My Fifth Application

[Pum! 106]

Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name: BadPumkin987

How old are you?: 12 years old.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: Not sure of time zone, but I live in California.

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes, I do have a good grip on both of those things.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: Hm.. Well, i'm funny, nice, and caring. i am addicted to MineCraft, but some of my other hobbies include reading, cooking, and frisbee.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Weekly? Well, it depends on my week. If my week is normal for me, I could be on about.. 5-10 hours.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: I believe RolePlaying is acting. Doing the things you never could do. I think RolePlaying is having fun while interacting with other people while acting at the same time. RolePlaying will be a huge experience for me, I think.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: This is actually the first MineCraft server and game I have found that actually RolePlays! So it will be my first time RolePlaying in a game. In real life, I act for real. I do Improv and other acting styles, as well.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-Gaming is when your RP character uses information that he/she should not have. Example: My character is talking with a friend. Another friend my character knows is in trouble, and E-mails me saying that she needs help. That is Meta-Gaming because if my character went and saved her, my character would be using unknown knowledge to do something.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is: Power-Emoting is the act of forcing someone's actions upon another player typically without the other player's consent and not giving the player you are forcing the actions upon a chance to react. Example: Lets say we have a character named JBJ. JBJ has to go assassin a single player named Hal. JBJ sneaks up behind Hal and stabs him, killing him instantly. The better thing to do would be: JBJ sneaks up behind Hal, and TRIES to stab him. That would give Hal a chance to defend himself or run away.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect a great time on this server. I have checked Planet Minecraft and all those big Minecraft sites and I see absolutely NO negative things about this server.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: Well, I didn't leave them, but I will spend my time on this server because it seems more fun. The server I also play on is MineRP.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes. I promise to follow them.

Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules: I absolutely promise. I probably won't use TS, though. I still promise to the TS rules anyways.

How did you hear about us?: LOTS of different sites and a few friends.

Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?: *Sigh* Okay: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/61386-my-fourth-application/

In-Character:

Character Name: Kristen

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

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): None

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.): Once, a few years ago, a baby was born. The camp the baby was born in is the Traveling Merchants Camp. On the day of the baby's birth, her father died protecting the mother from a skeleton just a wee few minutes before the baby was born. The skeleton was a horrible site. Ugly, decayed bones yellow with rot, smell of death, and bow in hand that skeleton shot the baby's dad down. By the time the skeleton had shot the father, the town had noticed the commotion, and came over to investigate. They came just in time to save the mother, Janie, from the fingers of death.

They rushed Janie to a small tent, where the baby, named Kristen after her father's ma, was born. Right after her birth, everyone noticed something odd about her. Her eyes were blue, while her mother and father's eyes were green. Janie found out, after a little research, that her eyes were like that because Janie's grandpa had blue eyes. Other relatives that weren't as close to the family had blue eyes, too. That side of the family was very far away from Janie and Kristen. They never interacted with each other because of a family argument that was never settled. The argument was about where to live. Janie's family side thought it was silly to stay in one place. That's why they lived in the Traveling Merchants Camp. The other side of the family stayed in one place all the time. Never moving. This argument was never continued, as they never spoke with each other again.

(A year later)

Kristen had grown since her birth. She was unusually smart for her age. She could walk already, and had already said her first sentence a few weeks ago. She was just now figuring out how to run, and was prancing around the room like a butterfly. Her eyes were wide with delight while she did this. Her ma then took her outside to play in the trees. Kristen had a special bond with the trees. They talked with her. She saw the life in them. The reason behind this is unknown to this day still. While Kristen played in the trees, they told her stories. Stories of the life forms that played with their vines and branches. Kristen could climb the trees very well, even at that young age.

(Three years later)

"Ma, I want a puppy!" Kristen, age 4, was saying. It was The Amber Cold, her birthday, and Janie had promised her anything she wanted. "Well, if you can find one, go ahead," jamie said happily. She loved watching her daughter play around. Kristen started to go looking for one, when Janie called out to her. "Kristen! Take this bone with you!" Kristen came back and accepted the bone. It would come in handy, she knew. Kristen then pranced into the forest She came back a few hours later on top of a wolf. "Kristen! Be careful!" Janie rushed over to her daughter. "Why? She is so friendly! I named her Amber!" Kristen said excitedly. She loved animals, and she now had her own. Amber spun around at the sound of her name. Amber was a young pup, and was very nice. "We had better get back to the camp before it gets dark!" Janie worried. She didn't let Kristen out at night, for fear of the monsters out there. "Yes, ma" They walked back to the camp together.

