Minecraft Account Name: Dannyboyy97

How old are you?: 15

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: EST

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Of course, I was born In Canada and English is my native language.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: My name is Dan, my favourite pastimes are playing Minecraft and playing Basketball. I'm a pretty modest guy, I never lie

and I'm a fairly nice person to be around. I wouldn't consider myself to be a 'troll' because I don't go around annoying others and ruining things for them.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Well I am pretty backed up since I'm starting exams soon, but I plan to dedicate lot's of time to this server in the

Summer, maybe 10-15 hours per week? I can't be sure of any number.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: To me Role playing is like entering a new world, a world where you are a completely

different person and interact with many other different people. In Roleplaying you get to take on another life with a different personality, mentality and body. There

are many different types of roleplaying. You can roleplay as a hermit, wandering the Wilds, living off the land. As a Hermit you hunt, fish, and gather for yourself

and you don't need to worry about war, money, or politics, because none of those are any of your problems.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: Well I have played on a couple roleplaying servers in the past. As far as experience goes though, I think it's

okay to say that I am fairly experienced with roleplay. I've also played many Roleplaying games, like Skyrim, Fallout 3, and WoW and I know how to stay in character

and react to roleplay situations. I understand most of these are Role playing games and they aren't the same thing as roleplaying, but they are similar in some ways.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Metagaming, to put it simply is knowing information that your character is not supposed to know. For example,

you're talking to a lost Elf in a Human city and he asks you how to get to the Lost Woods. Now, you can only use the knowledge your CHARACTER has, and not the

knowledge you have. You cannot go on the Dyn-Map and find the Lost Woods then tell the stray Elf where it is, because that is a prime example of Meta-Gaming. Another

example would be after you get assassinated and run back to where you were assassinated to kill the assassin. That is Meta-Gaming, because you were killed, and after

you die you lose all memory of what happened before you died.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power gaming is forcing a player to do something without the chance to fight back or continue. Power gaming

could refer to roleplay fighting, which is using /me to perform actions. For example, Player 1 disarms Player 2 and stabs him in the heart. This gives P2 no way of

fighting back, because he was disarmed and killed.

What do you expect this server will be like?: Well, I am actually expecting this server to have a very good community as far as roleplay goes, because the friend that

introduced me to this server talks very highly of you guys and how a large portion of the community stays in character and is very experienced with roleplay. I know

there are many different roleplay groups on this server, because of its vast size and diversity, so I will try my best to find a group that fits me.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I've played on a couple hardcore servers before, many of which I forgot the names of. I usually

left them after I get bored with the players or if the server is too easy and there weren't many factions to compete with. I haven't played on many Role playing

servers and when I did, I would end up leaving if the much of the community is inexperienced with Role play or breaks out of their characters frequently. I also co-owned a server in the past even though it isn't active anymore. I also used to play on this server before I got banned, and participated a lot in roleplay.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes I have read over the Law & Guidelines, and one rule which I really like is "No destroying of the worlds

landscape or beauty – we reserve the right to remove ugly structures and ban any player whom destroys the landscape." I've played on many servers where the land is

littered with 1x1 towers and half-built wooden huts and I hate it how many servers allow people to do that.

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

How did you hear about us?: I heard about this server before it was even released. Me and a couple friends moved here after our Rp server became dead and they found the thread on MC forums.

Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?: I made an application and was acceppted a year ago, and I am re-applying

because I was banned and I was asked to create a new application by Robin Drake since lots of changes have been made since the tlast time I played.

In-Character:

Character Name: Aiden Alenko

What Race are you?: Human

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

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.):

Aiden Alenko, a name made popular by his famous descendants, Kaiden Alenko and Dragis Alenko. But also a name which has lost its popularity and respect over the years.

His father ruined the family name by being recgonized only as a drunken slob, wasting his days in the Pub and drinking away the money left by his father. But

truthfully, no one in the family expected Aiden's generation to live up to the name his grandfather created. His grandfather was a brave warrior when Aegis still

inhabited the proud nations of the Humans, Elves, Orcs and Dwarves. He fought the Undead until he died, some even say he returned as a spirit to haunt the Undead! But

sadly his fearlessness and strength was not passed down to his son when he was born. Marcus, Aiden's father, was nothing but a lazy alcoholic. He never swung a sword

in his life, but to be fair he never really had to. The money Marcus' father obtained was enough to support an entire town forever! And if need be, he could easily

hire a couple sellswords to defend him if he was ever attacked. Soon enough though, the riches that were past down from Aiden's grandfather were soon diminished. It

never occured to Marcus that buying the most expensive liqour in the Realm and having no job will eventually leave even the richest man poor as rat. This left Aiden

without anyone to teach him to fight, to educate him in mathematics, politics and sciences and without a single penny. All skills which he would need greatly later in

his life. Because you see, being a dirt-poor human living in the Northern reaches of Asulon without the basic skills to survive, you will either die of hypothermia or

of starvation. Aiden however, is nothing like his Drunkard father and is a quick learner and is very adaptable. Aiden was able to to aquire a steady income by getting

a job as a miner. The work was tough and days were long, but he knew that he had to work hard to get anywhere, something that his Father did not know. The money was

enough to supply him with 3 daily meals and a warm bed to sleep in. And although being a miner won't give his family a good name, he plans to follow in his

