Sealyan Serinde

Cool, I was just being careful. And yes, I would like at least simple directions to Nalemtoff. A simple description of the city, maybe a screenshot or two would be helpful. To help with my job placement in the new city, I am giving a brief bio description. I... --am currently at the Laurelin mine gathering minerals. --am rather new to mining and building --am experienced with cooking, farming, and building bows --can wield a sword, but prefer a bow.

I wholeheartedly support people creating new towns and establishing themselves in Aegis. I would be honored to be a builder, farmer, or guard in the fledgling town of Nalemtoff. When can I contact you in-game (wouldn't want to be meta now, would we?) Also, where about will Nalemtoff be?

Wow, your bio is going to have to be longer than that to get accepted. And your skin link doesn't work. Good luck! You'll need it!

Hey zZiigy, Your old application (like a day or two ago) got approved. Looks like you won't be needing this one. Congrats! P.S. I am only stalking your account cause your character has the same name as mine and you show up in the search results. We Sealyans have to stick together.

Just a guess, but maybe its your grammar throughout your app. Also, your bio is kinda weird and doesn't really fit in with the lore of aegis in any way. You also didn't exactly explain what RP is to you and how well you will cooperate with the regulations of Rp'ing in the server. You should probably elaborate on the question "What do you know about Rp'ing, etc." Also, you should add specificity to you responses regarding your charater's past, future, and ambitions. Read the guides provided on the forums, the GM's really want you to show effort and want to see that you will benefit the community atmosphere with your addition.

He probably got angry right off the bat for your bad formatting and the fact that you didn't include the questions when you answered them. Also, you really didn't expand or elaborate on any of the questions. The GM's want to see what kind of person you are and will be. They want to see hat you will add something to the server. Now, the questions "Biography", "Ambitions", and "character description/personality" are the most important questions. You really need to flesh out your character and make it seem interesting. There are several application guides and example applications on this forum. Check them out!

Out of Character: Minecraft Name:blabbity10 How old are you?: 17 Time-Zone/Country of Residence: Pacific Time Zone/USA Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes, I have lived in the United States my entire life. I also have been in advanced Humanities and English classes throughout high school. Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am currently an undergrad at the University of Washington, (I entered a year early). I am sort of a jack-of-all-trades, liking outdoor activities like hiking and biking, as well as studying biology and chemistry. Video games do take a back seat to all that, but I still love playing Minecraft. How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Maybe somewhere around 5-10 Hours. I don't play too heavily and I have somewhat of a busy schedule most of the time. How long have you played Minecraft?: I have played Minecraft for a full year now, purchasing the game before it went into Beta. What do you know about role-playing? How long have you been doing it? What kind?: I admit that I am not very experienced with Role-Playing. I do know that staying in-character via dialogue and actions while normal game play is commencing is the most important aspect. I have played some MMO’s and am familiar with skills and leveling, as well as money exchanges, quests, and interacting with NPC’s and other players. I also recently read several role-playing guides on the forums, and have watched several videos of people (admittedly rather poorly) role-playing on the server. What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect the server to have authority that will maintain a good environment for playing in, as well as a nice (both logistically and aesthetically) server to play on. I expect that after this white-list process, the citizens with be well behaved, cooperative, and adhere to the rules of role-playing. What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I haven’t played on many servers. I did play on kfperin’s server. I left it because towns were constructed very quickly and having to build a new house in each new town became tedious and time-consuming. I also played on a server that one of my friends made, but because it ran on a not-so-great computer, gameplay on the server wasn’t smooth. Also, he wouldn’t keep track of whether the server was down or not, so we (my friends and I) frequently couldn’t even play on it. Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules? What about the lore?: Yes, I have read through, understood, and agreed to all the rules. I have read almost all of the standard lore (the history of aegis, etc.) and I am amazed at the effort that some of the writers put into this! Name the 4 races on this server: Orcs, Humans, Elves, and Dwarves. How did you hear about us?: I saw the trailer for the server on youtube.com (but not because of the yogscast). I then went to the Minecraftforum page regarding the server and read all about it. Then I found the forum. Did you vote?: Yes, I voted for at least two of the links. What was your favorite Law?: I believe that my favorite law was “No mindless spamming” because spamming is all too prevalent on otherwise nice servers. What was your least favorite Law?: I think that the only annoying law on the server would be the restrictions on what type of building you can build, and maybe the requirement of permits for mining and building. But its really not a problem, permits are pretty common on servers. What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name?: Sealyan Serinde In-Character: Character Name: Sealyan Serinde What is your Race?: Human Bowman Lordofthecraft.net/forum forum account: Sealyan Serinde Biography: As a boy, Sealyan was born to a Northern middle class family. His parents, allegedly, had friends across all of Aegis because of the nature of Sealyan's father's work in real-estate. This is the reason Sealyan's name is so eclectic, borrowing from elven and human names. Sealyan's parents were paranoid of attacks against their town and feared for the life of their only son. They decided to have Sealyan raised by a friend of theirs who lived very close to Al'Khazar, the capital of the Kingdom of Oren. However, Sealyan's schooling would be put on hold. When he was taken to the friend's house, they found him gone. The family friend had fled Oren due to his debts and for crimes against the state, a shock considering his social standing. After asking about, Sealyan's family determined that his wife was currently staying in Laurelin, the capital of the Elven Princedom. His family took him their and the wife agreed to keep Sealyan with her. It was at Laurelin that Sealyan was raised. It was by the elves he was taught combat with a bow, herbal medicines, as well as farming. Eventually, Sealyan could barely remember what his parents were like, let alone where they lived. Eventually the wife, his caretaker since childhood, died of old age. He was then transferred to the care of an innkeeper in the Kingdom of Oren. Sealyan had to take odd-jobs to make enough money to support, and it was here that he learned mining, and building. Sealyan showed promise when he showed considerable skill working at an clothing and armor shop. However, this life came to an end when business at the inn went badly. His guardian, the innkeeper, left Sealyan, saying he could not care for him any more with the inn sold to his debtors. Sealyan, feeling betrayed, now wanders Aegis as a poor vagrant, not even a wooden sword to his name. Where will he go? Perhaps back to Oren to make a living, perhaps to the elven lands from whence he was raised...? Character Age: 27 Character Appearance: Sealyan does not stand very tall at 5’10", and is not very stocky or strong. His legs are lean and swift, and his arms thin and slightly gangly. His tussled hair is near black, and only in the brightest sun can you see that it is actually brown. His tunic and pants consist entirely of hand-me-downs, and the little armor he took with him into the Wilds are battered and quite damaged. His eyes are a deep green, unusual considering his parents were both brown eyed. Character Personality: Sealyan is not loquacious, and converses with only those he needs to. He is not short of smarts or cunning however, and will not hesitate to speak his mind when it is to his benefit. He is loyal and caring, for those were the traits of his first true caretakers, the wife and the elves. Your ambitions: Sealyan did not have a sheltered life, and his ambitions reflect that. Sealyan seeks to protect those that come to him. He wanted to be an armorer, after seeing his proficiency at the clothing shop where he used to work. Sealyan also has a appreciation of the bow and arrow, after living with the elves. This leads him to want to learn from the elves how to become a professional bowyer, producing high-quality bows and arrows, and further the ancient traditions of bow-making. Maybe one day he could open an outfitting shop, equipping warriors and travelers for their adventures. Can your character read or write?: Yes. He was taught by the elves the tongues of men and elves. Can your character mine?: Yes, but not very proficiently. Are you a capable builder?: Yes. Sealyan did plenty of repair work on his guardian’s inn. He also took a construction job as one of his odd-jobs. Can you wield a sword?: Yes, but the bow is his preferred weapon. Enjoy Farming?: Sealyan has been farming with the elves since he was a boy. Does your character have any special skills?: Sealyan loves to cook and sew, but has kept these hobbies a secret when he was younger to prevent the other boys from making fun of him. These interests most likely arose because the lack of a father figure through most of his early life. A screenshot of your skin:http://minecraftskins.com/view/195385 Other Information: Nothing really.

