Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Gilbert was born in a small nameless village.Gilbert's family was a poor but happy family, at the age of 6 his father left the small run down village in seek of work and a better life style. Gilbert's mother always told him that his father would return and that they would be richer than he could even imagine, by the age of 8 Gilbert knew that his good for nothing father was either dead or was living the good life with out him and his mother.When Gilbert turned 10 he decided that he would train his skills with a sword so he could protect him self when he finally left this life that he despised so much to make his fortune, so he found some old sticks and put together a wooden sword so he could start practising.By the age of 14 his family was still just getting by and Gilbert's mother had suddenly come down with a illness so he had to stop his sword practices to work the field were he learned how to grow crops and melons.Just before his 15th birthday his mother died so with nothing holding him to this run down village he packed his things and left for fame and fortune however that didn't go to well for him, Gilbert had travelled to the capital in look of work and a place to make his name but no one wanted such a young and inexperienced kid to work for them. This annoyed Gilbert so he decided to put his sword skills to use and hunt creatures until a proper working age, this type of work took Gilbert place to place. Finally he was 18 and at the working age, so he went back to the city for work once again and the same as last time no one would accept such a scary looking man, he had dark shoulder length hair , pale white skin blue eyes and stood at a height of 6,4foot with a scar across his face from fighting animals this discouraged most people to even look him in the eye, the one man that spoke to him gave him a tip that , a city in a distance land towards the east , were recruiting guards as long as you could handle a weapon. So Gilbert set out in search for the city to make is fame and fortune.

Your characters ambitions:

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?

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 application is almost there, but it still is in need of some improvement.

I would like you to work on structuring your biography so that it doesn't look like a clump of text, as that makes it really hard for us application team members to read and under stand it. The grammar of your application could also do with some imrpovement, I reccomend this website here: www.spellcheckplus.com All you have to do is copy/paste your application into the text box and press check, it will then explain to you all of your mistakes and how to fix them.

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 you to embed the screenshot of your skin into your application. If you do not know how to do this just 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 :)