Grandfather's steps and become a Honourable Knight.

What is your Character's ambitions?: To reclaim his family's honour and fame which his Father lost, and to follow his Grandfather's steps to become the honourable

warrior that he was.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): The sword. The tool which once brought his family to glory, and the tool his Grandfather died

holding.

Although he knows little about swordsmanship, Aiden is a quick learner and is passionate enough to become a skilled swordsman like his Grandfather.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Being raised by a Stupid drunkard hasn't given him many skills or a mentor to learn from, so he has little to no

skill in many things people are masters of, such as Politics, swordsmanship, farming, and hunting. However, he is a quick learner and he is able to adapt to many

situations and conditions. These two talents will help him excel in anything he is passionate of.

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format): I posted it on Imgur because it would take up too much space here. Link: http://i.imgur.com/1g5bd.png

Other Information about your Character: Aiden has deep blue eyes and wavy brown hair. He is not very muscle toned, but he is quick and agile on his his feet. He's 5'8

, making him shorter than many other humans, but he shouldn't be underestimated and looked down upon because his height, as he's very agile and dexterous. He has

light, smooth skin just like many other Northerners have.

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?

Aiden quickly realizes what is happening when he steps into the small outcropping, and he hides behind a thick Oak tree to easily assess the situation. He stares at

the helpless halfing and the two warriors for a second and decides that saving a helpless halfling from two armed bandits would help reinstate his family name as it

was before his father destroyed it. So Aiden reaches to his waist and as quietly as possible, he unsheathes his iron sword. His sword is shiny and sharp, it looks as

if it had never been used before.He brings the sword up to his chest, he clenches onto the short shaft with both of his hands. As an inexperienced swordsman he knows

little about using his new blade, but he's blinded by the thought of glory, and doesn't think for a second that the two bandits could kill him easily. He starts

breathing more rapidly, adreneline courses through his veins like water rushing through a river. He exhales one last time slowly, then in one fluid motion jumps out of

cover and as he runs at full speed toward the two bandits he screams his battly cry. The only sign of expression the halfling can make out is a slight grin. The 2

bandits are taken by surprise and frantically try to get into defensive stances to combat their enemy, but once realizing that their enemy is a foot shorter then both

of them and has no armor whatsoever, their fear quickly turns into calmness. Aiden, still filled with courage and determination, attempts to slash at one of the

banidits, however his attack is parried and the bandit moves in to make his attack. The bandit swings his massive broadsword like a club at Aiden. Although,

broadswords are large, heavy weapons and the bandit's slow attack speed left Aiden with enough time to jump back and avoid the attack, and the bandit's weapon gets

stuck in the ground. Aiden tries to strike him while he's recovering his weapon, but the other bandit blocks his attack with his equally massive broadsword. Aiden is

knocked back after blocked and trips on a tree root. Both of the bandits are now moving toward him to kill him and one of them says "Hahaha, you should'a stayed back

'n mind'd yer own business boy! Now look what ye done.." Aiden's courage turned into terror as he stared at the men who would soon end his life. But his terror

instantly turned into hope as he saw the halfling creeping up behind the bandits with a large, round rock in his hands. Right as one of the bandits was preparing to

deliver the final blow to Aiden, the halfling smashed the giant rock on the bandit's heaed, knocking him unconious. His companion, filled with shock quickly turned

around to attack the halfling, and diverted all of his attention away from Aiden. Aiden used this to his advantage and sprung to his feet with his sword in hand, and

raised his weapon above his head to slash at the bandit. He swung his sword down and he hit the bandit with such strenth that his sword almost ripped through the

bandit's torso. The Bandit's body fell to the ground and a pool of blood began to form around it. Aiden's face had a huge grin on his face as he looked down upon the

bandit's corpse. The Halfling noticed it and stared with appreaciation at Aiden Alenko. He uttered a quiet thank you, and offered Aiden some of Minas that the bandit's

were after. Although he was very hungry and could use some stew to fill him up, he refused the reward, and only asked that the Halfling tell others of how he was saved

by Aiden Alenko.

