Do you have a good grip on English grammar and the English language?:

Yes. My first language is french, but I'm able to communicate in English without any problems.

Have you had any previous experience in roleplaying?:

Yes, I played a bit on roleplay servers before. Unfortunately, those didn't really enforce roleplay, so I left pretty fast.

Have you read and understood and agree to the rules?:

Yes, I understood them. I will also refer to them if I'm not sure about what I am or am not allowed to do in certain situations.

How did you hear about the Lord of the Craft?:

I saw this screenshot on a thread on reddit: http://i.imgur.com/chMfW.jpg

People kept mentioning "lotc" so I googled it and ended up here.

Nope, this is my first one.

Have you posted this application on Minecraft Forum? If not, post it here:http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/832121-the-lord-of-the-craft-enter-the-world-of-asulon-o-f-f-i-c-i-a-l-l-y-t-h-e-n-o-1-r-p-s-e-r-v-e-r-100-unique-gameplay/!:

Definitions

In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is:

Creating an imaginary character with it's own personality and playing as him, acting as he would act. With a good backstory, it's like living another life in a different world.

In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is:

It's when you use informations that your character does not know to your advantage. For example, if my character were to find a treasure buried, he needs to have a reason to find it, like having another character in-game tell him. Using external resources to advantage myself would be cheating.

In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is:

It's bad roleplay. It's saying "I hit you with my sword and kill you instantly" without letting the other time to react. A lot of the time, these actions could happen in the fantasy world, but nobody do it because it breaks the fun for everyone and it kills roleplay.

In-Character Details

Character Name:Darius Donnelly

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:

Darius was born in a farm, in a Southeron family. As soon as he was born, his future was already traced. Being the fourth son, he would never inherit the farm, he would have to help his father and brothers maintaining it for all his life. He would never leave his small village in the south. For everyone where he lived, that's how life worked. But, as soon as he was born, everybody knew he was different. His skin was brighter than the others. That could only mean one thing: his mother had some sort of affair with a Northerner and he was the result. His father, in a fit of rage, threw the mother away, and told her to never come back. She was never heard from again. But the man was a good man. He never threw his rage on his son, as he knew it wasn't his fault. Darius had a pretty decent, boring life.

But he was different. He was a nomad, he didn't want to stay there for all his life. He wanted to explore the world, to meet people. He was an adventurer at heart. On the dawn of his 17th birthday, he left a note to his family and left. As soon as he made 3 steps, he wanted to come back home. But he knew if he did, he would never have the willpower to leave again. So he walked away from his good life, into adventure. He started walking north, with a scarf around his neck, wondering how cold it would be and how he would feed himself.

Physical apparence:

Darius was born from a Southeron mother and a Northerner father. He has a bright skin, dark hair and green eyes. He has the body of a farmer. When he left home, he put on grey clothes and brought a red scarf he found in the farm. He stole his step-father's brown belt to never forget his family.

Personality:

Darius is a coward. He will flee from combat and hide from suspicious looking people. He is also very naive. If a beggar told him he needed money for a sacred quest, Darius would soon be a beggar too. This makes people naturally like him. They never find a threat in Darius, so they trust him. The young adventurer can't stay at the same place for too long. He is a nomad and an adventurer at heart. He wants to roam the land until his legs stop working. His will to explore his stronger than his cowardliness, and facing the world alone might turn him into a different person over time.

What are your characters ambitions?: Darius wants to explore the lands and make books from his travels. Inside of him, there is also a desire of finding his true parents, but he doesn't know that.

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

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character:

I think I said everything that needed to be told. If you see him online running away from you, don't be surprised and look less suspicious.

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?I stare at the dwarf. How come someone can be this small? It can't be a child, children don't have beards, or do they? I approach the dwarf and ask him his age. When he responds with a deep voice that he is over half a century old, I can't believe it. I never knew there were different people out there, different races. I buy him a few goods and go on my way, not looking where I'm walking.

You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?As soon as I see this, I remember the stories of the good knights. How they save innocents and gain princesses. I'm still thinking of the princesses when I find myself far enough to be out of sight. When I hear screams of pain and terror, I put my hands on my ears and run ever faster. I run on a rock and fall so hard I lose consciousness. The following day, I wonder how I ended up there and have no memory of the night before. I tell myself I probably had a reason to go that way, so I start walking even more far from the road, deep into an unknown forest.

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?:Money doesn't interest me. It can be useful to buy food, but I'm able to pick berries anyway. I help the old man to grab his Minas on the ground and ask him how come he is wandering around in town with so much wealth and no way to defend himself. He gives me a strange look and tell me he could kill anyone with his mystic powers. I find the old man weird and walk away, thinking he must be some rich insane elder. I didn't know at that time about magic.

Denied.

Even though this is a nice application, with a decent enough character, you will need to implement some of our server lore into your biography. You implemented Northerner and Southerner, but I wish for you too implement more.

Please re-apply in 24 hours.
