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

Estoladan is a wood elf with dark green hair and a tan skin color. He was raised in the middle of the woods with just his mother and father. Both his parents were killed when he was 10 by orks. They were traveling to a city to trade when orcs came out of nowhere and killed them and stole their stuff. He took their deaths hard but managed to raise himself. During the time his parents were killed there was a treaty betwwen the orcs and elves and if was mad they broke this treaty. He tried to tell other elves about that the orcs had broken the treaty but no one listened to him, they all said you are a kid you don’t know what you’re talking about. So he retreated back to the forest to live alone. He became one with nature. He believes that He respects the earth and wants everyone to. The elves most respect the forest for it was blest as a place of paece in their lore. He has a special hatred towards orks for killing his parents and wishes that they were all dead. He believes that his parents died in vain and will not have a happy after life until he avenges them. He is a little unsocial because of never growing up around any one. He is very smart and as a child created his own language. He tried to spread his language through the elven race but it never took off. He doesn’t usually stay in one place for very long. Whenever there is war he is glad to join and has in the past. He is very good with a bow and arrow. When he was 17 he attacked a small ork village trying to avenge his parents. He was then captured by orks from a neighboring town. He was captured for a year until he escaped by tricking a guard. He tried to get a group of elves together to attack the orks again but they all bailed on him. He is very fond of the arts and is a big supporter of it. He doesn’t like to depend on people so he mostly just depends on himself. He also has a hard time trusting people. He is found of the human race and thinks they would make good allies. In all he is a good person who just hates orks.

Your characters ambitions:

His number one goal is to have revenge on the orks. He doesn’t know how to do this though because he finds it cruel to kill innocent orcs. He also wants to spread his language throughout the lands. He at least wants it be recognized as a language. He also wishes to live a long life. Finally he wishes to give back to nature for letting him live in its forest for most of his life.

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?

Me “Excuse me is there a problem here?” Bandits “No and get on your way.” Me “I wasn’t talking to you.” Elf getting robbed “nnnno there is is nothing ing wrong ong.” Me “How about this ill give you two each 15 minas if you leave.” Bandits “sounds like a plan.” Me “Now leave”

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?

“Greetings, I have been to at least five different stores and they were all so expensive! Please tell me you have a reasonable price on saplings?” Storekeeper “I only have the best prices in the city 5 minas for a sapling!” Me “5 Minas are you crazy old man?! I would rather get a sapling myself in the forest!” Storekeeper “Then do it.” Me “Fine 3 Minas.” Storekeeper “Four and it’s a deal.” Me “Fine, 3 minas what has the world come to leave?” leaves and slams the door behind him.

I apologise, but you did not await the full 2 days that was requested of you.

Also you need to upload/embed a skin to be able to be accepted into the server, it is a requirement because we need to check whether the skin is acceptable for RP in the timezone/fantasy setting which this server is set in.

To embed a picture of your skin use the following tutorial:

1. Go in-game and press the “F5” button TWICE. (Not once as this will show the back of your character)

2. Take a screen shot by pressing the "PrntScr" button on a windows computer or press F2 on the keyboard, then go to start => Run and type in this: %appdata%/.minecraft/screenshots

3. Find the screenshot and open it in an image manipulation program such as Paint or Gimp.4. Crop the image so that only the area close to your skin (including the skin) remains.

5. Save the file and go to tinypic.com

6. Upload the file

7. Click ONCE on the text box underneath: "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards"

8. Right click and copy the entire text

9. Paste in your new application

*Note* If you want a tutorial for Macs, please send me a message on the forums.

And I would like to repeat: 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 :)
