In-Game Race(s):] High Elf
*Age: 16
Time on Server: Around 3 weeks I think. Meh, time flys.
Timezone: CST Texas to be specific.
Do you fully understand the server rules?: Absolutely
Have you ever been banned, recieved a strike, or a warning on Lord Of the Craft before?: Nada
Why do you want to join the Application Team?: Basically, The more members the quicker the response to an app and possibly a better reply. I have an, I'd say, Advanced understanding or Apps. Especially whitelist RP applications.
Why do you feel you should be allowed to join the Application Team?: Why and If I join is your decision but I must say I am on the forums the majority of my day and anything that needs a reply, feedback, or advice you can most likely see my opinions scattered across the thread.
Do you feel you could perform your work professionally and effectively?: Most certainly. Like previously stated I have more than adequate experience with applications of all sorts.
What do you feel are the five most important parts of a server application, and why?:
Five? Quite a specific question but very well.
The OOC section answered completely and seriously is important. You would be surprised how many apps I have seen that people troll their way through the OOC thinking it is unimportant. It shows a lot of maturity or the lack of it, the OOC does.
Definitions answered completely and /UNplagiarized/ . The nerve of some people Copy/Pasting straight from a wiki or other server... Knowledge of RP is reasonably important but if I can see they are not very experienced or new to RP I would send a PM with advice and let them edit it if possible. Noted I have already sent a couple of PMs to certain applicants with some tips but that is irrelevant
Now to the fun parts! The base character creation is pretty important considering it is the basis of all RP that will come from that character in the future. Lets go point by point shall we? Alright so point one, The Name. Considering what race and Sub-Race the character race is would decide the type of name, what it can and can't be according to culture. Example, A dark elf could not be NAMED (nicknames are a different story) something along the lines of Orgruk or Edward, Nor could an orc be named Princeton unless supported and explained by a well written bio. Point Two, Race and Sub-race. Take for example the character's name was Bartholomew the Loyal or whatever cliche' title a typical knight would use, This man could not be a High Elf chairman, The name would not fit with lore not to mention all the ridicule the poor man would get about his impure name.I would not deny an app on the basis of a bad name but I would make sure it is changed or supported with correct lore. Point Three Age. This is self explanatory. A human could not live to be 400yr and still be able to run circles around a group of bandits. Nor could a pure High Elf be 20 but look...... 20 the aging is /outlined/ in the wiki I see many people IG that even break this lore.
The Bio! Possibly my favorite but the most I find myself ridiculing. A good backstory makes an app. Of course I would look for grammar and spelling, along with Lore and creativity. I also look for originality, It makes my day to read a non cliche' app and It bugs me so many people stick to the whole 'Bandets raded me an keelid me fater an muder an I run way' Also uniqueness shows potential for enhancing RP and is a huge plus in my book.
Character Goals, appearance and characteristics. The character's mindset tward the world infront of them can change the entirety or RP they produce. More common uses like 'Adventure an loot an stuff ye' sluggard!' are not very unique and while they are not too important to a verdict they can show the level of RP the player can preform. Lastly, The skin. The skin of a character can do many things and show many things as well. A good skin (like mine *wink) can draw in potential roleplayers and honestly a badly done skin is just an eyesore. Another point is a way to 'kiss up' like additional info can be a bad sign varying on the severity and content. Again not something I would base a denial off of.