I know the bio will probably be rejected, so I am reposting with a better Bio. Sorry.

What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name?: Sealyan Serinde In-Character: Character Name: Sealyan Serinde What is your Race?: Human Bowman Lordofthecraft.net/forum forum account: Sealyan Serinde Biography: As a boy, Sealyan was born to a high/middle class family. His parents, allegedly, were friends of the friends of a Viscount. However, tragedy struck when his family was travelling between towns. They were attacked and robbed, Sealyan’s parents were left dead, and he was under their overturned cart. By a stroke of luck, a nearby elf on his travels heard the ruckus and wanted to see what had happened. He found young Sealyan and returned with him to his home to give him to a caretaker. It was at Laurelin that Sealyan was raised. Not knowing what name his true parents gave him, he adopted an elfish name, though kept his human surname which the elves could infer from what was left of his parents’ belongings. It was by the elves he was taught combat, and farming. But time came for Sealyan to leave his elven home and rejoin the men. He was unwilling to leave, but the elven elders encouraged him to do so. He was then transferred to the care of an innkeeper in the Kingdom of Oren. Sealyan had to take odd-jobs to make enough money, and it was here that he learned mining, and building. He never saw the faces of those that killed his parents, but he (quite stupidly) assumed they were either dwarves or orcs. He holds antipathy for those races, though does not seek vengeance against those specifically that killed his parents, for it was against the elven teachings. Character Age: 27 Character Appearance: Sealyan does not stand very tall at 5’10", and is not very stocky or strong. His legs are lean and swift, and his arms thin and slightly gangly. His hair is near black, and only in the brightest sun can you see that it is actually brown. Character Personality: Sealyan is not loquacious, and converses with only those he needs to. He is not short of smarts or cunning however, and will not hesitate to speak his mind when it is to his benefit. He is loyal and caring, for those were the traits of his caretakers. As stated he does not like the dwarves or the orcs, and likes the elves the most. He holds a neutral attitude towards humans, liking there honor and valor, but disliking their greed in some cases. Your ambitions: To rid the world of robbers and vandals, and to establish safe havens for travelers. Also he seeks to combat the dwarfs and orcs and to contain their lust for war and plunder. In his elderly years he hopes he can open an inn on the fringes of the wastes and live there to his final days. Can your character read or write?: Yes. He was taught by the elves the tongues of men and elves. Can your character mine?: Yes, but not very proficiently. Are you a capable builder?: Yes. Sealyan did plenty of repair work on his guardian’s inn. Can you wield a sword?: Yes, but the bow is his preferred weapon. Enjoy Farming?: Sealyan has been farming with the elves since he was a boy. Does your character have any special skills?: Sealyan loves to cook, but has kept his hobby a secret to prevent his image as stolid bowman from being marred. He can also hit a pig from a hundred yards away with his bow. A screenshot of your skin: (Attached file) or http://minecraftskins.com/view/195385 Other Information: Don’t mention his parents in front of him. He doesn’t take too kindly to it.
