Raglin

September 9, 2012

Raglin walked past the old entrance of Karik, breathing in the cool air. He chose a spot upon a low, flat, grassy area. The day went on as he came back and forth from the mountain, carrying large bags carrying a multitude of items. The dwarf finally had it all set up a few hours later.

There were five targets, each a pumpkin upon a pike. They were spaced out evenly, exactly three meters apart. The first was not but ten paces from the shooting line, and the second one was fifteen. The third and the fourth rose in elevation, each five paces behind the previous.

Raglin nodded at his work, patting the large table that stood at the shooting line. Upon the length of the table were many bows and quivers, all exactly the same with quite simple design.

The dwarf walked about Karik later on, yelling out and telling everyone of the archery contest he was holding, the winner receiving a brand new and beautiful new bow, and a keg of ale. Signs were all about.

"All be welcome tae participate! It beh ootside tae citeh!"

"Ha! Can't handle tae taste, ratha! I guess dat qualifies as good to ye ironguts!"

He punched him in the shoulder playfully but roughly, laughing.

September 8, 2012

Raglin walked in, the dwarf drawing the gray hood from his head. A newly shaven Mohawk shown, his black eyepatch nearly the same color. Raglin laughed at the two dwarves.

"I'll take ye both on! Make mine extra EXTRA spiceh!"

He slapped down the minas.

September 3, 2012

Raglin stared at the poster, his axe dropping from his hand. The city he had been raised in. The city he had lived happily with his family until they were slaughtered....it was back. He whiped a tear from his remaining eye, picking the axe from the ground. "I will find me ol' home, an' restore it fer me famileh's honor. He began his journey.

September 2, 2012

Raglin approached the child, kneeling down. The older dwarf squinted at the kid. "If'n ye keep running in circles yer bound tae fall on yer arse." Raglin speaks with the child, sharing a few stories of old. Later on he asked him where he hailed from, to find he was orphaned. Raglin examined him another moment, then asked him if he would like to come with him. Perhaps he would teach the young lad. (Can I adopt? Dwarf.)

-*-*-THE EDGEHANDS RECRUITMENT-*-*-

Raglin stares into the fire within the Edgehand hall, his fist tightening over the hilt of his axe. He looked up at the tapestries showing the colors of the clan, the marvelous furniture and masonry put into the hall. He rises slowly, sliding the large axe slowly into its sling upon his back.

"I've seen this afore, too many lads ain' showin' about. I must find othas tae fight wiffus. I 'ave plans fer dis clan, an' if Dulku ain' gunnae work for greata gloreh, then I will.", he said as he made his way out of the hall, into Kal'Anart's trade square. He began his journey to find more Edgehands.

(( WE ARE NOW RECRUITING OFFICIALLY ))

(( Recently I've sort've taken charge of the Edgehands, being that Dulku hasn't been around for quite some time. So, I made a bit of an application for you interested dwarves out there. Simply fill it out and be sure to be active. I plan on increasing activity within the clan as well as productivity. At one point I hope to have the Edgehands recognized as something more than a simple clan. Any questions you have, direct them to me on the forums. ))

Raglin grins to himself as he fletches the deadly, barbed arrows he uses. At the announcement of the war he immediately made another trip about the land, posting ads for archers and rangers.

"Our main force may beh melee, but I'll have archers ready tae notch some arrows as well." He said to himself as he finished the last posting of the ad.

August 14, 2012

Raglin sighed as he walked into the sanctuary of the Cloud Temple. The aged dwarf adjusts the quiver across his back. He places a large piece of parchment on the announcement board, scrawling words across it; "Kal'Anart seeks archers! If ye have skill with a bow an' ye wish tae serve the dwarves, join up! Contact Captain Raglin Edgehand to join, an' Lord Bazian to join tae Order of the Stone. (( OOC names: Teebrown and The_Ranger44/Raglin ))

The dwarf nodded at his post, then made his way, whistling a casual tune as he trudged towards the docks.

