Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name: arkantos1279

How old are you?: 14 yes I am young but I am usually mature.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: I am in America Central time

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I think I do I know my last application did not have the greatest display of grammar and spelling I was buzzed on Dr. Pepper and it was one in the morning.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:I am a loyal guy if you don't screw me I don't screw you once you are a friend I will go through thick and thin to help you out. I have always liked history and fantasy I will admit that to anyone who asks I am a nerd.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Anywhere from thirty hours to three hours my life is not the most stable plus I am doing work for other servers so I can't always be on.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Roleplay is to act like someone one or something else it is to be, think, feel, and live as that character I feel the most fun roleplay is when you lose yourself and really become the character you or someone else has created.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I am currently a player of a pretty well developed server named Crafthammer. Right now I am sort of the second and command of the bad guys(trying something new)

In your own Words, define what the act of Metagaming is: Metagaming is using information that you character is not supposed to know. I understand there is nothing wrong with reading peoples applications and things on the forums but if you use them with your character that is metagaming. One example of metagaming would be if I found a werewolf in the wilderness and automatically pulled out a silver sword when my character does not even know what a werewolf is that would be considered metagaming.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Powergaming comes in many forms and shapes it can be from describing a fight between you and another person and you never have seen this person. Another example would be Then I shoot a fireball from my sword and kill everyone. Those are both examples of Powergaming now for its definition in my own words is to do something and make someone else play along and give them no choice for them to make their own decisions.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I hope it is large enough where I won't become so close to everyone on the server and I can accutly roleplay instead of talking about what happend here and there.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have played on many servers most have just bored me so I left I never was intested in hardcore pvp I liked to talk and well roleplay.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: I have read the rules they make sense people usally work hard so why ruin there fun with greifing and such

Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules: I will do my best.

How did you hear about us?: Well I was looking for roleplay servers and your name came up

Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?: I have never signed up for this server. http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/52149-first-try/

In-Character:

Character Name: Nithdir He was also called Woodbud by his mother when she was not drunk.

What Race are you?: Elf

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

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.):

He was born in a farming town on the outskirts of the forest of Malinor. His mother and father were both Wood elves his mother used to be a noble until she married his father then she left her kingdom and went to live with his father he was a good man until Nithdir was born around the same time a cruel corrupt tax collector came to town. Nithdir's father had to work twice as long and twice as hard. When he stopped making as much his wife started to complain all the time she soon started to drink and would stay drunk for days. Nithdir was mostly left alone during his youth except of a few kids he played games with. He learned to enjoy nature because it was the only place where he was not hit by his mother or worked like a dog from his father. He respected his father but his mother he resented, he thought she was selfish and full of hate he still has nightmares of her drunken rages. He understood that his father had to work as hard as he did to support him. Once when he was 12 his mother grabbed a stick made for getting the cows to move into the corral then she beat him repeatedly over his face he was afraid that day he grabbed a wooden sword carved by his father before he became smothered in work and left. He left a note for his father stating that he still loved him he just he had to go and find his own destiny.

After years of travelling taverns and different towns he learned that people are just not nice. Even though people were not nice to him he would always help people the best he can. He started to think that he was the only one he could rely on. He will not hurt anyone without a really good reason he will not rob innocents or hard workers 12 years on a farm taught him about hard work and loyalty he is very suspicious of government because of the tax collector that troubled his father. He has very little loyalty for his race he would just as soon save a dying elf as he would a dying orc. He is not sure where he will end but he does not care as long as it is survival. He is not a bad guy he has just not got a break he hopes to find a place where he can settle down.

What is your Character's ambitions?: He has no direct plans other than not dying he has been surviving for 8 years he is not really worried about luxuries or goals though he does hope to settle down and ironically even starting a farm.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): He has never been properly trained with a bow he shoots with minor skill but his favorite thing is a sword from day one he trained with that wooden sword even though he is supposed to be from stereotypes to use a bow he usually uses that to his advantage to pull out a sword and throw of his enemies

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? He is a great hunter he has an extensive knowledge of traps. Since he has not had a steady source of food he has had to hunt to get his food been. He also is good with a blade he likes to twist and turn and confuse his enemies.

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format):http://www.minecraftskins.com/skin/154930/elven-archer/ I am decent at making skins but I thought this one is alot better then my trials.

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? I pull my blade slightly out of it's sheath and ask what has this halfling done. The guards would reply he is a halfling why not rob him. My character would get mad very quickly and start shouting the first thing he would do is tackle the first guard and hit him with the wide of my sword on the helmet knocking him out. After that the other guard would chase me I would run to the soonest cover I could found and when I lost him I would get behind him and shooting an arrow through the soft of his skin not to do permanently harm just to show him it is not smart to mess with people they might just surprise you.

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? Nithdar: Hello how are you doing this fine morning can I see your wares Merchant: Yes... yes you may. He lifts open his chest I find it is filled with useless items such as flowers and robes. Nithdar: I am sorry you have nothing that I am in need of.

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?: I steer clear nothing I did not earn is not mine. Though I would leave a note saying: You might want to lock your stuff up better.

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? Hungry and lost my leather armor is cut. I wander into their town I am excited to hear a voice that I understand after talking with the trading camps guard so he will give me access I would like to be pointed into the direction of their leader. Leader: Who are you? Me: I was lost in the forest will you give me food in trade of work? Leader: I have some crates that could be moved from the front of the camp to the back. Me: I am on it. Leader: Ok after that is done and ask for some food and you will be fed.

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?: I would run to the leader and ask to help and if he agrees I would ask for a sword and that is it. Guard: Are you sure you only want a sword how about some armor? Me: *grins* It would only slow me down. Guard: Well meet me at sunrise we will then march and attack them. Me: See you in the morning. The sun is rising as slow as a up hill river. I want to attack so bad I say under my breath. We then see ten men riding on black horses. We attack at when they get 100 steps from us. We then draw are bows and shoot we took out 3 of the shadows of after a battle of 6 hours we come out victorious. Then the leader treats us all to free ale in the tavern which I politely pass and ask for water instead.
