Biography: DouserLight was born In a Elf village named Laurelin, He grew up climbing trees and shooting bows, after the age of 12 his father died of an illness and left DouserLight with his bow. His family and mainly his uncle who lived with them said it was the Dark Elves that poisend him during a Elvish feast when no one was looking so it was DouserLight's destiny to Kill the High leader of the Dark Elves, and so he journys out everyday to find the Dark Elves and he will keep searching and training to kill the High Dark Elf. When he isn't hunting the High dark elf he is climbing trees and exploring unknown forests. one day He found an ancient Gem and later discovered that it was a missing relic and returns it, and is rewarded with 10 diamond! A great prize. After exploring a few dungeons he soon encounters a camp of dark elves and leaves and returns with some elvish friends, they ambush the camp and DouserLight gets a hint on where the High Dark Elf is. Everyday he gets closer and closer on getting revenge on him, and this is still true to this very day.

Your characters ambitions: DouserLight wants to get revenge on the High Dark Elf who killed his father.

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? DouserLight draws his bow shoots the first bandit points his bow toward the other one and says "Leave now, Or face death."

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, Sir I am looking for a good quest to conquer and I seek Adventure! Can you help me seek these?"

Other Information: I'm excited for the Adventure and creativity this server has to offer and can't wait to get started. -READ- By the way, Alurid Dunn allowed me to reapply immediately due to wrong application format.

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 for roleplay could do with some work. Please do some research on the subject such as a google search or looking through the forums and then write what roleplaying means to you. Write more in-depth on the subject of roleplaying and what you do in it, where it is practised etc.

Your definition for metagaming is incorrect. Please do some research on the subject (such as a google search or looking through the forums) and post the correct definition in your next application.

Your biography contains lore which goes against that of Lord of the Craft. Please change your biography as the elves are not enemies of the dark elves. This shows that you obviously have not read the lore of the server, please read the lore of the server which can be found on the wiki (link at the bottom of this post) or in the lore section of the website or forums.

I 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 :)
