Minecraft Account Name: Diarmada

How old are you?: 16

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:UTC/GMT -5 hours

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?:Born in the U.S. Exceptional grammar.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:A tad random with a splash of silly. I enjoy video games, writing fan fiction and reading.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: 4-6 hours

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying to me is delving into a world where all your troubles are gone,Your the person you've always wanted to be with friends you want to be with. You overcome challenges with the flash of steel and magic in a world where nothing is boring or unimpressive. You get too choose your own destiny and your choices along the way.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?:Well, i've been playing World of Warcraft for around 5-6 years now. I have a solid idea on roleplaying and the will to delve into it further.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Well, that's a hard topic. I don't entirely agree with meta-gaming because you don't immerse yourself in the game for fun. You do it to win and well..... sometimes it just gets old. It's not my cup of tea but neither do I bash the people who do it. If that's what they like to do, I don't really mind. Me however, I don't like too.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: This sort of ties in with meta-gaming, Its not something I do. It's not unique, not something you created out of passion, just a means to beat a game easier. I sort-of think of it like this. You can play a game on easy and beat it in a day. Its all fine and dandy but you don't really get the full value of it since it's not a challenge. But lets say if you play on hard, its much more of a challenge and fulfilling when you do succeed.

What do you expect this server will be like?: Ugh....expectations. I dislike expectations. It's sorta rude in my eyes, but that's just my self-critical side. If I had to give some expectations i'd say that 1: The server will be fun 2: I will make friends along the way, thus increasing the fun level

and 3: It will consume ALOT of my time.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: Well to name a few: anarchy.gleany.com (I played on this sever for a LONG time. Around 4-5 months...till it shut down...)

Herocraft( great server for class based gameplay, I still play on it) And yeah, thats about it. I dont change servers often.

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

Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules:Pinkie promise with all my heart.

How did you hear about us?:This is not a shout out in anyway shape or form but "PotatoOrgy" livestream on twitch.tv

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you?:Not yet, but I intend too if I get accepted to the server.

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?: Cooperate with the town guard, Set up his men outside the road for an ambush. Meanwhile I circle around from the back and ready my bow. I send the signal whistle disguised as a bird song for the guards to charge the bandits. While they are distracted with the hoard of armed men running towards them, I release a bushel of arrows into the backs on unsuspecting bandits.
