Minecraft Account Name: AspectGC

How old are you?: 24

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: -5:00 EST.

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes, as I was born and raised in Canada. I'm also in the gifted program.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I'm kinda a nerdy guy. I play video games alot. I'm also quite social and love to talk.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: I can give about a good three hours on weekdays, and much more on weekends.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: I've been roleplaying since I was ten. I have roleplayed on boards, and on different videos games that include, but are not limited to WoW, SC2, Guild Wars, and Minecraft. Roleplay is where you and a bunch of people fill on the roles of characters. You mold you own story, which is why it is so fun!

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: As stated above I've roleplayed since I was ten, and have roleplayed on boards, and a variety of video games.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta Gaming is doing an act in which your character draws information and knowledge from IRL, or from other sources out of Roleplay.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Powergaming is the act of doing something impossible in roleplay. Every roleplayed character has his limits, and they are not gods. For example one man cannot eliminate a whole town.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect this server to be REAL mature RP. I don't want people running around OoC screaming " U NUB, NUB." I also expect that I will be helped by veterans on the mechanics of the server.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have played on the server "Road To Ages" which I still play on, but as it is down for quite a while I am looking for a new RP server that I can adopt as my home. I may still continue to play on Road To Ages when it is up, but if I enjoy this server enough I will split my time.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes, of course. I doubt anyone would answer no to this.

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

How did you hear about us?: I was trawling the Minecraft Forums looking for a good Roleplay server.

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you?:Voted earlier, but forgot to record my number. I assure that I have voted.

Have you posted this application on our minecraft forum thread yet? If not, just finish it up on here and then copy + paste is over there. (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/832121-%E2%96%91%E2%96%92%E2%96%93-the-lord-of-the-craft-%E2%96%93%E2%96%92%E2%96%91-enter-the-world-of-asulon-o-f-f-i-c-i-a-l-l-y-t-h-e-n-o-1-r-p-s-e-r-v-e-r/): Will do, once this is complete.

In-Character:

Character Name: Tidus Oakfell

What Race are you?: Human

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

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.):

Tidus was never a lone man. He was always extremely social. Born into a wandering pack of merchants, Tidus had never really had a normal life. It was always one place to another very quickly. There was nothing odd about Tidus' early life. He gathered, and foraged. He was quickly introduced to gold, and the life of a merchant. Tidus decided that this was what his life would be devoted to. Tidus was never sure of who his parents were. The merchants said that when they stopped in a village a baby was dropped off to them. By his looks he had dark yellow skin, and blonde hair. He assumes that he is a southerner by blood.

When Tidus came of age he decided that he would leave the group that loved him so much. He left to go to Arethor where he wanted to start a new life. He decided that he would open the finest trading company these lands have ever seen. Tidus had not really understood anything else but how to grow and nurture a piece of gold.

Tidus was not really religious, or interested in politics. There was perhaps one thing that was almost attractive to Tidus as money, and that was women. Tidus was far from a ladies man. In fact, he had never even been in a real relationship before. Every time he was with a woman when he wandered, his heart was already played with, and eventually destroyed. Tidus is also a slight bit of a pervert, and he a a permanent scar on his right arm to remind him of that.

What is your Character's ambitions?: Tidus' ambitions are to grow the largest trading company in all of the lands..

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Tidus' favorite tool is the axe. He was trained to fell a tree from a young age, and he learned how to craft fine works of wood. His other tool is his voice. He is a great speaker, and uses his deception like a knife.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Tidus' most skilled talent is woodworking, and deception. He is also fairly skilled in the art of assassination, be it through means of poison, or a dagger.

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format): http://www.minecraftskins.com/skin/61886/merchant/

Other Information about your Character:

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? Tidus is not a fighter. He will wait to see what happens and if the half-ling somehow manages to escape, he will be quick to cut the purse of the halfling. Tidus is one to analyze the situation, and make sure he will succeed, and that he will not get caught.

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?

My character will take time to examine the wares. He knows a good deal when he sees them, and even if he cannot use the wares he will buy them, and sell them for profit.

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?: My character will be quick to pocket the items. They're free and Tidus would quickly jump at the chance to be able to make such a profit.

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?

I know that it would not be wise to steal from such a large group alone, so I would converse with them, and see if they had any wares that I could possibly make profit from.

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?:

Tidus is not a fighter so he would go, but would slack off until the very end. He will then carefully maneuver a lie to make sure that he looks like a hero. That way he will be able to cash in the reward. If needed he will lure his party, and silently kill them so he can gain all of the reward. He holds no personal attachment to people he's just met.

PS : I'm not really a villain, or evil at all. I'm just a mizer, and greedy. If you guys feel this is not allowed, the feel free to take out anything about be assassinating someone.

I'm sorry, but you have been Denied. This doesn't mean you won't get on the server, it just means your application needs to be improved or changed first!

Work on your definitions of metagaming and powergaming. They are technically correct, but do not fully demonstrate your understanding.

You need to roleplay out the open response questions with depth. Finish the scenario and give it lots of detail, including including dialogue, details of any combat and reactions of other characters.

If you need any additional help, don’t hesitate to PM me.
