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

Appearance: pale from being underground for so long, Gray Hair, He's usually wearing ripped up clothing, He has small grey eyes.

Age: 87

Personality: He's very nice, most people love him and call him the life of the party. He has a lot of friends and he is one a very skilled miner and teaches a lot of the other dwarves how to mine like him.

Biography: Azgrim was born in a small underground village of about 15 people. Whenever he was born his mother looked at him and noticed he had grey eyes. She thought it was strange and showed it to Azgrim's father. He was confused, nobody knew what it meant. Everyone in his village looked at him funny in his village and called him nicknames like pebble eyes. His father believed that Azgrim's eyes were a sign, and that Azgrim was special. Azgrim became tired of his people and asked his father for help. Azgrim's father agreed to help him and taught him everything he knew, How to fight and how to cook. Azgrim wasn't the best at cooking but as soon as he used an axe to kill something for the first time his whole village knew that he was a warrior. He became the best warrior in the whole village and instead of being made fun of people looked up to him.

One day his father took Azgrim with him to buy supplies from the outside world. Azgrim was carrying his axe with him so that he could guard his father from danger. His father let him carry it because he didn't expect them to run into danger, he was wrong. While they were walking, 3 bandits surrounded Azgrim and his father. They demanded money but they didn't have much to offer. Azgrim looked around at the bandits and pulled out his axe. The bandits laughed and thought a small teenage dwarf wouldn't be able to do much but Azgrim killed all of them so fast that his father was terrified. Azgrim's whole village became so scared of Azgrim that they banished him. Azgrim didn't know how to live on the outside world. He was worried at first but he set up a tent in a forest and learned to gather wood. Every once in a while an adventurer would stay at his camp and they would talk. Once though a legendary warrior came and told about the adventures he's been on. Azgrim has wanted to be just like that warrior since then.

Your characters ambitions: My characters ambitions are to become the leader of a guild that involves melee combat.

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?

The first thing I would do is look at what kind of weapons and armor the bandits had. If I had better equipment then I would charge them with an axe. If they didn't start running then I would cut both of their heads off.

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? "Hello lad, I'd like to know if ya had a gold axe and some food. I seem to be runnin' low on supplies."

Other Information: This is the 3rd time I've made this application and I improved a lot of stuff. Please don't make me do it again. D:

Your application has been:

But don't loose hope! After two days you can re-apply which gives you plenty of time to fix up your application and plan it out, as well as use all the advice I am about to give you to make it spot on. Also check out the links at the bottom of this page, trust me they really help.

Your definition of powergaming is only partly correct, but there is more to it then that and it doesn't just relate to "mechanics". Do some research and read the links at the bottom of this post and I am sure you will understand then.

Your biography contains traces of powergaming, I quote: "Azgrim killed all of them so fast that his father was terrified". A teenage dwarf would not be able to just kill 3 fully grown male humans, it just wouldn't happen. Even the most skilled warrior in Lord of the Craft would struggle with 3 people. I would also love for you to include some of the lore of aegis into your application, you can find all the lore of aegis in the wiki link at the bottom of this thread.

would like to see at least a PARAGRAPH for each role-play question and make sure for the combat question you abide by the rules of combat for the server. In role-play you will need to warn a villain before engaging in combat. At least a couple of lines from each person is needed for combat to initiate or it is considered a no-rp kill and you can get banned on the server for it. Do not just write:

I suddenly pull out my sword and kill the bandits. Then I ask the elf for money for helping him.

Write a dialogue as well as the actions of all those involved. This goes as well for the shop question, do not just write a single line, write a full scene. Write the actions of all involved in the situation and what they say, how they interact with each other.

I want to see how good you REALLY ARE at RPing and I want you to try as hard as you can when answering these questions.

Do not post another application within 2 days or that application will be skipped.

If you need any help don’t be afraid to send me a PM on the forums.

Good luck :)
