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.): No ones ever told me my exact age but I'm guessing somewhere around 23 to about 27 years old. I was adopted by cold blooded murderers that just wanted me to help them with their pointless killings. If I didn't kill for them They'd hold a sword up to my neck and threaten to hang my head on a pike... I remember every man I've ever killed... The tears they shed... The ear shattering screams...

I remember my first victims, it was a poor orc family that stole from one of the assassin's uncles. I remember the family huddled in the corner in fear and I remember every stab and slash and while the blood dripping down the sword I heard one of the assassins yell "Blondie! The Guards! Run!" I ran... Some days I wish the guard would've caught me and ended my reign of terror right there but I got lucky and escaped. But now I'm trying to live life for whats its worth. I Don't kill anymore unless I'm threatened. I to make an honest living." ( Sitios' mother was 15 when she gave birth to him she dropped him off an orphanage and never looked back. He would get in to many fights at the orphanage. one day a man well dressed with 2 men that were big carrying swords. they were his body guards and the wore a vest that had a local gang sign on it. The man asked "I'm looking for a young strong man." the Nun quickly showed him to Sitios, he was bruised and was reading a book. The man filled out the papers, and then they were off. They rode in the carriage for about 2 hours and Sitios fell asleep for the ride. They arrived at a big mansion and the man said "come with me" Sitios followed him down to the cellar. it was lit by torchlight and their was another young child there. Sitios looked to his left and their was a fenced in ring and the floor was covered in blood to his right was 5 orc bandits wearing vests with the same gang sign. the orc said "get in the ring!" Sitios refused and they punched him in the face and then Sitios agreed. He got in the ring and the other child got in too. The orc broke a broom stick in half and threw it in the ring and said you have 5 minutes to shed blood. Sitios and the other child sprinted to the broom sticks and Sitios got it first and Sitios knocked the child out they pulled the child out of the ring and killed him. They praised Sitios and then showed him to his big room in the mansion. Seven year old Sitios couldn't sleep that night and he tried to escape the mansion. He jumped out his window and went on to the roof he tried to climb down carefully but slipped and fell down 1 story and broke his leg. The noise woke up the bandits and they all ran down stairs and captured him they went back to his room and branded him with the gang sign on his back as punishment. The next few days they taught Sitios how to fight with a sword even with his broken leg. When he healed they bought him on his first mission. An assassination contract. It was an orc family that stole money from one of the bandits uncles. He murdered them and got away with it. since that day he would accept contracts and became renown with his bandit friends. His last contract was a child. He refused to fulfill the contract. His adopted father, the man that was dressed nicely at the orphanage aka the leader of the bandit gang pulled out a Sword "listen Sitios, If you ever say no to me I will Have your he-" Sitios threw his sword at him and it stuck in his stomach. "Your a monster" Sitios said while walking away. A contract was put out on Sitios and he ran away. as far as he could. He wanted to give up the life of being an assassin and wants to start a family and live honestly for once in his life.

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format):http://www.minecraftskins.com/skin/92518/ninja-guy/

Other Information about your Character: I covered it all I believe.

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? "If I get involved I may get into an altercation that could result in murder. My blade will never touch another mans flesh ever again." He would avoid the situation in fear of it turning violent.

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? "Hello sir! My friend you have some various valuable wares here, I'm jealous! Any way my friend I'm looking for wares to build my own house!

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 would not want to steal. "I promised myself I would live an honest life. If I steal this I'm no better than the bandits I left behind..."

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? "Please sir, I'm lost could you please spare some food and perhaps a place to sleep for the night. If you want I could pay for it. I beg you I'm dying." (Sitios would offer to pay because he'd feel like a free loader if he did not offer some money)

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 would tell the guards "killing is not my thing find some one else" And he would sneak past the bandits using his skills he learned as an assassin and leave the town to avoid altercation.

I am very sorry, but your application has been moved to the denied section of the forums. There are numerous reasons for this, all of which I have included in my feedback below this message. In the mean time there is an abundant source of information, stories, guides and other helpful tips to get you on your way to being accepted; all you need to do is look around. I would suggest the lord of the craft wiki and application submissions section of the forums to start off your little quest to make the best application. Good luck!

The reasons that I have denied you are:

Your have used incorrect formatting of the application.

You need to re-copy the application format. Make sure you have copied the text from the white box and not anywhere else. Also make sure that you do not delete anything in [these square brackets] as they are vital to keep the colour, boldness and size of the text. If you are having trouble because your entire application turns out in funny colours, make sure that you are writing your answers on a line underneath the question, as this is a common error and can mess up the formatting of your application.

Your definition of Roleplaying is not what we are after.

Your current definition of Roleplaying displays to me that you do not fully understand what Roleplaying is all about. Please go back and so some research as to what Roleplaying is. I needn’t remind you that this is a Roleplaying server, if you do not know how to role-play or do not show evidence that you are keen to learn how to role-play I suggest you find a Minecraft server better suited to your needs.

