Muriance

Minecraft IGN: Xaephros Age: 14 Timezone: EST Roleplaying experience: Started ~1.5 years ago and played on two RP servers, The Ender Triumvirate and Gerbil Mountain. Both are closed now. Have you applied to this server before: Yes, twice. First was denied because apparently you can't apply as a Kharajyr. Link: http://www.lordofthe...96088-muriance/ Second was denied because of my stupid mistake: I thought 24 hours was the MINIMUM time for editing your application, instead of the maximum. :\ Link: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/96118-pendingmuriance-hephaestus/#entry867297 How did you hear about us: Wanted to RP again, browsed the MC Forums, found this page. What do you think the server will be like: Co-op survival with an emphasis on RPing. Read and agreed to rules: Yes. Favorite rule: Always hated the servers where your character permadies if someone kills it, so I guess it'd be "You don't need to permanently kill your character when you die." Roleplaying: A group of people get together and each one of them makes a character. Then they play as those characters, and build a story together. Metagaming: Using OOC knowledge to help your IC character. Powergaming: Making your character so strong that no one else can reasonably defeat them in combat. IC Name: Muriance Hephaestus Race: Dark Elf Gender: Male Age: 50 Backstory: Muriance was born into a wealthy family, and his father supplied him with everything he needed to become an elf worthy of high society. Although his family was traditionally a scholarly, sheltered clan, his father decided to give him a more practical education. Although he was still given a classical education, he was also instructed in everything from architecture to fishing to combat. He even learned some of the theory and history of magic, although he had never been so foolish as to attempt it without a guide. [N.B: In the roleplay, this translates to about half of the "base" learning stage of magic. Muriance does not have any skill in actually casting spells. I got the "learning stages of magic" thing from here: http://www.lordofthe...php?title=Magic) His father eventually decided to send him out into the world at the age of 50, to learn the skills necessary to survive in the world beyond his sheltered home. So, on his 50th birthday, Muriance bid goodbye to his family and set out on the Anthos Highway towards the lands of the humans. Personality: Muriance is friendly and outgoing, with a sarcastic sense of humor. He retains a certain level of suspicion towards humans, having never been inside one of their cities before, but doesn't have a problem interacting with other species. Ambitions: Muriance's primary goal is to better himself, whether it be mental and physical. He also harbors an envy of High Elves, and wishes to eventually be accepted into one of their cities. For now, though, he's content with just surviving and learning. Special skills: He knows quite a bit of the theory of blacksmithing, or building, or even magic, but he has not had much of a chance to put any of his knowledge into practice. He adapts quickly to new environments, and is deadly with a bow. Weaknesses: He is a sub-par warrior, never having much aptitude with a sword. Although he is strong and agile, he cannot put his natural advantages into use in combat. He is also very insecure about failure, and has a crippling fear of caves. Appearance: His skin color is nearly pitch black. His hair is approximately the same shade as his skin, a very dark grey. His eyes are bright green, making them the only spot of color in his body. His taste in clothes is, predictably, black: his clothing is plain, with a woolen shirt and leggings and black leather boots. Anything else: nothing to see here, move along Screenshot: http://imgur.com/qNojY6Q I'm afraid that you might not be able to see the hair/clothing properly; sorry if it's too darkly shaded.

Roleplaying: A way of playing pretend without feeling like you're 5 years old. Metagaming: Using OOC knowledge to help your IC character. Powergaming: Being unfairly overpowered. IC: Name: Muriance. No title. (I'm not sure whether Kharajyr get last names or not, so I'll leave it out for now.) Race: Kharajyr, Kha'Pantera. Gender: Male Age: Something of a quandary here. I want the character to be 15 (just passed his trials, and an adult by Kharajyr standards), but the rules say the minimum IC age is 18. Any special rules for Kharajyr? Backstory: Up until the age of 15, Muriance grew up a fairly normal Kharajyr. He had always had a talent for creating, be it carving delicate idols out of wood or helping build new rooms of the house for his family. Although he had always been the runt of the litter, he was a passable hunter and a better fisherman. The one small detail that marked him apart from his peers was that he had never put much hold in religion, regarding it as a mere waste of time despite how hard he tried to believe. Instead of fading away, this feeling only amplified as he grew older. Eventually, this doubt would prove to be his downfall. After he had managed to complete his trials, he attended a celebration with all of his older friends who had passed before him. Drunk on victory, Muriance worked up the courage to confide his true feelings about religion to his closest friend. The Kharajyr promptly betrayed him, and Muriance narrowly escaped sacrifice, evading the men sent for him and disappearing into the forest. Recognizing that he would never be able to go back to his homeland, Muriance now seeks to make a home among the humans. Although the prospect of living among "apes" for the rest of his life is none too pleasing, he knows that any alternative is better than dying upon the altar. Personality: Muriance is sardonic and freshly bitter, following his recent betrayal, and the fun-loving aspect of him has been blocked out. Suspicious and cynical, he is stranded in an unfamiliar world, and he finds it hard to work up any kind of friendship with the apes that he had held in disregard for most of his life. Ambitions: Right now, Muriance wants to survive. Long-term goals are entirely unclear at this point, and although he still entertains dreams of returning to his homeland, he realizes that it is impossible. Special skills: Building and creating, as mentioned above. Although he was the runt of the litter for a Kharajyr, he is still muscular by human standards, and is deadly with a bow. As is common for a Kha'Pantera, he is stealthy and agile. Weaknesses: He's unskilled at close-range combat. Although he is strong and agile, he has no idea how to use this to his advantage, and relied mostly on his long-range combat to survive his trials. Veering away from the physical side of things, he is unfamiliar with human culture, and many of the skills he learned in the jungle may not be of much use in the cities of humans. Appearance: Covered with black fur, he is 4'0" and has green eyes. He generally wears black, boiled leather: a vest that covers his upper chest, a pair of leggings, and light boots. Other notes: Muriance is a good learner and adapts quickly to new environments. Screenshot of skin: I'm still working on the skin, so I don't have this yet. I'll post it as soon as I can.
