Pengepi App No. 3

[Bawd 222]

Just to make clear, Repiteo denied my first two applications and hasn't stated whether or not my second incurred a waiting period. If so, at least tell me if I may copy and repost this application later. For more details, message me.

----------------------

Out-Of-Character:

Minecraft Account Name: Pengepi

Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?: No

How old are you?: 12

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: GMT/ Northern Ireland

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I have good grammar and a high vocabulary, so yes.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I have a genius IQ but no talent, musical or sport. I have roleplayed on other games but never minecraft.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: 7-20 hours, though this may vary.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.: Roleplaying is taking on one or more personae, usually for the purpose of enjoyment or immersion. If one meta- or power-games, it can ruin the experience of other players.

In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. Metagaming is gaining prior knowledge of events while OoC, and then using them IC to adjust your character's actions so that you will win, or survive, or anything like that. Powergaming is like godmodding, in which a player will pull off impossible feats like flying or summoning giant death armies, to give other players no way of fighting back.

What do you expect this server will be like?: A roleplay experience, similar to a cross between WoW and what Blizzard are trying to make Diablo III like, with an economy etc.

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

How did you hear about us?: I was browsing for Minecraft skins or mods or something, and I clicked a link that led to an old minecraft forum post.

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you? I voted but received no number. I only saw a #14, if that is any help but I think that may be the server's rank.

What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name?: Pengepi

In-Character:

Character Name: Pengepi

What is your Race?: Dwarf

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): As a baby, Pengepi was orphaned. He was found by a blacksmith in the wilds. The blacksmith saw that the child he had found had a scar on its cheek, which he found intriguing. The blacksmith took the boy back to his home, just at the edge of the wilds, and began to put up signs wherever he could and give posters to travelling merchants. After a year, when nobody had claimed the boy, the blacksmith decided to name him. He gave the boy a silver dagger with the 'Pengepi' engraved on the hilt. Three days later, the blacksmith was murdered. The bandits couldn't bring themselves to kill the child, but they couldn't leave any witnesses so they gagged Pengepi and tied him up inside their cart. They travelled by way of horse and cart for three days, before they brought the boy out. They raised him as a bandit, teaching him to fight, kill, rob and raid. The eldest man in the camp taught the boy to read and write, and another man taught him to make fires. All of the bandits wanted to make the boy like them, so he now has a basic knowledge of woodcutting, cooking, fishing and mining. No bandit needs to build much, so he is rather hopeless if asked to build. For the next twenty years he was raised as a bandit, before he found out what they had done to the old blacksmith decades earlier. In a rage, Pengepi used what they had taught him against them. He unsheathed his dagger, and gleefully slaughtered bandits as he set fire to their tents. He began to wander the wilderness, and has done since.

Your characters ambitions: To find if anyone knew his parents or the old blacksmith, but being raised by bandits corrupted him. He has an insatiable thirst for battle, and is overcome by greed at times, resulting in him attempting to rob houses, but usually failing.

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? Pengepi's hunger for battle overcomes him. He rushes at the bandits, and with the dagger he has carried for twenty years, brutally murders them. It is not enough. He begins to attack the elf. Before he realises what he is doing, the elf is unconscious. Pengepi flees in shame.

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? 'Thank you, sir, but I really must get going. Could you sharpen this dagger for me before I leave town? I'm going on a journey, you see. A long one. I'm going to discover what happened my family twenty-two years ago.'

Other Information: Pengepi has medium-long brown hair, though it is usually covered by his unique steel helmet that he found in the blacksmith's house after searching for months.

Please explain your understanding of what "Roleplaying is taking on one or more personae, usually for the purpose of enjoyment or immersion." Using a vocabulary that may be uncommon to many does prove understanding of concept.

You need an actual character name....pengepi is not a dwarven name...and is usually best if it is not your mc name

Your definition of powergaming is incorrect

"What do you expect this server will be like?: A roleplay experience, similar to a cross between WoW and what Blizzard are trying to make Diablo III like, with an economy etc."

this answer shows to me in regards to the above, that you do not understand what roleplay is

Your character can not start out with villainous traits, having such traits is a privelage, not a right, a hint would be that your parents do not need to be dead....

Please review the wiki, lore, guides, examples, and advice and reapply in 48hrs
