[Raglin 64]

Minecraft Account Name: The_Ranger44

How old are you?: 17

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: Central USA

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Oh yes, most definitely.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am often on Minecraft, but for a while now I've been looking for a quality RP server. I write short stories all the time, as well, so my grammar isn't too bad.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Most of the week for about three to four hours a day, possibly?

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: I know that roleplaying is the potrayal of a character that is not one's self. Roleplay, to me, means you get to be that hero you always wanted to be, or the villain, even.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I've had over four years worth of RP experience on a WoW server.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-gaming is using information in a roleplay situation that would not be available to the character.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is: Well personally I call it godmodding, but it is the act of taking away another player's ability to respond, like in a combat situation. For instance, "Billy punches Joe in the face and knocks him flat out". No response from the other guy can be given.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I hope to find more RP than other servers, a great community, and a few pals to adventure with.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have played on Aerocraft, hoping for RP, but found none. That's why I left it.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes, I have.

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

How did you hear about us?: While on Aerocraft, a fellow RPer of mine told me that if I really wanted a quality RP experience, I should go to your server. Seeing that there is an application system gets my hopes up.

Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?: No, I haven't.

In-Character: In character is pretty much what it states. It means you are roleplaying as your character, and are not OOC. (Out of character)

Character Name: Raglin Thunderfist

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

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

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.): Raglin, is a dwarf of muscular stature. His arms show the muscle and wear and tear of a miner, as well as a soldier. His armor is of thick leather and chainmail hanging freely. Upon his back, is a double-edged axe that holds not only a few nicks but many bloody memories. Raglin is most definitely a cave dwarf, his skin dark and his beard darker. His beard is adorned with jewels and brass rings, along with thick braids. At all times his mind dwells on the dark caverns of dwarven cities, and the ringing of a pickaxe on ore.

Raglin has always loved his home, ever since they found the land known as Karik, a city built upon old dwarven ruins. Raglin started his life simply, serving in the mining colony of Kal'Dwain, working day and night, laboring in the dark tunnels. For a long time, Raglin felt as if he was missing something. He later on joined his fellow dwarves in Karik, living there for quite some time with his family.

When the dragon came, Raglin's life was turned upside down, for his family was slaughtered by the dragon, yet he managed to escape. For months, possibly years he was in depression, following along with his fellow dwarves to their new city, Khaz'A'Zhar. Raglin grew tired of working as a miner, and enlisted himself into the military. This, he knew, was where he belonged. Raglin fought with a ferocity that enstilled fear into his enemies, his teeth bared and his dark beard waving wildly.

Raglin fought alongside his brothers in their battle against orcs and other enemies alike. Raglin almost never showed a sign of tiring, and his hope was always radiant. After many battles, many scars, many friends lost, Raglin abandoned serving as a soldier, and now takes to vigilante work or just plain living life.

What are your Character's ambitions?: Raglin wishes to gain wealth and fame, as well as a few battle scars along the way.

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

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Raglin is proficient at mining, but prefers axe-fighting.

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 ): Only worked if I added it in attatchments. It will not paste despite what I do.

Other Information about your Character: Raglin is almost always underground, but he does enjoy getting out and breathing in fresh air. He almost always looks to make a friend, and if not that, an enemy.

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? Raglin yells loudly, "Oi! Leave tha' 'alfling alone!" He would charge, swinging his axe so that the flat side of the heavy weapon would slam into one of the armed warrior's chest, most likely knocking the wind out of him if the attack was successful. Raglin would meet the other warrior's blade in midair with his axe, his teeth setting as he kicked the man roughly in the groin, causing him to fall to his knees. Raglin brought up his axe, then would swiftly knock the man unconscious with it. He would turn to the halfling. "You alright, lad?" he asked with an eyebrow raised. The halfling would nod, "Thank you sir!" he would say joyfully. "Not a problem, lad. Not a problem", the dwarf would reply, taking his leave rather casually.

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 for you today?" Raglin would examine the stall. "Have ye any trinkets of sorts? Nothin' tae feminine, mind ye." he would add in with a chuckle. The man brought form a few silver rings. "These 'ere are nice, an' would go good with that beard of yours, eh?" the man said with a wink. Raglin laughed, "Alright, I'll take two. 'Ow much?" he asked, as he fished out a coin pouch. "Twenty minas, sir!" he said as he offered the two rings. "Great!" Raglin handed over twenty pieces, then took the rings, leaving the man with a wave.

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?: Raglin walks in, looking about. He opens the chest and blinks, "Been needing some iron bars, an' could sell that sword...." Raglin would put in a few coins, then remove the bars and sword, storing them in his pack. He would leave the house with a slight hop to his step, whistling a very dwarvish tune.

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? Raglin would approach them. "Hello! Ye happen tae have any food?" Raglin would ask, sitting down. He is given some refreshments, and he digs in rather quickly. "Och, thank ye lad. Nice tae find a friendly camp every now an' then, aye?" Raglin said through a mouth full of pork. The men nodded, "Indeed, master dwarf. Stay for a while, you can travel with us, if you'd like." Raglin would nod, "Aye, that'd be great." he would say with a raise of his mug.

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 respond? Raglin would accept the job with a nod. "Aye, lad. I can help ye there! Lead the way!" He would say with a big grin on his face. The party would meet the bandits at the road, and after a short confrontation, Raglin would charge forward, leading the guards to battle. Raglin's axe would fell many bandits, and his roar would strike fear into others. Once the battle would be over, Raglin would thank the men for the action, and take the reward with a curt salute and a wave.

Anything else you would like to say?: Just that I hope I did better this time! I did try to incorporate some lore, for I read the dwarven lore for a while before I wrote this. I hope the attatched image will work, because honestly it will not paste for the life of me. If it doesn't work, I would love some help on the subject. I've already thoroughly read the screenshot help guides, but mine just won't paste.

Your application has been...

Accepted!

An overall decent application! No doubt, my favourite part was the death of you characters family in Karik by the dragon. An excellent use of server lore there. One thing to caution you on - in ORQ #1 you dispatch the two men a bit too easily. Be careful to avoid powergaming when on the server.

Welcome to Asulon! Please wait patiently for a GM to whitelist you.
