Out-Of-Character
Minecraft Account Name: Malbosarus
How old are you?: 17
Time-Zone/Country of Residence: England/GMT
Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes.
Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I live in the centre of England and I see myself as a kind person who probably spends too much time playing computer and video games but gets addicted to them very easily. Also I enjoy helping other out which might come in useful when playing on Lord of the Craft.
How much time could you be on the server weekly?: 1 or 2 hours a day.
What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: I don’t know too much about roleplaying but I do know that it is when people change their personality as if to act like someone or something else. I also don’t think that roleplaying is just on computer games but also happens in real life. So in minecraft I will be playing the role of my character, Larrie.
What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I haven't had much experience on role-playing games but I do play FPS on the Xbox!
In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta gaming is when you use knowledge that you shouldn’t be able to know to make yourself do better in this game. For example if one of my friends was to tell me where something was on a server and then I went to it, that would be meta-gaming as I am using knowledge that I shouldn’t know to make myself do better.
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is: Power-emoting is very similar to Power-gaming. Both are to do with forcing actions upon another party, and are against the rules. Power-emoting critically is when a player uses emotions to force another player to do what he wants. This is often associated with over-powering characters too. An instance of this is when, for example, I go ''*pulls out his sword, and with a single pivital blow to James' head, kills him''. However, what should have happened here is: ''*begins to look shifty and unsheathes his sword''. If James then goes ''*also draws his sword, as if to defend himself, or in attack'', I could then respond ''*tries to wound his right arm, by swiping his sword down''. James here could go: ''*attempts to move, so not to be hit''. This could be very ambiguous as James could power-emote, and dodge every strike I give. This is also against the rules to power-emote in defence.
What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I play on the hunger games servers the most often and I will probably continue to play them however if I am accepted then playing Lord of the Craft will be my first priority.

Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules: Yes, I promise to abide by the rules and laws.

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.):
Larrie is the son of both Lago and Tethys and was born in the nation of Malinor. Lago and Tethys got along very well together but one day whilst Lago had gone out mining, as he was a peasant, fell a long way down a mineshaft and was never seen again. This meant that Larrie had to grow up very quickly and become very dependent on himself and as he grew older being just a single child, had to look after his mother as well. Tethys and Larrie got on well together.
Now Larrie is 23 and Tethys is 56 but Tethys doesn’t look like she’s going to last much longer. Larrie enjoys caring for his mother and bases this around working, he struggles to have much of a social life but does get on well with his neighbours who like him and think of him as being a young and kind individual. Larrie was fond of his father and always wanted to have the same sort of job as him and so he did. However Larrie does enjoy cooking as a past time and also enjoys training to become a soldier one day. This job though put his relationship with his mother slightly awkward as his mother really disliked the idea of him going to work as a miner because she depended on him and also she didn’t want him to die like his father did.
Larrie and Tethys live in a small brick built house in the forest near the mine so that Larrie can be close to his mother at all times and also so that if anything bad were to happen to either of them then each of them would be there for each other. Despite living relatively close to the mine Larrie still has to walk over 2 miles to get to work each day of the week.
What are your Character's ambitions?: To be a miner but has a deep interest in both cooking and fighting.
What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Iron sword, this is due to the fact that Larrie has a deep interest in becoming a soldier.

Larrie picks up an iron pickaxe and admires it. “How much for this?” he says. The merchant replies, “For you, ill only charge you half a block of gold ore.” Larrie pays him and thanks him and then walks off back home.
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?: Larrie ponders for a few minutes and wonders to himself, “Am I sure that there is nobody else here”. Larrie then proceeds to search out the area properly and finds nobody. “Looks like nobody is here, I’ll take this then”. He takes the items and then starts to walk back. On the way back he sees another man who seems to be looking for something. “What are you looking for?” Larrie says. The man responds, “Somebody took my iron bars and my golden sword.” Larrie then says apprehensively “I’m so sorry but that was me, please take it back, I’m so sorry.” The man responds with great happiness, “Oh thank you, thank you so much.”
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? “Y’allright there everybody”, Larrie says, “Would any of you happen to have and spare food or drink, I’m starving.” The other people respond kindly and insist that Larrie sits down and eats with the village and also they say that Larrie can stay the night with them.
