Alternate Account Application Main Account MC Name: itsjohnwooo (Saeros) As an application team member could not find my other application, here's the one: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/40117-itsjohnwooo-lotc-applications/page__p__280277#entry280277 Alternate Account MC Name: fulldemon400 In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. Metagaming is when you use OOC (Out-of-character) information IC (In-Character). For example, you cannot know someone's name, age and sometimes race when you've met them for the first time. Powergaming is when you successfully declare an action without letting the other person do anything. For example, *A stabs B in the heart, killing him* would be unfair, since B won't be able to react to it. The correct expression should be *A attempts to stab B* Both are bannable offences. Character Name: Elyndia 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.): Elyndia was brought up from a noble family in a village situated in the Wilds of Aegis. It was a peaceful village and Elyndia was taught vital survival skills such as farming and fishing. She was also taught how to use a sword although she did not like combat. Many men and even some women were attracted to the art of fighting, but Elyndia wasn't. In fact, she tried to avoid learning combat skills at all times. Her family forced her to learn a little bit of combat with a dagger, and she found it displeasing to use such a weapon, knowing that it was capable of taking someone's life. After learning how to use a dagger as a child, she never took it out again. It was something she had to carry at all times, but she promised herself that she would only use daggers in the most desperate circumstances. She was more interested in what many referred to as 'magic'. She was fascinated; reading books about magic and the story behind each type of magic, although she did not know where to learn such things. The village she lived in was often competing with a group of bandits, who were hiding in caves close to the town. There were often many skirmishes between the two forces and the villagers believed that their village was impenetrable. However, one day, the village was attacked by a group of human bandits. It was in the middle of the night as they entered the village through the main gate, opened by a corrupt guard. The bandits silently took care of all the guards that were out on patrol or were sleeping. Soon, the whole village was in panic due to the bandits, stealing and murdering everything that stood in their way. There were approximately ten bandits; all were fairly skillful with their swords and axes. After they set fire to several houses, they reached a mansion, in which Elyndia was with her two brothers and her parents. Her two brothers and her father was lucky as the mansion was in the very back of the village, giving them time to quickly suit up and get ready with their weapons. Soon, it was a battle between Elyndia's family and the bandits. Although a few bandits were struck down, the three armed men were still overwhelmed by the rest. While the battle ensued, Elyndia and quickly went down to the basement with another surviving guard. As Elyndia looked through the wooden trapdoor, she was horrified to see that one of the bandits went up to her brother, who was facing the other way, and struck him in the back with a battleaxe. She had just witnessed one of her family members die. Ever since that incident, Elyndia was unable to look at an axe without having flashbacks of her horrible past. Elyndia and a guard, who swore to protect her at all costs, quietly hid in the basement, as they knew that they had no chance against the bandits. It seemed like an eternity of waiting in the basement, simply wanting the bandits to finish their looting. After a whole day of waiting in the basement, they came out and was shocked. There was no village to be seen; just big piles of burnt wood and a few dead bodies scattered here and there. Elyndia and her guard now had one mission: to survive. They had to travel through the dark forests of the Wilds, to hide from the undead and to travel across a vast majority of land. Luckily, after less than a year, they reached a town, only to hear that the Undead was consuming the land of Aegis. Unable to know whether Elyndia's parents survived the bandit attack, she had to leave Aegis and travel towards to new land of Asulon, along with her guard, who was now old and battered from countless number of fights. To this day, she does not remember much of the bandit incident; it was as if the mind decided to block the horrors of that day so Elyndia could live her life. Elyndia is a brown-haired, green-eyed, beautiful lady. She was cheerful when she was young, but ever since the incident with the bandits, she is very quiet and shy. However, if Elyndia becomes friends with people, she has the potential to become who she was, an optimistic, cheerful young girl. Your characters ambitions: Elyndia is looking for a peaceful settlement; to become a part of one. It has been long since she has talked to a friendly face, and she is in desperate need of someone who she can talk to share her feelings. 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? Seeing as though she avoids fighting at all costs, she watches fearfully from a distance. She hopes the elf would win the combat, seeing as she has heard wonderful things about elves. Elyndia quietly goes around the battle, as there are no towns and villages nearby, out in the Wilds. Your character walks up to a shop in a quiet market. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer? She replies with a gentle smile and continues to look around for what she has come for; melon seeds for her new farm. After picking her goods, she quietly whispers to the shop owner, "How much... are these?" A screenshot of your skin: http://www.minecraftskins.com/skin/65656/lady-elf/ Thanks for your time!

Many men and even some women were attracted to the art of fighting, but Elyndia wasn't. In fact, she tried to avoid learning combat skills at all times. One day, the village was attacked by a large group of bandits, consisting of Orcs and Humans. The village had many competent warriors, but it wasn't enough. Soon, the village was overrun by orcs and humans, stealing and murdering everything that stood in their way. They continued that cycle until they reached a mansion, in which Elyndia was with her two brothers, a sister and her parents. Her two brothers and her dad fought bravely, fending off more than ten humans at once. However, the overwhelming number of orcs crashing through the walls of the mansion meant that the family could no longer hold off the attack. Elyndia and her sister quickly went down to the basement just in time as the bandits captured her brothers and her parents. As Elyndia looked through the wooden trapdoor, she was horrified to see that one of the orcs went up to her brother, who was still holding the sword and not giving up, and struck him in the gut with a battleaxe. She witnessed one of her family member die, to her horror. Ever since that incident, Elyndia was unable to look at an axe without having flashbacks of her horrible past. Elyndia and her sister hid in the basement as the mansion as well as the rest of the village was burned down and looted, everyone being killed or captured. Luckily, the two girls weren't discovered. Elyndia and her sister left the ruins of their village and with a new determination: to survive. It was as if a God has given her protection during her journey; no harm came to her, as she silently walked among the dark forests in the Wilds. During the undead invasion, much to Elyndia's dismay, she lost her sister as they were running away from the undead. Although it was possible that her family was still alive in Aegis, she braced herself, held back her tears and travelled to Asulon. Now, she travels towards the town of Hanseti, wanting only shelter under other humans and looking for peace. Elyndia is a brown-haired, green-eyed, beautiful lady. Years in the Wilds and surviving harsh winters left her tired and exhausted, but the look of determination is always visible in her eyes; the will to survive. She was cheerful when she was young, but ever since the incident with the bandits, she is very quiet and shy at times.

Harbingers of death to all who would oppose Her, paragons of justice to all who defy Her, protector of Her sanctity.” Signed: Saeros *The Sentinel asks you questions so he may ponder over your request to join the Guard, he beckons you to keep it brief* Question 1: What can you contribute to the Guard of Normandor? I can provide any type of wooden material that the Guards require, as I am also a lumberjack. I have lived in Normandor for awhile so I know all the roads and buildings in Normandor. Not only that, I am training in both swordsmanship and axe mastery skills. Question 2: Armoured persons approach our gates, they are open. You don’t know why they are here. What do you do? First of all, closing access to the City of Normandor, ensuing the protection of the citizens inside. Then, I will ask basic questions: Their identity and reason for being in the city. If things get out of control, I will quickly call for other Guards. Question 3: Where do you wish to progress in the Guard? Personally, I would like to reach the rank of Sentinel, possibly in Axe Mastery, for it is a vacant spot. However, I am not skilled enough to become a Sentinel, meaning I'll train very hard and do my job as a Guard, even as an Initiate.

