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

My character came from the faraway orc villages on the Eastern side of

Krugmar where he was born and raised. He didn't get to see his parents much with his dad always getting into fights and his mom working long hours as a merchant. As a young child he met a boy, who no one knows the name of now. The boy was the son of a human diplomat. Then one day his father and mother died. The next day his friends family moved away. He was sent to a orphanage. He then decided he would run away from the orphanage and grab his mothers goods from her work, and go on an adventure to spread his mothers goods everywhere and look for his friend. He will search every inch of the cities Malinor, Kal'Urguan, and the Kingdom of Urgen for his unknown childhood friend. You can tell Breyden from other orcs because he is much smaller and not as rough looking. Now you will see his adventure begin.

Your characters ambitions:

He is looking to travel the world and find valuable goods to become rich and to find his lost friend

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 definition for powergaming is incorrect or partially correct but not the definition we are looking for; 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.

Your biography is too short and needs some expansion. Please include the entire question when writing your biography such as your characters history, personality, description and age. With the description don’t just write He is tall and old and carries around a bow. There are a lot of tall, old people who carry around bows. Get descriptive, what is your hair colour? How long? Eye colour? Big eyes? Small eyes? Do you have wrinkles? Freckles? A mole? Etc. Also, if your character is good at swordsmanship, bows or even magic you need to explain in your biography why your character is so good in what it does and how it developed these skills.

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.

Please do not just give a link to the skin, but embed it into your application. You can do this by following this 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.

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 :)
