Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?: No
How old are you?: 45 (yes, an old fart :rolleyes: )
Time-Zone/Country of Residence: I am GMT -3.5 Hours. I live in Newfoundland, Canada
Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes, it is my only language. Well, except for the occasional outburst in Orc Black speech.
Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am a well-rounded individual (oh, you meant more than just my physique)? I have been an active gamer for all of my life ever since I first played Pong back in the 70's. I am a family man with a wife and daughter and enjoy gaming, movies and reading (currently reading the Game of Thrones series).
How much time could you be on the server weekly?: I would say 10-15 hours at a minimum.
What do you know about Roleplaying? What is it?: Roleplaying, to me, is a form of acting. I am continuously developing and playing the part of a character. In game, all actions, deeds and speech are those of the character and not myself, the player.
In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. Meta-gaming is using player-based knowledge to influence and impact the character and how it is played in the game world. If it is knowledge that the character would not be expected to have gained via the course of the game, then don't use it.
Powergaming is focusing on maxing out the character's stats, skills, gear with little consideration for the game environment, other people's experience and enjoying the world around you. It's about the goal and not the journey.
What do you expect this server will be like?: I am expecting this server to be a mature role-playing server. By mature, I mean well-established with a focus on really playing a character and being able to immerse yourself in the game world.
What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have not played on any other RP minecraft servers but do play on some other servers that I have come to know from friends.
Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: I have indeed.
How did you hear about us?: I am a member of a guild that has a strong history of RPing in games, particularly as Orcs - Shadowclan. Two of the members there spoke about this community and it interested me so I checked it out and decided to submit an application.
Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you? I have not. I am new to this Minecraft community and was not aware of LOTC or Minestatus before my Shadowclan guildies mentioned LOTC.
What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name?: Grazzak
In-Character:
Character Name: Grazzak
What is your Race?: Orc - dere be nub uddir race dat is as hosh as Urks! Hoowah Urks!
Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):
Grazzak is an Orc that has managed to survive a lifetime of fighting. Raised in a fierce clan, he has fought for everything he has ever gained.
Scars cover his body and his large, muscular bulk is a sight to behold and fear. Even now, in his middle years, he shows no slowdown of the hunger he has for Orc supremacy though you would not know that from his quiet demeanor. He is, and always will be, a warrior at heart!
But he knows war is not just about muscle and sword. Grazzak knows that his brain is a powerful weapon as well. He has always had a keen interest in the things that the builders make and he wants to develop his building skills so he can make the Orcs stronger and more victorious!
Grazzak is not without a sense of humour though. He is not particularly vocal but when he does speak, he likes to show his dry wit on occasion.
Finally, Grazzak is loyal to a fault. If you asked him to make a choice between jumping off a cliff or betraying his clan, he would jump off a cliff. But first he would throw you off to break his fall for even asking such a thing. Did I mention his sense of humour? :wink:
Your characters ambitions:
Grazzak has a fondness for building. Not the tiny, weak, pathetic excuses for buildings and things that the other races build, but good, strong solid buildings and war devices.
He has a grudging respect for the skills of the tiny Gazats but thinks he can do better than anything that has a beard longer than it's body.
Grazzak plans to one day become a master builder and use his knowledge to build things that will make the Orc nation triumph over all others! Hoowah!
Out in the Wilds, your character comes across a small cottage. Outside, there appears to be an elf struggling combat with two bandits. What does your character do? If the bandits are fellow Orcs, then I would assist them...unless they are members of a rival clan then I might just help the elf out. Either way, I would laugh at the Elf for living by itself in the Wilds. "Har, silly Albai!"
Your character walks up to a shop in the middle of Al'Khazar. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer? "Ug lat pinki. Lat kin pay tribute to me so dat me nub klomp lat flat! Har, yub, dat is wut lat kin do!"
