Application for Spacewolf

[Spacewolf 0]

Out-Of-Character:

Minecraft Account Name:

Spacewolf78

Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?:

I did not attend.

How old are you?:

I am 18.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:

I live in the United States in California, Pacific time.

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

That's one of the things I pride myself on, yes.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

I'm currently attending Humboldt State University as a Sociology major. I'd say I'm a fun person to interact with, not to sound vain. Making friends is important for me, and I'll try to be nice in general with everyone.

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

Several, although I'll have to put school work ahead of video games when studying is necessary.

What do you know about Roleplaying? What is it?:

I've always thought of roleplaying like acting, with some differences, obviously. I've been roleplaying in various games such as Garry's Mod and Minecraft for a very long time now. Roleplaying is, as the name suggests, taking the role of a character and acting in a way that that person would act. Different from simply playing as a character in, say, a first person shooter game, in that you actually care if your character is hurt, what people say to them, etc. You don't play the character, you are the character, and you feel their emotions like your own.

In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are.

From what I've learned in past RP experiences, Metagaming is using OOC information IC, such as reading a forum post saying "I got killed and dropped my gun outside the bar" and then going there in character to retrieve that item. You may know about it, but your character does not, and so using that information to gain an advantage is cheating.

Powergaming is forcing your actions upon other players, such as saying "I punch you" instead of "I attempt to punch you". You need to give other players a chance to react.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

From what I've heard and seen, I expect it to be a lot of fun. I've been looking for a good roleplay experience since others I've been on have fallen apart before I could really get into them.

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

I've mostly roleplayed in Garry's Mod before this. There, I rose through the ranks of a popular community run by someone named Kudomiku, or Conna Cook. It started as a simple Half-Life 2 RP, but expanded into Real-Life, Medieval, Zombie, etc as the server became more popular. Unfortunately, like many communities, unavoidable things led to the downfall of that. Ever since then, I've been searching for more opportunities to have the same amount of fun I had there, with less success. Afterwards, I played various other servers.

Recently, I got back into the RP scene with a Minecraft server called Age of Mines. It's run exclusively to members of Facepunch, another forum. Since it was exclusive to this, it was never a big server, but it was still a lot of fun, and the other people on it were good RPers as well. That eventually died when stealing items became a widespread problem.

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

I have.

How did you hear about us?:

Reading forums, someone mentioned Lord of the Craft, so I googled it, and here I am.

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you?

Didn't know what it was until now, but I'll go vote.

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

Spacewolf.

In-Character:

Character Name:

Azure McCarthy

What is your Race?:

Human, Female.

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):

Azure was born into a moderately well-off family. Her mother died in child-birth, and her father was a blacksmith. She took after her father in his craft, although never mastering smithing the way her father did. She learned from him how to fight with a sword, craft basic items from iron and steel, and also took after his charisma in selling goods. Her father was stricken with an unknown illness, and although Azure tried to keep his business going, she was unable to run it by herself. At 23, she has begun searching for other ways to make money, to support her and her father as well as keep him alive.

Azure is young looking, has long brown hair, brown eyes, and wears a necklace with a sapphire that belonged to her mother. She refuses to sell it unless it is a last resort. Her clothing is typical, nothing adorned with gold, but better than a standard peasant's garb. She is relatively short, shorter than most. She remains a friendly person, and retains her father's charisma, although she can sometimes be a bit too brave for her own good, bordering on foolish at times, especially if it means helping someone. While her bravery extends to long journeys that could lead to danger, it sometimes fails when in immediate danger. When faced with hostility, it takes some willpower for Azure to not leg it in the other direction.

Your characters ambitions:

Finding some way to cure her father of her ailments, while continuing her family's "legacy", as she sees it, though they've never been particularly out of the ordinary.

Other Information:

Please let me know if anything's done wrong, I've never been great at applying for things like this. I hope I can play on this server real soon :3
