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

I could be on the server five to eight hours weekly. Meaning mostly on the weekends my time will be extremely limited during the week.

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

Roleplaying is relatively self explanatory. However, besides just acting like your character, you are the character. This is the beauty of Roleplaying, because it lets you be whoever or whatever your imagination can come up with.

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

Metagaming is having your character use information that they had been found outside of the game to their advantage. Or doing something that they would need more information for in real life. This creates an unrealistic world going away from the point of trying to create a realistic world with it’s own people.

Powergaming is ‘winning’ an argument or fight and not giving the other player a chance to react to your actions. Ruining the point of role playing.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I expect this server to be full of amazing minecraftians. I have looked over the lore several times, and find it amazing how the community has caused it to grow. There are so many different aspects to the server, and looking over it has reignited the feelings of playing minecraft for the first time again.

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

I have done a lot of server hopping with my minecraft experience and my friends and I bought our own 24/7 server. This is the server I play the most on, but having all the power can get boring. Soon enough you feel like you’ve ‘beat the game.’ I heard of your server from a friend, looked it up, and here I am!

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

I have read the rules and accept them.

How did you hear about us?:

I heard of you from a friend, I do not know his in game name but can get easily find it out for you.

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

I have voted but do not know how to find my vote number.

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

In-Character:

Character Name:

Rovan Dyonle

What is your Race?:

Rovan prides himself as being a High Elf.

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

Rovan was born into the royal lineage of the High Elves. This will always be the thing he is the most proud of. For the first ten years of his life Rovan was spoiled. He was, quite frankly, a brat. The stereotypical High Elf, he looked at all the world down the end of his nose.

This changed the day that Rovan’s father left, he said he was going to find the ones who had unleashed the evil into this world and make them pay, he wanted to kill everyone and everything that caused this threat to his people. Rovan’s mother stopped caring for him and laid in bed all day and night. Rovan was now forced to care of someone else for the first time in his life. He was constantly afraid that he’d wake up and hear knocking at his door. Demanding that he be separated from his mother.

This day did come.

When Rovan was fourteen his mother was sent to an asylum, and he was left alone. He tracked down the best swords-elf he could find and demanded to be taught. The Druid, known as Demus Matenoke, was reluctant to take a strange boy under his roof, but they came to an agreement. Rovan would do all of Demus’ work, from his fields to his house, Rovan would have everything exactly as Demus wished. A deserter of the warrior guild, Demus had much to offer Rovan in the ways of the sword. Rovan learned quickly and over time, the small pale boy from his childhood disappeared into a strong burly elf. On the seventh anniversary of Rovan’s training, Demus gave Rovan his blessing to have all his wishes fulfilled and that he would stay away from harm. Then sent him out into the world on his own. By human standards, Rovan was a man and this is what Rovan saw himself as. However, at the age of twenty one, he is a small child to the elders of his race.

And so his adventures are only beginning.

Your characters ambitions:

 

To bring back the former glory of the High Elves and find his lost father.

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?

 

Rovan would draw his sword and walk directly up to the bandits demanding them to stop. Beginning with making an effort to drive them off without combat. If they made the foolish mistake of laughing, Rovan would give them one chance to flee, saying, “I wish to stay away from bloodshed, i suggest you do not go against my wishes,” punctuating his meaning with a wave of his sword. If the bandits flee he would then calmly walk away as if nothing had happened, if they drew their swords he would take a defensive position in front of the elf. Then wait for them to make the first move. If they fight, they would be quickly disposed of. Rovan would then simply say, “you’re welcome” to the elf’s flow of thanks as he walked away.

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?

Rovan would not engage in conversation with one so low on his ladder of power, but simply pick up the nearest stack of iron, and then pay. Perhaps if he is in an extremely good mood he would give a hardly noticeable smile to the merchant.

-We need you to describe roleplaying. Saying it's self explanatory doesn't let me know that you know what it is.

-Please reword your definition of metagaming. It's not grammatically correct, and I have a hard time judging whether or not you know what it is. It may be wrong as well, so try and look around for that. Your definition of powergaming is a bit incomplete.

-There is powergaming in your app. I can't let you know exactly what that is. Please look for it yourself.

-Please reference other apps for the roleplay responses section. Yours aren't very fleshed out. Try creating a scene and roleplaying the characters inside it.
