Out-Of-Character Information

Please do your best to correct spelling and grammatical errors, this is an RP server and writing is the main form of communication!

 

What’s your Minecraft Account Name?: Eandyil

How old are you?: 33

Are you aware the server is PG-13 (You won’t be denied for being under 13): I sure am now! I tend not to swear, regardless.

Have you applied to this server before? (Please link all past applications): No

Have you read and agreed to the rules?: Yes

What’s the rule you agree with the most?: That you've got to have both sides agree on mechanics vs written PvP. I'm generally in preference of PVE, but I don't have a problem with PvP either.

Are there any rule(s) that confuse you or don’t make sense?(If so we can help clear it up! You will not be denied for having a question on the rules): Not at this moment, but I am game to ask questions as I come up with them.

How did you find out about Lord of the Craft? I went browsing some server lists looking for a new RP Server. I used to host my last one, but me and my co-founder had issues IRL, and I left it to him. It's somewhat ironic that Finite Realms doesn't seem to exist anymore.

Feel free to Google the answers or browse our forums, but make sure that you write the reply in your own words, not those of another website or person!

 

What is roleplaying?: That honestly depends on who you ask. For instance, my sister would tell you it's getting dressed (in character) and grabbing your gear (foam weapons/armor) and meeting your foes on the field of battle! My nephew thinks it involves paper and dice, and a good DM. Roleplaying is, in essence, anything done in character.

What is metagaming?: Using out of character knowledge in game. For instance, if I've done a quest before I might know that the loot was hidden in a tree stump, then have my character say "Hey, that looks like a likely place" and instantly rush off for that, instead of going step by step through the adventure for the first time. There's no reason to look there, as the character has no idea it's there, but by going out of my way to find a reason to look there I'm metagaming.

What is powergaming?: Powergaming is essentially gaming toward a specific goal to the exclusion of all else. A powergamer will often stick to the rules, but will often ignore story and roleplay unless it furthers her personal ambitions. Her goal is to maximize her character and achieve her goals, and she might say such things as: "Get out of my group, you're killing my xp!" or "I can't help you right now, I've got to get to that GM event and you'll just slow me down." Power gamers are also known for trying to twist everything to their advantage, observing the letter of the rules but ignoring the spirit that the rules were made in. For instance, if it's technically legal to steal something for an RP, a powergamer might steal something they want and claim it was for an RP. And finally, powergamers tend to try to make it very difficult to be beaten. If you lay in wait for a day, waiting for just the right time to attack her, she somehow manages to instantly know you are there and avoids your attack. If you shoot her with a fireball, she insta dodges behind that person. If you hit her with a person-specific missile, she teleports out of it's range of attack and then teleports back to hit you.

 

In-Character Information

 

Character’s name: Eandyil (Nathar)

Character’s gender: Male

Character’s race: Mali (Specifically wood elf)

Character’s age: 29

Biography  (Please make it a decent two paragraphs long. Remember to add server lore, and events that happened to your character so that they don’t contradict history.): Eandyil Nathar has endured much over the years, or so he thinks. He was separated from his family when they left the old lands for the Fringe. His mother, Rhian, had been pregnant, and all the world knows how precious that is to the elven people. His father, Chase, had left him with his grandfather's sword (Eriond), bow (Belar), and armor. While tasked to stick close, he could not help but stop to aid a pair of desperate humans, a husband and wife. The wife had fallen, and the husband was trying to protect her as the masses fled for the gate with the same urgency so many shared.

He helped the lady to her feet, and with the humans fled to the Fringe as well. While armed, there was little he could do to halt the destruction of the only world he'd ever truly known, the land he'd called home for so long. He'd planned to find his family on the other side, but the chaos of the moment made it truly impossible to find anyone. He stayed with the young man and his wife, whose names he'd learned were Beltien and Polerin, planning to search the various communities of the Mali. But time had a way of passing, and there was so much that needed to be done to truly build their new world. The young man spent his time helping his new friends, building their town, living as they did. Few others truly seemed to trust him, alas, as the more superstitious of the community began to blame him for any little thing that went wrong. While Beltien and Polerin did their best to stop it, there's only so much that can be done. And so, at last, young Eandyil has set out on his quest. First to retrieve his grandfathers arms and armor, and then to find his kin.

Personality Traits: Brave, Loner, Has a good heart but poor people skills

Ambitions: To find his people and relearn their ways.

Strengths/Talents: While an Elf, having spent so much time living with humans has changed his perceptions somewhat. He's more prone to building in the human style than that of the Mali. Having helped forage for the town, he is still quite good with his bow, and he's learned to blend the styles of the human and mali in such a way as to have a somewhat unique look.

Weaknesses/Inabilities: Generally anti-social, although there is hope he will overcome this shortcoming in time. He's sometimes inordinately stubborn, a little arrogant when cornered but more likely to avoid a confrontation than to cause one. That said, he won't run from a fight unless the odds are highly against him.

Appearance (List the extra details of your characters appearance, IE; height & weight): He's tall for a wood elf, almost as tall as a regular human. He's somewhat muscular, with an ageless quality about him.

Appearance, please provide us a screenshot of your character’s skin (If you need help, see our screenshot guide here):

For whatever reason, every time I try to upload a screenshot it says "No file was selected for upload." It shows the file name, it just doesn't accept it. I'll try and add it to this post later.

 

I still can't upload here, but I did on my photobucket account.
