Out-Of-Character
Minecraft Account Name: kaiser_czar
How old are you?: 19
Time-Zone/Country of Residence: EST (GMT - 4), U.S.A
Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I do; however, I enjoy using quirky phrases that few others employ. Example: I’m American, but I say “aye” and “bloody” a lot.
Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I’m not what you see in the typical gamer: I still believe that there are honor and gentlemenship to be found on the internet; so, that’s the way you’ll see me acting. I like to think of myself as an intellectual of sorts, and I take pride in being different from most. I will say that I am a bit fickle on things, and will float around a bit; that is sometimes manifested as large projects (let’s say I’m also very ambitious) going uncompleted, but I fight it.
How much time could you be on the server weekly?:
It’s really uncertain; I work odd hours a security guard, which means some days I’ll be off, and some days I’ll work 13 hours in a row. Obviously, Minecraft can only be during off times. Also, I do play other games. When I do play, it will often be for a few hours, but daily presence is not expected. So, in essence, I’d say 3-4 hours a week, or so.
What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you:
Honestly, little to nothing. To me, it involves getting more in tune with what your character would be in game, rather than simply being the external person playing.
What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?:
Truly? Not really anything at all. I’ve played RPGs before, but none in which I was “roleplaying”. Perhaps it’s time to try it out, aye?
In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is:
MG is using outside influences on your character that, within storyline, cannot logically be. Example: Using information gathered from the forums.
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is:
PE, to me, is using RPing to force others into decisions they might not make themselves. Example: Forcing another to drink from a poisoned drink, not allowing them to react or defend themselves.
What do you expect this server will be like?:
I’ve heard many good things from friends who have played here. I have looked for a RPG-esq server, but not necessarily an RP one. So, it’s a bit of an experiment.
What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: Oh man, what a history. I joined Minecraft in early, early June 2009; floated around to a bunch of different servers. The first one I played any length of time on was the Stargate Freebuild, which was a classic server I co-ran with a guy named Goober. Then, after floating around a bit more, I settled on a combination of Dysgalt’s D3 and Jacob’s CTF, with a few excursions to Spadge’s RP (the first server to implement limited blocks). I stuck with the D3 community nonstop from there out in classic, alternating between those servers. When we moved to SMP, we took our admin team over to lead the Official Steam Group server, MCSteamed, which I still sometimes play on. When I’m feeling creatively inclined, I build on the McBlocks Creative server. On both, I am ranked fairly high in the heirarchy. On neither am I planning to quit to play on LotC; however, I don’t have a good RP style server in my repertoire. That is why I am applying here.
Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?:
Yes.
Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules:
On my word, aye.
How did you hear about us?:
Through Roze, a good friend from back in the day at Dysgalt’s D3 classic server. He wanted to temporarily enlist my building skills, but I figured “why not just fully apply?”.
Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?:
No.

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.):
Kai Roze is of full human blood, born to his father, Mason Roze, and his mother, Alexandria Roze. Born with sun-bleached brown hair and blue eyes, during the warmest of seasons, the Suns Smile, within a distant desert settlement. Being brought up in areas very harsh and with a distant relation with his parents, Kai had to learn to survive by himself. Self teaching him self defence with polearms and daggers; he’s on the path of becoming a disciplined defender.
Since then Kai has matured and aged; now being 27 years of age.
Kai Roze; a member of the Roze family nonetheless. A lot like his relatives, Kai is a nobleman by blood aiming to succeed and make his name for it. Traits of generosity, loyalty and leadership are expected. He enjoys his simplistic lifestyle, looking after himself and what is his. He would never be inclined to help another if it didn’t clearly help himself. A similar trait held within the Roze family.
Within the recent seasons, Kai had continued his mundane life of many miscellaneous chores and errands, balancing his act of murderous hunting and meditation to keep himself sane, he pulls through slowly becoming nothing more than a simple entity of the town. He aches to leave, however has little reasoning to.
Kai had always been in contact with his cousin, Brayden Roze, sending him letters by bird to and from. It was only of his recent years where this has stopped, leaving Kai worried. Already detached from his desert home, he travels to the mainland to seek out his cousin, hoping for the best.
What are your Character's ambitions?:
To obtain himself a new fulfilled life, travelling to hopefully meet with his cousin and the mentioned splendids that he owns. He holds his family name in his palms; something must be maintained on a personal level. So, meeting with another member of the family will only be able to encourage this.
What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):
Kai carries his defined, ornamental iron polearm across his back. An indent of a roses lays across its left side and handle. Kai had hand crafted this weapon when he was 20 upon his birth date.
What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?
Kai believes he is defined by his discipline in combat. The procedures he takes to end a life, whether a beast of the night or a wild animal, is what makes him sane and not a butcher of pointlessness. This is considered his most skilled talent as he lives by his self made rules which define him for being him.

None. (The character will develop over time; one cannot fathom every aspect by sitting down and inventing. This is an organic process.)
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?
Kai eyes the three, looking at their appearance, seeing what guild or nation they served. Kai attempts to ignore the troubles, keeping up with his striding pace so as to not get involved. Should the guards interrupt his movement, he would insist they let him continue as he has no business with their actions. He would prefer to not intervene then be have the event seen incorrectly and have himself jailed. If he was not disturbed, he would continue trying to forget what he has seen.
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?
Entering the cold lands of Alras, Kai is covered by a woolen cloak, which is fluttering from side to side in the wind. He stares the merchant directly, pausing in his steps. He shakes his head in disdain. “No single thing,” Kai states, standing in the still night air, staring up at the bland battlements that stood in a pathetic sentinel against the wilderness. “I was told to stay away from here,” Kai reassures himself, walking down the path, reminiscing upon his cousin’s detailed documents on the evils committed in Alras. Not just any documents - the history of Brayden’s.
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?:
Kai stares at the golden sword, admiring its craftsmanship. By seeing such a weapon, he immediately gained respect for the owner of such a magnificent sword. Kai had always been fascinated with exotic and masterful weapons. He ignores the rest of the containments of the chest. He shuts the chest lid, exits the hut, and finalizes by shutting the door.
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?
Kai bows his head, stating “Hello”. He continues in conversation with the group, getting to know them and their reason on living in such a unique location. Kai listens to their tales, only to be interrupted by his stomach grumbling. He lowers his head, speaking to the Elf lady sitting by the cauldron across from him “Miss, do you mind If I have a serving of your food?”. Kai smiles to her, as he lifts his head to look for her response. She responds positively and hands Kai a bowl, he continues to listen to their tales until the first light of the morning sun. Where he then says his farewells and continues on his lost travels.
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?:
Kai inquires the Guard leader upon the reasoning on why bandits would wish to attack the town, only to have nonsense spat back to him. The Guard leader had no additional reasoning past that they were ‘bandits’. Kai shakes his head in disgrace, walking back to his home to pack his essentials. He packs what he can and leaves the town for good, wondering which side of the battle would overcome their foes.
Anything else you would like to say?:
No, thank you.
