Hail Lord of the Craft Staff,
Out-Of-Character
Minecraft Account Name: Azuli
How old are you?: 15
Time-Zone/Country of Residence: +10 Australia
Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes, I do have good grammar skills and a fairly wide vocabulary
Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am 15 years old, male, brown hair and I wear glasses, I am 6 foot, 2 and I love to play AFL ( most people in America do not know what this sport is )
How much time could you be on the server weekly?: 14 – 20 hrs / week
What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying, to me, is what you do when you make up a character and stick to it. i.e. if I made up a grumpy old man as a character, then I wouldn’t go around speaking like a young teenaged rebel.
What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: Well, I have played The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and Skyrim, Runescape, but apart from that..... not much. I am in the process of writing a book though, and I think I have a pretty good imagination.
In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-Gaming is acting on the information that you, as a real human, would know but your character would have no idea. i.e. When playing mineraft, you can see the other players name above their head, therefore seeing where they are if they are below ground or coming around a corner. To keep in with the theme of role-play, we must choose to not notice the nametag as our character would not be able to see it.
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power-gaming in roleplay is when a player acts unreasonable or does an action like; *Azuli fires a crossbow bolt into Yaskan, killing him instantly.* That was unreasonable because Yaskan had no time to retaliate. This would be a better action to do; *Azuli loads his crossbow and points it at Yaskan* and then Yaskan would have the oppounity to do; *Yaskan gets ready to dodge the bolt that Azuli is about to fire at him* or *Yaskan runs away, scarred for life*
What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect that this server will be fun and exiting. I have been looking for a server that enforces roleplaying really heavily because, to be honest, rolepaying doesn’t work if even one person stuffs it up.
What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have played on SG Craft, a pvp server with a great community. But then the owner opened up a second server called SG Tekkit, and then most of the community went over there. It started to get boring because the admins and mods weren’t coming on SG Craft anymore.... which meant..... laws not being enforced..... drops in the community and with no community, no people to talk with. It is still a great server. But I need another to play on until it picks up again.
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
How did you hear about us?: Mine status
Have you voted for the Lord of the Craft on Minestatus? Which vote number were you?: Yes I have voted but i don't know how to tell what number I was
In-Character:
Character Name: Yaskan Azul
What Race are you?: Human
What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): Northener
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.): There are glimpses of my past before the great battle that I can remember.... me sparring with my father, a tall blacksmith he was.....my mother’s funeral pyre on top of the great stone statue... but they and a few others are all I can remember before being washed up on the coast of Asulon.
I was 25 years of age then. I was carrying a longbow, a quiver of arrows, a longsord and a mottled green cloak. These are the only items I have of my early days. I found a path and started walking down it when I saw a rather plump looking man being hassled by two brutes. I confronted them, asking what they wanted, but then they turned on me, both wielding diamond axes. I ran I couple meters but then thought to myself that although I don’t know who I am, I want to be a man that helps people, I want to be remembered, but not praised. So I took out my bow, knocked an arrow, and set it soaring though the first brute’s chest. (Wow I am pretty good at this) I thought. Then I drew my sword and charged at the second man. It seemed that I was either handy with a sword, or he hadn’t used his axe ever , because I overpowered him within seconds and sent him away. I don’t like to kill unless it is absolutely necessary. The plump man rewarded me with a lot of gold and offered me a place to stay but I declined the meal and bed or the night because it may seem that I like to keep to myself. So along I went exploring both the new land I washed up upon, but also finding and remembering more about myself.
I like to keep to myself, whether it be because I’m still trying to figure out who I am, or I was always a quiet person and these action are just in my subconscious. I don’t care. I like to be alone most of the time; no noise and I don’t need to worry about anyone else but yourself. I don’t have very many friends. That’s probably because I don’t trust many people. But I suppose that is a good thing in this time and age. It is better to have a couple friends that you trust with life, than lots of backstabbers that want your money and are just around you so you protect them.
The incident with the plump man was 3 years ago, since then I have built myself a small wooden shack and I'm gathering supplies to go build a hide out for a group I want to run and help people with. I have also been training myself in the arts of combat and cooking. I was never a good cook....always burning the food or not putting in enough salt. Ha ha it is hard.
What is your Character's ambitions?: To work out who he is, create a guild to help people.
What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Yaskan’s Favourite tool is a sword. He has had a sword with him for as long as he can remember. He also likes his bow; it makes him feel safe that it doesn’t matter how far away you are, you can still defend yourself.
What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Building, swordsmanship, archery and thinking strategically.
A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format):
I told the man that I was after some arrows and if he could tell me a price. “Gladly. Just one moment”. He replied. He then turned into his storeroom and came out with a quiver of 30 arrows, saying that he wanted 150 minas for it. I was taken aback at that price. I had never really liked merchants; they are just people trying to rip off others. And was your proof. I told him I would pay 50 minas, he said “Now now fine sir, surely someone with your elegant cloth----“ and with that I walked out of the shop and continued on my way.
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?:
There is an wooden hut with 2 chests in it. All the other furniture had been turned over and looked through as if people had left in a hurry. I walk by it and see the mess inside through the door. I decide to take a look. Inside I discover the two chests and look in the first. There is nothing in it. So I check the second one. Oooohhhh. A gold sword and some iron! But I must check if anyone is actually here or if these items are abandoned. So I go and check the vicinity outside of the cabin and check through the other furniture. And a finally decide that whoever was living here has gone. So I take the gold sword and pocket the iron bars and leave.
Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you in the common tongue, how do you respond?
“I can’t think straight..... so... tired... and hungry.... wait, what is that light in the distance?....”. So I muster every amount of strength and set off toward the mysterious light, just hoping, wishing, that whatever is at the light would have some food. I arrive at a camp, a trading outpost and I see people there, they see me. But just as I was about to greet them I blacked out........
I am lying on a straw camp bed next to a fire.....why?..... wait that’s right I'm at a trading outpost! “ Greetings traveller, my name is Elendel, Elendel Whitestreak.” Said a tall elf with the darkest black hair you could imagine with a pure white streak of hair on his brow. “ This is my trading outpost”.
“Many thanks to you Elendel. I do not know what I would have done if your camp hadn’t rested and fed me.
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 hear that there are bandits occupying the road out of town. I offer my assistance to the town guard and ask that I could have 4 archers. The guard leader accepts and I travel down to where the bandit camp is. I order the guards to form a semi-circle formation in the forest behind the camp. I then walk in around the to the front of the camp with my bow knocked. I fire an arrow into the tree near the lookout and he alerts the other 5 bandits of the trouble. I then walk into the camp with my sword drawn and ask them to leave and tell them that if they do there wont be any trouble. They don’t listen. They approach me and a parry a thrust from a bandit and yell out to the hiding archers who fire a volley into the other enemies. I return to the head guard and say that I don’t want the reward. He insists. So I take half.
