Out-Of-Character Information The simplest section of the application! Simply answer these questions so we can get to know you a bit better. What’s your Minecraft Account Name?: - atlasboy38 How old are you?: - 15 What time-zone do you live in?: - CST Have you ever roleplayed before - if you have, how?: - No. Have you been on any other roleplaying servers?: - No. Have you applied to this server before?(Please link past applications): - N/A How did you hear about us?: - Through my friends. What do you think the server will be like? - Quite frankly, I believe it will be a truly wonderful experience. Have you read and agreed to the rules?: - Yes, indeed. What’s your favourite rule / the rule you agree with the most?: - No Meta-gaming. Meta-gaming gives way to much of an advantage to any player and it's simply not fair to the others. Definitions This is simply so that we can get an understanding of how much you know about roleplaying. Feel free to Google the answers, but make sure that you write the reply in your own words, not another website / person's! What is roleplaying?: - Creating a character, with a personality that would fit into the lore of what ever the setting may happen to be, and playing it to be who it is. What’s metagaming?: - Taking outside materials and information, and using it as an advantage to your character in game, even though the character itself would not know this information What’s powergaming?: - I think this would be best put in an example. Example: Person 1 (The Good Roleplayer): *lunges forward attempting to stab Person 2* Person 2 (Power Gamer): *jumps to the side and crashes down his axe on Person 1's skull* ((Basically the problem here is that Person 2 did not allow Person 1 to emote, such as to dodge, or maybe accept his fate.)) In-Character Information Now you actually make your character - be creative but stay reasonable! Make sure they make sense and that they follow lore. Try to come up with a character that you actually want to play. What’s your character called?: - Karin Trahve What race are they (and sub-race)?: - High Elf What sex are they?: - Female How old are they?: - 18 Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): - The first rays of the morning sun pierce Karin's eyes. She blinks a few times, trying to clear her blurry tears from the night before. She had stayed up all night reading the last letter her brother, Griffin, would ever write. He had passed away only a week ago. Griffin was to come home today, for today, is Karin's 7th birthday. Karin hops from a carefully woven hammock, her legs a bit wobbly. She slips out of her nightgown and, waddles around the room in search of her special white dress. She picks it up off the wooden floor, brushing it off before squeezing into it, to button up. Karin entwines a weave of cherry blossoms, creating a circlet in her rose-dyed hair and, rushes to the kitchen, clutching onto the letter tightly in her tiny hands. In the other room Karin's widowed mother softly sings, yet to Karin, it only echoes, seeming so distant... Karin walks up to her mother and gently tugs on her skirt. "Mommy?" Karin looks up, her lip wobbly. She holds back her tears waiting for her mother to reply. Karin's mother stops singing and slowly turns to her daughter, a serious expression crossing her face. "Today's the day you leave the nest Karin," her mother shoves a knapsack and bow into Karin's arms. "Mommy, no!" Karin cries out. Karin's mother's expression changes from sadness to anger, "I said get out of here Karin! If Griffin leaves, then you leave too or, I'll make you!" Karin's mother falls to her knees, gripping her head as she goes through a mental breakdown. Karin's mother reaches for a plate on the table, hurling it at Karin, "Get out of here, you stupid, worthless child!" she yells. The plate crashes right at Karin's feet, shards fly everywhere, cutting her legs. Karin looks at her mother, completly shocked and frightened. She turns her heels and rushes out the door, her hair flowing behind. Karin scales down the ladder of the twisting oak tree where her home has nested for years. She knew Malinor was a grand place, some plants stood tall and ominous to a little girl, but that wasn't going to stop her. She darted past many of her kind. In the distance were a few elves, gathered in a group, practicing archery. Over to her right was a pregnant elfess, a very rare sight to anyone here. To the left were to elfin children chasing after a squirrel, giggling wildly with excitement. Despite all this though, Karin closed her eyes and carried on, through endless forests of green, tangled roots, and overgrown brush. She sprints till the point her heart can take no more. Karin collapses into a pool of tears. "There's no turning back now," she thinks to herself. Karin looks out into the distance, past these these trees is an endless field of tall grass and, giant rolling clouds, growing darker by the second. A crash of lightning strikes down and, roaring boom comes from the skies above. Rain pours down, flooding the ground almost immediately. Karin shrieks in fear as raindrops pierce the letter, blotting out the ink. She quickly stuffs the letter in her pocket and hurries off to look for shelter from the storm. A large, towering willow tree stands in the middle of the field, the only thing to be seen for miles. Karin crouches down under it, it's branches whipping around wildly in the wind. She pulls out the letter, using the knapsack to shield it from the rain and proceeds to read the very end, the only part she hadn't gotten to... "Remember the story I told you before I left, Karin? It was the Story of the Ghost Fox. Everyone laughed at the Ghost Fox because he was different. Well, the Ghost Fox still remained strong no matter what, and in the end, he led all the little critters to safety from the big grizzly bear. My point is, always stay strong like the Ghost Fox, Karin. If you ever feel troubled and he crosses your path, follow him. He will lead you to safety." "I know you're going to do great things in this world, Karin. You'll grow up to be a strong, beautiful woman, I just know it. You have a good future ahead of you, remember that and, remember me." Sincerely, Your brother Griffin Karin smiles softly and puts the letter away. Just in the corner of her eye she spots a flash of white, emerging from a hole in the ground. She turns her head and, sitting right before her is a beautiful, white fox... ~*~*~*~ 9 Years Later... Karin draws back the string of her bow, she carefully aims right at the eye of a doe and shoots. The deer falls to the ground with a thump, only to be dragged home. Karin carries it back and drops the doe's body down, onto the leaf-covered ground before her house, setting it out to feed the creatures of the woods. All these years had passed since she followed the Ghost Fox to the village. Karin settled on the outskirts of it, hunting each day, with her favorite bow. Maybe it was luck or, maybe just faith that brought her a better life. But all she could do now is just simply smile. Karin looks up to the sky, "Thank you for believing in me." She speaks as though if her brother was right there. Just out of the dark woods emerges the head of the Ghost Fox, it's eyes sparkle and, the faintest smile crosses its face, just like her brother used to do... What are they like (personality)?: - Karin is shy at first when she meets strangers but, that quickly fades away. She's always high-spirted, and extremely lovable. She's usually independent but, if in great need, she will take help from others. What are their ambitions?: - Karin wishes to become the best archer throughout the whole village and, to raise a wonderful family of her own. Do they have any special skills?: - Karin is skilled with a bow, and very crafty, she loves to sew and make art for others to enjoy. What are their weaknesses?: - Karin's emotions. They dramatically affect her in some situations where she must remain strong. Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: - Karin dyed her hair a pale, rose color, despite the fact she knows it is a shameful deed for a high elf to do. Entwined in her flowing hair is a red rose. She has soft, brown eyes and rosey cheeks. Karin always wears her arm braces, for almost every day she's hunting till the sun falls down, and the moon, rises up with its infinite army of stars. Anything else you want to say about them?: - Karin always wears a small necklace with a silver pendant of a fox on it. Enlayed in the silver fox is a delicate ruby eye. Please give us a screenshot of your character’s skin: - Fantastic, there you go. No need to write any more - simply post this on our forums (and on MinecraftForum like it says above) and wait!
