In his toddler stages his hair was dirty blond and he wore leafy clothes.Kan'ae also learned to talk in 10 days.In his toddler stages his father went to go out to war against the orcs and he was taken by his mother to a refugee camp.The refugee camp was often raided but Kan'ae was very sneaky and mostly found a good spot to hide.

One day he was seen and was taken to a prison.Three hours later he heard his mother being executed.They are going to execute me Kan'ae thought,but they never tryed to execute him.He was there until he was 21 years old.Kan'aes clothes were replaced with a rough leather suit and he had light blond hair.Kan'ae sneaked out of his cell when they opened his door to give him food. Later he was almost caught by a orc with a Iron Sword, who was looking for him.3 minutes later all the orc prison guards were patrolling the prison.Kan'ae was seen by an orc and almost was stabbed in the heart.He ran and jumped into a pool of water.He managed to lose the orc and free 3 prisoners,but he was seen and ran for his life.The front doors closed on Kan'ae, so he ran up to a prison guard,Knocked the prison guard out,Grabbed the guards Heavy sword, and threw it at the window.The window shattered and Kan'ae jumped out of the window.He walked to an alleyway in the orc town and slept in the alleyway for the night.

The next morning Kan'ae was starving and thirsty.He had to beg for food and water every day to survive.Then he was visited by a cheerful orc, who sold elven clothes and elven items.Kan'ae looked up at the shopkeeper and said "Who are you?".The shopkeeper said "I am a shopkeeper that sells elven clothes,lad.".Kan'ae looked up suprised and then the shopkeeper said "Take a elven quiver and clothes,lad!".Kan'ae took the items and said "Thank you,Sir.".Kan'ae took of the prisoner clothes,hid and put on the elven clothes and equipped the quiver and headed off to the nearest forest,hoping to find some weapons.He found some shears and started to cut leaves.

Kan'ae was great at climbing trees after 3 years.He always made a hole in a tree,Hit the wood with the shears, and made a bed out of leaves he collected every day.Kan'ae started to collect apples everyday to.He had to punch spiders every 3 nights.After he couldnt carry any more wood he put the wood on a tree.2 minutes later Kan'ae found an axe and a corspe.He slowly crept to the body, grabbed the axe, and threw it up onto the tree with the wood on it.He made a good throw and it landed on the side of a log.He climbed up the tree and started to pull the axe out.After he pulled it out he was knocked back by the power he used to pull out the axe.His shears flew out of his hands and broke when they hit a tree.He almost fell off onto the ground by his power.The axe was light and made of stone.He started to make planks by using the axe.After that he made a workbench.

He looked at the workbench and then at the planks.He started to make poles out of the remaining planks and used the string he gathered from spiders and made a fishing rod.Then he ate a apple and got some water from a lake near him.He made this area his baseand wouldn't wander off far.He did the same process every day and nothing happened besides orcs walking around the forest chopping down trees.His tree was almost cut down so he rustled the bushes behind the orc and he scared it.His axe was broken the next day.He was 86 when he made new clothes and he started to pack up his things to go.

Kan'ae started to travel to many towns.He was used to walking after 21 days of traveling and could travel until midnight.He found many nice villages until 5 years later he found a university in an elven town.He started to the town and then he saw 3 orcs charging at him.He ran for his life but tripped and then the elven guards started to fire arrows at the orcs.Kan'ae wasnt distracted by the orcs,he saw someone.It was Kan'aes father.Kan'ae got up and walked slowly towards his father."Ka'avel (Dragon Sword)"Kan'ae muttered without thinking.Kan'ae's father looked at his son and then Kan'ae started to climb the wall.He was shot by an arrow but he didnt feel any pain.He kept climbing until.He reached the top and yelled "Father! It's me Kan'ae."

Kan'ae's father dropped his weapons and then Kan'ae hugged his long lost father.He would finally get to live with him again.Kan'ae was so happy then he realised the pain in his leg from the arrow.He pointed toward the back of his leg and his father took out the arrow and healed his leg with a splash potion.Ka'avel then let go of Kan'ae and started to fire at the orcs.Kan'ae then went to the armory, grabbed a bow, and some arrows.Kan'ae ran out of the armory and ran to the battlements.He looked and then he realised there was an army attacking.He aimed his bow at a orc and shot arrow.It hit the orc in the face and the orc dropped his weapons and fell to the ground.Three hours later the orc army had one man left and the orc fled.Then Kan'ae passed out.

Ka'avel woke Kan'ae up the next morning and showed Kan'ae the whole house.The kitchen had a nice wooden flooring,a chest containg wheat, a workbench to make bread with, a furnace that was highly polished, a counter with a cake on it, and a chest containing warm bread.The dining room had Very nice artwork, a wooden table, and a nice leafy floor.The bed room had a nice bed,woolen floor,a nightstand,glowstone lighting, and a chest full of clothes.The guest bedroom looked exactly the same as the other bedroom.Ka'avel asked Kan'ae a question."Where is your mother?".Kan'ae started to look down at the ground.He had completely forgot about his mother being dead.Kan'ae said "The orcs executed her."he said grimly.Kan'ae didn't eat dinner and then lay down on his bed.He had 2 nightmares.The first one was him being chained to a wall,watching his mothers head being cut off and chopped into peices.The second nightmare was his mother watching his head be cut off and chopped into peices.Ka'avel died was Kan'ae was 110 years old and then Kan'ae watched his dads funeral then he left taking his dads money and headed off for Asulon.He went to the city's dock and took a boat to Asulon.

What does your character do?Kan'ae looks for any weapons he has on him.if its a bow he will fire it at one of the bandits.If it is a sword he will run up to the bandit, kill him and says to the other bandit "Fall back or end up like your dead friend".If the bandit dosen't walk away then Kan'ae will kill the bandit and will leave without taking any reward

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'll take some arrows and a iron sword" says Kan'ae."Why that will be 150 minas." says the shopkeeper.Kan'ae pays and walks away and says "Thank you for your service".

Your application has been:

Do not worry though; this does not mean you cannot apply again, quite the contrary! After 24 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 quite a bit.

You have been denied because:

Your definition of powergaming is 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.

Your biography needs a lot of improvement.

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).

I would also like to add that the Orcs and Elves had a military alliance from quite some time, so the lore of your biography does not make very much sense.

Your answers for the RP situation needs quite a bit of improvement.

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.

Your skin is not embedded into your application.

The reason for this is because recently people have been linking some dangerous websites to where the image of their skin has been hosted. To avoid this we request that the image is directly linked to this website either as an upload or being embedded into the post itself. You can do this by following this tutorial:

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 24 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, then give you a break and a fresh mind to re-write your application in the required areas. This is also to prevent the spamming of applications, as if there was no limit we would be absolutely swamped with applications.

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!
