Badgerz' Application

[Badgerz 0]

Here's another try. I realized that in previous applications, that the story wasn't exactly as original as I was aiming for. So, after a bit of thought, I was aiming for a more "unique" story that didn't stem too far from the lore.

Out-Of-Character:

Minecraft Account Name:

Badgerz

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

I didn't attend MineCon.

How old are you?:

18.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:

Central Standard ; United States.

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

Yes I do.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

I love to create stories and characters. Being able to make environments and situations that center around the character, and being able to see how they react, this even more enticing.

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

About 3-5 days a week.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.:

I've been roleplaying for years, whether or not I was fully aware of it. As I managed to get a better understanding of it, I was able to actually look for others who share the same love of it.

Roleplaying is being able to immerse yourself into a story as a character (or in some cases, characters) and play them out as if they were in an environment. Depending on their personalities, they would act a certain way, and talk to others in a specific manner. Being able to completely change the way a character talks to someone else is an awesome thing.

If you can see yourself in your character's place and successfully play in their role, then you're talented.

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

It's a poor form of roleplaying, really. It's unable to distinguish borders between your character and allows you to delve into territory which is just unrealistic, thus ruining the experience for others around you.

Besides, no one likes to play with someone who thinks they have all the power in the world.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

Organized and very fun. After looking around a bit, I can see that the world is very neat and clean. It's easy to lose yourself as you're just walking down a pathway to a town and slip into your character.

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

I played on my friend's server about a year ago. It was fun, but it was unstable and tended to be filled with the types of people that weren't very fun. It's really not cool to go to your city and find a giant obsidian phallic item sitting in the center.

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

Yes, yes and yes.

How did you hear about us?:

The Minecraft Forums.

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

I have; Number 2,131

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

Badgerz

In-Character:

Truthfully, the story I had before didn't exactly suit me. I figured that I could go much further that before. So, here it is.

Character Name:

Straef, Claw of the Badger.

What is your Race?:

Human.

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

Straying from the human kingdom, Straef has turned onto his own path, in an attempt to forge his own kingdom. Originally from another land, he has grown tired of his oppressed nation and has sought freedom in the world around him. He stays away from organized factions to avoid falling into the same, corrupt trap of his homeland.

Straef has taken many names throughout his life, and at the age of 25 he has claimed his most recent one. While his name may change, he still holds his title, Claw of the Badger. His title was given to him by the Militia of his home. Despite the corruption his city had, the respect for its military has proven to be permanent reminder of strength, duty and order.

The badger was seen to be a general nuisance of society. Yet, despite its annoyances, it proved to be strong, cunning and unpredictable. Its claw served its weapon, and could provide devastating results, despite its simpleness. The badger has become a staple of strength and honor in Straef's old nation, and he holds the title with dignity and honor-- to cleanse the land of chaos and destruction.

The personality of Straef has developed from his experiences in life. As a child, he was happy, timid and willing to take any order given to him. However, as the years passed, he has learned to hate society and the world around him. He has grown cynical and cold. Despite his harsh view on the world, he still holds a sliver of hope. In his attempt to find a new land to call his own, he wishes to find those who hold a higher value of life and loyalty than those of his previous nation.

Your characters ambitions:

What fuels the ambitions of Straef is to purge the world of chaos and disorder. He wishes to ground order and law onto the lands of Aegis.

Out in the Wilds, your character comes across a small cottage. Outside, there appears to be an elf struggling combat with two bandits. What does your character do?

Slipping over his armor onto his face, from under his hood, he readies his weapon and charges. His left arm, armored with a large gauntlet obliterates the jaw of the smaller of the two bandits. Falling to the ground, the man screams in agony. The elf, now a few feet back, stares in horror as the man wriggles around the grass as blood seeps from his wounds.

Taking a pause to eye the other bandit, Straef proceeds to taunt the man, asking if he wishes to experience the same fate as his ally. As sweat begins to form on the ridges of the man's eyebrow, he drops the knife from his left hand and shuffles to his friend. Lifting him from his arms, he drags him into the wilderness, as the damaged man screams into the dark.

Straef looks onto the elf and motions her towards the cottage. He then starts to walk down the path, opposite from her, knowing that she can now take care of herself.

Your character walks up to a shop in the middle of Al'Khazar. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer?

My flesh is raw from the cold. If you manage to find me something to aid the chill, then I shall make it worth your while. Hurry.
