Aiden_Ajk's Whitelist App

[Aiden 173]

Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name: Aiden_AJK

How old are you?: 13

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: U.S.A central time.

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

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I love to play video games as much as I love acting and roleplay. I have a good sense of humor and like to help people and do the right thing. On previous RP servers I've been on I've improved many people's roleplaying skills. I hope to get even more acting and roleplay time in on this server.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: As much as my plans allow. On weekends at least four hours and during the week at least one if I'm not busy. Possibly up to 20 hours a week maybe?

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: I know that roleplaying is when you take on the life of a character that you create. You act out the character's personality and what you believe their actions would be in countless situations. Basically it's acting in a play except there's no script to follow. It's extremely entertaining because you decide the character's actions, not a playwright.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: Well, I used to roleplay on RuneScape but in minecraft I've roleplayed on Skyrim: TAW, Lordran: TLS, Irilith Cradle of Life, and Assassin's Creep V1 and V2.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Metagaming is when a player uses out of character information in character. Some examples are seeing someone's nameplate through the walls then going directly to them and killing them or talking with them. Another example is you hearing that your friend's friend is a dwarf on skype and for whatever reason your character hates dwarves. Going to that particular player who may be disguised and killing him would be metagaming.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Powergaming is when players don't give the other player a chance to react to their actions. Examples are: *Steve punches Bob so hard that he flys through the wall and then dies* or *Joe kills bob in one hit!*

What do you expect this server will be like?: An amazing roleplaying experience based off of Lord of the Rings with a minecraft twist on it. I also believe it will have tons of battles and fights to keep it entertaining.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: Skyrim TAW, It went down, Lordran The Lost Souls Barely anyone goes on and I didn't like the staff, Assassin's Creep V1 It went down, Assassin's Creep V2, I have not really left, my spoutcraft just won't work well.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes, I have read them and I understand them.

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

How did you hear about us?: Browsing the minecraft forums and people's signatures.

Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?: Yes, I was denied for using an older format. Here it is: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/51477-aiden-ajks-whitelist-app/

In-Character:

Character Name: Aiden Redhorn

What Race are you?: Human

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): N/A

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.): Aiden was born in a small cottage in a big forest miles from any civilization. He learned from his father how to effectively hunt for food and other survival skills. From his mother he learned how to cook food and how to use his surroundings to his advantage.

Day after day he hunted, his brown eyes honing in on the animals while he kept silent in the forest with his skills of stealth. He grew to depend on his smaller body to slip through openings in the woods that most others could not. He would keep to himself and stay quiet. The only time he ever opened up to the world was when he was in the woods, solitary.

As he turned fourteen years old, he began to go with his father to nearest town, almost twelve miles away. In this town he stealthily walked around using his hunting techniques to his advantage. He learned countless things while visiting towns near him. For one, you shouldn't trust most people. Another thing he learned was to stay away from the guards, especially the drunk ones. ((He was only 14 at this time, keep that in mind))

On his sixteenth birthday his father gave him an expensive bow from somewhere in a city far away. Aiden cherished this weapon and brought it with him everywhere. He crafted a full quiver of arrows to go along with it. He practiced with it every day on a small target that he attached to a tree along with shooting the animals that he ate for dinner. He grew to make clean, accurate shots consistently. He knew that Asulon could be a dangerous place so he needed to be able to defend himself.

Two years went by and Aiden grew tired of the same woods and the same routine that he had done for all of his life. He packed a bag of supplies along with his bow, his arrows, his father's beloved chestplate of solid iron, which had been given to him from his sobbing father as a good-bye gift, and his hunting knife. From his mother, Aiden acquired an iron cooking pot and a variety of food. With his final goodbyes, Aiden slipped on his leather hunting boots and set out. Aiden explored the landscape and visited many different towns, trading his animal skins for food, arrows, and other items that an adventurer might need.

During Aiden's travels, he encountered many situations where his stealth saved him. One of the situations was when he was nineteen years old. Aiden had been following the road for five days, moving on to the next village. He saw a group of bandits in a fight with some orcs. Sneaking up, he heard them arguing over weapons and supplies. Curiously he got in closer. He then heard someone scream "Die you fool!" then the fight broke out. One of the bandits was flung back into the very bush Aiden was hiding in. He quickly pick-pocketed all of the bandit's money and weapons then ran. From this he learned that he shouldn't poke around with fights unless it's necessary. Now, at the age of twenty, Aiden roams the land helping when he believes he should and stealing what he needs when nobody is around. He now plans to continue adventuring and exploring Asulon.

What is your Character's ambitions?: Aiden would like to explore the land and learn as much as he can. Someday, he wants to become an infamous thief (If I get a villain app accepted I will probably do this) but until then he also has the ambition of being a good travelling merchant.

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

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

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format):

Other Information about your Character: Aiden can be very deceiving and is good with nature.

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? Aiden would walk over and help the warriors take the money. Once the warriors get it, he would steal it from them while they are sleeping. Then he would try to find the halfling to give back some of his money.

In RP:

Aiden: Oh what do we have here? A small halfling eh?

*laughs with the warriors*

Halfling: O-Oh no... not three men...

Warrior 1: Now, give me the money or I'll take it by force! *laughs manically*

Warrior 2: Heh Heh Yeah!

Halfling: Ok fine! Here's all of my Minnas just leave me alone!

