Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name: aljoford

How old are you?: 14

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: Pacific Time (America, West Coast for more clarification.)

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes, English is my first language. (Not internet.)

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: A somewhat average teenager that likes to play minecraft a lot. Been playing Minecraft since 1.3, Roleplaying on Minecraft since 1.6. Tried alot of servers, but never seen one that looks as promising as this.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: 25 Hours a week is how long I could be in, if I find myself very interested in the server.

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

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: A lot of Roleplaying experience, actually I've played on at least 3 servers, which has strengthened my ability to roleplay correctly.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Metagaming is a type of RP breaker that occurs when a player uses OOC information in IC. For example, a friend on Skype tells you about an awesome vault that has full diamond armor AND tools set, he says he mined it all, and its cool to take it. He made sure its REALLY well hidden, you would never think to find it there. If you choose to take the armor and/or tools, that would be metagaming because you knew exactly where to go OOC, but not IC.

Players have been knowned to get banned for doing this.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Powergaming is when you perform feats a normal character couldn't, like breaking ripping someone in half. In short, its when you perform OP (overpowered) actions with a character that isn't a god. Players have been knowned to get banned for this.

What do you expect this server will be like?: A fun, decently serious, dedicated RP server.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: The Land of Aswein, Roleplay Revolution, and The Vault RP. I haven't technically left aswein or roleplay revolution, but i rarely get on. The Vault, however, I left because the admins were all dicks who couldn't take losing an RP fight because they thought we were un-prepared and would lose or surrender when we saw them. You can see me and 3 other players leaving on minecraft forums if the admins haven't deleted it, (if they can that is) if you look hard enough. (Dont bother, its really an annoyance to look, and not much was said on the forums.)

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?: A friend who plays on your server actually, his IGN is i_am_Ricky

Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?: I have not.

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.):(----------->)

James was born in a small fishing village that couldn't be found on any map up to date. He grew up learning multiple ways of how to fish, through netting fish, spearing fish, fishing with a rod, even shooting fish with an arrow. Most of his village used a bow to defend themselves, but they also trained in swordsmanship. James never had many friends, as he is sorta shy. He has brown hair, and green eyes. He wears a type of arctic robes, one that always kept him warm. On the day of his 16th birthday, James decided he wanted to pursue a life of happiness elsewhere, so he asked his parents if he could leave. His parents were reluctant, but they let him go. He packed his things, and left for the bigger, better world outside his small village.

James eventually traveled to Asulon, hoping that he could settle in Arethor and set up a stall. He hunted for his food, and occasionally traded with other vendors. It took him 2 years to reach Asulon, and is now on his way to Arethor. He is now 18, still wearing his bulky robes and hoping he can achieve his life goals. Where the adventure would take him from that point, would only be known through his travels, in the kingdom of Asulon.

What is your Character's ambitions?: James wishes to become a succesful merchant, find the love of his life and marry her, and live a peaceful life.

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

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