[Atraga 0]

Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name: Shmoopernator

How old are you?: I am 14 years old.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: UTC/GMT +10 hours Australia, Victoria

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I have a good understanding on the English language with quite good skills in grammar.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: My name is Kristian. I am more of a outgoing person and I love things to be precise and planned. Doing this I have completed many adventure maps without a death. I have more patience than the average person and I consider myself rather mature for my age as I can get a long with people double my age as if they were a great friend of mine. I am also very much in to video games and quite a few of them are RPG's and MMORPG's.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: I would have to say about 15 – 20 hours.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying is basically taking on a role of another person with a set of different attributes, a different personality and a different appearance. It in this case I am taking on the role of Ceiron the Elf born in old Alras, Aegis.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I am always meeting new people and immediately sucking them into to a role playing situation like playing custom games on halo, playing on another minecraft server or in my drama class. I find it amazingly fun.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: It is where a character learns a piece of information from outside the role-playing game like the event of an upcoming attack from an enemy or the cords of a base. Characters must learn all information like this in game.

Example: One person talks to another in OOC on lordofthecraft.net and looks at his friends character's appearance and has learned their name. He see's them in-game and says "Hey Thad!" To his friend that he talked to in LOTC.net This is meta-gaming as the character has never seen this person through their life before.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power-gaming is pretty much making a perfect character. A character that can perform something impossible like killing an army of Orcs with the characters hands. It is forcing something against the other character/s where they have no option.

Example: I stumble across two bandits and they take out their swords as they want to take my minas but before they can move any closer as they are about 15 meters away I take out my bow and shoot them both straight in the head with my newly made arrows. Obviously power-gaming.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect it to be a server like no other. Probably like World of Warcraft? I am still playing that every now and then. I hope this will be a new life for me in minecraft, and one I will keep coming back to. I’ve seen many videos and lets plays and I absolutely cannot wait.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have played on another role playing server as a pyromancer but it was shut down as the community had died. I’ve also played on a few different smp and hardcore pvp servers but it’s not the same.

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

Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and TeamSpeak set Rules: I promise to never break the rules you hold for all my days where these rules oblige.

How did you hear about us?: I heard about you on YouTube.

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

In-Character:

Character Name: Ceiron

What Race are you?: Elf

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.): Ceiron is an elf with smooth olive skin to match a medium build. He has brown hair with eyes you can’t help but notice. Though with his deep blue eyes he is not loud at all. He keeps to himself most of the time. He can be very mysterious and scary at times but on first appearance that doesn’t seem to be the case.

At a young age long ago in the times when Aegis was still around they lived in the city of Alras peacefully. When Ceiron was only ten years old he was given his very first bow which was made from one of the finest birch trees around Alras. He was happy with this weapon but he could be happier. Once a week Ceiron, his father and his grandfather all went left Alras into the wilderness for a night to collect resources for their small market to make the minas necessary to live. As the walked out the gates on that day Ceiron couldn’t help but stare at the shiny swords all the guards were carrying. He knew that was his weapon of choice at first glance that the sword was his weapon of choice.

After a few weeks of going to the wilderness and back he was average at a bow for the time he has used it and it does not excite him at all. After coming back he had walked passed a small gladiators arena were they were fighting with swords. He couldn't bare to not have this tool in his grasp any more. He asked his father to teach him the ways of a swordsman. His father was delighted and said of course. After a few years Ceiron was quite skilled with the sword and almost as good as his father. After a while into it Ceiron was beginning to use the sword to hunt the mobs in there trips to the wilderness. As the bow was stereotypical to his race his father was getting worried until one day he popped the question. Sword or bow? Without hesitation Ceiron replied in a smart alec voice.

Ceiron: Sword.

Father: Mhm, I can tell. I have set you up to train with a sword master once a week. This will cost us a bit more each week but we can afford it. ((He smiled))

Ceiron: Thank you father. You’ve made me quite happy.