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?

Aiden's face fills with delight as the scent of the fresh Mushroom stew enters his nose. Although his delight quickly turns to sadness when he realizes that he could

never afford such a delicacy with his salary, and politetly responds to the merchat. "Although I could really use something to satisfy my hunger, I have only a couple

minas in my coin purse, not nearly enough to purchase even a loaf of bread." The man examines Aiden from his stall. He notices the dirt and grime on Aiden's face and

his Stained and wrinkled clothing. He realizes that the boy standing before him is very poor and hungry. The merchant lets out a long drawn sigh and stares at all the

teeming shoppers in Alras as he thinks. Aiden starts to walk away back in the crowds, but he feels the merchant's hand holding him back. He turns around and stares at

the stall owner with a look of puzzlement on his face. The merchant smiles, and says "You need something in your stomach badly, more than I need the 30 minas which the

stew is worth. Just give me whatever money you have on you, and I'll accept it." Aiden's face fills with joy, he can't believe he is being offered the stew for free.

He hastilly reaches into his coin purse and takes reveals 6 rusty coins. The merchant inspects the dirty coins and accepts them. In return he hands the bowl of stew to

the hungry boy, and utters his last words to him "Enjoy the stew." "Oh gods, I cannot thank you enough for this! I could never repay you the extra minas for this!

Thank you, thank you!" Aiden exclaims. " Do not worry boy, you do not need to repay me for anything, think of this meal as a gift." The man smiles one last time and

waves his hand to signal a goodbye. Aiden does the same gesture with his hand and starts to walk away. The man behind his stall then takes his eyes away from Aiden and

stares down at the coins in his hand and makes a failed attempt to rub the dirt off of the coins.

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?:

As Aiden cautiosly makes his way along the dirt road to the hut, he has a feeling of unease coming from his stomach. He walks close enough to the hut to be able to see

what's inside. He carefully observes everything and sees a wooden table inside the hut with a couple Iron ingots spread on it and a Beautifilly polished golden sword.

His eyes catch the sword instantly, and he stares at it with awe for a few seconds. The sword is long and fine. The shaft tightly wrapped in high-quality leather, and

on the hilt he sees a small emblem engraved. Although he cannot maek out what the emblem is, he instantly knows a blade like this is only carried by a king or a very

high ranked knight, because no warrior would carry around a sword made out of gold since gold is too soft to even make a scratch in Iron armour. No, this sword is

definetly just for show. But why would this blade by in a random shack in the forest? It was most likely stolen by a bandit then left here. Aiden walked inside the hut

and picked up the exquisite blade. He unsheathed his iron sword so he could carry the golden sword in his sheath. He was going to return the golden blade to its

rightful owner and he definetly doesn't want an angry knight demanding why his sword was scratched. Aiden leaves the iron ingots as they would only slow him down, and

makes his way out of the small hut.

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?

As Aiden makes his way to the nearest city with "Lion Heart", the name he branded the golden sword with, he notices a column of smoke rising from the trees not to far

from him, and he distinguishes a familiar smell. Mutton! His stomach rumbles just from the thought of a warm, juicy mutton. His mouth begins to water and he tries to

follow the scent of mutton to its source. He walked throught the forest until he made it to a little camp. He realizes that there may be bandits, and since his first

encounter with bandits he tries to be more cautious and tries hiding behind a bush. But his attempt at hiding failed as a few members of the camp had noticed him.

Aiden tries to stay behind his cover and holds his breath, thinking that the people in the camp will pay no attention to him, but a dark skinned man begins to make his

way over to where Aiden was hiding, and in a southeron accent says "He-hello there I am Andul. You can get up from your hiding spot, you are not fooling any of us.."

Aiden relucantly stands up and faces the man. He looks much different than him, everyone in the camp looks different actually. The man looks very well dressed, he's

wearing brown leather boots, very baggy pants and a sash around his waist. He wore nothing but a vest on his torso and had a colourful scarf tied around his forehead.

His skin was alot darker than Aiden's and any other human living around these parts. The man's face lightened when he realized Aiden wasn't going to attempt to harm

him and said "We live south of the Cloud Temple if you were wondering, and we came here to trade out wares with the people in these cities. We are just simple traders,

not warriors and definetly not bandits if you thought we were. Now that you've heard a little about us, why don't you come inside our camp and tell us about yourself,

and.. more specificlly why you came here." The dark skinned man smiled, and extended his hand toward aiden to shake it. Aiden accepted the handshake and followed the

man into his camp. They sat down by the fire with 3 other dark skinned men. Andul said "Let me introduce my peers to you, the man beside me is Sabur, the man with the

long beard is Rohan, and the last man is Kareesh." All three men made gestures with their hands as to say 'hello' to Aiden. Andul continued and said "So what is your

name?" Aiden said "My name is Aiden Alenko, I come from Oren. I was led into your camp by the smell of the mutton you're cooking and the smoke from your fire. I'm

really not here to harm any of you, I'm just very hungry and a long way from home." Andul smiled and offered him a haunch of meat, and Aiden gladly accepted.

