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

I am an ex-warrior of the North, I fought in many, many battles, some of which I have lost, I have scars along my back and legs to show. Most of the battles I fought in were just over stupid things, like a person not showing up to dinner, or a mailman not delivering an order in time. I was just a grunt in an army, doing whatever my lord asked me to do. Years after being in the militia, my superior had forced me to kill my own siblings to show my loyalty to the army, as I had commited a wrong, I ran from a battle that we had no hope of winning. I had to burn them whilst they slept. If I didn't do this, they would consider me a traitor, they would throw me out of their land, and have knights kill me with their swords, then they would kill my family, because they would be helping a traitor. I decided to burn them, as I would rather have three people die than four. After this incident, I have sworn to get revenge on the superior which had ruined my entire life, I had no home, I had to sleep in the small militia buildings they had, sleeping on hard stone. My superior is currently in hiding, as he has suspiction an attack on the town will ensue. While I waited for him to come out of hiding, I left the city in my own standing. I was a huntsman in a nearby town for a period of time, I killed animals, not only to feed myself,but to make a living by selling the raw meat. About a year I heard news my superior and several others, including the king, had been assasinated whilst they slept, they had it coming to them, I didn't even have to worry about getting my revenge anymore, so I sold my makeshift home, and all the rest of my meat and I sailed across the ocean with some friends I had made.

I have very short blonde hair, I am of medium build, I am tall amongst the humans, with a height of 7,1", I have many scars across my body and I havegennerally Ok looks, though my face is more tough than "cute".I am 31 years old, with lots of experience in battle, I also have some experience in fishing and cooking, as I have had to spent weeks in a jungle alone.

Your characters ambitions:

To become a strong mercenary

Join the Sulvan Militairy

Master the axe, allowing himself to understand the axe like the back of his hand

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?

He unsheaths his axe, rushing at the two bandits. He asks them to leave, if they don't he would atleast take out one of the bandits, he would then rush away calling for help and luring the bandit

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?

Rexaar would have a friendly conversation with the shop owner, he would then try to persuade the shop owner for a discount. If the shop owner disagrees, Rexaar would show him his buff muscles on his arms.

I really hope I could join this server, I have been playing WoW recently to practice my roleplaying skills, I must admit that I have improved.

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 contains things which just do not make any sense. First of all Battles generally are not fought over people not showing up to dinner or a mail man not delivering a package on time. In your biography you have not shown that you have read and understoof the lore of the server. 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,'>http://www.lordofthecraft.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page, or in the lore/history sections of the forum and website. 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.

Please embed the picture of your skin into your application. You can do so 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 :)
