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

To get home, kick back and hop into the shoes of my character and leave the toils of the real world behind. To relax and get with other friends and play together as our characters and let the real world problems on hold.

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

I played many Rpg’s online and on some other Role-Play servers. Played on the mc server thekingdomsmc.com for about three months until it was closed, after that I went to other rp servers but none would match up. Games include elderscroll series, Mass effect series and Baldurs gate series.

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

Using info that YOU (the player) have, but not the character, in game. This info can be acquired in various way, for example: Teamspeak, pm tools and email.

An example of Meta-Gaming: Someone tells you the coordinates of something in Teamspeak, but your character couldn’t have known this info.

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

Playing or roleplaying in such a way that you always win. If this can’t be done RP-wise, then by the use of Meta-gaming.

Examples: - Forcing people to participate in a Rp event.

- While doing a Rp fight, doing such moves that just can’t be avoided (when not using /roll ).

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I hope purely roleplay and not too much pvp, known servers that were supposed to be RP and ended up being purely PvP.

I’d like to expand on my character development and enjoy the game without to much player verse player involved.

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

TheKingdomsMC mostly, i didnt leave but they just dissapeared, they say they will come back but its already 6 months ago.

Need I mention the other servers that didn’t line up to their claim of being rp or medieval themed? I went to two other servers and was a let down. 1x1s, pixel art and no rp.

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

Yes,yep and I will.

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

Yes I promise.

I heard about the server a while ago but at the time I was already heavily involved in another RP server. Recently it was closed and was looking to join friends already here. xlockeed is one of the people that is bringing me over.

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

Looking through my content I can’t find a link to my application. However at the time I was in a rush and being denied I kind of lost hope. Only recently my friends all got together and whipped me into making another this time forcing me to slow down and take my time.

Personality: After the loss of his parents he became really quiet, he doesn’t talk much anymore, only if he needs to. He got over his when he found a new home in Irongate, now he’s more self-confident and dares speaking up a little sometimes. He’s friendly to anyone but known enemy’s.

Biography: Long ago, I lived in Sotonia, a world far from here. As a child I was raised in a farmers family, spent my days working the fields and taking care of the animals. As I grew older I heard words of bandit activity growing in the area, so like any youth I became more interested in adventure and the chance to leave the boring chores of this daily farm work. Around the age of 16, i ran away from home, because I wanted to join up with these bandits and have my own story's of adventure. I joined a bandit gang, but after about a year the ringleader was rounded up and hung for his crimes in the Capitol.

Fearing that they would kill me too, I went back to my farm, only to find it burned down. In the town people tell me that during a storm, lighting hit the farm and it burned. down a few weeks ago.Nobody saw my parents move out of the farm, so everyone assumed they were dead. I went back to the farm and after going through the rubble I come across a skull in the barn and another in the house cellar. After burying the only remains of my parents near the now slowly overgrown apple fields .I went back to the destroyed barn and dug up the family chest. This contained all the savings my family had. I took it and left, not having any place to go to.

I went into the woods and became a hunter. I traveled to many places, even an elven city, where I bought my now trusted bow. But none of the places I had ever been to felt like home to me. So I stayed in the wilderness, traveling.

As years went by I found that the solitude of being in the wilds comforted me and all the things I had and lost in the past went away like the days end sun. I've become quite the master game hunter, the wilds feed me well and the monsters fear me even so. One early morning as I was chasing down a wild boar "i didn't land a killing shot with my arrow mind you" I came onto a clearing and a cobble road. As the fog slowly pulled away i could barely make out what looked like two monsters 10 ft high! reading my bow I prepared for what I thought was almost certain death. The fog pulled away revealing two Gothic griffin statues and in the distance lit up like a crescent moon the silhouette of a city...

I regathered my nerve and forgetting the boar I made my way down the road closer to the city in the distance. The crickets stopped signing and the birds seemed to go silent it almost felt like the closer I got to this city the wild was being pushed away. The morning sunlight started to rise higher and the fog began to float lower to the ground and in the distance stood what looked like the old capitol but with massive stone walls and lookout towers that broke the clouds. I wasn't thinking and my feet kept taking me closer and closer , all fear and caution were tossed aside as I made my way to the massive gatehouse there on the wall there were three man talking I could barely hear them all I could do was gaze at the structures that peeked out from behind the walls and touched the sky. "Halt ! you there! Bandit or friend!? Speak quickly or fall!" Shaken from my daze i stumbled my words as best as I could. "Stop stop, slow down sir you speak either in tongues or gibberish " laughed what appeared to be a high elf in chain armor. I gathered myself slowly seeing my life wasn't in danger anymore and spoke I was a hunter and stumbled upon this place... I asked what is this place called? "tis Irongate home to the Hammerites young one" answered the guard. Still dazed from the large structures all around me the guard could see i was awe struck and wasn't all there. " would you like to come in and see what the Master builder is capable of?"

