Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I have been taught English for 7 years in school now, and I talk English every day for 2 years now. Well, I might not be the best, but my English isn´t bad after all.
Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am a student, and I want to become a programmer one day, because I already program a lot by myself. I also like reading fantasy books, and playing minecraft.
How much time could you be on the server weekly?: About 4 days a week, maybe more, but definitely not less.
What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying games are games in which each individual character plays a role, that leads his path through the way of the game he plays. The person playing a role is also meant to act as his character would do in this situation if it was his real live. In cases of multiplayer Roleplaying more people decide how something should happen, like a guild deciding if or when a war should start. The individual characters can then decide their way of handling that, or how to prepare.
What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: The first games I every played were the Gothic series, which I played through many times. I have also played every game like it, and I am always on search for others, in which case this server comes perfect, because it combines my two favorite things: Minecraft and RP-gaming.
In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-Gaming is, if you use knowledge, that your character cannot have at this time or at all. This could for example be, if you know a friend of another clan, you are enemies with, and he tells you about their plans, you may not use that knowledge to give your character an advantage.
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power-Gaming is, if you give your character/role too much power (= to ´Overpower` him/her), so that the character is for example invincible. This would not only be unfair for others, it would also take the fun of the RP for the person doing it. A good example for this would be an assassin, who would be invisible for others, and he could murder them while being hidden. The people being murdered wouldn`t have a chance in this situation, because they couldn´t tell there was a person, and when they notice it is already too late. But if for example the assassin would only be able to be invisible for some seconds, and also would have something like a `cool down` until he could attack after that, it would probably end up in a fair fight.
What do you expect this server will be like?: I think, that the people there are all sent to guilds, which have systems of trading, culture and everything else, what a guild/town should have. I also expect it to have a big story where everyone is involved.
What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I played on mcpvp.com, the most famous PVP server I know, but I left it, because I didn´t like how everything got corrupted by grievers and creepers, since it is way more pleasant to play on a nice and authentic map. Also have I played (and been Admin on) the biggest redstone related server of the whole minecraft community, which is called the Redstone Development Foundation (RDF /theRDF.net). I still play there about once a week, but it´s just too much if you only build with redstone all day.
Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes, I have.
Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules: Yes, I have
How did you hear about us?: A friend, with which I play minecraft once in a while told me about this server.
Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you?: Yes, I have. I was number 543 to vote.
In-Character:
Character Name: Ir Urakh
What Race are you?: Orc
What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): Shaman
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.): My characters mother died when he was born, what was 21 years ago, so he only had his father his whole live long. That made his him a figure that he looked up to and an example which he was proud of. And he wanted to become a hunter his whole live, to be like him. Ir Urakh trained all day, to be of use for his folk one day. His father always told him to be proud of being an orc, and to try to serve the folk of the orcs as much as he could.
But one day his father didn’t come back from the hunt, only a man, who took him to a hostel, where he had to live from that moment on. At the time when he was old enough to understand what actually happened at this day, he became afraid. He didn´t want to fight anymore, because he was afraid of having the same fate as his father.
He ran away from the hostel, to the abandoned house where he lived before. It didn’t take him long to realize, that he needed food. But that was a problem for him, because he didn’t have anything he could trade with, and nether he could hunt himself, because he was too afraid. To solve this problem he started reading books that were lying in the house, in which he read of ways to farm and gather food without being in danger. As he continued reading several books, he figured out what magic was.
So his goal from that day was, to find a way to use magic, but he couldn´t figure it out. That is something he has yet to do. And for that reason he left his worthless house behind, to live in civilization, of which he knows that it would be the way where he will have to head to achieve his goal.
What is your Character's ambitions?: My characters final goal is, to study magic, and to gather as much knowledge about the Universe and its secrets, so he could lead the evolution of the orc´s skills in magic and science to a state where it has never been.
What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): His favorite tool is the hoe, because he doesn´t have the skills in strength to use a sword or pickaxe too much. He does use those as well, even though he tries to avoid that by getting materials differently than mining. For that madder he trades a lot with the goods he harvests on a farm, to get what else it needs to survive, and build.
What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? My character is supposed to be very intelligent, or at least as much as I can get him to be. I would consider this as his best skill not only in combat, where he always plans his next steps, also in thinks like building and mining, where he always tries to find the best way, so he could be most efficient. This intellect is also a reason for his wish to study magic, because he expects it to be a weapon that uses the mind, and not the muscles.
A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format):
Other Information about your Character: My character is not very good in close combat, he is more the kind of person standing off and fighting his enemies with a plan. He is also not interested in other folks then the orcs, and he is sometimes even racist against them, no matter what the relations of them to the orcs are.
