[Shaeth 3]

Out-Of-Character:

Minecraft Account Name:

Schwaertz

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

I did not, for I live in NL..

How old are you?:

I am now 24 years of age :).

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:

GMT+1. Europe, The Netherlands

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

I have a good enough grip on the english language to make proper sentences! It could use improvement, but I think I am good enough at it, to RP decently.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

My name's Mario. I am 24 years of age, as said before. I live in the Netherlands, and was born and raised there also. I work as a tiles layer. Have my own bussiness in it with my father. In my spare time I like to game. RPGs to be exact. I love RPing, and that is the main reason i applied here!

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

I can be on for approx. 3-4 hours a day. Give and take a few. In weekends I can be on more. So I'd say 20-25 hours weekly..

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

RPing... To me it means playing a character you've always wanted to be. I've always been fond of Medieval movies and books, and I love to imagine pictures with books I read. It's using your imagination to create a world you'd live in. Playing out your character's life bit by bit.

I've been RPing for quite some time now, having breaks to actually play games in between. But always keeping it in shape. The pleasure you get from events you participate in are what I love about RPing, and the actual Growth of your character.

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

Powergaming:

Powergamers tend to do things that are 'Godlike' in the RP world. You cannot just slash open your enemy, without giving them the time to react to the situation. RPing is all about Action-Reaction. If you disturb that balance, you Sir are Powergaming.

Metagaming:

Letting your character know things he could not possible know. If I read on the forums that the guy I came across has a scar on his back, I would not know that IC. It's bringing Out of Character details into In Character world.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I expect nothing, I just hope this server gives me all the fun that a real RP server should give. I wish to have a few raids with my IC friends/allies, and enjoy the life I get in the game. Hopefully make a friend or more.. I -expect- however, that people are decent RPers here, and not little children that destroy the fun of it..

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

I've played a few RP servers, but most of them are near dead. No one online, or just 1 or 2. I want a massive server, with 10 people online per Faction. I want events, and fun RPs. I do not want to run around for 2 hours, not seeing a single soul..

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

I have, and I understand them quite well.

How did you hear about us?:

I saw the vids on YouTube, and figured this might be the server I have looked for.

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

I have and I was 454 :P.

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

Shaeth

In-Character:

Character Name:

Shaeth Ashborne

What is your Race?:

Elf

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

Age:

He is approx 127 in Elven years, but has the looks of a 18 years old in human years.

Appearance

His azure blue hair seems to glow when the warmth of sunlight touches it. He's a bit taller than your average human, with his 2,10m. People often tend to think he's shorter, because he always walks with his shoulders hanging, and his knees a bit bent. But that pose got burned in, from when he was still young.

The little rascal always hanged around in the woods, trying to make himself unseenable for the eye. Swift and stealthy passing by while staying in low profile.

He wears a large cloak, the hood always hanging. He doesn't like being mysterious, eventhough he carries a mysterious presence with him. Jesters, Bards and Minstrels always had that kind of presence, people can't judge what kind of persons they are, and Asch loves the fact that people can't seem to place him. "It's better to hold people off, when you're traveling so much..".

Personality:

Cheerful, always laughing. Shaeth loves to fool around, and tries his best to make people laugh aswell. He's your typical Jester, and always manages to make people's day brighter than it is. Do -NOT- get on his bad side though, he tends to make your life horrible if you do.

Background:

Not going into too much detail, Shaeth has had a great youth. He was taught the ways of the Flute by his uncle and closest friend, Viegh(Weak/Veak) Ashborne. He did not know his parents, but heard they were two angels. His mother died giving birth to Asch, and his dad died soon after. He couldn't live with the fact of being alone, without his beloved wife next to him, and jumped off a cliff. Only a note was left to his Brother, with his nephew in a basket.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Viegh, I am sorry to give you this burden, but as I am now, I cannot give this wonderful child the love and caring that he needs.

When looking at him, I look at Varna (Shaeth's mother), knowing she won't ever see her beautiful son, and husband again. My heart tears in piece everytime I see him, and I do not want to live without Varna anymore. I've decided to join her in the afterlife, and await your arrivals.

Much love, and farewell,

Your Brother

Ethraziel.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shaeth used to read the letter over and over, confused about and doubting the love of his father. Viegh would always comfort him, cheering him up to look forward, and never look back.

