In game character;

Character name: Luna Moonshine (nickname: Loony_Moony)

What is your race?: Human

Biography: Luna Moonshine was born half dead. Her parent's thought she was dead when she was born but she wasnt. As she got older she got scarier. She leaned on the walls and looked at the floor all day her hair a black wreck and her nails slid against the walls as she walked. Her parents where scared of her and asked a mage to heal her of her .....well what ever was wrong with her. The mage was named Mooncrusiaus but others called him Mooncrest. When the mage healed her, her hair turned blue and her dark empty eyes became grey. She smiled for the first time since she was born, but somthing was wrong it turns out the mage had to take somthing away in order for it to work and that was her sight. She was blind as a bat. The father got angry and killed the mage like the mighty warrior he was. Later on the mother had another child, a boy. There was somthing wrong with him too, he had purple eyes and white hair like the mage.

The father did notice of course. The mother died giving birth to him.

When the boy turned 5 he killed "his" father in his sleep. The boy was actually pocessed by the mage. The mage left the boys body and all it has been was a corpse now. Luna was so sad after her sences dectecting what the mage had done and locked herself in her room. The mage felt terrible but could not bring her father back or give back her sight. So while the mage waited for her to come out she ran out the window and ran for miles away from her sweet home. However the mage knew where she was and appeared infront of her. She just stared at him. The mage said he was deeply sorry and wanted to bring him back to her but whats done is done even if you dont like it none. The mage paid her back by teaching her the ways of the moon and how to fight. When the mage was finished his spirit faded and the girl walked through many kingdoms. Her wisdom spread like wild fire until she turn 18 when she used a spell to teleport to the temple ((spawn)) of Aegis.

Ambitions for her?: She does have no goals but to serve her kingdom and to share her wisdom

Out in the wilds. There appears to be a small cottage. Outside, there seems to be a elf struggling in combat with two bandits. What do you do?: I would stay hidden then, I would strike right behind them using anything I have to send them to the depths of h3ll ((if you dont like curse words)).Then I would help the elf to his feet and ask him if he would like any help to home.

Your character walks up to a shop in the market. "Hello fair lady!" says the shop-owner "What may I help you with today?" How does your character awnser?: "Hello sir, I was just wondering if I could buy those pretty swords you apples you have." Says Luna "Oh! And i'll pay you an extra few cents if you tell me what phase the moon is tonight!"*with a grin*

A screen shot of your skin: (please dont decline me for this! D:)

I dont know how but as soon as i figure this out ill send it to you.

I'll just describe it. A blue long haired girl with Grey pretty eyes, brown eye lashes, A black robe with jeans, and yellow trim with the black robe.

Other information: Please Please Pleeeeeaaase accept this!!! I really want to be on this server and have fun with my friends. P.s Im a girl so i had to change some application stuff. P.s.s I promiss I will give you a screenshot of my skin!!!!!!! :( :o :-?

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:

You have not used the correct application form.

While it is very similar and does not matter too much, I would like you to use the origional format as it is gender neutral (means it works for guys and girls). You can find it here: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/1035-official-lord-of-the-craft-application-form/

Your metagaming definition is only half correct. Your powergaming definition is 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.

Your biography needs some work.

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).

Your character seems a little too powerful for my liking. Magic is not usually accepted on applications to the server unless it is extremely weak, or they show potential and wish to be trained by a mage but are not overtly powerful. Spells such as teleportation are extremely hard to get in-game and have to be RP'd REALLY well. I suggest that perhaps the mage doesn't teach you any special powers per se, but rather unlocks your potential. Perhaps your character can do very slight magical/psycic things such as short levitation or a small amount of telekenisis but nothing as powerful as teleportation or counjuration.

Your RP situation needs improvement.

On the note of "curse" words, in-character they are completely fine. Things like "Bastard", "****", "crap". But you need to be careful where you use them, and if you do sparinly as there is always the chance that someone may take offence. Although, instead of "hell" people tend to say "nether".

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.

You have not included a skin for your character.

For me to accept you I must be able to view your skin as I need to judge whether it is acceptable for this server, reason being if someone joins this server, but do not show their skin but they have a Tron skin on I would be in big trouble. This is one of many ways to upload a picture of your skin and embed it into your application:

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

*Note* If you want a tutorial for Macs, please send me a message on the forums.

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!
