Minecraft Account Name: sgtdannyman
How old are you?: 15
Time-Zone/Country of Residence: EST (Washington D.C)
Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I would say particularly good. Not the best but It can be improved once sophomore year starts.
Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: Well I am a very fun person to hang around with due to my personality. I am extremely talented on getting along with others and making friends quickly. I would actually like to state that I would like to be a T.V editor/Producer Like my Father. I love RPG's Because it separates me from all the stress in the real world and takes me into my fantasy.
How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Due to all the studying I will have to do, I would most likely be able to be online for at least an hour to two hours a day.
What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: RolePlaying to me is Impersonating a made up character of your imagination. Its forgetting the Present and is focused on nothing but pure imagination. With RolePlaying you can be who you can make a character and impersonate it giving it all the traits you desire. You can Be a black smith in the medieval times or even a CIA agent working undercover. RolePlaying separates us people and gamers from the real world giving every trait and personality detail you desire.
What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: Well I know this isn't really that much of a detailed roleplaying game, but I played some World of Warcraft and joined Rp servers. I also played on this minecraft server known as Imdeity and that had some rpg in it but none of the kind that required true imagination thats why I would like to join LOTC, just to experience the true roleplaying nature.
In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: It is the act of using Out of Character Information while you are In Character. It would in a way wreck the roleplaying because If you find out from an enemy player who was out of character that they were going to attack your city then tell your team that so they would get ready for the attack that would be extremely unfair due to the fact it was not a single piece of role-play that lead up to them finding about this attack. What would have been a role-playing experience would be sending a couple of members of your kingdom to spy on the enemy and try to discover what there plans are.
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is: This is an act of acting out a impossible Task that no other man can compete with. Its kind of like claiming yourself to be a ruler of Asulon if you put it in a way. You wont allow the other player to respond or react to your actions making the gaming experience unfair.
In your own Words, define what Out of Character (OOC) is: Out of Character is not taking role in your imaginary state. Basicly meaning your back in the real world and you notice everything you were portraying was not real. Out of Character allows you to switch out of your imaginary state and into your Realistic state. That is why LOTC has a chat for OOC for things like reporting or trading or just simple questions to the staf members, also regular talk to friends.
In your own Words, define what In Character (IC) is: In character is taking role in your imaginary state separating you from the real world. You can portray your character that you have created and give it any trait you desire. While in character you must talk as if you where the race of your character. For example if you were elven for me you would talk in a formal matter and talk with manners. Then for a dwarf for me you would sound a little rude but yet act hysterical. IC is portraying what your character would say and what it would do.
What do you expect this server will be like?: Well due to the YouTube Videos I have watched I hope that it is as good as I have seen! I would love to try it out my self in character and actually be able to interact with the world.
What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: One server known as Imdeity I left for is because It wasn't the server I expected to be. I would have expected it to be more role-play like but instead everyone is OOC.
Another one would be Legendary Craft And that was because I just did not like it at all I just thought It was boring to play on it.
Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes I have read all the rules and I agree to all of them.
Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules: I as a player agree to abide by all the rules this server has put out for me.
How did you hear about us?: I heard about you from 2 ways.
Minestatus and YouTube
Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?: Yes I have made 3 before my 4th and I am unable to locate my others. I hope this will not affect my application at all.

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.):
18 years ago, Adonis Forbagin was in his mothers womb. His mother and father, who was a soldier, planned to make him into a fine soldier for one of the great kingdoms or towns in Asulon. Although on the day of Adonis's birth, his mother died during labor and left him and his father alone on their journey. His Father made an oath on that day to his son. " You are my son. I will never let any danger come close to you but one day you will be ready to start your own journey one day you may leave oren or stay and defend our nation. My Journey is coming to an end Adonis for my journey was to find you."
At age 4 Adonis had blonde hair and white skin. He was a slightly tall child who had learned the common language quickly. He looked almost exactly like his Father but had light blue eyes like his mother.
At age 5 Adonis started learning how to do manual labor. He learned how to cook and to smith items. His Father had taught him how to farm but since they were northerners they didn't learn much from it. One of the main things his Father told him that at age 7 he would start to learn the ways of the blade and that he must only strike it if in danger or you are fighting for honor.
2 years later Adonis was ready to follow the foot steps of his father. He began to practice with a wooden sword on one of the dummy's his father had made for him. He would strike high then low, and then for his finishing move he would slash his sword at the dummy's leg and hold the point of his sword at his throat. His Father had been very proud of him to see that adonis was progressing so well, as if he was ready to fight for the city. He said to his son " Adonis I am so proud of you. I bet if any monsters were to walk into our gates right now, you would kill them in an instant.
At age 16 Adonis was talking to his Father and his Father told him the truth of something that he had been hiding for a long time.
"My son Adonis, I would like you to know a secret of mine that I have been keeping form you the bast 16 years. I have a rare desease that I have been diagnosed with 17years ago. It is such a horrible desease that in a matter of months I might die." Adonis replied with a soft voice
"So since you are going to die, you have come to tell me to remain strong and follow the path of goodness? If so Father I have known that from the day you let me wield the blade I know that I must not use it for evil but for the good of man. I swear Father when my time has come to die you will be proud of all the honorable things I have done."
With that Adonis's Father said his last words " Adonis my son I know you will be a honorable man one day. You must fulfill your own destiny for it is not mine to chose. I love you son...." With that last word Adonis's Father shut his eyes and went to the stage of endless slumber.
At age 21 Adonis was finally ready to seek a nation he would protect, and also follow the footsteps of his Father. He also remembered what his Father had told him the day he died. "You must fulfill your own destiny for it is not mine to chose." With that Adonis went to the Cloud Temple and began his journey.

Open-Response-Questions
Each and every question must be answered with a minimum of a single full paragraph and entirely in RP.
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?
Adonis would walk up to the warriors saying, "Good day sirs, what seems to be the trouble with this halfling?"
"Go away you dog. Ye not be stealing our loot." Says one warrior.
" And yet you are stealing from that poor halfling give it back now or it wont get ugly."
"No ye dog, now get out or else I will put a blade to your..."
Adonis wiped out his sword and put it to the warriors neck, "Give it back now or I'll turn you into the gaurds." replied Adonis.
The warriors without question give back the money and Adonis escorts the halfling to one of the nearest cities.
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? "Hello there good sir, I was wondering how much that iron helmet be worth in the back?"
"It'd be worth 100minas" replied the trader.
"I dont seem to have enough for this I can set up a trade for you. I will give you 12 gold ingots for half the price of the helmet."
"Well then mate, I think we found ourselves a fair bargin. I'll be taking your gold now. Well then stranger take care!" A couple of seconds later. " Ello there stranger what can I do for you today."
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?: Adonis would just simply walk by it and not take anything from it, due to the fact that it may belong to another human or another race and no one would like to start a fight. He actually decided to cover the chest in leaves to hide the chest so that bandits would not be able to see 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? " Hello there good sirs. I am a little short on food would you have some food I can buy for 5minas?" Adonis said.
"Why of course we do. We will be able to give you a piece of stake. Anything else you need?" Replied the trader
"I will give you 15minas for that map you have on the table back there since I see there are two of them."
"Why certainly yes, here you go! Now then take care traveler!"
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?:
Adonis thinks to himself that you can never have to much money so he simply goes to the leader of the party without question and asks to join. Although he asks the leader if they should leave one alive for questioning. The leader accepted the idea and Adonis and the soldiers kill all the bandits but one who had a swords tip held to his throat by no other person then Adonis.
Anything else you would like to say?: I waited 3months before this app so I think if I get denied I dont have to wait those 3 months when the 5th one comes around. Although I hope there does not have to be a 5th one. :)
