-Time-Zone/Country of Residence: North-East England

-Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Of course!

-Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: Hi everyone! My name is Jonathan Charlton. I am a confident guy who enjoys to have a good laugh and the odd pint down the pub (lol). My interests include: Basketball, Golf and the occasional bit of Football. I am currently training to join the RAF (Royal Air Force) as an IT Technician. My music taste is very vast, but I love Drum and Bass and Dubstep and anything Electronic!

-How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Hopefully very often as apart from the excercise Im doing right now, Im not up to much right now, because Ive just finished off University and have many free days to donate to this server.

-How long have you played minecraft?: If my memory serves me right, Ive played since around Beta 1.2

-What do you know about roleplaying? How long have you been doing it? What kind?: I love to Roleplay. I really get a sense of enjoyment from playing out a different character, as it plays out like a second life. I have a strong grip on RP, as I have played various bits of DnD in the past. I have spent most of my time on World of Warcraft RP servers, mainly being Argent Dawn. I really enjoy playing the Dragon Age series (although this newest one is a little bit of a let down for me), I also have devoted many hours to Fallout 3, Terraria (RP servers) and Mass Effect 2.

-What do you expect this server will be like?: Hopefully, a hell of a lot better then any of the other Minecraft servers that I have played on, as it seems to really understand the true elements behind a brilliant RP community. It also offers the best plugins possible to enhance this experience and make a great experience for all to join!

-What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I did look at Buxville and got acceptance for that, but left after not very long do to it being seriously laggy. The first proper RP server I joined was Medieval Civilisation with a few friends. I really enjoyed this server but after a few months in I left with a lot of other players in my faction due to unfair decisions and regulations put onto our faction. After that, I floated around small RP servers looking for a new experience, of with I found in my latest server, Oros. I am a very active member in this server, and it offers a nice experience for the small amount of people that play on it. However, it is limited as I am sometimes the only person on it at times which can get quite boring. Thats why I am looking for a server like this one that offers such an awesome experience.

-Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules? What about the lore?: I have read, understood and agreed to the rules of the server. I also agree to the Lore, which is very detailed and very well thought out.

-Name the 4 races on this server. Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Orcs.

-How did you hear about us?: Just saw this thread now while browsing through the server list and thought it was a great oppertunity to apply. I have also seen various banners on the forums which inclined me to apply.

In-Character:

-Character Name: Gragor Stonecrush

-What is your Race?: Orc

-Lordofthecraft.net/forum forum account: jjc1891

-Biography: Gragor was a middle-class Orc born into the Krogarmathok tribe, both his Mother and his Father were both hunters as both male and female Orcs are treated with equal power and responsibility. From an early age, Gragor was taught how to wield a sword firstly Wooden and later Iron. However, more importantly his Mother and Father taught him intensely how to use a Bow. Gragor learned to fire arrows with pinpoint accuracy, as well as how to treat the bow as if it were part of him. After many years of hunting with his parents, one night while round the fire his parents told Gragor that Hunting was not to be his destiny but rather his place in the world was to be in the Tribe's army. His skill with a bow, as his Father continued, had not gone un-noticed. Just the other day one of the Elders had payed a visit to inform them that Gragor's skills could be of great use in the army, as to which his parents had agreed it would be the best way forward for him. Now at the able age of 19, Gragor was sent to train to be a Soldier with the other recruits chosen. Both his parents saw this as a fantastic present to Gragor (it was an honour to be drafted into the army by his tribe). Over the coming five months, Gragor trained hard with the other recruits, and enjoyed the honourable path that had been chosen for him. After these five months, he was seen to have considerably more skill with a Bow than that of a Sword like most of the other recruits. It was not usual that Orcs were able with the Bow, not in the Krogarmathok Tribe anyway. Gragor learned to develop his unarmed combat also, finding that his fists were also a keen weapon that could be used effectively with the right skill. After a year of training against the other recruits, Gragor came out top in the group of recruits and it seemed that the Warlord's and Dominuses' favoured him. However, one Autumn night Gragor was awoken with a start. As he looked around he saw that it was not just him that was hearing things, all of the recruits were sat upright in their beds too. Suddenly one of the Warlord's Generals burst in shouting "Dwarves in Nation! Invasion force! Lok'tar Ogar brothers!" To that Gragor jumped into his armour and picked up his Bow, set his Greatsword across his back and rushed out to the battlements. To his horror, half of the Nation was on fire, the Dwarves must have slipped into the Nation unnoticed. Then Gragor saw it....the sector where his parents' home resided on fire. A tear immediately rolled down his cheek, to which he wiped away, bellowed a fierce roar and shouted "They...will...pay!" Gragor rushed straight down into the midst of the ensuing battle, firing arrows at the smaller, weaker Dwarves with great accuracy, managing to take out Nine of the small invaders before swapping the Bow for his Greatsword which he swung wildly and with great ease, making easy work of the smaller folk. It wasnt until he cleared out tens more that he took a look at his surroundings, realising how outnumbered they were. Even though they were smaller, weaker folk his fellow recruits and tribe members alike were being overcome by these Dwarves. It was not soon after this that the numbers in the tribes army had become a small circle quickly becoming surrounded. The general that had arrived in their sleeping quarters earlier bellowed "Hold them off, me get Warlord Nazgrel out!" With that he ran off towards the Warlord's quarters leaving Gragor and the remaining soldiers to defend the ever decresing area. After fighting for a few more moments, the only thing that could be done was to get out of the area, Gragor ran with the remaining few survivors which eventually split up. Did the Warlord get away in time? Who else survived? Gragor was not quite sure. One thing he did know though....those Dwarves would pay!

-Character Age: 24

-Character Appearance: Gragor is tall and fairly brutish looking. He has seen his fair share of wars and battles due to being enlisted at the age of 19. He has a couple of scars on his arms and back from war wounds a few years ago. Gragor's hair is well kept, as it was a mark of a strong fighter in his old tribe, and was an ancestral tradition that shows he is an able fighter. Gragor stands at 7'2'' and is well built. He is able with a sword but much prefers a good bow in his hands. Gragor has dark blue eyes and jet black dreadlocks. Able to hold up heavy armour easily, and is quite able with battle tactics.

-Character Personality: Gragor is quite easily provoked by other races and always remembers a face. However, he is very loyal to his fellow Orcs and will help out wherever he can. He is always on the lookout for honour both on the battlefield as an able fighter and in the tribe/kingdom as a known member of the Orcs. He also has a particular hatred towards Dwarves due to his past encounters with them.

-Your ambitions: To become an able soldier within the Orcs and maybe become the Battle-General or its equivalent. Also to be well known in the Orcish community, and hold the Rex's favour. To amass a decent wealth and repuation. Mainly, battle recognised and worthy of great honour.

-Can your character read or write?: Gragor struggles with writing greatly as he was brought up with a soldiers' instincts and his path was already chosen for him in the military. Gragor can read but finds it hard to pronounce the longer words with does frustrate him. However, he can read most words relatively easily.

-Can your character mine?: No.

-Are you a capable builder? Gragor only knows how to construct simple military structures for use on the battlefield.

-Can you wield a sword?: Yes, with ease.

-Enjoy Farming?: Gragor does not understand the concept of farming at all.

-Does your character have any special skills?: Through intense training Gragor is quite able with his fists in battle and can smash down his fists with tremendous force. ]

-Other Information: I have spent a lot of time constructing this application so I hope you will consider it greatly in return. I have heard nothing but good things about this server, so I cant wait to see what it will be like if I get accepted.
