[DfiantAngel 1]

Hey so i was in the process of making this application and the links I was using was giving me a 404 error. I posted this here assuming this is where it needs to go. I apologize if that's not the case. Anyway, here is my application. Hope you like it. =)

http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/57831-tyrian-darkwood/#entry450906

How did you hear about us?: - From previous play.

 

What do you think the server will be

curious how it has evolved, and I am excited to get another opportunity to try
it out.

Have you read and agreed to the
rules?: - Yes

What’s your favourite rule / the
rule you agree with the most?: - I am extremely opposed to meta-gaming.
Character knowledge should be just that, anything else really does a disservice
to the story at hand.



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 taking a created backstory
on a fabricated character, and essentially living it out in the present as the
character would; interacting with the world and others around you based on
character experiences and character goals.

What’s metagaming?: - Metagaming is essentially stepping outside

of character knowledge, skill, and history and using player knowledge, skill,
and strategy. Doing or knowing things that the character is simply incapable to
do is Metagaming. Hearing of a location or event ooc and then proceeding to
explore it is acting as if the character is just wandering aimlessly or
addressing someone by name without ever hearing it are examples of breaches into
the meta.

What’s powergaming?: - Powergaming… or Min-maxing is players with

the intent of just becoming strong outside of RP purposes. Players that decide
to be the biggest and baddest guy on campus without roleplay worthy experiences
are examples of players that power game. Players that max out their sword
strength without training or rp combat experience are not excluded by avid
power gamers. When I play, I want to have my stats justify and reinforce the
experiences my character came from.

In-Character Information



Now you actually make your character - be creative but stay reasonable! Make
sure they make sense and that they follow lore. Try to come up with a character
that you actually want to play.


What’s your character called?: - Aranor Nightoak

What race are they (and sub-race)?: - Wood Elf

What sex are they?: - Male

How old are they?: - 27

Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family
(Include server lore when writing): - 

Aranor was born into the world in the town of Ager. With only his mother to care for him
since birth, she claimed work where she could, using her varied talents as a
contracted farmhand. When work was scarce, she would turn to more seedy
dealings such as prostitution and thievery so that little Aranor was fed and clothed.
Such a life caught up with the poor woman, and the tragic life she led placed
her in danger. Desperate for currency, she ventured deep into the Holy Oren
Empire in an attempt to steal from a noble family, only to be caught by the
guard. Fear had overwhelmed her at the moment of her capture, and she fought
back, brandishing a rusted dagger against the guardsmen.
 

The idea of spending her days in a cell while her child starved forced her into action,
but she was not skilled enough to overwhelm trained swordsmen. She was dealt
with a deep fatal wound, and Aranor was seemingly abandoned. He too turned to a
life of petty crime, stealing crops and merchant goods to quench his hunger.
His lack of skill led to his ultimate capture, where he was flogged and
detained for his actions.  A passing
guard looked upon him curiously, seeing a keen resemblance to female wood elf
his blade struck down. As if compelled by supernatural means, the man begged
the convicted street rat for forgiveness, detailing the events that transpired the
night of her death.

 

The story opened Aranor’s eyes to the world. Of all the emotions he felt, pity was the
most evident. He looked at the guard with disgust but realized that the image
of his lifeless mother was still vivid in the memory of the man before him. He
felt pity for him, and his mother, who failed to do what she could for her
child. Aranor’s pity fell internally, learning that he ended up following in
his mother’s footsteps, steps he believed to be taken out of rejection as
opposed to desperation. The young elf was thusly reformed, and lived a
different life upon leaving Oren’s cells.

What are they like (personality)?: - Aranor, is a curious, young, and unknowing wood elf. He has little
experience outside Ager and the Oren empire. Interest and apprehension would be
his typical reactions to the world around him.

What are their ambitions?: - Aranor desires a life outside of the slums. His goal of leading a life

both different and fulfilling motivates him to explore and learn where he could
make his mark.

Do they have any special skills?: - Aranor is a master of observation. Like a sponge, he will absorb the new

and strange around him interoperating its desire or splendor. Anything and
anyone alien will catch his eye, and he will study it at a distance quite thoroughly.

What are their weaknesses?: - Aranor is not yet a scholar, a fighter, or a silver tongued devil. His
early days will be quite hard on him.

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

 

Olive skin, green eyes, crimson
hair, dark thin clothing and scarf.

Anything else you want to say about them?: - 
 

His notoriety as a petty thief and his time in jail would make him recognizable to veteran
guards of Oran, a thing I would have to inform them if they confront me.

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

Fantastic, there you go. No need to write any more - simply post this on our
forums (and on MinecraftForum like it says above) and wait!

Although, you should note that you cannot commit any villainous acts without an accepted villain application, which you can't apply for until you've been on the server for at least a week. Villainous activity includes thievery.

 

As soon as a GM gets around to accepting you, you'll be able to log in as a full member. Have fun!
