Out-Of-Character

Minecraft Account Name:908jaykay

How old are you?:I am 14 years of age, going on 15 in August.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence:Pacific Time, United states of America.

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I do believe so. The only problem I have is that sometimes I get words confused. For example: “What seem to be the Officer, problem?” It happens to me more often during speech, but hardly while typing.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:My name is Kyle and I am born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. I have my scuba diving license and I can play six different instruments. I am addicted to minecraft and technology.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?:It all depends how busy I am, but most likely anywhere between twenty to two hours a day.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying is the ability to be someone who you always wanted to be. It is the ability to shed the reality which you live in, and become the persona you have wanting to be. It means to truly let the inner geek be released, and be “yourself” in the world you are prepare to enter.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I have played Skyrim for about one to four hours day for about half a year now. That is pretty much it.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-Gaming is a sin. It makes me laugh. It is when you tell someone out of character to help you in character. Sounds confusing, but here is an example:

*Talking through Skype

A: Damn, someone asked me to a duel, but I can’t hold me own. Can you help me?

B: Sure, I’ll be over there in a second.

*In game

C: Thou are ready to battle?

A: I do believe I am ready.

*B shows out of nowhere

C: what the…

*C dies

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is: Power-Emoting is doing something that isn’t even realistic even in character/role-play. Here’s an example:

(A shoots you with a bullet)

(B catches bullet in mouth, chews it, and swallows it)

What do you expect this server will be like?: The true meaning of a minecraft server.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have played Fuzzycraft, Intoxicated, and Killion Detention Center. I left fuzzy because it immensely changed in one update. I left Intoxicated because it was repetitive after a while, same with Killion.

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

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

How did you hear about us?: Youtube videos from PetriDaGameNerd.

Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?: I have not. This is my first try.

In-Character:

Character Name: Laeron Hamon

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

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

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.): In the quite woods of Asulon lays a house. There lives a married couple, but these are no ordinary couple, they’re elves. Here lies the Hamon family, and as we take a closer look, the mother elf seems to be pregnant. This is celebrated, because it is very rare for a female elf to be pregnant. As months passed, the fetus of the elf developed in the mother’s womb, and within a week, Laeron Hamon was born. His skin was a light cinnamon color, with eyes as blue as the ocean. There was one humongous surprise; it seems that Laeron was born with dark brown hair! By the age of twnety, Laeron picked up his first gardening hoe, and helped his father out in the wheat fields. Naturally, Laeron had green thumb, and gave his family great harvest for seventy elven years! All of that changed though. One dark and foggy night, a pair of humans were walking about. They were wandering through the forest, and they came across the Hamon house. They did not want to go around the farm, because the property was gigantic. As they crossed through the wheat field, one dropped their torch. A fire the size of a great oak started, and burnt down the farm.

With nothing left, the Hamon’s had no choice left but to move into the city. Laeron did not approve of this. Since now he was one-hundred and thirty years old, he decided he would keep his farming life in the woods. Laeron’s parents moved to the elven city of Malinor, where his parents now live their remainder of their lives as furniture builders. Before Laeron decided to go back to the farm life, he wanted to explore the world first. His first and only stop was Asulon, because their, he had layed his eyes on the most beautiful wood elf he has seen. Laeron is usually very open and social, but he felt very shy around her. Out of embarrassment, he left the city and went to go back on the farm life. Every night he dreams of this mistress and their life together. Laeron whispers to himself “One day my fair lady, one day I will show you that I am worthy for thee.” He is now five-hundred and twenty-one years of age, and now resides in the outskirts of Malinor, working on his farm.

What are your Character's ambitions?: Laeron wants to go talk to the fair maiden in Malinor at least two months by now. He wants to introduce her into the farm, and hopefully marry her very soon. Laeron wants to have a very prosperous farm at least a century from now, having workers take care of it while Laeron tries to set up a bread shop in the city. After Laeron is too old for working age, it would please him to wander around Asulon for a few years.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Laerons favorite tool is his cobblestone hoe he made when he was younger. It reminds him of the old times before the farm was burnt down and of his childhood. Laeron has it hanging in his room, because the hoe is too old for use anymore.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Laeron has the talent of farming beautiful and healthy crops. It always seemed that whenever Laeron planted the seed, and took care of the crops himself, they bloomed majestically tall and beautiful. This occurs whenever he is planting in his farm land. No one can determine why this happens, because even though the soil isn’t the best for planting, his crops still grow magnificently. He would just use and hoe, from wood to diamond, and it would be the same every time!

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:

Other Information about your Character: Laeron favorite color is Green and he occasionally likes to stab monsters with a wooden stake.

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?

