Das_Doctor's Application [Orc]
Out of Character (OOC)
Minecraft Account Name:
Das_Doktor
Age:

Time-zone/Country of Residence:
GMT / United Kingdom
Do I have a good grip on the English language:
I am an English national and have been in education since four so I presume that I have a good understanding of my own language.
Small description of myself:
I find myself to be slightly humorous and like to have fun with my friends. I also like to make new friends and buddies whether it be in real life or over a game such as this. I also have a keen interest in sports and fitness and often visit the gym and take part in various hobbies. My hobbies include that of Football, Rugby, and Sailing and as of lately flying. I one day hope to achieve my lifelong ambition of becoming a Pilot. The last possible thing you may like to know is that I like to make small cinematic videos of games I play. I like to feel the sense of achievement.
Time that I can spend on the server weekly:
Well, recently I have just finished a mass of exams and life changing tests in school and now have a good 9 weeks of absolutely nothing except sports and a holiday. With this I am easily able to spend around five hours per day on the server, maybe more on some days than others.
Roleplaying:
To me roleplaying is when one takes to their imagination and is allowed to use one’s creativity to immerse themselves into a different world or time. You can act and pretend to embody someone else and feel as you will. It is normally based within one’s mind or can sometimes be through live action role play which is where people would dress and conform together. An example of role play may be when people go to a re-enactment of a historical battle. Here they dress and act as the character’s they play would have.
Experience of Roleplaying:
Personally I have never really taken up role playing other than that of when I was a child. Everybody used to do it, running around with swords and making small den in the back garden. I am afraid to say, other than that there is no experience in my résumé of role playing.
Meta-gaming:
Meta-gaming is when one would use a piece of information gained through out of character means and use it in game to give him/herself an advantage when in fact the character should not have. You could gain this from the Forums, TeamSpeak or maybe the out of character features of the game. This could include information from attacks or the location of precious items.
Power-gaming:
Often referred to as power-emoting, this is when a player/character uses actions or speech that will only give a certain outcome. They will not give the opposite person an opportunity to react or defend themselves. An example could be when a villain is attacking another citizen and a he /she use emotes such as “Thrusts the sword through her chest and killing her instantly” or “Grabs hold of his neck with no way to get out”.
Expectations of the server:
To be honest with you all, I really cannot wait to get involved with the community and start interacting with the numerous members of the server. With my time flying around as a wandering soul I have seen all the amazing areas that have been built and people regularly role play within. All in all, I have really high expectations and hope that the server is amazing.
Other Servers I have played on:
Sadly or maybe not, I have never really taken up playing on a Minecraft role play server before. So for me there are no entries for this section. I hope that this does not affect my overall chance of gaining entry to this marvellous server.
Have I read and understood the rules:
I have read through all the rules of the server, forums and the TeamSpeak server and after taking time to understand all of their meanings, I completely understand.
Do I promise to abide by the rules set for the server, TeamSpeak and the forums:
I full heartedly promise to abide and follow the rules of all aspects of the server to maintain a safe and fun environment, not just for myself, but also other members of the community.
How did I hear about the server:
I first heard of this server through a friend quite a while ago but have never really had the time to actually apply. So after my hard times of exams had finished, I suddenly remembered and decided to take a look online and easily found it. I must say, your website doesn’t appear on the first page of Google if you only type in “Minecraft Role Playing Server”.
Previous Applications:
Thankfully there are none of these as of yet and I also aim to keep it this way.
In Character (IC)
Character Name:
Klorg
Race:
Orc
Sub - Race:
N/A
Biography:
Born and raised in the Strizgoi, Klorg has spent his years living in a small tent just outside the perimeter of the mountains; it is close enough for protection but far enough out that the other members of the nation wouldn’t see him. From birth, Klorg has been out cast from the nation due to his sheer lack of intelligence and lack of sense. Some say that it is the result of being born into an ordinary family of Nubs and workers, Klorg never had the best of attention from either his close family or the war nation. His father Smorg’ruk served as a simple and tough headed nib in the army of the Stigzgoi. His earnings were of a minimum value and little to no people cared for his needs. The mother of Klorg was just a mere farm worker that would spend her days cutting the trees and tending the crops.
Shortly after birth Klorg found himself being left alone in the family’s small tent whilst his parents were both at work, earning what little wages they could. With no teaching and people to raise him Klorg fell quickly behind in both intelligence and social abilities which greatly impacted upon him in his later life. All that Klorg could do was play with his father’s swords and hammers. He would swing them around, with no care in the world and more often than not would hit something then break it. Klorg would try his best to fix it with whatever he could find. Small bits of tether or string was often all that lay around. When his father would return home to find the tent littered with broken items and his chest been ransacked he often exerted his rage upon Klorg, with beating or whipping with chains.
As Klorg grew the scars of his childhood remained with him and were easily visible on his think green skin. Through his endless beatings from his father Klorg had worked up quite a temper and skill of using his own fists. However, when some present their fists it can often lead Klorg to remember his childhood. The often tasks of attempting to repair broken items has also left Klorg with a minor skill in Blacksmithing as he has learnt how to repair tools and weapons.
