Bearblock's 2Nd Application

[Bearblock 1]

IMPORTANT: I didn't see anywhere I had to wait 24 hours for a new application. I woke up this morning, followed instructions by the Application Team and then continued to write and post this application. I didn't have any question so I did not look at the FAQ, hence I didn't know about the 24 hour timespan. Please don't instantly deny this application because I didn't know that.

Thank you kindly :)

Old app incase you want to see the critic that one got: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/43069-bearblocks-whitelist-application/page__p__306748__hl__bearblock__fromsearch__1#entry306748

Out-Of-Character:

Minecraft Account Name: Bearblock

Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?: No, I didn't visit MineCon because I live in Europe and found it too expensive to go there.

How old are you?: I am 14 years old.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: GMT+1, Netherlands (West Europe)

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

Yes, on servers like this I always try to have the best language and make very little grammar mistakes, even though English is not my main language.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

I am a young boy, although I am quite high in school already. I really like drawing and history. I plan on studying Archaeology in a few years when I go to university. I am also a somewhat skilled writer (In my opinion, ofcourse.)

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

I think I could be atleast 2 or 3 hours per day, the moments I don't have much schoolwork. When I have a lot to do for school I tend to be online atleast 1 hour still, on holidays and weekends I can be online up to 8 hours a day, but I most likely won't do that.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.: I have been on many roleplay servers, some better than the others. To me, roleplaying means that you create your own character and have your character do something, from surviving on a island to adventuring. I have played both minecraft server roleplays and forum writing roleplays.

In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. Metagaming is simply that you use information for your character that he/she could not possibly know, for example: Someone telling you coords to someone's house, followed by you going there and stealing from here.

Powergaming is (I think) somewhat the same as godmodding. You take decisions for other players, and you don't give him a chance to do anything.

Example:

Bob (me): I will bring you to jail!

Charles: *pulls out sword* Then you have to defeat me!

Bob: No, I caught you already.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I hope this server to have a nice, active community, impressive buildings and fun roleplay. I really enjoy roleplaying on minecraft server and when you have more players the roleplaying will increase.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have played for a long time on a few servers:

- Honorcraft, I played here for 6 months and then it got shutdown.

- Aretecraft, A true roleplay server, it shut down because of a lack of money and donations.

- Honorcraft Reloaded. Same staff and community as the old one, I still play here but I just missed roleplay so I decided to seek a new roleplay server.

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

Yes, I have.

How did you hear about us?:

I asked some friends for a minecraft roleplay server and both answered me to check out this server.

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you? Yes I have, and I must honestly tell you I didn't see a number, but when I go there now the adress bar says id=4137 so I am assuming that is my number.

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

Bearblock

In-Character:

Character Name: Grakor Warrax

What is your Race?: I chose to be part of the orc race.

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Grakor is a traditional orc, combative, aggressive, big, very strong. He was born in a small settlement. Like all childs in his clan, he was not raised by his parents. Instead, the childs were raised by a special group, chosen to raise the childs of the clan to make sure they would fit in. Grakor was taught many arts and skills at very young age, to quickly find the best future for the little orc. Ofcourse he was also trained in combat.

Grakor was one of the weaker fighters in his clan, at a later age, all he did was train just to keep up with the rest of his friends.

The things that Grakor was good at, were art(war-tattoos, clan banners, wall decoration etc.), construction and crafting. When he was a tad older, he enjoyed making and decorating weapons and paint war-tatoos on his friends. This ability made him loved by almost everyone in the clan. On this day he still makes weapons and banners. Grakor has also been in many battles with mostly dwarves and humans.

Grakor prefers large blunt weapons instead of the sword. He mostly uses a very large bearded axe, made and decorated by himself Grakor also has a good view on art and architecture, he is one of the better constructors of his clan. (before you read on, the old app-reviewer said there are no siege weapons in LotC. I assumed there were because the wiki tells about them.) Grakor has built many buildings in his hometown, walls, towers, houses, temples. Ofcourse they don't match the intelligent constructions the humans and the elves have, but it is really good work by orcish standards.

Grakor has a gray-green tinted skin. He is of average lenght. He comes from a nomadic bloodline, however he prefers to stay in settlements instead of travelling. He wears leather clothing, he is bald and he also doesn't wear a helm.

Grakor is still relatively young, aging only 34 years, or 136 orcish seasons.

He is protective towards his family, clan and homeplace. Everything that comes too close or makes signs of harming his belongings will end up with several crushed bones, often not surviving this. Like all other orcs he eats and drinks a lot, therefor he hunts animals on a daily base.

Your characters ambitions: Grakor is a skilled engineer. He knows how to build any orcish siege weapon as well can he build impressive constructions around the settlement or town he resides in.

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?

Leave the elf alone!

What!? Who is that?

Overthere, it's an orc!

*In the confusion, the elf manages to back off a little bit, safe from the bandits.*

*Grakor runs at the two bandits and makes a gigantic swing with his axe*

*One of the bandits quickly jumps back, the other desperately holds up his shield*

*Grakor's axe slams on the shield with an unbelievable strenght. The bandit drops to the ground from the impact.*

*Meanwhile, the elf took his bow and aims at the other bandit*

You! Get out of my sight and never come back! *Holds axe high above his head*

Y.y..yes..sir..

*The other bandit takes his companion by the shoulders and drags him away in the forest*

Raargh! If I ever see your face again I will bury you 10 feet deep in the ground!

*Elf slowly walks up to the orc*

Thank you for saving me.

*grunt* It's fine.

*Grakor walks away*

Wait!

Grhmm?

Do you want any reward? Money? or food?

Nuh, don't pay me for what I had to do

Your character walks up to a shop in the middle of a human city. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer? Grrmph. I am looking for strong metal.

Oh, you mean iron right? How much do you want to buy?

No, no iron. I want the shiny metal!

Sir wants gold! A marvellous choice!

I need it for decorating weapon.

That's alright matey! How many do you need?

All I can get for this money. *takes a handfull of coins and drops it on the counter*

Let's see...10..20...25.30.. *Counts the money*

I can give you 12 golden bars for that amount.

Thank you.

*The shopkeeper puts the money away, takes the gold and puts it on the counter*

*Grakor puts it in his bag and walks away*

Farwell, human.

Although you have not used any of the "normal" lore, you have definately done your research on other parts of the server.

There are many "grey-areas" in LOTC. While the Wiki may say one thing, the general consensus may say another. This is such for seige weapons.

I reccomend you look here:

http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/24133-orc-important-threads/

It is seriously an all-you-need

Especially bookmark the Orc Dictonary :)

Please be patient as it can take a GM up to a day or so to promote you in game. If you have any questions in the mean time, feel free to contact me on the forums! :)

Welcome to Asulon! :D
