Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name: Leonidas

How old are you?: I am 14 years old. I am turning 15 in June.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: USA, Eastern Coast, -5 GMT

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes, I most certainly do. However, I sometimes make mistakes even when I re-read my work.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: Every day I read the Wheel of Time series I have in my room. I also have a small manual that teaches HTML in 24 hours. On the side, I also play Indoor paintball every weekend.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: I can spend anywhere from 20 – 30 hours playing on this server weekly.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying means to pretend to be someone else, trying to make whatever he/she is doing as real as possible. So if someone is in battle, he/she can describe himself sweating and then trying to take a swing. If someone is a beggar and needed food, the beggar would probably ask for food in a hoarse, sad voice.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I have had a little bit of experience in roleplaying on two different servers. In both I set up trade outposts or became adventurers. However, when I ran out of food in towns and didn’t have the money, I would often become a beggar and beg for food in a pleading tone.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-Gaming is when you use OOC things to take advantage of someone else IC. This could mean using a mod, taking someone hostage with some Real Life Personal secret that he/she will expose if he/she doesn’t do what he is told, or just simply cheating.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power-Gaming is when you make a fight or something else go one sided. This means like using a force-field so all hits bounce off or just jumping someone without notice.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect it to be filled with adventure, fights, and RP. This server, I expect I will find an adventure that will last years.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I cannot remember their names, but I’ve played on many servers. I’ve played on over 7 Faction PVP servers that I left because I got bored or frustrated. I have also played on two RP servers as a merchant, thief, adventurer, or beggar but they also got boring. The main reason why I left those two servers was because they were so small that I couldn’t find enough people to interact with.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes, they are all very reasonable.

Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules: Indeed. I would never break rules here!

How did you hear about us?: I was looking for a new Minecraft server on Minecraftforum.net and I found this.

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you?: Yes I did, my vote is 467.

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.):

When I was born, I was born in a cottage in The Kingdom of Oren near a city. My mother and father owned a small farm. Every day we struggled, barely getting by with what little we made. We wore dirty rags and at night, when it grew cold, we would all sleep in one bed.

When I turned 17, I was able to help with the farm more so that we didn’t struggle so much. I was ruggedly handsome with even eyebrows and dark brown hair like my mother but still in rags. My eyes were brown and we often had fights since I turned 17. The reason was that I was doing all of the work for them and they wouldn’t even lend a small helping hand. I even had to cook my own dinner after I did all the work for them. They wouldn’t help me at all. Instead they would go out to the nearby town and buy alcohol. When I turned 18, I left the farm to get away from my family. I decided to head to the Kingdom of Salvus in hopes of finding happiness and love. Maybe I would also find an adventure along the way.

During my days of travel, I resorted to begging for the food I had only lasted for a week. However, during that week, I decided that I would head to the Kingdom of Salvus for safety. During my travels, I had to cross over rivers and through deserts. However, on some occasions I had to stop at towns and do some work for food for my journey. At one town I made enough money to buy myself my own sword and with that sword, I took on bounties for some more money. I would often become homesick and talk sadly to others though. When I finally reached Salvus, I collapsed in exhaustion. I thought I would die then and there but fortunately, a kind man picked me up off the side of the road.

He gave me food and shelter over the next couple of days. In those couple of days, I found out he works in a mine and that his young boy died ten years ago. He said that I looked just like him. When I asked what happened, he said the Orcs killed him in Oren. He was sad for the old man.

Now, after a week of rest and recovery, he gave me some bread and a red cloak to keep me warm at night. I began helping him with mining once I recovered as thanks. When I left, I left with a pickaxe he granted me for helping him mine, a red cloak, and some bread.

I am now 19 years old. It took me one year to travel to Salvus. Along the way, it gave me a tan and frizzled my hair. I got to choose my way carefully now that I am in Salvus. A new adventure awaits me now!

What is your Character's ambitions?: His ambition is to help make and preserve peace in the Kingdom of Salvus. He also has a small thought of making a place of peace.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): His favorite tool is the pickaxe because it is what the man used that saved him.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? He most skilled at mining and farming due to his many days working in both fields. He is also a fair traveler as long as he doesn’t mind begging.

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?

He steps towards the bandits and says, “Leave that poor fellow alone!” The bandits laugh and menacingly walk forward. However, he doesn’t back down and instead draws his sword he just bought and takes the stance of a trained swordsman in hopes of scaring them away. It works and he makes the bandits leave and then he turns to the Halfling and confirms that he is ok.

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?

“Well hello there! Are you selling new pickaxes”, he asks while showing his broken pickaxe.

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 feels that stealing is wrong, though there is vast wealth. He slowly turns away, makes sure there is no one around the hut to steal anything, then leaves.

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?

“Greetings! May I have some food and somewhere to sleep safely here? I have some money to pay for it”, he said holding out a handful of coins. The traders agree and take the money, giving him both food and shelter.

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 will take this job! The world cannot have filth like bandits running around!” he said with his sword high in the air! The crowd, watching, cheers for his bravery and give him a little food for the task.

P.S. I filled this out on word document. If something got messed up, sry. I couldn't work on it all at once so I had to do it in bits.

Take time to expand upon your character, proof-read your application, read up on server lore and rules and fix the problems with your app. Do not repost you application with 24 hours, use this time to build upon it and ensure perfection. Feel free to contact me on either the Teamspeak channel or through the forums if you have any questions, comments or concerns.

#1 You were told your last name is inappropriate for RP, so no K'Vash Dovakin is not acceptable either. I am not even going to review the rest of your application. If you post another application with an inappropriate RP name, you will be banned from applying. If this means clearing your name ahead of time with someone before applying, I suggest doing so.
