Out-Of-Character Minecraft Account Name:rh3ia How old are you?:Eleven Time-Zone/Country of Residence:UK Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?:Yes, definitely Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I play Minecraft on a daily basis, and try to download as many mods, texture packs and maps as my computer can handle. I live in Hampshire, in the UK, and my dream is to become an author- illustrator or singer-songwriter. I draw excessively and write on my computer whenever I'm not on Minecraft, and I play RPGs on my X-Box regularly, so when I discovered Lord of the Craft, I was sorted, because I was thinking about RPG servers such as this one to join!! How much time could you be on the server weekly?: I don't know, possibly every day when I'm not doing homework or doing clubs, and most time at weekends. What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Role-Playing means stepping into a game character’s shoes, playing them, acting them, as if in a play. You’ve got to make their decisions, live their life, and fight their fights. So that’s roleplaying in a nutshell. What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I only play RPGs on my DS and X-box 360, as-well as on the PC, so I bet I know at least a bit about them, and had some experience with them. For instance, I can spend weeks gaining levels for the final boss, like what I did in Fable 3, getting ready for what happens to my epic Queendom... My dad told me, so I HAD to prepare drastically! I've been doing RPGs since I was about 4, so I've had seven years’ experience, and that's most of my life! :razz: In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Sort of where the player knows something that the in-game character doesn't know, so the in-game character makes that decision that their not supposed to know about... Like what happened to me in Fable 3... In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is: It’s a bit like ‘Player1 cries to make player2 feel guilty, therefore player2 hasn’t got the guts to run away from player1’, AKA player1 is using their emotions to make player2 not do the thing they were going to do, by using power-emotes to alter their ability to do things. In your own Words, define what Out of Character (OOC) is: It's the actual player, (me for example) and if they've read a walkthrough, or watched a let’s play, they actually know things that the IC doesn't, but does the unexpected, cheated way anyway. I think I just went into the next question. Ooops. In your own Words, define what In Character (IC) is: It's the in-game character (for example, Hope The Hopeless)so as if you're the character in the actual game, not the player, who thinks as if in the game, not out of the game like an OOC (me) and knows not of any other world or a 'walkthrough'. What do you expect this server will be like?: I think, according to some YouTube videos I've watched amazing! I've also looked around Alusion as a Wandering Soul, and some of the structures I've seen are mind-blowing!!! What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: Well, because of glitches, swearers, trolls, and greifers. The only other server I'm on now is Skitscape's one, with the Hunger Games. Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yep, and I do understand them, clear as day. Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and TeamSpeak set Rules: I do How did you hear about us?: Well, I was browsing YouTube one day on July 1st this year, watching Herobine horror movies and Yogscast Shadow of Israphel, when I came across a series of Lord of the Craft videos. I was intrigued, so I watched a bunch of them, and I finally signed up! Sadly, the first time I sent my Whitelist application, it had an error and I decided to look at other servers. But I decided to come back, and after my first and second denial ages ago, I'm giving it another try! Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/64966-application/ On accident, I got the wrong version LOL that's maybe the reason I got denied. In-Character: Character Name: Hope The Hopeless What Race are you? (You may only be Human, Orc, Elf or Dwarf!) : Elf What Sub-Race are you? (Note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): Biography (Please make this at least 2 paragraphs long. This must include the history of your character and her/his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Hope was a Wood Elf, smart, pretty, ruthless. Even at a young age she was able to shoot mob’s eyes out. She had dark terracotta coloured hair, and shining jade eyes, which could track a movement in the forest quicker than it actually happened. She had a massive group of friends, and almost every day they would annoy boys by pushing them out of trees. Hope was kinda hopeless at a lot of other things, hand to hand combat, potion brewing and mining, that sort of stuff, so really she only liked using a bow, and plenty of arrows. She always had too many arrows, but her motto was- “You can never have enough arrows, you know,” She was always telling her friends who said she had too many that, and sometimes when they were exploring, Hope had no inventory space for the spoils of battle. “Always be prepared?” She murmured, as