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.lordofthe...-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 looked around for anyone else nearby 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 doing what will better himself. 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 a 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: *walking over to the warriors and the halfling* You men! *pointing towards the warriors* What do you think you are doing!

Warrior 1: What do you mean? We're just 'borrowing' money from this here eh... Halfing... Right?

Halfling: *nervously and shaking* I-I They who they ar-are b-borrowing th- no no they are taking it from m-me! H-Help!

Warrior 2: You fool! I'll get you for that! *draws his blade and lunges at the halfling*

Aiden: Stop! *draws sword and attempts to deflect the blow*

*Warrior 2 makes contact with Aiden's sword and is flung onto the ground*

*Warrior 1 steps up and attempts to slice Aiden's hand off*

*Instinctively Aiden jumps back and draws his bow, the halfling begins to slowly back away*

*Warrior 1 begins to charge Aiden*

*Aiden attempts to shoot the Warrior*

*Because the warrior is focused on charging Aiden, Aiden manages to land an arrow on his shoulder, Aiden then quickly draws his gleaming blade*

Warrior 1: *taking the impact of the arrow* Gah.... *keeps charging after he quickly pulls the arrow out*

*Aiden attempts to cut Warrior 1's sword hand*

*Because Warrior 1 is injured, Aiden is able to throw off his aim but because he is better with a bow, he doesn't cut off the hand*

Warrior 2: *Back on his feet* I'll kill you! *screamed more loudly then intended*

*Guard Captain hears the commotion and runs over with three other guards*

Guard Captain: Stop fighting all of you or you'll be jailed!

*Warrior 1 ignores the Guard along with Warrior 2 and attempts to land a blow down Aiden's chest*

*Aiden attempts to jump back but it hit by Warrior 1's sword in the leg*

Aiden: Gah! Help me guards!

*The guards begin to fire arrows at the warriors*

Warrior 2: Bill, let's get out of here!

Warrior 1: Agreed!

*Both run and two of the guards begin to chase them out of sight*

Guard Captain: *walking up to Aiden* That sure was brave of you to do that.. good work. How's your leg?

Aiden: *Standing up* It's fine I suppose.. I'll just wrap it with some cloth.. I must be off now.. Goodbye.

Guard Captain: Farewell

*Both walk in separate directions*

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: Hmm do you have any arrows?

Merchant: Let me see.. *walks into a small tent behind the stall*

*While the merchant is in there, Aiden spots a lone man in black robes sneaking over to the tent*

Merchant: *exiting the tent* I do indeed have thirty arrows! I'll sell them for 200 Minnas

Aiden: *Still watching the robed man* I'll take it... *hands the money to the merchant*

Aiden: If I were you, I'd look at your tent entrance and call the guards.. *Aiden takes the arrows from the man's hands*

Merchant: Oh I see... Can you stay here while I get them?

Aiden: I suppose..

Merchant: Excellent.. *rushes towards a guard tower*

Aiden: *sneaking behind the robed figure* Who are you?

Robed Figure: *startled* Oh-Me-I-I was-was ch-checking th-this t-tent to s-see if it's s-stable.

Aiden: *pretending to believe him* Oh I suppose that's okay then.. *walks back to the stall then hides and watches the man again*

*The robed figure goes into the tent*

Guard 1: Is this your tent?

Merchant: *whispering* Keep it down! Yes, it is.

Guard 1: *whispering as well* I see.. Let me have a look inside.

*Guard 1 goes into the tent and yowls in agony*

Aiden: Oh no.. *rushes over to the tent*

Merchant: Ahh! *yelling loudly* GUARDS! HELP! THEFT MURDER!!!

Aiden: I'll take care of this! *kicks over the supports that hold the tent up, causing it to fall making an outline of the Robed Man*

*Guards 2 and 3 approach*

Guard 2: What's going on!

Merchant: The man in the tent is a thief and a murderer! Get him!

*Robed Figure attempts to sneak away but the Guards rush over and cuff him*

Guard 3: Your coming with me.. You there *pointing to Aiden* Get that guard to a healer as fast as you can!

Aiden: Alright. *goes over to the wounded guard and picks him up*

*Aiden rushes the man to the nearest healer*

Healer: What is it?

