Minecraft Account Name:

Hieya

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

No.

How old are you?:

22 years.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:

CST / Illinois, USA

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

I do, yes.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

I currently go to full sail university and i'm at my fourth year and about to graduate! I have my own house, job, wife and 2 kids. I get in trouble from my wife for being on so much so i try to get some time during the days with my family. But that won't stop me from playing atleast 10 hours a day!

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

Honestly, that will change every week. Some weeks I may have several hours of availability; some weeks I may barely be able to log in.

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

Roleplaying is acting. Online roleplaying is a cross between acting and writing. You create a character that follows the rules of a world and you become the character. If done correctly, a roleplayer creates a believable character with his/her own worldview, his/her own quirks and personality, his/her own desires and goals as well as vices and hindrances. You create a new identity, basically, and by your own ability and the immersion offered by the game/world/server, you do your best to take up every aspect of the character while your own personality and worldview take a backseat, allowing the character to live his own life in a fluid manner.

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

Metagaming is a failure to roleplay correctly. It's when you use your own personal knowledge to assist your character, or using one of your characters' knowledge to benefit another one of your characters. Basically, it's you, who are outside of the game, cheating for the gain of your character, who is inside the game.

Powergaming is somewhat related to metagaming in that outside knowledge (or knowledge that you have, but your character lacks) is employed for your character's benefit. When skills are involved in a roleplaying game, powergaming is the effort used to grind through those levels as fast as possible in order to maximize them. So, in Minecraft terms, you'd be powergaming if you spent long hours purely trying to gather materials/money without roleplaying, or gathering resources/money in a manner that wouldn't fit your character.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I really hope its a nice, and awsome Role-playing, Med-Eval server! I hope it will be like no other and be able to fro once have actually fellow Role-Players and no grifers or random people destryoing my stuff, but now i can relax and enjoy Role-Playing with friends!

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

If we're talking strictly Minecraft servers, I've only played (or rather, attempted to play) on one: Tales of Mel-Lenxia. I joined the community long after its glory days, and just a few weeks after I began playing, the "end" of the server was announced. The forums pointed me here, so here I am!

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

Yes, I have.

How did you hear about us?:

I saw a Youtube video about this server.

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

I did. After I voted, the vote number was 889, so I assume that that's my number.

My log in name is Hieya but i want it to be Elraen. (As my forum account name is.

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

Elraen was a Dwarf from a land he does not rember. Elraen doesnt know much about his past at all besides his name and his is struggling to discover his Surename to a hint of his past. all he knows he is decent with an iron blade an can not use any fancy Sword such as Golden or Dimaond.An he is very fond of magic and loves to fiddle with it. Not Rembering who he is a bit shy around huge crowds and usal will tend to keep to himself unless he meets somone he keep really trust.

Elraen awoke under a tree somewher in the forrets not know who he was, were he came from or what he was supposed to do in his lifetime. He looked around gripping a Stone Shortsword in its sheath. And looked at his Amulet and stuided it curiously and saw his name on it "Elraen." With that knowledge he started to walk thruogh the woods and stumbled upon a road and followed it. On his way he saw a Half Elven lookin noble type. He apporched the man and asked him where he was at and were this road led to. The Man interduced himself as Braxis Silverblade and say "well Lad ye are in the land called Agies and he was heading town towards the City of Laulrien in the Hideen Mountians. Elraen an Braxis walked into laurlien and into the Dawns bakery there. Braxis explained a bit about Agies and the recent events, Such as the Fall of Alras, Galahar being attcked by a genoicdal group, and the normal choas of Ageis, Elraen was just nodding his head listeing. When Elraen was about to ask braxis one last question a bird with a letter on its leg for braxis. Braxis Sighed heavly and said "Well I have to go me town of Galahar is in trouble again sorry to leave Elraen but if i dont depart th nether will break lose" *Braxis walks out* *Elraen just nodded and smiled and said as Braxis was walkin towards the door "Thanks for ye help i will wonder around now an guess find out more about myself" *With that said Fan'gor left after Braxis an wonderd what to do next.

Your characters ambitions:

Elraen, always wanted to be able to mine, and have the intelligents like his father, but all was worse once his fathers death came upon us. Elraen would sit in his bed, holding a picture of his father, staring upon his hazel eyes, promissing he would revenge his death

Elraen always dreamed of his fathers pick, made out of full diamond, yet, nothing was left with his body but a ring, which was passed down from my fathers father. Maybe someday i will have my own...

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?

As Elraen has been tought for the only few years he had with his father, to stay out of trouble. But this was his only chance to prove to his mother that he could withstand the responsibilty of the house. Elraen, charging with his axe, then stopped, and thought, his father was yet killed and he did not want the same fate. Elraen then hides behind a birch tree, awaiting fro the bandits to pass. The next thing Elraen knew, his uncle blew his cover. 'ELRAEN, WHERE ARE YOU, DINNERS READY!". The bandits looked at Elraen and charged. Elraen withdrew his axe and charged. Elraen flew between the 2 bandits, sliced them both in there sides. The 3rd one approached, Elraen withdrew his dagger, and threw it at the bandits head, it struct the bandit. With victory, he took the loot and ran back home.

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?

"Ho, shopkeep. D'you carry any bonemeal? The crop is shy this season, and I fear I may go under if not for some of that gray succor!"

A screenshot of your skin:

Its a basic meaty Dwarf, with a white silky shirt and chainmail skirt. Red hair and red beared. I do not exactly know how to put the image here, but if you would like a screensnpr link i can provide that!

Other Information:

Not sure if I can think of anything just this moment, but if you'd like more information, don't hesitate to ask!

PRESENT AGE, APPEARANCE, PERSONALITY: Elraen has lived three decades, but his countenance makes him appear older. His hair is already graying and he dresses himself humbly. He stands halfway between five and six feet tall and doesn't much stand out. Though quiet, he is still friendly, though a bit distant.

Other Comments:

Sadly, your biography is not current with the server's lore. Middle Earth is not the world you live upon.

Look upon the website's 'History of Aegis' and repost the application after you have read it.

On another hand, your entire application was pretty well structured.

Good luck on your next application.

Private Message me when you have edited your application to the needs of the server. Simply use the 'edit' command on the bottom of your post.

You come to Aegis to Develop a Character, not have one Developed already

Just because you play RPG's, doesn't mean you have RPed before.

Don't post another application in a period of two (2) days. It ruins our organisation methods.

Your revised application is much better in the biography department.

Welcome to Aegis.

Please be patient, your application must be promoted by a GM. This may take a while. If you have any questions/concerns, send a Private Message!
