Minecraft Account Name:kevinvh12

How old are you?:13

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:The Netherlands, CET if I am correct. (1 hour ahead of GMT ;D)

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: For the most part, yes. Sometimes I still have a bit of trouble, But I promise you, will not start using l33t speak.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am Kevin, a Dutch kid :) I love role-playing, but I am kind of a noob at it. I have a huge fantasy, and I think it might come i handy with role-playing. I am just looking for a good time. :)

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Seeing as it is summer vacation like 3-4 hours a-day, in normal week-days probably -1 hour per day.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Role-playing is playing that you are a character, that you are in reality not. However you act like you are in reality, and everything around is reality. Basically acting, but more fun :)

(And not using smileys in chat ;D)

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: Messing around role-playing on mc server with my friend. As before, I am kind of a noob when it comes to role-playing.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: (EDITED) This is the use of nameplates, and bio's. Basically not role-playing.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is: (To be honest, I did not know what this was before a Urban Dictionary search)Power-Emoting is saying what you are doing, so other people cannot prevent or respond to it, like ''Deane killed random not existing person'' It would be better to say ''Deane is readying his knife''

What do you expect this server will be like?: A great experience, and I hope to make some friends!

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I am not a big server player, I mostly play on my own private server with some friends.

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.):Deane was born without his father, his mother never spoke about his father only that his name was Deane, just like Deane himself. Because Deane's mother never spoke about Deane Senior, he did not know a lot about him.

After Deane was 14 he spoke to an innkeeper, for some kind of reason, Deane started takling about his father. ''Oh, that poor fool, I told him it was a terrible idea to start a barbershop in the middle of the Orc capital, but he just wouldn't listen.'' Apparently Deane Senior was a strange man. Deane inherited a lot of traits from his father, Deane is very naïve. He trusts people very quick, too quick.

When he was 16 he was in a lot of trouble, joining a gang without even knowing it, he almost had to rob a poor old woman. At the age of 28, Deane moved out of his mothers house, people finally stopped laughing at him for still living with his mother.

Now, Deane is 30 years old, searching bravery, overcoming all of his fears, including shady looking barbershops. Deane has one positive thing about him: His look totally does not fit his traits, he is quite the handsome man.

What are your Character's ambitions?: To find the bravery in him, overcome his fears, live a simple live, after all of that is over, have children a wife. He has a memo under his pillow ''MEMO: Make sure to use these words as your last word before death: Tell Jane (His girlfriend at the age if 15)that I cheated with that Elf......JUST KIDDING! Hohoho.....''

Deane had a terrible sense of humour.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): The hoe, his mother gave him a little pumpkin plant when he was only 7 years old.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Running, Deane was an excellent runner, he loves running, he could run from one city to another. Sadly, he sweats like a pig that has been running for centuries.

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 ):Down below, sorry if I did it wrong.

Other Information about your Character:Well, he proably will not travel a lot, just living in a town. :)

Open-Response-Questions

Each and every question must be answered with a minimum of a single full paragraph and entirely in RP.

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? Deane stops, gives a shreek. His friend, who's much more braver, pushes him to fight with him to save the halfling. Sadly, Deane and his friend end up full of bruises, feeling guilty they return home, telling the police/guards about it.

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?''Hehe, he said 'ello. Erhm I mean I would like to buy your finest peas, sir.'' ''I do not have peas, I do however have this cow, only 200 minas.'' ''But I can also just catch my own cow, am I correct?'' ''Yes, you could catch your own normal cow, but this cow is special! Unique!'' ''Uhm.. what is so special about this cow, may I ask?'' ''This cow gives off liquid gold! Free gold, only after you tickly her nose!'' ''Hmm... that sounds like a mighty fine deal there! I'll take 2!'' ''Okay, but before you buy it, it will only work if you are in a 100 KM distance from this exact place!'' ''Okay! *Hands over the 400 minas*''

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?:''Oh goly! I could sell this for some minas. As long as I don't use it.'' Later he gets stopped by robbers, accidentaly Deane cut a robbers finger off, the robbers run away. ''Holy cow, that was crazy!''

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?

''Finally! Civilization! I have been in this forest for weeks!'' ''Ouch, you look like you are starving'' the merchant from the trading camp said. ''Can I offer you something?'' ''I would love some ale, thank you!'' The merchant gives Deane some ale. ''Ow... this is good, can I have the recepy?'' ''It is actualy just normal ale with one little secret ingredient!'' ''I am intrigued! Can I have this secret ingredient?'' ''No, I just met you'' ''The name's Deane!'' After that a girl comes to the merchant, and said: ''Pa, why do I have to travel with you?! It blows!'' ''Stay quit daughter I am speaking with this man!'' The daughter sings and walks away. ''That's my daughter, she can never stay quit, sings all day!'' ''Than you're lucky to have fond me! I have been wandering around Asulon for ages, finding the best talent ever born! And your daughter has quite a fine voice!'' ''Oh! She always wanted to become famous!'' ''I could get her on the boat to the theater of Vale tomorrow!'' ''That would mean so much to me! And.. my daughter ofcourse!, have the secret ingredient! It's [CENSORED FOR PUBLIC]!'' ''Thank you so much!'' After that Deane sleeps in the camp, and leaves very early in the morning. ''Wow, lying is easier then I thought!''

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?: Deane would do it, anything for money! But would Deane go in front? If that is the case Deane would have to strongely think about it. But the more money, the easier the thinking might go.

Anything else you would like to say?: Not really! :) Please tell me exactly what I did wrong if I have been denied, because I want to improve it as much as possible, i still see some flaws in my application. :) I like keeping a bit of humour in the application, I am like that, sorry if it is not fitting for an application !

-Metagaming defintion you gave is wrong but its on the right line kinda.

-For bio feels like its skipping parts, not given the closure or point. Learned skills through these,anything? Also where was this Halfling, need a link of our lore like a place. From your ambitions, tool and talents could explain how got this in your bio.

-For Open response questions, two of your answers need more detail. More movements and speeches.

Please wait 24 hours to re-apply.
