Mr_Kurtis

Just before I start this off, I messaged Haelphon for permission to post an hour early. Thanks. Out-Of-Character Minecraft Account Name: Mr_Kurtis How old are you?: 14 Time-Zone/Country of Residence: United States, standard pacific time. Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes. Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: Very dedicated to Minecraft, fairly social outgoing person. I can follow directions very easily if needed to and I am a great listener. Also, I can solve altercations between players to prevent a lot of drama. I also have great respect for staff and my authorities. How much time could you be on the server weekly?: 20+ hours. What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Role playing is pretending to be something you are a not in a world where anything is possible. Also, making your character a unique and divine player that can take on any challenge no matter what it is. What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I've played on past roleplaying servers and i've grasped the concept well. In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-Gaming is using OOC knowladge IC, the most common form of Meta is using the little box with your MC name to see where they are or who they are. Meta is extremly RP destroying, and ruins the fun. For example. if someone in OOC chat said "I just got a diamond sword!" And in the game you see him and are about to duel him you remember him saying he had a diamond sword, and you run away because you know he has a diamond sword even though he hasn't pulled it out yet. In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: If you make your character overly powerful with wild and crazy magic, or if you quickly block of a path with leafs to block people from escaping. Another act of powergaming is not giving the other person time to react to your actions. Though from what I've heard powergaming is most often present in RP fights because there are no rules about RP fighting so it mostly ends up with one part accusing the other of powergaming. The reasons why this isn't allowed on the server is because it totally ruins the experience for all of the other players. The reason why it ruins the game play for other players is mostly because nobody thinks it's fun to have absolutely no time to react to another player's attacks. What do you expect this server will be like?: Very challenging with a nice friendly community considering the fact that you must write out an application just to get into the server. I hope and expect the staff will be very helpful, along with the players. Also, I think it will be a VERY dedicated roleplaying server. What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I've played on many servers. Faction, roleplaying, survival and creative. Out of all of them I enjoy roleplaying the most but I seriously can't stand the fact that in most roleplaying servers none of the people are in character, that's why I left. I enjoy faction servers also because you get to work as a team to overcome the other players. Building up your kingdom to the top really excites me. 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, always. How did you hear about us? Did someone refer you?: My friend Jacob, he plays on the server. Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?: Yes, here it is. It would of gotten accepted but I posted to early. http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/55056-mr-kutris-4th-application/ Have you posted this application on our minecraft forum thread yet? If not, just finish it up on here and then copy + paste is over there. (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/832121-%E2%96%91%E2%96%92%E2%96%93-the-lord-of-the-craft-%E2%96%93%E2%96%92%E2%96%91-enter-the-world-of-asulon-o-f-f-i-c-i-a-l-l-y-t-h-e-n-o-1-r-p-s-e-r-v-e-r/): Yes, I will again.

This must include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Dropping birds from their branches atop trees, twelve year old Hargan aimed his slingshot anything that could satisfy his dreams of being the best shot, aim, and target within the whole nation of Malinor. He was mostly in the woods, alone because there wasn't many elf children to play with. Training his eye at anything that moved, darted and shot around the fields of his fathers farm, he had the mark of a master by the time he was the fresh age of sixteen. However, his physical strength was little to best. For his seventeenth birthday his father gave him a hunter's bow, with his new bow and mark's eye he brought down his first game. When he shot the cow, a burst of excitement exploded inside of him, he knew he had accomplished something great, he took the cow’s leather and meat, he then went to the market and sold the leather for a nice profit, Hargan had officially made his first Minas without having his father ask him to a simple household chore, Hargan had killed his first game.

Hargan sets his eyes on a movement in the distance. The fresh snow falls to the ground with the shift of a branch, about 16 yards from the bush he hides behind. The movement shifted into the shape of two men. They shouted from the distance, “Give us the bow and equipment now!” The men began chasing towards Hargan. Turning his back, he ran the opposite of the two men, his breath growing heavier with each fierce footstep into the snow. The men began to catch up to him, now with in five yards, Hargan's mind races wondering why he is being chased and who by. The short distance between cat and mouse soon did not matter as Hargan rolls his ankle falling into the piercing cold snow. They are soon stripping Hargan from all his belongings, left to die in the murderous cold, Hargan is struck atop his head and all began to become dark. Waking up, frozen to the point of numbness, Hargan questions, how long he'd been asleep, why and how he ended up like this, then remembered the most important question, "where is shelter?" Hargan struggles to lift his black and blue five foot and eight inch tall body from the ground, like a broken tree beaten and tattered by both man and weather. Hargan sought out a cave where he quickly started a fire, regaining strength he sits there in silence for many hours , thinking about the men's faces and how he is going to find them in the future, with hopes that this coming time, the odds will be in his favor.

