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.): Molotice was born into a family of 12, so he is told. He was never able to meet his family and his first ever memories are that of the orcs invading their native village whose name he had already forgotten. He was the sole survivor and was raised by a kind human family and learned their ways, but still always had the elven passion for archery. All day and all night he trained to be the ultimate archer. One day a kind Dark elven girl, Trinity, turned up in the middle of the night after on of his long archery sessions and was at Molotice's level. They spoke and went out together at night since their relationship was to be frowned upon by the human villagers. One night, after many sleepless nights with Trinity, Molotice finally decided that it was time for something new, and was about to leave when she found out that her mother, or the kind human who had taken him in and saved him from a young age, had fallen ill, and the only way to cure her was to trek to the top of a mountain and retrieve the antidote from a plant, the Eutronastiphicallus plant, very rare in human land. Trinity wanted to help Molotice and so they ventured for days and days, slaying many beasts, discovering many things on the way to reach the top. But as they climbed, Molotice could see Trinity was getting weaker and weaker. Molotice tried to help her but she could no longer continue so Molotice grabbed her and helped her trek the perilous mountain and walk up the winding paths. At the top there was the plant, the Eutronastiphicallus plant which was said to cure any disease. Molotive could see that Trinity was on the brink of death and so used the plant on her. Trinity laid days upon end up on the mountain, Molotice by her side waiting for her to get better until one day he woke up to find that she was no longer there. In the place of where Trinity had been laying the other night was the Eutronastiphicallus plant. Molotice returned to the village to find out that his mother was close to death. They made a brew from the plant and fed it day by day to the mother. She lay by the bed but never woke up again. Molotice much later decided there was no hope. He had to find Trinity. So he has been searching for her ever since, trying to make friends along the way and with a young human warrior he met on the way, Ezekiel Targon.

Molotice's age is unknown, but has been on his journey for an extremely long time. Many say he shall be a long lived elf and shall not rest until reaching his goal. He is a tall character, Blue eyes and blonde hair.

Open-Response-Questions

Answer at least three out of five listed

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 is not pleased. He tries to separate the two armed warriors from the warriors and then uses his poisoned sword to paralyze the warriors for one hour. He then fully heals the halfling and makes sure he has enough money and supplies to continue his own adventure.

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, may I be able to see your produce?

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 grabs the iron bars and golden sword, and goes back to the town and sells the goods. Then with the money he is able to spread it out and give it to those who need it.

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 accepts without hesitation. There is nothing Molotice is unable to handle, espacially is he has a bow and arrows on hand!

Welcome to Lord of the Craft, fabmor123! Unfortunately, your application is not suitable for acceptance on Lord of the Craft, thus was denied. Do not fret! You have a total of 4 application attempts left to achieve implemented (whitelist) status on our heavily populated, high-standard server! You will also not be able to post another application 24 hours from: 14/03/12 (time of this post, located above). Use this time to review your application and elaborate on your answers. Below I shall outline outstanding aspects of your application which specifically affected the decision making system.

Definitions: Your definition of Powergaming & Metagaming is incorrect! Please go about searching for the correct definition and correcting this error before posting your next application. You can find roleplay guides / definitions in the Guide section found in the ‘Realm of Asulon’ child forum. You can also find an abundant amount of Lore guides et cetera.

Open-Response Questions: You need to elaborate on your OR questions! Reading your answers only allows me to pick up physical attributes and some minor personality traits Molotice Arzdan revolves around. Elaborating will be beneficial to both yourself, and your next application reader; it improves your chance of acceptance and permits you to concoct better ideals and traits for your character.

Character Skin: Minor factor of your denial of access to LOTC, but important for reference. Could you take a picture of the skin in-game, because the upload .png for Minecraft.net disallows us to verify the skin fits the Lore / timeframe of the server.

Good luck on your next attempt, and remember; you can post your application 24-hours from the time of this post. This will give you ample time to elaborate on your application. If you feel that you have done so prior to the 24-hour mark, send me a private message with your application.
