Fantastic. I'm normally around Cloud Temple, i'm the Dark Elf with a streak of red hair, somewhat hard to miss.

*A piece of parchment with neat writing is set upon the notice board, some of the snow flakes that are currently falling leave water stains upon the parchment. The letter reads:*

My name is Velulae'Chirr Blackfur, and I am in search of any organization in search of an extra sword. I often carry around an iron sword, and I would be a talented bodyguard, sword for hire, or what have you. Please leave a response.

*At the bottom, Velulae'Chirr leaves his name in large, fancily written letters, somewhat showing off.*

*The scrap of paper was removed from the notice board*

My name is Velulae'chirr Blackfur, I'm a 182 year old male Dark Elf searching for a teacher in the art of Evocation (Fire preferred). Thank you.

((Now, to some of you who know me know that I "am" a druid. Well, i'm not a Druid any longer, actually (I was only a Dedicant, the lowest rank, anyways), just to clear up any confusion some people may have.))

Alright then. any other job offers, feel free to post.

I'll also be looking for any other jobs, my decision isn't made yet.

Fantastic! Where might I find this place?

-Name Dedicant Velulae'chirr Blackfur (Soresan)

-Age 182 years old.

-Gender Male

-Race Dark Elf

-Occupation: At the moment I am a rather skilled farmer, I can farm wheat, melons, almost anything. (Level 50 farmer)

I'm also somewhat skilled with a sword, though I still have quite a ways to go. (Level 30 Swordsmanship)

My cooking is sub-par, but I can cook a mean loaf of bread and some delicious meat, given the time! (level 15 cooking)

I'd prefer a job as a provider in a store for things like wheat, food, so on, so forth, but a bodyguard would be my second choice. Send me a bird if you wish to hire me.

Blade has died. This was not the time he though he would die, but he has. His family, starving on their own, his father crippled from Aegis, could not support himself, or his wife. Knowing that Blade could help, he set off to join the army. He was sent off to a scouting mission to spy upon the orcs. He never returned. What was determined was that Blade was slain in battle. A death that he'd always wanted... It is not known if it was a bandit attack, or if Orcs had slain him. In Blade's person, there was a letter adressed to his parents.

"Dear Mother and Father,

I have my doubts i'll return alive from this mission, and to that, I appologise. Know that I love you both, and that I have raised enough money for you two to live for the next two years. It is suggested that you come to Kal'Anart. There are friendly people there, people who I am proud to call my friends and allies. Open a shop. Dad, take care of mom. Be there for her, knowing that I no longer can. Mother, I love you. You gave me life. You held me when I cried when I busted my arm, and always pushed me forward each day. Don't mourn my death, the both of you. I died a warriors death, and I have raised enough money for the two of you. I know I could die a happy man. I always love you.

With love, your son Blade Stoneaxe"

((The reason I had my character died is because I am not really having fun roleplaying as him, and I wanted to make a new character that hopefully has a bit more depth and is a bit more easy to roleplay. Plus, my stats and everything were screwy so I died over and over, but that's kind of beside the point. Point is, my character for me wasn't really playable, I can't really stick to his character personality, so hopefully i'll be able to start anew.

It is sad though :< I always get attatched to my characters. It's silly of me, I know. But I can't help it :< ))

How old are you?: 18.

Time-Zone/Country of Residence: United States.

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes I do have a good grip on the English Language and I am excellent with grammar

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I'm a very dedicated and very friendly person, though sometimes I can be distracted easily. I enjoy playing video games and Roleplaying a lot. I try my best to be helpful to those who need it.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Unless i'm on vacation or school starts back up, i'd be on most every day except on day on the weekend. (That's my time for me and my friends/family.)

