Thorin

What is your Race?: Dwarf

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

Thorin was born outside of Kal’Urguan, but he knew lots of there culture and the way they had very little respect for the humans and the elves. Thorin had a good childhood, he worked for his father, Glorthal. Glorthal was rather wealthy, but didn't care for any dwarven history and rituals, but Thorin wood always read book of the underground ways of the traditional Dwarves.

Thorin grew older, a child still in his fathers eyes but Thorin felt the need to join the people of Kal'Urguan, Glorthal thought Thorin was mad; Glorthal, angry at Thorin locked him in a dark cellar, but Thorin already knew this would happen, He had been planning this for months, he would be locked in a cellar, but he would remove the false bricks in the wall and he would be taken to a human inhabited city, where he would then find a path to Kal'Urguan. why would he do this? well, his father wasn't just a rich bastard, he actually worked with the Undead, he hated the ways of the traditional dwarven lore, so he joined the evil, but the one he married already gave birth to Thorin, and now, he leaves this evil place and hopefully he may start a new life.

Once Thorin made his way to a normal human kingdom, he already noticed an evil presence upon him, hooded beings were watching him everywhere, probably looking for him! Thorin could see a wagon at the end of this town and he ran as fast as a 5 foot dwarf could, but he saw the undead coming for him with what looked like curved swords of, god knows what shadowy material it was! Thankfully, Thorin was already inside the wagon and he was going to be taken to where he belongs...

Your characters ambitions:

Join the dwarves he has read about long times ago in his childhood, the Dwarves of Kal’Urguan

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?

Thorin knows he would he sliced to bits by the bandits sharp blades, so he takes a stealthy approach, but being a dwarf in heavy clanking chainmail he was easily noticed. Thorin find a large wooden stick and hits the first bandit in the head, only stunning him for a second, for the bandit was very skilled at dodging really serious blows. Both bandits, now trying to slice through Thorins flesh feel very confident that the Dwarf was done, but the elf, surprisingly, uses a ebony dagger to slit both bandits throats with a well executed swipe, and Thorin, being a dwarf, looks at the elf and says "... uuh, i didn't need your help, but where does an elf learn to fight like that?"

the elf doesn't say anything but sits down and grabs a book that is titled "fighting techniques" and the elf passes it to Thorin and finally says "keep it, your worthless at fighting!"

but it was true, Thorin never learnt to fight like other dwarves, but he kept going his way down the road across the cottage.

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?

"OI! i need a strong mead and a Delicious meat for my stomach thank you!

the shop keeper replys looking down from the counter to mock thorin

"aah, one of your kind eh? what can i get for you small one?"

Thorin is ferious, but replys assertively: "dont make me cut you in half! give me a drink and i will be on my way!"

the shopkeeper isn't impressed but he gives Thorin the mead, but after the large dwarf heads off the shop keeper realizes that he got no money from what he just sold! Thorin didn't realize this though, he was not a very smart dwarf, but he was happy with the purchase!

Your application has been:

As this is your sixth application, please do not apply on the server again for at least 2 months.

This is why you were denied:

Your definition for powergaming was incorrect.

Luckily for you there are plenty of ways to learn the correct definition. First of all you can look on the lord of the craft wiki and then search for "Powergaming", 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.

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.

Your biography is not complete.

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 more lore from the world of Aegis and/or Asulon then just the name of the dwarven kingdom, 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 skin is not embedded.

Please embed your screenshot into your application. While this may take an extra few minutes, what is a few minutes to the countless hours you could potentially spend on this server! It is so easy too. Here is how it is done...

1.Go to the link you have provided (you have given an ample screenshot, so we shall skip the "Getting the image" and "Uploading it" phases) and right click on the image, select "Copy Image Location"

2.Go to your new application and select "Insert Image". It should have the icon of a little tree in a photoframe, and will be next to the "Inset Link" button, and underneath the "Text Color" button.

3.Paste into the textbox (as you have copied the image's location).

4.Select "Insert Image" and voilà! You are done.

As I said previously, please wait 2 months before applying again for the server.

The reason for this is, if after 5 applications you have not shown us your skills in roleplaying are sufficient to join this server you probably will not for quite a long time. The 2 month wait gives you time to learn better grammar, learn more about roleplaying and become more practised in it.
