Ratty

MOTHER OF GOD. 10/10

Oh my goodness, this is just fantastic. ~gasps~ Kitties! I must cuddle them all-- Hehehe. On a serious note, I am definitely excited to see this new race in Asulon. And interested, for sure. ^_^ <3

Directions: 4:00pm EST!

A parchment with extravagant detailing appears posted upon several notice boards near the outskirts of Laurelin, around the location of the infamous Treetop Inn, especially. It reads: There are very few copies of such a parchment- only the lucky traveler shall be able to stumble across it as they near the inn. (<3 I'll get more details up soon.)

I love this community, I love all you GMs, Admins, FMs, just all of you. Thank you for saving us and providing us with such an amazing sever. I honestly have no words, this is quite a shock- I've never known the Wizard all too much. Thank you all. <3

Brief Character History: Born in raised in the older part of Laurelin, Rattalyn grew up as an only child to a couple of Wood Elves. Her childhood was fairly normal for an elven child, but the young girl had several unique features which caused unwanted attention produced upon her. Rattalyn was a very petite elf; her height was below average, especially for a female elf. She had a rarity of red hair for the Wood Elf race, she grew up with nicknames descending from such features. She never was capable of socializing efficently as a child; only being able to pretend to become friends with Nature's children. Rattalyn eventually learned a bit of archery from her father, also aquiring skill of reading and writing from her mother's scholarly studies and librarian career. As she aged, the wild nature inside of her was screaming to go out and experience the world of Aegis as she read in stories and other news. Her parents allowed her to leave-- and so, Rattalyn set off into the dangerous world of Aegis as a naive elven female. (OH NO.) She's experienced her fair share of troubles, which she assumes always tends to find her. Rattalyn is unable to fend for herself, yet she continues with her curious nature. Curiousity killed the Rat, now, it seems. She's trying to find her purpose by traveling, socializing, and investigating. ((More detailed in first application to the server.)) Character Name (I.C.): Rattalyn Character name (O.C.): Rattalyn How much time do you spend on the server?: More than I need to; few hours daily. May have to change as school come before leisure time. Race: Elf IC Age: 104 - Supposedly young adult. Will you be a FOA soldier, or a preacher?(Preachers are allowed to fight, but not their main focus): Preacher, more of. Goals in the FOA?: To maintain balance within the realm- prevent corruption from spreading through the people's hearts and sustain hope for Aegis. Good deeds you have done?: Attempted to preach out the word against violence, question the one's of corruption and try to lead them to the path of light. I am always trying to pacify everyone, instead of violence- to talk it out. Have you done any bad deeds?: Vengence is easy to take a hold of a heart- including my own. I have faced moments of corruption myself and let them take over, but I have never injured one with my own hands. How did you hear of us?: Mostly from some acquantances of mine- even to the point of going to the base for a friend in need there. Are you against the Undead? Please explain why.: I am against the undead due to their hearts being the true evil plague undead. These beings of impeneratrble darkness are in need of the light more than any other. I do not condone any beheavior as morbid as the undead's. What is your primary weapon in battle? (Sword, Axe, or Bow. Please state which one and your skill level please. Please refer to the rank list for appropriate weapon skill level.): My weaporny skills are very average and basic-- I have skill with the bow, but it doesn't help to have a lack of arrows. Are you a capable builder?: My skill is far unexperienced in construction, but I can easily help out certain projects if shown directions. Can you wield any other weapons?: Not especially, no. Any special skills?: I am merely an average elven woman- my skills are basic as they are. I have the drive to persist at any assigned job. Do you have faith in the Aeriel and will you tell of this to others? Please explain why.: Of course my faith rests upon Aeriel; the purity and stability of heart and soul. She has protected many of the world with her brave and holy appearances- how admirable and strong a woman she is to fend against Iblees and Undead. It is important to place your faith into the light- for it introduces a kind of tranquility upon the soul. Explain how you will help to serve the FOA, and through us, the Ascended and Aeriel: I wish to be of use to the FoA in any way that I can be- even simple tasks would be satisfactory. My aspirations are mighty high, but perhaps becoming a Priestess is possible in the future. P.S.: Was recruited by Safen (X01).

