Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

I am outgoing, creative, and enjoy gaming. I especially play a lot of minecraft, and RP servers are my favorite kind.

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

I could be on at everyday during the week for about 2-3 hours a day. I'm usually busy on the weekends, but I still like to hop on the computer between events.

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

Roleplay is exactly what it sounds like: playing a role. You create a character and basically live as that character in-game. You make decision like that character would and interact with others within your characters personality.

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

Metagaming: the use of your relationships in real life to get ahead on other players. For example, I could ask an in-game ally in real life for information he has on a foe in-game, rather than in a roleplay setting, which could take longer.

Powergaming: basically role playing your character to be a dominating force in the game, and even making up abilities or powers to get ahead on foes. For example, if I were playing cops in robbers as a kid, and I was about to catch my "rober" friend, he could say "I put up a force feild!" and evade my handcuffs. It's simply not fair! I woud then run to my mom and cry about it, because that's how I roll. (all kidding aside, nobody likes a cheater.)

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I expect rich, deep roleplay (obivously), fantastic builds, interesting lore, and the forging of great friendships. I also look forward to be a part of a strong community.

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

As far as roleplay servers are concerned, I use to play on the Yogiverse RPG server before it was shut down. It was a very fine server, but it was constantly flooded with exploiters and crooks, and had to be shut down. A few freinds from the server stuck together and made a somewhat private server of our own. I've also played on the Evocatus server. It is a fun PVP server with many good plugins. I still play on that one, but I may decide to tone it down and make more room for LOTC, if I am accepted.

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

Yes, I have.

How did you hear about us?:

I heard about Lord of the Craft from the a user on the Yogscast.com forums.

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

Jakar grew up only with his parents in nameless planes on the edge Asulon. He was very sheltered as a child, unable to travel beyond the plain, as ordered by his parents. His duties included gathering seed for sowing, brush for making fires, and cleaning the house. These are the only duties his parents entrusted to him. Jakar was odd in his parent's eyes and not only because of his overwhelming enthusiam, but becuase of his overbearing longing for adventure. He constantly stared at the horizon, and he constantly asked about the curvature of the earth.

"I want to beyond the plains!" he'd say in excitment,

"Jakar, there is nothing but pain beyond the horizon. We keep you here because we love you." rebutted his parents.

Although Jakar knew that the love his parents had for him was true, he'd always longed for adventure.

Jakar grew into a strong, handsom, and tall young man, standing at 6 foot 2. In the summer of hi 15th year he was trusted to hunt with his father, Rudin, adn alone. He aquired great skill with the bow and arrow. One day while hunting by himself, he came across a a creature he'd never seen before. It has tall, black, and it stared at him for as along as Jakar stared back. It's peircing violet eyes were too feirce to keep in contact, and Jakar looked away. As soon as he did the creature was within a meter, swinging it's arms wildly at him with all of it's strength. Jakar felt a courage that he'd never felt before as the creature approached. He grabbed an arrown from his quiver, jumped towards the creature, can lunged the arrow head between its eyes. The creature creid a terrible scream as it breathed its last breaths. When it lied dead it turned to dust, a fine purple dust that was brushed away by the winds of the plain. What was left was a shiney, green, and nearly transparent pearl. That night Jakar hid his findings in his chest.

At in the beggining of that fall, Rudin left for a trip to the closest village, which was a fortnights trip. The coming winter woud be horrible, and they needed supplies to last the season. Rudin trusted Jakar to keep his mother, Eayown, safe while he was gone, and with that he left. One fortnight turned into 15 days, and from there 18. Jakar and his mother became worried.

"Mother, let me go look for him!" demanded Jakar to Eayown.

"Jakar, it is not safe for you! You have no knowledge of life beyond the plains!"

"Well let me gain that knowledge, and find my father. I cannot stay under your shelter for the rest of my life. I have to go."

"But you are not ready, Jakar."

With that Jakar ran to his chest and retreived the pearl he'd attained from the beast.

"See this? I got it when I killed a tall beast that haunted my steps. I dropped it with an arrow and took this pearl from its dreid corpse."

"Jakar! This is an enderpearl! If you throw it, it will break against the ground, allowing you teleport where it shatters. When you search for your father, keep it with you. Yu may need it along the way. I will be safe here in the plains, you know that. Go and find your father, Jakar."

And with his mother's blessing, Jakar left in search of his father. He left the plains for the first time, keeping the pearl close to him.

Jakar is now 25. His mother had died of old age, and although he had never found his father, Jakar beleives that one day he will see him again in either this ife, or the next. For now he devotes himself to learning everything about the world he was sheltered from as a boy. He keeps the pearl with him, and he had never used it before. It reminds him of his past and of his family, but now it's his time to adventure, and that is what he will do.

Your characters ambitions:

To explore all the lands and waters of Asulon. Adventure is what drives him.

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?

He would likely throw a well aimed stone, hitting one of the bandits across the head forcing their attention from the elf. When facing a combat situation he likes to stick to the shadows just before he attacks. After they wonder away from their previous engagment Jakar would spring into action using his skills with the short sword and hand to hand combat he'd learned in his many adventures. After finishing his business with th theives, he would check on the elf to see if he/she is ok, and carry on about his business. That is unless this elf is defenitly female, then he might try a bit of charm.

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?

"I'm famished! Show me the pork! I am also in need of light iron boots, as mine have been worn from gravel and dirt. Oh, and good day to you too, sir!"
