Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I spend most of my days around my computer either studying or gaming I am very chatty and would help anyone in need .

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Possibly an 3-5 hrs a day? Made up time on weekends so possibly around 7 hours?

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying to me is extremely important in any video game. Just being totally immersed and taking on the role of your character and just doing and feeling what he/she feels is all an act of roleplay. With the freedom of minecraft this is achieved well I believe. It’s also the art of creating your very own adventure right from the start of filling in these apps to get it. It’s all about (IC)as not only does this keep the gaming vibe alight but for others as well that are also roleplaying can be a lot of fun.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I host my own server with a group of friends where we regularly roleplay as a small town in our own made up Kingdom/city. It's actually harder for me to not roleplay in nearly any game, I just find it far more enjoyable immersing myself within the game and believing that if I was in that certain situation what would I do to either come around an obstacle or challenge the quest ahead full on.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Whenever I play any other game then RP games I use Skype or Xbox party to connect with my friends and to help each other out. I believe that Meta-gaming is when you hear information out side of the game i.e. Skype/xbox party and use this to your advantage.

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

Powergaming is the act of forceful roleplaying and it is against the lore due to the fact that it ruins roleplaying! It is claiming that an action was successful without giving the other player a chance to act or respond in an appropriate manner. For example you can’t go up to someone in the server and say *Draws sword and plummets sword into your chest* as this is not giving the other player a chance to react in this situation it should be more *draws sword at (Player Name) in an aggressive manner* then wait for the other players response could be *Runs away* or *Also draws sword* also powergaming could consist of impossible task like *(PlayerName) Feats of 10 Dragons with a wooden sword* this is more down to the player wanting to make their character sound perfect and to not have many flaws.

What do you expect this server will be like?: From what I've heard, the largest and greatest RP minecraft server there is. The large amount of people I believe will make the world more full of life and believable. The fantasy setting is also an interesting and classic theme.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have and still play on my own server with friends. Other than that I've played on a few servers, another server I played on was Youtubers Flabaliki and Bluexephos servers. These both are community servers so I can easily speak to people in character.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes, fully understood.

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 saw LotC's signature in a random user’s signature on the minecraft forums.

Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?:

Other Information about your Character: None

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? Raylof would draw his blade and answer humbly to the two warriors. A few threats would probably be exchanged and raylof would comment on how pathetic the warriors were. The result would probably be a sword fight and as we know Raylof can fight. So he would give the two warriors a last chance to walk away and leave the Halfling and if so no problem but if they didn’t then raylof would have to do the right thing a stop the wretched people. He would not kill them just hurt them enough so they knew they were in the wrong he would possibly slice there leg or fighting arm to disable them from battle for a long time.

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? Raylof would stop and reply in a nice way “Good day to you to kind sir, what do you have for me to look at”. If nothing is needed, a simple "hmmm nothing for me thanks." and then he would continue passing on. But then again if the store keeper was persuasive raylof would be very intrude as he is always looking for a bargin to keep him happy so he would step back in front of the stall and ask to see the best that the store keeper has. Raylof would try and haggle the seller to get money of his purchase unless raylof had the right amount.

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?: Survival is necessary and depending on how well off Raylof was going, he would take as many resources as he needed. Anything spare could always be sold to a shop at a nearby town. It’s not stealing if “Abandoned” and if raylof saw anyone in need around the area of the shelter he would help them by either asking them to come for shelter or telling them the right way if they were lost raylof would only take what’s necessary to him he wouldn’t rampage the place taking everything only the stuff that he thinks he would need.

Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you in the common tongue, and how do you respond? I would tell them my current situation and ask if I could stay for as long as I needed. When ready I would ask to trade what I had for some resources, otherwise I'd see if I could travel with them until they reached a nearby town. Raylof would also ask if he could stay with then for a bit to learn their language to help raylofs knowledge of the land as raylof wants to be able to speak with everyone in their own way and not offend them he would get to know all of them as it is better to have friends then enemies and wouldn’t break the rules of their camp as he does not want to upset anyone.

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 offers their support. How does your character act on this information?: Raylof would straight away accept to help out. The threat of bandits should be no problem with the aid of the town guard. Raylof being the fighter he is would come up with a cunning plan to help the town guard eliminate these horrible bandits this would consist of flanking the enemy so when they attack the bandits would not know which direction the guards came from, Raylof would also ask to lead the guards into battle as he wanted to be first to slice a bandit and to aid the fighting guards in the road when the fight is over raylof would let the guards take care of the dead or injured bandits to disperse of in their own way.
