Out-Of-Character Information

The simplest section of the application! Simply answer these questions so we can get to know you a bit better.

What’s your Minecraft Account Name?: -

 

Sheffields

How old are you?: -

 

18

What time-zone do you live in?: -

 

GMT

Have you ever roleplayed before - if you have, how?: -

 

I would say I have been roleplaying for perhaps three years now. Be it Forum Roleplay, Specific MMO Roleplaying Servers or what have you. This is my first time roleplaying on a minecraft server, however.

Have you been on any other roleplaying servers?: -

 

None that are based on Minecraft.

Have you applied to this server before?(Please link past applications): -

 

No.


How did you hear about us?: -

 

I merely began searching for a Minecraft Roleplaying Server.

What do you think the server will be like? -

 

I originally perceived it to be a high-fantasy server (as it was advertised), albeit after glossing over the forums, it appears my original perceptions were wrong. Nontheless, I still wish to join this community, and experience it's roleplay, which now seems to be different according to each nation.

Have you read and agreed to the rules?: -

 

Indeed

What’s your favourite rule / the rule you agree with the most?: -

 

• Racism is allowed in-character, but make sure you don't do it out-of-character - it can only be towards other in-game races.

 

• "We don't allow 'cybering', paedophilia, bestiality, necrophilia, or
  anything akin to that - if you're not sure whether what you're doing is
  allowed - your best bet is: to not do it!"

Simply, the safety of the players must come first at all times.

Definitions

This is simply so that we can get an understanding of how much you know about roleplaying. Feel free to Google the answers, but make sure that you write the reply in your own words, not another website / person's!

What is roleplaying?: -

 

Roleplaying is the idea of taking direct control of a fictional characters life. You almost become them, thinking as they would, and acting as they would. I like to view it as acting on a stage, albeit the script is made up as you go along.

What’s metagaming?: -

 

Using information your character would not have knowledge of.

What’s powergaming?: -

 

SImply giving your character ridiculous abilities that they would, realistically, have no means of doing.

Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family: -

 

Having been an only child, Edgar was raised on the outskirts of Solace. His family were poor, and could afford no luxuries, yet the family always remained a somewhat optimistic one, and Edgars parents were extremely lenient, almost always allowing him to do things of his own choice, instead of working on the farm, which was odd for an impoverished, farming family.

 

There is not much else to be said for his Childhood, for it largely consisted of playing with his friends, and helping around on the farm when he was not found to be playing. There were no major events in his childhood, no disasters and no major hardships. Life was simple.

 

However, his parents, growing old and somewhat frail, opted to stay on Asulon, instead of also making their way towards Anthos. They provided Edgar with what little they had. Tattered clothing, several gold pieces, and a mug, engraved both the names of Edgar, and his parents. When the many people of Asulon began to settle on Anthos, it was a shock for Edgar at first. He had a feeling of emptiness, a feeling of a life without purpose. Until now, his parents had given him direction, guidance and chores. He now had none of that. Instead, a large, new world lay before him, with endless possibilities and outcomes.

 

Edgar had no large aspirations. He new he would not change the way the world works. He simply wanted to get by. To life a fulfilling life. With that in mind, he simply returned to what he knew. Working on a farm. He remained working on the farm for years, earning what he could, and learning what he could also.

 

Now, however. Edgar has left the farm. He is instead on his way to bigger, greater things. His aspiration being to open an inn. Not an easy task for a man such as him, yet he knew he had the skills to run one, and the task now, was to get the inn itself...

What are they like (personality)?: -

 

A jovial and optimistic man, Edgar is never one to be in a foul mood, no matter the circumstances. He is somewhat known for it. Despite this, he is perhaps naive to the world around him, caring little for the wars or politics of the nations.

 

Edgar is also known to be extremely helpful. Perhaps a reason why he wishes to open his inn, is to help the weary travellers of Anthos. He believes, whilst there are many heroes, and adventurers in Anthos, without people such as him to tend to them whilst they rest, they would simply fade.

What are their ambitions?: -

 

Edgar has simple aspirations for his life. He wishes to open an inn, and simply remain there until his death. He does not care for a family, for wars, or for politics. He merely wishes to live a life that is fulfilling to him.

Do they have any special skills?: -

 

Farming, Brewing and Managing. Edgar has refined himself so that he is able to run an inn without hitch, and his experiences in life have all contributed to the skills he has now.

What are their weaknesses?: -

 

Edgar has never held a sword in his life (or any weapon for that matter), and he expects never to have too. He is perhaps all too easy a target for bandits, or any other with foul ambitions.

Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: -

 

Overweight, with dark brown, ragged hair and slight stubble to accompany it. He is never one to be seen in elaborate clothing, tending to simply stick to comfortable, yet somewhat tattered clothing.

Anything else you want to say about them?: -

 

Nope!

Please give us a screenshot of your character’s skin: -

Your application has been...



It's 'Southeron' and not 'Southerner', a personal pet peeve. Otherwise, excellent work.

Welcome to Anthos! Please wait patiently for a GM to whitelist you.