[Description – Klorg is of average height for an orc and stands at the height of 8 ft. and 7 Inches. Klorg prefers to wear nothing on his feet so has very hard and dead skin on the sole of his foot. Klorg’s legs are of normal size but are littered with small scars from his repeated lashings and has a small piece of cloth wrapped around his right knee. The torso of Klorg his very muscular and has very prominent pectorals muscles. There is one very noticeable scar running along from near his left shoulder to his upper abdomen area. Klorg has large tusks, but his left tusk his fractionally bugger than the right. His hair is black and almost stands in a Mohawk running down his head.]
Character Ambitions:
Klorg has always had the ambition to impress his father and mother. Even though he was treated appallingly, he stays set and tries to convince himself that it is his own fault. For his father, the only way to prove himself is through strength and military accomplishments. Klorg strives to prove himself in battle and in the honourable klomp.
Character’s Favourite Tool:
Klorg doesn’t have a favourite tool per say, but much rather a favourite weapon to use. The main weapon of choice would be a steel or diamond sword and sometimes on occasions a war hammer.
Character’s Most Skilled Talent:
Being very intellectual inferior too many others Klorg finds he is only good at a number of tasks. He can make a half decent odd job repair and since his child hood finds himself very good at breaking things with his hands.
Portrait of Character:
Other Information:
Klorg is very wary of new people and can often be seen to shy away from the fact of meeting new beings especially if they are of a different race.
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 walking along the path Klorg has his hand clutched around a stick around 6ft. long with various stumps where other branches have been ripped off. As he slowly clumbers along the path slowly the small group of people appear with the small Halfling seemly being boxed in by two larger humans. Klorg rubs his eyes to check that what he sees is right. As he slowly gets closer and closer he clearly sees the person is a Halfling and remembers how the other orcs hated Halflings. At about 6ft away from the small crowd, Klorg sniffs the air with his tough green nose. As he is next to the crowd Klorg opens his mouth and lets a large amount of saliva run out and pass down to the floor. He then shuts his mouth, quickly shakes his head and then continues his journey.
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?
Klorg stops and looks at the man. He does nothing but stand there whilst he looks up and down the man various times as if he is checking if there is any danger. After thinking and mentally analysing the man, Klorg walks slowly forward up to the stall. He glances down to see the wares the man is offering when suddenly Klorg’s eyes are drawn to a shiny diamond gem. Instantly Klorg picks it up and just glares at its beauty whilst the man says “That’ll be 450 Mina then big fella.” Klorg looks up to the man and back down to the gem. Klorg then licks the gem making sure his saliva is all over and then proceeds to put it in his mouth. After whirling around for a while Klorg spits it out onto the table and looks up to the man. “Klorg, nub got no shinez do give lu.” Klorg then walks off to continue his day.
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?
Klorg notices the lone hut and ventures toward it. Slowly and gingerly, Klorg peers through the window of the hut to check its contents. He oddly notices that the hut is empty and the fire has long been extinguished. Noticing the chest inside, he licks the window pane and then continues over to the door. He grasps his hand around the door knob and tries to turn. His efforts come to no avail and Klorg then resorts to force and strength. Klorg barges through the door with ease and quickly finds himself inside. After, Klorg clambers over the pieces of broken door and down to the chest. He opens it and finds a few iron bars and a golden sword. Almost the instant he has seen the items, Klorg’s tongue and found itself licking the iron bars. After having a good taste and a sense of the items, Klorg picks up everything and continues his journey.
Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you in the common tongue, and how do you respond?
Klorg, being afraid and wary of strangers seems to stand his ground and say nothing. He just stares at the men and women of the camp until suddenly Klorg lets out a rawer. Bits of saliva and old food come shooting out of his mouth. After the rawer, Klorg walks closer to the people: “Klorg, luk latz fud plees.”. Once again Klorg sticks out his tongue and gestures towards his mouth. He then rubs his belly and follows the traders inside. An hour or so later, after Klorg had been given food, he stands up and goes over to the group of traders. They are all small compared to Klorg, so he easily picks them all up into the air in a bear hug like fashion. He then begins to spin the group and licks a few of their faces. After a moment of celebrating klorg places the people back on the ground and walks off to continue his journey.
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?
Klorg gathers around the small crowd along with the rest of the town. He sees a number of people raising their hand and being brave to volunteer. Before long most of the fighting age males have already gone to help and then the leader turns to Klorg. He shouts “You back there. Orc. You’re massive. We could use a person like you”. Klorg shakes his head and tries to make himself a little smaller but this is too no avail. The leader continues to ask for the help of Klorg and in return Klorg just continues to shake his head. It must have been sometime by now as most of the volunteers had already suited up and finally Klorg agrees to help. He walks up to the leader and says “I nub lik dem sortz of whomanz.”
