Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name: miklepikle21

How old are you?: 15

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: Central United States (Texas)

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I have lived in Texas all of my life and have a very high grade in highschool English. Besides, shorthand typing makes you sound uneducated and immature!

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am a fun loving teenager who enjoys life just the way it is. I am generally passive with little to no outburst's of anger. I love meeting new people online who share the same outlooks and goals as I do.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: 4 to 5 times a week.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying is a way to relax and pretend to be someone or do something that you are not capable of in reality. You generally create strong bonds with characters within a game as well as your own. Making decisions within roleplay make you think if this choice will go against your moral values in real life, as well as how it will affect others around you.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I have been playing RPG's for as long as I have had any type of console. I actually started when I was 6 on the PlayStation 1! I have grown up with RPG's throughout my life and have stuck to a couple: World of Warcraft, TES4 Oblivion, Maplestory, as well as the newly released Kingdoms Of Alamur: Reckoning (which is a totally great game by the way!)

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-Gaming is the use of knowledge that the in game character might not have, but the player does. This usually gives the player an advantage over the game itself.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power-Gaming is the act of constantly grinding and progressing in an RPG or other games. Power-Gamer's usually try to maximize their time spent in the game by taking the activities that yield the fastest progression. eg: Taking a quest that gives more experience points or running through dungeons on WoW on harder difficulty to try to maximize the benefits.

What do you expect this server will be like?: A great experience and opportunity to meet new players from around the world as well as an immersive RPG environment to get lost in and just play the hours away with my friends.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have played on many servers such as Realm-Craft and GLdesert, but the reason I jumped ship is because of the unfair and abusive players/admins who constantly take advantage of new players and never give them a chance to thrive on their own.

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

Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules: 100% law abiding

How did you hear about us?: One of my friends (who is a youtube junkie) came to me one day screaming "LOOK AT THIS SERVER I FOUND ON YOUTUBE! WATCH THIS AMAZING TRAILER AND LOOK AT THE BUILDS!" It was love at first sight! I knew right then and there I wanted to be an Elf or a Dwarf!

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you?: I have and I was number 2,550!

In-Character:

Character Name: Faeron Dwinrretyn (which means "walkers of the heavens")

What Race are you?: Elven

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race):

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.): Faeron Dwinrretyn grew up with no family, no place to call home, and no memory of his recent past. The only thing that Faeron knew about was his last name, which translates to "walkers of the heavens". He had pondered upon that subject throughout his life, just trying to get by off of scraps thrown out by nobility, and sleeping in abandoned shacks and caves. Until IT happened. Faeron was approached in his sleep by a misty white figure that carried itself with utmost grace and honor. He was told to seek out the last remaining Elven colonies to the west, and soon everything about his past will soon unravel to him. This perilous journey to the forsaken Elven lands of his ancestors will prove a great obstacle on his path to understanding and accepting the real roots of his ancient family.

Faeron is a hardworking and determined young elvish man, who takes every task, daunting or not, as serious as the last. He knows nothing of relaxation or rest, just perseverance. He may be tightly wound sometimes, but put a pint of the finest elvish brandy in his hand and I'm sure he'll be singing the next verse of "Vol'sh Darn-eh" up on stage of the local pub.

What is your Character's ambitions?: To discover the roots of his family, and to have the most fulfilling and prosperous life possible.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Bow and arrow as well as a short sword that he keeps strapped to his back. (though hardly used due to his deadly accuracy with the bow)

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Woodworking and surprisingly enough, Baking.

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format): Screenshot was too big to upload (or im just bad at things like this) but I put the skin layout as an attachment.

Other Information about your Character: Very dashing and good with women. Likes to be outdoors most of his time.

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 draws his bow from a distance and tells the warriors to back off or he will open fire.

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? Very good, but sorry i'm not interested at this time, thank you.

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?:"looks like this will pay for some home renovations or dinner for a week!"

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? Hello, I seem to be lost and out of food and a bed. Not trying to intrude, but may I stay the night with this fine company of men?

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?: Gather intelligence on these bandits from the roof of the local inn, then under the stealth of night, slowly but surely eliminate every last bandit from the road with his bow and poison tipped arrows, but then go and tell the leader of the party to keep his money and that this was just a friendly deed he commuted due to the towns hospitality towards him.
