[Groundedtaco / Drak 0]

Minecraft Account Name: Groundedtaco

How old are you?: 15

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: EST America (Atlanta, GA)

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes I do.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: Im Ben, I am dedicated to minecraft and I am terrible at answering these types of questions mostly because I don't know a whole lot about my self. I love Minecraft, I hate school, and I am really looking forward to playing on this server.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: I play anywhere from 2-10 hours a day, averaging around 6 Hours per day, so Ill say 42 Hours a week. More if I really get into it like i hope to!

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying is (Obviously) The act of playing a role. Role playing to me means taking on a characters personality rather than my own, and being enveloped in a sensational storyline which I enjoy greatly!

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: Shall I begin with Runescape, I continued to play the elder scroll series throughout my years, along with WoW (not hugely role-play) and some guild wars. I have been uber excited to experience a role playing format in Minecraft it being my favorite game for over a year now, it has simply been hard to find the right server.. UNTIL NOW! :D

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: I feel the best way to describe meta-gaming would be a third person omniscient POV with the main character being mine.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Instead of defining power gaming I would like to take this opportunity to give a scenario in which there is a power gamer. When I was growing up me and my older brother always liked to play cops and robbers, my brother being deeply involved with the law and highly trained in the art of the headshot, would always one shot kill me before I could get out the front yard. In this situation i would consider my brother a "Power Gamer"

What do you expect this server will be like?: I honestly have no requirements or expectations, that way I can only be happily surprised. The only thing I really expect is a great community and a fantastic roleplaying experience

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: The other servers I have played on have been either survival build, or survival PvP. Although I am an excellent buylder i prefer not to play creative servers, the only reasons I left these servers were because they went down or my friends traveled elsewhere and I followed, until now i have been searching for a server that had an engulfing survival role play experience for me and my friends.

(One of the friends I hope to be playing with)

Character Name: Drak

What Race are you?: Dwarf

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): I am a pure bread dwarf.

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.): Drak was found a cold winter night the boat he lay in, one of the last from Aegis after the demons invaded. He looked about 10 years old, no parent or guardian in sight when the angry faced but loving pack of wolves appeared around him. Looking like a weak easy supper one of the wolves quickly moved in to grab its meal. Young Drak quickly rose from his boat, lodged in the ice and pulled a hammer from beneath the blankets. Those, the blankets and his hammer were the only thing Drak had, and yet he had made it so far in life. Drak whirl-Wind struck the wolf with a hammer. This act of violence and independence made it clear to the wolves that this young dwarf was tough, and worthy of being in the family.

  After another 20 years with the wolves,  Drak began to think about why he was abandoned and left to fend for himself in this cold angry world. Shortly after his philosophical endeavor, he and his wolves found the Dwarven capitol, where he decided to adopt a more dwarves fit lifestyle. He then joined the Dwarfs and sent the rest of his life training for an amazing battle he knew would come, with his wolf and hammer instincts.

What is your Character's ambitions?: Drak loves mining and slaughtering things with his hammer (or sword)

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

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

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format): http://www.minecraftskins.com/skin/173379/medium-dwarf/ <-- Cannot get screenshot right this second

Other Information about your Character: Special talents include training wolves, mining, and killing. Drak is friendly and good at heart, except for when it comes to someone foreign. He dislikes other races but still gives the benefit of the doubt. Some of Draks flaws include not eating enough, eating too much, being too friendly and sometimes being taken advantage of, and sometimes he forgets he isn't invincible and becomes seriously injured in battle.

Short answer #1- Drak decides that the halving should be able to fend for itself, as Drak thinks that if you can’t fend for yourself, that you should get what’s coming to you, which in this case means the halving loosing his money and his life. He also feels like it’s not worth risking his life over someone he doesn’t know. He slowly walks away, cruelly listening to the dying halving screaming in pain.

Short answer #2- Drak ignores the man’s pompous response and uses the time to sell his rocks and minerals that he has been mining, and gets a good price for them despite the pompous man.

Short answer #3-Drak wouldn’t have taken the items if it were a sword or a bow, but he cannot resist the urge of taking as many ores as he can. He’ll take them, but he feels a little sorry afterwards.

Short answer #4-Drak offers his services to the villagers in exchange for the food and water he so desperately desires, and if they don’t take it, Drak would be happy to take it by force.

Short answer #5-Drak would go and fight and kill the bandits, but he wouldn’t take the money as he feels that jewels are more important than petty coins.

Your Bio has a child no more than a toddler beat the stuffing out of a pack of hungry wolves with a hammer? Although you understand that your Brother was a powergamer you have gone a created a character that befriended a pack of wolves by smacking them about as a child, it shows that you don't understand that there is more than one way to powergame.

I suggest reading other accepted applications and reading the application guides to help you get a sense of what we are looking for and what a realistic character is.

Your Open Response Questions are still not right. Try writing it in the present and not like what you character would do. Because when you are ingame you aren't going to tell the people you are Roleplaying with what you would do but you will being acting it out in the present.

You may notice that this Denial is pretty much the same as what I said yesterday. That is because you haven't addressed the problems I pointed out last time.

Please re apply in 24 hours.