(5 years later)

Amber got up and stretched. She then walked over to Kristen, age 9, and licked her awake. "Amber! Stop it!" Kristen demanded angrily. They were sleeping in a abandoned hut they had found. Only the day before, Kristen had gotten so mad at her ma, Janie, that she had left the camp she and her ma had made and stayed the night at the Cloud Temple. She had come back the next day to find the tiny camp in flames. She had tried to put them out, but couldn't reach the nearby stream quickly enough. They had left the Camp of Traveling Merchants because they were tired of the work they had to do to stay there. They had made their own little camp, and now it was in ashes. Kristen found out that her ma was in the fire, too. Kristen was in great mourning, and was very solum. She spent most of the day hugging the trees, asking them what to do. They told her to make a bow from their branches, and arrows too. She did as they told her, and soon she was trying to hit the center of the target she had made. They then told her to go hunt some cows She brought Amber with her to help. Amber had ran away with Kristen, and Kristen was glad that she had because she would have been dead now if she hadn't. The trees then told her to get some rest. Kristen slept in the tree branches, fitfully turning while she dreamt.

(4 years later)

"Kristen.. Kristen.." a voice whispered to her. "Come out.. come out wherever you are.." The voice had a dreamy tone to it, and Kristen opened her eyes. She had been sleeping in a tree that was nice enough to give her instructions to the Elf town she had heard of, Normandor. She thinks the tree is messing with her. Amber walkes by her side as she got up and went on her way. "Good old Amber. Are you hungry?" Kristen wondered. Amber just sat down and stared at her. "I guess not.." Kristen decided as she kept walking. She took out her bow and arrows, and shot at a passing cow. The cow fell, dead. Kristen picked it up easily. She was used to carrying heavy things now, with years of work. Kristen was a very good aim, and was pretty strong, too. "Now what did that tree say? Keep on going until you see a large river, and then turn left?" Kristen did as she remembered the tree told her, and then stopped in her footprints. She gasped in surprise. The river emptied out into the ocean, and next to the ocean she could see a town with a giant tree in the center. "Amber! Amber! I think we're here!!" Kristen yelled joyfully. She then followed the shore until she reached the tree. The went over, and touched its roots. It told her wonderful stories. Apparently, Elfs lived inside of inside of it. Oh, I think I will like it here!" Kristen said as she marveled at the tree. She then got up, and went to go look for someone to help her get a home here.

What are your Character's ambitions?: To help all those whom need it. She also is a big tree hugger and a tree sitter. She tries to not let people cut down trees. She hopes that everyone who meets her likes her, and she tries to be as nice as possible.

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

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Shooting and aiming, gardening, and being friendly.

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 ): Look in the attachments. I'm sorry that I couldn't put it on right, I'm using a iMac, and F2 only works for brightness. I hope this works, as well.

Other Information about your Character: Kristen has long, dark born hair that is straight, she has blue eyes, and she is a quick runner and shot for her age. She is a perky 14 year old that isn't afraid to explore the unknown.

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? Kristen walks up to the warriors and asks them politely, trying not to provoke them, "What are you doing to this poor Halfling? I don't mean to be harsh, but put him down. NOW." Kristen says the last part in a icy cold tone. "And what'll you do if we don't?" one of the warriors mocked her. "This-" Kristen said as she took out some paper, a quill, and a bottle of ink. She whistled for her messenger dove she had found in the woods. She had given it a hearty meal, and it was now loyal to her. She scribbled down a message, and gave it to the dove. She whispered the name it was to be sent to, and the dove took off. "Who was that message sent to?" the other warrior said, sounding a little worried. "Oh, just the guy who's in charge of you. I told him that there were two warriors in front of the Cloud Temple beating up a Halfling." The warriors take off, running as fast as they can. "Th-th-thank you, miss." The Halfling says in a shaky voice. "Don't worry about it. We'll tell the nice general about this problem, and we'll be fine" Kristen says soothingly. They then wait for the general.

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? "Why, hello there. Do you by chance have any saplings I could buy?" Kristen asks. The man says "Of course, dearie. Only the finest of them all. That will be 100 minds." Kristen gapes at him. "Er.. no thank you. I have to be somewhere, I'm late!" Kristen lies meekly and runs away. She isn't the richest, and she spent all her money on a house in Normandor.

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?: Kristen looks at the hut, not paying much attention to the chest. She decides that the hut is TOO dirty, and cleans it up. Hoping the one who owns the hut might come back someday before anyone can take the sword, she sets off with Amber into the woods to plant more trees. She then remembers that she left her bag there, and goes back to fetch it. She sees the hut again, and puts a couple of flowers inside, to make it smell nice. "I hope this place looks nice to the owner if they come back!" She says cheerily

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? She greets them, and asks if she can stay the night. She offers to cook, too. But they refuse, insisting that they work. Kristen then sits around the campfire and eats her meal while telling the stories of the trees she has met. She then wakes in the early morning, and wishes them good luck, and sets out. She then goes ahead and puts a couple of minds on each of their tents, sparing what she could with her so little money.

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?: She goes out there with the archers, and helps them defend the town. She shoots 6 bandits! All the archers congratulate her and then they continue their work. "Sorry, guys! I have to go to a very important meeting for my go-green club! I'll be back!" Kristen yells, and then runs off to where Amber is waiting patiently for her.

Anything else you would like to say?: I hope you enjoyed this. I put a lot of work into it, trying to make it as realistic as possible.
