Stormbow's Application

[Stormbow 0]

Application
Out-Of-Character:
-Minecraft Account Name: Stormbow

-How old are you?: 38

-Time-Zone/Country of Residence: Arizona / USA

-Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: To whom it may concern- I am indeed one (of very few on the internet) who has a fine understanding of English grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Seeing as this is the internet, however, I rarely answer questions in a "complete sentence" format that I was taught in grade school.

-Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I've been a gamer since I was 11. I have played "Stormbow" in more than 50 online games since 1990. I've never been banned from a game.

-How much time could you be on the server weekly?: I "could" be on the server for roughly 126 hours, at most, per week. A fella's gotta sleep sometime.

-How long have you played minecraft?: A few months. ( Note: Not a complete sentence, as I mentioned earlier. heh )

-What do you know about roleplaying? How long have you been doing it? What kind?: I've posted RP guides on many game forums, on such topics as character archetypes, naming, and development. I've been a roleplayer since I first discovered Dungeons & Dragons at age 11, when I played with 3 six-sided dice and didn't even know the game had a name.

-What do you expect this server will be like?: To be brutally honest, I expect that no one will actually be roleplaying. I expect most people will be speaking out of character most of the time. I expect that few, if any, people will be interested in helping new players get acquainted with the server, and settled in. And I expect characters will start out as naked as the day they were born.

-What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I've played on a good number of servers, most of whom claimed to be "RP", "Extreme RP", or "Hardcore RP", but never fulfilled that claim. Said servers also had a tendency to spawn items regularly for people, turn night into day consistently, and generally dissuade users from returning by being disorganized, continually changing the theme or plugins of the server, or lacking certain "required" plugins for a good RP experience.

-Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules? What about the lore?: The Law? Yes. The Lore? Yes.

-Name the 4 races on this server. In alphabetical order: dwarf, elf, human, and orc.

-How did you hear about us?: I found you by wandering the Minecraft Forums.

-What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name? Stormbow; see poster name.

In-Character:

-Character Name: "Lord" Belrain Stormbow

-What is your Race?: Elven

-Lordofthecraft.net/forum forum account: Did this application template really just ask me this question twice in 4 questions? Yes, yes it did. Is this an attention to detail test?

-Biography: (The short version.)

Belrain Stormbow, known as "Stormbow" or "Storm" after years of military service with the Riders of Nesme, was once the Lord of a Castle called Greystone in the land of Faerun, in the crystal sphere of Abeir-Toril, the Forgotten Realms. He was knighted and granted the land, to become the Lord of Castle Greystone, by the Lady of Silverymoon, after many, many battles in the Trollmoors near Nesme, the city where he was raised and learned to become an accomplished bowyer and archer.

While preventing the Cult of Dragon from ascending their Archmage and an elder dragon to lichdom, four staves of legendary power were destroyed. The cataclysmic explosion caused the occupants of the castle to begin violently teleporting from sphere to sphere (( online game world to game world )) at random intervals. They have found themselves in Camelot, Azeroth, and many other worlds. In each new realm, they seek a way home, and to do good where possible along the way.

One thing you can always count on is that Stormbow's loathing of trolls has followed him from realm to realm. He is often the first to step up and defend others from their attacks, and has been a prominent character in helping many of the worlds he has visited fight against those who liken themselves to being trolls. He has a nose for rooting out these ne'er-do-wells, and is not easily tricked into believing their misbehavior is simply "sarcasm" or "just kidding". A troll by any other name still smells as rank.

-Character Age: 259

-Character Appearance: Stormbow is a younger than average looking elven male, with uncharacteristic red hair that is long and tied back in a pony tail. He wears the crown of his former homeland to remind him of the people he once served, of the friends and family he lost in the cataclysm, and of his duty to find a way home for all of them someday.

-Character Personality: Stormbow is very disciplined mentally, and follows a very strict personal code of honor. His code is based loosely on the Code of Chivalry and Courtly Love, with tenets for the defeat of trolls (in all their forms) being a priority.

-Your ambitions: Stormbow's main ambition is to get home. In the meanwhile, he is happy to help any in need along the way, continue to craft and sell the finest bows and arrows possible, and he is constantly on the lookout for trolls that need slaying.

-Can your character read or write?: Being an elven lord in his homeland, he was indeed taught to read and write in Common, Elven, Dwarven, Orc, and several other languages (to include understanding, making the conscious choice to never speak or write in Trollish).

-Can your character mine?: No, but he is a very fast learner and will adapt as necessary.

-Are you a capable builder? No, but he is a very fast learner and will adapt as necessary.

-Can you wield a sword?: Yes, very well, though he is much better with a bow.

-Enjoy Farming?: No, but he will do what is necessary to survive.

-Does your character have any special skills?: Darkvision, a trait of all elves where Stormbow is from, allows elves to see in darkness more clearly. (( My monitor does not display dark areas of games properly for reasons I don't understand, the screen just looks black to me when games go to "night", so I use GammaAdjuster to be able to see at all.))

-Other Information: I believe this post took about an hour to create.

You misspelled "assassin" and "assassins" every single time (14 times) that you typed it into the Minecraft forums post. Thankfully, there were no "rouges" (rogues) to be seen in the post.

You should include a link somewhere in your Minecraft (and other) server posts leading directly to a concise list of rules. I found it on the LoC homepage, but I'm sure most people have not read a single word of it because there is no "immediate, easy access" to it. Searching is beyond most internet user's ability, sadly enough.
