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?

Aitrus examines the physical weaknesses of the warriors, he tries to find weak points in their armours. Before it gets physical Aitrus will try to verbally scare them off. If that fails and they seem to not be as skilled in swordsmanship as he is he will attempt to fend off their attacks and give the halfling a chance to escape, if they seem more skilled than him in swordsmanship or are better equipped he will quickly report it to the guards.

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?

He would politely ask to browse the man's wares. If Aitrus is interested in something he will purchase it and fully pay it. However if he is not interested he will politely say that he is not interested and walk away.

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?:

Aitrus would first look around the area and try to find evidence of someone living there. If not he will take three quarters of the Iron bars, just in-case someone did live there, he would also compare the sword to his, if it is better he will take it but if it isn't he will leave it. If there were signs that someone did live in the area he would quickly vacate the area and leave the items un-touched.

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?

Aitrus would ask them if they could spare some food, if they can supply it he will eat some and save the rest for later. If not he would get a little angry but will keep it in his head. He would then proceed to ask whether he could have a map or could travel with them. If he received a map he would return to a city or village of some sort, if he was allowed to travel with them he would thank them and begin to travel with them until they reach a village. However if no directions or travel is given he will try to find his way back to land as best he can and hope he gets lucky.

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 would put himself forward as a volunteer to help. Aitrus would not even really care about the reward, as long as he can make the roads safe.

Your application has been:

Denied

Do not worry though; this does not mean you cannot apply again, quite the contrary! After 24 hours you may apply again which gives you plenty of time to fix up your application, plan it out as well as use all of this advice which I have given you in this post to make your application one of the best. Please check the links at the bottom of this post, they will help you quite a bit.

You have been denied because:

Your definition of powergaming is incorrect.

Sadly I cannot just "tell" you, as that would constitute me doing your application for you. You need to prove to us you really want in on the server, so you have to do some research by yourself. *cough* look at the LOTC wiki *cough*.

You did not tell us how you heard about us.

I didn't deny you in any way shape or form because of this, but it is interesting. Come on now, you had to have heard about us somewhere? :P

Your biography needs a tiny bit of improvement.

Don't get me wrong, I love your bio :) I think it is great and unique, but there is a tiny little part of the bio which irks me, you single handedly fought off a pack of wolves? Don't you think this to be a tad unrealistic.

Now another note which is not ENTIRELY necessary, but will make me love your application all the more is, if you include some towns, people, places (but DON'T make stuff up about it) that are IN Lord of the Craft already (just read the forums or the wiki) you are tons more likely to get accetped ^_^

The skills and tool questions need expansion.

I want to see at least 2 sentences for each, you need to explain EXACTLY why you are good at what you said you are.

Your open response answers need improvement.

You need to make assumptions on your own accord. Instead of "If this happens, I would charge, otherwise I would not." You tell us what is happening.

Please wait 24 hours or your application will be instantly denied.

This gives you a chance to have a cup of tea and read all of which I have provided, then give you a break and a fresh mind to re-write your application in the required areas. This is also to prevent the spamming of applications, as if there was no limit we would be absolutely swamped with applications.

Please do send a PM my way if you are having any trouble understanding the application process or my feedback, I would be glad to help you. :)

Good luck for your next application!
