How did you find out about Lord of the Craft?: Originally YouTube. But after a long break I have decided I would like to come back, however I am forced to reapply due to my old MC account getting hacked and me losing all access to it.
Link(s) to past Whitelist Applications (If applicable):
Have you logged into the server yet? (You cannot be whitelisted without logging in at least once): Yes, and it was then I realised I would need to reapply as I had forgotten it was a different account I am playing on.
Definitions
What is Roleplaying?: Roleplaying is to act and take on the persona of a character you have created. While roleplaying all real life events are forgotten and you solely act and play as your character, meaning you speak and act as he would.
What is Metagaming?: Metagaming is using information you have acquired outside the game in order to give yourself an advantage in game. For Example, if you were told OOC where someones secret treasure stash was and you ran to it IG stealing all the loot, you would be using information acquired while not in character, giving yourself an advantage over everyone else looking for the same treasure.
What is Power-Emoting (Powergaming)?: Powergaming, is when you are playing and make your character faultless essentially. It provides unfair encounters with other players and makes for bad RP. For example in a fight with another RRer Powergaming could be the act of one player killing the other with one swift blow without the other having a chance to defend.

"Strom, now theres a name you'll remember." This is the first thing Strom heard from his father after smithing his first blade. Born in the great halls of Urguan to his mother, a simple woman, she cared not for much but the happiness and well being of her family. His father, a blacksmith. One wouldn't say that his fathers work was well known among the dwarves of Urguan, however his small but constant stream of customers meant that had just enough to get by.
This was until Strom was born. Like most dwarves, Strom was brought into this world and immediately gravitated to mining, it was here Strom first became interested in gemstones and ores. However it wasn't until he entered his fathers forge he realised he wanted to be a bladesmith, one that would be so well known among the dwarves he'd have to have a forge as big as Urguan to keep the axes sharp and the hammers strong. Tirelessly Strom worked the forge with his father, try to master the trade, perfecting each blade he made, but there was more he needed to do, he knew if he wanted to be known by all his work had become even better. So he began to brainstorm, figure ways he could create the perfect weapon, until one day he had an idea..
Strom grabbed his pick and in a steadfastly manner walked towards the mines. Down there for hours, he was crushing rocks and gathering Ore, becoming engulfed by greed. Strom's father, growing worried, went into the mines to find him, following the trails of lanterns left along the way, the remnants of broken rock and Ore on the hard cold ground. He knew he was close to his son, he just couldn't find him, until he turned a corned and went deep into the mine, he could just see a small amount of light eminating from the corner and a small dwarf sitting there with his pick next to him, collapsed from Exhaustion. Stroms father rushed over to give him a sip of water, Strom acknowledged his father and muttered the word "Sorry" and lost consciousness again.
The walls began to tremble and the fall vibrate, the mine was beginning to collapse. In a panick Stroms father picked Strom up, putting on arm around his shoulder and began making his way out of the mine as quickly as he was able. Getting higher and higher up the mine, Strom's father could see the end "Not much further teh go laddy" he muttered as he dragged his fatigued son through the mine, getting closer and closer, they could see the light, however things took a turn for the worse! The mine began collapsing at an alarming rate, a huge boulder came crashing down ripping Strom's Father away. Strom fell to the ground again regaining his consciousness, he turns back to see his father trapped by a rock, and with his last breath he told Strom "Run, take care of ye mother". Thats when a barrage of rocks and rubble fell ontop of his father. Strom crawled his way to the top and yelled out for help. Several dwarves ran over to help. They began hauling the rubble from Stroms fathers lifeless corpse, but it was too late. Strom's need for power and greed had gotten his father killed. Left disgraced by his actions, Strom turned the fires off in the furnaces, threw away his mining gear and never forged again.
At least that was the plan, until now...
Personality Traits: (what are your character's quirks?; habits?; likes and dislikes?) From the tragedy in earlier life its made Strom a very cautious and quite Dwarf. He likes to sit in the Tavern drinking Ale and keeping himself to himself. However he knows he needs someone to help him recover who he once was, before he was overcome with greed.
Ambitions: (what does your character aspire to be?) Strom is hopeful that one day he will reopen a forge in his fathers honour. He doesn't want to be known by dwarves all across the lands like he did once before, now all he cares for is the hope of smithing blades and becoming a respected Dwarf like his father.
Strengths/Talents: (what is your character really, really good at?) Like mentioned previously, as well as being a keen Miner, Strom was a fantastic Blacksmith, but due to the sudden death of his father that has had a huge impact on his capabilities and skill, however with persistence Strom knows he can get back to smithing fine tools and weapons a like.
Weaknesses/Inabilities: (what is a skill that your character needs to work on?) The death of his father caused him to become a bit of a recluse. Sitting in the tavern all day long on his own, drinking away, Strom has became uneasy and unapproachable. This means that he finds it hard to trust people and which can often lead to confrontations and make him appear to be angry, when in fact he is just sad and lonely due to his own demons battling inside his head.
Appearance: (what does your character look like?; how tall are they?; hair color?; scars?) Strom is a bald dwarf standing around 4ft 2 inches. He has a brown beard and is of a stocky build. He has scars over his body from working the forge and mines yet his face sits unscathed.
Skin: (please provide us a screenshot of your character’s skin; if you need help, see our screenshot guide here.)