PONIES!!!!!! <3 I want to cuddle them all.

Very awesome. Too bad I sound like a fourteen year old girl. :P Exciting to listen to everyone else though!

Out-Of-Character: -Minecraft Account Name: Rattalyn -How old are you?: 17 years of age -Time-Zone/Country of Residence: MST (GMT – 7) / United States of America -Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I am fairly confident in my language and grammar abilities, but I still make mistakes every now and then. -Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am an over-achieving high school student with creative abilities such as drawing, graphic design, creative writing, and general imagination for all magical aspects! Usually, I tend to be slow writing with creative excerpts; it takes me some time to formulate paragraphs of creativity which are of decent quality. My hobbies include computer games, social messaging, roleplaying, and of course sleeping. -How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Depending on my school workload, I'm usually capable of being on at least 45 minutes to an hour each weekday, but on weekends or school breaks my schedule is definitely more open. At times, I will have sudden plans made and might not be able to log in. -How long have you played minecraft?: I've been playing minecraft on and off since late April of 2011. -What do you know about roleplaying? How long have you been doing it? What kind?: Roleplaying is a highly creative activity similar to storytelling. In roleplay, a person assumes a role of a character and describes a variety of their actions, thoughts, and history. There are several different classifications of roleplay such as original which involves an original setting, lore, characters, and such which is primarily what LOTC is. Such roleplay is common among the internet, especially in forums, normally with IC and OOC guidelines. I have been roleplaying since I was 12 years old, but it was very basic and I was pretty amateur at the time. I've tried various roleplays such as one involving the control of an avatar as the character, forum, text adventures, and even messenger. -What do you expect this server will be like?: In my opinion, the server seems like it would be filled with well-crafted environments expanding acorss the world with rich histories and many players controlling various characters with variety in personalities. Also, it appears to be quite overwhelming with all the available possibilities to take part in. -What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I do not normally play on multiplayer servers, though I recently tried one which I shall not name recently. It was an RPG server with classes and skills, I assumed there would be some roleplay, yet there was hardly any at all. I kept getting killed constantly and my belongings looted, so I left it not long after joining. -Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules? What about the lore?: I have read over the rules, completely understand and agree with them, including the lore of the roleplay. -Name the 4 races on this server. The available races are the elves, dwarves, humans, and orcs. -How did you hear about us?: Lurking through the Survival Minecraft Servers forum! -Did you vote?: Yes, I did! All three of them. -What was your favourite Law?: My favorite law would have to be ‘You must keep in character’ because it means constant roleplay throughout the server. You can always jump in and escape reality without having a lapse due to OOC conversation. -What was your least favourite Law?: My least favorite law is ‘You must have a forum account to continue playing on the server’ because we already had to make a minecraft forum account, it seems a tad tedious to sign up for another forum and have to post applications there, but I can understand the necessity due to the organization of a different forum compared to the minecraft one. It makes sense. -What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name? Rattalyn In-Character: -Character Name: Rattalyn N. Serodin -What is your Race?: Elf -Lordofthecraft.net/forum forum account: Basically, Rattalyn on all of them. -Biography: Rattalyn was born into the elven nation of Malinor, there she grew upon the vast treetops of the capital city Laurelin. Both of Rattalyn's parents were common elven citizens of Laurelin, whom were happily content with their ordinary, yet cozy cottage home. They were respectable citizens with their residence in Laurelin, her mother was employed as a librarian of the local book-keeping establishment, and her father was an upright elven guardsman in charge of keeping the boundaries of Laurelin well-protected. Her parents were desperate to expand the family; years passed without any presence of a child, until one special year they were able to conceive their daughter at last! When Rattalyn was first born, she had qualities which did not represent elven features; she was a petite baby, with large pointed ears. When her hair grew, it was naturally a chestnut hue. It was only the color of her iris which was the most present elven feature; blue hues represented the daylight sky with clouds mixing with the blue tints, they