[✔] [Accepted] Erikus6's Application

[erikus6 6]

sorry if the format looks wierd, I hadn't noticed that the format changed from what I had originally copied in 2014, on August 4th.

Out-Of-Character Information
 
The simplest section of the application. Answer these questions so we can get to know you a bit more. 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?: - erikus6
How old are you?: - 17
Have you ever roleplayed on a minecraft server before? If so, where?: - Remithia, TechroALO and a few others, 3/4ths of them are taken down though.
Have you applied to this server before? (Please link past applications): - no
How did you hear about us?: - the latest post on planet minecraft when i looked up roleplay servers (this was many many months ago though)
What do you think the server will be like? - a community with tight-knit groups of people playing together, interacting with others, and founding their play upon trust and enjoyment while interacting with the server's various mechanics and such.
Have you read and agreed to the rules?: - yes I have.
What’s the rule you agree with the most?: - the deprivation of fun for other players not being allowed, of all of them I hold this one closest. Roleplay servers such as this one is meant to allow each other to enjoy themselves, not just brutalize someone to the point they give up.
Do you understand combat rules, and what you can and can’t do if you do choose to roleplay as a villain?:- Yes I do.
Are there any rule(s) that confuse you or don’t make sense?(If so maybe we can help clear it up! You will not be denied for having a question on the rules):- No, I understand them and have good comprehension of them.
 
Definitions
 
These terms are a major part of the server and in a few of our rules. Please define them so that we can get an understanding of how much you know about roleplaying. Feel free to Google the answers or check on our wiki, but make sure that you write the reply in your own words, not those of another website or person!
 
What is roleplaying?: - using your imagination to weave an incredible world around you, from the small bar squabbles to the most epic of journies, all without having to leave your seat.
 
What’s metagaming?: - the use of knowledge your character couldn't possibly know, such as if someone were to roleplay that they were using the cure for the plague before the Dwarven Lord Onar Ireheart has discovered it, despite them also saying he told them how to.
 
What’s powergaming?: - focusing on one's self, giving an unfair advantage that other's do not possess, such as "being the greatest magic user of all" or "I am one of your gods, bow to me" in addition to forcing the rp, like making someone do something despite it going against their wishes.
 
In-Character Information
 
Now you actually make your character - be creative but stay reasonable! Make sure they make sense and that you follow lore. Try to come up with a character that you actually want to play.
 
What’s your character called?: - Tharoc Ashenstone
 
What race are they? (and sub-race if applicable): - Cave Dwarf
 
What gender are they?: - male
 
How old are they?: - (I am sorry if the dwarf becomes too old, when I looked at dwarf history I couldn't get a firm grasp on just how many years the lifespan of "hundreds of years before dying out" was)
102 soon to be changed to 389 (based off having written this in the past but needed to focus on my studies before I could play so it is now )
I'll have his age be this once I am further along, since it is unlikely for a 369 yr old dwarf to be completely inexperienced in his profession
 Born in Kal'Urguan on the 15th of The Amber Cold in 1119, in the final decades of The First Empire of Khorvad.

Give us a highlight of their past, What life events make your character the person they are today? This is your character's biography.
It is also required to include server lore when writing. (Names of towns, major server events, ect. Most lore can be found on our wiki.): -

The beginning of Tharoc's life was a not a very pleasant one. The Great Collapse, as it was later titled, was well underway by the time Tharoc was old enough to understand what was happening around him. It began with him wonder why all of his dwarf friends slowly starting disappearing, 1 here, 2 there, 3 the next week, etc. until only he was left.
One day, however, his mother told him "You cannot go outside anymore." "Why not?" Tharoc had wondered at the time, but it seems the question was no longer neccessary as he glanced outside. To his horror, people were being slain left and right, books being burned in great heaps. What madness was required to give birth to such a despicable order? That would be the dwarven Emperor Thorgarn. As Tharoc grew older and stronger, it happened. Kal’Urguan's gates came crashing down and the next hero king came in leading his army, the Remnant, into the city and slayed the tyrant Thorgarn. That day also marked the day that the last of his remaining loved ones died, fighting to free us all.

200 years pass, spent between exploration, training, and assisting others until Tharoc returns upon hearing about The Great War. A few more years go by as he fights on his race's side of the war and volunteers his services as a veteran in The Dwarven Legion to defeat The Purge, thus ending their immediate threat to Aegis. Many more years of travel and experimentation pass and Tharoc finds himself with even greater proficiency in mining and smithing than he had anticipated with the resources availible in Ansulon, although nowhere near reaching his goal.

Tharoc knew of the Grand Tournaments, but had little interest in "determining his worth" in combat, having already done enough fighting for a lifetime in Aegis. Eventually the call to battle once again rumbles through Tharoc's blood, "Battle of the Crossroads" being the first in a series of battles Tharoc would join in as a dwarven ally. This is later followed by defending against The Aytosian Society's invasion and fighting The Black Scourge. Having slacked his thirst for blood, Tharoc once again delves into his training, once again working on his skills in mining and smithing in the land known to many as Athera.
Extra info: His appearance oddly enough was caused by one too many naps after a long day's work in his forge after the fire had gone out, all the ash had mottled his skin and turned his beard the color of ashened stone, thus how Tharoc got his last name. (note that this was widely known to anyone who had heard of him, the coloring hiding his true age to an extent)

 
What are they like? (personality): - a bit forgetful at times, he is stubborn when he sets a goal but is flexible in how to reach it.
 Due to being a loner he doesn't know how to interact with others very well, but should his clan need him he is willing to give his all for the loyalty he places before most everything else.
 
What are their ambitions?: - becoming a master of wrought iron and hardened stone, of a skill high enough that people would crowd to see my wares should they learn where to look
 
Do they have any special skills? What are their weaknesses? (Try to list a few of both): -

Strengths:

    Belching the alphabet.
    Always being able to sleep no matter how bad the situation.
    A quick learner.
    Surviving devastating events through a mix of luck, skill, and sheer tenacity.
    Loyal to a fault

Weaknesses:

    When discovering precious metals, Tharoc grabs first, regrets later.
    He's a little on the forgetful side.
    Not a very popular dwarf, tends to spend his days to himself whether he wants to or not.
    He is not...."experienced" in the pleasure of women...
 
Give us a description of how they look?: - ashen colored hair, amber eyes, gravely gray skin, and a beard kept short.
 
Please give us a screenshot of your character’s skin: -
