[Nicharathas 0]

I am sorry I didn't see the new format on these forums.

Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name: Nicharathas

How old are you?: 13

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: U.S.A. EST

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I would say I do have a good grip on the english language. I use shortened form of words on servers due to the fact it is faster, but I understand an elf would not say "lol".

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

I am an 8th grader with a dog. I play the piano and love minecraft. I am smart and nerdy.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: 3-4 hours each weekday. 8-12 hours each weekend. I may have temporary conflicts, but these are my average times.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying is essentially acting. I know that on a server, you have to talk, move, and fight like the character you are portraying. You can't ever break character on a roleplaying server because it messes up the entire atmosphere. Also, in roleplaying you need to take cues. If someone walks up to you and says, "Hand over all of your money" you can't say "Would you like to buy a pick?" Denying someone else's reality just messes up the entire feeling that makes roleplaying great.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I am an actor. I have been the lead in many of our school's plays, so I know about roleplaying in that sense. While I played World Of Warcraft, I tried out a couple of roleplaying servers, and they were very fun.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Metagaming is when you use information that your in-game character doesn't know, but you learned in real life to benefit your character. For example, if my charter was in a desert, and I found online that an orc village was nearby, and I went to the village, it would be Metagaming. It messes up roleplaying. yoau should have to discover the village. If you discover it, you get a feeling of satisfaction, and you don't mess up the server for everyone else.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Powergaming is when you come up with things that your character can do, or does on the spot. For example, if you walk up to someone, and you say "You are my slave, because I have this wood axe," is power gaming. It is like denying someone's reality, and it also messes up the experience for everyone.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I think that this server will be like a mix of World Of Warcraft and Minecraft. I left World Of Warcraft because I didn't like Blizzard making all of my decisions. And even with certain decisions that should have been left to me, if I made the "wrong" choice, my skill level decreased. I do miss being able to complete great quests, and slay crowds of people like I could in World Of Warcraft.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I played on Pawncraft for a bit. I left it for one of my friend's private sever. I have played on many private servers owned by me and my friends. They were all boring, and collapsed within a week of being created.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: I have read all rules, and they seem fair. I don't know what a soulstone is, but I am sure to catch on.

Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules: I will always abide by these laws, and if I question whether something is legal, I will not hesitate to ask.

How did you hear about us?: I saw you on many websites that have lots of big servers. I finally decided to click. Your logo and name always stuck out.

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you?: I voted on Minecraftservers.net because that is what the link on minecraft forums lead me to.

I am 7 feet tall. I have a handsome, long face. My hair is a light brown, and goes down to my shoulders. I am 127 years old. I am very outgoing. I love all races, and am eager to meet new people. I am a hater of evil and criminals. I will not hesitate to help a beggar or someone in trouble if I can. I am a traveling bard. I love to play the lute. I travel from inn to inn, playing for the crowds. It is a good life, and the money isn't bad. When I pluck my fingers on my beloved lute, kings from the world around stop and listen to my music. My mother was a famous bard. I always loved it when she played for me as a baby.

One day, when I was 75, she went on a trip. I was accustomed to these. They generally took a week. After two weeks had passed, me and my sister became very worried. Our father was a terrible man. He was abusive to us and our mother. Whenever she left, he always wasted the money she earned on drink at the pub. After a month of his daily beatings, me and my sister escaped. We had been searching for my mother for a year, surviving by taking up her trade and performing for food. I lost my sister in the middle of the forest after ten year of searching for my mother. I still vowed to continue on my quest. I still play from inn to inn, and manage to continue migrating from place to place in search of my mother. I have found clues, but that is the most. I fear she may be dead. For now, I continue searching for her. I have become a man in the process. I am acquainted with basic arms. I am not a warrior, but I am prepared to shead blood if I ever encounter my mother.

Open-Response-Questions

Whilst traveling from the Cloud Temple you see a small halfling, being harassed by two armed warriors. They appear to be trying to steal money from him, how does your character respond? I would slowly creep behind a pillar. I would un-sheath my bow and arrows. I would pull back my bow and slay one of the poor boy's harassers. Then, I would charge on the next, and fight him with my sword.

Your character wanders into Alras, and comes across a small stall, behind which a well dressed man is standing. He’s offering various wares, the merchant turns to you and says in a posh accent " 'ello there, what can I do you for today?" What is your character response? "Oh, just wondering around, looking at the shops. I love all of your wares. You know, I am playing tonight at the inn down the road, I hope to see you there. But I am in need of some food, do you happen to have any?"

Whilst wandering in the wilds, your character comes across a small hut, which looks abandoned. Inside it you see a chest containing a few iron bars, and a golden sword. How would your character respond?: I take everything in the chest. If it is an abandoned house, then no one will be missing the valuables. I probably need it for armor.

Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you you in the common tongue, how do you respond? "I just had the best haul today! I managed to steal 150 coins from a beggar!" If they respond with praise, I would leave immediately knowing this is a camp of robbers. If they respond with anger, I would tell them my strategy of deciphering whether people are good and evil. I would hope they would let em stay the night.

You hear word that bandits occupy the road outside the town in which you have been staying. The town guard have gathered, and are asking for assistance to help eliminate them. The leader of the party is offering a reward for any who offer their support. How does your character act on this information?: I would immediately help the guard. I would do it even if there wasn't money involved. Battle narratives can be great songs. I also hate bandits, and protecting our towns from them is very important.

- Explain more on roleplaying not World of warcraft

- If you expecting this to be like World of warcraft, it is not. It is kinda lord of the rings feel, expect this got its own lore. Discuss what this would be like not what you did in world of warcraft. There is signs of not trusting you, you looked like you want PVP the most.

-Bio is kinda rough, did not explain how you learn these skills.

-Your skin looks like a soldier than a bard

Please wait to re-apply.