After a years went on there was not much to Ceiron’s life. He had started showing signs of manliness much earlier than the average elf. When Ceiron grew to the age of two hundred he looked to be a fully grown elf. At this time in life Ceiron was hurt a lot and couldn’t take it. Not physically but emotionally. He had made some deep relationships with some of the humans their. After a long time his friends had died of old age or other various reasons so Ceiron was taking it out on his family. He grew a bit ignorant and for some reason, up himself but he will soon learn his leson. At this time in his life the undead have risen from the depths of the nether. It was hell on earth.

As soon as the city was informed they had made an army specifically for this and Ceiron applied. They had taken out village after village and certain cities. As soon as the undead hit Alras, Ceiron was so eager he volunteered to be the first in line thinking as he was so good and that they would be nothing to him. As they tried to invade the city in the dead of the night Ceiron rushed straight towards the enemy by himself. Behind him his grandfather has seen him running and ran after him. Ceiron’s father was not there as he had hurt his arm so he could not see what happened to his father on that day and will never know. He assumed the undead had killed him in which they did but this wouldn’t of happened if wasn’t for Ceiron’s stupidity.

As Ceiron ran to kill them out of nowhere came a strike of lightning in his path. He was shocked and when he got up, infront of him he saw the biggest amount of zombies he has ever seen in his life. He got up and at that point realized his mistake put at that point it was to late as one zombie grabbed him but before anything more could happen his grandfather jumps to slash the zombie’s arm but the zombie pulled it back. At this point Ceiron had looked at his grandfather for the last time and all he said was run. He turned to run but before he could move al that far a skeleton shot him directly in the foot. He was in immense pain but that did not stop him though it slowed him up a lot. His grandfather realized his had no choice but to let them take his life for Ceiron to live. As Ceiron got back into the city he was a forever changed person.

As the guards had not seen him leave they didn’t know he rushed out by himself so no one new of his grandfather except for him. Later as he returned without notice he had ripped the arrow out of his foot treating it himself for a minute or two. After he was done he got up on the tower to shoot with the bow from above. The battle was long and hard fought and Alras was safe for now. He returned home to deliver the bad news and his family had mourned for his grandfather for years but they are over it now.

The undead had finally overrun almost all of Aegis and all of humanity was thought to be doomed. Before they were wiped out there was a glimmer of hope. Not to save Aegis but to survive somewhere else. There was an ancient portal to a new land named Asulon and all survivors had left for the new land including Ceiron and his family. As of now they are currently living in new Alras in Asulon making a living and staying alive but Ceiron thinks there is more to his life then there is right now and he is correct. His first plan is to travel to cloud temple and go from there.

As of now Ceiron is two hundred and thirty years old through human years and he is looking as young as ever. What will he find? Where will he go? We will just have to see.

What is your Character's ambitions?: To become a master at the tool known as the sword. He plans to join a guild and live for something. Protect something, be somebody and thrive in the world we know as Asulon.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Surprisingly a sword, and mainly for the reason that Ceiron had lived in a human city ((Alras)) and had seen many heroes and great swordsmen come and go and aspires to be just as good as them.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? He is quite persuasive and is very sneaky as well. At many times he is unnoticed by all. He is also very handy with a sword unlike most elves but is decent with a bow.

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

He has elf ears though you just can't see them.

Other Information about your Character: Ceiron is quick to think. He will plan out what his best option is in the worst of situations.

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? As I travel the gravel roads in search of a new city to visit from the cloud temple I stumble across a Halfling getting harassed by two well equipped orc warriors. I feel as if I should help him and I know the perfect way. I cut my self in the leg with my sword as I can see an entrance to the human capital named Arethor to the Kingdom of Renatus.

I get a head start to the city and call out to the two orcs.

Ceiron: Hey Idiots. You both suck! I bet you can’t even win a war against any other race!

As soon as they hear this they completely forget about the halfling. They start running towards me as fast as they can but I’m steadily keeping ahead. As we run the Halfling shrugs at what had just happenede and walks off but I still have these two to deal with. As I run up to the guards at the front of Arethor I call for help. They quickly respond and come to my aid.

Guard: What’s going on here?

Ceiron: They were trying to take all my minas so I ran but they cut my leg! ((Small, scared voice.))

Orc: Wait… Wha?! Tat nev-

Guard: I don’t want to hear another word of it. Leave this place now or punishment will be enforced!

