Nice job, good to see guides like this come up. Being a healer myself I've gotten to see a considerable number of people who assume a bolt to any region of their skull can simply be "ripped out & stitched up" to the point that its depressing to see the Roleplay ruined for bothsides. I almost wish I could tack this thread on my door along with a /read before you speak/.

*Various posters are scattered throughout Oren* - Overview - The Brotherhood was formed when two men realized the need for an elite force in Kingston and Salvus to keep the peace when Shields could not. The increasing threat and boldness of bandits, rogue factions and Blackmonts drove the Onyx Brotherhood to force.

Oh, ha ha ha! Now I just feel stupid. Thanks! -RESOLVED

Hi, I hate to be a burden to ask, but I am still stuck on 1.4.7 and if I am not mistaken, LotC is set to operate from 1.4.5. I have tried the thread on how to downgrade (MC Downgrader) but my computer for some reason refuses to download anything from Adfly. Thus, I tried replacing my .jar, only to get the infamous frozen "Done loading" screen. Nothing seems to fix this without either updating or replacing the .jar back, ruining the entire point of it in the first place. Any help on this will be very much appreciated.

Definitions In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!: Role-playing: I would define role-playing as taking control of another person, a character, and inheriting their own beliefs, abilities, and thoughts, to control them while setting aside your own. To me, in a sense and some cases, like acting. Meta-gaming: The use of Out-Of-Character knowledge to benefit yourself In Character. Power-emoting: Completing an impossible action or more commonly, causing yourself to win a battle you did not even fight. In-Character Information: Complete the following biography on your character: Full Name: Jake "Blitz" Holliday Current Age: 24 Sub-race (if any): Northerner Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Born into Oren, his family was under the constant threat of the undead. As a child, the mere thought of aggressive walking corpses chilled his bones more than the harsh winters ever could. Despite the fact, he loved the woods. Most of his time he spent hunting, fishing, and enjoying the forests. On one of his hunting trips he found a Tokay gecko, which stays with him to this day. He named it Chimera. His family lived on the outskirts of town, providing for their own needs and rarely heading to the market. His father taught him to be a doctor and allowed him to help work at the clinic when he was fourteen. Naturally an introvert, he usually kept to himself yet stayed loyal to the few friends he had. Several years past before he enlisted in the military as a medic and got the nickname "Blitz". It was midnight when a surge of undead flooded into the town. Taken off guard, and still half asleep he mistook the heavy banging on the door for a person knocking, and opened it. The rotted corpse lunged at him just as he came to his sense and lashed out at it with his knife. Stepping outside he saw bodies littered the streets and hurried over the help a group of men fighting their way out of an alley. He caught up to them just as an undead grabbed him from behind. He jumped back but it slashed at him, gouging his left eye out before he could sink his dagger into its stomach. The fight permanently scarred his face, and his pride. Ambitions for the Future: He never had a real dream or ambition, but lived life day to day as it came. The closest things that have come close to a primary desire for him were money, land, sleep, and food. Personality: Primarily quiet and peaceful, he keeps to himself as much as possible. Normally only talks much to his closer friends or unless its truly necessary. He has a strong compassion for the poor and needing, causing him to be susceptible to being easily deceived. Skills: Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Often wears a large red overcoat and a bandana tied around his face. His left eye was slashed out scarring his forehead. Medium built and stands around 5'10" with short crew cut blonde hair. Any other details you wish to share about your character: 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. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do? Answer: Jake follows the man from a distance, careful not to seem as if he is following him. As the shady figure fades into the palace he approaches him. "What business might you have with the Emperor dressed like that?" "Business that is none of your own," the man snaps back caught off guard. Jake raises his voice just loud enough to be heard from a good distance "Just thought the guards would have possibly disliked you carrying that blade under your robes in here is all," "Is a man not liable to defend himself? Now scurry on about your own life," the man retorts back with a little anxiety in his tone. Jake raises his voice even louder and begins to speak when the man lunges at him, pulling a small scimitar from its sheath but is interrupted by the blow of the back of a guard's halberd to his head. "Hm, don'know how this one managed to slip through. Much appreciate the help." Jake nods and walks back out onto the busy streets. 2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react? Answer: Jake sticks to the woodline, creeping closer in to listen to them. After he is fairly sure of their intent he unsheathes his sword and grabs a small rock from nearby. He slings the rock as hard as he can, nailing one of the bandits in the back of the head. As he turns to look behind him Jake sprints from the opposite side of the woods sending a deadly slash accross the other man's chest and kicking him to the ground. The old man stumbles back into the house, barring the door as the second man lunges at Jake. He side steps around him gashing the man's side as he sprints back into the woods. As the bandit starts to chase off after him the old man sneaks up planting his knife between his ribs. Jake watches from the woods line as the remaining bandit crumples to the ground before walking back off to the dirt trail. 3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens). Answer: "Any medical supplies? Tools?" The man digs through several bags before pulling out several boxes "Aye, a few." Jake opens one of the boxes and examines everything very closely "Seven Minas work for you?" "You don't think that is a little low lad?" The man sighs "I could do ten" "Deal." He searches around some more before spotting a shining piece of metal under the table. The man pulls out the large pair of iron gauntlets and sets them on top of one of the boxes. "And I s'pose I could part with these for the right price. Made by my father some years back for a man but he never came back for them. They're of the highest quality iron, I assure you. Twenty Mina's and they're yours." Jake tries them on and digs around in his bag before handing over the money. "I ought to get going, thanks for everything." As he turns to walk away a rather large crossbow catches his eyes from under the clutter of the table. After looking it over several times he drops the bag of Minas on the table. "How much?" "More than you've got Im afraid." "What if I can hit that candle over there? Up for some sport?" "Sport, not gambling. Come back with the Minas or don't come back at all." With that he walks off still content with what he did manage to get.

