Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?: I did not.

How old are you?: Fifteen.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: England.

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I like to think that I do, yes.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I wake up at around 6:30 in the morning, do an hour long paper round, then go to school and ‘learn’ until around 3:00, when I go home and roleplay for a bit to wind down. I play keyboard/drums/vocals in a band named Euphemistic Lemur, and we are currently planning to do some acoustic covers for Youtube.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Anywhere between 0 – 15 hours, it varies as my mother often takes my laptop and forgets to give it back.

What do you know about Roleplaying? What is it?: Roleplaying is where you essentially become a character and act as them in an in game situation, say if my character were being threatened by a mugger, instead of running forward with a diamond sword and beating the seven shades of **** out of them, I’d probably be scared, and possibly relinquish any money that I couldn’t hide on my person.

In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. Metagaming the use of information that has been learned out of character. Powergaming is where you have your character do things that would defy the laws of roleplay physics.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I played on a serious roleplaying server called Overture, but they sadly lost all but one of their admins and stopped the server, so I decided to join a new server.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes I have.

How did you hear about us?: Friends from another server mentioned this server (usernames merrymoogle, GavLan, Eternalfire61) so I looked it up.

Biography:

Lyssia was born in Oren. Her mother was a servant in the nearby castle, who had fallen in love with (and conceived a child with) a mercenary who had been protecting a caravan. When he heard of Lyssia's existence, he abandoned her heavily pregnant mother and left for home.

Lyssia was born a little later, and for the first few years of her life, was cared for by her mother. Her mother soon turned to drinking her pay away however, and venting her anger on her young daughter. Lyssia came to spend most of her spare time out of the house and away from her angry, alcoholic mother.

By her tenth birthday, she was working part time at an inn washing up beer mugs in a cramped back room with less pay than was necessary. To her credit, her mother never found out about this job, and never spent any of Lyssia's money (which went to food anyway, as her mother often forgot to feed her) on alcohol.

In her early teens, Lyssia found a better job at a farm just outside of town, where she helped look after farm animals in exchange for free food and a small amount of money to spend on herself. She took to this job well, and saved all of her spare money in a book in her bedroom. However, this saving of money was short lived, as her mother found it all one day, and spent it all on herself. Lyssia was furious, and left the house on the spot, promising to not come back until she could sort her mother out.

Over the next few years, Lyssia slept in a room in the inn, which she paid for with wages from being apprenticed to a local doctor and learning from his example. Her lot in life had improved since she had left, but the same could not be said for her mother, who Lyssia often saw wandering the streets, drunk out of her mind.

When Lyssia reached the age of 19, she found it difficult to often find her mother crashed in a ditch, sleeping off the effects of drink, so she made a few arrangements and used a few favours. Her mother was not allowed to deal with her own money from then, and the landlord took over, buying food and essentials for Lyssia’s mother, rather than letting her spend her money on drink.

Following this, Lyssia left Oren of her own accord to travel. Today, she commonly wears travelling clothing comprised of a shirt and trousers. She carries little jewellery on her person and is not overly keen on wearing any. She is often regarded as a little too kind to people, and other times, she can be perceived as an utter *****.

Your characters ambitions: To live a long and generally happy life, free from the sorrows that her mother had clung to.

Other Information: Lyssia hates spiders with a passion.

Denied.

Your application is good, but you are missing two questions, the open response questions. Add these in and you can reapply.

You can also expand a little on your definitions of metagaming and powergaming.

Voting every day wouldn't hurt either, but I bug people too much about this :rolleyes:

Remember to wait 48 hours before reapplying.
