Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): I am at age 23. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. When i was younger i use to live with my dad since my mum one night disappeared. My dad was a knight and learnt from him though my young age. When i once left for a walk i got lost and couldn't find my way back home so i decided to go solo. Explore the outside world to see what is out there. Fight the biggest of monsters to keep the world safe. When i was young my dad made me vow that i would never hurt a innocent person but slay the evil and if a innocent person needed help i would help them. He told me if anything happened to him when he was at war with these evil monsters that he would want me to be like him and defend the world from evil. I am a honest person who would never lie or break the lore. I am a fun person but am very careful of what i say or do. I am a loyal person who keeps his promises. I have a very anctious personality. Very willing. but can be funny at times. I like to have a laugh but i am very serious when it comes to fighting evil. I don't like villains because i don't like hurting other people. I think every person has a right to live. Unlike the undead. They are pure evil and i am ready to slay them all. If i ever come across villains or bandits i will leave them alone unless they are trying to steal or do anything to another person. I will scare them but will not kill unless they attack first.

Your characters ambitions: To protect the world from bad and monsters

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? Runs towards the two bandits and warn them off with a diamond sword. I would shout "Leave this poor elf alone or else!" If the bandits don't listen to me and slash there sword at me then i will fight back. I swore a vow never to let a innocent person get hurt or attacked in any way.

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 my good fellow but may i ask what goods you are selling today?

Denied.

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.

I really did enjoy reading your application, but the In Character section needs some work. All in all, you have improved quite a lot since your first and second applications, keep working it and you will be strolling around aegis in no time! :)

Please make sure you have voted as it is a requirement to join the server. The link to the website is here: http://www.minestatus.net/6317-the-lord-of-the-craft/vote

To find your vote number look at the total number of votes for this server. That number is your vote number. If you do not wish to vote because you havn't seen the server yet, you can login at either of these ip adresses:

login.lordofthecraft.net

69.162.76.50

and then wander around the world as a wandering soul, after that, you can vote. If you still do not want to vote, why join the server?

Please read the lore of the server (Go to www.lordofthecraft.net and click on "The History of Aegis" button. In here you will see explained all the possible races and their backgrounds, it is a requirement to read this you see. After you have read it, choose one of the races from there (keep in mind you cannot join as an ascended, undead, Aengul or Daemon.

Your biography needs some lore from Aegis (the world of Lord of the Craft) before I can accept you. It can be somthing as simple as Tom was born in the human kingdom of ... (and then write the name of the kingdom you wish to come from) and then include the names of the other kingdoms if Tom travelled. Or it can be so in depth as to include actual events which occured such as the Sanhar riots.

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.

Some words of encouragement: You are getting really close to being accepted dude. Seriously close :P But you just need to work on the points that I provided you with, if you follow what they say, you will be accepted spot on :)

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 :)
