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

Born into a family of Rogues and stealth specialist. Who all reside in the Kingdom of Oren. Kov was just what his parents wanted, a handsome dark haired child. Kov was born to a loving mother and father named Liandra and Knovect.Liandra and Knovect are both part of the E.S.S which stands for Elite Stealth Service which basically is the familly buisness.

Liandra and Knovect are the founders. Which has always amazed Kov. Kov quickly adapted to the life of a Rogue/Stealth specialist, he had the record breaking time for the longest to not be found in hide and go seek. 2 hours and 34 minutes.

At the age of 5 Kov got his first pair of E.S.S standard issue daggers which he took them everywhere, At 6 years old he started his training to join the family buisness. His father has his own training facility in thier house located at the Kingdom of Oren.

Kov was always outside adventuring and killing small game with his daggers and he always trained. It was his favorite pass time. At age 14 Kov was the best Rogue in the E.S.S,Not including his father and mother. Liandra and Knovect where so proud of him.

"I love you son,will be back tomorrow morning." says Liandra "I love you two buddy, dont be hunting small game till we get back." says Knovect. "Im tired of hunting small game, i want to do battles and stealth missions with you guys!" says Kov. "I know you do buddy, trust me it wont be long."

says Knovect."Ok, love you mom, love you dad, good luck on your mission" says Kov."Love you too" Both parents reply. The next day Kov wakes up to someone knocking on his house door. He opens the door to find a E.S.S Rogue, Known as Arfalath, His fathers best friend.

"Hey Arfalath, whats up?" says Kov. Arfalath says "Im so sorry Kov" and hands him two medallions, one saying Knovect and the other saying Liandra. Kov stares in horror as tears begin to roll down his face"No...no...NO NO NO!" now crying deeply over his parents death.

"They cant be what happened!" says Kov. "Thier mission was going as planned untill the leader of the Bandits attacked them with a never before seen power, Which killed them instantly. Im sorry Kov, Ill give ya some time alone, you know where i am if u need me".

Now alone and still crying over the death of his parents, His sudden sadness lit a spark, a spark full of Bloodthirsy rage and revenge.

Kov then searched for anything of his mother and father and he found a note saying "Dear Kov, I hope you find this after im gone. Your training is quite a succsess, and for that I want you to have something. go to the bookshelf and take out the book. "E.S.S Rules and Expectations".

Im sure what you'll find will please you. your uncle will take over E.S.S and you shall fullfill your own destiny. Kov then takes the book out and a secret hall opens up with a chest and inside was a leahter armor he has never seen before, it has a tanned leather with iron plating in some spots.

and a never before seen blade of his fathers that almost seemed to glow either day or night.

He knows this because of his father telling him about it. Two years later Kov is in a Bandit camp hiding taking a count of how many Bandits there are "Six Bandits, Hmph peice of cake" says Kov. He takes out 2 of the Bandits then runs back into the woods.

Now the Bandits on alert he comes in again for another attack. After a few minutes of intense fighting Kov comes out on top and takes out the rest of the Bandits. "Nice work, you attack just like your parents".

Kov then feels a sharp pain and then passes out. He wakes up in a prison cell hearing the screaming of civillians and then the wall blows up behind him, he hurrys up and escapes the prison he notices all the civillians running and an unknown species to him.

A Bandit comes up to him and hands him his gear. "Hurry up we need your help" says the bandit. "Whats going on!!!" says Kov. "We have been attacked by the nether, they are all around Aegis!, we need you to defend while the boat comes in!"says the Bandit. "Ok ill help" says Kov.

Now in battle position he starts to slay the foes from the nether. Moments later he hears the Bandit say "Lets go lets go!, the ships here!" "Where are we going!?" says Kov. "A new continent called Asulon, comon lets go!" says the Bandit in a hurry. As Kov runs to the ship he whispers to himself "Goodbye Aegis,I wont forget you".

Your characters ambitions:

Kov's ambitions is to win battles, and take out his foes silently and unseen

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?

After a day of hunting for some porkchop for that nights dinner. Kov notices an elf fighting the two bandits for dear life. As Kov watches, He turns into a complete stealth warmachine. With his blade at the ready he silently walks through the trees.

Now the Bandits backs facing Kov, The elf notices Kov in stealth. Kov replys with one finger over his mouth, Making sure the elf will stay quiet.Kov sneaks up to one of the bandits and slices the Bandit in the back. The Bandit turns and swings his blade. Kov dodges the swing just in time.

"Thanks for the help" says the elf during combat. "Dont sweat it" Replys Kov. The elf then stabs the first bandit in the back. The second bandit then slices the elf in the chest."Are you ok!" says Kov while killing the last Bandit. "Ya I think i a..AGGHH" says the elf in pain. "Come on lets get you inside.

serveral hours later the elf is bandaged and rested. "Thanks for helping me out, i would have been dead if you wouldint have come along". "No problem, always glad to help a friend of my race, your fighting skills are quite impressive. Would you like to join me while i get revenge on the Bandits for killing my parents".

"I would love to. But i have other buisness to attend to" says the elf. "Ok well if your ok i shall be on my way". says Kov. "Im ok, thank you for the help again" replys the elf. "Your welcome. goodbye now". Then Kov leaves and continues his journey.

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 "Why Hello there kind sir I was wondering if you have any arrows"says Kov. "Why yes we do, how many would you like?"says the marchant. "I would like 100 please"says kov.. "Very well, that will be 150 minas"says the merchant. "Here ya go" Kov says ".

"There ya go, have a good day now" says the merchant. "You too, Thank you"

Or if i am not purchasing anyhting i would say "Why hello,just stopping by while adventuring through the world of Asulon!"

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.

Powergaming isn't "Not giv[ing] the other person enough time to react" but it is really close, luckily for you there are plenty of ways to be able to find out the correct definition. First of all you can look on the lord of the craft wiki and then search for "Powergaming", you can join our Team Speak channel (You can get Team Speak from http://teamspeak.com/?page=downloads ), or you can do a Google search.

Your character is far to powerful in your biography, it would not make sense for your character to take out 2 bandits at once, then another 4 later on. You really need to change this part of the story because it does not make sense.

It you go in game up to a group of 6 bandits, you will be SLAUGHTERED. If you write, "Runs up and slashes two bandits throats" they will call you a powergamer. Come up with a more realistic thing.

Also, you cannot just "Escape a Prison", that is also powergaming. Unless you had some skill in lock picking AND had a lock pick, you would not be able to do this.

Your character cannot become a "Complete Stealth Warmachine". He can attempt to creep up on someone, but there is always the chance you would step on a twig or make a little to much noise and be noticed. Even if you did have a lot of years of training, it is still too powerful for you to start off being "Unnoticeable".

You have also broken the "No-RP kill" law. You must first RP something out before going into combat, such as calling out to the bandits and telling them if they do not stop, they will be attacked by you.

Try to be original in your application, there are so many people whose parents have been killed by Orcs or Bandits and are looking for revenge. Be unique! Have your parents still alive or die of old age! It is your choice, by try to be original.

Do not post another application within 2 days or that application will be skipped.

Please do send a PM my way if you are having any trouble understanding the application process or my feedback, I would be glad to help you. :)

Good luck for your next application!