RPGs or Role-Playing Games are not RP’s.

Games such as World of Warcraft, Skyrim, Rift or similar do not count as Roleplaying as there is no person to person interaction within a Roleplaying scenario (unless of course you were on a Roleplaying server in which you need to explain where and how you role-played to show your understanding of the term).

You need to have a character last name.

Unless you have a specific reason for why you do not have a last name of your character, you need to write a last name to show that you have put some in-depth thought processes into developing and creating your character.

You did not listen or understand the feedback from your previous application.

Being able to understand and complete orders set by Game moderators or Administrators is crucial if you want to be on the server. If you are unable to comply for whatever reason then you must state so in a clear, collected and mature way. Otherwise this demonstrates that you would be unable to understand and follow the rules of the server, thus this is a quality that we do not wish to see in applicants. Please re-read all of the feedback that was given previously, and that I have given you today and re-structure your application accordingly.

Your biography has a lot of errors.

Your biography currently shows Villain attributes. These are things such as corruption, murder, cannibalism or unholy worship. These sorts of things must be applied for separately to this application, but can only be applied for after around a month of being accepted and Roleplaying on the server.

Your story does not make too much sense. It would not make sense for these people to just adopt you and throw you into this ring to fight another person. If you can justify it then go ahead, but unless you have a concrete explanation then I would reccomend you do not use it. I would reccomend that you do some research on the server to discover some real villain groups whom you could have had some interactions with. Although this would only allow very limited interactions in your story. I would also reccomend that you look up the forum names of the people who created these organisations and see if you can work something RP'ly out with them.

Your biography is less than two paragraphs long. You need to write a minimum of two paragraphs (which in themselves must contain at least five full sentences) detailing all your characters history, age, personality and description. We also like to see little role-play quirks such as habits like the constant brushing back of a fringe, or the scratching of an itchy palm.

Every single thing in your application must have a justification. For example:

John’s father taught him swordsman ship and the lay of the land. X BAD

John’s father was a retired swordsman in the Oren military, after the undead attacks and the moving to Asulon he decided it was time that he lay down the sword for more important matters, family. Now days John’s father teaches John the way of the sword, not so that he can join any particular military, but so that he can defend himself for future experiences to come. √GOOD

You need to embed the screenshot of your skin.

For me to accept you I must be able to view your skin as I need to judge whether it is acceptable for this server, reason being if someone joins this server, but do not show their skin but they have a Tron skin on I would be in big trouble, but for me to be able to view your skin it must also be embedded. The reason your skin needs to be embedded is because recently people have been linking some dangerous websites to where the image of their skin has been hosted. To avoid this we request that the image is directly linked to this website either as an upload or being embedded into the post itself. You can do this by following this tutorial:

1. Go in-game and press the “F5” button TWICE. (Not once as this will show the back of your character)

2. Take a screen shot by pressing the "PrntScr" button on a windows computer or press F2 on the keyboard, then go to start => Run and type in this: %appdata%/.minecraft/screenshots

3. Find the screenshot and open it in an image manipulation program such as Paint or Gimp.

4. Crop the image so that only the area close to your skin (including the skin) remains.

5. Save the file and go to tinypic.com

6. Upload the file

7. Click ONCE on the text box underneath: "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards"

8. Right click and copy the entire text

9. Paste in your new application

*Note* If you want a tutorial for Macs, please send me a message on the forums.

Your answers to the Open Response questions need a lot of improvement.

Instead of briefly describing what your character would do, you need to assume that your character is in the situation and acting as they would in that situation. You need to describe a scene of RP. This means that you cannot write “If this happens, then my character would do that.” As this shows that you are not Roleplaying, you are answering the question from what you think that your character might do. You need to show us that you know who your character is, you know what the situation is and you know how your character is going to react.

This also means that you need to write in full RP. For example:

Josh talks to the shopkeeper, buys a few apples, pays the shop keeper and leaves. X BAD

Josh walks up to the man standing behind the rough oaken market stand. The sounds of a busy market can be heard all around him. An annoying fly buzzes around his head, so he absent-mindedly begins to inefficiently swat it away. “Ah, greetings shopkeeper! I was just browsing your wares.” The shopkeeper nods at Josh and then turns towards another customer to attempt to assist them the way all market shopkeepers must. Suddenly Josh felt a slight tugging sensation on his belt. He was about to brush it off as nothing, perhaps just someone bumping into him until he realised his belt was slightly lighter. He noticed a man beginning to run off in the opposite direction of himself. He glanced down to see that his coin purse was missing. He put two and two together and then shouted at the top of his lungs. “STOP THEIF!”… √ GOOD![/quote

We expect that you write in full RP and that you write a full paragraph or more for each question.

If you have any questions about my feedback, or would like to create some constructive critisism about the way I give feedback (I.E am I being TOO blunt, or am I coming across rude) then please send me a message! I take all questions, none are stupid! :)
