DfiantAngel

Hey so i was in the process of making this application and the links I was using was giving me a 404 error. I posted this here assuming this is where it needs to go. I apologize if that's not the case. Anyway, here is my application. Hope you like it. =) Out-Of-Character Information 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?: - DfiantAngel How old are you?: - 23 What time-zone do you live in?: - Central Have you ever roleplayed before - if you have, how?: - Yes, I have played on this server once before and I have done a global LARP of various White Wolf campaigns. Have you been on any other roleplaying servers?: - Just this one Have you applied to this server before?(Please link past applications): - http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/57831-tyrian-darkwood/#entry450906 How did you hear about us?: - From previous play. What do you think the server will be like? – I am curious how it has evolved, and I am excited to get another opportunity to try it out. Have you read and agreed to the rules?: - Yes What’s your favourite rule / the rule you agree with the most?: - I am extremely opposed to meta-gaming. Character knowledge should be just that, anything else really does a disservice to the story at hand. 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 taking a created backstory on a fabricated character, and essentially living it out in the present as the character would; interacting with the world and others around you based on character experiences and character goals. What’s metagaming?: - Metagaming is essentially stepping outside of character knowledge, skill, and history and using player knowledge, skill, and strategy. Doing or knowing things that the character is simply incapable to do is Metagaming. Hearing of a location or event ooc and then proceeding to explore it is acting as if the character is just wandering aimlessly or addressing someone by name without ever hearing it are examples of breaches into the meta. What’s powergaming?: - Powergaming… or Min-maxing is players with the intent of just becoming strong outside of RP purposes. Players that decide to be the biggest and baddest guy on campus without roleplay worthy experiences are examples of players that power game. Players that max out their sword strength without training or rp combat experience are not excluded by avid power gamers. When I play, I want to have my stats justify and reinforce the experiences my character came from. In-Character Information Now you actually make your character - be creative but stay reasonable! Make sure they make sense and that they follow lore. Try to come up with a character that you actually want to play. What’s your character called?: - Aranor Nightoak What race are they (and sub-race)?: - Wood Elf What sex are they?: - Male How old are they?: - 27 Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): - Aranor was born into the world in the town of Ager. With only his mother to care for him since birth, she claimed work where she could, using her varied talents as a contracted farmhand. When work was scarce, she would turn to more seedy dealings such as prostitution and thievery so that little Aranor was fed and clothed. Such a life caught up with the poor woman, and the tragic life she led placed her in danger. Desperate for currency, she ventured deep into the Holy Oren Empire in an attempt to steal from a noble family, only to be caught by the guard. Fear had overwhelmed her at the moment of her capture, and she fought back, brandishing a rusted dagger against the guardsmen. The idea of spending her days in a cell while her child starved forced her into action, but she was not skilled enough to overwhelm trained swordsmen. She was dealt with a deep fatal wound, and Aranor was seemingly abandoned. He too turned to a life of petty crime, stealing crops and merchant goods to quench his hunger. His lack of skill led to his ultimate capture, where he was flogged and detained for his actions. A passing guard looked upon him curiously, seeing a keen resemblance to female wood elf his blade struck down. As if compelled by supernatural means, the man begged the convicted street rat for forgiveness, detailing the events that transpired the night of her death. The story opened Aranor’s eyes to the world. Of all the emotions he felt, pity was the most evident. He looked at the guard with disgust but realized that the image of his lifeless mother was still vivid in the memory of the man before him. He felt pity for him, and his mother, who failed to do what she could for her child. Aranor’s pity fell internally, learning that he ended up following in his mother’s footsteps, steps he believed to be taken out of rejection as opposed to desperation. The young elf was thusly reformed, and lived a different life upon leaving Oren’s cells. What are they like (personality)?: - Aranor, is a curious, young, and unknowing wood elf. He has little experience outside Ager and the Oren empire. Interest and apprehension would be his typical reactions to the world around him. What are their ambitions?: - Aranor desires a life outside of the slums. His goal of leading a life both different and fulfilling motivates him to explore and learn where he could make his mark. Do they have any special skills?: - Aranor is a master of observation. Like a sponge, he will absorb the new and strange around him interoperating its desire or splendor. Anything and anyone alien will catch his eye, and he will study it at a distance quite thoroughly. What are their weaknesses?: - Aranor is not yet a scholar, a fighter, or a silver tongued devil. His early days will be quite hard on him. Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: - Olive skin, green eyes, crimson hair, dark thin clothing and scarf. Anything else you want to say about them?: - His notoriety as a petty thief and his time in jail would make him recognizable to veteran guards of Oran, a thing I would have to inform them if they confront me. Please give us a screenshot of your character’s skin: - Fantastic, there you go. No need to write any more - simply post this on our forums (and on MinecraftForum like it says above) and wait!

