What is your Race?: Nimthor is a wood elf

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

Nimthor was son of two wood elves who had a hollowed out mountain as house close to the forest. When Nimthor was born 1341 years ago he wasn’t doing anything. But a white dove came down an layed a feather on his head, turning his blonde hear to snow white and “reviving” him. That is why he is called Nimthor: White Bird.

Nimthor spent most of his youth in the forest learning to use a bow, fighting with knives and the trick of hiding in the shadows. One day when he was out in the woods alone (He was 11) men came to the mountain and destroyed it by breaking a pillar in his house. The humans got out in time but Nimthor’s parents didn’t survive.

Crushed by this Nimthor started crying. He ate some raw porkchop he hunted that morning when a man came by and asked Nimthor to live with him. He lived 7 years in the mans house when he found out the man was the one who destroyed the mountain. He killed him and fled oren.

After years of surviving in the wild he came to a desert. Nimthor had never seen such a place and was intrigued by it’s environment. He stumbled upon the orc nation of Krugmar and lived with the orcs for hundreds of years. He fought for the orcs in a battle against the dwarves. He was the only one of his cohort to survive and went to Kal’Urguan to avenge his friends. When he got there he was invited in for some ale. He happily accepted and lived there for a week until he murdered 34 dwarves. He fled into the wilds where he lived a half life, descending to complete madness. He went to the Cloud temple of Aegis and prayed all day long to God. Finally he saw a white light and was cured of his madness. And no one in the world had a memory of the dangerous villain Nimthor, he thanked God one more time and started a new adventure in the world of aegis.

Nimthor is a 6,5 foot tall elf with a light skin, white hair and long pointy ears. He wears a silver laurel with gold and leaves in his hair and a green shirt with brown pants. He doesn’t have boots.

Your characters ambitions: Nimthors ambition is to have a home just like his parents had, a hollowed out mountain as a giant house. As a memory to a happier time in his life. In the house he wants a gigantic library to learn everything about the world. He also wants to be a great magician, putting the knowledge of the world in use.

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? Shoot a rain of arrows at the bandits, hide and when they come looking for me i stab them in the stomach. Weakening them so i can take them to the city.

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 would like some more arrows please. How much would that cost? Thank you, and here is ... minas.

Other Information: Do i need to install mods to play? If so which?

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.

You are almost there, but not quite.

First thing is, your biography seems a tad unrealistic and doesn't fit in with the lore of lord of the craft. I do like how you included the cities, but there are some issues with what you have written. First of all an 11 year old elf is an infant, equvilant to a toddler, or perhaps younger. I doubt your character would be in the woods alone at this age, perhaps an age closer to 100 or 150? (As 200 is considered not yet mature, about 17 years old)

Secondly your character cannot just "kill 35 dwarves", and I am doubtful your enemies would invite you into their capital city. Try to think of something a little more realistic.

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 :)