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? Spotting the small man behind the booth looking quite desperate for money, Jake's guilt gets the best of him. He approaches the man and takes a look at his mediocre shop."Anything of interest?" The man calls out hopingly. Jake buys some of his basic tools and ores to help the man out a little. "So yer a blacksmith are ye?" "Not quite, but I'm sure I'll find a use for it." As he turns to walk away a glimmer of metal catches his eye from under the table. "Oh, and I s'pose I could part with these aswell, for the right price." The man pulls the pair of gauntlets out and sets them on top of the table. "How much?" "Twenty minas and they're yours! Hand crafted by my father years ago for a man, only he never came to get them. The highest quality of iron, I assure you." Jake tries them on and eventually hands him the the money. "Thank you sir. I should get going, I have business to attend." 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? Jake listens from afar until he is sure the Orc is looking for a fight before approaching them. "Hey, c'mere you fat cactus" "Mind yer own bidnez human!" the Orc retorts back. ((There's my best attempt at "bastardizing" the common language. Keep in mind my character isn't an Orc, don't worry.)) Jake continues to stand there mocking him as the orc turns his attention, now ignoring the other man. "I is going to stomp yur guts i'to yur brains you li'l pest!" The dwarf takes the opportunity, slamming his hammer into the back of the orcs skull before looking back at Jake. "Thanks for making that easier for me lad." "My pleasure. Good luck dealing with him." He glances back at the unconscious Orc crumpled over on the dirt as he 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?: Jake immediately helps the man over to sit down against a tree before gathering all the Minas into his leather pouch and handing it to the man. He climbs up a tree to cut off a limb suitable to be used as a cane and shaves the bark off around the top, to be used as a handle before presenting it to the man. "Thank you son" He nods. "Where are you heading to, sir?" "Malinor." "May I accompany you there? It is on my way anyhow." "If you wish. Thank you." P.S.- I used what lore I could but I stayed away from events like the Phoenix Uprising since I was unsure if it was something that may have happened before my character's time. Thanks for taking the time to review!
