Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Aside from the few to no typing errors that sometimes occur due to fast typing, overall yes I can speak English just fine.
Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I'm quite serious about what I do when I'm doing something, I usually am a lone wolf type of guy not much of a fan of people running every direction in sight. I am a man of sports such as track and football, If and when you hear my voice it may not sound 16 but I'm 6 foot 6 inches and it adds quite a deeper tone of my voice. When I do decide to be around a lot of people I get a long fine, I just enjoy quietness.
How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Usually every night as long as I wish, i try to keep a time of rest at a decent hour to say focused in school. On weekends i can play every hour on the hour so long as nothing is planned before hand that I must do.
What do you know about Role playing? Give a definition of what it means to you: To me role playing is to take control of a character you have designed and see the world through their eyes, to play out their life and story.
What experience have you had in Role playing, if any?: Many of the games I play hold servers with options for role play, genuinely I always pick RP servers when ever the option withholds. The games I role played on mainly and recently would be Minecraft, World Of Warcraft, Garry's Mod, And Rift.
In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: To bring information from the outside world into your characters world, For an adequate example, Someone announces their location in the servers OOC global chat and people who saw it went to that location. That would be meta because they didn't actually have the information physically brought to their character.
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power gaming has two meanings in my thoughts, one being to give yourself an advantage like going behind someone in the server and typing *goes to up "blank" and kills with sword* this would leave your character at an advantage being power gaming because that would give that person no chance to fight back. Secondly to stand in an rp situation and let other people carry the whole situation out without you taking part in anything. The second may not be correct but in Garry's Mod as an admin the owner told us that was the second offense of Powergaming.
What do you expect this server will be like?: Well its great to see a whitelist, because most servers don't do this anymore allowing any person to join. So the formality of your system of joining is in my favor. This also kind of lends me a good feeling that your player base is a bit more mature then most. Overall I think this server is going to be interesting all together, offering a unique experience of role play and people that aren't running around griefing causing chaos that isn't needed.
What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: Honorcraft was really my main server for a long time, I left only when forced to the server was shut down because the owners were too lazy to run it any longer. A tekkit server because I like the confusion and satisfaction of figuring the big puzzle of machinery out, left because I mastered the plugin and felt tired of it. ThePlauge, it was a great server with the zombie spawn rate jacked way up mainly focused completely on role playing an apocalypse. They shut down due to lack of funds for payment. I have jumped through a lot of servers that didn't acquire to my liking because they were very unorganized and really had the sole purpose of survival and that was it. I like role playing servers because it doesn't just offer becoming able to survive without any lasting objective even if your the richest person on the game of minecraft your characters life still rolls on.

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.):
Thogar was an adventurous little dwarf always causing havoc in his village. He one time grabbed a pickaxe from the armory and went into a cave without any permission what so ever, Luckily one of the elder dwarfs spotted him scaling the side of the cave and went right to his side. His father was a miner in the town's mine so that's where the inspiration came from to run into a cave. Sadly dwarves favor explosives and chaotic mining. His father was killed in a cave in, the explosives were incorrectly placed. This left him and his mother to take care of each other. His mother was a baker in the village supplying food to the rest of the dwarves so they were holding up, food was always in demand in the village with lots of miners and little hunters.
Thogar became a miner at the age of 105 and was very good at it, right from the start he became very dedicated and successful. From there on his mother and him became quite wealthy due to a very lucky find of seven diamonds encrusted in the earths core. This find happened very luckily though, He had gotten lost in a cave he discovered off the main mine of the town. For days though he had been gone, no sign of his survival had hit the village until a friend of the family went down into the mine and found a cave completely lit up. The man didn't wander in though as he most likely would have been left for dead in the depths of the great deep cave as well. Around the ninth day of him being gone he came crawling on his knees out of the mine, weak and starving his mother nursed him back to health. Not until later did his mother open the bag left upon his back to find seven sparkling diamonds, her exited yelps had awoken him and he too remembered his great find in the cave, When the other villagers responding yelps ran into the house they stopped dead just staring into the sparkling diamonds. The village was mostly un-wealthy people so precious gems like this were a sight unseen. This left them wealthy enough to not need him to mine ( really his mother didn't want him returning to the mines). She continued to work as she was one of the 3 suppliers of food in the village.
Quite a few years had gone by, His mother was old and he was caring for her now. Still he hadn't taken up mining again following her wishes of him staying away from the cursed mines that almost took him away from her. Though age wasn't the reason of him taking care of her, she was sick with some strange disease that couldn't be diagnosed by even the finest doctor in the capital city of the land. She had eventually passed from life moving on to the spiritual realms of life. He grieved for weeks on end, pulling himself together he moved on to another village in Asulon, as most of his childhood acquaintances had also left. He had taken back his loved occupation though, He became a miner once again united with his pickaxe that had been stripped from his grasp. Others in this new village were amazed at the skill he held with the pickaxe, he never once made a mistake with it, some people swore that the thing was part of his arm, a part of him. His 293 year old self leaping across the most dangerous of caves while others simply stood in absolute horror and amusement. Minerals wouldn't go unmined so long as he was around, Also though when he was in his old village from the age of 112 to 140 he cut down trees with some of the other dwarves so he was experienced in that to. Nothing compared to his mining though which he loved greatly.So now after mining for years he remains at the age of 273 he still has a long life to live.

Responses
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?
He approaches them in a vulgar manner and says " Leave em alone you damned cowards" , They turn around and say "you better mind your own business or your next" from there he removes his sharp pick axe from his back and pursues the men. To his surprise the way he presented himself, skillfully removing the weapon of choice from his back startled them and they realized he was more of a threat to them.
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?
Thogar approaches the man closer and asks " May I ask what yer best pickaxe costs" , The man looked as if he was thinking for the moment being, "2650 minea's " says the merchant. Thogar makes a disgruntled noise and says "For that price I could buy a whole stall", The merchant turns and says "Then go buy your stall and move along from mine". Thogar gets really angry but restrains himself from hitting the man out cold right there as the guards would have taken action.
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?:
He looks through the items inside the chest, so badly he wants to take them all and walk away due to the lack of supplies in the past times. Greed is not one of his many attributes though so as much as he could use these items he steps back, makes a slight un-restful sound and continues his adventure.
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?
" Ello lad I am in a tight situation here, I have lost my way in the forests and have gained quite the appetite". The fisherman raises one eyebrow as he looks at Thogar. " Well I suppose I could give you some of our fish, as long as afterwords you do a task or two to help out the village. Thogar looks at the man with an impressed expression and says " Well I might be able to help ye out". The man returns in a relaxed expression and thinks to himself, " Wow usually the dwarfs are a little bit harder to bargain with then this one". " Well he says your task will be clearing out some of the trees over there so we can build another shack for our people". Thogar returns with the statement, " Done deal lad, I be havin the trees cleared in two days time".
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?:
Thogar has a taste for some combat, So he approaches the captain of the town guard and says, " I ere ya lads be needin some assistance with some thiefs". The captain says " Well Thogar our run ins haven't been the best lately with your fighting but we could use that craving for combat against them" . Thogar now says " Good then how much ya be payin for this help", the captain replies with " Well we are a bit short of funds right now so all i can offer is a hundred minea's". Thogar makes a thoughtful sigh and says " Well its something and I could use any income right about now". And as he promised he helped the men rid the area of the bandits and received his payment.
