Plasma

The simplest section of the application! Simply answer these questions so we can get to know you a bit better.

What’s your Minecraft Account Name?: - __Plasma__  (With two underscores on each side)

How old are you?: - 17

What time-zone do you live in?: - United States, Eastern Standard (UTC -5)

Have you ever roleplayed before - if you have, how?: - Yes, I've been Roleplaying for approximately six years now through multiple mediums such as Dungeons & Dragons, Forum-based RP(this is where I acquired a decent creative writing ability, and Forum Roleplaying remains my favorite kind of RP), as well as In-Game RP on Runescape, and Minecraft. However, I do not server-hop so when I join an RP server on Minecraft I tend to stick to it for a very long time. I've only ever Roleplayed on Rise of King's.

Have you been on any other roleplaying servers?: - Rise of King's.

Have you applied to this server before?(Please link past applications): - Yes, I believe so however it was so very long ago I don't want to bother digging through a year's worth of applications. I believe in a fresh start.

How did you hear about us?: - LotC is mentioned by a lot of players because well... It's so well-known. That's how I heard of LotC, from other players.

What do you think the server will be like? - Laid back and relaxed, but with decent RP and lots of interest spurring conflict. I don't plan on putting serious time into RP as I'm caught up with school, so I can't exactly say much of what I'm hoping for. I just look forward to RP'ing with my friends.

Have you read and agreed to the rules?: - Yes, I have read and I agree with all the rules. However, I probably am going to look through them again because well... Skimming. Haha.

What’s your favourite rule / the rule you agree with the most?: - I am fond of the rule that allows characters to only be fatally wounded instead of permanently killed, but VA's allow you to do so! I like the fact that no one's invincible, but at the same time it's unlikely you'll be losing your characters on a daily basis to the average person.

Definitions

This is simply so that we can get an understanding of how much you know about roleplaying. Feel free to Google the answers, but make sure that you write the reply in your own words, not another website / person's!

What is roleplaying?: - Roleplaying is a game or hobby thing where a person or player creates their own character and plays/acts as them through a fictional setting in a game. It's almost like a big interactive book where people are real-time writing their own stories with their character.

What’s metagaming?: -  few examples would be like if a player sees a nametag through a wall and uses that to their advantage by having their character instantly know where the other character is. Also using something you hear in skype, team-speak, or through global chat then they use it to an advantage that your character would not normally have or know about.

What’s powergaming?: - Power-gaming is something that ruins Roleplay for everyone. It's like when someone plays an invincible character that can't be killed, overcoming every obstacle and challenge that faces you, or doing something completely impossible like scaling a twenty story building in heavy armor no problem. I don't see why people even Power-game in the first place, it's not fun. A game without any challenges is a terrible game, so why make yourself so unbeatable? It's stupid.

Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): - 
 

Valkyr Silverheart was the last son of his family, the
Silverheart's; the youngest and surprisingly the smallest of tall siblings. He
had three sisters and two older brothers who were unusually "treated
better". The Silverheart family, despite their uniquely wealthy name, were
nothing close to that of nobility. The Silverhearts were a family with history
as renowned artisans, or otherwise known as exceptional wood carvers and
carpenters. Despite that though, they weren't known very well in the North or
even Abresi at that.

 

Valkyr's father was a burly, tall man with deep ancestral
roots in the Northerners - Much like every other true son of Oren. Valkyr's
father, Horvar, served in Oren’s military several times throughout his
long-lived life. Eventually though, Horvar was thrown out for misconduct and
drunken brawling. However, any man of the North loves a strong drink and even a
few strong punches in a fight - But, it had gotten a little out of hand!

 

Like Valkyr's father, he was adorned with lighter and lively
features. He had dainty ash brown hair, sharpness to his jaw and nose and
cheeks, pale lips, and funny ears. But, his mother had born him with her
darker, more outgoing features to contrast... Stormy gray eyes, a shy tan birthmark
on his collarbone, and broad shoulders.

 

As Valkyr grew older, he grew more reserved. Valkyr's eldest
brother had left the family early in Valkyr's life for a more adventurous
purpose, removing his childhood hero fairly early on. To add to that, Valkyr's
mother was unusually hard on him and judgmental. Her strictness and cruelty
grew from a young age in Valkyr's life, even leading to violence and crude
beatings often. Valkyr's siblings simply stood idly by with an impartial
feeling while their youngest brother was abused. The way Valkyr saw it, he was
treated correctly as if his mother did nothing wrong. Horvar didn't help the
cause with his often drinking and alcoholic problems, followed by violent
outbursts.

 

While Valkyr's oldest brother may have abandoned the family,
and his second brother wasn't around much after enlisting into Oren’s forces,
Valkyr's sisters stayed around the house often to help around with things and
other relations with the family. His sisters were rather shy, but got attention
to the family often due to their attractiveness. Valkyr despised the attention,
and was never a huge fan of such inappropriate behavior...

