What do you know about Roleplaying?

In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. Metagaming is abusing your player skills or flaws of the game in your advantage. Like for example, Name a player for his real name just because you saw it in his name-box. In role play you have to ask before knowing trivial stuff.

In-Character:

Character Name: Fenrir

What is your Race?: Human

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Not much is known of Fenrir, He was born in a very humble family, Son of Aerys and Boron Pantheon. His mother died when he was 2, and his old man when he was 8. After that he had to live by his own, making errands for merchants and fishing in the Thris Ocean. One night he was caught robbing some food at the market, he spent 5 years in prison, while in the cell he promised himself to start a new life, in a new place, he want his life to be an example to all those poor people he knew far home. Fenrir is an ambitious person, selfish, but very honorable. Although he's selfish he'll always will help a fellow "Fish" (Thats how he call a poor person).

Your characters ambitions: Start a new life, live at maximum speed, meet new people, have new experiences. Like i said, live an example life.

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? Fenrir is selfish in one side, but his other side shows he's honorable and dutiful. That would probably go like this:

-Bandit 1- Handle your goods elf scum!

-Elf- Over my dead body!

-Bandit 2- Your choice.. Beorn kill him.

*Fenrir was hiding in the woods, analyzing the situation*

**Bandit 1 received a stone in the head**

-Bandit 1- WHAT WAS THAT!?, Grimgár come go over the woods, someone is in there.

*Fenrir unsheathed his old dagger, and in the moment Grimgár pass over the woods he grab him and shut his mouth, Held him hostage he reveals himself to Beorn and the elf.*

-Fenrir- You leave in peace that poor elf or i'll kill your friend

-Bandit 2 (Beorn)- Grimgár how did this happened?

-Bandit 1(Grimgár)- I don't know he grabbed...

-Fenrir- You Shut your mouth. You decide, his life or nothing, because when i'm done with him, you're next..

-Bandit 2 (Beorn)- OK.. I'll go, but you'll hear of us again. Don't come over Elrond tabern, or you'll be sorry.

-Fenrir- Blah blah blah, Get away and don't return.

*While the bandits run away, he approaches the elf*

-Elf- Thanks kind man

-Fenrir- Your welcome, can you offer me some food?

-Elf- Of Course, you saved my life kind sir.

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? Hello Sir, What do you have me to offer? And if you'll be so kind can you tell me the latest news around here?.

Your application has been:

Denied

Do not worry though; this does not mean you cannot apply again, quite the contrary! After 24 hours you may apply again which gives you plenty of time to fix up your application, plan it out as well as use all of this advice which I have given you in this post to make your application one of the best. Please check the links at the bottom of this post, they will help you quite a bit.

You have been denied because:

You have an incorrect definition for powergaming.

Luckily for you there are plenty of ways to learn the correct definition. First of all you can look on the lord of the craft wiki and then search for "Powergaming", you can join our Team Speak channel (You can get Team Speak from http://teamspeak.com/?page=downloads ), or you can do a google search.

You need to write a lot more for your biography.

Your biography is too short and needs some expansion. Please include the entire question when writing your biography such as your characters history, personality, description and age. With the description don’t just write He is tall and old and carries around a bow. There are a lot of tall, old people who carry around bows. Get descriptive; what is your hair colour? How long? Eye colour? Big eyes? Small eyes? Do you have wrinkles? How tall are you? Are you muscled or slim but agile?

You also need to add your characters strengths and weaknesses as well as reasons for such. For example, if your character is good at swordsmanship, bows or even farming you need to explain in your biography why your character is so good in what it does and how it developed these skills.

We would like you to include some lore from the world of Aegis and/or Asulon such as names of towns and people, or even events which have happened before and your characters connection to the event. You can find all about the lore of Lord of the Craft here: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page,'>http://www.lordofthecraft.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page, or in the lore/history sections of the forum and website. The types of lore you can include can people places such as towns and kingdoms, or even people or events (such as the exodus from Aegis to Asulon which affected almost everyone).

You need to improve both the RP situation answers.

"Blah blah blah" is not suitable for an RP situation answer.

You need to write a lot more for the second one. Everyone (and I mean everyone) just writes that they buy something, and leave. What is that? It shows a lack of effort in my opinion. All you have to do is use your imagination, create something innovative, exciting and fun for the reader. There are endless possibilities, for example you could write that the shop keeper is actually a bandit who is luring victims into his shop and then he gets his thug friends to come in from the rear to block your escape, or perhaps the shop keeper tries to cheat you of an item and you respond by calling the guards and something exciting happens. Even if you want nothing interesting to happen at all, be as descriptive as you can about everything that happens in the situation. The possibilities are endless; all you have to do is be creative.

You have not included a skin for your application.

For me to accept you I must be able to view your skin as I need to judge whether it is acceptable for this server, reason being if someone joins this server, but do not show their skin but they have a Tron skin on I would be in big trouble. This is one of many ways to upload a picture of your skin and embed it into your application:

1. Go in-game and press the “F5” button TWICE. (Not once as this will show the back of your character)

2. Take a screen shot by pressing the "PrntScr" button on a windows computer or press F2 on the keyboard, then go to start => Run and type in this: %appdata%/.minecraft/screenshots

3. Find the screenshot and open it in an image manipulation program such as Paint or Gimp.4. Crop the image so that only the area close to your skin (including the skin) remains.

5. Save the file and go to tinypic.com

6. Upload the file

7. Click ONCE on the text box underneath: "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards"

8. Right click and copy the entire text

9. Paste in your new application

*Note* If you want a tutorial for Macs, please send me a message on the forums.

Please wait 24 hours or your application will be instantly denied.

This gives you a chance to have a cup of tea and read all of which I have provided, then give you a break and a fresh mind to re-write your application in the required areas. This is also to prevent the spamming of applications, as if there was no limit we would be absolutely swamped with applications.

Please do send a PM my way if you are having any trouble understanding the application process or my feedback, I would be glad to help you. :)

Good luck for your next application!
