Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying is a lot like acting. You have to become a new person entirely. You have to transform yourself something else entirely. It requires lots of research. You must be able to act like you have lived your entire life like the character you are role-playing. You must always be in character. What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I have played Dungeons and Dragons a little. My main experience is that I am an actor. I have been in many productions. Acting is one of my favorite things, and I do it all the time. In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta gaming is when you use information from outside the game to affect how you play the game.

It isn't actual role playing because the information you gathered isn't anything your character would know. In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is: Power-Emoting is when you force other players to do something.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I think this server will be a great mix of acting and Minecraft. I will use my Minecraft skills to gather resources, and then I will use those resources to make an interesting character. I will do a lot more interacting with other players than on most servers. What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I played on Killion Detention Center and Pawncraft, both for a very long time. I played on Killion with many of my friends, and then Killion became way overcrowded, and super laggy. Pawncraft wasn't a great server, and I didn't know much about servers at the time. My favorite servers are definitely themed ones, and Pawncraft was very plain. Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules: Yes How did you hear about us?: I have seen your banner on the forums a lot, and while I was server searching, I decided to check it out.

In-Character: Character Name: Eldror Moonstalker What Race are you? (You may only be Human, Orc, Elf or Dwarf!) : Elf What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): Dark Elf Biography (Please make this at least 2 paragraphs long. This must include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Eldror had a difficult childhood. His father was a member of the town guard, and he was the youngest of five boys. All of his brothers amused themselves with wrestling around the house, climbing trees, sparring, or practicing archery. While his brothers would be out playing, Eldror would amuse himself with his blocks. By the time he was 20, he had build himself a small house where he could flee his now very dangerous brothers. Eldror's father thought that as Eldror became a man, he would realize that playing builder is stupid, and that fighting, and building strength is what real men do. But at Eldror became older and more secluded, his father became harsher and more stubborn. Eldror's only support was his loving mother, who found it in her heart to love both him and his rambunctious brothers. But, whenever his mother came to his aid, Eldror's father would beat her relentlessly. Eldror still has nightmares about it. Eldror's mother was very religious. She would constantly lecture her children about the greatness of Valulei. Eldror's brothers shrugged her off, but Eldror would listen to his mother endlessly talk about Valulei. She always wished someday that Eldror would build a great temple in dedication to his mother. She would tell Eldror that his brothers will never make a change that lasts forever, but a building, that can do real and permanent good. By the time Eldror was 30, all of his brothers had joined the watch. His father had forced Eldror into it, but Eldror would always hide when the call came. One night, after a long shift, Eldror's father and brothers came home. Eldrors father advanced upon Eldror. "You have skipped your duty for the last time, boy." And drew his sword. In an act of bravery, Eldror's mother threw herself infront of her son. The sword pierced her heart. Eldror couldn't belive his eyes. His mothers blood covered his hands. His father began to advance upon him. Eldror ran for his life. His father did not chase him far, as it was a cold night. Eldror spent the night with friends of him mother. The next day, he made a decision. He built a small house with the little money he had, and started a new life for himself. Now he is 50, and has a fine life. He likes to travel the world, looking for interesting bits and pieces. Now, he is a tall, 6'9", light grey skinned Dark Elf with long black hair. He is shy at first, but once you get to know him, he will open up to you. He mistrusts most strangers, but he will do business with anyone. He just wants to build. What are your Character's ambitions?: To build a temple for Valulei that would make his mother proud. What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): A pickaxe because he can mine up interesting building materials. What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?

