[Orc Application] Tuktuk

[Thats Bobo 63]

Note: This app was moved back to be reviewed due to a discussion I had with Rocktoke. This is to be reviewed as normal.

Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name:

Rocktoke.

How old are you?:

16.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:

Gmt+1.

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

I do.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

A fellow with huge ambitions, I longboard and dance streetdance when im not playing Pc-Games. I love art, so i also paint when i feel like i can pull something nice off.

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

I dont really know, But now during my summer break around 5-6 hours a day.

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

When you have an oppurtunity to become anyone you like. You have a chance to take a break from real life and simply jump into a “Dream”. I use roleplaying to have fun, get away from any worries and of course meet people that like the same thing as me, Roleplaying.

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

I was new to roleplaying when i first joined this server 12 months ago. If we would count playing table-games, then i can say that i have some experiance of roleplaying before Lord of the craft.

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

Meta-gaming, Is one word that i do not like at all. I would say that Meta-Gaming is when someone uses information within thier character in-game that they got outside their character in other words “Out of character”.

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

Power emoting, It is a quite easy misstake to make if you are not familiar to roleplaying. Its always fun to be the almighty, But you still have to open a door for the partner which you are roleplaying with. Greg: “Draws his sword and prepares his shield.” Meta-Gamer: “Draws his sword quick as lightning and charges towards Greg, Blood and other flesh parts flies around when “Meta-gamer” Slays Greg.”

The meta-gamer does not give greg a chance to react, perhaps greg could have blocked the first hit? This would make the fight more detailed instead of an instant death.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

A great community which i know can deliver the buzz i need to get away from my problems. A fine peice of art that has been made from the servers players.

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

I played on a server called Northland, but as the Admins did not care if anyone griefed or broke any rule, i left.

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

I do.

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

I do.

How did you hear about us?:

I think i was searching for “Sick Epic buildings Minecraft” and the Lord of the craft trailer popped up. Long time ago.

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

I have made a few applications, but i dont think it is nessecary to put a link to them since i was denied.

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.):

((I have already played on this server with this account, But i got banned and the gm’s wanted me to make a new application to prove that i wanted to play again. So this character that im talking about is the character i used when i got banned it has about 6 months irl gameplay and he is a whitewash. It happend that i got denied because a Application team member thought i didnt know anything about orc’s but in fact i know alot. So please, this has all been done through roleplay, not something that came out of my brain.))

Tuktuk, is about 5'3 tall and has a small layer of grey hair on his head. Eyes are black as the night, but you can still see the gentle person on his inside. He wears human clothing to look elegant, he was raised to be and look sophisticated. He tends to be a very charming person which loves to take a break and just sit and look at the skies, imagining what might be out there and what opportunities everybody has and which ones that gets flushed away.

Back in Aegis, Tuktuk was a normal nomad but he was different, he wore human clothing. He did this because his one of his great friends was an old grumpy human, He was raised like an orc with all of their specialities, but Tuktuk learnt another thing as well. He thought since his friend and a lot of the people in the realm was wearing full covering clothes, he would do it too. So he asked a tailor if he could make something that would fit his broad shoulders and muscles. And he did.

Tuktuk got a fine white shirt and a pair of jeans that he loved. He wore everyday. He took care of it, washing, repairing anything that would make it look as fine as it was the first day he got them.

later his friend got really old, and he didn't want tuktuk to see him die, so he sent tuktuk away. Tuktuk got a map which would lead him to the orc kingdom, but also a bag of different clothes he could choose from.

When he arrived at the orc's settlement, everybody was starring at him. A large orc approached him, "Ugh, Lat whitewash". Tuktuk did not really understand what it meant, but he felt that it was something that was not good. After a while of trying to talk to the large orc, a few more orc's came to see the conversation.

After a while they started klomping Tuktuk. So Tuktuk ran, and he told himself that he would not return to the orc kingdom soon because they were just unsmart and could not respect a person if they were different. So tuktuk was searching for a new home when he finally met an elf.

The elf raised Tuktuk exactly like an elf, He taught Tuktuk to read and speak in the commun tongue. He fulfilled his dream, he was a popular orc that people thought were very smart and friendly, so Tuktuk had a good opportunity to become famous and known all over the realm. But he felt like that the elf's needed him so he stayed...

They found the Verge...

When Tuktuk first heard of the verge, he thought that it would be a horifying place where only trouble existed. But one day he decided to walk through the portal. He found a magnificent place both with beautyful flowers and ruins. He had an idea to make a town their, and he went through with it. At later days, many angry monsters started roaming around the Verge. There was no where to go except back to Aegis. He went back to his humble Elf house and continued his life.

In Asulon.

