Out-Of-Character Details
Minecraft Account Name: MortenLau94
How old are you?: I am 18 years old.
Time-Zone/Country of Residence: GMT + 1
Do you have a good grip on English grammar and the English language?: Well i live in Denmark, so english is not my main language. Yet i would believe that my english is understandable and that i speak with only few to zero grammar mistakes. Ive been taught english since the age of 10, which is one of the reasons that i am so good at it now.
Have you had any previous experience in roleplaying?: If we count the non-minecraft games i've been playing things such as: World Of Warcraft, Dragon Age: Origins, Oblivion and Skyrim. I have also been playing on a few minecraft servers one of them called CraftHammer, here i have played for almost a year now, and im also an Admin there.
Have you read and understood and agree to the rules?: Yes i have fully understood the rules and find them reasonable.
How did you hear about the Lord of the Craft?: CraftHammer is in some ways (i've heard) much alike this server, many of our players also goes on to "Lord of The Craft". So i would like to check it out for a good roleplay experience.
Link any previous applications you have made to the Lord of the Craft: This is my first application and hopefully also the only one :)
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/! : As soon as im done, i will submit it to the minecraft forums.
Definitions
In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is: Roleplaying is what the name says. You create a role, a character, a story, an idea and then act it out. If you for instance are an orc, then you would speak with grammar mistakes or very native. If your miner were around and rolplaying with people he would mainly then speak about mining and his interests in that particulare thing.
In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is: Meta-gaming is very simple, and should be followed by all. If i would go and talk to someone OOC about my character, it could be important knowledge or just a plain thing, if someone were near, heard it and then used it for RP purposes, then it would be defined as meta-gaming, since their character would never know this.
In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is: This is also very simple but can often be hard to do correctly for new players. If i were in a fight with someone we should have equal rights in the battle, i could not just start it with an emote saying: "Rodwen takes his bow out and shoots Merthyr in the chest piercing both his armor and heart, making him bleed to death"
In-Character Details
Character Name: Rodwen_Berendir
Character Race: Elf
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:
Rodwen lived in the outskirts of the Elven kingdom in Asulon. His father was a simple farmer and his mother stayed home with Rodwen and the many of his brothers and sisters untill. He was always meant to help his father in the farms and he actually were quite good at it, but he always wanted more. At early age he and his older brother practiced with some home made bows shooting after chickens from the neighbours village, and they found out they had a talent for it. He soon knew he wasn't supposed to live here, he was destined for more, what this more is he would not know, so he packed a bag with some essential things, wrote a letter explaining his feelings and took off. Maybe he'll return some day, who knows?
He wears a green pair brownish boots, with a matching set of gloves, a pair of green pants and a green shirt. On his back he has a quiver full of arrows and a bag. He has long ears and blond hair, almost invisible due to his green hood.
He has a mild temper, is known in his home village as the warm hearted and helpfull person. He could never harm a fly but if he had to he would, he knows that the road he is taking will test him and he is prepared and openminded for whatever is coming his way.
What are your characters ambitions?: He sets to the capitol of the elves to be someone, he likes to shoot with bow and arrow and he thinks he has a talent for this. He can do almost all work there is to do, but he did not came this long way for nothing he hopes to be in the army and through that stribe for greater renown.
Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here: I attached an in-game screenshot right here, you can also see my skin in my minecraft forum profile picture, i have also described it in the paragraph above.
Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: He believes in the expression: "Laborare pugnare parati sumus" which means "To work, or to fight, we are ready"
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?
*Feels pity for this soul, he is simply trying to make a living and everybody is just passing by, he seems nervous, you can see that he has to sell at least a few wares today to even be able to survive.
*Goes over and to see what he have to offer.
Rodwen: "Hello there dwarf, what goods are you selling today?"
Dwarf: "He....Hello sir" "I have many va..rious ores for you to buy"
Rodwen: "Ahh i see, i wish to help you good man you seem like you need to sell something, sadly i also just arrived to the town and i haven no money, can we make a trade i could use some iron?"
Dwarf: "The pri..pri..price for iron cou..could be some bread and some slices of me...meat si..sir"
Rodwen "Its a deal my good man"
*Opens up the bag takes double the amount he asked for and finishes the deal.
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?
*Looks around making sure nobody saw him.
*Looks around and spots a nearby tree, climbs up the tree and awaits the situation.
Orc: "Now dwarfee man, Ragash me take money...give Ragash bag!!"
Dwarf: "I...I...NO..ive bee..been selling wares in Arethor to get all thi..this. Now i ca..can finally go home to my fami...family"
* Notices that its the same dwarf from the market in Arethor, a few weeks ago. Awaits the situation.
Orc: Ragash says now, me strong orcee, do Ragash what wish for.
*Spots the orcs large axe almost ready to be swong at the dwarf.
*Takes action, brings forward his bow, locates the weakest spot on the orc and shoots
Swush
*The shot was a hit, the arrow had pierced the orcs armor right above his albow and made him drop the axe.
Dwarf: N..now i think you must le...leave
*notices the orc looking heavily around trying to locate the shooter, then picks up the axe with his bad arm and runs down Oren Road.
Rodwen: "Now i saved your life twice, dont make me do it once more"
*Laughs warmly and walks away.
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?:
*Runs over to the man
Rodwen: "Are you okay sir?"
Human: "Hrmf" "Yes i believe so, you would not mind to help me"
*Walks to the nearest tree breaks of a sticks
*Takes sword out, removes all the bark and hands it over to the old man
Human: "Ahh would you mind helping me up? My legs are not as good as they used to be"
Rodwen: "Yes indeed sir, i've learned about respect from my father and mother, i would always help a person in need"
*Hands the human the money
Human: "Graditudes, here take a few coins as a sign of my gratitude"
(There are other ways of gaining money than stealing them :))
