Advantus Plinius' Application

[testingtestingtesting 1]

Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name:

Slothaid

How old are you?:

I'm fourteen Years old, my birthday is the Twenty-Second of June.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:

I live in the United Kingdom, and my time zone is GMT +0.

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

I believe I do. I've been talking English all my life. Obviously, I make some mistakes, but that's only natural.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

I'm a fourteen year old guy. I'm in top-classes at School, and I hate sports. I've been playing Minecraft for quite a while, and I'm in some forms, a hardcore gamer.

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

That really does depend. Every day, maybe three hours? On weekends, maybe five. So... around 20-26?

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

Roleplaying to me, is taking the place of a character that you have created and developed. You always need to play as that character, and act as if you were him, or her. You need to take the position in that characters life, and take on his/her appearance, personality and mind-set.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?:

I've had quite a bit of experience in roleplaying. I've played a few roleplay servers, and I play roleplaying games, although, they aren't really this type of roleplaying, if you understand me?

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is:

Metagaming is when you take information that you have learnt, out-of-character and using it in-character to further yourself. An example is using the nametag from above someones head, and calling them by that, if you've never met them.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is:

Powergaming is when you go and do something in roleplay to someone which gives them no chance to react. You pretty much "god-mode" yourself, and force them into something. An example of this, is me emoting *Advantus tackles the man to the floor, and stabs a knife into his neck, killing him instantly*

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I expect Lord of the Craft to be a roleplay experience that I can look forward to, and always enjoy. I aim to be as immersed as possible in the server, and have a very fun experience. I can tell that it is already filled with experienced roleplayers, and I look forward to playing with them.

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

I don't fancy going into names, but I've played on a couple of roleplay servers, but they had groups of meta and powergamers on them, and it really ruined the experience. I've also played a few SMP servers, but it's not really the greatest fun.

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

I read through the rules, and they appear to be fair enough. I promise to abide by said rules.

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

As I stated in the previous question, I do indeed. I shant brake them.

How did you hear about us?:

A few of the guys on the other roleplay server's I've played on, were talking about you. Kinda made me want to check you out, and after reading the lore it appeared to be quite a detailed server.

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you?:

Hm. I don't really vote, unless I've played the server, so no I haven't voted yet.

In-Character:

I enjoy playing as unique characters, so my character will speak like the in-character section is written.

Character Name:

M' name is, Advantus Plinius, what's it tae you son?

What Race are you?:

Thought it'd be quite obvious, y'know? I'm clearly a man lad, eh?

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race):

I'm fae the North, although, I'd nae really label ma'sel' as a 'alflin' y'ken?

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.):

I was born tae a young woman, and a older man. I grew up in Alk'hazar, with me mither, and me fether, quite a fun childhood, I'd say. *smiles* As y'ken tell, I'm a fermer. Accent, 'n' al'. I'm a cheery man, enjoy a good bit o' banter wi' me friends. I also enjoy a gid pint o' ale, y'know? Especially, that Dwarven' stuff - damn good.

I dinnae really hae much o' a wardrobe, or anythin'. All me clothes look the same, a white tunic, with brown breeches. I cannae see why some people seem t' wear more than that y'know. I got me brown eyes, fae my mither. Hair fae me fether. Both brown, y'see? Apparently, I'm quite tanned as'wel'! I dinnae think I am of course, I just see masel' as yer average Joe - a kind man, 'appy to help, 'n' all.

OOC: He's a farmer, who was born in Alk'hazar to a human man and female. He's a good farmer, and he enjoys a good laugh. Especially a pint of ale, and prefers dwarven ales. He has brown eyes, and brown hair, and his skin is fairly tanned. He believes he's the average human male, and also thinks that people who have loads of different pairs of clothes are quite stupid - of course, he's entailed to his opinion, and will only look down on those who change clothes often, but he wont ever hurt them, he'll only ever hit someone in self-defense. He's too jolly a fellow to go around smacking everyone. He aims to be your average farmer, and to have a family, with a wife and kids. That's all he really wants, nothing spectacular like some - just a happy life. He is religious, and prays on a daily basis to Aeriel.

What is your Character's ambitions?:

What'dae I want me life to be like y'say? Well, I really just want masel' a kind woman, and a few bairns, y'ken? Just somthin' I can be proud of, and think aboout when am on the ferms.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):

By far mae hoe, is me favourite thing. I love it, it's perfect for everythin', especially me fermin'! *grins broadly*

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?

What dae I dae best ye say? Well, obviously growin' me wheat, y'know? It's something I've been brought up dae'ing, and I dinnae intend on stoppin' it or anythin' - it's a way o' life.

Other Information about your Character:

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?

Advantus would slowly skulk past, trying to not be noticed, whilst taking mental notes on the situation. One of the warriors is wielding a diamond axe, the other a mere iron sword. Both are shielded by their leather armour. Advantus stands, in his pathetic clothing, with nothing but a stone dagger by his side, watching from the shadow. After a few minutes, he confirms to himself the halfling is actually in danger, and proceeds to jog to the nearby town of Roseus Aquila, where he calls for the nearby guard, and alerts him of the troubles on the roads. Hopefully, the guard pays heed to the information, and dispatches a couple of his men to the area where the halfling was being mugged, to deal with the situation. If the guard did not, Advantus would have no choice but to go to the town's leader where he would alert the high ranking officials, and pray that Lord Elsser would send help.

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?

As usual, Advantus is interested in competition. He needs to assess the prices that other's are selling goods for, so he wanders over an looks down at the stall. "'ello lad." Advantus smiles slightly. "Y'sellin' that wheat fae thirty mina' a strand?" The merchant nods slightly, realizing he's been discovered for his high end prices. "Indeed, I am" the merchant confirms. "It's from... from... the King's Farms..." he mumbles. Advantus looks up, smiling slightly, "Look lad, am no gonna go 'n' ruin ye'r business, by tellin' everyone about ye'r extortion. It's just nae fair on the people, who buy ye'r goods is it? Keep sellin' at whatever price ye' want, am no gonna buy anythin', or go 'n' tell anyone." Without another word Advantus would spin on his heel, and wander off towards the Alras Cathedral, for a small prayer to Aeriel.

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?:

Looking down at the items Advantus would shake his head, "Bloody idiot's, leavin' gid thing's in chest's like this. I cou'd just bump it a' right now. Of course, I winnae." He'd then proceed to slide the chest under the bed, hoping no cunning thief would notice it, and continue on his wanders.

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'm fine the now. I dinnae really fancy doin' any tradin', y'know. I've got to go 'n' meet someone" He'd mutter, before continuing off. He's not really social to people who live in exclusion, preferring those who live on the farms with him, or in big cities.

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?:

Thinking to himself, he'd wonder whether it's really worth risking his life, for a town which he doesn't have any attachment other than a bed to. As the leader of the party approaches to personally ask him, Advantus would wave him off, "Son, I dinnae fight. I've no been trained, and I dinnae plan on throwin' me life away, for no reason at all, y'know? If I'm needed truly I'll 'elp, but I'm no, so I winnae. Sorry lad."
