-What do you know about roleplaying? How long have you been doing it? What kind?:
Well, let me start out by saying that I've been RPing since Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy came out in May of 2003. I used to play on multiplayer RP servers which are similar to the concept here. Since then, I've expanded my career to forum text RP games such as The Dark Forest and NationStates (http://www.nationstates.net). The most famous and wildly successful section of my career came from the latter, on an independent forum called Renatia with the name Azurbajan. (http://s1.zetaboards.com/renatia/index/) Go ahead and search my name there, You'll find much of my work (And a few flattering things some people have said about me.) Unfortunately, and most upsetting, the forum is closed now due to widespread inactivity.
-What do you expect this server will be like?: Well, I expect it will be a tight knit group of RPers who know eachother relatively well depending on time spent here. I also expect that there will be those with patience enough to coach those who require it, and those who do not. All in all, from the detail level on the site alone and the extensive application process, I believe it will be a fantastic place to play. Also, it'll be another chance for me to prove myself in another realm. I'm quite excited to do so!
-What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?:
On Minecraft Classic I played mostly on World of Minecraft, where my realm was voted #210 (Out of 1,000+).
I have never RP'd on Minecraft Beta before. Most of the time I play is Single player, with some light Multiplayer PvP for good measure.

From Minecraft? I'd hope not! I havn't been playing for very long! But I was banned just once back in Jedi Academy a long time ago for multikilling an Admin. Go figure.
-Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules? What about the lore?: Yes I have. I like the detail and attention paid to this server, including the construction of such document as the lore. I think I'll enjoy my time here. By the way, paragraph 1, line 3 of the Ancient History; "Hersey" is spelled wrong. ;)

In-Character:
-Character Name: Angelo Dimarco
-Lordofthecraft.com/forum forum account: LordAjax
-Race: Human
-Biography: Angelo, of the Dimarco family, was born in the home of Angellus and Gaia Dimarco. Angelo was born second only to his sister Saya. The Dimarco family lived within the Human sanctuary of Oren, enjoying their lives and the friends they had made.
His father, Angellus, was a hunter who loved the green earth enough to rival that of the Elves. Angelo's mother, Gaia, came from noble stock, but she left that life behind when she met Angellus in her youth. together, the two of them built a home and filled it with the love of their family.
Saya, born 4 years before Angelo, spent her young life playing with the neighborhood children and enjoying the company of her parents. When she grew older, her mother Gaia had taught her responsibilities of the home and how to garden and influence the land to produce nature's bounties.
Angelo was born second, but as the first born son. When he came of age, his father Angellus would take him on his hunting expeditions into the woods, where he would teach young Angelo how to read the land and how to use a bow. As a test of his manhood, at age Thirteen, Angelo had crafted his own bow and hunted his first wild pig. Angelo, as taught by his father, showed respect to nature and only hunted when absolutely necessary, and never to excess. Also, he made sure to use every part of his kill.
Apart from hunting, Angelo was a social boy in his youth, and made many friends. His closest friend of childhood was named Tylar Ronoke. Tylar's father was a master swordsman, and taught his son much about how to defend himself and how to wield a sword. Together, He and Angelo would spend much time dueling with wooden weapons to train their skill throughout their youth. When the boys came of age, they moved on to iron weapons, and in return Angelo taught Tylar the ways of the hunter, including use of a bow.
The boys traversed the countryside of Oren, becoming familiar with its layout. Home, as it was, was beautiful enough. There were sights to see and new trails to blaze, and the two had tested their skill time and time again against the dangers of the realm. With each test, they became stronger and more aptly minded to face the challenges that lay ahead.
At age 21, the two young men would go on adventures together throughout the lands to learn about life beyond. It was in this stage of life that Angelo, with the good influence of his father and friends, had experienced the potential malice and danger of the world in which he lived.
The Young Men adventured around Oren and into the sprawling landscape before them. First, Angelo and his long time friend found themselves in the mountains of Kal-Alras, where they learned how to negotiate the terrain. Next, they followed the road out to Kal-Roc, where a few bandits had to be dealt with. Angelo understood that sometimes greed gets a hold of a man to drive him to steal. He also understood that multiple paths could lead to the same outcome. The bandits they fought could have been greedy folks who prayed upon the wealth of others, or desperate beggars looking to crime just to live another day.
Throughout his journey, Angelo had pondered the relationship and delicate balance of good and evil and the paths that could lead someone to a side. Greed, lust, anger, jealousy, hatred, ignorant disdain of other races and life forms; These were the paths to a life of hate and suffering. All the while, a life of purity could be attained by compassion, right action, and neutrality. Angelo even found that love and attachment could lead to jealousy. But love was supposed to be a good thing. How could it be so bad to love someone? Also, what of point of view? Are Good and Evil really so obvious? Would giving a poor old beggar a blanket really be as far from an act of charity as ending the man's miserable life? He began to wonder if he was a pure spirit or a man destined for evil. Confused, Angelo decided to head for the monks of the Cloud temple of Aegis.
Knowing that the topic of God was a tough subject to ask questions about, Angelo chose his words wisely. He asked about the relationship of emotions and the effects they had on state of being. The wise monk had taught him of the laws of God, and that if he believed in his heart that his actions were for good, then they were. Angelo thought this advice was a bit lacking, but didn't want to press the matter. Tyler meanwhile had paid attention to these words and heeded them almost as divine mandate, as they were spoken by a man of the cloth.
As he left the temple, Angelo began to question the laws of the clerics. How could they brand someone a heretic? What gave them that right? Because they chose a life as a monk? They themselves are not gods, yet they are the ones who write the holy laws? Who determine hoe we should live our lives? Their intentions are notably pure, but speech and thought should not, at least in Angelo's eyes, be the subject of any man's regulation but their holder, as one may regulate his own property. It was here that Angelo started down a path that the holy ones would call Heresy.
In his mind, Angelo saw an order; A collection of people of all races with a desire to respect nature and maintain peace and justice throughout the lands by mediating conflicts. Often, he spoke of this with his closest friend Tylar, who thought in his mind only of the glory and fame such a title would bring him.
While traveling, Angelo had become acquainted with a woman named Emilia. She was a beautiful blonde with the looks of a goddess, and green eyes that shined like Emeralds. Angelo and Emilia began to see eachother. Tylar watched with envious eyes as Angelo courted the beautiful girl. He coveted her, and wanted her for himself. Soon, he couldn't contain his jealousy and began to tell Emilia lies about Angelo, saying that he was a horrible thief and murderer. Shocked by Tylar's words, Emilia confronted Angelo about the claims.
When Angelo was able to convince her these words were false, Tylar's rage grew. He couldn't bring himself to harm his closest friend, so he decided that if he couldn't have Emilia, no one could. He picked a few poisonous mushrooms and ground them up, then soaked them in tea. He gave the poisoned drink to Emilia and she became ill. Angelo, being an adept woodsman, identified the cause of her death as poison. Tylar decided to confront Angelo and confess his crime. He told Angelo of his jealousy, and his desire for the woman who he couldn't have. Angelo reacted by leaving Tylar alone and he headed back home to Oren to grieve for his fallen love.
Angelo had seen the answer to one of his questions; Love could indeed have negatives. He felt strong anger toward Tylar, but refused to give in to his desire for revenge. As hard as it was to get past her loss, Angelo decided to be the better man. He saw Tylar as a man who should be pitied, rather than exterminated. His ways were those of darkness, while Angelo shined bright as a beacon of goodness.
Now, Angelo has decided to start his order. This is where his quest for peace begins.
