How old are you?: 16

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: Australia

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes, I do.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am a funny person who loves to hang with my friends. I love playing sports and I am having fun in life! I hope to get into LotC because two of my friends want me to join.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Weekly? About... let's see. 3-5 hours a day so... 21-35 hours!

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying is to take the life or role of another and act it out, not in your personality but in theirs remembering who they are and what there lives are.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I watch my friends play it and I am confident I can do it well.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-Gaming is letting your character know something YOU as a person knows with out your character learning throught their own experiences. (example) Bob: Hey do you know where Sarun will be built? Jimmy: Oh yes! (In this situation, Jimmy told Bob where Sarun was being built even though Jimmy didn't know, but the person acting as Jimmy did. )

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power-Gaming is being forceful and not letting others do anything. It is taking to much control and wrecking roleplay for others. (example) Bob grabs out his large mace and stands in an aggressive stance. Jimmy grabs the mace and cracks it in half. ( In this instance Jimmy didn't give Bob a chance to do anything and did something his character shouldn't have been able to physically do. (( unless he was maybe a large Orc )) )

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

How did you hear about us?: As I said before, my friends and their passion for roleplay.

Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?: No this is my first. ( And hopefully my last )

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/): Sorry I don't understand, I assume it has something to do with the last question and therefore I do not have to answer...

Character Name: Lili

What Race are you?: Human

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

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.):

Lili was a quiet girl. She lived in a small home near Ascella. Every day after she awoke, she would go out and feed the family's cows. It was their only way of getting money. Selling milk all day was tough and she always looked forward to her mother's hands combing her long brown hair at the end of the day. She was in her late twenties now and she knew that she had no future. Each day, she would have sorer hands then the day before. The only thing that kept her from leaving was her younger brother, Lars. He was a pale-faced boy. Both he and his mother were sick. Lili knew they didn't have much time left in the war-torn lands of Asulon.

Their father, Delarian, died protecting a caravan from bandits on a cold morning. Lili never really got along with him but that didn't matter, she loved him anyway. With the loss, ripping at her heart she knew she couldn't stay in the house. She had to leave and take her mind off of it. So one day, she got up, fed the cows, and then... she left.

Making her way to Ascella, Lili tripped on a rock underfoot and she dropped her bracelet, which her mother gave to her when she was 16. Lili knew there was more to the bracelet than what seemed and horror-stricken she realised it was no where to be seen. She had lost her father and the last reminder of her mother. She looked down at the small smooth rock her sweet brother Larz had given her on her birthday. She held it, and held it tight. She continued on, to Ascella. She knew that one day she could live a happier more cheery life. That was once she removed the grief and guilt from her mind. And for the happy life. It would have to come to her, she hoped...

What is your Character's ambitions?: To live a life full of happiness.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): A sword, as she loves combat sports. She trained with a boy across the meadow.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? She learnt to create beautiful necklaces and bracelets from a young age and she kept on with the talent.

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format): My skin is my Avatar and Photo on these forums.

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? Lili avoids the confrontation and alerts the nearest guards. The guards deal with the two thugs well and they are sent off to the nearest dungeons.

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? *blushes* Me?, oh I am just looking. These are some fairly interesting trinkets. *wonders* How did he come across them...? But she stays polite and smiles at the man.

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?: Lili would immediately leave the hut, scared of being found and killed. She sneaks back into the undergrowth and into the heavier cover. a large orc immediately emerges from the other side of the opening in the trees and Lili considers herself lucky.

Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you in the common tongue, how do you respond? Oh hello, I was wondering whether you have any food? I am quite hungry, out here in the forest. The people in the camp rummage throw some leather sacks and find a few apples. After a generous pay, Lili has an apple in her mouth and she is watching the sunset in a tree.

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?: Lili ignores the man, it is too dangerous for her. She is no fighter. She quickly hurries back to where she was staying before anyone notices her.

Welcome to Lord of the Craft!

I believe that you would be a great addition to our community. Now, I was very close to denying your application for a slight few reasons. After reviewing your application and giving it some deep thought, I did feel you could have elaborated a bit more upon your metagaming definition. But, you had a correct example, so I let it go. Your Open response questions could have had a bit more detail added to them but I enjoyed the choice of words you used and how you approached your responses. Overall, it seemed like you were mature and it was a slight factor in your acceptance. I'd just like to see you take a look at the following link to get a well-rounded knowledge of how we define some of the roleplaying terms at Lord of the Craft and how we define roleplaying:

Link: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=Roleplaying

How you wrote your application was pleasing to me. While I think you could have added a bit more detail, I believe you are worthy of acceptance. Just take a read at the link above to further your knowledge of roleplaying.

Good Luck, and may Aeriel's blessings be upon you while you embark upon the Journey that is Lord of the Craft! :)
