Diarmada

Alright, thanks for the quick replies. I'll probably make a new application when I get the writing urge.

I can't think of a way to word this well, frankly it sounds pretty bad for my standards, but when you donate, do you get in no matter what? I've made something like 6 applications and at the end of it, all I was lacking were details in my characters background I just don't have the feel of writing for a good hour like I did last time... Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I played dungeons and dragons for half a year, didn't like to play table top so I switched to role playing games like World of Warcraft (i.e. Roleplaying server on the game).

(note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): The 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.): Greetings friend, my name is drasarim, or drasa for short. My life has been a meager and uneventful one at best. I was raised like any other orc, born unto a certain tribe and raised to be a warrior. I guess you could say i'm not too normal given the fact i'm of the shamanistic bloodline, I don't really count it any different than other clans or bloodlines. But that's just me. I'm 30 summers old with a good, hopefully long, life ahead of me. I had a normal life like I said, I thrived for the hunt while I was young as my clan had an equal love for fighting as they did spiritualism. We were regarded just as cruel as we were intelligent. We carved a path for our clan with the broken bones and lives of our enemies. That being said, I have a knack for getting into fights, and once the bloodlust takes over, ancestors help my foe's. I've been gifted with a rather exceptional understanding for swordplay, and I can't live without my shield, literally, i'd probably be dead by now. I have rather good proof to that claim, i've lost sight in one of my eyes due to a nasty dwarf that had the wits to jump me. The bloodlust kicked in a tad early and I separated his spine from his body. Not many people talk to me anymore..... But that's ok, I don't hold it against them. As fore my history, I've been known to get into fights alot, sporting scars from a myriad of battles from foes less fortunate. Iv'e been told that I have a rather humble look on life and a friendly nature, even for an orc. But the thing that stands out most about me is this thing I call bloodlust. Whenever I get into a fight that takes alot out of me, I become this monster hellbent on killing and maiming. Normally after it subsides I pass out from exhaustion. What is your Character's ambitions?:To survive and thrive off the cacophony of battle, for the glory of the kill and the celebrations afterwards admittedly. What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): A Sword and shield What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Unparalleled finesse with a sword coupled with a knack for strategic clarity in a battle. A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format): File size is too big so here's the link http://bestminecraftskins.com/game-character/skyrim-orc/ Other Information about your Character: Blind in one eye, due to a scar from a distant battle. An insatiable appetite for food, and a gifted intelligence born from that of the shaman bloodline. 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? Well, not wanting to miss out on a fight. I stand there and assess the two warriors for weaknesses. Once they notice the hulking orc staring them down they will either high-tail it out of there or try to pick a fight..... hopefully the second. 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 size the man up and notice he doesn't have a bodyguard at his stall, orcs are in high demand as bodyguards due to there unparalleled skill in battle. So I ask the man if he's recruiting anybody to guard his stall from thieves and bandits. Maybe I can get a few extra minas or a discount on his wares. 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?: That gold sword looks like a weapon fit for an orc, I go in the hut to check for a person and if I can't find one.....steal it. 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? Ask if they have any spare food for sale, having acquired some recent wealth from the corpses of foes a few miles back. 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?: Ah finally a fight, not wanting to be idle when there could be a battle going on, I quickly enlist in the party going after the bandits. The wealth is an extra, the real reward is the chance to find a worthy opponent.

They were in a dirty business, them both. They left me in the care of my older sister, elleren, for the majority of my life. She was what kept the family together, she had a demeanor that would light up a room. She was the diamond in the rough and she was my world. One day my father came home early, the smell of alcohol heavy on his breath. My sister went to ask him why he was here so early. My father bore down on her cursing and beating her, he had just been laid off from his job. The whole time he was beating her senseless I was in the corner weeping at the sight unfolding before me. It went on for a while, it felt like an eternity but when I lifted at my eyes from the lack of commotion I saw my sister. She was face down, lying in a pool of darkened blood. It was so still, so quiet, horrifying. My father has apparently left the house once he was done, "thankfully" he had not noticed me. So I did what any young elf would do in my situation. I ran. Some years later I returned to the city a full grown man, I went to the house where it all occurred, there was nothing but an old woman who practically broke down at the sight of me. She told me I was so tall, so handsome after all the years. She told me that after what my father had done, he had decided to pick a fight with a bandit and had died from the fight. Having the information I seeked, I left the woman with a good sum of money and left with saying a word.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:A tad random with a splash of silly. I enjoy video games, writing fan fiction and reading.

Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying to me is delving into a world where all your troubles are gone,Your the person you've always wanted to be with friends you want to be with. You overcome challenges with the flash of steel and magic in a world where nothing is boring or unimpressive. You get too choose your own destiny and your choices along the way. What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?:Well, i've been playing World of Warcraft for around 5-6 years now. I have a solid idea on roleplaying and the will to delve into it further. In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Well, that's a hard topic. I don't entirely agree with meta-gaming because you don't immerse yourself in the game for fun. You do it to win and well..... sometimes it just gets old. It's not my cup of tea but neither do I bash the people who do it. If that's what they like to do, I don't really mind. Me however, I don't like too. In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: This sort of ties in with meta-gaming, Its not something I do. It's not unique, not something you created out of passion, just a means to beat a game easier. I sort-of think of it like this. You can play a game on easy and beat it in a day. Its all fine and dandy but you don't really get the full value of it since it's not a challenge. But lets say if you play on hard, its much more of a challenge and fulfilling when you do succeed. What do you expect this server will be like?: Ugh....expectations. I dislike expectations. It's sorta rude in my eyes, but that's just my self-critical side. If I had to give some expectations i'd say that 1: The server will be fun 2: I will make friends along the way, thus increasing the fun level and 3: It will consume ALOT of my time. What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: Well to name a few: anarchy.gleany.com (I played on this sever for a LONG time. Around 4-5 months...till it shut down...) Herocraft( great server for class based gameplay, I still play on it) And yeah, thats about it. I dont change servers often. Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?:I have. Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules:Pinkie promise with all my heart. How did you hear about us?:This is not a shout out in anyway shape or form but "PotatoOrgy" livestream on twitch.tv Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you?:Not yet, but I intend too if I get accepted to the server. In-Character: Character Name:Diarmada What Race are you?:Elf What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race):Wood 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.): *Grumble* So you want to hear my story? Well, Im an elf, a wood elf if you were wondering. Born from a from a High elf mother and a wood elf father. I took most of my fathers genes except for the mis-matched eyes of green and gold. I have been told it's rather uncommon to see such a thing but I don't fret over it much, It's given me exceptional sight. So much so that I can sometimes see magic as an aura around a person, place or thing. It's made life....interesting. I'm as good an archer as you will ever see, and an even better thief (which hopefully you wont see). Iv'e run into some bad luck however and I seem to be in debt for a good portion of my life. Odd jobs just don't cut it anymore, it's time to man up.

I hope to be the worlds greatest thief, too acquire wealth beyond my wildest dreams and live a life of luxury. What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Well... I'm naturally gifted with a bow.... but I really like swords. To get up close and personal with an enemy, parrying and dodging attacks then raining blows down onto anyone who stands in my way. What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?: I can stalk a target for miles, Fade into the shadows when they grow suspicious and kill them if need be.
