Out-Of-Character:
-Minecraft Account Name: Arcane_EMP
-How old are you?: 19
-Time-Zone/Country of Residence: GMT/UTC + 10:00 hour, Australia
-Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: As a native English speaker, and avid reader, I certainly like to believe that my grasp on the English language exceeds the norm. I do, however, have an unfortunate tendency to make small errors while typing in the heat of the moment.
-Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am an advanced placement student, and as such I am under severe pressure to perform well academically. I am what is considered a ‘geek’ by mainstream society, as I have few friends, and spend much of time playing video games to prevent school from driving me into insanity. My only other hobby is weightlifting.
-How much time could you be on the server weekly?: It really depends what time of year it is. During my ‘exam blocks’ I would be spending less than five hours each week, and during the less eventful parts of the year I could spend as much as ten hours a day, so fifty hours a week.
-How long have you played minecraft?: I have played minecraft since the alpha version was released.
-What do you know about roleplaying?: Well, I know that role-playing is putting yourself into the position, or ‘role’ of a character, , living as though you were that character, and seeing the world in such a way that you cease to be a boring human sitting in your bedroom, and become anything, from a mighty, rampaging Orc to a needy beggar.
-What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect the server to be an extremely engaging experience, one where a diverse player base work to create an epic story in the interactive world of minecraft.
-What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have played on perhaps five servers, all light role-play or hardcore PvP. Unfortunately, these servers were plagued with a variety of rather annoying problems, from admins that lost interest in the server, to players that constantly bent the rules in such a way that it limited the potential enjoyment the server offered.
-Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes, I have.
-Name the 4 races on this server: Orc, elf, human, dwarf are the four main races. From what I’ve read, there are two other playable races, the Ascended and the Undead, and two ‘elder’ races, the Aengul and the Daemon.
-How did you hear about us?: I came across this server while browsing the minecraft forums.
-What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name?: ArcaneEMP
In-Character:
-Character Name: Umug gro-Murug
-What is your Race?: Orc
-Biography: At an early age, Umug’s parents took him from the War Nation of Krugmar, and raised him deep within the western deserts, far from the relative safety of the clans. Umug’s father, Turag, was a mighty and cruel warrior, and slew bandits by the dozen as Umug grew to adulthood, while his mother, who excelled in the ways of strategy and negotiation, ensured that the greater bandit groups avoided the nomadic family at all costs.
When Umug reached the age of six, parents both began to teach him their respective crafts. Umug was strong, fast, and deceptively intelligent, and as such excelled in both the brutal ways of the warrior that his father sought to impart unto him, and the shamanistic crafts that his mother more gently trained him in.
They lived like this for the next decade, until his parents deemed him strong and wise enough to go his own way. Umug took with him nothing but the heirlooms of the Murug family, a small leather necklace, and an iron axe his father had taken from the corpse of one of the bandit kings foolish enough to attack them.
He travelled the world since that day, growing in strength and wisdom with every trouble he has had to overcome.
Once, while in a small roadside tavern, he heard rumors of a far off land, where mighty heroes and fearsome villains dwelt, where anyone could carve out a name for himself in the skulls of the undead, where glory, and power, and adventure were ripe for the plucking.
He set off for this distant land, for the world of Aegis, a land where he resolved to make a name for himself.
-Character Age:19
-Character Appearance: Tall, even by the standards of the gargantuan orcs, and heavily muscled. Umug is blessed with deep, blood red eyes. His hair is black and unkempt, his skin is dark green, and he commonly wears simple leather armor. His teeth are yellowed, with two protruding tusks on each side of his mouth.
-Character Personality: Umug has inherited both the best and worst traits of both his parents. He is cruel, brutal and callous towards those that oppose him, kind and humorous to those who he calls his friends. He is extremely confrontational, and as such has few friends- but he would die before harming one that he does call his friend.
-Your ambitions: Umug’s ambitions are all centered around one thing- glory. He will bring glory to his name at any cost, as he is determined to match his mighty ancestors before finding a life-mate and raising a child to continue his line.
-Can your character read or write?: Yes, Umug was taught to read and write by his mother.
-Can your character mine?: No
-Are you a capable builder?: Anything beyond simple huts is beyond him.
-Can you wield a sword?:Umug prefers his fists, or even an axe, but he will use a sword if need be.
-Enjoy Farming?: Umug would rather pull his teeth out with his bare hands than touch a hoe.
-Does your character have any special skills?: He is a skilled negotiator like his mother, and as such is talented at getting out of situations that his confrontational nature puts him in all too often.