What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name?: itsjohnwooo In-Character: Character Name: Saeros Kvekyva What is your Race?: Elven Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Saeros Calmacil does not remember his childhood very much. All he remembers is that he was born by a small stream somewhere among the wilderness of the Aegis. When he was a toddler, his father was out on a trip to the nearest city with Saeros when they were attacked by bandits. As the father was busy fighting the bandits, Saeros crawled away from the fight and soon got lost. He was then picked up by a rich noble elf by the name of Calmacil, who was collecting herbs in the wilderness. Saeros was then adopted by the Calmacil family who lived in Elandriel, the capital of the elven nation and took the family name of Calmacil. As he grew up, the Calmacil family forced him to learn herbalism and archery, but he hated the practice. When he was the age of 25, he packed his bag and left the city of Elandriel and headed for Kingdom of Renatus, where he could learn what he wanted to learn all these years: swordsmanship. For 10 years, he spent his life in the Guard and trained his swordsmanship until he was tired of fighting for what seemed to be 'the good cause'. He debated over himself what was good and bad and made a conclusion that staying in the Guard wasn't good enough. He had a human friend in the Renatus Guard. They often talked about why they were fighting for these things and could never find the answer. Neither of them asked each other's names. They simply called each other 'Human' and 'Elf' although they were very close friends. One day, when Saeros told the human friend that he was leaving the Guard because he decided that staying in the Guard wasn't good enough for him, his human friend agreed with him and left the Guard together. They were both adept swordsmen and decided to travel along the Wilderness together and to kill everything that posed a threat to the world coming together in peace. Whenever the human friend would kill something evil, he always whispered "All evil must be vanquished." Saeros was always fascinated by that. One day, they came across a group of ten bandits, human and orc. As they fought, it was very easy to tell that the bandits were very highly trained. Saeros and his human friend was soon losing the fight. Saeros's human friend's left leg was cut as was his right forearm. They were both equally damaged and the bandits just kept attacking without giving them a chance to breathe. Then, one of the orc bandits knocked Saeros cold off his feet. He tumbled down the ground as his human friend continued fighting the remaining three bandits, after killing seven. As Saeros slowly woke up, he found the human friend fighting by his side against two bandits. He shouted "Go! Go! Get out of here and save yourself! I'll meet you later!" and pushed Saeros away as he battled the remaining bandits. Following the human's orders, Saeros ran for it. He passed trees and shrubs as he heard someone scream behind him. When he looked behind, to his horror, his human friend had been stabbed in the stomach. The other bandits were now coming for Saeros as the human friend was slowly bleeding to death. As Saeros was running, he was weeping. He was simply not strong enough to fight the trained bandits. In his tears, he shouted "I'll avenge you! I'll carry your legacy!" as he ran away towards the nearest town. Ever since then, Saeros had a new determination; to avenge his friend by killing all bandits with no mercy. Then one day, as he was trekking across the Wilderness, he found a small log. He was famished and burst into the cabin after knocking on the door several times. There stood an old elf woman, sitting on the table. She had the same features as Saeros; purple eyes, brown hair. She looked at me for a long time, frowned, then her eyes went wide. Saeros had found his birth mother. He was also notified by his mother that he had a sister, which surprised him. After hours of talking, he set off, promising that he would be back when he finds his sister again. Saeros Kvekyva, with his new name, became a vigilante. He travelled across differents cities and towns all over the world, punishing and brutally killing bandits and robbers with his highly trained swordsmanship. No one could ever deduce what he was thinking from his motionless face. His time spent in the Renatus Guard has given him the ability to judge things quickly and his ability to fight swiftly. Saeros has long brown hair with purple eyes and is seen whenever crime is happening wherever it is, whether it be a town, a city or a forest. Your characters ambitions: Saeros has a very determined ambition: to rid of all evil doings in the world of Asulon. He shows no mercy and emotion when killing his foes. Also, Saeros is looking for his sister around the world. He only knows 2 things about her: that she has the same purple eyes with brown hair like him and that she majors at archery. 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? Seeing as a friendly elf seems to be struggling in a battle, Saeros immediately draws his sword and charges at the nearest foe. The bandits notice Saeros and they swing their sword and mace at him but Saeros gracefully jumps over the attack and drives his sword through one bandit's heart. The other bandit then swings the mace over for another attack but Saeros again avoids the attack with ease. The battle seems like a graceful dance move as the elf knocks the bandit's weapon away with the hilt of his sharp and thin sword. The bandit then pleads for mercy but no emotion is shown in Saeros's face. Without a pause, Saeros drives the sword through the bandit's chest whilst whispering "All evil must be vanquished." He stands up, cleans the blood from his sword, then looks over to the elf with a worried glance, asking "Are you okay?" Your character walks up to a shop in a quiet market. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer? Saeros answers with a beautiful smile, "I would like to buy some medical supplies." The mystical aura of the elf captivates the shop owner as Saeros looks over the selection of potions and medical supplies. A screenshot of your skin: Other Information:
