In-Character Details

Character Name:Cretheus Nikandros

Character Race:Human

Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary:Story: Cretheus, great war hero and victorious Achaian general returns across the sea from the Ten-Years War to find that his home isle of Limnos has been sacked and burned by a band of the Laestrygonians of Syracuse. His fleets cross the Aegean and slay the godlike creatures, a feat that could not have been accomplished without Cretheus' great leadership and bravery. However, among the Laestrygonian dead is Agathon, demigod child of Zeus. This enrages the thunder-god, and with one swipe of his bolt strikes down the fleet of Limnosians. Cretheus manages to hang on to a section of the keel, landing on a mysterious beach in the land of Asulon.

Appearance: The long years have taken their toll on Cretheus Nikandros, but he retains his masculine appearance and staggering height. His long beard is the result of many years as an Achaian warrior, and the scars on his face show the many troubles and battles he has encountered.

What are your characters ambitions?:He wishes nothing more than to build another kingdom like that of Limnos, and to once again regain the favor of the gods.

Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here:http://imgur.com/RZ6zb

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character?He is extremely skilled in the art of war and diplomacy, is well known for keeping his head in stressful situations, and is an extremely skilled architect.

Open-Response-Questions

Each question here must be answered with a minimum of one full paragraph, and detail the scene you are given in the way it would happen in roleplay. These questions should be answered in first person. Be detailed, not short.

Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response?Cretheus: "Hello, good sir. What have you here?" Dwarf: "Nothing but some wheat and pork sir, I need the money to pay my rent in this grand new world." Cretheus: "We find ourselves in similar situations, friend, I have but just found myself here after a long journey over the sea. I only have a few gold pieces left in my pocket, and seeing as I need the food and you need the money, I will take some."

You’re in the Cloud Sanctuary late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. The only present monk is fast asleep, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?Cretheus [intervening]: "Orc, what quarrel have you with this helpless dwarf here?" Orc: "He is a thief! A filthy, lying, scoundrel! I turn my back for one minute and he snatches up my enchanted sword! I'm lucky I caught him when I did or he would have gotten away!" Cretheus: "Dwarf, is this true?" Dwarf: "Aye, but I need money for my family." Cretheus: "Come with me, little friend, I have a well-paying job on my farm that will be more than sufficient for you."

Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?:Cretheus: "Wise man, are you alright? Here, have your Minas back before it is stolen. As for your walking stick, I happen to have an extra in my pack" Man: "Thank you, kind sir, this Minas is a tribute for the king and without it he would have my head. I thank you for your kindness."

Your application has been...

Denied.

Explain what specific roleplaying experience you have.

Incorrect Meta-Gaming and Power-Emoting definitions. Add examples as well. You can find more info on the forums and wiki, but make sure to use your own words.

Your bio is an excellent retelling of ancient Grecian mythology, but is not suitable for the Lord of the Craft. I recommend reading the forums and wiki to get a sense of the server lore, and use that to rewrite your bio.

There are no enchanted swords as you suggest in ORQ #2.

Expand on all ORQs.

Wait at least 24 hours after this post to reapply. If you have any questions feel free to send me a PM.
