Out-Of-Character Details Minecraft Account Name: Angrboden How old are you?: 20 Time-Zone/Country of Residence: Western Canada Do you have a good grip on English grammar and the English language?: Yes I do. Have you had any previous experience in roleplaying?: Indeed. It's a very big thing in my family, just about everyone does it. I also LARP monthly. Have you read and understood and agree to the rules?: Yes! =) How did you hear about the Lord of the Craft?: I heard about it from my cousin, who actually had this account. We tend to bounce around servers with it, but this one is supposedly quite highly aclaimed. Link any previous applications you have made to the Lord of the Craft: I, personally, haven't submitted any. Have you posted this application on Minecraft Forum? If not, post it here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/832121-the-lord-of-the-craft-enter-the-world-of-asulon-o-f-f-i-c-i-a-l-l-y-t-h-e-n-o-1-r-p-s-e-r-v-e-r-100-unique-gameplay/! : I'll do that. Definitions In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is: Roleplaying is sort of like improv acting without an audience. You occupy an imaginary character, and place the character in situations to engage in living a realistic universe different from our own. Makes for some lovely story writing! In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is: Using out-of-character information to gain an unfair in-character advantage. In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is: Using overpowered actions to gain an unfair advantage. /emote punches your head off. It's not cool. Though I totally could punch your head off. B) In-Character Details Character Name: Melmer o'Humn Character Race: Halfling Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary: Melmer was a young-hearted halfling who was steadily approaching his middle age. Living in the chaos of a constantly tumultuous world, all he ever wished for was the ability to live as a halfling should, happy, modest, and with many-a-friend. As an o'Humn, the love of a humble life ran in his blood- but as a citizen of Asulon, it wasn't in ready supply. When the ships began eastward, he saw it as an opportunity. If he was the first out- a frontiersman, claiming the lands not yet seen by a farmer's eye, he could build a life for himself. He could have his humble world. So he pieced together his own ship, and began eastward- eventually getting separated from the fleet due to an accident in navigation. Lost in a storm, it soon became that all the little fellow had left was his dog. He could have sworn it'd be his end, as he couldn't afford to share what little bread he had left with his hound- before a human tradeship came across their derelict vessel. They rescued him, fed him, and took him to the lands in the east. He allowed the captain to keep his dog, as the man seemed quite taken with the pup, on the promise that he'd take better care of it than the enterprising halfling could. And with that, he started out, hoping to find his way. What are your characters ambitions?: To start a farm, and to find a way to live cozy under the protection of one of the kingdoms- safe from the fears of banditry and war. Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here: Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: Open-Response-Questions Each question here must be answered with a minimum of one full paragraph, and detail the scene you are given in the way it would happen in roleplay. These questions should be answered in first person. Be detailed, not short. Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response? I would be certain to examine his wares, though moreso out of dutiful obligation. On the off-chance that I'm in a city, it'd be for my own business- but I'd never let go an opportunity to help out another fellow in need. On that note, I'd probably buy something out of obligation as well, though I'd have a big smile on my face. Trying my hardest not to be pushy, I'd see if he had anything to do after he was done working. Maybe I could buy him an ale! You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do? My first thought would be to run. Put as much distance between me and danger as is conceivably possible. If I manage to choke that down, though, my best bet would be to approach and try to defuse the situation. Using humor, a smile, and strategic positioning of myself between the two of them. If it ends up violently regardless, though, you'd better believe I'm running back home. I've never held a sword in my life, and I don't very well plan to! Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?: After I manage to strangle out my surprise, I'd gather his minas and place it safely back on his person, before helping him back up. I'd try my best to help him along, though my stature might make that a bit difficult, towards my home. The old fellow could use a meal and a quick place to rest after taking a dive like that- and knowing he's safe I'd be able to go out and find some help. To make sure he's alright- or at the least, to get him a new walking stick. (( I was unsure of how to properly do these paragraphs. If I did it incorrectly, if you could clarify I'd rectify, as it were. ^_^ ))

Your comment convinced me. I'm rolling a halfling. =D
