I like to think I do. :)

I'm wacky, occasionally funny, have the ability of a broken toaster when it comes to creative writing and dedicated. I'm also a huge fan of RP of any kind.
-How much time could you be on the server weekly?:

Since October last year.
-What do you know about roleplaying? How long have you been doing it? What kind?:
My definition of roleplaying is acting out a character that is not you, sort of like improvised acting. I've been doing it for about four years now - in forums, in World of Warcraft, in Guild Wars and other online games. (Usually in medieval settings.)
-What do you expect this server will be like?:
I expect it to be wonderful. I've been looking for a good Minecraft RP servers for ages and this seems like the one.

I've played on Tanelorn RP PvP and various other minor servers run by my friends. I left Tanelorn because there was little to none structured lore around the server and factions.

I have.

Elf, orc, dwarf, human.

Malythil Greensun.

Elf. (Subrace: Wood elf.)
-Lordofthecraft.net/forum forum account:
Malythil.
-Biography:
Born to a pair of wood elf druids late in their lives, an only child, the most notable thing about Malythil was his raven black hair and it was not often a wood elf was born a brunette.
He was raised like any other in Laurelin. He was a smart and quiet child - but in time, a lust for power grew within him that could not be quenched. There was no tragedy, no death and no pain in his childhood; for the most part he was spoilt - until he was forced to leave the home. Without his parents, he experienced the perilous world for himself - and he was unable to conquer it. Barely able to survive, he vowed one thing. One day, he would succeed. The world would all bow down to him - and he would do whatever possible to make that so. He thirsts for knowledge and power.
-Character Age:
If he was a human, around thirty. I don't really know elf age conventions on this server - if I'm just being plain ignorant, tell me!
-Character Appearance:
He's tall and thin, generally wears a traditional green and gold robe and has long black hair. Often has an expression of disdain on his face.
-Character Personality:
He is manipulative, independant, intelligent, ruthless, determined and logical. Somewhat cold, but not to the degree of evil.
-Your ambitions:
To someday be elected into the elven high council and perhaps even...the high prince.
-Can your character read or write?:
He can do both these very well.
-Can your character mine?:
No, digging is not exactly his cup of tea.
-Are you a capable builder?
Yes.
-Can you wield a sword?:
Yes.
-Enjoy Farming?:
No.
-Does your character have any special skills?:]
He's good with a bow, incredibly manipulative and good at lying. (He would make a good politician!). I was hoping for him to be some sort of wizard/druid if that would be possible. If not, well, that's okay! :D

I can't take credit for this, it's an -amazing- skin I found on the LotC skin page which I recolored to make it have black hair.
-Other Information:
I've shown it all, I think! :D
