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

Semi-daily, depending on work/homework load, RL comes first.

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

Roleplaying is a way in which people get their urge to write and develop their own characters in an fictional setting. It is also an extremely good and never ending source of entertainment if done well, and cooperatively can be an awesome experience.

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

I have some experience Roleplaying on forums and in Star Wars the Old Republic

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

Meta-Gaming is the act of obtaining information OOCly and using it as IC knowledge, knowledge your character should not know. It is the RP equivalent to cheating.

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

Power-Emoting is the act of doing something that should be completely impossible for your character, such as killing an army of the undead three basilisks and four twenty-headed dragons with a ball-point pen. Essentially, it is doing something that is completely impossible for your character to be able to do.

In your own Words, define what Out of Character (OOC) is:

Out of Character is when you are not acting through your character, and are instead speaking on normal, Non-IC terms. This is often used to coordinate, plan out character development and other manner of communication that should not be taken into account ICly. There should always be a clear line between OOC and IC, things that are IC should never be taken OOCly.

In your own Words, define what In Character (IC) is:

In Character is when you are speaking through your character. This is the meat of the RP and you must take into account Canon, Character Personality, IC Knowledge and other important aspects must be taken into account. This is the realm in which all RP takes place in and evolves into amazing blossoming butterfly's of amazingness.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I expect this server to be something new, I have never RP'd on Minecraft before despite having been playing since alpha and therefore do not know what to expect. However, I have a very good feeling about this. Minecraft is not bound by the normal boundries of RP such as not having a visual representation or lack of a a good set or area to work in, In Minecraft you can build all of that yourself, you can build your own world and then live through it.

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

Rommely's Place (Admin-Alpha) Community closed after the server was not paid for (Owner had been sent to prison) The Mercs (Nation Server -Alpha -Moderator) Community dissipated due to disintrest, N@W (Beta - Pathfinder Guild Ranger Sergeant) RL started to get hectic and was forced to divert time elsewhere

Nikolai Kaligster

Human

What Sub-Race are you? (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.):

Nikolai was just a small lad when his father first taught him how to shoot a bow, he missed the target of course but the flame was lit and his passion spurred. He looked up at his father with his gleaming childish eyes and asked "How did i do daddy?" His father looked down at him, his little boy only five years old, finally learning to shoot a bow. His son must be way ahead of all the other boys int he village. "You did great son, let's try shooting again." Nikolai's father handed him another arrow and smiled as his boy cautiously notched the arrow and struggled to pull back the arrow. Whoosh, the arrow left it's place in the bow and flew towards the target with immense speed. Fwap! The arrow hits the target, pretty low and to the left on the second ring, but for a five year old boy? Nikolai's father couldn't be prouder.

NIkolai grew to be a interesting young man, at age 15 he was tall, agile, intelligent, amazing with a bow, not that bad of a swordsman, and had a talent for talking to other girls his age. However, there seemed to be something strange going on with Nikolai. He often wandered, the most some people saw of him was the silhouette of his tall slightly skinny body walking off into the distance. His family soon worried, was it just teenage angst? After all the boy had grown out his curly brown hair and had stopped eating as much as he used to. His father decided to follow him the next time he wandered. He followed him to the walls of the village, the only thing that had kept the town apart from the world that might as well have been burning ten years ago during the plague. He watched as his son sat down on the edge of the wall and just stared off into the distance. He took the opportunity to go and approach him. Nikolai jumped in fear as his father sat down next to him on the wall, staring off into the distance as well. "Watch'a thinking about my son?" He asked him through his large scruff of a beard. Nikolai looked off at the rolling landscape infront of him. "Why did the plague never get to our village dad?" He said. His Father Turned to him and gave him a somewhat worried curious look. "Because we didn't let anyone in. Grew all of our own food. Washed ourselves and the food thoroughly, we didn't take any chances. Those who lived within the walls that did get it, were quarantined and outcast." Nikolai nods solemnly know the grim fate of those who were outcast, left to die with no one to help them. "What about Aegis? What happened there?" Nikolai queried his father. His father chuckled loudly "That my son, i do not know. I may be old but i am not that old." He stands up witha huff and looks down at Nikolai "Son, i have a feeling one of these days you are going to go off on your own and make something of yourself, whether it be out of the kindness of your own heart or for your own gain, I know you will do something great." With that note he turned around and walked back to their home, leaving Nikolai sitting on the wall, pondering his father's statement.

The morning light shown brightly through Nikolai's window, waking him subtly from his deep slumber. Nikolai is now 19 and is ready to set out on his own, and to say his leave was cliche would be an understatement, his parents made sure of that. But when his parents had their fill of embarresing him, they gave their final "good lucks" to him, he took one last look at him home and set off to make a name for himself.

Personality:

Nikolai, upon first contact can appear to be very shy. However when you get him to open up, he is a very complex young man, or as complex as a Nineteen year old can be for that matter. Nikolai trys to find the best in everyone however tough it may be. He always trys to do some good, even if it means doing some evil to get there. Nikolai also takes time to appreciate some of the smaller things in life, and does not mind hardships that irritate many. He has a natural fascination with the world around him and will often take time to go and enjoy them, whether it simply be sitting next to a stream, or getting a birds eye view of a city.