were of shiny, blue marbles which sparkled. Little Rattalyn’s childhood was quite average for any elven child living in Laurelin, but due to her unique physical attributes, she attracted more attention than usual. She continued to be a puny child and throughout her young age began to be known as ‘Little Dwarf’ for a nickname among the city. Rattalyn obtained her education from her mother’s vast knowledge and scholarly teachings; she learned the history of her race, her city, her linage, and even the ancient creation of the world she was a part of. She did not have many friends of her age, but she was still quite a social and curious little child, she told wondrous myths of her own creation and played games with them, more as a big sister than anything. She looked up to all the older elven children and silently respected them, as they were normally occupied with work. On most days, Rattalyn tended to the gardens and played with the trees of the city; she regarded Nature’s creations more as friends than the elven children. As more years passed and little Rattalyn began growing toward young adult-hood as an elf, her father thought she was of age to learn the basics of wielding and using the bow and arrow; his proficiency. It took extensive practicing for the elven girl to gain some ability to use the bow, and in the end she successfully managed. Rattalyn never grew out of her short height and her locks of hair retained the natural chestnut hue, she was one of the smallest elves of the city in her generation. Her affinity for nature grew; she befriended the local creatures of the land and farms, caring for them well. At times, she snuck out from the house and to the tree branches and climbed, swung, and slept among them much to her parent’s dismay. Rattalyn desired to explore the world of Aegis far from the city she knew like the back of her hand, she even expressed this yearning to her parents whom agreed to let her go out into the world on her own. -Character Age: Young Adult – 104 years of age. -Character Appearance: Rattalyn is a petite elven female with a height of about 5”4 and a weight of 102 lbs.; she carries herself very well, with quick movement and flexibility. Her complexion is quite fair, yet she has a few freckles dispersed over her skin. Her eyes are wide and almond, with the iris tinted similar to sparkling, blue marbles. Chestnut-colored locks of silky hair frame her face, falling down over her shoulders; she maintains her hair very well, sometimes even putting it in a braid for convenience. -Character Personality: Rattalyn is full of a boundless thirst of knowledge, she is a very curious character and it is often her own downfall. She has been brought up with manners and friendliness, yet she has her own faults of being greedy and refusing to share; as an only child, she never was forced to share. She has a tendency to pause before forming a response, or else she does not think before she acts. Rattalyn is full of potential and will not back down to her fears, she will fight for her beliefs in right or wrong; she is a strong elven woman and will get back up when pushed down. -Your ambitions: Rattalyn wants to explore the world of Aegis! She wants to witness the real versions of the stories and books she has read and been told of about the races, places, and so much more! She is inspired to protect the forests, represent the elves, and make some allies and friends in the adventure she’s beginning. -Can your character read or write?: Rattalyn is capable of reading and writing the common language of all the races, which I presume is English, yes. -Can your character mine?: Rattalyn has limited experience of mining, but she has read of miners and manuals pertaining to the occupation. -Are you a capable builder? Rattalyn is very inexperienced in building, but she will attempt any challenge which comes her way. She has built miniature structures and statues out of mud before, if it counts! -Can you wield a sword?: Rattalyn does not have any experience wielding a sword as she is far more proficient with bow weapons and farming tools. -Enjoy Farming?: Rattalyn is happy to farm and produce more greenery to improve the environment and nature. She would especially love tending to gardens, animal farms, and tree farms. -Does your character have any special skills?:] Rattalyn isn’t exactly magical, but she has average abilities such as archery, weaving, sewing, and painting. Also, all the other skills mentioned before. -A screenshot of your skin: http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/6113/rattalyn.png -Other Information: Rattalyn’s name was created by her mother in reference to her small appearance and brown/red hair like a rodent or rat, they do not view rats as vermin after all. It would be a first time on a minecraft roleplay server with hundreds of people, so please excuse me if I have problems with lag or connection. I am also not the speediest roleplayer, as I have to process and create responses within a reasonable time period to respond! I am easily intimidated; this is a huge step for me, so please forgive me for being a little overwhelmed! It’s very exciting, as well.