The four men continued to talk amoungst each other for a while until Aiden said that he must continue walking to Oren, and bid them all good bye. Aiden began to make

his way out of the camp and Andul watched him leave until he was out of sight, then headed into his camp to rest.

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?:

Arthur spreads a map open on a table and four men lean in to look at it. Arthur points to a location of the map with his finger and says "This is where the bandits

were last seen. A woman and her son reported to have been mugged by the bandits at that location at around 5 pm on Tolta." One of the men raises a hand and says "We

could assemble a force and go there to fight the bandits today" Another man then responds by saying "No no no, we don't have enought people to strike them there could

be 30 bandits assembled over there just waiting for us to come and fight them!" The door to their room swings open and Aiden walks in. The mean all turn away from the

map and face him, then the leader of the group, Arthur, says "And who may you be?" Aiden says "My name is Aiden Alenko, I was told that I may find you here, and I came

to assist you on fighting the bandits" The room bursts into laughter, the men stare at Aiden with wide grins and Aiden stares at them with a look of hurt in his eyes,

and he says "I may look weak, but I'm not! I killed a group of bandits my self less then a week ago!" This makes the men laugh even harder, and one of them says "Ooh

are you sure they were bandits and not chickens? Hahahahaha!" After the man said that, Aiden turned extremely angry and clenched his fists until his knuckles turned

white. He was about to say something but Arthur cut him off and said "Enough! We need all the help we can get and you all know that! If we don't take down this bandit

group they will wreak havoc on our town! And the last thing we need are a group of bandits running through are streets, killing our men and children and raping our

women!" The whole room went silent after that and Arthur said "The time to strike them is now! we have a group large enough to fight them, and if this boy wasn't lying

about killing a group of bandits, we could really use his help." The group of men then proceeded to leave the room after their leader, and prepared for battle.

The group was walking along the road when they spotted one of the bandits. Arthur made a signal as to tell everyone to stop and be silent, and pointed over at the

bandit. A man silently drew his bow and loaded an arrow. He took aim at the bandit and pulled back the string. He shot the arrow and it flew through the air like a

charging bull and landed directly in the bandit's temple. The man who shot the arrow let out a slight chuckle but was silenced by Arthur. Once the bandit was shot, the

group took noticed and assembled on the road. They were all heavily armed with shields and thick iron swords. The leader was presumably the one that was wearing a full

suit of iron armor and had an iron mace in his left hand. The bandits started running to the party, there weren't many of them, only 4 but they were all more heavily

armed then the town guard. Aiden drew his sword from the holster by his waist, and attempted to block an attack from one of the bandits. He deflected the swing, but

was knocked back from the shear force of it. The bandit who attacked him towered over his head. Aiden could see the bandit's eyes through his visor and instantly knew

that who he was fighting was not a human. The orc's blood red eyes radiated with hatred, and he swung his massive sword at Aiden again. Aiden was fast enough to dodge the attack by jumping backwards, but he knew he couldn't just keep avoiding the Orc's attacks so he swung at the orc with his sword and dented his chest plate. Although the attack did not even harm the Orc, he was in awe that the puny boy even mamaged to land an attack on him. This enraged the orc, and he began to thrash wildly with his sword, swinging it in every direction trying to cut Aiden into pieces. Aiden easily dodged many of his attacks since they were uncontrolled and inaccurate, but he managed to trip on his own foot while backstepping and fell to the ground. The Orc raised his enormous weapon above his head and prepared to deliver the final blow. He slammed his sword with such speed, Aiden could barely escape it, and roll out of the way! Aiden's heart accelerated and each time his heart beat it felt like a hammer. He managed to lift himself up off the ground and before the Orc could recover and deliver another strike, Aiden slashed at the Orc's neck, decapitating him. The Orc's head slid off of his shoulders and fell before Aiden's feet. He looked down at the body and was amazed that at what he had just done. His blade had tasted the blood of an Orc warrior, and it was his greatest achievement. The rest of the town guard gathered back in the town square after the fight, and they all congradulated each other. Arthur then said "Well, we certainly underestameted you... and as promised, here's your reward for helping our effort" Arthur handed Aiden the bag filled with Minas and Aiden thanked all of them.