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying is the ability to take on your character's role and sort of, in a sense, become your character. You can make your character to be whoever you want, and mold him to be what you want (Within reason). In real life, you could be a kind, nice mannered human being. However, in roleplay, you take on the personality of your character and could be a very rude, selfish person.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?:I've had three to four years of experience with roleplay involving World of Warcraft and Gaia.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-Gaming is the use of In Real Life knowledge and acting as if your character knows all this information. For instance, if you are talking to a friend on the phone who is roleplaying somewhere away from you, where you can't see or hear each other, and your friend tells you "My character just got attacked by a thief at ABC town!" through the phone, you cannot immediately turn and start attacking the thief and helping your friend in roleplay because your character did not know or hear of this situation. Or, you could OOCly know of a surprise attack from some bandits at ABC town, but IC, your character does not know this. Your character cannot use the OOC knowledge you have to run to the guards and warn them of said attack without first knowing about it in character first.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is: Power Emoting is the action of forcing a character you do not control to do something you want them to without the other person's "Ok", or, you cannot immediatly kill someone without giving the other person a chance to respond. For example, say you, player one, are being attacked by player two, and player two does the following emote: *Player 2 slices off Player 1's head in a single swipe!* This is an example of power emoting because you did not 1. Get a chance to block, dodge, run away, etc. and 2. Did not say it is alright for player two to chop off your head without you having a chance to do anything.

In your own Words, define what Out of Character (OOC) is: Out of Character means that you currently are not speaking as your character, nor are you roleplaying. It also is your point of view in the world, in real life, meaning you are not in your character's world. In OOC, you may have different knowledge than your character does, and that information should stay OOC. For instance, if your friend calls you and tells you that you are planning an IC raid on the town you live in, you know that in real life, but your character does not know this.

In your own Words, define what In Character (IC) is: In Character is a person in the real world playing as a character of their choice. This means that you are currently roleplaying as your character, and do not know any OOC knowledge that you may know. Your character does not know the things that you may know OOC unless they find out or are informed during roleplay.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect this server to be very exciting and fun, as I've seen on youtube and the forums, and i'm very excited to be apart of it.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I've played on only one other server, City Wars. The reason I left was because they weren't very helpful, it was very confusing to start out, and they weren't very friendly.

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

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.

How did you hear about us?: I was talking to a friend a few days ago, and we were talking about roleplay. He then brought up this roleplay server and really suggested that I check it out. Needless to say, I looked into it.

Have you previously made an Application? If so could you link us to your last Application?: Yes, I have applied once before. Here is the link: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/64263-blade/page__p__501660__hl__blade__fromsearch__1#entry501660

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.): Blade. That is his name. That is what he was raised by. That was what he was raised upon. Blade was only a season old when the Undead began to attack his home. Although Blade's father drove them off, he lost a limb, and his favorite axe, his stone axe from which his family was named. Stricken with grief, Blade brought his family to the Cloud Temple, where they sought medical attention for Blade's father's missing limb. While there, Blade meet a good friend named Borin on the streets. The two became fast friends, and spent much time together. However, their relationship soured when Borin's father found out his son was playing with a Dwarf, and the two never spoke to one another after that day. Blade's father and mother, Gorb and Marie Stoneaxe, brought Blade on the exodus from Aegis, though they loathed to leave their beloved mountain home behind, but it was something that had to be done.

At Asulon, the family sought out their own new home in the mountains once more. They bought a lovely little home in the mountains, but sadly, it burned down weeks later by Elven Wardens. Furious and distraught, Blade took his family to Cloud Temple, and begged the monks to take them in. The monks agreed, and grateful for their hospitality, gave the many of Minas, and worked for them, copping down trees, digging out ores, helping with keeping the temple clean.

Blade is now eight seasons old, and now that his parents insisted that they no longer needed taking care of, he decided to go out on his own, and make a name for himself. He's began to fight with his axe against monsters, but can sometimes be quite a blunder, as he only at the moment, has a wooden axe. Though, he still trains, day in, and day out. He often visits Cloud Temple, tending to graveyards, and praying to Dunarimm for guidance.

What are your Character's ambitions?: Blade's ambitions is to become an idol one day for his use of an axe in battle, and one day, make Stoneaxe a noble clan of the Dwarves.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): An axe, and ocasionally, a sword.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?: Fighting with his favorite axes, and chopping down wood.

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?: Blade looks at the Halfling, and laughs a bit. But he sees that he should be more caring... He has no means to protect himself, nor should he against such horrid odds. He draws his Blade, and points it at the thugs, and yells at them: "You little morons, why in God's name are you picking on this poor defenseless young man?! Hmm?! You have swords, and obviously money, and you use it to harass other people?! Now, since i'm a generous Dwarf, and don't appreciate killing-" He obviously lied. "I'm going to give you to the count of three to drop your weapons, give this halfling his minas back, and be on your marry way before I GUT YOU AND FEED YOUR ENTRAILS TO THE BLOODY WOLVES! Y'HEAR?! One!"

