Out-Of-Character

Main Minecraft Account Name: Hellsbane

Alternate Minecraft Account Name: (I only have one login. So mind explaining?)

In your own words, define what the act of Roleplaying is: To play as a character you create in a fantasy world, and living out their life in accordance to the setting and Lore that they are placed in.

In your own Words, define what the act of Metagaming is: Its using OOC information to try and benefit yourself IC. You could learn the location of someone OOC and then head straight to them with no explanation IC at all.

In your own Words, define what the act of Powergaming is: This is where you make yourself overly powerful while RPing. This would give you an unfair and surreal edge to the people that RP with you. (e.g) You take out a Flaming sword Blade and wipe out everyone around you, winning the battle.

In-Character:

Character Name: Vincent Ixion

Age: 18

What Race are you?: Human

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): Northern

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.):

Vincent was abandoned as a child by a Father who did not care for him. He was a scruffy kid when he was young, with Short brown hair, and brilliant blue eyes. For his whole life, he wanted to help the land. As he got older, he started to learn more about the world around him, and what he could do to help its residents. He grew up learning as much as he could, training with sticks, to swords and liking the feel of a sterdy blade in his hand.

Before Vincent left at the age of 17, the owner of the orphange stopped him, and gave him a note from his father. Reluctant to take it at first, the owner explained that hed been told to give it to Vincent when he was old enough to understand. His Father was part of a secret order, in charge of keeping Asulon safe from any outbreaks from a strange dimension. Vincent believed this more easily than most due to always seeing something in the corner of his eye, but when he turned, nothing would be there, apart from Violet colour residue and an eerie feeling.

With the note came one wish from his Father to son. "To stop the incursions at the source, and carry on the mission, I died to uphold". Vincent clenched the note, as tears hit the scrunched up paper. With light armour donated by the local smithy for his adventure, Vincent set off to learn more about the sect, and to try and become like his Father before him...a saviour of the land.

What is your Character's ambitions?: To learn more about his dead father, and the sect he was apart of. Then try to find and stop the source of the incursions from the dimension mentioned.

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format): http://i777.photobucket.com/albums/yy53/Caspian500/HumanSquireScreenie.png

Other Information about your Character: The dimension noted is "The end". Seeing as getting there is quite slim, and slaying the source "Ender dragon" even slimmer, the majority of his questing will involve finding out about his Father.

Open-Response-QuestionsAnswer at least three out of five listed

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?

Vincent walks up to the two strange men, and offers a casual greeting. Both men turn around, and assure that it is royal business of the Kingdom, and that they are apprehending the thief. Bowing to both men, he argues the point that thief or not, he should have a fair trial instead of being bullied. If the men refuse, Vincent will unsheath his blade to one of the men's throats until they get onto his way of thinking.

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?

Vincent steps up to te counter and asks for any special offers on the stall. The man behind the stall would reply, saying that its just the same old stock from yesterday and the day before, but will give away a moth-eaten cloak if he feels the customer had payed enough. Vincent would think to himself for a while, before digging into his money pouch, and asking for a whetstone for his blade, a few apples, and some information of the best place to stay for the night. With a bit of haggling and social chat, he would barther over the cloak, and get it repaired at a different vendor.

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?:

Vincent would resist the temptation to take the golden sword, and bars the door with a stick. He places a note on the door, intended for the owner saying "Your lucky im not a Bandit or your stuff would be gone. However, you need to work a bit to unwedge this stick, but thats the price of being too naive". With that, he'd walk toward the nearest pathway and carry on.

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?

Vincent staggers toward the camp and desperately asks for an apple or bread. The trading camp obliges and gives him an apple. Feeling a little less needy, Vincent offers his services to guard the camp for a while, in exchange for some information which would lead to a populated town or at least a place to re-stock.

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?:

Vincent finds the Captain of the local guard, and devises a plan with him. That if they sneak around to the side out of site, but hold some men as a distraction, the men kept there would draw the bandits out, and the side team would flank them, driving off or killing them in the confusion. After the fight, and the bandits more or less taken care of, Vincent takes half of the reward, as he would not have been able to do it without the local guard, and uses his money to restock and spend the night at the inn.

- Could I replace one with the other?

I got us some sheep, wrangled from the meadows outside the back gate of Glenwood. Aye, they be doin well, and we be havin two new additions from the ewes that gave birth shortly after they were placed in theyre pens.

I did acquire a cow, named her daisy, but... A freak lightnin storm, the ones we used to get in ye keep back in ol' Crestfall. Well that struck er and me, and well shes just some roasted beef in the sky. Sent up to the Gods for auction on her soul.

