Trickofthedark

Minecraft account name: Trickofthedark Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?: No, Minecon sounds good but I thought it to be too risky to go to the very first one, I'm goign to let it settle down and get feedback first. How old are you?: 15 Time-zone/country of residence: UK Do you have a good grip on the English language/ good grammar: Of course. Small 2-3 sentence description of yourself: I go to school in the mornings, usually get homework done first so I can relax in the evenings/weekends. I have really been looking for a proper RP server and this looks like hopeful server. How much time could you be on the server weekly?: I have over 6 hours of free time a day. How long have you played Minecraft?: I got the game last summer in 2010. What do you know about roleplaying?: Roleplaying is when you play through the vision of your character's eyes, speaking the things they would say, improvising what to do in difficult situations, and of course, ignoring all out of character speech or just not understanding it, such as: "Is anyone gettin' MW3" "What is this 'Em 'doubleyou three you speak of?". What do you expect the server to be like?: Well, from the pictures and the VERY official looking website, I can expect a high quality roleplaying world where I will enjoy myself. What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: The first serious role playing server I actually took part in was 'The kingdoms' Server; the reason I left is because I figured there wasn't really much to do there and people didn't really seem to be role playing properly and I didn't really enjoy myself. Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes, even some of the roleplaying rules are in roleplay! Name the four races on the server: Elves, Humans, Orcs and Dwarves. I have heard about sub-races aswell. How did you hear about us?: I once glanced an eye over an advertisement of this on youtube and it sprung back up in my mind. What is your Lord of the Craft account name?: Trickofthedark In Character Character name: James Walls What is your race?: Human Biography: He had an unstable childhood, he never knew his parents and was raised by some poor farmers, he hated it there. The farmers already had a child and always excluded him without giving him the love and care he desperately needed. At an early age, he ran away from home wanting to be anywhere but there; There was a large problem in his decision, the farm was in the middle of nowhere and in such an isolated place he spent days in the woods barely survivng off berries and killing any small animals he could find. After days of scavenging and survivng against deadly animals he finally found civilization. It was a small village. Half-starved and seeing the biggest buildings he had ever seen (which weren't very big but compared to his old farm hut it seemed like it) he rushed into the town. After a few days of begging, the guards decided to shift him off the street. Just when they were about to grab him he punched one in the gut (after all those years in the farm while his step family did the quarter of the worl he did, he had built up into quite a masculine form) as the guard bent over in pain, he quickly grabbed his sword and pulled it out the scabard, of course a ragged madman with a sword would attract more attention. A couple more guards surrounded him and almost formed a semi circle around him and the wall. But this man was desperate to stay alive and whenever one of the guards made a move, he swung his sword at them quick and fast. "Alright, alright what's happening here?" A broad soldier who seemed to hold himself with some importance. "This hobo stole a guards sword and is now trying to attack us!" a guard shouted out. The soldier looked at James and eyed him up and down. James started to speak "Look sir, I don't want any troubl-" "Shut-up, I could take you down in an instance, but you have a good arm and I think with some trainging, you could end up being better than these louses" Inturrupted the soldier. After several years of being in the military, James was one of the Captain's best soldiers, he got good pay for civil protection, good soldier buddies and a decent lifestyle. Everything was great apart from the slight worry and buzz of a prediction of war, he also was on good terms with the woman who ran the market. Two months later was the day he was going to get married to her, all his friends would be there and it would be the best day of his life! Suddenly, war. It was all so rushed, and he and his squad was ordered to go east and fight, his fiance said she would wait for his return and would pray for him every day, they had their last goodbyes then he had to leave. On his first day of the war, he was scared, frigthened. He had never killed another human before, maybe wounded a thief in the town but never killed anyone. He spent every hour sitting at the camp fire wishing for the next order to invade enemy lines would come. The war went of for one year and four months, the enemy overpowered his squa and he barely escaped with his life, to fatal wounds were dealt onto his face, two scars on his right cheek. He ran, he knew that enemy squad must be heading towards the town now, he lost his friends and his mentors and he could not afford to lose his soon-to-be-wife, the onyl thing left in his world. After days and days of painful, horrible travelling, he stumbled over the last hill only to reveal his town, with burnt building, shattered glass, fire and blood. He was too late, the town had been destroyed. "No.." He ran into the town, ignoring his deadly hunger and his lungs begging for air. "No.." He turned the half familiar corner to his fiance's house. "No!" He break through the blackened, splintered wood, ran up the stairs. "NOOO!!!" There was his wife, dead, throat slit. James then stumbled into a half dead life, days merged together and would think of that very thought every day. He couldn't even avenge her, the war was won, done. All he could do now is sit, and wait for the end.

Has a hard face with a short, rough beard, two scars are clearly visible on his cheek as hair cannot grow on the scars.