The massive gates slowly opened up and I walked through on the other side stood the high elf. He introduced himself as R'stylez and told me he himself is a master hunter and he to enjoys the wilds as I do. We then took a walk through the massive city . Directly in front of you when you first enter this city was a large pantheon building and chanting could be heard echoing through the giant pillars. What I saw next I couldn't understand! "yes that's the Master Builders hammer from the heavens" explained Stylez. The thing was four men large the handle pure of gold the head made of some black marble stone, AND it was floating by some unknown magic!

we then took a walk further into the city to see a barracks, church, courthouse a residential district with Houses lining the streets. The town was so alive children ran chasing each other while playing with wooden hammers. Women chattered on about daily activities. "this way to the other half of the city" spoke Stylez. It was only half the city.. on the other side of town there was a bank a shipyard, docks this place had its own enclosed harbor. A fishing docks with ships, library the pinnacle of the city was its grand hall. The thing was almost touching the clouds and the banners that draped down from the ceilings. "you may also like to know we have a hunters lodge, that is if your interested" Stylez then showed me to the wood elf district where a hunters lodge stood. From that point on I knew I found a place to finally call home. The people all were clothed with red and white, no one was sad or ill. The people didn't look down on me and my dirty hunting garb but greeted and would shake my hand asking how I thought of their city.

Years now have passed, I was given a trial by fire by high priest Lock’eed long ago and passed easily. Time would slowly go on and all would seem well, that is until bandits and rogue towns started preying on everyone in the lands.

People slowly packed their things and left the lands. I sat in the hunters lodge going over the daily hunt logs and noticed I was the only one left. I went to the Grand hall to seek Lock'eed out and ask for permission to venture out on the seas to find more people to come and help with the bandits. Lock gave me permission to take the frigate in our harbor and to journey the open seas. The seas are beautiful and forever it seems, the captain and crew grow weary for we've been at sea for what seems like years. Supplies are starting to dwindle and there is talks that were getting to close to a nether void storm.

It haunts me the thunderclaps, every time there is a rain storm I still am unnerved. While still at sea I got to see a nether storm, I'd only read about this in the great library in Irongate. Men were ripped up from the decks as what appeared to be arms would come out of the clouds and ****** them up into the darkness. I held tight to the mast as the screams grew quieter. Red bolts of lightning ran across the dark sky and the waves would crash up onto the deck splashing its salt hand in my face. I felt my grip getting loosened as I was pulled away from the ship. Below my feet as I was being pulled up into the air I could see the ship being torn into pieces and flying debris circling all around. Time and space seemed to bend and twist as I flew round and round in the nether vortex.

I awaken

I'm on a beach

Somethings not right...monsters run wild in broad daylight. The enchantments on my armor are all stripped. I have what appears to be a purple glass shard, though not sure what this thing is for it hums quietly and soothing...

I have no idea where I am.

What are your Character's ambitions?:

My ambitions are as followed to remain loyal to the order of Hammerites and seek out darkness where ever it rears its ugly face. As of right now however I have to find any survivors from the nether storm and regroup. We then must move on with the mission to bring men at arms back to Sotonia and assist in the bandit uprisings.

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

My trusted elven Bow, though the enchantments have been stripped it still holds great power for me.

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

Hunting and gathering of pelts, meat, … . And I’m not that shabby of a cook.

Other Information about your Character:

As a master hunter I’m constantly training myself to be the best. As a result I love to compete with other archers in town competitons. Trick shots are my forte, bullseyes, arrow down the center, apple on the head shot you name it I can best it. I’m also very versed in building such has been my teachings in Irongate with the Hammerite order.

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? Taking a side step into the cover of the forest I’d draw my bow and disarm the two thugs. Throwing my voice I’d pretend to be more then one person in the cover. Startling the two men I’d threathen to let the next two shots land inbetween there eyes. Once the two men run for their lives I’d come out of the cover and approach the halfling telling him he shouldnt have to worry about them anymore.

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? Sensing the merchant is being uppity with me I’d respond by asking for an item I know he wouldnt have or know about. After displaying the unknown item to the merchant and proving I’m no loof I’d then ask for a bundle of arrows and be on my way. In my travels I’ve had the plessure of dealing with all manner of merchants, its the posh ones that rub me the wrong 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?: The Master builder forbids all manner of theft and in any case the wilds can provide a bounty compared to any ill begotten chest. In any case I’d use the stove to cook and replace any wood or coal I used. A sword “chuckle” what does a master marksmen such as myself would do with that?

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? Well now....hmmm I’m a master hunter...and um. Ok lets see here, I’m going to reword this one. Injured and dazed I’ve lost most of my equipment in a bad encounter with a creeper. I stumble into a village there I’d ask for medical attention and help in getting back on my feet. As payment I’d offer to assit or teach their town huntsmen tricks of the trade.

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?: I’d approach the guard and ask for the commander. I’d offer my bow and also assist in the attack. Going over maps and details about the bandits I’d guide the town guard in the best manner as to avoid any friendly deaths. We’d make our way to the bandits and dispatch the group quickly and without any casualties.

Anything else you would like to say?:

I’ve heard alot from friends in Asulon that the lands and people are great and that i’m missing out on alot of good times. I hope to be joining them shortly so that I too can partake and contribute to the great community.

I remember you from KingdomsMC :)

Your definitions are all spot on.

Your biography was very interseting. A great job with it.[ <3 Hammerites ]

Your ORQs are short, but straight to the point. They show your understanding of how to us RP.

Please wait for a GM to implement you. This could take some time.

I suggest you take a look at some of the in-game guides here.
