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?: Gleeshers

How old are you?: 29

Are you aware the server is PG-13 (You won’t be denied for being under 13): Yes

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?: In my experience, metagaming is the quickest way to become a despised member of the community. Also, metagaming can go both ways. Someone can use in-character information to propagate OOC hate of the character’s owner. For this reason, I think it’s the best rule any server can enforce. Without a community that fights against metagaming, things can go south pretty quick.

 

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): No

 

How did you find out about Lord of the Craft? I RP on smaller servers, usually, and everyone knows about LoTC. Also, people send me frequent PMC requests to make skins for use here so I thought it’s high time I check it out.

What is roleplaying?: Roleplaying to me has always meant becoming an actor of sorts, playing out the role of a character who has been built with a bare-bones background and plenty of potential for the future. Essentially, the player behind the keyboard is providing the thoughts and actions for a fictional character in the game.

 

What is metagaming?: Metagaming is the use of knowledge gained while out of character that they would realistically never have the opportunity to gain. It can go the opposite way, however, and actions taken by someone in-character can be used as an excuse to harass or dislike someone out of character. Metagaming is one of the cardinal sins of roleplaying in any medium.

 

What is powergaming?: Powergaming is when the player gives their character completely unrealistic sets of skills. A farmer who has been a farmer all his life could never be as skilled with a sword as a warrior trained in battle since an early age. Realistically, that warrior would probably be able to mince up the farmer easily, but in a case of powergaming, the farmer might suddenly develop super-human skills with a pitchfork. In the middle of a battle, the abilities of each character should remain consistent with that character’s experiences and training. Along with metagaming, powergaming is another of the cardinal sins of roleplaying.

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.):

 

Her family wasn’t particularly wealthy, but they lived a secure enough life in Leuvaarden. Milly herself was possessed with an intense appreciation of all fine things, an an unfortunate trait that often left her disappointed as a child when her family simply could not hold a candle to her expectations. She wished and prayed as a child that she would become a wealthy merchant’s wife, or a prominent noblewoman, or even…dare she imagine…rule. The dreams of a child refuse to die easily, and only grow as they dream more and more ways to make their happy imaginings come to life.

 

While Milly was preoccupied with her daydreams, her father was quick to bring her back to the real world with a lash of his belt. “M’girl,” he’d say with breath that reeked of the wine Leuvaarden was so famous for, “you expect the world handed to you as though it were that easy.” He’d laugh as she cried, embarrassed at her own foolish dreams. Any time the family would go to Cloud Temple to see to someone’s healing, she’d sneak away and ask one of the monks if he could make her more beautiful. Naturally, she was always turned away and eventually they stopped acknowledging her at all.

 

Secretly, Milly plotted to leave her family and strike it out on her own. She’d save enough gold to buy a fine gown – after all first impressions last forever – and strike off on a wild adventure to find the success she craved. When new settlements sprouted in the Vailor wilderness, she became conveniently separated from her family, wandering down a different path, looking to make her own future.

 

Personality Traits: Milly is rash, but not unkind. While her enthusiasm hides some insecurities, these are quickly wiped away in a tied of excitement and fresh emotion. She is deeply critical of abuse on any level, having seen the worst of her father’s wrath. While this would make her appear altruistic, really she enjoys the attention she gains from being charitable. After all, in Milly’s eyes, appearances are everything.

 

Ambitions: Of course riches, fame, and a life of splendor are the goals of many a man and woman, but Milly has taken this desire to an art that borders on obsession. Honestly at this point she knows that realistically all she can probably expect is a small house and some manual labor. Maybe if she bats her eyes at the right fellow, or show the proper manners to a lady of power, they’ll take decent care of her. Baby steps, she tells herself often, baby steps will lead down the path to glory!

Strengths/Talents: She’s very good at the old phrase, ‘keeping up appearances,’ and is kind to strangers and old friends in equal measure. Her personal motto would seem to be optimism or death, and her unwavering chipper attitude makes her seemingly girlish wishes of wealth, power, and notoriety charming rather than obnoxious.

 

Weaknesses/Inabilities: Stubborn as a mule would put it rather bluntly, but Milly does not like to give way to the desires of others that conflict with her own. Her obsession with being seen as a fine lady often manifests itself this way, as she sees powerful women as having absolute rule over the people around them. After all, what queen would give way to the opinion of any save her King husband? Milly is slightly insecure at times, most likely due to the abuse her father gave to her when she was a child. She hides it under a veneer of respectability, often keeping her from revealing her true thoughts of a situation.  In essence, Milly is a perfect little daisy, lifting her face to the sun and never seeing the hand that plucks her from the earth.

 

Appearance (List the extra details of your characters appearance, IE; height & weight): An average young woman of height and build, Milly did take extensive care of her skin as a girl. Beauty, after all, is a blessing that must be cultivated. She’d rather own one exquisitely fine gown and no other garments than have several practical ones. She keeps her black hair neatly tucked away as she believes all fine ladies do, save for a few seemingly renegade strands around her face that she carefully cultivates to add a sort of refined unkemptness to the style.

 

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