Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): As a young child Yert has had a rough child hood, he always got beaten up at school and never seemed to be good at anything, always bad at riding horses and never hit the targets with his bow and arrow. But now that all has changed since he grew up, he has his own stallion named Leather and can shoot a fly in mid-flight with an arrow. Yert has dark blue hair and wears a faded purple robe with green tights. His weapons of choice are the Long Bow and a Sword. He was born a black smith and now has a carrier of being a weapons trainer for the youth. Yert never let a single person down, when he see's someone getting beat up, he steps in. He protects the unprotected and fights for the unarmed. Even tho he is only 5 foot, he still gets around where he needs to go.

Your characters ambitions: Yert needs to find his brother Veto before he die's. Him and Veto we on a hike together when they were attacked by a group of bandits. Yert was a young boy still, never hit his teens yet when this happened and Veto was 17 at the time. Veto told Yert to run and hide in the forest until Veto told him he would be safe. But Yert never heard the call of his brother. When he went back to see if his brother was still their, all that he seen was Veto's knife. After months upon months of searching for his brother he found it useless and gave up...Until now. Yert how grown older and is skilled in combat and knows his way around. He will now search for his brother until he cant search anymore.

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? Yert pulls out his bow and begins to shoot. All of his arrows hit on target and soon the fight was over. As he is walking up towards the wounded elf, he notices that the elf has a cut on the lower part of his torso. Yert knows how to sew but is not confident in his abilities. So he caries the elf to the nearest village and brings him to the medic in the town. He gets well soon and thanks me for my efforts. He tried to give me money for my bravery but i decline. I told him about my story and why i am travailing. He asks to come with me because he is not at all skilled enough to fight for him self and Yert needed some company so he agrees and they press on.

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? Why Hello their, i would like to purchase some arrows, do you have any in stock? [store clerk] Why yes i do my good sir, ill be one moment. [Yert] Thank you my good sir, i will be on my way. [store clerk] Your welcome anytime my good fellow any time.

Denied

This application was denied because:

Your definition of powergaming is incorrect

You looked at the wrong definition, as there are many on wikipedia which is why we encourage people to look on the Lord of the Craft wiki instead. Look at the "Online Roleplaying" section.

Your biography needs some work.

Your biography contains powergaming and godmodding, you cannot simple "shoot" a fly. This is nigh impossible, though not entirely. Perhaps you would be able to earn such prowess in-game, but only after countless RP sessions. Start of modest, work your way up.

5 foot is TINY, especially for an elf. Resarch about elves on the Lord of the Craft wiki to find a more acceptable height.

Please include the entire question when writing your biography such as your characters history, personality, description and age. With the description don’t just write He is tall and old and carries around a bow. There are a lot of tall, old people who carry around bows. Get descriptive; what is your hair colour? How long? Eye colour? Big eyes? Small eyes? Do you have wrinkles? How tall are you? Are you muscled or slim but agile?

You need to add your characters strengths and weaknesses as well as reasons for such. For example, if your character is good at swordsmanship, bows or even farming you need to explain in your biography why your character is so good in what it does and how it developed these skills.

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 . . .

You have not voted for the server.

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.

There are mistakes in the first RP question, and both are in need of improvement.

I would like you to RP the senarios as you would in-game, in that sense you must include all actions and dialog. Be as descriptive as possible, not just "He would shoot them and kill them". This also means you must abide by the rules of the server (namley no non-Rp killing, first you must RP I.E chat, before you attack but as you are not a villain you need a justified reason)

The second Rp question is not a simple "Hello I would like to buy ___ thank you good bye." You need to show all the actions of the characters, and you need to be descriptive and origional. Perhaps a bandit breaks into the store and attempts to rob it while you are in it? Or mayhaps something even more exciting happens, you rule the story just make sure it is realistic and abides by the rules of the server.

Do not post another application within a day 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!
