Zdrok's Application

[Zdrok 0]

Out-Of-Character:

-Minecraft Account Name: Zdrok

-How old are you?: 16

-Time-Zone/Country of Residence: Eastern Standard, USA.

-Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes, I scored 710 on the writing PSAT in 9th grade and am in AP English.

-Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am a junior in high school who love computers and video games. I'm learning C++ and considering computer science as a career.

-How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Quite a lot (it'd be possible to spend about 5 hours a day) but if I play for more than about 4 hours at a time I start to get insanely depressed.

-How long have you played Minecraft?: Since about last June. I played Classic for a while and bought it around when Notch was quitting his job.

-What do you know about Roleplaying? What is it?: I know a lot about RP; I played on Gmod RP server for a while but left since most of the players were obsessed with deathmatching and just getting as much money as possible. Roleplaying is separating your out-of-character self from your in-character self, going beyond what is explicitly demanded by the game in order to create a realistic situation in-character, and not using meta-information like overhead names in character.

-What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect the large amount of players to allow for a total immersion in a universe where even small relationships and buildings matter.

-What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I played on Epic Saga Online for a long time. I eventually lost interest as my region wasn't doing much and only had 2 other active citizens; the server later died out and I haven't played public SMP for a while.

-Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes.

-Name the 4 races on this server: Humans, Orcs, Elves, and Dwarves.

-How did you hear about us?: I was looking up a 256x photorealistic texture pack () and I followed a link from the topic.

-What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name?: Zdrok

In-Character:

-Character Name: James Moffatt

-What is your Race?: Human

-Biography: I was raised an only child in an upper-class household. My mother cared for me and my father taught me all about mechanics, building, astronomy and all kinds of things. He worked as a scientist always trying to learn more about the world.

One night...something came for us. I am hesitant to reveal much, but I have sufficient reason to believe that both of my parents were killed. My mother had hidden me in a basement where I finally fell asleep, but I woke up in a field. I could never find my way back to the city and I had no idea what the name of my homeland was. The mystery of my childhood still confounds me today. I wandered the wilds for a month or two until I came upon the Temple.

[edited -- Just read a forum post that explicitly forbid exactly this; yeah I get that it's over the top. Please consider the continuation below instead.]

When I was 17, I left on a journey to find myself. My parents did not approve of this, but I was growing more and more dissatisfied with my life. I was never happy with what was granted to me; I felt I needed to earn it. I left home with nothing but food, a backpack, my clothes, and the will to survive. After three days, I arrived at the Cloud Temple and began looking for work.
