Minecraft Account Name:
audiotone
How old are you?:
Seventeen.
Time-Zone/Country of Residence:
PST/GMT -8. United States.
Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?:
Yep, I find correct spelling, punctuation and grammar to be important.
Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:
Well, I'm a bit of an introvert. I spend most of my time on the computer. I guess what defines me most is my passion for game development. I've been creating video games for around 5 years now as co-founder of Siren Games.
How much time could you be on the server weekly?:
1 through 5 hours a day, or, 7-35 hours a week.
What do you know about Roleplaying?
I've honestly never gotten into much roleplaying before. I know that it's good creative exercise.
What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?:
The most roleplaying I've ever done is probably while playing Maplestory back when it first came out (not just playing the game, I actually did quite a bit of actual role-playing in game), and a few times in Garry's Mod. I guess some of my game development skills can be considered RP as I've made scripts for a few RPG games.
In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is:
Using outside knowledge to empower your RP character. Some examples include: Using nameplates to your advantage, asking people/friends for coordinates/directions while OOC, and just generally gaining knowledge OOC and employing it in RP.
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is:
Power-Gaming is basically enforcing your will unto people while RPing and essentially makes you invincible through unfair means. It implies your actions are successful without giving other RPers freedom to act on your actions. Power-Gaming also includes abusing game mechanics to gain advantage in RP.
What do you expect this server will be like?:
Judging by the world map it seems like a full fledged MMO if Minecraft were one. I'm pretty excited to see how things are structured.
What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?:
I've played on a large amount of servers before, way too many to list. (I've been around since Alpha). Most notably though: Industrial Rage (Industrial Craft/Build Craft/Red Power server that you have to pay to gain access to.) and 2b2t (A massive anarchy server). I generally leave servers because there's not enough going on to keep me interested or because the friends I made on the server left.
Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?:
Yes, twice.
Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules:
I promise to abide by the server rules, laws, forum rules, and teamspeak rules.
How did you hear about us?:
Friend referral.
Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?:

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.):
ACT I
The Big Bang
Welcome, Urwy.. you have just been born unto the land of Asulon.
Today is Red Rose Day. You are an Orc, yet you have just
been born unto the doctoring hands of a human. You look around and
you can see the proud faces of your whitewash orcish parents. You
are in a palace, most likely in Arethor. You have much to look
forward to, but, first you must endure the lingering years of your
childhood. Not much is going to happen in preparation, but, around
the age of two you're going to be starting your first task. You
will spend many grueling years learning to talk like the very people
who look down on you. This is the first of events that first spark
your hatred for this world. You don't know me, but, one day I will
set your destiny into motion. I will visit you soon.
Do not spare your hatred, for you have purpose.
ACT II
Rebellious Teen
Here we go again, I can hear the guards chasing me. My parents are
foolish. I will never understand why they gave in to nobility, giving
up their pride to become mere servants to the pitiful humans. I've
really screwed up this time though. I've now been in Al'Khazar working
for these pitiful beings for nineteen years, it was about time those
fools got a taste of my anger. As Urwy is running from the guards he
decides to turn a corner. As he does so a guard trips him and is
chained by the other guards. The feint smell of smoke is starting to
worry all of the people occupying the castle. The guards proceed to drag
Urwy to the king's quarters. Urwy got off nicely, he was going to be executed.
Setting the village on fire is usually not something taken lightly. His
parents pleaded with the king, they used their many years of loyalty to
grant themselves probably their only favor. It was decided Urwy would not
be executed, but, instead banished, never to see Arethor or his parents
ever again.
ACT III
This Is Your Destiny
"Well..." said Urwy, "It's my first night alone since banishment.".
Urwy was not sure what to do. He felt hopeless. He rested his soul
upon a tree and pondered his existence. For some reason he was reminded
of the dark presence that would always haunt him as a child. Urwy
became startled as he heard the bushes shake behind him. Urwy shouted
as he felt the dark presence return to him after many years "Enough!
