Out-Of-Character Information Please fill out the following questions as accurately as possible,
and ensure the essential details are accurate.
Minecraft Account Name: Racf92
How old are you?: 17
Time-Zone: Central, GMT -6
Have you read, understood and agreed to the rules?: Yes
What
previous experience have you had in role-playing?: I've done some
non-serious RP a few times on another server, and in real life I've done
theatre performances since 6th grade, so I have a good grasp of
characters and acting. I also have imagination and I'm almost always
thinking about stuff to do or say
How did you hear about
the The Lord of the Craft?: My friend applied here and wanted me to look
over her application. After reading it, my interest was sparked, and I
decided to register myself
Link any applications that you have previously made for the server: None so far
Have you posted this application on the Minecraft Forum? If not, then please do so (link above): Yes
Have you read the Elven lore, and shall you ensure you make use of it and follow it in your biography?: Yes Definitions In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any
definitions from elsewhere!:
Role-playing:
A form of story-telling that has multiple people with different roles,
known as characters, and is used to make things more interesting and or
more enjoyable. It is very similar to theatre improvisation in how it
works
Meta-gaming: Using information that isn’t in game to
determine stuff in-game, like someone across the world says “don’t go
into that pit” and suddenly you RP off of this information. It destroys
the fun of the game and makes it awkward to RP the result
Power-emoting:
Over-role-playing so that the other person has no choice other than the
one presented. IE I take an axe and chop so-and-so into many pieces
(forced death) It gets to a point where the fun is drained out from
RPing In-Character Information: Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Timothy Richard Parir
Current Age: Appears around 17 to 18 (In reality about 25 years old)
Sub-race (if any): 25% High Elf, 25% Wood Elf, 50% Human (explained in the biography)
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
Timothy
Richard Parir was born to a father who was half High Elf, half Wood Elf
and a mother that was human. He was born sometime in The Deep Cold just
outside of Normandor. While he was very young, around the age of 4, his
mother died of sickness, she was not able to survive in the elven lands
due to her fragile body. His father was very depressed for a few years,
and while Tim was out one day, he went off to join the army. Tim was
orphaned at the young age of 7. He would later learn that his father had
died in a struggle against the orcs. He was taken in by his uncle and
aunt, but he would still feel out of place without his parents. As an
elf, he didn’t really tend to fit in since he hardly looked like an elf.
His pale-looking skin and his sickly appearance were beacons of light,
isolating him from would-be friends. He only had a few friends, and they
were from when he was very young, before he tended to stick out. He was
often bullied by other elf children, but he never really seemed to
care, his mind was always somewhere else, thinking of things he would
rather be doing or stuff he should have done in the past.
When he
was around the age of 20, he would move out of his relative’s house and
build a house west of Normandor. He gathered up some sheep and started
to make a living from shearing sheep. He would also make potions as a
hobby, but his main source of income was his wool. He made enough to
live in relative comfort, as there was a good demand of wool in the area
he settled in. He would make many friends, but he would feel
unsatisfied with his life. When he was 25 (the time I will start the
game), he would start traveling around the elven forests and would come
to enjoy exploring.
Ambitions for the Future: Since he is unable
to make up his mind on what to do, he has no long term plans other than
herding his sheep, making potions, and having a fun time doing other
things
Personality: Nice but adamant, sometimes sarcastic
at times, this causes people to misunderstand him even if his intention
is good.
Skills: Smart, good at art, problem-solving,
sheep herding and potions. Also likes to take on new hobbies, although
he never tends to stick with the hobbies.
Appearance (this
must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Pale-looking skin,
dark-brown hair which tends to become messy, brown eyes, about 6ft tall,
likes to wear a vivid blue shirt and greyish pants. About 5ft 11 and
weighs around 125 pounds, and he is very skinny.