her best friend Riqet face-palmed. When she was a teenager, Hope drastically improved in sword fighting, but still she wasn’t as good as some of the other kids in her village, that was deep in the forest. It was unusual that not many travellers were coming through the forest, but really, it was okay that it was Elves and only Elves around. But Hope really wanted to adventure away from the village, to have a real adventure! After many, many years, when Hope had finally decided she’d had enough of a repetitive life, she decided that- “I’m going to leave here and go to the Cloud Temple. From there I’ll adventure the world!” “What? What if you die, or get harassed by Zombies or something?” Riqet warned, while the rest of them nodded. “Oh, that won’t happen, you know. I have too good self-awareness; you worry WAY too much, Riqet. I have a map, a compass, plenty of arrows, food for weeks, and I’ve decided to bring a sword, too, what could go wrong?” “Lots of things!! Bandits could steal your stuff, you could fall down a covered up ravine… And a lot more… But…” “But what,” Hope deviously growled, Riqet only trying to make her stay. “I am going, Riqet, I won’t die, I’ll come back soon enough, and don’t you worry your pretty little face. Toodles!” And with that, Hope’s journey begun. But still, Hope hasn’t returned to prove that she was still out there. What are your Character's ambitions?: To finally prove to Riqet that she was a born adventurer. What is your character’s favourite tool? (Sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Bow What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Being able to shoot a mob through extremely tight spaces, etc. one block. A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format, if you do not know how to acquire one, copy and paste this link into your browser: ( http://tinyurl.com/Lotcscreenshot ):[ Other Information about your Character: She enjoys C418 music, and reads romance-adventure books. Open-Response-Questions Each and every question must be answered with a minimum of a single full paragraph and entirely in RP. 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? Hope gets out her bow immediately, loads up an arrow, and aims at one of the warrior's arm, and fires. She hits him; he gets knocked back with the immense power of her shot; and as he's withering in pain, she shoots the other one as-well, letting the small Halfling escape. The warriors run away, having been insulted to the max by being beaten by a girl 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? She doesn’t want to be rude, so thinks, swords, armour, maybe some food, and finally says- "Erm... Hi. Er... can I have..." Hope stutters, she doesn't want to be rude, so she thinks of something to buy... "Can I have some arrows?" Hope can never have enough arrows, she always has to be prepared. So she buys a 64 stack of arrows, puts them into her inventory, and is on her way. She might actually need those arrows at hand someday. (:lol:) 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?: Hope doesn't bother with the sword; gold is weak and doesn’t last enough hits to be in any way useful(Only 33). She decides to take some of the iron (as Hope prefers not to mine, as she's an elf NOT a dwarf, there's a big difference.), yet leaves the rest in-case somebody actually lived there. Leaving the hut, she makes a sword, as it's all well to do snipes and distance attacks, but also needs some up close and uncomfortable combat. Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you in the common tongue, how do you respond? "Erm, I'm lost, and do you have anything to eat? Beef, mushroom stew, ANYTHING!!" Hope says, trying not to sound mad. "Of course, and we can give you directions to the next civilization if you want, it's off the West of here. We leave to there tomorrow morning. You can stay 'till then." Says one of the traders. Hope recovers her senses, and the next morning leaves, going from town to town, and eventually lands a few miles from the Cloud Temple in a small human settlement. From there she says her farewells to the travellers, and finds a map to get her way back to the Cloud Temple. 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 offers their support. How does your character act on this information?: Hope steps forward, one for the reason that a reward in Minas, or a rare material is worth it. The battle began soon after, the bandits charging forward, but the town's forces were prepared. A group of archers at the town walls had their bows loaded, poised to attack, and down below they had iron swords. The bandits slowly all died, and the worst injury of the fight wasn’t life threatening, so nobody died. Well, except for the bandits. Hope was awarded with 800 minas, and she thought that was a suitable prize for saving a village. Anything else you would like to say?: I really hope you accept my application, as I've been desperate to join for ages! Your server is amazing, and I really want to join, and have my first proper PC role-playing game, on Minecraft! As I'm writing, I'm listening to C418 Minecraft soundtrack, so I do think I based my character on myself, plus I'm utterly hopeless!! Not with Minecraft, though, LOL.

