What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.: I know roleplaying is a way to become a different person, to play someone else as that character. I understand that the traits of myself are not those I should be acting out in the game.

In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. meta gaming i believe is when you use information in rp that your character did not see or hear about e.g. going to a base on purpose when you don't know where it is in r.p., Powergaming is when you ignore all storyline and rp and just focus on an objective like just walking into a base ignoring the guards and taking an item

"little boy: can i ask you a few questions i want to become an adventurer but i don't know what i must do, could you help?"

"me: sure ask away"

(little kid begins to ask questions"

Character Name: LTKiinG The Wanderer

What is your Race?: Human

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Since the age of 15, I travel on a lifelong journey for ancient relics and anything that will reveals the mysteries of this world, when i reached the age of 12 me and my friends decided to leave the village but due to having to face many a battle i nor any of my friends remebered the name (( i didn't know any village names)). there were once 5 of us but not all battles allow us to all leave as victors, i still remember how i had lost them all, kaltar dragonface was my best friend and he and me were the last to remain a creeper explosion caused the cliff to crumble and i never saw him again, that was the worst loss i ever experienced, then there were the other 3 they all died in the same battle i still remember their names, kalrag, natar & shitak they were my 3 oldest friends but on our simple journey to the kingdom of man we were ambushed by skeletons and they gave their lives so that me and kaltar could live, we didn't want to leave them but unfortunately they pushed us into a river which tides were too strong to swim back to help them, once again i do not know what happened. but i feel that is not what you asked little boy, as you can see i am 8 ft 6 which makes most travellers i pass wonder whether i was a tall human or something else, i also wear this sash which bares the blades of previous swords i lost, and as you can see my trousers are rumbled and red this is the price of fighting many a battle while being a nomad but never the less they serve me well, i am age 28 i believe but after us traveling for so long we lost any sense of time or year but we stayed healthy so we could not tell how old our body aged, i said that someone had messed with our water to make us age less the others thought it was just because we were very healthy, oh well it matters not for all i know i could be 28 or 56 i tend not to care, my personality is quite secretive but when i do i believe it would be important i would not answer questions like "what do you think of the weather" or do you like my new sword, armor or clothing" but let's get on to the other questions little boy because i don't want to waste too much of your time, as you may notice i have a deep scar in my eye but i don't pay it too much intention it no longer hurts physically but it has left a mental scar upon my mind of which i feel like no ancient relic or battle could ever fix.

Your characters ambitions: i believe my ambitions will reveal themselves as I wander the world of Asulon like most true adventurers would do; but my one standing ambition is to simply be a symbol for the weak to fight back and live their lives to the fullest which i assume is what you hope to do one day too.

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? I would assess the situation and then if then elf is in severe danger e.g. he loses his sword i will rush in hand the elf my spare sword (because it never hurts to be prepared) and help to fight of the bandits, but i would offer them a chance to surrender because the petty bandits may have had a more light hearted reason for their actions. but i believe there are also alternate ways to deal with this sutuation many i can think but i will simply finish this question with another example for if i am taller than them (if the bandits are young) i would simply walk up to them and pick up the kids by their torso's and ask them what they were doing, if they would surrender i would escort them to the nearest village give them a few minas and be on my way.

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? i would simply smile ask for any supplies i may need like stone or weaponry, hand over my money and if the stall doesn't look too busy i may spare a few minas to help him along the way

"little boy: thanks for answering questions sir *the kid smiles*

"me: no problem no run along and good luck with the future"

( we both head seperate ways to continue our journeys)

A screenshot of your skin:

(people kept telling me to change the screenshot but i didn't know any other ways to get a screenshot of my character)

Other Information: Looking forward to getting on the server if I am accepted. If not I must say, it looks amazing, and the effort going into this is astonishing. you may ignore the height size if you want i don't mind since you can't adjust size of minecraft guys anyway. also i hope you don't count adding rp to the questionnaire (the little boy asking questions) as something your not suppose to do

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.

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 don’t know if the server is worth your vote or not, log in to the server (IP: login.lordofthecraft.net) and walk about as a wandering soul.

Your current character name is not acceptable, please change it.

We would like you to include some lore from the world of Aegis and/or Asulon into your application such as names of towns and people, or even events which have happened before and your characters connection to the event.

For example you could write my character was born in the elven kingdom of . . . or near the human fort of . . .

Please do not post the tiny .png image as the screenshot of your skin as it is not a "screenshot". To take a screenshot and embed it into your post follow 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 :)
