Not very much to say. I would describe myself as a gamer that loves to write! I think Lord of the Craft is an amazing server. I hate raw cheese and like to play the guitar and sing along.

How much could you be on the server weekly:

A lot almost every day of the week!

What do you know about role playing? Describe of what it means to you:

Well, to me role playing is an interesting/amazing way to explore other characters' personalities other than mine. To create a character and experience events and situations that you had never explored before. In Lord of the Craft, role-playing would be to perform as a character created by me, I will take the role of the character I am creating.

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

Metagaming is a broad term mostly used to define any strategy,action or method used in a game.

Powergaming: Powergaming in role-playing games can take several forums. One form is the deliberate creation of optimal player characters (PCs), with the aim of maximizing the power the player wields in the game world by way of their avatar.

Other meanings

Metagaming: Using things your character couldn't know, and acting as he does, say someone was so-called "Horrible man" yet your character has never seen, nor heard of them, and instantly knowing that, without going through a process fit for your character. Then again going "You seem evil, you're a bandit" isn't really any better.

Powergaming: doing something unlike your character.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

Really fun.

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

Lazarus was born in the sands of the River Bruinen, in Rivendell, the retreat founded by Elrond around 5000 year ago. Lazarus was the only child. Lotunian, his father, was a writer, known by the whole territory and beyond, for documenting all the armory history since the Second Age. Her mother a musician and blacksmith. Yes, her mother, Dionisiania, felt a crazy passion towards archery. A tradition that her father, and the father of her father followed as a family obsession for centuries. Lazarus was 7 when he developed a special skill to design and make the most beautiful bows in the whole land of Rivendell and surroundings. He started to work in the family armory. After 10 years of hard work in the family armory and learning the use of the bow as no one else, at the age of 17, Lazarus left the peaceful and enchanting Rivendell, in search of a life of adventures. This was the first time Lazarus went beyond the Misty Mountains. Curiosity brought Lazarus to explore others work in armory as well as a lot of curiosity about knowing more about the hobbits. That took him to Hobbiton, to the River Running and the Brandywine River. Rivers were one more of Lazarus passions. And it is now when the adventure begins.

Lazarus has purple eyes, pale skin and blonde hair. He is now 19 and is ready to explore out into the unknowns. Lazarus loves to play the guitar, as his mother he inherited an ear for music. His favorite weapon is a bow he made in the armory. Lazarus is very violent for an elf, but he wont just kill someone. He will kill someone if he thinks they are a threat to himself or to allies.

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?:

Takes his bow out, takes cover behind the shelter. Pulls his arrow back aims at one of the bandits heads and lets go...

As blood drips from his head the other runs in fear.

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?:

Nothing is on my mind right now. I am looking for someone. Have you seen someone running away?

Two bandits were attacking an elf and I hurt one the other one got away.

A screen shot of your skin:

Other information:

Lazarus is looking for the a place to open a new armory. So, warriors have the opportunity to fight with beautiful and effective bows and swords.

Denied.

Your definition of powergaming isn't quite right. Yes, it's doing things that your character wouldn't do, but it's more along the lines of things your character can't do. You also have two definitions for metagaming and two for powergaming?

Your lore is different from the lore on this server. While there are many similarities between Lord of the Rings and Lord of the Craft, the lore is not the same. You will need to do some research and rewrite your biography.

You need more in your open response questions. Give more detail, and preferably some dialogue before you jump right into combat, as this show that you will not no-RP kill, which is against the rules. You must also show that you can roleplay and that you won't metagame or powergame.

You need to give a screenshot of your skin, not the skin texture.

Remember, you must wait 48 hours before reapplying.
