He ran away from home at the age of 15 which he is now. He first took up stealing but was caught and hasn't stolen since.

But he is now on a path to travel around the world and trade his goods. Now his real journey begins. You can tell who he is by looking at his ragged

clothes and his smooth personality.

My character is on this planet for one reason to travel and sell his goods.

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?

My character would draw his sword and kill them all one by one then take their goods, go make a profit, and buy a good meal

Your character walks up to a shop in a quiet market. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer?

My character would say " I've been traveling the world looking for goods to buy and sell have anything to offer?"

Your application has been:

But don't lose 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.

Your both your definitions for powergaming and metagaming are incorrect; to find out the correct definition you can do a google search, join our Team Speak channel and ask around or search for Powergaming on our wiki.

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, because you were the latest to vote, this number is your vote number. If you do not want to vote because you have not seen the server yet, join at server as a wandering soul in the ip of login.lordofthecraft.net and have a look. If you do not like what you see, don't vote and don't join.

Your biography needs some more work; You have not included the entire question, please answer the "appearance and personality" parts. Also we would like you to include some lore from the world of Aegis and/or Asulon such as names of towns and people, or even events which have happened before and your characters connection to the event. You can find all about the lore of Lord of the Craft here: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page For example you could write my character was born in the elven kingdom of … or near the human fort of …

I would like to see at least a PARAGRAPH for each role-play question and make sure for the combat question you abide by the rules of combat for the server. In role-play you will need to warn a villain before engaging in combat. At least a couple of lines from each person is needed for combat to initiate or it is considered a no-rp kill and you can get banned on the server for it. Do not just write:

I suddenly pull out my sword and kill the bandits. Then I ask the elf for money for helping him.

Write a dialogue as well as the actions of all those involved. This goes as well for the shop question, do not just write a single line, write a full scene. Write the actions of all involved in the situation and what they say, how they interact with each other.

I want to see how good you REALLY ARE at RPing and I want you to try as hard as you can when answering these questions.

If you need any help don’t be afraid to send me a PM on the forums.

Good luck :)
