Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Gro'mash lived in a small quaint town called Ablested. He lived normally like any other orc should however there was one problem. He was the only orc. Many people taunted and teased him to the point of rage. One day after working in the fields he found himself a large sword threatened anyone who went in their way to bother him. One of the human guards sliced his arm without any reason. Gro'mash shouted and swung the sword. It killed the guard due to the Orc's strength. Gro'mash quickly fled after that brutal event in town. After news of this he became wanted and fled to other lands. While hiding in his newly found tree home he was ambushed by the king's men and struggled to fight off the guards. Then out of the blue his closest friend, Narshtag appeared riding his horse. Narshtag collided into the guards stunning them all but his horse was finsihed. They stood side by side and defeating the guards. Gro'mash said his thanks and fled. Gro'mash continued to life out following the lands until he found Asulon. Gro'mash is 16 and has olive green skin. Unlike most orcs he has long tusks protruding downward from his mouth and intimidates his foes. He is normally friendly around other orcs but hates humans due to their unkindness to him. His best friend Narshtag has recently also moved to Asulon and planning to battle side by side.

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? Gro'mash leaps into battle and tries to the support the elf. If he succeeds he would quickly leave the elf alone after the battle is done.

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? Gro'mash due to his hatred of humans would be rude and irritated. He would ask for supplies for his forge and be on his way.

[]Other Information:Gro'mash loves the forge and battle just as much as orcs love to piss in skulls. Like most orcs he has a tough personality and will not let just anyone stand in his way.

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.

First of all you really need to work on the formatting of your application. Please leave all the

[color="#00BFFF"][b][u]

stuff where it is. Please do not touch it as it adds colour, and makes the enclosed text bold. Also when you are making your application structure it like this:

[color="#00BFFF"][b][u]Out-Of-Character:[/u][/b][/color]




[color="#00BFFF"][b]Minecraft Account Name:[/b][/color]


Amarnra


[color="#00BFFF"][b]Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?:[/b][/color]


No, I live in Australia so I was not able to attend much to my annoyance.


[color="#00BFFF"][b]How old are you?:[/b][/color]


I am 16 years old.

Here is the application form, for ease of access: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/1035-official-lord-of-the-craft-application-form/

See how there is a space between the answer and the question? That is how I want you to structure it.

Your definition for powergaming needs to be more clear (especially the example). Someone saying "I am going to kill you" is not powergaming, but you are getting close to the definition.

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, have a look at some videos, look around the forms and ask around on Team Speak, if you do not like what you see/hear don’t vote and don’t join.

Your biography needs a little work. First of all there are no other continents/nations other then what is (and what is in) Asulon and Aegis. Please do some research on the lore of the server (such as looking in the wiki here: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page,'>http://www.lordofthecraft.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page, or in the History section of the forums, just go to the main page of the forums should be close to the top) and add that to your biography. That can be anything from town names or people or events which have happened. For example if you were an orc your parents (or even you) could have been part of the Sanhar Riots. It is up to you to do the research though, this shows that you have put in some effort into the creation of your character and looking as to what this whole server is about.

Secondly what are your characters strengths and weaknessess (and trust me, you need to have weaknesses), please include these as you need to have a balanced character instead of a super strong, super fierce, super awesome orc who kills everyone. Perhaps you are allergic to sheep and cannot shoot a bow for the life of you, but you are really good with an axe?

Thirdly you cannot just defeat a whole bunch of guardsmen with only you and a friend. If you did this in-game you would be in trouble for powergaming (possibly even banned), try to make your biography realistic.

Your RP questions need quite some work. "They are not just If I defeat the bandits, I would run away." You have to put some effort into it. Write a paragraph of a story of your guys life. Explain the techniques your character uses in combat, and how the bandits respond. But do not just write that you stab one and then kill the other just as quickly, make it seem as if it was a challange. Perhaps even loose the fight? (I have seen one person do that, and I accepted them.) Be origional! Make something exciting and new happen.

Even for the second RP question, sure you added that you would be rude and irritated, but that doesn't show much. Show your character speaking, and how the merchants reacts and all the things in between. Perhaps a quarrel breaks out and you get a little too physical so the guards come in? Again, be origional.

Your screenshot either didn't get attached or I just can't see it. Even so, I would like you to upload it to an image sharing website and then embed it into your application, I have prepared a tutorial for just that:

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

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

Seriously, please wait 2 days (or as close as you can, if you are like a couple of hours too soon that is totally fine, but make it as close as possible).

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!
