Maia Da Orcs Application

[Maia 3]

Out-Of-Character:

Minecraft Account Name:

randel94

How old are you?:

17

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:

GMT -5, USA

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

I have a very good grasps on the English language. Though from what I've read about the Orc language I do not think I will be using much of a vocabulary.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

I would consider myself a pretty average high school girl. That is if you exclude the fact that I play video games pretty much all the time. I would consider myself a creative person and a fun person to be around unless you get on my nerves.

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

Between Softball and Schoolwork I could probably get around 30-40 Hours a week (most of that being weekend hours).

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

Roleplaying to me is basically acting. You have your role and basically... you play it. You can imagine yourself as anything you want (within reason) and actually pretend you are that thing and that's why I love it so much.

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

Probably my only experience Roleplaying like this would have to be on a World of Warcraft RP server. I know what your thinking, WoW RP servers? there's never RP on those. Well I found a select group of friends that did RP on that server. We roleplayed as Orcs in a small hunting clan. That was fun but it’s hard to RP in an environment where you cannot really cause change. That is why I am so interested in joining a Minecraft RP server because the possibilities are almost endless.

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

Metagaming is when you gain knowledge of stuff that your Character wouldn’t or shouldn’t know.

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

I honestly had to ask some people on your Teamspeak for this but from what I have gathered. Powergaming is when you do something that your character probably wouldn’t be able to do kind of like if I we’re a baby and I slayed a dragon.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I was asking around on the Teamspeak channel and from what I have heard I can tell this server is one of a kind. I am hoping it is even better than that. I want a good RP experience and this seems like a good opportunity to see if you can truly get one in Minecraft.

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

I actually haven’t played on any other servers. This is my first multiplayer server. I normally just play on single player.

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

Yep, read the rules multiple times (Twice is multiple in my opinion). Enough to understand them I guess.

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

Yeah, I don’t have a reason to break them and even if I did I wouldn’t because that would be a pretty immature thing to do.

How did you hear about us?:

I was just plain looking for a Roleplaying minecraft server. So lets just say google told me.

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

No

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.):

Maia never knew her parents. All she knows is that her father was a great warrior and her mother a shaman. At the age of 4-6 Maia was sent out into the desert for her Trialz. She quickly found a shelter after her second night because the rain was pouring. The next morning she woke up to a cage with other Orc cubs in it. One of the bigger Orc cubs mentioned something about slavery. This scared Maia and she started to cry. She was immediately stopped when a large staff jabbed her in the stomach. Maia noticed the caravan stopped. She peeked over the other cubs and saw an old orc with a hood blocking the way. “Move outta our way!” yelled one of the slave drivers. “As you wish” said an old female voice. And that was all. That same night Maia and the other cubs were tied to one of the cages outside. One of the women in the caravan felt bad for them and let them be outside the cage for the night. Maia turned around as she heard a rustling in the bush behind her. She tried to scream but nothing came from her mouth. A wolf, pure white with a luminescent glow, appeared from the darkness. She nudged one of the other cubs to look but they saw nothing. The wolf whispered to her “come with me child,” Maia looked down and she was unbound. She got on the wolf without hesitation and fell asleep as they rode away from the camp.

When she awoke, the smell of something cooking filled her nose. She immediately jumped out of bed. The old woman from the other day stood in front of her. “Who are you?” Maia said. “You can call me Osha, I can take care of you now.” The old woman said. Maia looked around the room and said “Why did you save me?” All she said was “It was done for the right reasons.” Maia stayed with Osha and lived in the sand hut for 10 years. After 10 years Maia was told by Osha could no longer care for her and she must leave. Maia ventured out of the desert in the direction that Osha told her to go. Osha said she would end up at the Orcish capital and she did.

Later Years: Maia later returned to where Osha’s hut was and all remains of it was gone. No sign of it existed.

What is your Character's ambitions?:

Maia, despite when she was captured by slavers, has always been treated with a great sum of kindness. Her Ambition is to show that same kindness and gain the respect of others. She has no great ambitions of leadership.

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

Her favorite tool would be her walking stick. She can fight pretty well with it but she used it to use it for farming land (Her walking stick is a hoe ingame)

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

She is very skilled at the art of Persuasion, but she also considers herself a pretty good cook. Though few have actually critiqued her cooking.

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

Other Information about your Character:

She is a very quiet young orc and prefers not to fight.

Age: 17

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?

Maia runs to the Halflings aid. She jumps in between the warriors and the Halflings and yells “Stupit nuw!” She tries to look tough but it has no effect on the warriors. She finally convinces them to leave after giving them her possessions. The Halfling turns to her offering to give her some type of reward. “Nub, jusht git outa here.” Maia answers.

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?

Maia, not one for carrying minas on her, tries to convince the merchant for a discount or a trade. The Merchant offers a trade Maia gives him a kiss, and the merchant will give her some bread. She slaps the merchant yelling “Skah lat!” and walks off leaving the merchant rubbing his cheek.

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?:

She looks at the chest staring at the goods with interest, but she does not steal them. She has learned that you should not interfere with things that could hurt others. Especially if they have done no harm. Maia leaves the hut and continues on her way.

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?

*Maia stumbles to the ground gasping for breath. “Sombudy Mi ned fuud!” A trader motions for her to wait. Moments later the trader emerges from his tent with a loaf of bread. Maia takes the bread but breaks it in half and hands the other half to the trader. “Tank Lat” she says calmly and continues on her way.

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?:

She goes to where the guards have gathered. She does not join the war party but offers to help in any way she can.

Denied.

Your definitions of roleplaying, meta-gaming and power-gaming were very brief. Please expand upon them to demonstrate clear understanding of the terms.

Your biography needs some expansion, but mostly to include lore-related material.

Your open response questions were far too short, they need to be expanded upon.

Why is the walking stick her favorite tool?