~Holm Military Application~ Name: Tyrian Darkwood MC Name: DfiantAngel Age: 157 Race: Darf Elf/ Wood Elf (noticably dark elf) Profession: Blacksmith, Swordsman and self proclaimed scholar Skills: 99 blacksmithing 99 swords Military Experience (If any): Was A ranger of Normandor before joining Holm and had been a soldier of Holm since. Other Information you would like to share: I am merely attempting to confirm my continued position in the Holm military. Please inform me if there is more I must do before continuing my post.

*Gets a little flustered before turning and reading what was inscribed. Ah, Cael! I am sorry, was just expecting to have my request ignored, I had not bothered to look over your shoulder as you wrote. Forgive me, my name is Tyrian. I have taken much interest in the fields of magic, anatomic racial studies, and botany. I have yet to be an expert in these fields though, which is why I am glad to have your company. I look forward to your lecture if you end up choosing to give one."

*Smiles at the mans response. He stands up from where he sat and reaches out to shake his hand. "Thank you for this. I believe that this will be quite a learning experience. Let me know what I can do for you. And by the way, what is your field of expertise, mr..?

*Tyrian responds to Cael's proud statement in kind.* "I did not mean to sound as if I believe the wise and knowledgeable are incapable of possessing physical prowess. This is a mere offering of what I can do for you. Besides my sword, my own wisdom and company is what I have to offer. If it is coin you desire, I may be able to pay, though I would price such an opportunity at quite a high stake. Sir, if you could do me this kindness, I would be indepted to you for assisting me in becoming a fellow man of intellect." *Tyrian continues to carry a look of earnest and sincerity as he look to Cael for a response.

Tyrian* sees the note and makes a quick reply. "I will be at cloud temple with your books in a few days journey" ((about 2.5 hours)) *Tyrian smiles after leaving his letter. Perhaps I may yet make some allies today. ((sorry its so rushed =] via phone))

*Tyrian attempts to start a conversation to those who begin to write their letters infront of the sign. He gazes at the stranger earnestly* "Perhaps you would be willing to have an amateur scholar accompany you to the event? I do have quite the sword arm and could defend you if necessary. Its... just that I am not yet a scholar by title. Please, I would very much enjoy attending and seeing the prowess of the current minds of this generation." *He pleads to the individuals with such tenacity. His crimson eyes sparkle with pure desire and intrigue*

Well I... uh... I must say I have never been to one, but it sounds like it is a sort of event involving lectures and exchanges in scientific findings. Tyrian starts to look a little flustered, unsure as to how to give the word its true justice.

*Tyrian lets go of his bread chuckling at the familiar face. He looks her over a little, quite surprised at how quick she had grown.* "Ah, well... It just talks about a gathering of scientists and scholars. They plan to have a convention of sorts. I'm actually looking to see if I could speak to one who may be interested in attending. Why are you here, anyway?" *He pulls out another loaf from his bag, attempting to sate his hunger." {{Feel free to join in if you want, really hoping to speak with a scientist or scholar. =X}}

ooc: Tyrian is a Dark Elf with Crimson eyes and pale white hair. His complexion is a little more pigmented than most of his race, as a cause of the sun's constant influence and his mother being a Wood Elf. His clothing is quite new, satuated in a deep dark violet. His torso and his shoulders are clad in a dark metal, etched into the robe, lined out with gold. On his belt lays a well cut diamond, that matches the one on his circlet, which is mostly draped over with an open hood. His entire ensemble appears to be made by a blacksmith nearing the peak of his craft and in ample supply of inks. *Tyrian takes a gander at the flyer, gazing over its contents curiously. He smiles and attempts to wait for one who may show interest in the event in question. Taking a seat by the sign, he rests calmly, pulling a loaf of bread out of his sachel before chowing it down.* "Perhaps this is the moment I have been waiting for... We'll see what happens." *Tyrian speaks softly to himself and takes a large bite out of his bread. He chews on it slowly as he looks about for any who may approach the sign* ooc: =3 Hope someone would be interested. XD didn't want to force an RP.

