Manathar's Second Application

[Manathar 4]

Out-Of-Character:

- Minecraft Account Name: MuddyCake

- How old are you?: 15

- Time-Zone/Country of Residence: New Zealand / +12 GMT

- Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Mostly the mistakes I make are in grammatical nature, however I may slip up with capitalization of letters from time to time. Spelling is no problem.

- Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: In my spare time I enjoy writing and listening to music or playing games with strong lore. I prefer RPG over non-RP. I really like music from the 70s to the 90s.

- How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Around three-four hours daily per week, so between 21-28 hours per week.

- How long have you played Minecraft?: Since last November.

- What do you know about Roleplaying? What is it?: I have played on RP and RP-PvP servers on World of Warcraft, and I RP with friends quite a lot. I believe that RP is taking on the persona of the character developed by you and performing every action, making every decision, as the character would.

- What do you expect this server will be like?: On previous Minecraft servers with the McMMO plugin, I have found the factions, though not RP, to be an interesting part of the game experience, and now with RP I hope that it will be just as complex except with more immersion.

- What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have played on a friend's server for a while and left because he could no longer support it; I moved to the Bro Server with a friend and left after a few weeks because I had found a server that I could play with all my friends, for a short interval I played on a friend's server with the rest of my Minecraft playing friends and I left because the hosting was rented for a month only, I then moved on to the Auscraft server with my friends which I have not left, and I intend to alternate between this and that server.

- Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules? What about the lore?: Yes. I find the lore to be interesting, however some patches are a bit bare.

- Name the 4 races on this server: Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Orcs. I do not know if Ascended and Undead count.

- How did you hear about us?: While browsing for texture packs, I found Scuttles's LB pack and through that, this server.

- Did you vote?: Yes.

- What was your favourite law?: No destroying of the world's landscape. I like landscape to be pristine as it was naturally (or rather randomly generated) formed. Things like floating trees irritate me greatly.

- What was your least favourite law?: I think that all the laws are necessary in their own way, and I don't feel that any law is unfair or unneeded, so I have no least favorite law.

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

In-Character:

- Character Name: Ignaeous 'Goldy' l'Arnan

- What is your Race?: Human

- Biography: Once a petty thief from the streets, Goldy, as he prefers to be known, is a bastard son of a human noble, and being a bastard son, was left uncared for by his father, and abandoned on the streets of Al'Khazar. As he grew, he was picked up by various street gangs and taught the tricks of the trade. Drifting from town to town with a group of men, he stole what he needed to survive, but after a while, he grew weary of the constant thievery and lying. Questioning the lessons he had learnt early on in life, he decided to leave them and start a new life for himself, one without any blemishes or disreputable actions to stain his name. Having learnt all he could from them, he decided to make his way on the world on his own. After a rough encounter with an orc that left him witha healthy respect for the race and their physical prowess, he found himself wandering down the King's Road towards Kal'Alras, a city which he was quite enamoured with; the scenic beauty and elegant stone walkways of the city seeming to reflect the grandeur he strove to attain. Loitering at the outskirts of the city, he was struck by the intelligence and depth of the conversations he heard, and soon made it his goal to gain wisdom and knowledge so that he too, might one day be included in such talks.

His wanderings took him to the Elven city of Laurelin, where he marvelled at the natural splendour of the trees and flora that so contrasted with the practical architecture so common in the Orc War-Nation, which he had spent a brief sojourn in before hastily making his way back to Oren. Finding some peace in tending to plants, he decided to take it up as a pastime, and sought out a mentor who taught him of the teachings of the Arch Druid Brandybuck and directed him to the writings of the Arch Druid. Now, armed with basic knowledge of tasks and lessons from the streets, Goldy began his quest to forge himself anew.

- Character Age: 23

- Character Appearance: His grey piercing eyes are hard and unused to mirth, and his elegantly sculpted features seem perpetually set in disdain. A widow's peak finishes the ensemble of a patrician of old. His bearded visage is unusually clean, and in his right ear is a golden earring, the source of his nickname. In public, he makes no attempt to disguise his lowly roots, wearing stained peasants garb.

- Character Personality: Though truly cold and secretive, he appears to others as a polite, respectful person, reserving his true opinions of others to himself. In nostalgia of his roots, he often frequents taverns and other disreputable parts of society. He does not enjoy the company of halflings, seeing them as aberrations, however he recognizes their skills and grudgingly respects them. He dislikes wastefulness, especially in human skills.

- Your ambitions: Goldy seeks to transcend his roots via whatever means necessary. Even though his ambition is noble, he doesn't mind dabbling in any dirty business as long as it is profitable.

- Can your character read or write?: He can read, and he can write, however his handwriting is atrocious, and he wouldn't know what to write about.

- Can your character mine?: No, he prefers trading or hiring others to mine for him as he has never used a pickaxe in his life. Working stone is something he will never be good at.

- Are you a capable builder?: Building is not his strong point, however he has a flair for designing bad-looking structures which are in his mind, elegant.

- Can you wield a sword?: He has had some experience with swords, however he prefers knives, but essentially anything with a blade is good enough.

- Enjoy Farming?: Farming has always been therapeutic for him, and he enjoys it. Being surrounded by lush greenery soothes him, and the smell of growing crops is calming for him.

- Does your character have any special skills?: He has learnt pick-pocketing and lock picking from fellow thieves, however those skills he will not use as he is attempting to turn a new leaf, and he has developed a knack for telling valuable items from fakes after conning others with similar fakes.
