Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

Well to start off, I'm an avid roll-player who used to spend tons of time setting up dungeon and dragons campaigns for friends, but have recently lost my group :(. I'm a fan of anything related to undeath, and especially lich lore. I recently came across this server, and I'm extremely happy that I did, I myself like to create and write stories in my own fantasy worlds. Other than my love for fantasy, I'm very much into water-sports such as waterpolo.

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

I take online school, so I have tons and tons of free time, I would most likely be on every day for hours at a time.

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

Roleplaying to me is taking on the persona of an entirely unique personality, driven by you. You can be someone different, and explore the possibilities of other lives, while weaving your own destiny in a diverse new world. It's all about making your character realistic and life-like as possible.

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

Many....many dungeons and dragons characters and campaigns, creating fantasy characters for my own stories, and as well computer games such as fallout 3, oblivion, and skyrim ( I always Role play as well as frequently going to the extremes with mods to make it much easier).

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

It's using your knowledge that your character would not have access to. For me it can severely break immersion in a good campaign.

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

It's an action a character takes, frequently on another character, in which the subject of the emote has no saying. the simplest being Toprobd kills <Monstername>, also can break immersion.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

Seeing as there is a huge background story, and custom lore, I'm very excited to delve into this new world, I look forward to the story's my character will be able to tell, and the experiences i'll have with the other players. It's a new world, and I'm not sure what to expect, besides the basics of fantasy worlds and the features mine-craft presents.

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

I played on a imagicraft server, which was a zombie rpg, I was eventually promoted to AA (Apprentice Admin) but had to quit because of medical issues, and time spent in the hospital, I also ran a fairly successful server called brawl-craft for a short period of time.

Keltharis Drake a Northern Human male who was born into a upper-class family, who were later exiled from their birth-home. Drake was just a young-child then, and has little memories of life before the exile. His family's wealth was left in ruin after they were accused of necromancy and their name dragged in the dirt and forgotten, many family members loosing their lives in the process. What left of the family split up and went their separate ways. Drake was soon orphaned at the age of nine, when his father and mother went missing. He ended up living in the streets of Arethor as a beggar until he reached an appropriate age for labor. He kept his head down for most of his life, and moved from job to job, he came to favor fishing, though. He felt that the streets of Arethor were his adopted parents and rarely spent long duration's of time away from them.He spent most of the coin he earned on food, and the rest to his passion of Music, and poetry.

His life was turning around, a man who had faced hardships and poverty for as long as he remembered was finally doing alright for himself, while being able to completely afford food and the books, scrolls and tablets he required to further his musical knowledge. He went on to write songs, and poetry and live a middle class life, he learned how to be proper and higher-class once again, and tried everything to forgot about his parents, they had been missing for years now. Years passed, and the recognition Drake had wanted for his musical work had yet to come, as the years continued to pass, Drakes began to fall into depression, and it became difficult for him to work. He no longer wanted to have live performances, and instead receded to his estate. spent most of his time in his small estate in the city, writing and playing songs and poetry, his only escape from his illness. He grew more and more distant and alienated, as his depression worsened, turning to drugs. He felt that he deserved great fame, which would not come to him. His depression became so overwhelming, that it led him to leave the city he had lived the majority of his life, traveling to the wilds, to further alienate himself.

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?

My character has very little fighting experience, but though young he would most likely stand up for the halfling using his words and wit to try and get them to leave him alone, in combat, though he would probably flee.

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?

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?:

These could fair a good price, Drake was raised from a young age to be proper, therefore would most likely not take anything unless he was sure it was abandoned and not stealing.

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 offer to play them a song or read them a poem for exchange of some assistance and food. Drake would be polite.

+

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?:

The money is quite needed, but combat is something Drake has never favored, and therefore would not assist them, unless he had too, he may volunteer to play the guards some songs though!

Anything else you would like to say?:

I greatly look forward to roll-playing this character on the server, and I hope you guys will have me, thanks a ton for reading! I hope you guys enjoy the idea of the character!

Your application has been...

Denied.

Keep in mind that there is already a well-known House Drake of Oren. You can have the surname Drake but cannot be connected to that family when applying.

All ORQs need to be expanded on. Please make them all into well-developed paragraphs. One has not been answered at all.

Overall a very good application, but the current state of the ORQs completely prevents it from being accepted.

You can reapply 24 hours after this post. If you have any questions feel free to send me a PM.