Open-Response-Questions Each and every question must be answered with a minimum of a single full paragraph and entirely in RP. Whilst traveling from the Cloud Temple you see a small halfling, being harassed by two armed warriors. They appear to be trying to steal money from him, how does your character respond? If a halfling is having problems, they do not concern me, and I walk by without concern. The halfling can deal with his own problems. I am no match for two fully armed warriors, I am just a traveller with little fighting knowledge or experience. Let alone my gear, which is of the worst quality. In the end I would just make the situation worse for both me and the halfling. Your character wanders into Alras, and comes across a small stall, behind which a well dressed man is standing. He’s offering various wares, the merchant turns to you and says in a posh accent " 'ello there, what can I do you for today?" What is your character response? "I am in the market for some obsidian. It is very rare where I come from. Do you happen to have any? I can't tell you if I have sufficient coin for your wares, but if we can work out an arrangent, I will be more than happy to do business with you. I am constructing a large household that is mainly constructed of stone brick with obsidian accents. They provide a beautiful contrast to the stone." Whilst wandering in the wilds, your character comes across a small hut, which looks abandoned. Inside it you see a chest containing a few iron bars, and a golden sword. How would your character respond?: "Hello? Who goes there?" I wait for a response. There is no noise from inside. I advance slowly and cautiously, with my sword drawn. I suspect a booby trap laid out for an unsuspecting traveler like myself. I look for another entrance, but the only one is a small window. Not wanting to get myself in trouble with bandits and thieves, I walk away, leaving the chest for someone more brave than I. Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you you in the common tongue, how do you respond? "What do you sell here in this trading camp. I am ravished of hunger and thirst." I look for a food vendor, and buy some dried meat to settle my stomach. I ask the vendor who the leader of the camp is, and follow him there. The leader greets me warmly. "Welcome Dark Elf to out camp. "Hello, I would like to know if you could help me find my way to the nearest sea port. I got turned around some miles back." I follow the directions he gives me with a full belly. You hear word that bandits occupy the road outside the town in which you have been staying. The town guard have gathered, and are asking for assistance to help eliminate them. The leader of the party is offering a reward for any who offer their support. How does your character act on this information?: I offer my assistance, warning them that my fighting skills are not very developed. I can always use the coin they give me, even if I am not much of a help. My presence may add to the guard's numbers, and aid in scaring the bandits. I don't like evil, but I am not the one to combat it. I will always provide aid to those with the strength to fight, but I am not one of them. Anything else you would like to say?: I want to be an architect when I grow up, so this role will be fun for me to play. I may not understand all the workings of the world, but I would like to understand them more, and immerse myself in this intricate web of people.

EST Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I would say I do have a good grip on the english language.

I play the piano and love minecraft. I am smart and nerdy. How much time could you be on the server weekly?: 3-4 hours each weekday. 8-12 hours each weekend. I may have temporary conflicts, but these are my average times. What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying is essentially acting. I know that on a server, you have to talk, move, and fight like the character you are portraying. You can't ever break character on a roleplaying server because it messes up the entire atmosphere. Also, in roleplaying you need to take cues. If someone walks up to you and says, "Hand over all of your money" you can't say "Would you like to buy a pick?" Denying someone else's reality just messes up the entire feeling that makes roleplaying great. What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I am an actor.

It messes up roleplaying. yoau should have to discover the village. If you discover it, you get a feeling of satisfaction, and you don't mess up the server for everyone else. In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Powergaming is when you come up with things that your character can do, or does on the spot. For example, if you walk up to someone, and you say "You are my slave, because I have this wood axe," is power gaming. It is like denying someone's reality, and it also messes up the experience for everyone. What do you expect this server will be like?: I think that this server will be like a mix of World Of Warcraft and Minecraft. I left World Of Warcraft because I didn't like Blizzard making all of my decisions. And even with certain decisions that should have been left to me, if I made the "wrong" choice, my skill level decreased. I do miss being able to complete great quests, and slay crowds of people like I could in World Of Warcraft. What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I played on Pawncraft for a bit. I left it for one of my friend's private sever. I have played on many private servers owned by me and my friends. They were all boring, and collapsed within a week of being created.

But I am in need of some food, do you happen to have any?" Whilst wandering in the wilds, your character comes across a small hut, which looks abandoned. Inside it you see a chest containing a few iron bars, and a golden sword. How would your character respond?: I take everything in the chest.

Out-Of-Character: Minecraft Account Name: Nicharathas Did you attend minecon and sign up at the LOTC booth?: I did not attend minecon. I was not familiar witht he server at the time, but if I had seen in, I would have checked it out. I love the Lord Of The Rings.

Of course I have vacations and projects that could cut down on my time, but that is the general time frame I could be on. What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.: I know that roleplaying is pretending to be something, or someone that you are not. It is similar to acting, but you can never be out of character. The only backstage on a roleplaying server is when you log off. In roleplaying, you act, talk, and move like the character you are portraying. In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. Metagaming is when you use information you aren't supposed to know to benefit your character. For example, if I saw somewhere online that my character was near a castle and went to said castle, I would be Metagaming. It isn't true roleplaying because the character you are portraying doesn't know the information. Powergaming is when you force someone else into a roleplaying scenario in which they don't want to be in. For example, if I went up to someone and said, "We are getting married" without giving them a choice, it would be powergaming. It messes up roleplaying as well because it may not make any sense for that person to take part in the roleplaying with another character. What do you expect this server will be like?: I think that this server will be similar to World Of Warcraft and Minecraft, a balance I have been yearning for for the past year.

He designed great palaces for elven kings. He always told me, "Nicharathas... someday, you will be just like me." After his unexpected death due to the plague, I was greatly saddened, and decided to dedicate my life to building beautiful structures. Your characters ambitions: To build a great palace that will last for the ages. 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? I use what knowledge I have with a sword to aid the elf in defeating the bandits. As a fellow elf, I am willing to help him. If he was another race, I would help them too. Bandits are petty thieves. 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? I am in need of some glowstone. It is a rarity in my lands. Do you happen to have any?
