Alcarnus

How old are you?:

I am 17 years of age.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:

EST/United States of America

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?:

I do so have a good grip of the English language, as well as good grammar.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

Well, let's see. I am a tall, lean, and muscular male of White and Hispanic ethnicity. Although I currently reside in the US of A, I was born and raised in Norwich, England. To add to that my mother is English, so I have an English accent. I play a variety of sports, and they include football, soccer, lacrosse, rugby, cricket, and a little bit of basketball.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?:

I could spend approximately five to six hours on the server daily, if not more. However, once school starts up, I am not so sure I can dedicate as much time then.

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

What do I know about Roleplaying? Well, I can tell you that it is a fun escape from the dull reality of life. Roleplaying is what we humans use to escape into the fantasy and surreal realm of what we wished life would be like. To me, Roleplaying is when a person changes his/her behaviour to fulfill the role of a fictional character that he/she came up with.

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

I have had a very long and intimate experience with Roleplaying. The first game I ever played was Fallout 1, and I simply loved the idea of living out the life of someone fantastical, someone so impossibly amazing. To add to that, I have played most of the Bethesda games, Diablo 2 and 3, Mass Effect 2 and 3, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and pretty much all the Lord of the Rings games. Also, I played World of Warcraft with a dedicated community of Orc-lovers for four months.

However, my Roleplaying experience is not limited to RPG games. I have had quite some experience with Minecraft roleplaying. I wrote lore on a few RP/PvP servers. Also, I regular Roleplay with fellow players.

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

Meta-Gaming is when a person uses out-of-game information to alter in-game outcome.

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

Power-Emoting, sometimes referred to as God-Emoting, is when Player A forces an action on Player B without their consent.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I am hoping for a grand Roleplaying experience with a large audience. I hope to play alongside a large and friendly community of mature individuals. Of course, I expect to find some nice architectural style and much bloodshed.

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

I have played on Nations at War, Block Empires, and LegendsMC. Nations at War is currently undergoing its testing and development phase for the next season, so I am here looking for other options. Block Empires was a nice server with grand ambitions. However, it lacked the community I was looking for. We were plagued with immature players who often ended up being hacking little... children. As for LegendsMC, well a friend of mine runs the server, and it is not exactly "lively" anymore. Inactivity and a horrible playerbase has killed the fun.

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

I have read, understood, and agreed to the rules.

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

I promise to abide by said rules and laws.

How did you hear about us?:

I friend of mine played on this server a while ago, and recommended I take a look at it sometime. Well, suffice it to say, I am liking what I see so far.

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

I have never made an application for Lord of the Craft. This is my first.

History

-------

Alcarnus, the name itself does not sound at all Orcish. His father was killed while battling Undead forces. His mother died giving birth to him. Out of all his siblings, Alcarnus is the youngest, and most "different". Well, his entire family was different, if you think about it. They were Orcs, and yet, they live in a settlement with Humans. In one of his many military campaigns, Uracnuz, Alcarnus' father, saw Humans in a new light. A certain squad of Humans, some of them were even females, had single-handedly wiped out half his forces. They were eventually defeated, but for their bravery and prowess on the battlefield, Uracnuz granted them the privilege and honor of living.

Now, these Humans live and breed alongside Orcs in this settlement. The clan his father created was well hidden and secluded. Hidden away within the shadows of the massive mountains. Alcarnus grew up alongside his six brothers and two sisters. They were all trained and taught the ways of the Orcs. Even the Human children were trained as Orcs. His family was always the brightest of Orcs, but Alcarnus, he was something different. He always seemed to know the answers to things. He was often the brightest in his classes, even the ones the Humans took he excelled in. His mind was a gift from his father, whose intelligence went very well with his strength and courage in battle.

As a child, Alcarnus struggled to live up to his father's name. He felt that it was his rightful place as leader of the clan. His ideas and philosophy soon caught the eye of the council. They smiled upon him, for he was a true son of Uracnuz. He showed so much potential and promise, that one of the most respected elders in the clan taught him the arts of war. He trained and studied for years.

All was not as well as it seemed, though. For Alcarnus' brothers were not very fond of him. The firstborn was the true heir to the reigns of leadership. It was his destiny to reclaim his father's title and lead the horde to victory! Alcarnus' brothers soon confronted him. They asked him to step down, and take his place as an inferior. Alcarnus was stubborn, and refused. He went against every Orcish tradition, and went against his eldest brother. This is where it all fell upon.

In the midst of the night, while he was sleeping, Alcarnus' brothers dragged him out of his blissful slumber. They took him into the forest, and beat him senseless. He had no chance to fight. Alcarnus saw this, and began to run. He ran as far as he could. He collapsed in a desert after two days of running, with an arrow in his leg, and a dagger in his upper left back. His own family betrayed him. His own family left him for dead. Alcarnus is now an outcast, shunned by his very own blood.

What are your Character's ambitions?:

Alcarnus aims to become the master of his body and mind. Unlike his fellow brethren, he values intelligence just as much as strength. He wishes to one day aid his people in conquering the lesser races of this realm. The Orc is pure of blood, and all others must be exterminated or subjugated.

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

A sword, preferably a greatsword. It is powerful, fast, and graceful. It combat, speed is just as deadly as strength, if not more so.

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

Alcarnus excels on the battlefield. He was born for the kill. Nothing arouses him more than the smell of fresh blood on his sword. He loves nothing more than the sight of seeing his enemies crushed under his boot, or to see them flee in fear. Alcarnus may seem like a mindless murderer, but there is a very creative and patient mind behind those murderous eyes. He is gifted with a strong and speedy mind, and often sees attackers before they are even present. His strategies and tactics will save lives before they know they are even in any sort of danger. Alcarnus has a very strong military mind. Put a sword in his hands, a squad of the finest warriors available, and he will ensure victory for the horde.

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?

Although this does not concern him, and it is a mere halfling, there is no honour in harassing such a creature to no gain. Alcarnus unsheathes his blade and charges at the attackers. After he has killed them, he decapacitates them, and tells the halfling to get out of his sight. If the halfling stays and barrages the Orc with gratefulness, Alcarnus will then kill it without warning. For it is a shame and dishonour to be unable to fight one's own battles.

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?

"Throm'Ka, pinkskin! I want lat sharpest zults, agh finest gears of war you have."

Alcarnus would ask for the sharpest and pointiest thing on the table. If they do not have any in stock, he would get the biggest and juiciest hunk of beef. He would rarely buy from merchants in the first place, however. He sees them as weak, arrogant, and greedy little creatures with no sense of pride.

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?:

There is no honour in stealing what others earned. It is much more satisfactory and honourable to work for your own tools and treasures. He leaves the items alone.

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?

"Throm'Ka, bruddahs! Mi want bubhosh buub now."

He would dine alongside his comrades for a little while, then ask for directions to the nearest Orc stronghold.

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?:

Alcarnus would pick up the nearest weapon and assemble alongside the guards, ready to defend the town with his life. Why? Well, you get to smash some dishonourable coward's skull, and you get paid doing it. What better thing in life is there?

Anything else you would like to say?:

Alcarnus invented cologne for Orcs, after he found out why Humans did not want to be too close to him. He smashed rose petals and coconuts together. The end result rather satisfactory. He held a conversation with the puny Human female for an entire night without her being repulsed by his smell!

Denied.

The only reason I am denying this, is the lack of lore in the biography. I also wish for you to expand on your Open Response Questions.

Please implement lore, and re-apply in 24 hours.
