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 walk up to them, politely greet
them and ask them to stop. I tell them a joke or two to and try to take their
mind off of what is going on around them. I grab the child’s hand and send him
away from the group. I turn to the elves mocking him and then say “look at you
all, making fun of a child, you should all be ashamed of yourselves.” I then go
off to find the child and question him about what happened and ask if I can
help him find his parents.

 

 

 

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: I run towards him ask him if he
is okay. I bring him to his feet then help him pick up all of his coins. Then
grab a spare sack from my pocket and put the coins in it. I hand it to him and
walk him to shelter. Once I get him to the nearest town I offer him some of my
spare food and water then I walk off.

 

 

 

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: As the man calls me over, I
look to the carts various wares. A quiver of sharpened arrows catches my eye.
As I look to them, the man smiles and offers me a price of thirty minas. I
check my pockets, and notice a plethora of spare minas. I look up to the man
and begin to speak, “Thirty minas will suit me just fine.” He offers to haggle,
but I decline. I reminisce back to my childhood, and relish the fact that I can
now buy expensive goods without worry. “No haggling needed. Just the arrows.” I
hand him the coin, and head off to fire a few practice shots at the range.

Sadly I have had to deny your application, the reasons are as follows:

 

• Your definitions are very short and need to me expanded. I would suggest adding an example or two too.
• Your past and history section is good although lacks server lore, I would suggest adding some more into it.
• You left out the answer to the question "Ambitions for the future"
• Your ORQ's lack some detail, I would suggest adding more detail to emotes.
• You did not post the application on the minecraft forums.

Overall it was not a bad first attempt.

 

Please wait twenty-four hours from this post before re-applying. If you have any questions feel free to PM me. Good luck!
