Znes6's 2Nd Server Application

[Zayden (Znes6) 17]

Out-Of-Character:

Minecraft Account Name:

Znes6

Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?:

Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend due to a school trip to Carnegie Hall, in addition I didn't even know about LOTC at the time.

How old are you?:

14 1/2

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:

The United States/GMT-5:00

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

Definitely, I attend a extremely prestigious school which strictly emphasizes English/grammar. I've written dozens of essays and read numerous books to a point where I think my English skills far surpass exceptional.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

As stated beforehand I'm 14 and live in the U.S, I love sports, I play(ed) on my school's soccer and cross country team, while playing basketball in a house league. I attend Thomas Jefferson High School and I intend to be a military officer when I grow up. Even though in this application it's going to seem as I'm a very formal person, this is because this is an application and I take it very seriously, although I'm a very easy-going guy in real life and will act that way in the server.

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

My daily schedule is quite heavy so I should be able to squeeze in a hour or more on weekdays and 3 or 4 on weekends, so around 12 hours on a good week.

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

Quite frankly I don't know that much, I first got into RPGs earlier this year when I purchased Skyrim and had tons of fun with that. Role playing is the skill of being another person, engaging in daily activities, socializing, and life in general to your best of abilities. You guide your character through various scenarios choosing the best way to go about life in YOUR opinion.

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

Basically metagaming is when you use information that aren't meant to be with role play to gain an advantage on others in game. It's a crime in RPG servers and is dealt with accordingly. An example of Metagaming is using the name above someones minecraft character to identify them. Power gaming is when you make your character the optimal person with little to no flaws. This makes the power gamers over powered.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I expect it to be tons of fun where I can basically relax and meet other people who have the same interests as me. I've watched many videos about Lord of the Craft on youtube so I think I have a good feel on what it would be like. Personally I think role playing would be more interesting than regular minecraft because there's always something new going on.

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

I've played on many servers but I really on stuck to 3 of them. These included Revalior Gaming, Blueshift-Gaming, and Crimson Craft. Revalior was my first real server I played on, I got to Game Master but quickly found that the server wasn't what I had hoped to find.

Blueshift-Gaming was by far my favorite server to this point. I played from the beginning of its creation during the Summer of my transition between middle school and high school. I played actively and quickly advanced through the ranks, finally ending up as a Super Admin while also reviewing staff applications alone. I owned a town and was EXTREMELY active on the forums, second only to the owner himself. I still play on the server but it's become repetitive and quite frankly, boring. After spending 7 months on the server I decided that I should step down and now am just a VIP, coming on occasionally.

Crimson Craft was my most recent server but after spending 1 month on it I realized it was basically a worse copy of Blueshift because it's owner/staff were ex-blueshift members.

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

Yes, I've spent the past 3 days studying up on the forums and looking at various guides.

How did you hear about us? Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you?

I learned about LOTC from a moderator in Blueshift who showed me his new skin a week ago, saying it was for this cool role playing server he played on. He showed me around the server via screen share on skype and since then I have been checking out the forums and youtube videos about the server, finally deciding today to make an application. I'm new to minestatus.net but I managed to vote for the server. I was vote 2670 if I remember correctly but I may be wrong.

What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name?

Znes6, I try to keep my names the same thing to avoid confusion.

In-Character: 　

Character Name:

Lance Shawl

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.):

My character, Lance, was born to a poor family. He has brown hair and hazel eyes. As much as he trys not to, his body always has a golden tan, he is of a stocky build with thick bones, even at birth. His mother died in child birth and as a result his father was a bitter shell of what he used to be. His father, Robert Shawl, quickly fell into a depression by the time Lance was 6. Starvation would insue unless Lance took over the family farm. Somehow he was able to keep a small section of the farm alive and keep him and his father well fed. This continued until Lance was 11, by this time he had brought the farm back to its original state. His muscles were large and work ethic even larger. His father was even starting to break out of his depressed state.

But that was not how god willed it to be, and soon tradegy arrived. 5 villians entered their home, deadly blades drawn. Lance had been sleeping but woke up to see the villians repeatedly stabbing his father. In Lance's own cloud of rage and recklessness he tried to fight the villians with a pitch fork, but only managed to be nailed in the side of the head, falling concussed to the floor.

When he woke up a day later, he saw his father dead, but with no recollection of his life before that night. Taking a solemn oath, Lance promised to purge the land of Asulon of crime. Years passed as Lance worked on the farm, making sufficient funds to stock up for when he finally left the farm to begin his journey. In his spare time Lance practiced with sword and bow but found that these weapons were something that couldn't be mastered with just hard work and practice; he needed a real master to train him in the ways of weaponry.

Finally, at the age of 23, Lance knew, no felt, that the time was right, and set off on his long promised journey. He collected all of his minas, sold his farm, and set off towards the cloud temple. The cloud temple is where his biography ends, as it is yet to be decided. Will he continue on his quest to destroy evil? Or will he become the very essence he is trying to destroy? It all starts at the cloud temple, where his real life begins.

Your characters ambitions:

My player, Lance, is determined to spread justice throughout the world. He believes that the best way to fight evil is to be trained by a master for swords and bows. Because of this he plans to head out to Al'Khazar He also is trying to regain his memory which he lost in a fight between villians at the age of 11. Because of his memory loss he still believes his mother is alive and searches for her as well.

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?

My character would quickly analyze the situation, noting that if he joined in the odds would be even. Lance would probably jump into the fight without a shred of thought towards his own personal safety due to his recklessness. But, his sword skills are below average, the end result is questionable but most likely the elf's magic and Lance's determination would overpower the bandits.

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?

My character would politely ask for some ale. He would then spark up a conversation really just full of small talk including, where are you from, do you enjoy your job, etc.