I saw a Chicken, but it ran off while I were dealin with the cow. 'Owever. This still be good news. It means there be a chance that we can get cows again near Glenwood, and maybe Chickens too.

*An additional message is written on the back of the Original* I found the chicken, it were a bit fried, Just its raw self, a feather and some seeds. It be good eatin, but we'll find some more. I be sure of that. The sheep survived the storm too, so they be a hardy breed for sure.

I have a solution to 3 of the 4 Items needed. Trees.

Wood - Obvious one here.

Food - Punch or Axe the Leaves and you get apples. Apples are food.

Coal - Charcoal is a good substitute. We just Smelt Wood with Various other wood. Then Wood with Charcoal we get to make it a shorter process.

We just need to replant the saplings and we wont need to worry about most of the things needed.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: GMT London, England.

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I do have a good grip on both the English Language and Grammar.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am an out going person, who is very warm-hearted and kind toward others. I am good as a

lone ranger or as a team player and love to play RP games. (The odd arcade or FPS game here and there doesnt hurt either).

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Depending on Apprenticeship interviews, Id say 18 hours when I havent got an interview and about 16 hours when I do.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Role Playing is where you create a persona in a fantasy world. You usually have to be IC but can say when you will be OOC with a sign or symbol. You have to be very detailed in what you see, do, and anything taht is an interaction with the world to make the experience for you and other players to be better overall.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I have played many RP games, such as Final Fantasy, Dungeon Hunter, WoW, etc. I am also part of a RP forum where multiple RP stories are going on.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is:Power gaming is where you give yourself god-like power and enable yourself to do anything, even if it isnt the least bit plausable. For instance, a mage could say he conjurs a black hole and envelops the planet, but escapes on a unicorn. Its just silly and un-fair.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect it will have a great landscape, with a helpful community and people speaking in actual english rather than text speak almost all the time. I also expect it to be a good RP adventure with a few twists and new meetings along the way.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: Ive played on Herocraft, but the support for new players is next to nil. Since I was getting spawn killed by VIPs, I left. I am with Shadoom server now, but its not an RPG server. I did also try Drakortha's ancient world server, but it was the same issue with herocraft, and I ended up dying alot and getting no where with no clue as to what was going on.

Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules: I do promise to abide by these rules and laws.

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.):

Caspen is a young (yet wise) dwarf, reaching the young age of 19, and having a nice beard and set of hair. He wears a helmet his Father forged when he hit his 18th Birthday. He lives like a true dwarf, with his own threaded, bejewelled scarf and light mail to boot. he even acts like a true dwarf, thinkig with his heart and axe. Braver than a bison, but the subtelty of an elephant. Now, Caspen is part of a long line of Dwarven warriors, who have lived in exile the Mountains for generations. he has lived in exile for so long that it can not be counted to any age. He lived with his Father Morthus Hellsbane. His mother died at Child-birth, and so they took care of one another. This was the way it was until one fateful evening.

Morthus was in training, outside of the mountains in a field. He was throwng axes at Archery targets, and scoring fairly close to the centre. Caspen was near the mouth of the cave, but could see the dim glow of the torches in the training field, and the faint thud of axes hitting home. The young dwarf looked up and saw the sun begin to set. His father obviously was too into his training, and so didnt notice the fading light. Caspen decided to go and tell him, and give him a piece of his mind to be more wary of the time. As he was getting up from the doorway, he heard a noise that echoed through the field and forest, toward the moon that was slowly rising. A wolf's howl. The pack was on the hunt.

Caspen dropped his axe and sprinted toward the field. As he got closer, he could hear welps of dying beasts and the sound of metal hitting flesh. Caspen saw his Father in battle with the pack and froze. Three wolves picked up his scent and made a dash for him. He closed his eyes and waited for the growling death, but it didnt come. he opened one eye and saw his father standing over a wolf corpse, and holding back two others with his big, muscular hands. Morthus turned for one second to check if Caspen was ok, but then it went wrong. Out of no-where a flash of silver came from the forest and struck Morthus down. Caspen was about to help, until his Father uttered his final words "Go caspen, Run!" Caspen didnt hesitate and ran, tears flowing off his face and being absorbed into his beard. He didnt even stop running into the wilderness, when he heard his Father's last scream and breath.

What is your Character's ambitions?: To hunt down the wolves that killed his father, and take revenge on the beasts.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Axe, ofcourse. However he is sometimes partial to a pick.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? He is a good Warrior, and can charge headlong into a horde of zombies and live to tell the tale. He is best with axes, but will use a sword if there is a lack of axe.

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?:
