In-Character:

Character Name: Sultaan

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.): My character is a rogue raised by elves. He is very kind and gentle and can be misunderstood. He loves the outdoors and anything which does not attack him.

One night, Sultaan and his father were hunting food for the night. A scream was heard an birds retreated out of the forest. His father quickly ran to see what went on and he screamed 'Go to your mother!' as he ran he dropped something. An amulet. And that is all he had of him. Sultaan ran so he could not be killed by any of the creatures that swarm the night. When suddenly, He tripped over a log.

He woke up to see a tribe of men looking down at him. 'Where am I? Who are you? Where is my father? he cried. 'We are the elves. And we swore on the lords life that we shall take care of you'. Sultaan grew up being taught many things by these elves.

One night Sultaan was hunting on for food in this same forest as he lost his father. Yet he never knew. Then he felt dizzy. His face started to swell. Pain across his back and gathered any breathe they would desire. Someone had killed him. And that someone killed his Father!

Sultaan woke up to see himself stranded on an island that many people had already lived on. Bones scattered everywhere. 'Could this be the valley that is known for noone to survive on?'

He though until his mind ached and could not think no more. He saw a mirage that a smoke was coming off the horizon. Thirst pulled across his feet making him shiver. He walked closer to the smoke to realize it was not a mirage. It was a town. Smoke coming from the chimney. Men harvesting food eating as if they hadn't eaten for 3 full moons. Sultaan went to the gate and saw someone guarding the gates.'Food' He groaned. 'Speak up' Laughed the guard. 'I need food. Food!' Then the guard suddenly realised what Sultaan was trying to say and pulled him into the main house of the town. Sultaan explained everything in detail while being fed with the most sweetest food you could ever have. He was served with the finest clothing and enjoyed the food.

Your characters ambitions: Sultaan wants to lead and create a league of beings that helps towns in need.

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 glance at the elf and wink at him. Then I slice my swords to the back of the bandits. And tell the elf 'Stay away from these foul creatures that nothing but the dark. Are you hungry? Because I am let us go to the market'. Then I take him to the closest market to get some food.

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? :

-I walk into the market with the elf.

'Can you please help this young elf to some food who has been attacked by Vicious Bandits. I will pay as it is I who saved this elf who was in terrible danger.'

'Bandits?!?' Says the shop owner. 'It's on the house!'

A screenshot of your skin:

Other Information: I like to pvp. And the rules that I have read about war. Agreed. People always make random attacks and how they play is unfair.

______________________________________

I'm sorry, but your application for Lord of the Craft has been...

Notes for applicant:

Your example of powergaming in the "What is Powergaming?" question isn't powergaming, it's just evil..

In your Open Question you powergamed:

I glance at the elf and wink at him. Then I slice my swords to the back of the bandits.

Notes regarding application: Powergaming Definiton. Open Response Powergaming.

Please note: Whilst you may be angry or irritated at this denial, you need to understand that as a member of the Application Team it is my job to ensure we only have people who made great applications on the server. After you fix the issues that I've detailed in your application, it will probably be accepted.

Where can I get help to fix these errors?

It really depends on what you need – you are not allowed to have anyone else write part of your application for you. As the Application Team we're here to not only accept and deny your applications, but it's our job to give you help for fixing them. We'll help you as much as we can, but we will never write a bit of your application, no matter how much you ask!

The best way to get help, is to contact the Application Team member who denied you, (in this case, myself; Danny). You can contact me either here on the forums, via a PM – or you can also find me on TeamSpeak most of the time, either in the “Application Team” channel or in one of the private channels. Feel free to poke me, or send me a message for any help, and I'll try my best to help you!

I'd also suggest that you do some reading up, depending on why you were denied, as there's some good help out there, already written for anyone who needs it!

The WikiYou provides almost every scratch of lore that we have, there's people dedicated to expanding on it, and making it as detailed as possible. It's possibly the best place to find lore on the website, although you can also find quite a bit in this forum section.

You should also read the various posts that have been made by GM's and Application Team members to help with your applications, and believe me, there are many. The most useful is the “Application Team's Advice” thread. Which can be found

right here.

Can I re-apply?

Of course you can! Often people post as many as 3 applications before they're accepted! Just make sure, that you wait until after 48 hours before you re-apply or your application will be denied. We have the 48 hour wait system to keep the Application Submissions forum tidy, and to ensure that the application team aren't overwhelmed by applicants posting a new application every five minutes.