Open-Response-Questions 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? As Hargan approached the warriors harassing the halfling he shouts out, "What is the meaning of this!" The Warriors laugh because of Hargan's size, "None of your business elf." Hargan raises his voice a bit higher, I will ask again, "Why are you harassing this Halfling?" The Warriors, are now getting angry, as one of the two steps closer to Hargan, "Once again, it's none of your business." Hargan has had enough and he draws his bow out menacingly, "Let the halfling go, now." The Warrior pulls his sword out and challenges Hargan. Hargan agrees and quickly readies an arrow in his quiver, he shoots directly at the Warriors foot not to kill him, but immobilize him, the first shot misses and the arrow bounces away, the Warrior charges at Hargan and attempts to tackle him, Hargan pivots to the left and knocks another arrow in his quiver, he aims for the Warrior leg this time, he released the arrow and hit the warrior in the leg, the warrior fell over and laid there screaming in pain. He wasn't getting up. Hargan turns and faces to the other Guard. The guard still has the halfling. Suddenly, about 10 halflings are attacking the guard, Hargan chuckles and walks over to make sure the guard doesn't draw his weapon. The Halfling and his friends thank Hargan for all of his assistance. 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? As Hargan walk's into Alras he knows there's going to be a lot of merchant's around offering him goods, he ignored them for the most part but for some reason one merchant's voice caught his ear. The merchant says, "'ello there, what can I do for you today?" Hargan scans the merchant's good's and a very nice bow catches his eye. Hargan only has 50 Minas though and the bow cost's a 100. Hargan can tell by this man's pockets that he indeed has money to spare. Hargan tries to haggle the price down, he got it to 80 Minas but no less. Hargan try to sell him some arrows and apples but the Merchant isn't interested. Hargan walks away empty - handed, maybe another day when he returns he might get the bow. 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?: Hargan approaches the hut and for a split second in his mind he instantly think of the bandits that attacked him just because of the looks of the house, although it didn't look disturbed he still had that though. Hargan tiptoed into the house and inspected the chest for anything else, he had no need for the items in there and he wasn't a thief. There was zero need for any of the items in the chest, he preferred an honest living anyways. 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? As Hargan is slowly walking through the forest, weak because of his hunger he finds a bit of hope when he see's the trading camp about 100 feet ahead, he tries to pick up the pace a bit but he is weak, very weak. As he finally makes it to the camp he begs the traders for some food, "Please sir, i'm on the verge of death..." The trader looking very worried says, "Get this Elf some food, hurry!" The other traders give him pork until he cant eat anymore. Hargan thanks them greatly and spends the rest of the night there. In the morning his first thought is to just leave but he is very grateful that they gave him some food, he decides to leave 20 Minas where he slept and he continues on his way. 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?:At first Hargan is hesitant, he will always be a little fearful of bandits because of when he got attacked. After he gets over it he decides to help, he decided that if he's lucky maybe one of the bandit's will be there. They give him and a few others some equipment to help defeat the bandit's, as they are going out to the bridge he starts to get a bit scared, none the less they finally encountered the bandits. The head guard calls out, "We demand you leave, NOW!" The Bandit's chuckle and stand there ground. The Guard orders Hargan, the guards and all the other Volunteers to advance forward, Hargan isn't a fool though and he stays in the back. The Bandits engage in fighting and Hargan starts shooting, his first couple of shots miss and the Guards are losing lives, Hargan knocks an arrow into hi quiver, takes a breath and shoots, he hits a bandit directly in the forehead. Suddenly the Guards are pushed back, it happens so fast Hargan is trampled over, he recovers as quickly as possible but a bandit swung a sword and hit Hargan in the leg, Hargan screams out in pain as one of the guard quickly comes back to kill the bandit and carry Hargan away, one he is back behind the line of battle he starts to get himself up, Hargan is angry and want's revenge, he's sick and tired of Bandit's injuring him. He knocks an arrow into his quiver and aims for the first Bandit in sight, he releases the arrow and hits the bandit right in the achilles tendon. He drops in pain. The guards have flipped the numbers by now and start to push the Bandit's back, killing them while doing so. The Guards have successfully retaken the bridge. Hargan takes his pay and continues on his way.
