[The Best Basileus 97]

Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name: Sarkly

How old are you?: 13

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: Central Standard Time / United States of America

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I definitely have a good grip on the English language. In fact, English is one of my favorite classes, and I tend to do very well in it. Since I am a natural born American, I have been speaking the English language for my entire life.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am thirteen years old and am a resident of the United States of America. I am very academically focused, and I also play the piano. I like to play games or go out during my free time. I started playing Minecraft in December, and I have found that I am a pretty good skin maker.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: You can expect me to spend 5-10 hours on this server a week, depending on the week. I will be able to spend much more time on the server during the next few months than I normally would be able to, so for a while I will be able to spend anywhere from 20-40 hours a week.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying is literally, as the name suggests, "playing a role." The playing portion indicates that you remove yourself from reality, and the role portion suggests a character or set of characters that you are transferring your reality to. In roleplaying, it is as if you become the character: you assume his appearance, personality, and other characteristics that define his identity. This implies a cutoff between your Out-of-Character knowledge and what you have learned In-Character.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I have had experience in forum roleplays, however, this will be my first realtime roleplay.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-Gaming is roleplaying using knowledge you obtained out of character. This could constitute using knowledge of bugs to your advantage, harassing weaker people before learining of their weakness in character, or using co-ordinates to your advantage. Meta-Gaming is generally unacceptable in roleplay.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power-Gaming is playing the game in order to achieve a specific goal mindless of all other considerations, including vital roleplay elements. This may or may not constitute Meta-Gaming as well, depending on the situation.

What do you expect this server will be like?: After all the positive comments that I have heard about this server on other servers and on the internet in general, I expect this server to be an excellent experience for me to start realtime roleplaying in.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I play on Minecraft Middle-Earth currently, and I don't plan on leaving it. I have played on one SMP server, but they started forcing people to whitelist after they had advertised no whitelisting, therefore, I left that server.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: I have carefully read through the server law, and I intend to abide by it if and when I get whitelisted on Lord of the Craft.

Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules: I promise to abide by all of the server, forum, and teamspeak set rules.

How did you hear about us?: I heard about you on the Minecraft Middle-Earth server.

Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?: I have never previously applied for Lord of the Craft.

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/): I have posted it here, where you are reading it.

In-Character:

Character Name: Anfalond, son of Ulfiel

What Race are you?: I am an elf, born and raised in the great nation of Malinor.

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): Although my great-grandfather was a dark elf, I am almost purely descended from high elves. I have seen too much of the destruction caused by those who have abandoned the old ways to know that I will protect them with all of my being. I am a high elf by blood and a high elf at heart.

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 am young for an elf, not even surpassing a century in age yet, however, I do not intend to let my age stand in my way. I am an elf of Malinor, and I intend to protect it at all costs. Malinor was once destroyed because of their weakness, and I hope for that to never happen again. Although I am a high elf, I believe that military strength is the only hope for Malinor's protection. I believe that our military must be well-trained and advanced. Only when all elves unite under one banner will we ever be able to fight the nations of men, dwarves, and orcs, should they ever turn against us. However, this is not our chief problem. The enemies of all Asulon, the undead, are rising again. Unless we destroy them while we have a chance, we will be overwhelmed. If this happens, where else will we have to run?
