Definitions

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

 

Role-playing: Adding an imaginary, or sometimes implemented, twist that adds new elements of
teamwork, progressions, and in this case, gameplay. In role-playing you take on
a character and act as if you were them, with their own history and
experiences. In Lord of the Craft, you take on the character who you create,
and act as them in-game.

Meta-gaming: Using information taken from anywhere outside the game and using it in the game. If
you see on a message board that your clan is getting attacked, and in the game
you build defenses without any other way of finding out you were getting
attacked, that would be a form of meta-gaming.

Power-emoting: A forced action on another player that could be considered unfair, usually where the
victim player does not have time to react. In LOTC, if a human attacks an orc
without the orc getting any prior knowledge or warning, that would be a form of
power-emoting.

 

In-Character Information:

Complete the
following biography on your character:

 

Full Name: Lorem

Current Age: 102

Sub-race (if any):
Dark Elf

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

        Lorem himself remembers very little from his childhood. At the young age of 43, he was attacked by an unstable orc, and lost all memory from his past, including his name, age, and family. Through the next couple decades, he spent his time meditating in vast forests, and
concentrating on perfecting the art of archery with some attempt to spark
memory from his past. However, very little has returned to him to this day.

        After his many years of meditation, Lorem has remembered his name, age, and how to communicate with others. Through his returned ability to communicate, Lorem has heard from the
most prestigious of elves that his parents were at one time closer to fluent in
the ancient elven language than any elf has ever come before. In fact, they
were looked up to as great teachers to the elven race in the study of common
pronunciation and advanced language. However, ever since Lorem’s attack, his
parents are nowhere to be found, and it is unknown whether or not they are
still alive.

        Now over half a century later, Lorem still looks to remember his early childhood. After decades of long meditation, only world experience may bring back the Lost Life of Lorem.

Ambitions for the Future: To Remember his past, and find his parents.

Personality: Very odd, but intellectually gifted. Lorem’s meditation seems
to have given him guidance to assist others in time of need.

Skills: Excellent archer, gatherer, and is very patient and wise in
battle.

 

Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):

Any other details you wish to share about your character: Ready to take on different tasks for the people he trusts, Lorem is a reliable and efficient worker that will take on any challenge.

 

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 older elves are mocking a small elven child. How do you react?

 

Answer: I may be calm and collected, but I still believe as a sworn duty
to protect others from harm. I carefully approach the young elf with caution,
and greet him/her, interrupting the older elves from further communication. I glance
towards the older elves, making it apparent that I do possess a bow. I ask the
younger elf if he/she is ok, then ask what he/she is feeling. The young elf is
obviously distraught, but I comfort the young elf until they are ready to go
off on his/her young-elf quests once again.

 

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 instantly become very intrigued of the cause of this old man’s
fall. I examine the surrounding area for any possibilities of danger, and then
proceed to check if the old man is still in good health. Once the old man has
woken, I make sure his memory is still with him. It’s not a normal thing to do
as soon as someone has woken up, but perhaps after my accident it is simply a habit
I have forced myself into. The old man responds well and appears to be fully
functioning mentally. I then proceed to collect his coins for him, and make
sure none were left behind. The old man then tells me that he is off to his
home, and I accompany him on his journey, in case he happens to have another
accident.

 

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: Through my years of meditation, I have come to the conclusion that worldly possessions
mean truly very little in life. However, I humor the elven trader and allow him
to show me his wares. I closely study each of the items in order to determine
if any of them would be of use to me or my elven brethren. I recently noticed
the unfortunate aging of my bow, and it would be best if I soon replaced it. As
I have accumulated much over the years of humble living, I wouldn’t mind
sacrificing a few minas for a good bow. When the trader shows me the finest of his
bows, and discusses its fine job in both battle and hunting, I am instantly
intrigued. The trader then tells me that it’s a special bow, and because I seem
to be a skilled Dark Elf, I could have it for 40 minas. Now I am a dark elf of
class, but I instantly tell him I would pay 60 minas for such a bow. There is
no haggling that should ever be done with a bow of that quality. I instantly
pay the trader for the bow, and throw in a few extra for the tip. (I could only
imagine that a trader in the Elven Woodlands would not get the best business.)

A very well written application; a few changes and you'll be good to go!

 

Firstly, you need to add LOTC lore into your biography. I like the background story of your character, but you fail to mention any specific LOTC places and cities. Here is a link to the wiki where you can find information on elves - http://www.lordofthecraft.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

 

Lastly, your ORQ's are not traditionally done. Although they were well written, they lacked dialogue and detailed actions through role-play. Refer to an implemented application to see a proper example; don't plagiarize.

 

Please wait 24 hours after this post to apply. Feel free to PM me with any questions or concerns. Good Luck!
