Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name:

Paladin_of_Io

How old are you?:

14, I have a birthday coming up this September

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:

EST/ United States

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

I believe that I do. However, to be perfectly honest, my grammar could use some work. I strive to work on that especially when on a server like this one where I feel it is a necessity.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

I am a High School freshman. I enjoy Minecraft, RPGs, and computers in general. I am learning to program java and I hope to make that my profession.

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

6 days/ week at about 4 hours a day. So I would say around 25.

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

In my mind role playing is taking to heart a character of your own creation. Speaking like them and acting in their place.

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

I learned what I know from good old D and D, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and mmorpgs. I was also a part of another Role playing server.

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

Acting as if your character was above the law. "you killed me? well I come back as a demon and make your head explode!"

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

Finding exploits and putting yourself above other real players.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I expect this to be strict Role Playing. I have seen the community (I have been reading the forums for a hour now) and I think this will be and amazing server for role playing.

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

Listing the servers I have played on would take much too long. To name a few: Better anarchy, Xiracraft, Chosencraft. I left most of these for the same reasons, a combination of my group of best friends leaving and some power leveler who walks around spawn in full diamond until he clears out the sever due to rage quits. While that man in armor doesn't scare me away. He scared my friends off and having a huge base to myself bored me and so I would move to the next server to be with them.

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

Yes. Very 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?:

Google: "Best minecraft RP server" (first link :) )

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

Just did! Not sure what number I am, I think: 3,474

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.):

I was born in the little mountain town of Riven. Riven is not on any real maps because we move with the weather. Most of my childhood was spent in a tent moving from place to place. Even through the toughest of times my mother insisted on teaching me to read and write so I may compete in the world. At the age of twenty I was sent to make a life for myself in Arethor. At this moment I am making my way to that great city in the hopes of a better life.

I am 5'11" and I have long blonde hair. i do my best to keep clean but I always seem to get myself into trouble. No, I am no thief, getting roughed up for stealing. Quite the opposite. I was taught to always look for the good in people and if need be, help them on their way to enlightenment. I excel at farming and trading, with a loose understanding of magic. If all goes as planned on my journey, I shall be in Arethor within a week, ready to leave my mark on this great land.

I hope to someday create a sanctuary far from civilization. This will be a place for learning and knowledge. My disciples will spread the word of honor throughout the land.

In peace: a hoe, for without seeds there is no life.

In war: knowledge, Tactics can outmatch even the finest sword.

Leadership and farming. I excel at providing for and uniting large groups.

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?

"Get away from that man! Has he done something to harm you? Have you really lost your way so much to resort to stealing? For shame!" (If they pull swords) "Fine then! *grips staff* hopefully I may teach you a lesson!" (If they peacefully leave) " *to the halfling* Are you alright? Take these coins, buy yourself some protection for I may not always be there to save you."

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! What do you value these gems at? *shows diamonds* "I got them as payment for escorting a man safely through those mountains. But I need coin for the Inn" *Bartering ensues*

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?:

I would stay the night to avoid the monsters. Then leave some items or gold in the chest for the next traveler looking for rest.

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 gentlemen! How goes it? May I trade for some food? I am quite hungry and need a place to stay."

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?:

"I shall help eliminate the bandits for the good of this town!" *fight scene* "I cannot accept this reward, I did the right thing. I don't deserve any reward for doing what is right"

Unfortunately, your definitions of powergaming and metagaming was incorrect, and as such, I cannot accept this application. Because it's such a minor detail, you may repost an application after two hours. Good luck!