 

At one point in Valkyr's life shortly before he was a
teenager, the young Valkyr had witnessed something that shifted his ambitions
through his life. While it can arguably be said that Valkyr shared an unusual
amount of beatings as well as bullying outside of his family, he felt that the
physical drilling was acceptable. That it only made him a stronger man... That
view changed slightly when he saw another man whom fancied his mother, hit her.

 

Upon that time in his childhood, things changed. He suddenly
grew much more hard on himself, and spiteful. Valkyr was especially protective
of his mother. Witnessing her being hit was something that pushed him to a new
level of physical drilling. Valkyr no longer put up with the bullying outside
of his family, and helped combat this with strenuous physical conditioning and
labor. Despite Valkyr's small stature, he built a strong figure. One that could
withstand the beatings, and fight back. Valkyr wasn't necessarily the most
attractive young man, but this didn't help while making him much more
intimidating - And he almost always wore a scowl.

 

Valkyr eventually settled things with the man that hit his
mother, but it likely wasn't the way you would be thinking. His compromise was
calm, and lacked any violence with the now sober man who assaulted Valkyr's
mother. Valkyr's mother passed away shortly before he had settled his personal
things with the man, and his father soon after... Most likely because of liver
failure due to the constant consumption of alcohol.

 

The Silverheart’s fell apart soon after that, and descended
into the unknown. Valkyr's sisters had married prominent men and adopted their
name, and his brothers passed without Valkyr's knowing in conflict. This was
the conclusion to the fall of the Silverheart family.

 

At an older age close to the current setting, Valkyr set out
to plant the Silverheart heels back into the world. Not... In a repopulating
way, but in the means of making himself something more than he was at the time.
Valkyr frequently took cart trips and traveled with trade caravans around the
city’s of the Northerners; seeking and learning from a young scholar to read
and write, and using that newfound skill to acquire as much knowledge on the
world as possible. Throughout this time, Valkyr grew more independent and...
Rebellious. He didn't have a family to worry about anymore, as they were the
only he really cared for, and so Valkyr sought out to think for himself more.

 

Eventually, when finding employment had proven itself to be
a difficult feat, Valkyr decided to adventure into Malinor first in search of
wonder and riches… Acting as a conman and trying to develop ways to scam a few
Dark Elves who gave him trouble a few times while he did his time adventuring
with the merchant caravans.

 

But instead of gaining anything from scamming the Dark
Elves, a particular group of them who recognized him tricked Valkyr in a small gambling
match… It was only a friendly trick though, and after getting to know the
group, Valkyr found himself tagging along with them. They were friendly enough,
right? At least this was what Valkyr hoped. He dropped being a conman and
decided to travel with them until he found a greater purpose. And Malus, the
seemingly leader of the little band of Dark Elves, reluctantly allowed Valkyr
into the group…

 

Valkyr is now 19 years of age. This is his story, and it is
starting now.

 

What are they like (personality)?: - Valkyr while very shy in some cases is a little out of it. He's very easily distracted and thus easily impressed and/or excited. He never had much of friends, cliche' I know, but since he never did he quickly becomes loyal with those he does view as "friends". Other than that, Valkyr is friendly at most times to strangers but... Like said, he's definitely an odd one.

 

There isn't much more to say.

What are their ambitions?: - None, other than to find a purpose.

Do they have any special skills?: - Valkyr has no skills other than in fletching/carving/witling. There is nothing more to say than that, Valkyr isn't a jack of trades, he isn't much of anything. He's just... That guy, you know.

What are their weaknesses?: - Basic stuff. Phobia of spiders, can't swim, isn't a fan of the dark, isn't incredibly fast or strong, has a poor sense of smell, et cetera. Valkyr has quite a lot of weaknesses, but his best would be how incredibly amusing he is at times and his ability to get out of sticky situations just by his words.

Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: - A brief description of Valkyr's appearance can be found in the bare-bones uncreative bio! xD

 

Valkyr is short, standing a few inches shorter than two meters, but his build is lean and, despite the broad shoulders, slender. His features are defined with a sharp jawline and chin, full lips, and an acutely angled nose that didn't quite set right after being broken one or two times. His eyebrows are angular, an infamous part of Valkyr's scowls, and his pale stormy eyes are nearly the only thing that lightens his features.

 

That's about it... Sorry for the sloppy response, I'm used to much longer applications and much more detailed characters, but I'm trying to leave some room to flesh Valkyr out more. And I'm trying to be as laid back as possible.
 

Anything else you want to say about them?: - I understand the character is very basic, and not very creative, but that is because I want to play this kind of character. I'm interested in Valkyr a lot and I really look forward to playing him with all his quirks and flaws. I hope it doesn't hurt my chances of getting approved because of my character design.

 

You get what I mean.
