Complete the following biography on your character:

Full Name: Ray Salutar

Current Age: 31

Sub-race (if any): Northerner

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

Ray, a 18 year old man, had been looking at the mysterious looking crown with the red gem in it for a long time. His father had forbidden him to even go near it, though Ray used to sneak up to it and look at it when the others didnt notice, though they where on a boat, so there wasnt much room for hiding. And there wasn't much for him to do, except helping the rest of the crew carrying of the goods they sold when they were stationed at ports.

There was something strange with the crown, though Ray couldn't figure out what. 

He sneaked up closer to the crown. While he was closing in to it he could feel that the wind was picking up and that the boat started to sway. It started to rain.

When he picked up the crown he looked out at the violent sea.

The waves where getting quite large and the entire crew started to panic when they saw the giant wave closing in that was about to devour them.

In the midst of the panic Ray just stared at the giant wave and thought for a second that he saw something similiar to a giant tentacle in it. He dismissed the idea quickly as realising that would be impossible and as the giant wave devoured them everything went black.

Ray could feel a sudden urge to breathe. He flailed with his arms, hoping to reach the surface.

suddenly he felt a cold and big hand grasp his hand.

He was pulled out of the water and found himself at some wreckage of the boat that still floated.

The man who had pulled him up was his father, but before any of them had a chance of saying anything another wave fell upon them.

 

Ray opened is eyes and saw a beach with many sharp cliffs pointing violently out towards the sea and the wreckage where he had spent his entire life

He felt a sharp stinging pain all over his body as his senses returned.

He stood up and felt to his relief that he could still walk.

It was still raining,

 and looking back towards the ocean he felt both rage and fear.

Rage against what the sea had taken from him and fear of it happening again.

He felt blood pour down from his hand as he realised that he was still grasping the crown hard.

He put it on top of his head and felt protected. From there he nearly never took it of.

After that he lived a few months in the wilderness until that he stumbled upon a city and living there on the streets for 7 years. Then he felt an urge to return to the wilderness as he did not gain anything here in the city. Now, 6 years later, he feels another urge. Though he cannot really specify what it is he wants. He suspects it is partly curiosity if what happened 13 years ago was a mere coinsidence or if there was some kind of higher power involved

Ambitions for the Future: He has no clear ambition except that he needs money and finding out about what happened 13 years ago.

Personality: Ray is quite friendly, though he is rather shy about talking to other people due to that he has lived quite a while without much people to talk to, otherwise he feels quite confident thanks to the crown according to Ray

Skills: He has a rather skilled swordsarm, as he has been practicing with alot of rusty and near-broken swords that he has found out in the wild.

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. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?

Answer: I try to not wake any kind of suspiciousness while i walk to the guards and informs them about what I've seen.


[b]2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]

Answer: I would just wait a few seconds to see if they actully are threatening him, if they are and the old mans life seems to be in danger I would attack the bandits, otherwise I would ask them outside theyre reach and ask about what all this is about. If the old man would like to reward me for what i did i would take only take a very small ammount or none at all of what he is offering, considering he needs it more than me.


3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).

Answer: I'd guess I would start with asking him how much that iron sword he has is worth.

He says he will sell it for 50 minas. If I can afford without loosing too much of my total money. If I cant afford it without loosing a medium/large ammount of my total money I would ask what he would think of 38 minas, if he doesn't accept that I would raise my offer to 40 minas, then if he wouldn't accept that I would to 45 as my final offer.

• Your role playing definition needs checking over.
• Your Meta-Gaming definition needs an Example
• Your Power-Gaming definition needs correcting.

 

 

• Your Biography was not that bad however try to make sure you are using server lore, this will make your application a lot better and will also give you a quick learning adventure about Lord Of The Craft. Also go into detail about your character and maybe talk about a key event in his life or talk about his strengths and weaknesses  The more detail about your characters life the better as it will tell us, The Application Team that you understand your characters role on Lord Of The Craft. Server Lore can be: Language, Place names, Characters, events, etc..

 

I think this whole idea with the crown and tentacles...etc. Is a little out of sketch for Lord of the Craft. If I were you I would simplify your whole biography to just key events and information about your characters life, as 1. It makes it more simple 2.It will read more fluently. However it is your choice.

 

If you need any more help on Lore or have any questions feel free to ask a lore master or member of the Application Team. I am sure they will be happy to help.

 

• Your Character Questions are too short, please answer these with a paragraph long answer. This will re-assure us that you understand your character well enough to role play with it.

 

 

• Your Open Response Question need to display the role play method in them to achieve an accepted application. You need to set it out like this:

 

Edward looks around the Inn and notices a man tucked away in the corner. The man is wearing dark robes with a hood resting over his head. He walks across the room towards the man before calling over "Oi You! Come over here!" The man looks up towards Edward and gasps before attempting to get up and flee.

 

You should set out your role play that and then we will know that you can control role play with your character and also know if you have the role-playing skills to obtain a place on our server. If you can do this method with every single Open Response Questions they will be at a closer to acceptable applications standard. However do not forget to include details about your character and too make sure you stay as your character throughout the role play. Include his/her(s) strengths or weaknesses to make your role playing effective.