(( Currently the ranged division of the Order of the Stone is lagging fiercely. So, we need more archers. This is my general preferrance for archers. 75+ archery, Wrestling/Swords/Axes doesn't matter as much. And if you have sneak skill, that helps as well. So, send in an app to the Order of the Stone and state you are an archer. Then send me a forum PM so I can know you have applied. ))

July 30, 2012

Raglin stared into the chrystal waters, his eyes glazed over with tears. He drank from his flask again. Moments ago it was a happy moment, a wedding for his friend. They were celebrating, having a good time. But then the memories came rushing to Raglin like tidal waves. As the others went out to party, he lingered in the lonesome woods, declining their many offers to come with them.

Raglin drank from his flask again, then let out another small sob. "Hilda, Boran." He whiped the tears from his eyes, as he began to dwell upon the past. He sighed and closed his eyes, letting the old nightmares take over his mind. He began to remember, all too clearly.

It was a normal day in Karik, his wife, Hilda, and his son, Boran, were at their home in the city, waiting for Raglin to come home from his labor at the mines. He was walking down the gravel path, his pickaxe swinging at his side as he made his way to the city leisurely along with the other miners. It was a grim looking day, the clouds dark over the land. He heard something, a distant bellowing sound. He payed this no mind, for many creatures live in the mountains and forests nearby.

He saw the city of Karik ahead, and froze as flames erupted over the the land, and the roar came ahead, a loud terrifying sound. He gaped as the dragon emerged, its mouth bellowing flames, its eyes piercingly evil. It spread its wings, beating them as it began its attack on the city, killing dwarves all over the city, their defenses futile against such a monster. Screams rang out across the land, as Raglin charged forward towards the city. A fellow miner gripped his shoulders, yanking him backwards. "Thar's nothin' we can do, lad!" Raglin ripped from his grip as he began to sob, falling to his knees.

Raglin sobbed and sobbed as the fire faded from the city after his long attack. As survivors were counted Raglin searched for his family, not spotting his son nor his wife. At the end of the aftermath he began to help the survivors, doing what he could to patch them up. For months afterwards Raglin was disturbed by the event, mining mindlessly, his eyes dull. He healed from this trauma eventually, but has never been the same dwarf since.

Raglin rose from his spot in the grass, dusting himself off, he whiped the tears away, he began trudging after the others' path, heading to the afterparty, whistling a melancholy tune.

(( I hope you like it. It's been a while since I've written a short story. ))

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Oh yes, most definitely.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am often on Minecraft, but for a while now I've been looking for a quality RP server. I write short stories all the time, as well, so my grammar isn't too bad.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Most of the week for about three to four hours a day, possibly?

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: I know that roleplaying is the potrayal of a character that is not one's self. Roleplay, to me, means you get to be that hero you always wanted to be, or the villain, even.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is: Well personally I call it godmodding, but it is the act of taking away another player's ability to respond, like in a combat situation. For instance, "Billy punches Joe in the face and knocks him flat out". No response from the other guy can be given.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I hope to find more RP than other servers, a great community, and a few pals to adventure with.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have played on Aerocraft, hoping for RP, but found none. That's why I left it.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes, I have.

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

How did you hear about us?: While on Aerocraft, a fellow RPer of mine told me that if I really wanted a quality RP experience, I should go to your server. Seeing that there is an application system gets my hopes up.

Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?: No, I haven't.

In-Character: In character is pretty much what it states. It means you are roleplaying as your character, and are not OOC. (Out of character)

Character Name: Raglin Thunderfist

What Race are you? (You may only be Human, Orc, Elf or Dwarf!) : Dwarf

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): I am just a dwarf.

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.): Raglin, is a dwarf of muscular stature. His arms show the muscle and wear and tear of a miner, as well as a soldier. His armor is of thick leather and chainmail hanging freely. Upon his back, is a double-edged axe that holds not only a few nicks but many bloody memories. Raglin is most definitely a cave dwarf, his skin dark and his beard darker. His beard is adorned with jewels and brass rings, along with thick braids. At all times his mind dwells on the dark caverns of dwarven cities, and the ringing of a pickaxe on ore.

