Minecraft Account Name:

Rematch

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

I would be unable to, due to my place of residence.

How old are you?:

I am 22

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:

GMT 10+ Australia

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?:

Yes, my native language is English.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

I am an avid learner of philosophy and social science and am currently studying as a major in both fields, I love the feeling of being part of a community, online or offline.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?:

I am a nightcrawler which means I play mostly during the night, however on days I do not have university I am able to actively play for a prolonged period of time, anywhere up from 15-20 hours a week.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.:

Roleplaying is playing the 'role' of a character, speaking as though you were the character you have put the time and effort into creating, evolving your character's story, basically a story that allows yourself and others to help shape.

In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are.

Metagaming is when you use information you have found out via (OOC) out of character and use it (IC) in character, it defeats the purpose of RP as your character would not know such information and thus should not be able to act upon it.

Powergaming is basically ignoring another person's character and not giving them to chance to retaliate an example of this would be "*player name* kicks *opponents name* with such power that he/she is knocked out instantly" Note: the opponent was unable to fight back or retaliate, a non power-gamer would RP this instead "*player name* attempts to kick *opponents name*, instead of forcefully performing an action the player is attempting it

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I have watched a few YouTube videos and read the rules/FAQ, from the looks of what I have seen this server is right on Par with what I am looking for in terms of community (friendly and knowledgeable) as well as in terms of role-playing, since alot of the servers that are considered in the top ten determine paying a membership as how well your character levels this would be a very refreshing change.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?:

To be honest I have recently gotten back into minecraft, most servers I have joined have been survival based (not roleplaying) I have looked from role player servers but none which have particularly interested me until now, so i figured I would try my hand at joining this one.

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

Yes indeed I have, reading over the history again too.

How did you hear about us?:

I do not have the link on me anymore but i searched under role playing servers and liked the look and versatility of this one, also found alot of positive feedback on the mine status website

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you?

Yes i have and it was at 2,019 When I voted, so I am guessing that is my number.

Rematch, same as my mc name.

Character Name:

Grulsh

What is your Race?:

Orc (red skinned)

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

Grulsh barely remembered his childhood, he was young when war ripped through his clan, his kin slaughtered like lambs, though they fought the attack was unprecedented, the clan in which he called his own was only a small group of red orcs, primordial beings with little dealings of the outside world, choosing to live stoic lives in amongst the vast expanse of the desert, but luck would have it that even the desert can be made made territory in the eyes of the greedy, so as it was he was torn from his clan and cast into a new life, little knowledge as to what had happened to his kin, to his parents... to his life.

His father looked down upon his eyes glistened with the heart of battle and said for him to run, said for him not to forgot what it means to be orc, not to forgot what it means to fight with honor, then with a heavy warcry he turned to his wife and told her to take Grulsh to run and keep running, to not look back even if she cant run any further.

So they ran, his mother and him, only to stop when Grulsh's small legs couldn't take anymore, but as they slowed a different predator stalked them, as his mother sat to gain some breath and arrow laced the air and struck her leg, with a cry out she hissed and pulled Grulsh into the bushes, telling him not to even murmur, with little remorse his mother was struck down by a small group of what he could only tell to be human's they pointed at him as tears trickled down his red face, and that is how Grulsh was born into battle.

As everything else was stripped of him, his clothes, his kin, his dignity, with little left his captor's beat him, day by day until they ruthlessly broke him into submission, trained him to be what they were, cutthroats, mercenaries who fought only if the coin was good, with no honor, these were not the ways of the red skinned orcs but he had little choice, he was far too young, too weak to fight back. As he aged his scars grew more numerous, his captor's also grew weary , though they outnumbered him his size had increased, he was no longer a mere child, no longer to be pushed around and he knew this, biding his time slowly to exact his revenge upon those that had killed his mother, rage fitted inside him but he was patient.

He would not have his vengeance as luck would have it because as he drank water by a nearby canal a patrol of orcs had eviscerated the human camp, having tracked them for months, he only had corpses and a small band of green skinned, having only seen them once through trade when he was within his clan he knew little of their nature, their intentions.

As they spotted him the leader spoke with a viscous tone "Red-skin you fight with the same attire as these men, why do you stoop to fight alongside men, are you not orc!?" Grulsh spoke back a little hastily "I had little choice, they had taken everything from me, it was today i would take their life, you have stolen my vengeance 'green-skin'" he said in the same tone as the orc before him, the orc leader then smiled "Then come, we shall show you what it means to be orc, what it means to fight as an orc"

Grulsh followed, with little choice otherwise, and so his journey begins..

((Sorry for the long winded paragraph, but put alot of thought into this character and his progression, wanted to go for more an an evolving character personality wise))

Age: 19 (grunt)

Appearance: Red-skinned, battle scars lace his body including a large one over his eye, causing one eye to be a white hue due to damage.

Personality: Knows little of emotions and can often be seen as numb, often also in deep thought and easily provoked.

Your characters ambitions:

To abide by his father's wishes and remember what it means to be orc, to live and fight with honor and on another degree, found out if his father had survived as well as wreak havoc onto those who slaughtered his kin

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?

Grulsh walking alongside the cottage overhears the situation, a smile lacing upon his lips he simply mutters three simple words to himself "not my business" overlooking the situation a moment longer, he continued forward, feeling that he had no allegiance to the elf, if he were to help the elf the elf would surely present gratitude and he did not want gratitude from and elf and if he were to attack the elf in a number of three simply for money he would fight with dishnor which goes against his code, with that he huffed for a moment and sauntered off.

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?

looks to the shopkeeper and peers over behind him, being a man of few words especially if conversation was not warranted he opens his mouth, his sharp tusk prodding against his lips as he speaks in a dry tone "Stone axe" he says straight to the point trying to cut out idle talk.

Can be found in attachments ((some reason image hosting wasnt working for me))

Other Information:

If redskin orc does not fit into the lore here, (though mine is based off simply a different coloured clan, then the 'WoW' variant, then I can change my backstory to fit a Green orc, even if i do not get accepted, i thankyou in advance for reading my application.
