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.):

For as long as I can remember, I was an orphan. I have no knowledge of my family and it won’t bother me if I ever do find out. I have dark hair, tan skin, very studious and surprisingly good with a sword for a wood elf. I’ve lived in the cities of Malinor and always escaped the orphanage to explore the wilderness. In my childhood I’ve befriended another elf outside of the orphanage, Mosun. He would even explore the woods with me, yet wanted to keep me “a secret friend”, for reasons I don’t ask of. Though I usually make friends with almost everyone I meet, but I never liked humans, mostly because of the humans at the orphanage where horrible to all the children. I suppose everyone at that orphanage has bad bias for humans. I sound like a very skilled elf but for one condition I’ve had to live with all my life so far, Anxiety Disorder. This affected me a lot as a child, that must be the reason the orphanage humans disliked me more… I was more work. I remember as a child, waking up everyone else with panic attacks that I have in the middle of the night in my sleep. Though not as much as a young adult, I still randomly fear small battles and even walk away from simple conversations from sudden stress.

But now I’m 22 living aside Mosun in Normador. Mosun is a successful guard living with 3 roommates, yet as of now I have no home or job I sleep in the trees and help out Mosun as a guard in Normador. I still run out at night to the forest just as I did as a boy, but mostly to sleep as of now. I am currently looking for a role in the city that I can enjoy and get a house of my own and stop living off bread from the temple.

What are your Character's ambitions?: To learn and discover from experience (and even to write a book about his life one day). And settle in Normador.

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

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Adaptation, alchemy, and great with a sword.

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 ):

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? Without hesitating I run up and attempt to stab the first warrior in the chest with my sword. Then facing the other warrior I tell the halfing to grab his things and go, once the halfings gone I make attempt to make a quick escape myself, hopefully sparing the other warrior.

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? I bargain for a good set of light armor from him for a backup, it’s also good to have an extra of anything. And ask for any other merchants around, blacksmiths, cooks, ect. That I can go to for my other needs.

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?: Before I would take it, I examine the hut further, looking for hot coals, half eaten foods, anything that would indicate that someone is still here. With no one there I would take the iron bars, but check the golden sword if it’s worth taking.

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 most likely never go hungry in the wilderness, from my experimenting with eatables in the woods as a boy but lost yes. Anyway, I would ask for direction to the nearest town and ask if anyone would spare me any 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?: I gladly assist them in the attack. I am excited by this “reward”, and I always need to keep my swordsmanship sharp, considering I’m a wood elf.

Anything else you would like to say?: This looks like an great server, and I usually don't join servers with Applications like this, or worked this hard to get on a server. Thank Monsun (marc333333333) for telling me about the server. I may even start to make lets plays here on my (very, very) small YouTube channel; If you interested in that, PM me about it. I really feel good about this one... I hope I get in!

Good job improving your definition for Role Playing. It is a lot better than last time around. The same with your Power-Gaming and Meta-Gaming definitions. You did a great job of improving on those. They show that you have learned more about the basic principles of RP.

Good job writing your biography. It is an interesting read, along with it being two paragraphs of length. Also, not a bad job of implementing server lore. You managed to squeeze in a few places into your biography. However, there was one slight problem. You have written that you are 22 years of age. I am guessing that you don't understand how elven aging works on LoTC yet. 22 years of age is how old a very young elf would be. If you are looking to be something fairly close to a 22 year old male, I would suggest changing your age to something like 120. Also, you need to expand a bit on your character's personality, traits, and appearance.

Not a bad job with your ORQs. But make sure you make each and every one around a paragraph long. Also, you need to give reasoning for your first ORQ. Why would your character protect halflings? Did he have a halfling friend as a child? Or is he just nice?

Your close to acceptance! Good luck! Let me know if you need any help!

Please wait 24 hours before re-applying.

PM me if you would like further explanation/help.

While you wait…Go and vote for the server to support it!

We all would really appreciate it.