Appearance:

Nikolai is a rather tall young man, standing at about Six foot and two inches tall, he is caucasian and has medium - long brown curly hair. His body build is on the non-muscular side but his long legs allow him to run rather fast. While his slender build does allow him to get into smaller places, it does severely hinder his ability to fight off stronger opponents in hand-to-hand combat and also causes him to be slightly more timid.

What are your Character's ambitions?:

He does not know what he wants to do with his life yet, only time and his adventures in Asulon will decide his fate.

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

Bow

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

While Nikolai is as skilled with a sword as the next man, his expertise is the bow.

Other Information about your Character:

Basically, just your average guy.

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?

Nikolai walked down the road from the cloud temple, the place was quite the sight. "Who knows, maybe i'll visit the temple again" Nikolai thought to himself. While walking Nikolai begins to hear yelling from down the road, he rolls his eyes. "People now adays don't appreciate peace and quiet don't they? They are always making noise." He thought out loud. He continues down the road until he spots the mugging taking place. "Great, just my luck." He thought. One of the warriors turns around and spots him "HEY! Kid! Get over here!" the warrior demanded. Nikolai reaches for his bow, quickly notching an arrow "Come on buddy, we don't have to do this!" Nikolai shouts at the man. The warrior stops, knowing that at the range they are at the arrow would have a high chance of penetrating his armor, however he continues to advance, calling the man's bluff. Nikolai backs up as the man advances on him pulling the arrow back while doing so. "Don't make me do this!" Nikolai pleaded with the man, not wanting to have to kill him. The Man continues his advance, looking back to see his comrade moves to join him , the halfling running off in the distance. "Well this isn't good." Nikolai thought as he took aim at the first warrior's stomach and let the arrow fly, only to have it be blocked by the warrior's instinctual raise of his shield. With that Nikolai drew his sword but soon realized it was futile and began to make a hasty retreat.

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?

Nikolai turns to the merchant rather annoyed, and sighs "Alright lad, what do you have?" Nikolai groaned, this man seemed like the type of rich uptight merchant who would try to rob him of every penny he had. However he rallied up his pride and decided to give the man a shot and took a look at his wares. To be fair, the man did have a nice supply of obsidian tipped arrows, which could prove useful later, but wow look at that price. There would be no way Nikolai could ever afford that. "30,000 minas for 70 obsidian tipped arrows?!" Nikolai exclaimed. The Merchant looks at him with a look of disgust "I would have you know that those arrows are a rarity and very much so worth the price you naive!" With that comment Nikolai stormed off, the man was insane to be charging those prices.

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?:

"Well, well, well what do we have here!" Nikolai exclaimed with joy as he stumble upon the hidden stash. Nikolai was sure he had hit the jack pot, although he was no thief, he would gladly help himself to some free goods that he could sell for a ton of minas, the sword alone could probably get him food for three months! Suddenly Nikolai heard a noise from outside the hut and whips around, drawing his sword. It was an old man, walking with an young boy. Nikolai sheathed his sword and approacehed the pair. "Hail." Nikolai said waving his hand, the old man looked at him while the young boy huddled behind him. "I stumbled upon someone trying to loot this hut, I'm assuming you are the owner?" he asked. The old man gave him a nod and Nikolai nodded back "Then i leave you to it's care, i hope everything is in there." He announces before walking away. Nikolai smiled to himself as he walked away "Note to self, be more careful next time" Nikolai thought to himself.

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?

Nikolai stumbled into the camp where he fell to the dirt with a thud, he hadn't eaten in two days and was out of energy. The traders greet him and Nikolai does his best to return the greeting to his fellow commoners. "Hail, and w-well met." Nikolai whispers with a cough, barely enough energy to get the words out of his own mouth. "Say, w-would you lads happen to have some food i can eat? I can pay." he manages to spit out at a normal volume. The traders look at each other and nod. "Come with us lad, we'll get you all fixed up." one of the traders says before lifting Nikolai up with the help of the other. They set him down on a nearby blanket and give him food and water, that was the last thing Nikolai could remember. Nikolai woke up the next morning dazed and confused "What happened?" he thought. He looked at his surroundings the traders were no where to be found, and neither was his money. "Well this has taken a turn for the worst." Nikolai thought out loud, knowing of his unfavorable situation.

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?: Nikolai nodded at the man who told him of the situation in town and thanked him. Walking out of the stuffy pub Nikolai glimpses at his surroundings, attempting to spot one of the local guardsmen to take him to his captain. Nikolai looked everywhere before seeing a table set up near the town barracks with several young adventurers lined up in front of it. Nikolai walks up to the young woman at the end of the line "Is this for taking out the bandits?" Nikolai asked the surprisingly well armed woman. She turns to him "No, we're waiting here to get arrested, what do ya think? Of course we are all ere' to take out those ruddy bandits! Don't ya know how much trouble they have caused?!" the woman snares at him in a sarcastic tone. "Jeez, don't have to get nasty with me lass, I was looking for where to sign up, but i didn't think they would be so public about it! I mean, shouldn't we be doing this in secret so the bandits don't know we're coming?" Nikolai says in return, the woman shrugs and moves up as the next person in line signs the parchment on the desk. Nikolai could tell this had poor planning and bad idea written all over it, but he signed up anyway.

Anything else you would like to say?:

Looking forward to RPing with you guys, I've spent some time in the WSC and have loved the server so far.
