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

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

Artofon was an orphan his whole life. He grew up on the streets of Al' Kahzar begging for food at age 5. Then at age 10, he bacme a thief. His skill in pick pocketing was amazing.

He only did this to survive in life, not to be greedy. But one time he got caught by a gaurd while pick pocketing a civillian at age 15. He was sentenced a year in jail but got out in two days. He took the key off of a passing gaurd and waited until nite to unlock his cell. He snuck out through a window left open by a drunk gaurd. After that he had a high bounty bounty on his head and he ran away for miles. His goal was to go to his hometown in Al' Khazar so far from the jail they wouldnt know about the bounty. Well he was wrong. In fact everyone knew about him so he had to change his identity. His fake name was Rothaga JuliasIII. But they still had his picture up on posters. Soon after he went in a shop, some gaurds were waiting for him outside. Luckily, a loud strike of thunder errupted in the sky and distracted the gaurds while Artofon escaped the group. Now artofon spends the rest of his time running from a bounty, bounty hunters, gaurds, and his past thug life; trying to make his life easier.

Your characters ambitions:

To escape his bounty of 500 diamonds, bounty hunters, gaurds, and his past.

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?

"Put him down now." Artofon says as he approaches the bandits. "What will ye do if we dont?"

"I'll slice you in two and put you six feet under!" Artofon replies as he unsheaths his dagger and sword. "Okay, Okay, just dont kill us!" the bandits cried as they fleed. Then Artofon helped the elf up and left without a trace.

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'm here for an invisible potion." says Artofon. "Sorry lad, but we ran out a week ago." replies the shop owner. "oh, well thanks for the services anyway." Artofon replies. Then Artofon leaves a coin purse with a 100 gold tip in it and leaves the shop.

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.

While your definition of roleplaying is correct, it is not asking what roleplaying is on the context of a minecraft server, but in general. You might want to edit that definition so it covers a broader sense of the term.

Both your definitions for meta-gaming and power-gaming are incorrect or unclear, please do a google search and find out what these terms mean as they are very big problems on this server and when people are caught practising these things they will get banned.

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.

While your biography is interesting, it contains villanious content. Currently your character does not have a bounty on its head, and all of the major human towns have been destroyed by the undead. It might be smart to edit your biography to say perhaps his evil deeds were forgotten because of the recent undead attacks. Also you have not given your characters age, appearance or personality like the question asked.

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 :)
