Maia's 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 grasp 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:

What I know about role playing is that it is when you basically act as a specific character who you exchange in conversations and experiences but using the personality and the mindset of that character. Basically you could be just a normal person in real life but in Role play you could be a well-known drunken Wizard who is trying to find a student. I love the idea of being someone you’re not and that’s why Roleplaying is so fun.

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 basically the use of outside information that your character who you are roleplaying as would not normally know. As an example just say you previously role played as a Viceroy to the kingdom of Alras. And then you rerolled your character as an Orcish Nomad. You would not know any of the knowledge that you gained while viceroy and any use of that like maybe military strategies would be classified as metagame.

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

Powergaming is when your character does an act that is WAY out of character and would not realistically happen. For example just say you are a small halfling that lives his life by sitting by a fire and occasionally fishing from time to time. This halfling would probably never in his life be able to kill an orc by merely snapping his fingers. If he did do that it would be an act of power gaming.

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?:

yes: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/52596-maia-da-orcs-application/

In-Character:

Character Name:

Draka

What Race are you?:

Orc

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

Nomadic

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.):

Draka was raised by an old orc couple. They were not her parents but it didn’t matter to her. Draka never knew her parents. All Draka knew is that they were two merchants who arrived in Asulon off a ship and had lost everything. After Draka was born she was given to the elders of an Orcish camp and her parents left. The elders were named Mok’thek and Osha two powerful shamans of a nomadic clan. They wandered a great amount of desert west of the trade city of Alras. The clan made their living off of the boars they hunted. Draka never liked the idea of hunting, or at least she was never good at it. Farming always interested her but she never had a chance to farm because of her nomadic lifestyle. When Draka turned six blood moons old she was sent out on her own. This Trial was a custom of the clan and many other orcs as a way of proving your worth.

While wandering the desert Draka came across a small log. This was an odd sight so she decided to pick it up. She assumed it was a gift from the gods but for what she did not know. It had begun to storm and Draka rushed into a small cave. In the cave she found a shark flat rock which she started shaving down the log into a walking stick. As she finished the walking stick she sat back and admired her work. She stuck the sharp stone at the end of this stick which she tied it down with some rope she fashioned from strands of bark on the log. The raining stopped and the sun appeared once more. Draka decided to use her makeshift spear to try to get some fish to eat. She walked north where she knew there was a large lake. She arrived at the lake to be welcomed by armed dwarves. She immediately ran as fast as she could but was captured. The Dwarves smuggled her and a few other captives to a fort in a dense forest east of Alras. She along with others were chained to large iron balls and were forced down into a cave. She reached where the cave seemed to end and learned that the Dwarves were capturing slaves and forcing them to work in the mines. Thankfully that was not what they had in mind for her. The Dwarves sent her into a large open cavern where other female orcs were harvesting in a makeshift underground farm. Over the years she worked for the Slavers, as they moved from one mine to the other. It was 8 full blood moons since she was taken captive by Dwarves and they were in another caravan heading to their next work site when from the forest came an ambush. One of the orcs who was captive had been tracked by his clan and they finally arrived. It was a bloody battle and the Orc came out on top. Draka and the other slaves were freed and she thanked her liberators but decided to go back to her clan. She searched the desert that she had traveled with her clan for days but found no sign of her clan. They had hunted the land dry and moved on. Draka, sad and without hope, decided to travel to the Cloud Temple, where the monks reside, and start over, and make a name for herself.

What is your Character's ambitions?:

Draka, 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):

After eight long years of being captive to slavers she had grown fond of her farming hoe. It was the one thing she knew they wouldn’t take away from her as thats why she valued it so much. During the battle she used the hoe to jab one of the dwarves in the knee which made him fall to the ground before he was decapitated by one of the orcs. She still uses the same hoe as a reminder of what her life was under captivity.

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.

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?

Draka 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. “What do you think your doing!” yells one of the warriors. “Tryin’ tu stup lat glub!” says Draka as she quickly strikes the first warrior in the back of the leg. He falls to the ground. The other man tries to help his friend up while Draka and the halfling take a run for it. Finally when they are out of sight the Halfling offers some minas as thanks but Draka declines.

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?

Draka takes a minute to look at what she could use. She spots sac of seeds. “Huw much fer latz seds” she asks. “Depends on ‘ow much you have” the merchant answers. Draka pulls out a small pouch where she wholes her minas and finds it is empty. She then looks at the small nugget of gold she found the day before. “Wuld diz du?” she holds up the nugget of gold. The merchant grabs the nugget and stares closely at it, “I guess this will have to do, ‘ere ye go.” The merchant tosses Draka the sack of seeds. “Rulg” says Draka and then she continues on her way.

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?:

Draka sits down and rests in the small hut. She thinks about who would possibly live here. Draka ponders the idea of taking the items and selling them, but then she thinks of the idea that someone may still live here. She decides to leave the items be and go on her way. When she is far away from the hut she sees a sly elf sneak into the hut and steal everything from the chest. “Skah!” she says to herself. If Draka would have known it would have been stolen anyway she would have taken it herself. Draka, now in a bad mood continues on her way into the wilderness.

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?

Draka stumbles to the ground gasping for breath. The trader welcomes her “Throm’ka.” Draka returns the greeting and proceeds to ask if she could trade anything for some food. The trader raises an eyebrow and asks “Wel, wut du lat hav tu ufer?” Draka lifts up the sack of seeds which she purchased earlier in Alras, “Diz be all Mi hav.” The trader motions for her to wait, he walks into a tent and comes out with a loaf of bread. He hands Draka the loaf in exchange for the seeds. Draka thanks the trader and after resting for a small amount of time returns on her journey.

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?:

Draka, broke and hungry, decides to help out to get some extra coin. She finds the town guard and approached the one in charge. “Mi kin halp lat,” Draka says as she raises her walking stick. “Well if you think you can help then come along las!” says the guard. The small raiding party approach the Bandit camp and charge in swinging their swords like mad men. Draka stays back at first but then rushes in to care for the wounded. The bandits escaped but left a guard wounded. Draka quickly bandages him up and helps him get back to town. The guard thanks her and hands her a sack of coin in exchange for her help. Draka smiles and heads to the cloud temple.
