Out-Of-Character:

Minecraft Account Name: RandomBuddhist

Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?: Nurp.

How old are you?: I’m 13 years old.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: U.S., Central Time.

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes. I can communicate my ideas clearly and legibly, although I may misspell a word here or there.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I’m interested in philosophy and strategy – I love thinking in-depth on things that seem little, like which class to choose in a game, etc. I am both a person of extremes and of moderation – I believe in coming together when being different, and I’m usually flexible when choosing a class/character in a game.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Honestly, I’m afraid to think about it. When I’m not busy with other things, I can probably be playing minecraft 20-30 hours a week, maybe even more (if it’s a good server).

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.: Roleplaying is basically becoming someone you are not and interacting with others who are doing the same – this means taking on the personality, goals, strengths, weaknesses, etc. of the character you are pretending to be. I am a bit inexperienced at RP, but I’m fairly confident I’ll do fine.

In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. Powergaming is basically like not giving the person you are RP’ing with a choice, and basically being an overpowered troll. Metagaming is using out-of-character information while roleplaying, like calling someone by their Minecraft name rather than their RP name.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect this server will be a mature, friendly environment where I can get a taste of both beautiful building and intense pvp.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: ] I’ve jumped around on a lot of servers, but I’ve only stuck with a few. Arkcraft, Dangazzm, and Shatteredmines are probably three of the main servers I’ve played on. I started with Dangazzm, a kind of rpg/pvp place, but the server went down one morning and didn’t come back up. A few months later I heard about Arkcraft, which had the same community as Dangazzm and was very similar to it, so I moved there. I played on Arkcraft for a time, but then that too went down when the owners couldn’t afford to pay for the server anymore, and our whole server migrated to shatteredmines, a hardcore pvp place with heroes and factions. And – you guessed it – shatteredmines went down too, and I came here, having heard of this server from some of my friends on Arkcraft. Other servers that I have been on I left because of failure whitelist systems, corruption of staff members, server going dark, and boredom.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes.

How did you hear about us?: I heard about LoTC from a friend on a previous server.

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you? I voted for the server following the forum link… it didn’t give me a number though. If you are asking for the captcha, it was something like “oiodspo 169”.

What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name?: RandomBuddhist.

In-Character:

Character Name: Cursolus.

What is your Race?: I’m an elf.

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Cursolus was born on the coldest day of the year, in mid-winter, as the sun just began to plunge from the sky. His parents treated him badly as he grew up, and he constantly reflected upon his life. This caused him to gain a philosophical mind and he began to question things – he pondered many hours over ethics, the universe, and even knowledge itself, and he strongly believed in honor. Eventually, fed up with being harshly mistreated by his parents, he ran from home into the wild. It was a hard life there, but he learned quickly how to mine, farm, and obtain the resources he needed to defend himself. But he grew restless over the years, as he realized how very alone he was, and so it was that he began a great journey. He walked for many days and many nights searching for friends – but all he found in the majestic mountains was trees and waterfalls, all he found in the great plains was tall grasses and animals, all he found in the freezing tundras was snow and ice. But if the cruel world had taught Cursolus one thing, it was determination. Jaw set, eyes hard, Cursolus challenged the gods themselves and walked to the clouds, past the sky, into the sun, and even further. He walked until he found himself tearing through the very fabric of space and time, and then, suddenly, he was in an entirely different universe. It was in this world that he finally found friends, and yet it did not last for long – soon, the sky was caving in, the world was shuddering, and darkness enveloped the world. So Cursolus continued walking. He walked into many universes, many different worlds. Through his experiences, he learned how to build strong, lasting cities, how to fight, mine, farm, wire contraptions, and even what it meant to wield power and responsibility. He forged a rational perspective of life – a perspective that helped him to survive and make good choices on more than one occasion, and behind his rational way of thinking lived a fiery determination. With this formidable duo of traits, Cursolus battled his way through world after world, fighting with sword as often as with words. And now, Cursolus comes, tired and in battered rags, still a child, to the doorstep of Asulon, ready to once again find friends and destroy enemies.

Your characters ambitions: The main goal of Cursolus is to seek knowledge, explore the world, make friends, and spread his ideas of ethical living.

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? Cursolus would most likely evaluate the situation – if the bandits look very powerful, then he would move on his way and try to stay out of sight, if it looked like his helping out the elf would make a difference, then he would.

Your character walks up to a shop in the middle of Al'Khazar. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer? “Greetings, good merchant. What wares have you to offer?”

Other Information: I will post on the Minecraft Forums page soon, the website is being weird right now and it won't let me post.

But I did really like your app, it was well written, but you cannot have that lore. Saying you are a master of all trades is powergaming in itself and walking through universes doesn't make sense for this world. Please rewrite the bio.
