Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

I enjoy playing sports, writing, reading, and PC/Xbox gaming. When I grow up, I want to be an Architect. My inspiration came from LEGO and Minecraft.

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

Well, I play Minecraft almost every free second I get so you can expect me to be an active member.

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

To me, role-playing is very fun because it takes you out of your real life and puts you in a new one. When you make a character, you decide everything about him. You can control everything your character does and with all the options you have in Minecraft, in my opinion at least, Minecraft and role-playing were meant for each other.

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

Metagaming is when your character doesn't know something that is going on. You yourself in reality might know the thing but when playing as your character, you do not. For example, you know that your character is in a video game. It sees it as a strange blocky world. Powergaming is when your character is most powerful or if they do a move without the enemy being able to react, for example if I push someone into a pit of lava, they don't have a chance of doing anything about it, or if I have a Notch Sword.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

Everything I hope for. Which is an awesome, action packed server with great community posing as great characters. Minecraft is more than just building things. It's about interacting with other people, creating things, and explore.

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

Well, I have been on a strand of crappy servers that I don't know the names of, but I do know the one I recently left for this.

Mobicraft - I am in fact an Admin on this server. But the other staff started getting corrupt and even the server owner himself did. I unbanned a guy who got banned unfairly for opposing another admin, and ended up getting banned by the server owner himself. It was only temporary, but I realized that this server isn't what it used to be.

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

Yes, I have done all of the above.

How did you hear about us?:

From a "Minecraft Top 10 Servers" website.

Eh, what other race do ya see with a beard th' size of yer head that spend their whole damn life in th' mountains?

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

Hmmph... Where ta start... Where ta start... Ah! So... I was raised in th' Magma Mountains, th' most dangerous Dwarven minin' site in th' world. Hell, it's a volcano surrounded by mountains!

Anyway, th' life there is just minin', minin', and more minin'. You Humans and Elves would think that's every Dwarves dream! Well, it aint, I tell ya! When yer 10 years old, ya get yer first minin' pick. I were quickly taught how ta wield th' pick, how ta use minin' techniques ta find minerals like gold, an' how ta not break yer pick! Bwahahahaha! In about 3 months I found me first piece o' gold an' I turned out ta be quite th' miner. But I always wanted somethin' more.

If ya read Dwarven history, me first name is th' name of a great Dwarven blacksmith, Telchar. This is due to almost me whole family being blacksmiths, some miners, and only 1, me great great grandfather, a warrior. Me last name is Arnoediad, a place where th' Dwarves o' Belegost won a great victory. Th' Battle o' Unnumbered Tears, as they call it.

After 7 long years o' minin', I have vast riches that were unimaginable fer a normal Human citizen. But I figured that I would want to follow th' footsteps o' me great great grandfather, and be a Dwarven warrior. Instead o' supporting me decision, me parents said I needed ta keep runnin' th' family business. "Hell no!" I said, Me parents ain't gonna control me life! On January 27, when I turned 18 years old, I joined th' Dwarven Academy where I trained ta learn how ta throw an' handle an ax, which proved ta be quite th' easy task. 7 years o' minin' strengthened me up. After a year o' trainin', I were finally accepted into th' Dwarven military. Perfect timin' to. In about 2 weeks, we were against those damned Orcs in th' Great Orc War. After frontal assaults were goin' nowhere, we started targetin' their farms an their mines, which was th' worst choice we ever made. Th' Orc's responded by hundreds o' raids in th' Dwarven Territories. But after our miners discovered a new explosive mineral, th' war was basically ours. I returned home to find me parents had been killed in th' Orc raids. Suddenly, me life turned around. I came to th' academy with hopes o' glory an' returned to a storm o' tears. I promised myself ta avenge me parents by killin' every Orc I rest me bloody eyes on!

After 9 years, which would make me 27, I have killed more Orcs then I can count! An' I will keep doin' so until me dyin' breath!

Your characters ambitions:

Well, as a child, I wanted ta be more then just a miner but that dream was forfilled. Now, about th' only purpose in me life is ta kill every Orc I come across. Other than that, I want ta explore th' world more as I have only been to th' Dwarven and Orc Territories.

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?

I sit an' watch for a few moments before makin' a move. Th' Elf is down on th' ground and one of th' bandits is about ta strike th' final blow when me ax comes flyin' and hits him right in th' skull. Startled, th' other bandit pulls out his blade an' faces me. Unarmed, I try an' think of a plan quickly before he strikes. All of th' sudden a knife stabs through th' bandits body. Th' elf got up and stabbed his knife into th' bandits back. Th' bandit I killed must have had a hard head because me ax head was broken off th' handle.

"Thank you" The elf says as he realizes my situation, "There is a market just West of here, where there is a blacksmith. You can get a new ax there."

I thank th' Elf and head west.

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?

"Ello'" I say, "Are you th' blacksmith that elf told me about?" I ask,

"Well, I am a blacksmith, but I know nothing of an elf." He replies,

I notice the blacksmith is a Dwarf, but he doesn't have our accent.

"Hey, yer a Dwarf, but ya don't share our accent?" I exclaim

"Oh, I was raised by humans. Nice life, actually. Anyway, you want a blade?" He says, eager to change the topic,

"An ax." I reply as I admire the blacksmiths work,

"Mmm? Oh, we have lots of those." He says,

I stare at an ax which appears to be made of diamond.

"I will take that one" I say as I bash a handful of gold on the wooden counter,

The blacksmith's eyes bulge.

"The ax is only half the price of that!" He exclaims,

"Don't worry 'bout it." I say, "I have more money then I know what ta do with."

"Thank you, sir!" He says as I walk away with the ax...
