Out-Of-Character:
Minecraft Account Name: Syunistan
Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?: I did not attend Minecon.
How old are you?: 17
Time-Zone/Country of Residence: I live in the U.S. and am under the central time zone.
Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes I do believe so.
Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I have not role-played in years, but I am willing to start again. I really love things that are fantasy related even though I'm fairly new to the genre. For example, I love A Song of Ice and Fire and the show Game of Thrones, but I have not seen what some people consider "essential" movies such as Lord of the Rings.
How much time could you be on the server weekly?: I'd definitely be on Saturdays and Fridays. I think that I will try to be on as much as I can since this game will be something that will take away my daily worries.
What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.: I used to role-play with a friend and on some forums. The role-play I did with my friend wasn't serious at all, but once I joined a roleplaying forum I started to role-play seriously. It was an interesting learning experience. Roleplaying is a way that people can lose themselves in another world. It's like an interactive book that you are helping create. All people in the community are connected in the sense that all that we want is to have fun in a mature way.
In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. These are two things that are against the rules and are not fair for others. Metagaming is when you use knowledge that your character does not know in order to affect the storyline. Powergaming is basically God moding. With this people give themselves an advantage over others in an unfair manner. For example, you don't give other people a chance to reply to whatever attack you have made or you start making your character kind of like the stereotypical "Mary Sue". With Minecraft RP, since it isn't so text based, I'm guessing that Powergaming would be using mods or hacks to give yourself an advantage over others.
What do you expect this server will be like?: Friendly, and fun of course. I've heard great things about it and I'm excited to be a part of it.
What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I don't really remember the name of the last one I played in, but I haven't gotten on because I had a good friend whom I would adventure with but he kind of lost interest in Minecraft. Now that we had a fallout in our friendship I don't think I'll be going into that server again until we become friends again. ANYWAY enough about my drama.
Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes I have.
How did you hear about us?: A friend of mine joined your server a few days ago and has been raving about it. She got me really interested in it and I decided to check it out. After we both talked more about it I fell in love with this server.
Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you? Um no I haven't. I didn't even know Minestatus existed.
What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name?: Syunistan
In-Character:
Character Name: Mikael
What is your Race?: Human
Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):
Mikael has led a rough life up to now. He was born in a brothel and cared for by the women around him. He never knew who his father was of course. When he started to grow as a child the owner of the brothel noticed that he was growing to be a beautiful boy. He has the long blonde hair of his mother and a face with soft features. He is very slim and lithe with creamy skin. It was rumored that his father could have been an elf. Eventually costumers even started to ask about him and what his price was. By the time he was eleven Mikael could already be bought for thirty minutes at a certain price. Mikael's personality is one that is usually flirty. He acts confident and charismatic to strangers. People are naturally drawn to him. Mikael does have his moments of shyness and can be sort of a scaredy cat. Having just escaped from the brothel he was enslaved in after his mother was killed by a customer he is naturally jumpy and fearful. Mikael does have one thing he is sure of that gives him strength: the belief that he wants to live. Now that he is twenty and free he realizes that can go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants to do now that he is free from the brothel. This is overwhelming, but he intends to lead a good life wherever it may be.
Your characters ambitions: Happiness, achieving a good living, creating as many friendships as he can.
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?
Mikael freezes up at the sight of combat. He runs to the back of the cottage and hides, listening to the sounds of battle. He just had a full meal after a tough day of getting together whatever he could from the wild. He had little to no gold, and no real weapons to battle with. Assessing his options Mikael realized that the best thing he could do is walk away and head for shelter. He could not afford confrontation. He felt really bad about what he was about to do and said a small prayer for the elf. Mikael stands up from his spot and starts to walk away, eventually breaking out into a brisk jog.
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?
Mikael smiles amiably to the shopkeeper and greets him. "Hello good sir" he says. Mikael had his eye on a dagger that was on display at the front. He noticed that he was a thousand gold short, but Mikael was ready to put on his usual charm and see what would come out of this. The shopkeeper looked simple minded enough to him. He picked up the dagger and turned it lightly in his hands. He could already begin to see that the shopkeeper was warming up to him. Mikael smiled once more. "Pray tell my good sir, how did you come across this fine weapon?"
