Alwa Onden

Out-Of-Character: Minecraft Account Name: TheEpicMango Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?: Unfortunately I was unable to attend this year. My friend Ozy applied to this server and loves it. His fondness of this server has led me to check it out. How old are you?: I am 25 years old. Time-Zone/Country of Residence: EST - USA - Florida Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I do, indeed. Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: My name is Amber, I live in Florida with my husband and four ferrets. I enjoy writing, painting, role playing, Photoshopping, and working for a team of great people by helping them keep the peace on their official servers and sometimes Im also an extra for their wonderful Youtube series. How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Aside from work, I can dedicate 14+ hours to this server - if not more. What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.: Roleplaying, to me, means taking on a character and guiding it through another world. This character can be someone who is like or different from the person you are everyday. It really depends on the direction you want to take and what is considered acceptable in the world you are selecting. In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. When I RP'd on SecondLife the definitions of Metagaming was using OOC information to your advantage in a roleplay situation when, within that roleplay situation, you never made that information known through legit means. Power-gaming was defined as assuming or forcing your opponent into a corner or action they don't want to be in/do. Such as starting a fight with them, then one hit killing them without giving them a chance to block or get away. What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect good RPers, but not elitist members who think they are roleplaying gods. Im hoping for a good, tight group of people who know how to have fun, stay in character, and show the world what good roleplay is all about. What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: The one other server I played and left was one called imaginecraft. I left because the mods were powergaming, using god mode in 1v1 battles, ignoring player requests and grief threats, and -not- staying in character. RP was not enforced by any means, and the whole structure was just too chaotic for a server calling its self a RP server. It left a bad taste in my mouth so I moved on to find one that better suits what I am seeking. Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes, en triplicate. How did you hear about us?: My good friend Ozy549! Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you? Sure did, I am number 1,141 What is your The Lord Of Craft forum account name?: My username is TheEpicMango, but on the forums I just registered Mango. I may change it to my characters name if its not too much trouble - in order to avoid confusion. In-Character: Character Name: Alwa Onden What is your Race?: Elf (Mori) Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): She grew up the youngest of a 5 child family in a tree-top home in one of the many forests in Aegis. Her mother would take care of her and her 4 other siblings while her father would provide for not just their family but the rest of the kin by hunting large and dangerous beasts that roamed the forests and plains. One morning he never returned and her mother, frantic, urged her children not to follow in his footsteps. All listened but one - Alwa always wanted to find out what happened to her father, to lay his soul to rest and ease her mothers tortured heart. Her adventure begins in following her father's footsteps, and visiting Elandriel to see if there are any leads on him. Alwa's true age is unknown but is estimated to be just shy of 100 years. Her physical appearance is that of a 25 year old female with bright cyan eyes and dark brown hair. Her pale complexion comes from staying within the shadows of the tree branches in her village. Shes slow to anger, loves making lists and making plans, and is all around a very cheerful open-hearted person who welcomes anyone who needs her help. Your characters ambitions: Alwa is searching for the reason why and how her father disappeared and weither or not hes still alive. Shes also hoping for companionship and a sense of true belonging. 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? My kin are in trouble? I jump behind a tree, arrow cocked and ready. I pull my bowstring as fast as i can and watch as the arrows scatter and zoom past the group. The three persons, who were in the heat of battle, are now (if I planned this correctly) hopefully looking around for the source of the arrows, or at the very least are momentarily distracted by them. Its then Ill walk out from behind my tree and ask them what all the fuss is about, with my short sword drawn, just in case, stating that I really dont want to harm any of them and that Id like to help resolve the conflict peacefully and fairly. 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? Id smile, nod my head. but correct the obviously hard of seeing shopkeep that I am indeed a female. "Good morning, quiet day today isint it? You don't seem very busy..." Id exchange smalltalk and browse the wares..trying to get any bit of useful information or job openings from the man/woman and make a small purchase so my presence wasn't seen as a way of gaining information. Thanking the shopkeep, I would walk out and begin on the leads they so unwittingly leaked. A screenshot of your skin: Shes in front of a willow tree I made in both single and multiplayer worlds :) Other Information: My second attempt. I was not aware that I had to pick a past relevent to the territories of this server. I was illustrating that I am an adventurer from far away, so I do apologize for the mixup. Same with my confusion on the elf/bandit question - I unwittingly 'powergamed' a response. Thanks for the feedback I really hope this is up to par now. :) I have the flu right now so Ill be in bed for most of the night. Please dont take my silence as a change of heart.

In-Character: Character Name: Alwa Onden What is your Race?: Wood Elf Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): She grew up the youngest of a 5 child family in a kingdom called Llannerch. The townsfolk were wood elves who, for many years of nomatic journey, found a large, glowing oak tree perched high atop a mountain overlooking a valley. The elders took two nights to climb to the tree, and two nights later they climbed down. Their bodies were almost shimmering, glowing with the same eerie light as the tree had done every single night since they first came across it. From then on the people were gifted with immortality and powers to control and summon nature in exchange of protection for the mighty tree...that is, all but one. Little Alwa never received her special talent, as all elven kin before her had done. Somewhat ashamed, and somewhat pushed to do so, Alwa packed her things and began a journey to find someone steeped in magic to tell her what was blocking the Sacred Oak's magical blessings...and what she must do to awaken her true potential. Alwa's true age is unknown but is estimated to be just shy of 100 years. Her physical appearance is that of a 25 year old female with bright cyan eyes and dark brown hair. Her pale complexion comes from staying within the shadows of the Sacred Oak's mighty branches. (Her people are genetically pale from this) Your characters ambitions: Alwa is searching for the reason why the Oaks blessings did not manifest in her blood like her kin before her. Shes also hoping for companionship and a sense of true belonging. 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? My kin are in trouble? I jump behind a tree, arrow cocked and ready. I pull my bowstring as fast as i can and watch as the arrows fly and hit their marks. The three persons, who were in the heat of battle, are now pinned down by several arrows each, making simple movements harder. Id then approach, question what is going on...and make my decisions from there. 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? Id smile, nod my head. "Good morning, quiet day today isint it? You don't seem very busy..."

Thanking the shopkeep, I would walk out and begin on the leads they so unwittingly leaked. A screenshot of your skin: Shes in front of a willow tree I made in both single and multiplayer worlds :) Other Information: None that I can think of to be honest. If I come up with more questions Ill be sure to go ahead and post them :) Thanks in advance!
