Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes english is my first language and I pride myself in good grammar.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: My favorite subjects in school are math and science. I like to read or surf the net on my spare time. I enjoy playing and watching baseball and basketball.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Well most servers I get addicted to, I am sure this server will be no exception, I play at least 3 hours a day.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.: Roleplaying to me is when you create a character and then literally be that character. You act, talk and move like the character the way you imagine the character would in your head. Roleplaying leads to almost infinite possibilities of creativity and fun.

In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. Metagaming is using out of character information in character. So if you see someone say giving out free diamond at wherever in OCC you cannot go to that place and ask the person who said it for free diamond. This is because 1) you have most likely never meet the person and don't know their name and 2) you can't know they said that since they spoke it in OOC. Powergaming is skipping through the game without taking in the actions of roleplaying.

What do you expect this server will be like?: Fun. A whole lot of fun and good times. I stride to be positive and help others and I hope this server will not let down my expectations. I am planning on making good friends and staying for as long as possible.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have played on mainly faction PvP servers. I owned a faction server for a while but it became to pain to run so I sold it.

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

How did you hear about us?: I have been interested in a good roleplay server and found you on google.

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you? I haven't done this yet but when I finish this app it will be at the top of my To Do list.

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

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Ranger Will was not much older than 7 when he first saw his mother cry. He didn't really know why but it made him want to cry too, so he did. He walked up into her arms and cried. Later that night Will asked his mom where Dad was. His mom stifled tears and pointed to a letter on the table. Will made a impatient face because his mother knew he could not read. He tried to bring it close to her but she just began to sob again. He didn't know what was going on but knew his friend Mike could read. He walked over to his house and shoved the letter in mike's hands. Read he said. Mike began to read the letter out loud but about halfway through he looked up and realized Will had gone. Will sat alone on his bed thinking over what the letter said. He wanted to ask his mom but he could still hear her crying. He remembered what Mike had said, Dear Victoria and Will, if you are reading this I am already gone. I am sorry to say I can't provide for you anymore and I will not be coming home. I refuse to support you Victoria because you do nothing but sit and gossip all day. I am leaving for far away lands and will not return. This is when Will was on the verge of tears but because he was tough and couldn't be seen crying he had ran away from Mike. Will was angry. He felt he had done nothing wrong to deserve any of this. He decided if he was good enough dad would come back. He went to school and came home. He did what his mother told him, which wasn't much because she was always sleeping or staring out the window at nothing. Will soon realized that they had no food. Not to mention money. He tried to get his mom to work and make money but she did nothing. It was as if dad leaving had aged her 30 years. She was like a old lady now who needed babying. Will began to steal food and scavenge from anywhere he could. One day he came home and mom was asleep he went to wake her up but she kept her eyes closed. He shook her but she didn't move. He began to shake her harder but still nothing happened. Then a single tear rolled down his eye as he realized what had happened. She was dead. Now Will was in a rage. He grabbed his things and ran. He didn't know where he was going or even why but he knew he had to get away. He had to find a better life for himself. He became a loner and traveled around with no real goals. He became, a ranger. He trained his skills with the bow and sword and soon was a expert. And this reader is where young Will will pick up his story on Lord of the Craft.

Your characters ambitions: Ranger Will wants nothing more than to settle down somewhere. Both his parents walked out on him at a young age so he was always forced to mill about with not real home. Eventually he wants to find a wife and maybe even have kids. His other aspiration is to own the best sword and armor possible. He prides himself in fighting skills because he grew up having to fight for food and defend himself from rapist and bandits.

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? I immediately run up and un sheath my sword at the same time. I feel a great pride for my race and so of course I will help. I slam into the first attacker and cut him to pieces. The elf and I lock eyes and a sense of understanding passes between us. We both turn on the last bandit and finish him off together,

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? I glance up and respond "Not much I am just looking." He nods his head and I walk around the shop. I always find myself milling in the weapons area so that is where I go. I run my hand across the sharpened blades of the wonderful diamond swords. What I would do to own one of these I think to myself.

However please google search the term "Powergaming" and please provide an in-game picture of your skin, the net of the skin is of little use.