Aiden: This guard needs help! He was stabbed in the chest!

Healer: *inspecting the guard* I see.. place him here then be off!

*Aiden places the guard on a small table then walks away from the Healer's home, evaluating the situation he was just in*

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 blacksmith.

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: Hello there fine men! Do you by any chance have some food that I could purchase?

Trader 1: *In a rough voice* I have some pork that I could sell to you.

Aiden: Hmm how much pork do you have and what is the cost for half of what you have?

Trader 1: I have ten pieces of this fine meat.. I'll sell you five for a mere fifty Minnas

Aiden: *thinks for a moment* Hmm I'll take it *goes over to the trader and gives him the money*

*Trader 1 gives Aiden the pork*

Aiden: Thanks. Does anyone have some arrows or know how to repair armor?

Trader 2: I can sell you fifteen arrows for one-hundred Minnas.

Aiden: Deal. *Aiden and the trader exchange items*

Aiden: Mind if I stay here for a night?

Trader 4: You can stay, the more the merrier or something like that..

Aiden: Right.. *Lays down on a spare bedroll and gazes at the stars*

-Suddenly a big bear growls from the trees nearby-

Trader 3: Oh no! Not a bear..

Aiden: *drawing his bow* I'll get it! With some help of course..

Traders in unison: *drawing their weapons* Get the bear!

Aiden: *shooting an arrow towards the noises* Rah!

Bear: *Growling* Grrr Grrraahhh!! *charges into the clearing and knocks over a tent*

*Aiden attempts to shoot an arrow in the bear's neck while the traders slowly advance with their swords*

Bear: *Getting slashed on the foot and having the arrow hit it's shoulder* Grrrrrahhh!!!! *lunges for Trader 1*

Trader 1: Ahhhhhh!!! *throws his sword at the bear's head and runs out of the bear's range of clawing*

Bear: *getting hit by the sword right in the jaw* Rrrahh.. Guh.. *stumbles around slashing at anything that moves*

Trader 3: *attempting to cut the bear's head off* Help me get it's head!

Aiden: *attempting to hit the bear in the eye with an arrow* Agreed! Hit its head!

*Aiden along with traders 2, 3, and 4 attack the bear in unison aiming for it's big head*

Bear: *Falling to the ground with little energy left* Guh.. Ruh..

*Trader 3 finishes the bear with a blow to the chest*

Trader 4: *panting* That was interesting..

Aiden: Agreed now I'm going to get some rest.. *Aiden goes to his bedroll and falls asleep while traders 1 and 3 skin the bear and take out it's meat while throwing the rest of it out into the woods*

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: *Approaching the guard leader* I'd like to sign up to help defeat these bandits.

Guard Leader: Hmm alright.. What are you good at?

Aiden: Well I'm very stealthy.. I could be a scout if you want. I'm also a good marksman.

Guard Leader: Hmm I'll have you scout ahead then report back to me when we go to attack. You shall also be mixed in with all of the other archers.

Aiden: Alright. *walks over to his room in the town's tavern and sleeps until daybreak*

-Morning time-

Aiden: *yawning* Gotta... Get.. Gear... On...

*Aiden drowsily puts on his apparel and then grabs his bow and walks towards the Guards and volunteers who look like they are about to depart*

Aiden: I am ready to scout ahead.

Guard leader: Wonderful. We shall begin marching twenty minutes after you depart.

Aiden: Alright. *Aiden trots out of the town and goes to the camp*

*When the camp is in sight, Aiden sneaks past the sentries and looks around for a tent with armor or weapons*

*Aiden eventually spots one and sneaks down into it*

*Once inside Aiden counts their supplies and takes note of its condition*

*Aiden then sneaks back out of the tent and trots back to where he believes the guards are probably located*

Aiden: *walking up to the leader* Here is my observations: *Aiden tells the leader all about the camp; where the easiest place to break in would be, the armory tent, how many archers there are, and other things that would help the Guard Leader achieve his goal of killing all of the bandits*

Guard Leader: I see. Thank you then... Go join the archers over there *points towards a group of five men with bows and quivers full of arrows*

*The attackers continue on marching for another half hour before they reach the camp*

Bandit Sentry: Guards! Attackers! Emergency at the front gate!!!!