Hey! I wanna get some advice. I put about an hour into the Library and kinda started taking it to the Nth degree. XD I am basically taking the Pantheon and sculpting it to the architecture I have seen around Holm for the library design. All I really have done is the front and the perimeter, but I figured the entrance would make it or break it. So, I wanted opinions, pointers and to know whether or not I should revamp the idea all together. My issue is there is only so much one can do to a flat wall, and I am trying to work with the elements I already had in play. The dark wood roofing is a good color change with the brick, but it looks too solid. I'm thinking of slapping a holm flag there or something. As for the interior, that little building is supposed to act as a medieval kiosk that sells books. It has access on both sides, so people could purchase books whether they are just entering or if they are already inside. The carpet Is going to visually divide the library only meeting at the line of division. I figured it would be a nice way to incorporate some of Holm's colors. I plan to have two floors worth of shelving, all following the outer walls. In the middle will be a little indoor garden with a massive tree that scales most of the building's height. In terms of block measurements, the circle I used has a radius of 20, so 40 length and width for that. so so far I am pretty much working within 55x40. The size was another thing i was worried about but I wanted to give Holm a really nice landmark of sorts. Anyways! I look forward to hear what you all have to say. Click here for the images

Void that. XD ill work some ideas on the library and stuff to add for the Redstone college.

If you guys need ooc designs I can work on some stuff for it. Is there anything you guys need designed that you don't have an idea for?

Tyrian emerges from a hole in the ground soon after the earthquake subsided. His clothes and hair were filthy, drenched in dirt and fine rubble. After climbing out of the crumbling tomb, he looks up to the sky, breathing in the fresh air. His gaze then fell to the houses around him, studying the damage done from the earlier tremors. With a contented sigh, a smile turns to his face. "It is good to know that the destruction of Holm was averted. I can take solice in that." Quite fatigued he turns to the bath house, walking quite slowly to its refreshing waters.

((OOC Information - Minecraft Name: DfiantAngel Age: 22 Timezone: Central Villain Application (Optional): Skills: 99 Swords 99 Blacksmith 53 Farm RP Information -)) Full Name: Tyrian Darkwood Age: 141 Race: Dark Elf Gender: Male Profession: Accomplished Blacksmith and hunter A brief description about yourself: For most of my years, I had lived deep in the wild forests of Malinor with only my mother. The whole world since has been a new experience. I had only known how to hunt, gather, and make shelter. However, since I had stepped out of the trees and lived among the people, I quickly learned many things. There is so many grand and wondrous things I had come to treasure. Literature, architecture, art, civilization... these things struck a cord deep within my being. Then I saw the evils that plague this world and its people. People are driven to war with one another, and schemers plot in the shadows. Former allies take up arms, and cities are burned to the ground. This was when I decided I had to protect the places I loved from such evils. I did so in Normandor, capital of the Princedom of Malinor, but corruption had spread to those in power. After seeing High Commander Darion slay an unarmed man in the streets, I went to arrest him, only to be stopped by the High Princess. I left to collect my thoughts in hopes to find the courage and the loyalty within myself to continue as the city's guard. Alas, upon my return, I came back to see Darion, as well as his close followers, ruling the people as Princes. More atrocities occurred under their reign, and my rise among ranks was stunted. The land that won my heart was no longer the land I swore to protect. It was then I ventured to Holm with my very close friend. Igne spoke so kindly of your city, and everyone here as treated me so kindly. It is because of this that I want to protect the kind people of Holm, and I am willing to pledge my life to that duty.