Raglin has always loved his home, ever since they found the land known as Karik, a city built upon old dwarven ruins. Raglin started his life simply, serving in the mining colony of Kal'Dwain, working day and night, laboring in the dark tunnels. For a long time, Raglin felt as if he was missing something. He later on joined his fellow dwarves in Karik, living there for quite some time with his family.

When the dragon came, Raglin's life was turned upside down, for his family was slaughtered by the dragon, yet he managed to escape. For months, possibly years he was in depression, following along with his fellow dwarves to their new city, Khaz'A'Zhar. Raglin grew tired of working as a miner, and enlisted himself into the military. This, he knew, was where he belonged. Raglin fought with a ferocity that enstilled fear into his enemies, his teeth bared and his dark beard waving wildly.

Raglin fought alongside his brothers in their battle against orcs and other enemies alike. Raglin almost never showed a sign of tiring, and his hope was always radiant. After many battles, many scars, many friends lost, Raglin abandoned serving as a soldier, and now takes to vigilante work or just plain living life.

What are your Character's ambitions?: Raglin wishes to gain wealth and fame, as well as a few battle scars along the way.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Axe or bow.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Raglin is proficient at mining, but prefers axe-fighting.

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 ): Only worked if I added it in attatchments. It will not paste despite what I do.

Other Information about your Character: Raglin is almost always underground, but he does enjoy getting out and breathing in fresh air. He almost always looks to make a friend, and if not that, an enemy.

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? Raglin yells loudly, "Oi! Leave tha' 'alfling alone!" He would charge, swinging his axe so that the flat side of the heavy weapon would slam into one of the armed warrior's chest, most likely knocking the wind out of him if the attack was successful. Raglin would meet the other warrior's blade in midair with his axe, his teeth setting as he kicked the man roughly in the groin, causing him to fall to his knees. Raglin brought up his axe, then would swiftly knock the man unconscious with it. He would turn to the halfling. "You alright, lad?" he asked with an eyebrow raised. The halfling would nod, "Thank you sir!" he would say joyfully. "Not a problem, lad. Not a problem", the dwarf would reply, taking his leave rather casually.

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 for you today?" Raglin would examine the stall. "Have ye any trinkets of sorts? Nothin' tae feminine, mind ye." he would add in with a chuckle. The man brought form a few silver rings. "These 'ere are nice, an' would go good with that beard of yours, eh?" the man said with a wink. Raglin laughed, "Alright, I'll take two. 'Ow much?" he asked, as he fished out a coin pouch. "Twenty minas, sir!" he said as he offered the two rings. "Great!" Raglin handed over twenty pieces, then took the rings, leaving the man with a wave.

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?: Raglin walks in, looking about. He opens the chest and blinks, "Been needing some iron bars, an' could sell that sword...." Raglin would put in a few coins, then remove the bars and sword, storing them in his pack. He would leave the house with a slight hop to his step, whistling a very dwarvish tune.

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? Raglin would approach them. "Hello! Ye happen tae have any food?" Raglin would ask, sitting down. He is given some refreshments, and he digs in rather quickly. "Och, thank ye lad. Nice tae find a friendly camp every now an' then, aye?" Raglin said through a mouth full of pork. The men nodded, "Indeed, master dwarf. Stay for a while, you can travel with us, if you'd like." Raglin would nod, "Aye, that'd be great." he would say with a raise of his mug.

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 respond? Raglin would accept the job with a nod. "Aye, lad. I can help ye there! Lead the way!" He would say with a big grin on his face. The party would meet the bandits at the road, and after a short confrontation, Raglin would charge forward, leading the guards to battle. Raglin's axe would fell many bandits, and his roar would strike fear into others. Once the battle would be over, Raglin would thank the men for the action, and take the reward with a curt salute and a wave.

Anything else you would like to say?: Just that I hope I did better this time! I did try to incorporate some lore, for I read the dwarven lore for a while before I wrote this. I hope the attatched image will work, because honestly it will not paste for the life of me. If it doesn't work, I would love some help on the subject. I've already thoroughly read the screenshot help guides, but mine just won't paste.
