[TeeJaii 2]

Out-Of-Character Information
Minecraft Account Name: teejaii
How old are you?: 18
Time-Zone: GMT/Currently BST
Have you read, understood and agreed to the rules?: Yes
What previous experience have you had in role-playing?: Multiple games and servers throughout. mainly through medieval type role-play however recently becoming more interested in fantasy/mythology type role-plays such as yourself
How did you hear about the Lord of the Craft?: Quick google search, found your website and was really impressed with how mature and professional it looked. I'm looking for a 100% mature environment and your server came out on top for me personally
Link any applications that you have previously made for the server: NA
Have you posted this application on the Minecraft Forum? Yes
Have you read the Elven lore, and shall you ensure you make use of it and follow it in your biography?: Yes, although slightly confusing, I'll get to grips with it

Definitions:
Role-playing: Becoming/playing a specific character position, whether in theatre or more recently gaming.
Meta-gaming: Playing a world created with a game? I'm not really 100% sure how to word it however LOTC would be mega-gaming as it's another universe created with Minecraft? Or when you use something you've learnt outside of the game, in the game. IE an announcement on this forum is made and we respond in game.
Power-emoting: Using emotes to represent actions or emotions within a game which abuses the system? Roleplaying that you've instantly sliced someone's head off takes away the ability of another player to respond or prevent it and therefore would not be allowed.

In-Character Information:
Full Name: Nandir Gurdir
Current Age: 18
Sub-race (if any): Dark Elf
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): I was born to a single haelun, never knew who my maln was and my haelun always refused to talk about him. I believe as a result of my haelun's young pregnancy she avoided other elves, although we rarely discussed it. As a result we grew up away from the major towns and cities and lived a simple life, eventually settling near Elandriel, using the settlement for supplies and trading when needed. 

 

At an early age I took a deep interest into collect herbs and flowers, and still collect today. When I was only 16 my haelun grew ill, and I was forced, for the first time, to travel with only a fer'sul, food and water to a busy city to try and seek medical aid. My first time in Malinor was a blur, I had never seen so many different people in one place. On the travel back I happened to stumble across a group of traveling Valah's, my first time. I was unsure what to do, but eventually hid and studying them as they passed. The real world contained new creatures? My haelun had kept me quite blind. However I did gain some medicine and upon my haelun receiving it she grew well very quickly.

My mhaelun realised I had enjoyed the city so much and meeting new people, and therefore once I turned 18 she explained that she could handle herself just fine and she wanted me to go explore the world. So that's what I'm about to start doing. It will be my first time experiencing all these new things, but I want to make her proud. I still remain in contact with my haelun, although it's difficult for her to contact me as I'm always on the move.
Ambitions for the Future: To become a trader, after traveling around the world I hope to settle down in a  city/town and trade on herbs/flowers and food
Personality: Charismatic
Skills: Still very young, developing skills at the minute although flower/herb spotting is a skill
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Very dark purple skin, with bright blue almost cyan eyes. Clothes mainly block greens with light pink. http://prntscr.com/12cpdo
Any other details you wish to share about your character: I am openly homosexual, and although I have never had any relationships, due to living in solitude, my character is fully aware of hi sexuality.


Open-Response-Questions
1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of older elves are mocking a small elven child. How do you react?
Answer: I would sit quietly and study the event until it was over. As I have rarely met other elves in my life I find it difficult to intercept in a situation like this, no matter how hard I want to. However after the older elves had gone I would approach the elf and aid in any way I can. Sharing food, drink or belongings. Making friends along the road is a key part of my life, as I strongly believe karma will come back around.
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, defenceless - what do you do?
Answer: Immediately approach the man and aid him. Offer him a new pouch or material for him to contain his coins, and I would not take or try to steal any. If anything I would offer food and water and medicine to the man. If he could talk I would ask him where is the nearest city or town of which I can go get more help for him. If the man happened to die in my care I would try my best to determine where he came from and return any of his possessions to his family/friends.
3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a coloured 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: As I have a profound interest in trading I would be more interested in his day-to-day life and how he loves his job, what he dislikes etc. I'd explain that I'm not sure how to haggle just yet, as only 18 years old I'm very young but I would ask if there was a possibility of becoming an apprentice or help him in his adventures another way.

Good application, although it needs some work.

• Your definitions need some work. With roleplaying, needs a bit more work, kinda short. Powergaming and metagaming are incorrect.
• Your biography is good, the only thing is the age. We've been in Anthos for a while already, so you may want to triple the age at least. That is, assuming you were born in Asulon.
• Although the skin would work, it looks a little diseased. If you can't get a better one, you could use it, but it's not the best looking.
• Open-response questions need dialogue, like a story. 

Please wait 24 hours before reapplying, and PM me if you have any questions.