Show yourself!". A pale skeletal looking man loomed from the bushes
wearing a hooded robe. "Who are you?" Urwy urges, "I can tell,
you're the dark presence I've been feeling all of my life.". The
man shared his identity. "I have been waiting for this moment, Urwy."
said The Daemon Wanderer, "We don't have much time to speak, you must
do what you know you were born to do!". Urwy was speechless, all he
could do is nod. Urwy didn't know why, but, he could sense what was
going on. The Daemon Wanderer gave Urwy a stern look and said
"Go now Urwy, for this is your Destiny!".
ACT IV
The Real Beginning
Urwy watches as The Daemon Wanderer burst into flames and diminishes
into nothingness. Urwy always had his primal ambitions, but, he never
thought he had what it took to become a great leader. The Daemon Wanderer
solidified his destiny, though. Urwy knew what had to be done. All of his
hatred for the world is finally about to be unleashed. "It is time," says
Urwy "I shall head north." Urwy is confident, but, the treacherous world of
Asulon awaits him. Can he survive... will he fulfill his destiny?
What are your Character's ambitions?:
Urwy's destiny is to become the leader of his own small kingdom in a snowy region that he built with his bare hands, he insists on naming his kingdom Exile. He must train a clan of skilled assassins to fight alongside him to dominate all of Asulon for The Daemon Wanderer, and, wants to one day become known as "Urwy, the Warlord."
What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):
Urwy's favorite tool is both the Diamond Sword, and the Diamond Pickaxe. Urwy likes his tools made of the earths most precious materials. He likes the sword because of it's symbol of aggression, and the pickaxe for it's symbol of hard-work.
What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?:
Urwy likes to think he is a seasoned blacksmith.

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?:
Urwy walks across the broken cobble :: You there! Guards! What are you doing to this weak Halfling? :: Urwy waits for a response :: Urwy can tell that the guards feel intimidated because he's an Orc :: Urwy let's out a growl and starts chasing after the guards :: The Halfling screams :: The guards are now running down the alley through a corridor of housing :: Urwy slowly walks back to the Halfling as he is thanking him :: Urwy attempts to use intimidation to get the Halfling to pay him for his "services" :: Once the interaction is over Urwy continues on his way.
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?:
Urwy continues walking :: The merchant continues to badger Urwy :: Urwy inquires, excuse me old man, why do you insist on bothering me? I didn't even walk up to your stall! (in a sarcastic tone) :: The merchant looks confused :: The merchant apologizes to Urwy :: Urwy gives a smug look to the merchant and continues walking.
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?:
Urwy becomes excited at the sight of an abandoned hut :: As he enters the hut he looks around for valuables :: He finds a single chest and opens it :: Urwy lets out a sigh :: Urwy takes a few iron bars out of the chest and puts them in his pack :: Urwy grabs the sword by it's hilt and looks at its blade :: Urwy let's out a chuckle and throws the sword on the ground :: Urwy walks out of the hut and continues 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 offer their support. How does your character act on this information?:
Urwy accepts their offer, but, not wholeheartedly :: Urwy walks up the road and has a discussion with the bandits and tells them his situation :: Urwy offers to share the reward with the bandits if they pretend to be eliminated for the next day :: The bandits take a moment to talk about it :: The bandit leader walks up to Urwy. :: The bandits says "Tis agreed, young Orc" :: Urwy buys a spot in the inn and waits out the next few days for his reward :: Once the guards reward him he continues on his way without consulting the bandits.
Anything else you would like to say?:
If it comes down to it that the downfall of my application is the fact that I want to be a whitewash orc, I guess I'll just be a regular orc. My main reasoning for wanting to be whitewash is as follows:
I really wanted to be an orc, and I spent quite a bit of time getting my skin perfect. I take pride in my grammar, and, talking in Blah isn't really an option for me. Not being whitewash kind of takes away from my bio.
P.S. Also, if you're not too busy after reviewing, whether I get accepted or not, is it possible you could link me to an orc application that was remarkably amazing (preferably a whitewash orc if there ever was one)? I just want to see what I should strive for. Thank you very much for your time, and I truly hope you enjoyed my bio and application.