*throws the first warrior a bag full of Minnas*

*warrior 1 catches them with a smile*

*halfing runs away quickly*

Warrior 1: Hahaha we will be having a feast tonight!

Warrior 2: Hahaha

Aiden: Right...

*Aiden follows the warriors into a tavern*

Warrior 1: I'll have three drinks! Make them strong ones!

Tavern Keeper: Coming right up.

*Tavern Keeper makes the drinks*

*Tavern keeper hands them to Aiden, Warrior 1, and Warrior 2*

*Warriors 1 and 2 drink gleefully however Aiden just pretends to drink his ale*

*The night continues like this until midnight when the warriors rent a room and go to sleep*

*Aiden sneaks into the room and attempts to steal the Minnas that the men stole*

*Because the men are asleep Aiden is able to take the money without being seen*

Aiden: *walking out of the tavern* Fools these days...

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? Aiden: Do you have any arrows or maybe an oddity in your stock of wares? Man: Hmm let me see... *goes into a large tent behind the stall* *Aiden looks around then attempts to steal a small dagger from the stall* *The man comes back out but takes too long in the tent and Aiden is able to steal the blade* Man: Well I have fourteen arrows but no unusual items. Aiden: Hmm I'll take them *pays the money* Man: Good day to you sir! *gives the arrows to Aiden* *Aiden grins and walks away casually*

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?: Aiden would quickly take the items and then search the rest of the hut, taking anything else. He would then go to the nearest blacksmith to repair his armor with the ingots. He then would sell the exquisite blade to the wealthiest buyer.

In RP

*Aiden walks into the hut and sees the items in the chest, two iron ingots and a fine golden sword*

*He quickly takes the items and searches the rest of the hut*

*When he sees nothing else, he quickly hurries to the nearest town*

Aiden: You there, where can I sell some ingots and a sword?

Man: The blacksmith is right over there.. he'll probably buy them

*Aiden heads to the blacksmith*

Blacksmith: 'Ello what can I do for you

Aiden: I'd like to sell these items *shows the sword and ingots*

Blacksmith: Ooooo a fine weapon. I'll pay you five hundred Minnas for it.

Aiden: *with hesitation* Fine, deal

*Both men give their items to the other person*

Aiden: Good day.

Blacksmith: You too.

*Aiden leaves, happy with the deal*

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? Aiden would cautiously approach them and see what they had. He would then attempt to purchase a bit of food then he would pretend to move onward. What he really would do, however, would be to hide in some trees nearby then sneak into the camp at midnight and steal some more food and possibly a sword or some of the money that he had given them earlier.

In RP

Aiden: Hello there.. Do you have any food for sale?

Merchant 1: I do, I can sell you ten apples for say... 50 Minnas?

Aiden: Deal *pays the Minnas*

*Merchant 1 gives Aiden his ten apples*

Aiden: Right then, now I must continue

*Aiden leaves the camp*

>> At NightFall... <<

*Aiden sneaks up to the camp and sees that the traders are asleep in their bedrolls*

*Aiden quietly sneaks up to one of the merchants' coin purses*

*Aiden attempts to steal one fourth of the Minnas*

*Aiden barely succeeds because the men are sleeping. He barely is successful because one of the men stirred slightly when he opened the bag*

*Aiden quickly scurries away with the money*

Aiden: *out of earshot* That was a close one...

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?: Aiden, seeing a chance to get lots of loot, would sneak over to the camp the night before the attack and steal the bandit camp's weapons if possible and some coin as well. Then he would sign up for the attack and loot the corpses of the bandits while picking them off with his bow and arrows. He would then accept his rewards and move on.

In RP:

*Aiden sees the Guard telling everyone about his plans*

*He thinks for a moment then sneaks over to the camp*

*When night falls, Aiden attempts to steal some of the bandits' weapons*

*Because they are all asleep, Aiden is able to steal some of the weapons, not all, however because most are right next to their owners*

*Aiden also attempts to steal a few Minnas and is able to because again, they are asleep*

*Aiden sneaks back to the town*

-The next morning-

Aiden: *walking up to the guards* I will join with you men!

Guard: Good! We are leaving now.

*Aiden marches with the guards to the camp*

Bandit Sentry: Guards! Guards incoming!

Guard Leader: Archers, Fire!

*Aiden along with the archers fire at the camp's archers*

Guard Leader: Infantry, storm the camp on my mark.... 3.... 2.... 1... Go!

*Infantry charges the camp*

*Bandits come out to meet the attackers*

*Seeing his chance, Aiden runs and hides in a nearby bush*

Aiden: *muttered to himself* Come on... Fall dead over here...

*Aiden sees a bandit drop dead only a few feet from his bush*

*Smiling, Aiden goes over and loots his corpse*

Guard 1: Die you foolish criminal!

*Guard 1 stabs at one of the bandits' weapon hand*

Bandit 1: Ahh *falls down and then soon dies from loss of blood*

Aiden: Hmm this could be very profitable.. *Loots the bandit who just died*

-The fighting continues for another hour, the guard eventually kill the Bandit Leader and set the camp on fire-

Guard Leader: Hmm.. Now you over there *points to Aiden* Good fighting here's your reaward *hands Aiden two-hundred Minnas*

Aiden: Thank you.. *walks back to the town, organizing his spoils*
