Minecraft Account Name: Lord_RavenClaw54

How old are you?: 13

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: EST GMT-5 (Massachusetts)

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

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I have recently been sucked into the world of minecraft, and ever since I have never been able to stop. I have just been playing on single player right now, and want to join a fun and enjoyable server.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Weekdays 1-2 hours, Weekends anywhere from 3-5 hours

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: I know that roleplaying is diving into a completely different world, as a completely different character. To me it is playing as someone perhaps based on who you strive to be, but in a whole roleplaying is becoming a different person, and playing as that person.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I have never actually had any experience but I catch on quick, and am a fast learner :)

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-gaming would be when you learn something out of character and use it to your advantage in-game. Say you learned about a war on the forums, your character wouldn't know of this war yet so you couldn't tell people of it in game.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power gaming is doing something unrealistic as your character. Say you were a little halfling and you said that your character defeated an orc, this would never happen, because halflings rarely fight, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to defeat an orc.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect to have a great experience as my character and have a great time roleplaying. I also want to even make some new friends in real life as well as in character. Overall I just want to have a great time with this amazing community that has been built here.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have never actually played on another server, as I said I have just recently gotten minecraft and haven't had much time to explore the different server. However, I still will be able to deliver some great rp to the server :)

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes I have, I think all the rules are fair, and should be strongly enforced.

Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules: I solemnly promise.

How did you hear about us?: My brother told me about you, he was told by his friend of this great community and when I heard of it I new I wanted to join right away.

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you?: Yes, I have and I believe I was vote 3,061.

Biography (Please make this at least 2 paragraphs long. This must include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):

Day and night he traveled. Through snowy mountains, and harsh deserts. He met many on the way, fellow halflings, humans, and the occasional orc, which he wisely hid from. Many nights he almost gave up the strain of days of travel was almost too much, but the thought of meeting his fellow halflings pushed him forward. He dreamt of once again holding a sturdy hoe in his hand, and grinning as he collects wheat from the massive farms. And then one day he saw the majestic bridges across the river passing through the town of Branborough.

The inhabitants of the town welcomed him. It wasn't every day they met a new halfling. They saw his messy brown hair, brown jacket and green undershirt. He looked weary from travel but still young, probably about 20 years of age. As he settled into the town he lead a calm and peaceful life. He would farm and gather his necessary wheat and watermelon, he would eat and drink some ale with his friends, and then one day, when he was really comfortable and settled in, he told his story.... "I grew up in a small lit'le house far away from others. I lead a peaceful life, until one terrible day. A storm began to brew overhead, nothing to unusual yet, but then the wind began howling, and the sound of marching could be heard in the distance. Everyone was silent in my home, the sounds came to our porch, to our door, and then, they burst inside. They were horrible things, with dark skin, and light hair, they took out swords and daggers, and my father and mother hurried me into my bedroom, where I hid in the closet. I could hear the chains being attached to my parents ankles and wrists, and then the door slammed shut, I thought I was okay, then I smelled smoke. I frantically opened the door of my bedroom to find a fire starting in my parent's room. I was easily able to get outside, and I watched as my house burned down."

What is your Character's ambitions?:

He wants to forget of all the terrible things he has faced throughout his life. He never wants to see the image of his house burning in his mind ever again. He just wants a peaceful life, no violence is needed.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Hoe, it can be used for farming, to lean on, even to whack someone with when you're angry with them, har har.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Farming is his greatest talent, he grew up doing it, and has been doing it his entire life, he never plans on stopping.

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format):

Other Information about your Character: He wants to help his community prosper, and he doesn't want to witness anything that can remind him of... that day.

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? He would walk up to the harassers and say, "hey you two! why are you harassing this 'un here?" he would grab the halfling and push the others away, if they try to stop him, he would try his hardest to get away, but he is also only a halfling, and would have trouble escaping.

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? "do you have any nice hoe's or farming material? I need to become a better farmer!"

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?: He would see the sword and leave it behind, how would a halfling use a sword anyway, but when he sees the iron bars, his dwarven ancestry jumps in, and he greedily grabs them.

Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you in the common tongue, how do you respond? I would ask them what materials they carry, and try and get a friendly conversation going.

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?: He is a halfling, and barely knows how to hold a sword, he knows he would be of no use to these people, and would carry on with his day.
