Out-Of-Character:
-Minecraft Account Name: Zdrok
-How old are you?: 16
-Time-Zone/Country of Residence: Eastern Standard, USA.
-Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes, I scored 710 on the writing PSAT in 9th grade and am in AP English.
-Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am a junior in high school who loves computers and video games. I'm learning C++ and considering computer science as a career.
-How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Quite a lot (it'd be possible to spend about 5 hours a day) but if I play for more than about 4 hours at a time I start to get depressed.
-How long have you played Minecraft?: Since about last June. I played Classic for a while and bought it around when Notch was quitting his job.
-What do you know about Roleplaying? What is it?: I know a lot about RP; I played on a Gmod serious RP server for a while but left since most of the players were obsessed with deathmatching and just getting as much money as possible. Roleplaying is separating your out-of-character self from your in-character self, going beyond what is explicitly demanded by the game in order to create a realistic situation in-character, and not using meta-information like overhead names in character.
-What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect the large amount of players to allow for a total immersion in a universe where even small relationships and buildings matter. I expect the strict whitelisting process will only allow quality players in.
-What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I played on Epic Saga Online for a long time. I eventually lost interest as my region wasn't doing much and only had 2 other active citizens; the server later died out and I haven't played public SMP for a while.
-Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes.
-Name the 4 races on this server: Humans, Orcs, Elves, and Dwarves.

-Biography:
My parents raised me in an upper class house in Oren. My father was a chemist and my mother stayed home and cared for me. Whenever my father came home, he would teach me all about the world. He often taught me chemistry lessons from my job, took me out to practice hunting, and brought me down to the mines that he obtained some of his reagents from. He always had a strict work ethic and tried to keep his word. I think I inherited that from him; I can't stand to let people down or go back on what I've said.
Growing up, I made friends with a few other kids, but I was never a big extrovert. When we were about 12, me and my friends found a diamond sword that a traveling warrior had dropped. We went off in secret to practice fighting with each other and on animals. I recognized that while I was not extremely strong, I was daring with combat and held nothing back. One day, my friends and I got into a little fight with some other kids and I ended up slicing one of them up so badly that he had to stay in bed for a month. My parents were furious, but the situation calmed down and they realized that it was in self-defense.
As I grew older, I started to realize that while I had a wide variety of knowledge, I didn't really have a specialty. On my 17th birthday, I left my home with nothing but food, water, some minas, and a sword. I traveled in search of work and purpose. For a while, I lived off of hunted food and temporary shelter. I soon came upon the Cloud Temple and realized that I didn't have much of a plan worked out yet. It was then that I started to figure out my future.