The orcs realized they could not win this fight and walked off.

Guard: You should be more care full this time when traveling the roads by yourself ok?

Ceiron: “hank you and yes, I’ll be sure to. ((Said with a grin.))

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?

Ceiron: Mmm, just browsing.

In the corner of my eye I see a glimmer of light from the suns ray. It is an iron sword. One tool of which I am lacking.

Ceiron: That sword, how much?

Merchant: Ah, this girl ey? She’s one of a kind I tell you. I’ll sell it to you for lets say 250 minas”

I stand there in front of the small wooden stall and just stare at his eyes laughing at the very expensive price for this one iron sword.

Ceiron: Listen, I just need a good sword and that sword there is no different from the iron sword in that giant jungle-looking stall over there. Their swords are selling at a much cheaper price. I could easily buy it for 100 minas but I’m giving you the chance to let me take this one of you. Deal or no deal? Just say the word.

Merchant: Argh. How about one hundred and thir-

Ceiron: 100 or nothing.

Merchant: Fine, fine. Here you go.

I lay down 100 minas and walk of with the sword on my shoulder and cackle as I move on. I turn to look at his face and it is not a good one.

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 study the hut and it has a sign saying Barri’s Hut. I enter the hut and take a sign from my bag and stick it in the ground in front of the chest, which says ‘Hide what you have.’ I take one iron ingot and write on the sign ‘Your lucky I didn’t take all of it.’ As I walk for about thirty seconds until I see a grey-haired dwarf.

Ceiron: Hail. What is your name dwarf?

Dwarf: Me name is Barri the blacksmith. Why do ye ask? ((suspiciously said))

Ceiron: Oh I think someone is in your hut taking stuff from your chest if there is anything in there. You’d better run!

Dwarf: Of course... Thank ye elf.

He hurries along himself towards his hut. I start running so he can’t find me later on.

Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you in the common tongue, how do you respond?

As I approach the camp barely stumbling from hunger and exhaustion a young, roudy man comes it to me with a warming smile on his face.

Merchant: Ello there young traveller. You look horrible!

Ceiron: Wow thanks.

Merchant: No problem! ((Not understanding my sarcasm.))

Ceiron: Anyway, Its midday and I need to get going. Do you have any bread or pork?

Merchant: It’s ye lucky day mate but it looks like to me that In your practically out of minas I'm guessing. Am i right?

Ceiron: Uh, well, i don't have much.

Merchant: I’m being te nicest human out right now. Here ye go lad ten pork on the house.

Ceiron: This is a great gift from a stranger i barely know. I must give you something. ((Looks through bag)) Ah, I do have one thing you might want. Before I left for my journey I brought a whole bunch of equipment including a golden hoe. Take it. It’ll be more usefull to you than it will to me.

Merchant: Thank ye lad. You’re a kind one.

Ceiron: Same to you.

As I walk of in a much better state I turn and smile. He does the same.

You hear word that bandits occupy the road outside the town in which you have been staying. The town guards 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 walk up to the leader of the party.

Ceiron: Whatever the reward is I would be glad to help out.

The leader boasts in reply looking at my scrawny body from the lack of food whilst traveling through the wilderness.

Leader: Hahaha, what would you know about fighting dear boy?!

Ceiron: Watch.

Out of my quiver I draw three arrows and load my bow. Across the road there are three targets. I look at him and then at the targets. Within a matter of seconds all three arrows have left have gone into three targets almost with one barely making the centre point.

Ceiron: What does that tell you?

Leader: Uh.. Me bad mate. Your on.

I smile in delight.

Ceiron: I’m not half bad with a sword either. By the way, what’s the reward if we are successful?

Leader: 200 minas each and whatever we loot.

Ceiron: Let’s do this.

Accepted.

Some nice improvements.

I have sent you a message concerning powergaming, but apart from that your application was pretty nice! :)

Try not to Roleplay with too much of a great bow skill as people may call you powergaming if you RP hiting someone with an arrow from a mile away for example.

Also remember that stealing in the wilds IS acceptable, but when you are in a protected zone you can be banned for stealing.