A Diamond Sword. He grins. "How much fer the sword, laddy?!" When Blade finds out it's worth more than his life... Well... He obviously was not happy. "Are you kidding me?! That many minas?! You're -nuts-! Diamond is valuable and all but that's absurd! Bah, i'll mine my own diamonds!" Blade barks as he stomps out the door.

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?: Blade looks around the hut. It's been gone abandoned for quite some time. The wood is rotting, and food has gone bad, the only thing left are the dusty ingots. He looks at the Iron bars with great interest, but them looks down at the Golden sword with disgust. "Bah... Who would use such valuable ore for weaponry! It's weak and way too light! Who in this world would do such a-" Blade stops and thinks, then makes an annoyed grunt. "Elves... Bloody Elves... Bah, i'll take the sword to be smelted down! It's still salvageable..." Blade spoke to himself as he places the valuable iron ingots in his backpack, and put the golden sword his his hilt, next to his iron pickaxe. Who knows? Maybe that sword would save his life.

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?: Blade looks up at the man with hungry eyes. "Lad, i'm starving, I haven't eaten in days, and I've nowhere to stay... I.. I'd hate to ask this.. But.. Have you any food, a bed, maybe some water? I don't have any minas right now, but i'd be more than happy to work off your hospitality in any way I can! Please, sir, I just need some help."

How does your character act on this information?: Blade strokes his beard as he contemplates the offer, then grins at the sound of reward. "Laddy, you've got yourself a deal!" The Dwarf says, shaking the man's hand. As they go out, Blade keeps his sword close at hand, keeping it drawn, making sure to be on the look out for any bandits. Sure enough, they came, almost like they were expecting them. What they didn't expect was the Dwarf! Blade immediately started to do battle with the horrid bandits, and laughed at their deplorable swordsmanship. With few casualties, and the bandits dead, Blade happily took his reward and was on his marry way, humming a dwarven tune to himself.

Anything else you would like to say?: Nothing else comes to mind. Hope you enjoyed it!

Character Name: Blade

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

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): No Sub-Race

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.): Blade. That was what he was born with. That was what his mother, Mari named him. That is what he lives by. Blade has always been a proud, yet ambitious Dwarf, seeking to out-mine, out-fight, and out-drink all other competitors. His skill with a sword as well as a pickaxe are amazing, but though he won't admit it, he still has much to learn. He was born in Asulon, near a cave that his father bought out from an old friend. After Blade's birth, the first thing he touched was his Great Grandfather's sword. He'd carry that sword wherever he went. He basicly used the handle as a pacifier. When he was of age, his father, Gorb, taught his boy the way to use a sword, and not flinging it about like a butter knife. at the age of twenty, Blade quickly grew accustomed to the blade's weight, handling, and size. Soon, after training, his father brought him down to the mines for some work. It was there that Blade would forever be changed.

They had dug too deeply into the mines. They had found a cove of monsters. Blade, being a young fool, immediately charged at them with only a pickaxe, but was soon overwhelmed. The only reason Blade is still alive to this day is because his father began hacking and slashing at the beasts, taking them down one by one, and leading them away. "My son..." Blade's father said. "From the day you were born... When I first laid my eyes upon you... I was... I was proud of you... Never forget that I love you. Take care of your mother. Make Asulon a better place. Be the Dwarf you were born to be..." These were the last Grob ever said to Blade as he led the beasts to the depths of the cavers, and forced Blade to escape. Grob is presumed dead, though no corpse has ever been found to this day. Blade, now thirty, seeks to make up for his past mistakes, instead of wallowing in his self pity. He began digging day in and day out, practicing with a sword when he woke from his slumber, and brought home as many minas as he could, and try to make a place for himself in this world. The only way to do himself justice was to try and win the people's favor, to become a great warrior, and maybe. Just maybe. Become King.

What are your Character's ambitions?: Blade's ambitions is to become a great warrior, one people look up to, and to perhaps even become king... Though, that is a long shot.

What is your character’s favorite tool? A sword, and a very close second is a pickaxe.:

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Blade's biggest talent is his abilities in combat.
