*Sorry about the lack of blue text. This is my second attempt, therefore I just copied over my first one and fixed it. The only thing I was missing was a proper RP definition.
Out-Of-Character
Minecraft Account Name: My account name's "Nintendoerik". Yes, I know, it's long. Notch didn't tell me that my account name would also be my on-screen name. Don't judge me.
How old are you?: I'm eighteen years young.
Time-Zone/Country of Residence: I live in Canada, and my timezone is Pacific Standard Time (PST).
Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I would hope so. But if you need proof, just read my answers.
Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: My name's Erik (Nope, my name isn't Nin), and I'll try to summarize myself for your reading pleasure. I like to make people happy, I like videogames, I like friends, I like roleplaying, and I like having a good time. I do have a job, but I try to play games when I can.
How much time could you be on the server weekly?: At my job, my schedule is whack, but I'll try to come on as often as I get in the roleplaying mood.
What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: To me, roleplaying is when you immerse yourself fully into the game and play as your character would. It's important to speak with proper english, but also to have fun.
*Roleplay definition: Roleplaying is when one fully takes on their character. One acts like their character, talks like their character, and plays the game as their character. It's almost like writing a novel, but only writing the parts for one's character. It's important to use proper grammar and spelling, and preferable to talk like your character would (accents, etc). In short, it's when you... Play the role of a character. One pretends to be the character.
What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I've been roleplaying, mostly on World of Warcraft, for probably a year.
In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-gaming is when a person uses facts to their character's advantage that the character himself/herself shouldn't know. Like, if I read a character's back story and made it so my character magically knew about it. You need to separate your knowledge and your character's!
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power-gaming is when you do an action to another character and choose their reaction. For example, "Bob stabs Frank and kills him", instead of, "Bob attempts to kill Frank by stabbing his knife towards him".
What do you expect this server will be like?: Hopefully an immersive experience with people who actually want to roleplay.
What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I've hopped across random non-roleplay servers, but I don't really remember them. I've mostly just played on my own with friends. But, I never thought to try roleplaying on minecraft.
Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes. I even made sure to eat them so I could absorb their knowledge.
Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules: I don't know why I would play on a server, and want to roleplay, if I was going to break the rules. So, yes.
How did you hear about us?: I was googling and searching for a good roleplay server for awhile, and this one looked really fun! It also has Dwarves, and that makes it even better.
Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you?: Yes, and I believe I'm number 2,965 if I'm supposed to look under "Votes".
In-Character:
Character Name: Shaimis Beardhammer*
*Clan name is only Beardhammer if I make my own clan. If I end up not being able to, just ignore the surname.
What Race are you?: I'm a mighty and hungry Dwarf! Also, I'm mighty hungry.
What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): My sub-race is Beard. Just kidding. But seriously, Dwarves have amazing beards.
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.): Alright, so Shaimis' story changes depending on what game I'm on, but let's give 'er a go.
Shaimis Beardhammer is one of the last of his clan; however, said clan was never famous. They were known for mining vast caves and building homes and structures. Ever since he left home, he's yearned for adventure. With his trusty battleaxe and a heart burning with both determination and cholesterol, Shaimis is ready for any danger.
This orange-haired Dwarf is neither old nor young. But as Dwarven years go, Shaimis is only but a handful of years past adulthood. Of course, that's still many years compared to that of a Human's. His hair isn't short, but it's also pulled back into a ponytail. The band which holds the ponytail in place is encrusted with sapphires, and appears to be one the only expensive artifacts on his person. His irises shine a bright cyan below is semi-messy hair. His size and physique resemble that of a regular Dwarf--short, bulky and muscular--but appears just slightly shorter than usual.
Shaimis carries several skills with him, which would explain how he's still alive after getting into the sort of danger that he gets into. Either that, or it's just luck. He can swing a heavy weapon, such as an axe, strong enough to cleave someone in half. He's also inherited his clan's love for building, digging and mining. Of course, when it comes to Blacksmithing, most Dwarves have atleast some skill, and Shaimis is no exception.
As for personality, Shaimis is an interesting man. He doesn't help the stereotyping of Dwarves with his love for drinking and women. Even though he may be found hitting on every lady in the tavern before passing out untill the next morning, he isn't a bad person. When it comes down to it, Shaimis is an honorable Dwarf who will do the right thing in the end. He's caring, has a great sense of humor, and loves a challenge... But, he often gets into trouble.
What are your Character's ambitions?:
Shaimis aspires to not only be a mighty warrior, but to make something of himself. On the outside, he wants to be the best at what he does. Deep down, he also wants to make friends and possibly be a bit more soft. But don't get me wrong, he loves his axe!
What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): His favourite tools are both the axe and the pickaxe. Hey, they both have "axe" in them.
What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? When it comes to battle, Shaimis is a good person to call. Of course, he's also pretty fond of building.

Open-Response-Questions
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?
Shaimis strolls up to the two armed men, perking a brow and snorting in disgust. "Whot the 'eck are ye' bastards doin' to someone so small? For the love of me' beard, I take on people bigger then me!" He glares at the two men.
"That's none of your business, small one. Get lost," spoke one of the armed men.
"Bah, I try not ta' get into other people's affairs, but I'd like ta' warn ye' both that yer really close ta' the temple. I don't think ye' want more people backin' 'em up. Ye' already 'ave me." He reaches behind himself, pulling out a sharpened steel axe. Despite its weight, Shaimis gripped it with ease.
The other man shook his head. "C'mon, this isn't worth the trouble. Let's get going." After that, both of them stomped into the distance.
"Bah! Too bad they didn't stay. Me' axe was waitin' for some fun," Shaimis chuckled nervously.
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?
Shaimis nods to the man. "'Ello there, lad! Can ye' please point me in the direction of the nearest tavern?" He chuckles.
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?:
The adventurous Dwarf looked at the items inside the chest with excitement after struggling through the wilds for hours. He raises his arm in victory before helping himself to the delicious loot inside.
<Insert hilarious moment where he gets caught stealing from an old witch, and begins being chased out of the wilds as fireballs continually miss him.>
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?
Shaimis holds his stomach in pain as he stumbles into the camp. One man walks up to the Dwarf with concern. "Do you need help, sir? You look like you haven't eaten in weeks."
"Aye..." Shaimis uttered. "But, bring me' ale first..."
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?:
Shaimis accepts the job without thought. He would most likely take out bandits for free, but the reward sweetens the deal. "Well, let's go then! I've got some bandits ta' cleave!" He smiles and unsheathes his axe. "Who can deny a chance for adventure?"
