Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name:

OsisOflax

How old are you?:

I'm 15 years old.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:

+1 GMT (Sweden)

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

Yes, I think so. I understand mostly everything and I'm trying to avoid grammar mistakes.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

I'm a pretty normal high school student who like good music and fun computer games (e.g. the Elder Scrolls series and Minecraft). I also read a lot of books - everything from historical novels from the Middle Ages to George Orwell and Franz Kafka. At home, I speak Swedish and Polish.

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

I'm not really sure, it depends from week to week. So it could be from 10 to 25 hours per week.

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

It is when I change my past, my future, my skills, my look and become a whole different person that often do things that I could never do in my real life.

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

I've played a little bit on a Roman RP-server. But shortly after I joined they closed the server, so I didn't get so much experience from there. And honestly, I never really get stuck into it - until now.

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

Meta-gaming for me is when you use information that you have got outside the RP, e.g. knowledge from real life, from OCC or from the forums. Things that your character shouldn't know.

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

Power-gaming is when you don't give an another player the chance to act in response. It could also be when you're doing something for your own personal gain. The most important thing when roleplaying is NOT to win!

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I hope that I'll learn new things (especially about RPing) and shall have a really great time with other players.

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

I've played a lot on my friend's server, but it became griefed and bombed. So instead of that I tried a communistic server called USMR for a while. Don't ask me why. It was fun at the begging but then I felt like it was way too much Leninism. So I thought that I should try something new and suddenly I was told about Lord Of The Craft.

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

Yes, I've read and understood them. I think that they sound fair and reasonable.

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

Yes, I do.

How did you hear about us?:

My friend (I think his character's name is Lona) have told me much about LOTC and I just had to see what it was. After a while I realised that it could be really fun and that I also want to join this RP-server.

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

I sure did, but unfortunately I didn't memorized my number. It was a long time ago...

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.):

Heimdall Himinbjerg was an infamous bandit and thief. He lived alone in a hidden house in the forests near the city Arethor. He violated the law by stealing goods from rich people's houses and by assaulting travellers. There were even some rumours that he was once putted into jail but did escape from it.

One day, he sneaked into a house where he wanted to steal a very expensive and old painting. When he was inside he found a beautiful woman that he fell in love from the first time he saw her. And the extraordinary thing was that she, Embla, felt exactly the same feelings for him! They married after just a week and together they became the most hated and feared pair in the history of Renatus. After about a year, on a chilly afternoon, a child was born. It was a boy and they named him Sigurd. But the problem was that neither Embla or Heimdall wanted to have a child. They didn't love him at all. His father gave him a beating for almost everything he did and Sigurd was often treated like if he was a dog.

When he was nine years old he had enough. One night he packed down some necessary stuff in a bag and ran away from home. He didn't know where to go so he just went straight forward. After just some hours he met a friendly Elf, called Sylvar, who was travelling to Malinor. Sigurd told him his story and the Elf promised to help him find a new home. After a few days of advantures and long travells they reached Malinor where Sylvar brought the boy to a wonderful orphanage (that was runned by Sylvars cousin, Elora). Sigurd had a fantastic time with other children and lived there until he turned 19 and took the decision to find job and make some money.

He is now 19 years old and trying to find a well-paid job. He is around 6 ft tall, well-trained, muscular, pretty handsome and have brown hair and beard. He helps everyone he can and try to avoid crimes. He is also a follower of the Norse mythology.

What is your Character's ambitions?:

His ambition is to buy a house some day and to marry a beautiful woman.

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

Sigurd's favourite tool is a simple axe with which he can chop down a tree with, if he need so.

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

Sigurd is young and isn't so skilled yet. But he like cooking and he is pretty good at it.

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?

Sigurd would try to convince the warriors to stop, if that wouldn't help he'd try to use his sword and help the halfling. But it would probably end up with Sigurd and the halfing would have to flee.

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?

"Good day, sir! Do you mabe have some melon seeds for sale? I could pay a lot of money for them..."

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'd look around if he could see someone who owns these things. If he couldn't see anyone, then he would probably take all things and run away.

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?

He would say: "Oh, please, please, give me some meat.. I'm really hungry, haven't eaten for two days and I don't know where I am.. Could you please help me?"

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?:

Sigurd would definitely help them. He would never miss a chance of helping the society and getting some extra money.
