What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: I know it’s making yourself someone you are not, but embracing the idea and embellish on it. RP is taking on a persona outside of yours in the real world. To me it means being someone that can only occur in video games. Reaching new worlds and experiencing what a world in that era/realm would feel like and how I believe I would be in this world.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is: Breaking the rules of the game and doing things that will never occur in the real world.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect a community that will aid in adventures and clearing mines instead of focusing on simple building. Farming and trade will become essential as opposed to convenient actions. Communities will form and stay. They will not show up and then shut down days later.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: color] The basic server after purchase. The communities are dying left and right. Many people are being banned for immature reasons. I have been accused of things I know not how to do. People also stay together with their friends and don’t socialize with others.

His father was chosen to work in the castle directly for the king. After moving into the castle at the age of 10, Onegarion grew restless and yearned for the adventure. He would revel at the many minstrels and wanderers that come in to the forge. While they waited for their gear to be repaired or replaced he asked them question of the world beyond the castle walls.

When he grew up he started to sneak out at night to traverse the land and see what he missed. A pampered 16 year old would wander around and fond mines, monsters, and travelers. One such traveler told of the many lands he had been to. He made the decision to leave his home and venture into the wild.

When he was 18 he left his home and took nothing but a sword and a pickaxe. He escaped in the middle of the night and never looked back. He walked days with little to eat other than what he found and the gratuity of passersby. He finally made a connection with another traveler and the two teamed up and continued their venture.

Not long after meeting they were split by the death of Onegarion’s friend. He decided to make a claim and dug in. he vowed to follow the dream of his friend. He began to dig down into the cold earth, this lead too many riches and dangers. After 2 years he had made a home that kept him alive and proud. He picked up his father’s trade and made armor and weapons for those who passed by.

Then he decided to turn his life to a more stagnant one. He built a small fort and obtained all he needed to allow him and 2 others to survive alone. His fort stood for a whole year before he grew bored of the simple life. Now he yearns to discover new lands and once again start from scratch. He wants to start from the ground up and adventure alongside of those who share his desire for glory and companionship.

Reasons:

• Your powergaming definition is only partially correct. Please expand it in future applications.
  
• You must include lore from Lord of the Craft in your biography. This includes where you originated from; you cannot originate from another land.
  
• Your biography should include your character's age, appearance and personality.
  
• I really hope your character didn't build a fort by himself. That would be considered powergaming.

Overall, your application was fairly good. Just fix up the things above and you should have no trouble getting accepted next time! And just another note, be careful when you "take from the chest" in your third Open Response Question. Make sure you review the rules and villain rules to make sure you're allowed to take from it if such a situation came up in-game.

If you have any queries relating to this application, please do not hesitate to PM me on the forums!

You may reapply in 24 hours
