Minecraft Account Name:

megacomet79

How old are you?:

14 years old

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:

Eastern Standard Time Zone/U.S.

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?:

Yes, I believe I am well educated in grammar

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

I’m usually pretty quiet, only talking if I have something worth saying. I will generally be nice to people, unless they happen not to show the same respect back.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?:

I’d say I would be active on average 10-12 hours a week on the server.

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

To me, roleplaying is a form of improvisational acting. In roleplaying, people can be who they want and develop their own story, but all ultimately work towards the main plot. Therefore, role-playing requires modesty, and one must know his part in the story. Sure, one can rise through the ranks with hard work, but he cannot simply give that title to himself (which would be power-gaming).

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?:

I have played on another role-playing server before for a while.

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

Meta-gaming is the act of receiving information your character should not know through means outside of role-playing. An example of meta-gaming would be if someone were to tell another the location of a top-secret base in real life, and that same day, that person where to “magically discover the location of a nearly-impossible to find base”.

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

Power-gaming is the act of giving oneself an unfair advantage over others via role-playing. The best way to describe it would be through examples of it:

*Making maneuvers that instantly succeed without giving others the chance to respond.

(For example, “*Dummy rips off a guard’s arm.”)

*Doing impossible feats.

(For example, “*Dummy rips apart an army of 200 dragons with his bare hands.”)

*Self-bestowing oneself with power or status one did not earn.

(For example, “*Dummy is now the chosen one, who is destined to single-handedly save the world and rule all the land forever.”)

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I expect the server to have a real fantasy feel to it, with plenty of action and battle. Other than that, I don’t have much more of a mental image of it.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?:

As stated earlier, I have played on another RP server, but left it due to inactivity. I have also played on a survival server, but left because the OP’s kept cheating.

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

Yes, I have read and understood all the rules.

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

Yes, I promise.

How did you hear about us?:

I heard about you from a friend of mine.

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

No, this is my first.

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.):

Backstory

Abbadan grew up in the city of Arethor in the Kingdom of Renatus. He was the son of an engineer and part-time merchant known as Harthon, who lived in the shop district of Arethor. Harthon made a moderate amount of money, and throughout Abbadan’s childhood life was happy. Abbadan’s mother, though, died giving birth to him (a matter most sensitive to him), and therefore he went wherever his father went. While doing his jobs, Harthon taught Abbadan the merchant’s trade and engineering, the latter he found vastly more interesting. Around the age of twelve, Abbadan gained an interest in the Renatus military. He trained himself some basic skills of swordsmanship and close-ranged combat, practicing on sacks of wheat with sticks. When he was sixteen years old (which I will assume is the minimum age to join the military, so do correct me if I’m wrong), he joined the military as a recruit, and relatively quickly became a private.

However, Abbadan was not given much affection in his platoon. Some of his fellow privates did not like the new member for reasons that he never really understood, and gave him a hard time. Abbadan would not allow them to mock him in front of all the other soldiers, and usually fought back, whether it was verbally or physically. Over time, the conflict escalated to its boiling point. Three of the aggressors to him decided to use a dispenser trap prank to hit the platoon’s captain with potions of slowness. Their intention was to blame it on Abbadan, seeing that he was one of the more redstone-inclined of the platoon. Abbadan overheard them planning on the day of the prank, and tried to stop them. The incident resulted in a fistfight between them, which ended up in the storage room. Abbadan was losing until one of the others accidentally knocked over a tank of lava, spilling it, and setting off a TNT cannon. The incident resulted in all of them being kicked out of the military, including Abbadan. From then on, he made a living wandering throughout the Human kingdoms, using his knowledge of engineering to make money. He has also taken up monster hunting out in the wilderness, which has become an alternate source of income.

Age/Appearance

Abbadan is the age of 22. He is at the average height for most humans, and has a semi-muscular build. He has dark brown hair and eyes, a light mustache, and skin tinted tan. On the right side of his face is a faint scar. He wears a blue shirt and brown pants, with a belt. On top, he sports light iron armor, and a helmet.

Personality

Abbadan is a quiet fellow. Most of the time, he is calm and collected, and keeps his cool in a lot of situations. He usually doesn’t talk unless addressed, and is a man of few words to those he doesn’t trust. He will respect those who show him the same respect back, and vice-versa. Even though he does not interact all too much, when befriended he can be a quite considerate man. Though his conversations in the family shop, he has proven to be an excellent diplomat. He’s a skilled engineer, and a brilliant thinker and strategist. He is additionally an adept swordsman, and has an odd excitement towards combat. Despite his eagerness to fight, he never will go into a fight if he knows he is at a sizeable disadvantage, a tactic that has saved his life many times.

What is your Character's ambitions?:

Abbadan has grown tired of traveling constantly, and wishes to find a nice place to call home. He still holds onto his childhood wishes to become a ranking officer in the military, but doubts he can even re-enlist because of the little “incident”. Deep down, Abbadan longs for a purpose more than all. His life since the military has been aimless wandering, and as a result most things have started to feel a little pointless.

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

Abbadan's favorite tool is by far a sword.

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

Abbadan is the most skilled in the field of engineering (such as Redstone and practical architecture).

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?

He would approach them, sword drawn to show he isn’t fooling around. He would ask the warriors what’s going on, and if a chance were provided he would ask the Halfling, too. Talking things over is always something he does before engaging anyone. Assuming they were mugging the boy, he would tell them to leave him alone and return the money, saying (well, lying) that there was a party of soldiers just down the road. If they don’t buy into his bluff, he would take the Halfling and run. He would only engage two armed enemies if he knew he was going to win.

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?

He would probably ask what business the man had, just in case he could do or sell him anything useful. Depending on how busy he is, he may just say, “I’m fine,” and continue.

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?:

He would take the iron, not the sword though, seeing that gold isn’t very useful at all. If someone abandoned it then they probably wouldn’t mind if he took some leftovers, anyways.

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?

Trying to seem as courteous as possible, he would ask for some food, then directions. Seeing that it is a trading hut, he could probably trade whatever he has on him for the food.

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?:

He would take the job and help the guards. He wouldn’t even put too much thought into the decision. He would put more thought into his strategy for attack.
