Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name: AspectGC

How old are you?: 24

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

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Born, and raised in Canada. Also in gifted program, so yes.

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 devote 3 hours on weekdays, and a lot 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. For example, if I was a bandit and I saw an OoC message on the forums for a merchant's gathering, my character would have no way of knowing about the meet. A common way that people Metagame is by looking at the names above people's heads. There is no proper way someone could of known their names in roleplay without being told by someone, or something.

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. Power-Gaming is also exploiting something in the game. For example, if you needed to get to a meeting in the could temple, you could not just jump off a cliff so you respawn there.

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. Roleplaying is impossible without a great community!

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.

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.

Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you?: I voted a bit back, but forgot to record my vote number. I assure you 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, after I finish this.

In-Character:

Character Name: Aerius_Windsworn

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.):

Aerius had a normal early life for the most part. He never knew who his parents were, nor did he truly care. He was raised in a group of travelling merchants, that roamed the land. The merchants said that when they stopped at a village, they found a baby laying in swaddling cloths in front of the doorsteps of a house. Aerius was raised from a young age in the ways of a merchant. He was taught how to fell a tree from a young age, and how to craft great pieces of woodwork.

Aerius grew into a bright young man. He was quite handsome, with dark skin, and blonde hair. He was well built, and strong. Yet Aerius was not the kind of man to fiddle with a woman's heart. Although Aerius wandered for over twenty years, he always wanted to settle down in some place, start a family, and start a business. Those three things were the things that drive him to travel to Arethor.

Aerius was never ever a fighter. He did not have the drive to hurt any living being, save game while hunting, and only in dire hunger. Aerius was not one to discriminate among races. He believed that they were all children of creation, and that they should be all treated the same. This has gained him favor among some, and hate among others. While Aerius was a strong merchant, he was not cheap, or shrewdly. Aerius did have passion in his job though, and knew what was a good buy, and something that was not worth it, and he was not afraid to admit that.

He is currently 23 years old.

What is your Character's ambitions?:

Aerius’ long term goals are to settle down in a big city, get married, and raise a family. He wishes the settle down somewhere peaceful where he can start his life. He also plans to start a business, that will be the biggest in all of Oren.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):

My character’s favourite tool is the axe, although he will only use to fell a tree, and in self defense.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?

My character’s most skilled talents are diplomacy, woodworking, and woodcutting.

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

Other Information about your Character: Aerius is good of heart, and will not resort to physical violence no matter the situation. If brought to hurting someone, he will always apologize for his actions. He always believes that manners are extremely important, and will go to far ends to be polite. He has quirky habits, like always knocking 4 times before entering a room, and people always find him quite nice, but odd, and quirky.

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?

My character is not a fighter, and he knows that. At the same time his heart will not allow this to continue. He would quickly rush to anyone who looks experienced in the arts of combat, and pay them a lump sum to ward off the warriors. Aerius will then check if the halfling’s injuries are serious, and he will take him to the local healer, and have him properly cared for. This way Aerius will not have to hurt anyone, but at the same time, he can help the poor Halfling.

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?

When Aerius buys goods, he always wants to know where they come from. Aerius refuses to buy stolen goods, or goods from a black market. He will then assume if the price that the merchant gives are in a fair price, and if Aerius can make any source of profit from them. Aerius keeps track of prices in a small little book, and he will gain knowledge of the current market. Aerius will then chat with the merchant, and if he seems reputable, that they perhaps in the future create a joint-company.

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?:

The hut looks like it hasn’t been touched in a while. Aerius is a merchant, and he is also fairly adventurous, so he will gladly take the chance to take the items. Aerius would not want to be a thief so he will leave a note with strict instructions on how to find him, if the owner of the hut comes back, and sees that his belongings are gone, he can come to claim them. He will then take the items back to his store, and proceed to sell them. If the owner of the items does happen to come, he will give the items back, if they haven’t been sold. He will also give a small sum of gold for their troubles. He will also apologize.

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? Aerius once again will greet the traders. He will then ask where their wares are from. Aerius refuses to buy anything from the black market. He also refuses to buy stolen goods. He will then converse with the traders and see if they need anything specific, or if there is anything Aerius can make profit of. When all trading is done he will make some small chat to be polite. Eventually if their hearts are good he will ask if they wish to create a joint-company if they are large, or if they would like to merge into Aerius’ company. If they are polite they will offer Aerius some food, directions and temporary shelter, but he will dare not ask unless he is offered.

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 isn’t a fighter, and would hate to hurt even bandits. He would ask if there is anything else that he could do that isn’t combat related. Perhaps he could help heal some of the injured, or loan some of the weapons that he sells at his store.

Accepted, welcome to Asulon! Keep in mind that powergaming can also be forcing an action or event on another player without giving them a chance to resist or negate, ex. cutting another character's head off without allowing them to dodge or parry.

Please be patient in waiting for a GM to implement you.
