Definitions

In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:

 

Role-playing:  Roleplaying is when you play as a character that's not you. It’s another life for me. It’s doing what your character should do. Like being a bandit and I saw a merchant I’d rob him when he was out of the city or town, or when no one’s around.

Meta-gaming:  Meta-gaming is when you use out of the game information. It would be like saying hello and saying there name even though they have yet to announce it.

Power-emoting: Is when you emote saying you kill this man and slay another, you essentially god-mode yourself. Example: 10 bandits encircle you. You emote “Your name run’s up to the first bandit and stabs him, Grabs his sword and cuts him in half. Your name Does a back flip throwing knives everywhere until the last one faces you. Your name grabs his throat lifts him up and stabs him in the gut with your free hand.

Complete the following biography on your character:

 

Full Name: Aluspin Ilias Silevion

Current Age: 85

Sub-race (if any): High Elf

Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):

                My brother, Arcres and I were abandoned when I was 3 and Arcres was 14. Our grandmother found us on her doorstep. She took us in and said "where's your parents." My brother gave her a note that said. “These are your grandchildren. Take care of them and show them all the wonderful things in life.” We grew up not knowing our parents, but we did fine. Our grandmother was nice and very thoughtful. We were devastated when she died at the age of 712. I was only 14. We sold the house and went on our travels to find work where ever we could find. 
My life changed when Arcres and I were on a road looking for a place to rest for a while. We were a few miles away from a village outside of Galahar and night was already a few hours in. Arcres said he would be taking the watch for the rest of the night. I fell asleep and woke up as I heard a spine chilling scream. I found my brother with an arrow deep in his chest. I looked around for the things that did this and saw three bandits. One had a short-bow and I knew he did this. The face I saw on that one was one that made me want to crawl in a deep whole and cry. As I started to get up to attack the leader threw a dagger that hit me in the gut. I watched as the bandits walked away with everything . I turned to my brother who was dying, and I said to him while crying “Don’t die on me my brother, you are everything I have left. Please don’t die.” He looked at me saying “I wish our parents could see us together. That’s what they always wanted. Find peace my brother…” And just like that he passed away. It was about 5 o’clock before some men found me with my dead brother. They bandaged me up and told me I would be ok. They asked what happened and I told them everything for I knew hiding information would do nothing for me. They took me to the village I was heading towards. The whole trip they never said anything. I loved that they didn't say anything to me, so I could cry all I wanted, but I wished they comforted me at the least. They stopped and dropped me off, leaving me with a few Minas to cope with the death of my brother, and start a new life. I went to the nearest Tavern and I found a room and laid down sobbing. The thought of how I could not of stopped them turned me against myself. I cried my eyes out and soon felt myself falling asleep. The next day I woke up feeling worthless, but as soon as I felt my eyes water up I felt a fire raging within me. I knew what I wanted vengeance. I went down stairs to the keeper and threw him the money I owed him for the night. He was just about to ask me if I wanted Breakfast, but my rage filled mind ignored him. I went to the Merchants in the area and bought all the supplies I needed and a horse. I sped out of the village remembering how I had the greatest older brother in the world. The thought of him made my rage double.
                Three months go by and my life is circled around the 3 bandits. I was 18 and was already going crazy. My life was consumed. My thoughts were angry and I was an outcast. I was against the world and the world against me. I had the thought of catching the bandit's in my head everywhere I went. I was crazy. 
1 year go's by and I see 2 friends walking in the woods. I hide from them and wait till they go by. That's when I remember. I remember what Arcres had been like and how he was a great older brother. I remember him looking out for me and all the times we spent together. But most importantly I remember him telling me to find peace before he passed away. I remember that and tears swelled up in me. I had disobeyed him. My whole life was centered on catching the bandits and bringing them to justice. When my older brother knew he was going to die he didn't want me to go crazy just to be at peace.
                I still hunted for the bandits, but I found a home in a village. I have a small home, but comfortable. As the years go by I fill my head with knowledge of the workings of the world. Filling my head with knowledge gave me a sense of peace and purpose. This was what Arcres would have wanted

Open-Response-Questions

Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.

____

 

1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react?

 

Answer: I know how being picked on feels from the life when I had with my grandmother and brother. I remember how when I got picked on my brother used to push the mockers away and was always there for me. I walk over to the group and try to ease the pressure off the young, small and feeble wood elf by making jokes of dark elves. Even though I don’t like wood elves in general I know he doesn’t deserve to be mocked.

 

2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?

 

Answer: Seeing the frail old man fall makes me think of how petty men are. The men are like little mouse’s living only at most a century. Then I think of what I could do with the coins. Really nothing for myself. There would be no reason for the money my life is great right now. So I help the man up and give him his coins. Then I walk away and mutter “frail” and laugh thinking of men and how short they live.

 

3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).

 

Answer: “So, trader you sell just about everything.”

“That’s what I said. What’s your name?”

“Aluspin, yours?”

“Just can call me john.”

“Ok, well john. You sellin’ any maps of this forest?”

“Yeah I think I might have one.”

“How much will you sell it to me for?”

“Considering this is my personal and only map of this here forest I’d say it will cost you quite a few minas.”

“How Much? I have plenty of money.”

“125 minas.”

“125 minas Is a lot for one map. I’ll give you 95 for it.”

“No that’s not enough for this is my one and only map. I’ll get lost without it.”

“We both know that’s not true, and you’re getting quite a bit for a map.”

“Hmm.. how about 120.”

“100.”

“110. No less.”

“Fine 110 it is.”

I hand the man by the name of John 110 minas and receive the full and complete map of the forest. Then I think to myself what a good deal I got on this map. 1 hour goes by and I realize that the map shows the forest but not all of it. I realize that while I thought I was haggling him he haggled me.

Your application has been...

 

 

 

Hello, after reading through your application I decided to deny your application for the following reasons:

 

First of all. I wish that you include some more lore in your application. Galahar was way back in Aegis, and we're in Anthos now. Maybe you could include some lore from Asulon, Elysium or Kalos! http://www.lordofthecraft.net/wiki/ That's a link to the wiki, you can probaply find some lore there, or you could PM an Application Team member or Lore Master!

 

Second of all, I wish for you to expand on your first and second Open Response Questions. They're rather short and contain no dialogue.

 

 

That was all, good luck on your next application!

 

 

Please re-apply in 24 hours from this post or face instant denial. If you have any questions, pop me a PM!
