-Minecraft Account Name:

Orrosta

-How old are you?:

18

-Time-Zone/Country of Residence:

(UTC – 6) Central Time. USA

-Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?:

I understand and speak the English language very well.

-Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

I am a very creative person, with a good imagination. I write and draw a lot, as well as play video games that are usually semi-rp based. A lot of my hobbies and work revolve around computers, so its easy to get into a game while working on something, and it usually helps the creativity part, giving me ideas about what I can do. Rp allows for some simulated interactions that would not/have not happened in ordinary life, allowing me to understand how people react in those situations better through what I and others decide to do through RP.

-How much time could you be on the server weekly?:

At least an hour every day most likely, and usually I should be able to get on much longer then that.

-How long have you played minecraft?:

I started playing right after Beta came out.

-What do you know about roleplaying? How long have you been doing it? What kind?:

I've been playing through D&D and RP threads and forums since around when I was 13. When role playing, you play the role, like in a play, you are the character. As the character you can only use what the character has or knows, and to do otherwise is metagaming. Everyone else is also a character, and if you do not allow them to do what they can do because of what your character can do, it is powergaming.

-What do you expect this server will be like?:

A world that the players truly get to influence through their own actions and drama. A interactive and constantly evolving book that you and 100s of people are writing together.

-What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?:

I've played on Elosk's server, Flabiliki's server and a few others, but left them due to them going down and unenjoyable experiences.

-Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules? What about the lore?:

Yes, I have read through the rules and lore. I have studied the Orcish lore to make sure my character fits within it.

-Name the 4 races on this server.

There are many subraces and advanced races, but the four main races are

Orc,

Human,

Elf,

Dwarf

-How did you hear about us?:

-Did you vote?:

Yes, I voted on all 3 websites.

-What was your favorite Law?:

“PVP without RP is against the rules, including fighting with the Undead. “ Increases the amount of RP.

-What was your least favorite Law?:

“You must follow your Kingdoms Laws if you do not have an accepted villain application. “ Its sort of against Rp, since desperate non-villians sometimes have to break laws to survive.

-Summary of Biography:

Orrosta was born in a small nomadic tribe, and his birth led to the death of his mother. He was raised by the tribe's head hunter and taught how to hunt beasts by him. He was recruited into a orcish army at 16 years of age and was deployed with little training. He taught himself to fight through his hunting tactics and was in many wars and battles against the armies enemies he knew nothing about. *During a battle, Orrosta was hit in the face by flaming timber*. Orrosta lost his mouth to scarring and much of his hair to the fire. He was too injured to be aloud in most armies and he could not talk so he did not get much social interaction. He instead began practicing and learning, studying the art of war, and relatively, politics. Orrosta traveled the world and learned about the world and how its peoples fight each other. He got into a few horrible situations and also a lot of fights in the wilds, but he survived and learned from them. He learned from engineering books how to modify his traditional animal skin garb into an easily changeable, useful, and less barbaric looking style. He has never visited his old tribe, as it's constant movement would take too much time to track and pinpoint.

His mouth limits him to tearing with his tusks instead of teeth, so he has to basically stab his food on his tusks and drink the juices and small bits that fall off. This limits how much he gets out of food, making him eat more often, so he has occasionally had to go to extremes to eat through cannibalism, eating bone cartilage and drinking blood. He sometimes uses these methods of eating that his stomach has gotten used to for fear tactics against people, but usually he has enough food and soup around that he doesn’t have to do those things.

-Character Age:

73

-Character Appearance:

Orrosta stands 8 ft tall with the strength and figure of an ox. He has lost most of his hair, but what is left is slowly turning gray, with the exception of the blood died tips, shining crimson atop his head. His eyes are also red as blood, a rare trait passed from father to son. His skin looks as if it is sand, like the others of his people. His chin sticks out from his face and his tusks are long, the right tusk even longer due to chipping on his left tusk. Most of his jaw is missing in the middle, replaced with scar tissue that covers most of his mouth. He has small mouth openings behind his tusks. His clothing is made of animals he has killed due to his tribe's traditions, and he has teeth sewn into certain places that release folds that allow him to change the lengths of the clothing at will. The hood on the back of the shirt is custom fitted to fit well with his unique facial features.

-Character Personality:

*Fighting is what he knows best, but this brute is actually very well read. He is very intelligent, and knows how to use his orcish traits and wounds to his advantage. He thinks of everything as a battle, and every person as a battle which he must win through clever actions. prefers to be in a group of friends, laughing and goofing off but is usually alone, acting unsociable because it's simply easier than trying with people.*

-Your ambitions:

To one day lead an army of his own.

-Can your character read or write?:

Yes, he reads a lot.

-Can your character mine?:

No

-Are you a capable builder?

No

-Can you wield a sword?:

Yes, but he prefers an axe .

-Enjoy Farming?:

He does not enjoy farming

-Does your character have any special skills?:]

He can make a very loud, beast-like war-cry due to his mouths almost nonexistence. He has gotten used to eating almost anything, including bones and blood. His loss of taste has made his body focus slightly more on his other senses.

Do please message me when you correct your biography.

The rest of the application is fairly well done, however I do believe that your definition of roleplay is a bit too specific...IT is a means of interaction through another character, impossible events can occur but a conversation for example is not impossible

Currently, all characters who are applying have never had interactions with the undead, that is specific to when a person is accepted and they roleplay with the undead in the server. I recommend altering it to get a different reasons for that scar for example. The rest of the biography seems pretty well thought out ( Though did you mean baby? Babe can work, however not for some of the ways you used it.)

I do however believe that it is necessary to correct some things to add more depth to your character, I think that the biography shows little personality for the character)

Good job, we'll work on getting you added to the lore

Also I still think it should not be even related to magic, maybe a tent burning?

[Bbstorm 13]

The lead up in the story being a battle, magic was the only plausible thing I could think of at the time. A tent burning in his younger years could work, I'll get around to a rewrite soon with a better explanation.

Thanks for the "accept", all the advice and other help. Your definitely the best out of application team members I've seen in action.
