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

10 hours and more.

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

Its about creating a character that you will enjoy playing, using your imagination to make him alive. Then comes the way you play, that is the most crucial part of RP. You must stop thinking as you normally do and change into character you play. That include even thinking in character. The more you get into acting in character the better.

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

Metagaming- Using information or resources that are out of game to affect ingame decisions or actions, these leads to playing out of character. For example: if I have a problem with bandits rather than look for their camp in game, I enter forum and keep searching there for informations that will give me unfair advantage on my opponents.

Powergaming- Focusing mainly on character advance with goods or experience and ignoring important parts of gameplay such as story, acting in character, socializing and so on. Also not accepting bounds that your character have when staying in character. Fo example: petty criminal wont fight until death (like some berserker becouse his player dont like losing) with group of guards, but rather try to run and when cought, surrender.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

A new world with countless possibilities to play ones character.

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

Sacred Labirynth, imdeity, bashcraft, legendary craft, and others that I cant even remember. To many players with emo skins that ruin mood. Or too many players paying to distance themself from others.

In-Character:

"And I felt great fear, for His spirit stood before me, and mighty His strength was even in slumber of death. And great sadness i felt emanating from His mind when He spoke to me. And for many days He spoke and I listened, for when the story of betrayal kept going on, I did not need any food nor water. And when the moon raised ten times and sun set eleven times the story ended. And when the moon rised eleventh time i became the vessel for Truth and I came out of cave to my companions and told them everything. And Truth freed them."

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

Karanos was rised in a noble family but being fourth son he couldnt expect nothing more from his parents than his clothes and place to dine, at least as long as he would pay for this with hardwork. When he reached adulthood, Karanos left his home and lived by sword as a mercenary. He wandered between cities constantly searching for work. Though not master of sword, he had a talent and abilities in creating fortifications.

After years he managed to gather around him a small group of mercenaries that followed him. His life changed when on the edge of dying from battle wound he witnessed a vison. He saw a cave that stood in the middle of the great desert. Wind moved sand over the entrance and on top of it sat firebird calling him with a sharp cry. When Karanos woke up his wounds were healed. With haste he packed his things up and took his comrades on a pilgrimage across the world to look for a cave he saw in his vision. Many years passed on a travel until he finally reached his destination. Amidst the sands of desert Karanos and his companions found cavern, and he knew that this was his destination. Karanos entered cave and stayed inside for eleven days and nights. Upon that time some of his companions doubted and left, but two refused to abbondon their leader and remained waiting patiently amidst this lifeless land. When Karanos got out of the cave he was changed. He spoke of caverns that hid the spirit of long forgotten god, by the name of Exsul. When Karanos finished the tale he told his comrades that he was drawn to this cave by his destiny, which was to find every part of Exsul lost body so when the stars come right he could be revived. Karanos took an oath before the Cave of Exiled One and his companions joined him. And they created the Brotherhood of the Exile, with firebird who summoned them to this place as their crest. They swore to never rest until their Gods body will be retrived and placed back in His resting place. On top of the cave they build castle and named it Antrum Arx, and as a final step they entrusted Karanos with the title of the Highwarden, the master of the Brotherhood of the Exile.

-Karanos is brown haired and dark eyed man over 30 years old. He always wear coat with the crest of the Brotherhood and spent most of his time fortifying Antrum so that it can withstand any attack in time of need. He is calm and understanding to almost every living being but also fanaticaly devoted to his god. When in dire situation he refuse to fall back and instead risk everything to accopmlish his goal. Karanos is thankful to his god for he gave him a reason to live and a goal to accomplish.

***As requested I removed part that contained the description of religion my character follow.

Your characters ambitions:

To expand Brotherhood so that it can complete its only goal: gather all ender pearls and stones that give birth to endermans. Karanos believes that these are parts of Exsul sacred body that were stolen and hidden by the fisrt enderman.

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?

Seeing this scene Karanos walks calmly in their direction and draws a sword.-"In the name of Exiled One! Drop thy weapons, yield and face the judgement of the Brotherhood!"- Bandits back off from the fight surprised and watch carefully another opponent. -May the God be praised. You've come in the rigt time Knight. These scums..." Elf walks towrads Karanos with relief only to be stopped by sword raisen to his throat.-"What I said also goes for you, elf. Drop thy weapon and I will choose who is worthy my help."

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?

Tall man dressed in white robes on the chainmail ignored other customers, raised hand to his forehead and spoke: "Greetings, noble merchant. Im looking for scribe tools. Do you have these?" "Yes my lord, the finest paper you can find in this part of Asulon. And cheap too! For your lordship just 20 minas."-Eagirly answered shop owner.-"That price involve scalprum, I pressume."-Said Karanos with cold voice, raising his eyes to meet shop owner.-"Why, yes, yes of curse."-Qickly replies shopowner.-"And if your lordship are interested, I got my hands on really rare volumin that is perfect copy of long lost 'Propugnaculum' from great Al'Khazar library. If you would be so kind to wait a few moments..."-Karanos nodded:-Take yur time."-When shop owner left, Karanos reached and grabbed the hood of the young man standing next to him.-"Put it back on the shelf, lad."-Karanos spoke qietly to startled young man.-"Put it back, or I will cut off your hand right here."-Young man put on the shelf silver figurine that he recently grabbed and looked qickly at the door. Karanos nodded and one of customers walked to exit barring it and drawing his sword. Young man looked back at Karanos and saw that he also drew his weapon.-"Now, few weeks ago you stole something from ouer keep, Mathias, didnt you?"-Karanos grim voice made the thief shake in fear.-"You shouldnt have done that."

Other Information:

I do not want to change, expand or negate world of Lord of Craft history, mithology nor what can be found in it. The visions my character saw are true to him and his companions that believed him. I didnt stand anywhere that anypart of my character visons actually happened(It would be nice if they did, but if not, lets say that he had a nightmare from starvation and thirst). Firebird was also a part of vision, Karanos didnt met that animal in real life so it doesnt have to exist.

I have two friends who will join me as soon as ouer applications are accepted(their names are sacrevarius and sheunha).

You have fixed some things from your previous attempt, but you ignored other critiques. I stand by what I said last time, you are taking too much freedom. Please do not try and justify what you've done with your biography. It is not what we are looking for. I recommend rereading all of my critiques and carefully considering your next application.

Wait 24 hours before applying again.