Any other details you wish to share about your character:
Fast
and agile, unable to make up his mind on what to do most of the time, a
strong sense of justice especially when wrong is being done, and tends
to be annoying due to his playful nature and sarcasm. His messy
hairstyle tends to cover up his elf-ears, making him appear to be human
at first glance.
Open-Response-Questions
Each
question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one
paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as
descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any
point.
____ 1. As you walk through the deep forests you
hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize
that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do
you react?
Answer: As I walked over to the High Elves, one of them looked up, saying “What are you doing here human?”
Surprised,
I fixed my hair, which showed my elf-ears to the High Elves. I said
“And what are you doing with that child, I thought you hypocrites
protected children”
“Why don’t you get lost, Halfling. You’re not
even a full elf. Leave before we teach you a lesson!” responded another
of the elves.
Furious, yet choosing my words carefully, I retorted,
“And why can’t you leave this poor child alone? You should be mocking me
instead of him.”
“Guys, lets teach this Halfling a lesson” the
first elf said to his friends. One slowly started to approach me, and
without warning he lunged at me. Agilely sidestepping his slow attack, I
smash him on the head as he passes by. He falls to the ground, but
quickly gets up and staggers backwards, away from me, rubbing the place
where he was hit.
“I think we should get out of here,” another elf
said with visible fear written on his face. They all run off, one of
them shouting back, “You won’t see the last of us, Halfling!”
The elf-child looks up at me and says “Thank you, mister”
“It’s
nothing, I was just doing what needed to be done. You should go on with
what you were doing before,” I said back to him. He runs off, and I
continue walking through the deep forests.
2. Whilst
wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with
a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground
with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins,
which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the
pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?
Answer: I quickly run and help support the old man, asking him “Are you alright? Should I call for some help?”
“No,
I think I’ll be fine, just help me support myself for a minute,” he
said back, reaching for his fallen walking stick. I reach out and grab
it for him and hand it to him.
“I think I can support myself now,
so let go of me for a minute,” he told me, and I let go. He wobbles as
he gains his balance, but quickly rights himself up with his walking
stick, and he starts to walk off.
“Sir, you forgot your money!” I
call back to him, but he appears not to have heard me. I quickly gather
up the coins and rush after him, calling for him to stop.
“Oh
that? You can keep it, and thanks for the help,” he told me once I had
stopped him. He starts to walk off again, and despite my protests, he
doesn’t stop. In exasperation, I decided that it would be best to take
the money and not to bother him since he insisted on letting me have it.
I call out to thank him, but he had already disappeared, without a
trace. With a bit of confusion, I pocket the money and walk off,
determined that if I were to see him again I would give him the money
back.
3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come
across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader
stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He
points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's
willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do?
(Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion
involved).
Answer: Looking around his carriage, I spot some
useful ingredients for potions, along with several shears, which would
be helpful with my sheep. I asked him, “How much for the potion
ingredients, and how much for the shears?”
“The shears cost 5 minas each, and the potion ingredients, how about I sell you a set of
them for 40 minas? I will include a brewing stand in the offer for
5 more minas,” the merchant responded. Searching through my
pockets, I found 30 minas, not to mention a good bit of wool and
some food.
“How about I buy the set for 30 minas, along with some food and wool?” I ask him.
The merchant frowned at me, deep in thought about my offer. He said, “How much wool would this entail?”
“Enough to make a good rug or piece of clothing out of it,” I responded, trying to hide my excitement in my voice.
“Alright, that sounds good. I haven’t had much to eat for a few days, so I guess that will do.”
I pay him the money, wool and food, and he hands over a potion set with enough materials to make a wide variety of potions.
“Thank you,” I responded to him.
“No problem, take care and be sure to come back for more items soon!”
I walk off, being sure to carry the set carefully in order not to drop it and wreck its contents.
(I tried to fix the formating of the application but it seems content to change itself. Oh well)
(Added a better skin. That took a lot longer than I would of liked it to, at least I was able to add my blue shirt in the new one)