Tuktuk heard that the undead where destroying the world as they knew it and that there was no way to survive if you would stay. He saw everybody else packing their bags and collecting wood to make Huge ships and boats. He was so sad that he had to leave, but he was thinking what he could do with a new realm to explore. He changed his mind and built a smaller fishing boat with help from a fellow friend. When he arrived at the realm Asulon as we know it now. He charged the lands to find a new place for him to settle, but as he was sailing with a small fishing boat he was one of the last ones to arrive almost every green-grassed land was taken, only a stinking dry desert was left for him to build at. Tuktuk gathered support from other people that would help him fund his recourses, and for this he would give them housing. He fullfilled his dream with making a town.

Later on. As the time went by people died, moved or simply left the town because it was to boring. Tuktuk now only has a few residents and he has plans of making a plant-store...

What are your Character's ambitions?:

He has almost tried everything through out his long life as an orc. there is only one thing that he has not yet tried “Farming”, so he is thinking about turning is grumpy sandstone town into a garden paradise.

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

Since he is growing old, his favorite tool must be a staff, but as second he would choose a shovel. You can use a shovel to dig, klomp, farm and eat.

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

Tuktuk was once a great warrior by axe. Now in later times he has been fishing and cooking a whole lot.

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?

Tuktuk, would stop and simply watch the muggers rob the poor fellow. But as the thiefs would walk away, he would walk slowly with his staff up to the small halfling and say. - I know how it feels you poor fella’, I hope this will do. And he would give the halfling a medium sized pouch of minas. He would then wish the hafling no trouble and slowly walk away in happiness.

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?

- Well hello friend. Im must really tell you that im fine for today, I might come back tommarow if im missing anything, Ooh yes i forgot to mention, Nice clothing where did you get it? Depending what the merchant would say, tuktuk would keep the conversation going. Tuktuk would probably ask how the trades are going and some tips about trading routes around the realm. Then he would bow to the merchant and wish him good luck with his trades. -tuktuk leaves-

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?:

Tuktuk would not even think about taking them, as the same thing could happen to him or it might even be worse. Tuktuk has seen these kind of tents before in other places, and it has never gone to his mind to take anything, since the person might just be sleeping behind a tree not far away from the location of the tent.

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 must say that this is a fairly small camp for its decent population, Here take this “Tuktuk offers a larger pouch of minas” im soon at the end of my life anyway. I would rather see the money get used than in the end going into my grave. Tuktuk would then have a more detailed look around and maybe offer some tips about layout since he has experiance in town building.

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 would first do some re-search or even going their himself to see if the information was true, After that he would walk over to them and try to solve this problem without violence. If this would not work he would simply leave and let the younger men and guards handle this, if anyone asked why he left he would say that he would do no good their and that the guards is only doing their jobs.

Anything else you would like to say?:

I must say that i am really happy that i got banned, this gave me time to figure out if i really was a roleplayer and if it was worth trolling around. As a end to this application i must really thank Lirinya for teaching me a great lesson, It will only not help me while roleplaying but also in real life.

PS.

Dont deny this application just because you don't get what is going on, simply send me a private message so i can answer why im re-applying and what my character has gone through. Or simply ask Kittenaid AKA "Lirinya" she was the one to ban me in the first place. Thank you for reading my application.

Denied as you failed to wait 3 months this time. If I'm not mistaken this is app #7...

Added as a note.

The current limit is 5 applications. If you have failed to become whitelisted after that time, you must wait three months until applying once more.

You have written six applications.

You must not wait three months until writing another.

Perhaps you will figure out what you're doing with the IC section. Initially you were making a new character, then you decided against that.

PM me with any issues you may have with this but, if you are found to be posting more apps, they will be denied.

Under Review Denied

I am denying this application for multiple reasons, if you have any questions regarding the verdict please contact me, I will try to make it as clear as possible to you.

- Lore breaking character, I would understand that if your character was raised by Humans he would act Human, but this was not the case, you were raised by Nomad Orcs and just being "different" is not acceptable in my books, if you were to be different your parents would send you out into the desert at the age of five and let you rot there for being a weakling, so you would have not survived that by any means.

- It seems to me that your character does not have a very expansive history when hailing from Aegis, in my personal opinion you should have recalled past events and the like, because if your Biography is everything your character has expirienced he is quite dull.

- I suggest your read up on Orc lore properly in order to get some good insight on our Race, yes you have mentioned that you have already read it, but why would you then make a character that goes against the Orcish lore?

- You are impatient, I know you are eager to play like any other person applying to LoTC but it simply does not work this way, you even admitted to me that you could have done a better job on the Open Response Questions but you wanted to post your application as soon as possible, I want to see effort in the application, so that the applicant may show me that he is really willing to be part of this community.

You have had 7 apps since your first re-apply and 8 chances, the normal being 5. You will now serve your three months ban from appying.
