-What do you know about roleplaying? How long have you been doing it? What kind?: I know that roleplaying is when you enter the mind and shoes of a created character. What they see and hear is what I see and hear. I have played RPGs and games like Dungeons and Dragons before but I am yet to try it on a multiplayer medium.

-What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I originally started playing on 7chan’s Minecraft server but the lag and griefing issues got out of hand so I then migrated to Battlecraft.

In-Character:

-Character Name: Pontus

-What is your Race?: Human

-Biography: Pontus grew up in the city of Oren. His father was a coal miner and a drunkard. His mother died in childbirth, which Pontus’ father blamed him for. He would beat Pontus at every opportunity during his angry drunken rages. Through childhood he had to work in the mines with his father to bring in enough money to survive. Most of the money they earned went to his father’s drinking habit and Pontus had to hide his own meager wealth away so he could eat. Pontus was a resourceful and independent child. In his spare time, he would sneak into schoolyards and eavesdrop on lessons. Through this he learned basic reading and writing. Pontus’s life changed suddenly on one fateful night after the pair returned from the mines. Pontus was practicing his writing with a chunk of coal on the floor by the fireplace. Seeing his writing for the first time, his now drunken father laughed and abused Pontus’ for his unintelligible scrawl. In a minor outburst, Pontus threw the chunk of coal at his father. He missed. His father picked up the coal chunk and beat Pontus viciously with it until not a patch of his face was without blood and gashes. In a final act of cruelty, The enraged man took Pontus by his collar and forced his face into the burning coals of the fireplace.

Surprisingly, Pontus survived, but he was permanently and horrendously disfigured. People in the neighborhood no longer recognized him. Some even referred to him as “Rotting Imp” as he looked similar to the decaying undead. Seeing his reflection in a bucket of water after his recovery disgusted Pontus to the point of sickness. He took to wearing an almost skin-tight iron helmet, never taking it off for anything. When Pontus turned 15 he ran from his father and drifted from town to town. After being regarded with suspicion by townsfolk and treated poorly by guards he cursed all civilization and left for the simplicity and savagery of the wilds. However, on his 20th birthday, Pontus returned to Oren for one night. If you look at the city records for that date, you may see a minor note about the suspicious death of a local drunk. Suspicious in that no-one could be drunk enough to mistakenly eat 13 burning coals.

-Character Age: 30

-Character Appearance: Ragged, brown garnments. He covers his face completely with an iron helmet as well as some old armour on his front and back.

-Character Personality: Generally sarcastic and cynical. Has a mistrust for any city-folk. Detests elves for their fine features.

-Your ambitions: He heard about warriors building and defending forts to quell undead raids. Despite his civillisation weariness, he finds this an honorable enough occupation to do it himself. He just needs to work out where these men are. He may end up having to go through the cities he hates. First, though, he needs supplies to make the long journey. And he sure as hell won’t pay for any plots of land to grow it!

-Can your character read or write?: He can read a little and scrawl his name, but he never found the skill all that useful in the wilds.

-Can your character mine?: Yes. He has experience.

-Are you a capable builder?: I am.

-Can you wield a sword?: Yes. The wilds are a very dangerous place for a man who can’t fight.

-Enjoy Farming?: He doesn’t mind it. It isn’t particularly enjoyable, but it’s a means to an end.

-Does your character have any special skills?: Suicidal attacks. He cares little about his life. If cornered by a dozen undead he would charge them with a wooden sword. I'm sure that's useful... somehow...

-A screenshot of your skin: I'm hoping I attached a screenshot to this.

-Other Information: I really hope I am accepted! This server looks fantastic!
