In-Character:

Character Name:Brandon_Steel

What Race are you? (You may only be Human, Orc, Elf or Dwarf!) :Human

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

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.):Brandon was born in Solace in a wood hut on the outskirts of the city. His father was a merely a average woodcutter, so Brandon naturally followed in his fathers footsteps to also become a woodcutter. He had great education as a child as his mother pushed him to be educated, which led to him taking a interest in math. When he wasn't helping his father with the woodcutting(Which was rare, mind you) he would tinker with various items around the house, making them into small contraptions to open doors by themselves. He also would help his cousin design irragation systems for their farm. He also obtained small scars around his eyes due to accidentally cathing his eyebrows on fire while testing a experiment. Since then, he has invented his own fireproof goggles that are commonlly seen around his head.

At the age of twenty-two, Brandon decided that lumberjacking was becoming a old profession that he was growing tired of, and that he couldn't spend his life doing something he didn't want to. He explained to his parents that he was leaving the hut to explore the city and to help others with his inventions. They agreed and said their goodbyes. Brandon packed up most of his items with him within the next three days, and set off for the city, hoping that someone could find some use of the inventions he is sure to make.

What are your Character's ambitions?:To hopefully create something great and useful for the world someday that everyone will use.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):Flint and Steel, he's a bit of a pyromaniac.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?He's mostlly skilled at woodcutting, as he has done that his entire life. He's also good at simple mechanics however due to it being his hobby.

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format, if you do not know how to acquire one, copy and paste this link into your browser: ( http://tinyurl.com/Lotcscreenshot ):

Other Information about your Character:He has blonde hair, and blue eyes. Commonly seen with his goggles around his forehead. He also ussually wears wool boots and wool gloves. He is almost always very kind, but cannot stand being around cocky people and will ussually walk the other way around them.

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? He turns the other way, to hopefully find the town watch and report it. He would wouldn't engage them unless his own life was in definite danger.

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? He would respond with-... "'Ay, I'll look at your wares, what have you got?" He would ussually buy something he think could help make his inventions.

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?:He would more than likely take the both the sword and the bars. The bars because he could possiblly use them for something he might later make. As for the sword, he would take it due to possiblly being able to sell it to the right person for a good ammount of minas. Both of these items would be to tempting for him not to take.

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? I would quickly ask if they had any food, due to being very hungry. I would also feel a great sense of relief due to finding somewhere that was safe(to an extent) and somewhere to find food.

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?:He wouldn't directly attack them unless his own life was in danger, he would however ask if he could help in any other possible way.

Anything else you would like to say?:Nope, thanks for reviewing the application though.

Reasons:

• Firstly, are you eighteen or nineteen? You said both...
  
• I would like to see your role-playing definition expanded.
  
• You need to include more server lore in your biography. Show us that you are at least a little familiar with the places and major events of the world. You can research the lore on our wiki here. Solace was actually ruined and abandoned for a long period of time, although I believe it is under reconstruction now.
  
• Why is your character almost always kind? Why can't he stand cocky people? Your biography is a good place to explain these things.
  
• Your Open Response Questions need to be expanded. A short paragraph at least would be nice. Some ways to expand on them would be to explain in more detail what your character does, and also explain why they do it, and "what's going through their head" at the moment. You should also include both detailed actions and dialogue in your answers.
  
• Villainous activity in your Open Response Questions. Specifically, in your third response you stole the items for personal gain. That is classified as villainous, and require a villain application to steal. Make sure you read over the villain rules (here) so that you are aware of what you can and cannot do without applying for a villain application.
  
• Incorrect formatting
  

Please use the correct formatting in your next application as it makes the application significantly easier to read. You can do that by finding the application format here, and copying everything inside the white box. Then paste it somewhere, and begin filling in your answers outside the tags, like so:

[b][color="#add8e6"]Minecraft Account Name:[/color][/b] <Your answer here>

Do not change the application format in any way.