As years passed by, Viegh and Shaeth would travel from town to town, performing wherever they could. In the spare time they had, Shaeth would be taught more about being a Minstrel, and the ways of a Duelist. Viegh made a Flute for Shaeth out of Dwarven steel, known to be able to break swords, if parried right. They practiced as much as they could, knowing there would be a time Shaeth would have to bring those lessons to reality eventually.

The day came when Shaeth and Viegh were passing through a thickly grown, dark forest. They were attacked by bandits, and Viegh did his best to protect Shaeth. Shaeth himself managed quite remarkable, being it his first actual combat experience. He fend off the strikes of 2 ambushers using both his Flute and Gladius, while making a whirlwind kind of turn. Being brought out of balance by this trick, one of the bandits showed a large opening, and Shaeth did not hesitate once to slip his Gladius deep inside the bandit's liver. As the blade was pulled out again swiftly, the bandit collapsed to the ground, and began chokin in his own blood.

The second bandit, seeing what happened to his comrade, became frightened, and as he turned to Shaeth again, his face turned pale. The boy had a grin on his face, as if a devil had taken control of him. The heat of battle had awakened a fearsome force, and without pausing after his attack Shaeth dashed in for the second bandit. -Kill the bastard, I must kill this criminal!- went through Asch's head.

Not giving the bandit any time to put the whole situation into perspective, Shaeth swinged his Flute towards the bandit's head, who on his turn raised his sword to repel it the impact, not knowing it was the flute that was raised. With accurate and smooth movement Shaeth disrupted the slash of his Flute, kneeled down a bit and shoved his Gladius in his attacker's throat, piercing it and pushing the bandit back on the ground.

Viegh, who fought off the remaining attackers, appeared behind Shaeth and put a hand of Shaeth's shoulder. "It's over son, we got them all..." As Shaeth turned around towards his uncle, Viegh shrunk together. His hand reached for his side, and blood came leaking on his shirt. It was then Shaeth realized the urge of it. "Uncle! Hang in there.." he softly said, while bowing down towards his wounded, sole remaining family. "You'll be alright! Just stay with me" he whispered, while grabbing his uncle's hand. But his words were futile. His uncle's lifeforce drained drastically, and nothing Shaeth did would save his beloved 'Father'.

"Be strong, and give this old man a decent farewell!" His uncle said, having a warm smile on his face. His time had come, but he was so proud of his nephew, his son, his dearest friend. "You did excellent Shaeth, You made me proud!". "Don't remember this sad moment, think of the times we spent together, and live on!" were the last words that came out of Viegh. His head falling to the side after, Shaeth knew he had lost everything. He was alone.

- 5 Years later -

-Song--

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~There once was a bloke named Viegh, often was said to be weak.~

~But he sliced and diced his foes to the ground, leaving the smell of iron to reek.~

~Old and grey, young and strong. Not a man that stood in his way.~

~'Cause they all were scared and **** their pants, when Viegh had something to say.~

~Old man Viegh, one to be feared, when playing and singing a song.~

~He passed away, with honour and might. Always right, and never wrong.~

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A sad face covered the Minstrel, who continued his song with a symphony on his Flute, in a crowded bar.

"Hey lad, play us a happy song will 'ya!" a man shouted from behind the bar, possibly the owner of the cavern. The Minstrel looked up, Visibly offended by what the man just said. "I will, don't you worry gramps" he replied, insulting the cavernkeeper for being so rude.

"Ladies and gents, the name's Shaeth and I will be your host tonight!" He introduced himself, with the same smile on his face like always. "Who's going to be the first to buy the host a drink?" He then said, smirking. Several people started to raise their hands to order a drink, and Shaeth knew it were to be a great night.

Your characters ambitions:

To have his songs heard all across the land, to find a place to call home, and to be joined by companions he loved and finds trustworthy. Shaeth loves adventure, and has been wandering the world for many years now, seeing things some could not deem possible. He wants to be the best known Minstrel in 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?

Shaeth is a loyal one, he would not hesitate to jump in the fray, asking the bandits why they're attacking the elf. He does not like to resolve to violence, but cannot watch as one of his kind is being assaulted. A brother in trouble is not a good thing to overlook, and Shaeth would feel ashamed if he would not help out, trying to talk them out of the situation.

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?

"Greetings dear Sir" Shaeth would say, making a polite little bow as he finished his sentence. "I was wondering if I could have a look at what you have in store, if that's alright with you.." He'd then ask the Shop owner, staying kind and respectable towards the fine lad.
