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

Katty was born in a small, unamed village near the sea. Her mother was an elder midwife, and her father was a drunk. He left her family when she was only 3 years old. Without her husband, Katty's mother struggled to raise 5 kids, Katty being the youngest. At a very young age Katty learned midwifery and archery. At the age of 16 Katty traveled to a land known as Citywars, where she moved form city to city, trying to find a place that suited her. After being abused and humiliated by the most powerful city of all, she traveled to the quaint village of Exodus. There she married the King's adviser at the age of 17, but quickly divorced him because he abused her. With no where else to go, she fled to the town of RayWyne and lived a quiet life farming melons. Katty got bored, and she searched for a new server. On her quest for a server, she found out about a server called Lord of the Craft......

Appearance: Katty is beautiful with long dark hair and blue eyes. She usually wears pink, and wears outfits that don't completely cover her up.

Attributes: She is shy, kind and sweet, but is viscous when you make her mad. Katty has a soft-spot for babies and young children. She is more comfortable around female players because of her unpleasant past with men. She is interested in handsome, funny men who like her personality, not just her body. She is easily amused and enjoys red roses. Her favorite minecraft block is pink wool. She is a girly when it comes to pretty things, but is a tom-boy at heart. She greatly dislikes people who are very smug or selfish. Katty is persistent and will never give up once she has a goal. She is very smart when it comes to people, and can be reckless in certain situations.

Your characters ambitions:

. My character’s ambition is to be well-respected and gain power through her kindness and brains, not through lies and cheats.

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?

Katty would draw her bow and shoot the bandits, then she would talk to the elf. If the elf is rude she would kill the elf and take his stuff. If the elf is kind, she will bargain and trade items with him.

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?

"Hello can I get 3 stacks of wood, 5 stacks of arrows, a stack of pink wool, and 2 roses please?"

Your application has been:

Do not worry though; this does not mean you cannot apply again, quite the contrary! After two hours you may apply again which gives you plenty of time to fix up your application, plan it out as well as use all of this advice which I have given you in this post to make your application one of the best. Please check the links at the bottom of this post, they will help you so much.

This is why you were denied:

Your metagaming and powergaming definitions are incorrect.

To be able to play on this server you need to understand what Powergaming and Metagaming are. Luckily for you there are plenty of options to be able to achieve this goal; first of all you can look on the lord of the craft wiki and then search for either "Powergaming" or "Metagaming" (and I say either, because both are on the same page), 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.

You have not yet 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.

Your biography contains a lot of errors which need to be corrected.

This is an RP server, which means your character will not see things as "blocks", will not know that they are in a minecraft server and will not know other minecraft servers exist.

Your biography is too short and needs some expansion. 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 also 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. The types of lore you can include can people places such as towns and kingdoms, or even people or events (such as the exodus from Aegis to Asulon which affected almost everyone).

The RP situations are in need of a lot of improvement.

You would not be able to kill the elf as that would be a villainous act, and you do not have a villain application (can be filled out after you have been accepted on the server).

You cannot just write that “I kill the bandits” or “I help the elf”. There must first be some role-play such as talking and some warning before the combat takes place. Be as descriptive as possible when writing about the situation. Include all of the bandits and your actions, as well as all of the speaking that takes place. Instead of writing it like “I would do this, and then this and then the elf would thank me.” Write it like a story so: Zolgash would bellow in an attempt to scare the bandits. “Get away from that elf or you will taste my steel!” The bandits laugh at the orc and turn towards him, but still keeping an eye on the elf. “Ya don’t scare us, green flith.” The bandits charge at Zolgash, meeting steel on steel. See the difference?

You need to write a lot more for the second one. Everyone (and I mean everyone) just writes that they buy something, and leave. What is that? It shows a lack of effort in my opinion. All you have to do is use your imagination, create something innovative, exciting and fun for the reader. There are endless possibilities, for example you could write that the shop keeper is actually a bandit who is luring victims into his shop and then he gets his thug friends to come in from the rear to block your escape, or perhaps the shop keeper tries to cheat you of an item and you respond by calling the guards and something exciting happens. The possibilities are endless; all you have to do is be creative.

Please wait 2 hours or your application will be instantly denied.

This gives you a chance to have a cup of tea and read all of which I have provided.

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!
