Minecraft Account Name: Lord_RavenClaw54

How old are you?: 13

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: EST, GMT-5

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

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I'm a fun person, who can be funny at times and serious at other times. Although I have only recently gotten minecraft, I am a quick learner, and am already quite good.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Weekdays 2-3 hours, weekends 3-5 hours

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying is when you take on a new character, it can be anyone, well anyone relevant to the game, you explore the world as that new person.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I have not had any experience with roleplaying before but I am a fast learner, and I'm sure I will catch on quick.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta gaming is using information you learned out of character, to benefit yourself in game. An example would be if you learned about a secret raid on a town on the forums, you wouldn't know about it as your character, so you couldn't tell anyone about it, or it would be metagaming.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Powergaming is when you do something unrealistic as your character. For example, say you were a halfling, and you got into a fight with an orc, and won, this would be power gaming because halflings don't fight, and even if they did, the orc would easily beat him.

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.):

As the human boat nears the shore of the new lands Sentor takes in a deep breath. He is a bit worried, he doesn't know what he will find here, and who he will meet. He reminisces of his old town of Dunwood, he misses it so much, and hopes everyone he knew from there made it to the ships. There is a slight bump as the the ship digs into the soft sand and comes to a halt. Everyone is nervous, so no one gets off yet. One by one the ship empties, everyone is eventually gone, except Sentor, he wearily heads toward the edge of the ship, and jumps.

The new land, the new water, a new life. He steps onto the beach, where there is a swirling mass of people scared and worried looking for their loved ones. He sees a few tents and heads up toward them. After taking a small time to gather himself he asks where he may find his fellow halflings, and he is told they are trying to set up a village like everyone else. He stayed in the new temple, waiting for news of his kin, and one day, he gets a bird, telling him of a halfling village called Branborough. His new life begins today.

When Sentor arrived in the new land he was welcomed by the other halflings. They saw a young halfling, probably about 20 years old. His brown jacket and pants, and white undershirt were worn and tattered from journey. His hair was brown and messy, his eyes, dark brown like soil, and his lips curled into a massive grin. He was happy to finally be home.

What is your Character's ambitions?:

he wants to help his community grow and prosper. To do this he'll help on the farms, fish do anything he can in order to help. He never wants anyone to ever feel as alone as he did at the temple.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): His favorite tool is a hoe. He uses it in the fields to fertilize the soil and collect wheat and watermelon. If he is ever attacked by a monster he can hit it with his hoe, he can lean on it, show it off to others, anything he wants, a hoe is perfect.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Sentor is a very skilled farmer. In the land of Aegis he farmed as a young boy. He grew up farming, grew up around others who farmed, grew up in a community focused on farming, and he will continue farming in this new town he has just arrived in.

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

Other Information about your Character: After experiencing such solitude at the temple, Sentor has grown to love a simple thing, the presence of others. He will never forget those lonely days and nights, and he will never take the gift of company for granted, he will treasure it dearly, forever.

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? As soon as I see the halfling I want to go help, but then I think, I am no help to him, I'm no bigger thank him, no stronger... but I can't leave him. So I would reluctantly walk over to the poor halfling, and shout, "Hey, you two!" as their heads turn I begin to second guess my decision, but I stand strongly and surely and say, "Leave this halfling alone!" if they come after me, I would have no choice but to run, but if they ignore me, I would shout again, as they walk toward me, I motion for the halfling to run, as I must do as well, hopefully I am quicker than these two men.....

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? "Hello good sir, I was hoping for some farming materials, do you have any hoes, or seeds, or even cattle, you see I come from a race of farmers and herders, so I could always use some things to help me out on the farm!"

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 see the iron bars and greedily grab them with wide eyes, and a watering mouth, I can thank my dwarven ancestry for that. Then, as I see the golden sword I think, "what will I be able to do with a golden sword, I don't even know how to hold the damn thing! But, I could sell it" I then shake my head, it would just add extra weight to carry, and make my journeys harder.

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 would kindly respond to the people, "Hello there, this is quite a nice camp ye have here." I would get a friendly conversation going, and as the sun sets behind me I would kindly ask, "would ye mind allowing me to sleep here for the night, I don't want to be killed by those damned monsters that come out in 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?: "The reward sounds quite nice to me," I think, "but I would be of no help, I am a mere halfling, I can't fight, I would just be one other body to pick up out on the battleground" I then make the wise decision to stay back, and continue on with my day.

You have not been denied this time. You have been accepted! It was a nice application to read and I like the fact that you are a farmer.

I hope for everyone on the server that you will be able to provide us with plenty of food, as there are many famines.

~~~~~

The main parts of the application I liked were in your RP part. You are one of the rare people who don't have the ambition of becoming a super warrior or something of the sort. I laughed at the part with your favorite tool. "Woo a hoe!"

I have to always tell people this though, your power-gaming definition is neither right nor wrong. Its the one everyone thinks it is, and it is what you say but we are looking for the other definition. Just check some other apps to see, so you don't do it in-game.

Nevertheless I let this pass, its not so important anyway, especially if you get the point and show a good potential RP. And by the way, your first app could have easily been accepted depending on the person reviewing it. There was nothing 'wrong' about it. The main point is that: things that don't happen or exist on the server, don't exist (like towns, islands). I interpret yours as coming from Aegis on a boat. SO ITS FINE. [and you use a 'recent' event]

~~~~~

Welcome to the world of Asulon, Sentor the Halfling. Please liberate us from the famine and give us watermelons! *om nom nom*
