[Wookieguy 2]

(The application example pages were not accessible to me ([#10342] We could not determine which forum this topic is in.)

Out-Of-Character:

Minecraft Account Name: Wookieguy

Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?: No

How old are you?: 15

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: CST, Texas, USA

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

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am a homeschooled kid that is quite enthused about Minecraft and Roleplaying, which surprisingly work together very well. I enjoy using my imagination in creative/social ways, which makes building, writing, and talking in a Roleplay environment thrilling for me.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: 10-16 hours, usually at night

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.: Roleplaying is being another person, and totally immersing yourself in that character. His/her hopes and ambitions become yours, their mind is your mind. You must think as they would. It is a thrilling adventure into a world which you are not in, from perspectives you have never had. In a very basic term: mature imagination.

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

Metagaming is a dangerous tool for roleplayers. While it can be used to the advantage of everyone's enjoyment, it is most often referenced as the act of manipulating your character's actions according to what you as a player knows, in an unrealistic and abusive way. To use good Metagaming is to make sure "fate" takes your character to places that will be interesting to you as a player and that will let you and those around you have fun, because of the path your character happens to take.

Bad Metagaming is to make your character say/do something that makes no logical sense according to his current state. Such as claiming he saw someone steal an item from a store shelf, when there was no previous agreement of the event. Of course, if those players agreed upon the event OOC, as a fun plot device, it is usually acceptable.

Metagaming is also a quality of an overpowered character, who is able to do things that are unfair to other players.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect to find a large player base of mature Roleplayers, who will play out their characters realistically and responsibly.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: Tales of Mel-Lenxia, which simply ran out of Administrator attention, so the RP was not able to be maintained in the required fashion.

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

How did you hear about us?: From a friend on this server (Falco8513)

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you? Yes: 3,679 if I am correct... which I am not positive I am.

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

In-Character:

Character Name: Wookir Turril

What is your Race?: Elf

Biography : Who am I? Oh, how I dream of the day when I shall be asking that to you... None the less, as I have already so generously stated my name, I shall proceed to tell of my glorious past. I was raised by a loving mother and strong, albeit absent, father in the trees of Laurelin. I do suppose it was my father's side of the family who gave me my brown hair, though none on that side had it to the extreme as I. A sign of my high birth and glorious future I assume. Well, there is rumor that my head was tainted with a spilled potion while I was young... but that may be factually inaccurate. My parents taught me the ways of the forest and of life, as any good parents should, until I left the house at the perfect age of 20. Well, I admit it may not have been so perfect, as my parents were quite forceful of me leaving... but I digress.

I decided that a good course of action would be to learn the skill of self sustenance, which led me to be trained in the art of farming by a dear friend of the family. I spent the next 15 years working a field on the edge of the sea, and selling the produce to a young man who came by every few months with supplies I could not create myself. Come to think of it, I never did know that man's name...

After bringing myself to such a natural level of happiness, I decided to become a writer, to document my extraordinary life. I wrote a book within the first two years of this decision, which sold out immediately! Oh, um, I apologize for that factual oversight. I only sold ten copies, but I am sure the Devine will use them to a glorious purpose! After such results of my work, I make another very pivotal decision: I would have to travel the world and learn from elsewhere to teach others about the world. This came after much pondering of myself, where I cam to the conclusion that my mind was not fully ready for the... pardon me, this is not what you asked to hear, I do apologize for your ignorance.

I am currently on the venture to see the world, and make contact with other creatures of my own kind. Being that I have had experience with approximately ten other elves in my life, I should be quite fluent in social graces! Well, I did have little choice because of my farm being washed into the sea... but such things are not to be dwelled upon by mortals! Oh no, we shall go hither into the world, and seek new fortune and glory to be told upon the un-countable tomes of time! Yes yes, now, you wouldn't happen to have a loaf of bread on hand, would you? My body seems to be without nourishment, and my sack without supply...

Your characters ambitions: I wish to be known across the world as one who was successful in life, living the way that only the Divine could match! Of course, such lofty goals are only dreams in the eyes of mortal creatures, because we have only the near future to look to in our plane. My current goals would to at least create a sustainable living experience, and to create another novel to spread the wisdom that is me to the ignorant of the land!

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?

Sirs, I do wonder why you would be committing such acts against a fellow here... Oh my, you didn't have to do that... I do beseech you, unhand him! Do not worry sir, I shall obtain assistance in the next village, if only you would hold... Oh, now? Hmm, I do not normally perform in combat such as this... run and get the guards? Yes, I shall sir, good elf, you are wise... Yes yes! I am going! I see no reason to yell for such mortal conditions such as this, by the Divine! No need to be pushy, silly creatures...

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?

Help me? You wish to assist me? I should be thinking that you would be the one seeking my guidance in such a place... Oh, I see, you seek knowledge as to the condition of my need of material goods? Very well, I do think I could do to look at some of your wares, possibly I could even reimburse you for my receiving your items.

A screenshot of your skin: http://imgur.com/4AXA0 (I hope to add more original clothing later)

Other Information: My character is a bit arrogant by nature, so do not be alarmed if it sounds like he is attempting to sound very superior and wise: which would be very much a lie. He has great aspirations, but is very much clueless in social graces and the general pattern of life. Sort of like the over-protected child, except that he inflicted the condition upon himself.

(sorry, couldn't give you anymore time)

-You seem to have forgotten to add powergaming definition.

-I am not sure you understand the age of maturity in elves compared to humans, you should find it in the wiki.

If you are still unsure of why you were denied, send me a pm and I

Will gladly explain.

Please wait 48 hours before posting another application.

Have a nice day/night :)