Give a definition of what it means to you: Well, my favorite kind of game is RPG, and my dad has hundreds, so I'm never short of things to play on my X-Box or the PS3. Also, if I could, I would do the graphics for RPGs when I'm older, as I (and everyone who knows me or has seen my artwork,) says I'm absolutely outstanding! I love to role play IRL as-well, I love acting, and in my writing I act as if in a role playing game; with the mix of first and third person, past and present tense, the powerful emotions, hard decisions; if you want an RPG tale, come to me! What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I only play RPGs on my DS and X-box 360, as-well as on the PC, so I bet I know at least a bit about them, and had some experience with them.

Or like, in battle, 'player1 tries to stab player2 with a sword' gives player2 time to dodge the attack, I think, in summary :blink: In your own Words, define what Out of Character (OOC) is: It's the actual player, (me for egsample) and if they've read a walkthrough, or watched a lets play, they actually know things that the IC doesn't, but does the unexpected, cheated way anyway.

In-Character: Character Name: Hope_The_Hopeless What Race are you? (You may only be Human, Orc, Elf or Dwarf!) : Elf What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): Biography (Please make this at least 2 paragraphs long. This must include the history of your character and her/his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Hope was a Wood Elf, a smart, surviving, and plainly amazing race. As a child, she was popular and top of the class. She had long ebony hair, and shining jade eyes, and had a habit of tormenting boys with her friends by shooting soft-tip arrows at their butts. In teen-hood, Hope was more adventurous, and always carried around six stacks of arrows, and killed the mobs inhabiting the forest happily, gaining more experience every passing day. But one fateful night, when Hope was only fifteen, she was heading home to the grove in which her village was, but heard the burning of trees reaching closer, and closer. Terrified, she ran through the fire, bow in hand, but as she reached the village, devastation was in store for her. Homes on fire, beings from the hell of Minecraft, the Nether, beasts from the End, and more everyday mobs than she could handle were killing everyone, and the screams of her friends and family were horrible. The bodies were everywhere, and blood coated everything. The undead were murdering everyone, and they were summoning more monsters, and Hope was nearly killed herself, taking serious damage with her. There was no other way out, she was surrounded by the evils sent by the evil Lord Herobrine, surely fate couldn't have chosen her. She desperately tried to ward them off her, but the aggravated pigmen were too much for her to kill off herself. Badly wounded, tired, and haunted, Hope finally escaped the destruction at the crack of dawn. Wandering from town to town, she always found herself having endless nightmares and flashbacks of the day she was the lone survivor, just by chance. She was never accepted into the clans of Orcs, or Dwarves, or the weak Human, and seemed she couldn't find another village of Elves for the life of her. She was terrified to venture into any dark forest anyway, after what had happened. If she had not gone out that night, she could have maybe warned the other elves to evacuate, and they all might have still been alive. Months past, and Hope found herself, well, becoming hopeless, of ever avenging her family and friends. But one day, she wandered by a large city, and decided to have a look, as it seemed all races were there. She went in, and finally found herself accepted. She was healed, and found a home, at last, and with new found friends, she decided to finally avenge her loved ones. And that leads us to today. What are your Character's ambitions?: To avenge the deaths of the friends and family. What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Her bow and arrows What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Being able to shoot a mob from 140 meters, the arrow-length maximum.

Hope recovers her senses, and the next morning leaves to the player-built town, Sister City. She discovers that not long ago it was demolished when the undead took over the world, and the towns and cities had only just recovered from it. From there she says her farewells to the travelers, and finds a map to get her way back to the Cloud Temple. 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.

A group of archers at the town walls had their bows loaded, poised to attack, and down below they had iron swords. The bandits slowly all died, and the worst injury was seven hearts of damage, so nobody died. Well, except for the bandits.
