-Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: Since I'm a high school student, I'm always busy with school work. But once I finish my school work, I game until I can't stop gaming. I usually prefer RP servers of World of Warcraft, but those aren't as creative as Minecraft, so I figured I'd give this a whirl.

This entailed greifers and 9 year old kids who thought it was a regular SMP server.

-Biography: It was 6th of The Grand Harvest, 1125 when Dofiro was brought into the world of Aegis. Exactly 14 years after emerging from his chamber of birth, he had began work for his nation; Kal’Urguan. From the get go, Dofiro was a bumbling klutz who couldn't even mine properly; as he broke his pickaxe often or picked an ore out incorrectly, causing it to shatter. Luckily, his overseer of work was his brother, Lucius, a very skilled blacksmith and minter within the Kal’Urguan nation at that time.

"I can't keep protectin' ye lit'le brother. Yer gonna have to carry yer weight!" Lucius said, in a drunken ramble. "I can teach ye me ways lit'le brother." That began Dofiro's training regament. Some nights they slept in the cave of which they were mining. All the hard work paid off; as Dofiro become talented at what he did. When Dofiro finally got the hang of mining ores properly, he was overcome by greed. The urge to continue mining and finding gems was in his blood; as it was the curse of Iblees, that was place on his forefather. Dofiro was not the only one overcome by greed either; his brother too, was cursed with greed. As him and hiss brother ventured deep within a shaft, it became more dangerous

for them to continue down, but Lucius couldn't help himself. "Get back to the forge with our earnings. Let father know of what we got. I gonna keep venturin' on, te see what goods I can find." and with that, Dofiro returned to the surface; not knowingss his brother will never return.

News of his brother's death spread through to the nation of Kal'Urguan; like wildfire in the forest of Malinor. For a full 50 years, Dofiro sulked and grieved over his brother's death. He was closer to his brother than his own birth givers, and anyone else within the nation. He decided to flee Aegis, in hopes of living in tranquility; mining to his hearts desire, to fulfill the curse placed on his ancestors. The Curse of Greed. Only, when he had fleed Aegis, he had no clue as to what he would do, where he would go, or to whom should he speak.

146 years had passed since he had fled Aegis in hopes of tranquility and riches. Only he had not received either. Nightly, he lacked protection from the creatures of Iblees and was always frightened of venturing deep within to mines, ever since the passing of his brother; so the greatest ore he's ever laid eyes upon was iron. Accepting defeat in his journey, Dofiro sobbed. He had not understood why God had treated him so cruely. First his brother and then his luck. His only option was to return to Aegis. Upon Dorfio's arrival in Aegis; he searched for his family and old friends. To no avail could he find them. But alas, he was empathetic and sought to restart his life. To experience the changes and the new world. Maybe things will be different for him. Maybe God will be on his side with his new quest in Aegis.
