Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name:sodaplant

How old are you?:14

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:United States, Chicago time

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes, my strongest subject is English,and I read lots of literature, so I am familiar with bigger words and, of course, correct grammar.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I love basketball, minecraft, and RPG's. I always love to slip into a book or a movie, and forget about everything that troubles me, and I guess that is one of the reasons I like role-playing so much.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Sometimes 3-4 nights, sometimes less, depends on my schedule, mostly.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Role-playing is turning into a different person, and living in that persons world. Role-playing allows you to define yourself in different ways, and leave your normal life.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I only play on minecraft role-playing servers, I play skyrim all the time (and I know that isn't "roleplaying" but me and my friends when they bring their laptops play skyrim, and role play like that).

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-gaming is giving your character information he/she would not have, such as looking at someones username and going "hey joe" even though your character has never met joe before. Meta-gaming can apply to many things, though, not just names such as the locations of enemies, bases, and things of that nature.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power-gaming is allowing your character to do things that other people cannot react to i.e. (I am joe) "Joe steals Bob's purse, then stabs him in the back". This would be considered power-gaming because Bob has nothing that he can do.

What do you expect this server will be like?: This server is (butt-kissing aside) the best minecraft role-playing server, and I love both of those things.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: Well, I have played on many role-play servers, though I have not played in a while, in particular, I remember playing on a server with Omnyaxle (a member here) which was fun, and I remember a LOTR based server a lot like this one.

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

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

How did you hear about us? Did someone refer you?: No, I was searching for planet minecraft and happened to find it when searching for a real role-playing server, since many servers nowadays claim to be role-play, but really they just have mcmmo and think that makes it an RPG.

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

(same from my last app)

Thorn grew up without a mother, as she died giving birth to him, but he and his father had a fine life in Alras. They fished, they farmed, and Thorn loved his life. Farming made Thorn muscular, which benefited to his relationship with the girls in the village and the boys, which Thorn cared about, for he was very vain. After years, Thorn had grown into a tall, good looking man, who was very proud of what he had accomplished, and one day Thorn began talking to a girl, Remina, who he became absolutely fascinated with, he loved her with every fiber in his body, and she loved him too. Exactly six nights before they were too be wed, Remina dissapeared, which thrust Thorn into a deep depression. Thorn stopped talking to people, and became known as the "Lurker" as he would solemnly walk around the village, not talking. Thorn was looking for guidance, and help, and he never got any, which contributed even more to his changing personality. Soon after, one day when Thorn was sitting by the lake, sipping rocks, a man came up to him, and said "Your father has....passed." Overwhelmed with greif, Thorn let out a roar of bellowing rage and greif, of the likes he never could have imagined. When he calmed down, he went back to the village, and wept by his fathers lifeless body, for his father was the person he cared for most.

That night, Thorn had gotten his fathers blade, and was going to kill himself, when just before he thrust the sword into his chest, he heard a voice,

"Don't do it boy, your meant for things." Turning around slowly, Thorn saw a strong man, a man who had an aura, of, Thorn couldn't put his finger on it, authority?

"Dont do it."

"W-w-what am I supposed to do?"

"Come with me"

Thorn figured it didn't matter what happened, so he went with the man.

"You need to learn the ways of the hunter, the ways of the blade."

And every night, at that time, the man showed up, and Thorn practiced, it was the only thing in his life that he felt like calmed him. Stabbing the tree helped him vent his anger, and slowly, Thorn turned back into the tall muscular man he was. After three months, the man came back, and bestowed Thorn one of the nicest objects he had ever seen, a golden sword with rubies lined, and a dragon engraved on the blade.

"This is my final gift to you."

"Thank you."

Thorn grabbed the blade, and immediately it felt like an extension of his arm, and he loved it.

"goodbye then!"

"Wait!"

"What?"

"What is your name?"

"Thats for me to know and you to find out." The man winked, hopped on his horse, and rode away. Thorn decided if what the man said was true, then he was meant for something, and that night, he got his sack, and he set off.

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? Thorn, immediately realizing that these men will try and make an excuse if he calls them out, yells

"HEY! You two bulbous pig-bellies better stop!"

The warriors turn to Thorn, clearly angered, when they start toward him, Thorn yells

"RUN!"

The halfling obeys. Thorn quietly takes note that these two men are rather....large...and so he begins to run, hoping to outrun them, behind him, Thorn hears

"HEY BOY! I LOVE A GOOD CHASE!"

Thorn keeps running until he finds a hiding place under a tree where he waits for the warriors to pass before carrying on his way, feeling good about what he did.

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?

"What do ya got for sale?"

"Well, mostly just clothes, but I also have a nice dagger right here."

"Oh?" Thorn peers into the small, oak wood box the merchant is holding and sees a fine dagger adorned with precious jewels.

"How much?"

"More than you got."

Thorn, realizing this is probably true, turns and walks away.

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?: Thorn is very fond of nice blades, but knows that it would be very dishonorable to take the gold blade, so instead he takes one iron bar, and then rests for about an hour before leaving.

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? Thorn asks

"Do you have anywhere to sleep?"

One of the women cradling a small baby points to a hut about 15 yards away. Thorn walks in to see beds taking up almost the whole hut, with many injured men laying in the beds.

"What happened?" Thorn asks.

"In their sleep, someone lit a fire in these people's huts while cooking, it burned many of them."

Thorn begins to examine them and notices many burn marks, and hears moans. Thorn knows this is not good to stay here, in case someone is infected, but offers some assistance.

"You can give them water when they need it." The man says.

"Okay" Thorn takes a bottle of water and helps the people for an afternoon before carrying on his 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?: Thorn knows he must help, after all, he is a good swordsman, and by the desperation in the mans voice, they need all the help they can get. Thorn begins walking down with three men, and are ambushed, just how one of the men said they would be. Thorn aims to injure, not to kill, and as they fight Thorn realizes that everyone is getting tired, they are evenly matched. Thorn hopes someone else will kill their matchup, as Thorn does not want to. As if on cue, the eldest man kills a large, beefy, bandit with a curved sword. This makes it four on three, and Thorn and the other men quickly immobilize all of the men. As they go back for their reward, the man has a nervous look on his face when they ask for the reward and says

"We do not have it right now."

"WHAT?!" one man yells.

"Sorry, but we cannot currently pay you."

Thorn decides to leave in case things get ugly, though he is still very upset.