Laeron slowly approaches the men, but does not draw any attention so he can listen into the conversation.

The left guard spots me.

Left Guard: Halt, who goes there?!

Laeron: It is I, Laeron. I do not approve of the burdens you cause to this Halfling.

*Right Guard turns around

Right guard: Is that so? Well maybe you should leave this area before we slay you.

Laeron: Then prepare to duel you heathens.

*Laeron draws an iron sword

*Right guard draws an iron sword

*Left guard draws a bow

*Laeron runs up to the right guard and stabs him in the stomach, but the right guard does not die.

*Right guard hits Laeron in the should with his iron sword

*Left guard fires an arrow at Laerons Heart.

*Laeron is hit, and he surrenders.

Right guard: should we put him out of his misery?

Left guard: what the.. where is the Halfling?!

*Halfling has fled the scene.

*Laeron stabs right guard in the neck

*Right guard dies

*Left guard notices dead right guard, and goes after Laeron.

*Laeron pulls his bow, and shoots his fire aspect two arrow.

*Left guard cries with pain as he is dying in flames.

*Laeron stands up, with significant blood loss, walks away, and lives another day.

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?

Laeron decides to look in the man’s inventory, and decides this is the shirt he is looking for.

Laeron: How much would this shirt be my good fellow?

Vendor: That would be one hundred and twenty minas.

*Laeron sighs, as he realizes he only has a hundred minas.

Laeron: Could you give it to me for eighty?

Vendor: Are you mad? It took me the finest of wools to craft this.

Laeron: well sir, how about I make it a hundred?

Vendor: Well…you seem to be a nice man. I’ll do it this time. You better have enough money next time.

*Vendor gets the shirt from the inventory, and hands it to Laeron with an Intimidating look.

*Laeron smiles, and he gracefully receives the shirt from the man, and walks away.

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?: Laeron would stare at the items for a minute, realizing that one day, he could get these items with enough hard work. Laeron finds some dirt from a nearby area and covers the chest with the dirt. To make it even more convincing, Laeron put a small hole on the top of the hut for sunlight to get in. On top of the mound of dirt, Laeron planted a small oak sapling. Laeron put a blessing on the tree to make it grow, then walks away from the hut, hoping that the owners will come back for their items one day.

Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you in the common tongue, how do you respond?

*Laeron, panting and tired, looks around the camp

Laeron: Good day to you all, I’ve been stuck in the wild for quite a while.

Trader: That’s too bad, but here is a mug of water if you need it.

Laeron: Great thanks to you sir.

*Laeron reaches for the water

*Trader pulls the water away from him

Trader: Under a small fee of twenty minas.

Laeron: That is absolutely insane! You are mad old man. I would not to drink your water, even if it kills me.

Trader: suit yourself.

*Laeron walks to through the trading camp, looking for water.

*Woman walks toward Laeron, and hands him a drink.

Lauron: What is this

Woman: This is water, be prepared next time.

*Lauron gracefully accepts this drink, and drinks it all.

Lauron: Thank you?

*Lauron is confused as the woman disappeared.

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?: Laeron considers it for a while, then respectfully declines. Laeron does not like violence as long as it isn’t causing harm to himself or to anyone who doesn’t deserve it. Laeron sits at his house, thinking about how the battle would be if he did join, but then he realized that he isn’t a skilled fighter. Laeron writes out loud into his journal, “I will train on my swordsmanship from this day on.” Laeron walks outside, and attacks the next mob he sees.

Anything else you would like to say?: Thank you for listening to my scripts!!

Reasons:

• Your metagaming definition isn't quite correct.
  
• Your power-emoting definition is actually a definition of powergaming or god-modding.
  
• Side note: Skyrim is not role-playing experience. Role-playing (what we do on this server) and role-playing games (RPGs) are very different, despite the name similarities.
  
• Lore inconsistencies in your biography. If your character is five hundred years of age, he would remember some major events such as the Undead war and the escape to Asulon, yet these events have no mention whatsoever in your biography. I'd also like to see you use the names of more actual locations in Asulon.
  
• Powergaming/unrealistic Open Response Questions. I don't see why your character, who is a farmer, suddenly gained proficiency in both swordsmanship and archery to fight the warriors. You also appear to powergame quite a bit (stabbing a guard in the stomach and later neck without any apparent difficulty despite having no combat training. Also, you cannot switch from a sword to a bow and fire it in seconds. In addition, there are no fire aspect bows in Asulon.
  
• Conflicting Open Response Questions. You say in your last question that your character is not a skilled fighter, and yet you bested two armed warriors in the first question.
  
• Incorrect formatting.
  

Please use the correct formatting in your next application as it makes the application significantly easier to read.
