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. I am also the DM of my group. Some of these may not be seen as true RP. However, I did my best to truly RP them. In oblivion, I walked everywhere, never looked at guides, and read everything in game. Talked to NPCs just for small talk. Things like that made those games RP.

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

Using information that you have gathered from occ sources to better your character. IE: seeing nameplates of someone that your character cannot and using them to your advantage. Like a sneak attack.

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

Roleplaying in such a way that gives the other person no way to react to the situation:

Guard: "You are comming with me" *coffs thief and carries him away*

The thief had no chance to even RP trying to escape. The guard should say:

*attempts to hand cuff crook*

Then the thief has a chance to RP his way.

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 hours 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:

Yup.

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?:

Yes I have. Not sure what number I am, I think: 3,474

yes.

In-Character:

Character Name:

Drazin

What Race are you?:

Human

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

At some point in time my ancestors mixed with elves. I have some elf still in me. This caused my blonde hair and light complexion. ((That is more of a role playing aspect than a sub race but I wanted to write it down.))

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 very loose understanding of magic ((to make something clear, I am not giving myself magic powers to start. I am simply saying that I am magically inclined because of my elven heritage)). 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.

What is your Character's ambitions?:

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.

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

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

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

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

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

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format):

this is subject to change with the role-play : If I buy some robes later I will give my character robes.

adventurer

Other Information about your Character:

None right now, I will see how my character progresses throughout this expirence.

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 Sir, I am looking to sell this bread that I made"

"I will pay you 3 minas"

"3 minas? Are you insane? This is quality bread! look at this *crunches bread to prove freshness* This bread is at least 7 minas"

"5 minas"

"6"

"fine. 6 minas."

"Happy to do business."

*walks off satisfied selling 4 minas bread from the adjacent stall for 6 minas. pockets difference*

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?:

"Hello? Are these anyone's items?" * cricket, cricket*

"Well then" *spends the night in the bed and leaves early morning having left a couple minas in the chest for the shelter*

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?

*checks to see how they are armed and what guild they are part of. If hostile, sneak away. If not:*

"Hello there! *walks closer* Do you have goods to trade?"

"Of course! What do you need?"

"I require someone to repair my armor for the long journey ahead"

"I will!"shouts a man in the back.

"How much?" I reply.

"20 minas an hour of work!"

"fair enough!"

****after the armor is done and I have talked to the men some more about rumors and news****

"Thank you gentlemen, have luck on your travels!"

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?:

"Do not push out yet!"

*sneaks around the road, spots weakness in enemy line, walks back to the guard*

"Their northern side is filled with inexperience, push there and they will be easily defeated"

*after helping in the struggle from the back because of my lack of strong armor*

guard: "Thank you for that intel, that really saved lives"

"You are welcome. those men were in weak armor and were easily broken"

"That saved a lot of blood shed, thank you." *hands me a coin purse of minas*

"Thank you. Sent for me if they trouble you again!" *walks into town looking for the closest inn*