*Bandit Archers rush up to the towers located around the camp and station themselves on its sturdy wooden walls*

Guard Leader: Archers! Fire! Infantry, Follow me!

*Aiden and the other archers begin to fire all of their arrows at any bandit foolish enough to pop up out of his hiding place*

*The Guard Leader leads ten men over to the weakest part of the wall and orders two of the men to put up ladders*

*Once the ladders are up the infantry pack themselves at the bottom of the ladders while others quickly climb up*

Bandit Sentry: Over there! Up the wa- *Bandit sentry stays out of hiding for too long and is hit by a stray arrow*

Aiden: Ouch.. What a horrible way to go.. *shoots another arrow in the direction of the gate*

*The infantry make it up onto the wall and begin to fight the bandits that come to meet them*

Infantry Guard 1: Die you outlaw! *attempts to decapitate Bandit 1*

Bandit 1: *ducking down to avoid the blow* Woah! Die you guard! *attempts to stab the guard in the stomach*

*Guard 1 is hit but his armor takes in most of the blow*

-The fight continues like this for another three hours. In this time Aiden and the other archers go up onto the wall and surround the remaining bandits, trapping them in the leader's tent-

Aiden: Come out or die outlaws!

*The bandit leader along with his wife and two other bandits come out of the tent with their hands on their heads*

Guard Leader: Well Well Well... Looks like I've caught you.

Bandit Leader: Bah just get on with it. Take us away.

Guard Leader: Right.. Guards! *Two guards go up and handcuff all four people* Everyone else, Take the good items from this camp for the guard barracks in town then burn this 'camp' to the ground!

Guards: Will do!

*Guards begin to burn the camp to the ground while Aiden walks over to the leader to accept his reward*

Aiden: Err I do get payed for this correct?

Guard Leader: What? Oh yes, of course. Here you are *hands Aiden five-hundred Minnas*

Aiden: *accepting the Minnas* Thank you! See you around I suppose *Aiden strolls back to the town to have a drink and share stories about the battle with everyone*

I am very sorry, but your application has been moved to the denied section of the forums. There are numerous reasons for this, all of which I have included in my feedback below this message. In the mean time there is an abundant source of information, stories, guides and other helpful tips to get you on your way to being accepted; all you need to do is look around. I would suggest the lord of the craft wiki and application submissions section of the forums to start off your little quest to make the best application. Good luck!

The reasons that I have denied you are:

Your have used incorrect formatting of the application.

You need to re-copy the application format. Make sure you have copied the text from the white box and not anywhere else. Also make sure that you do not delete anything in [these square brackets] as they are vital to keep the colour, boldness and size of the text. If you are having trouble because your entire application turns out in funny colours, make sure that you are writing your answers on a line underneath the question, as this is a common error and can mess up the formatting of your application.

You disregarded the feedback of an application team member.

You NEED to follow the feedback of application team members. This shows your ability to follow orders and respect the rules of the server. If you fail to do so, you will be denied.

Your answers to the favourite tool/best skill questions are underdeveloped.

You need to justify why you have chosen the choices you have. It is all well and good that your character can run really fast, or is light on their feet; but why?

You need to embed the screenshot of your skin.

I cannot use the tiny .png file to view your skin, I need a full sized screenshot. To embed a screenshot of your skin, follow these steps:

1. Go in-game and press the “F5” button TWICE. (Not once as this will show the back of your character)

2. Take a screen shot by pressing the "PrntScr" button on a windows computer or press F2 on the keyboard, then go to start => Run and type in this: %appdata%/.minecraft/screenshots

3. Find the screenshot and open it in an image manipulation program such as Paint or Gimp.

4. Crop the image so that only the area close to your skin (including the skin) remains.

5. Save the file and go to tinypic.com

6. Upload the file

7. Click ONCE on the text box underneath: "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards"

8. Right click and copy the entire text

9. Paste in your new application

*Note* If you want a tutorial for Macs, please send me a message on the forums.

Other than that a lovely application. Very creative :)

If you have any questions about my feedback, or would like to create some constructive criticism about the way I give feedback (I.E am I being TOO blunt, or am I coming across rude) then please send me a message! I take all questions, none are stupid! :) You are not allowed to apply again for a full 24 hours.
