If you've ever logged into TeamSpeak, Minecraft, or even the website, he already has your IP. On another note, the command on OS X (and I think GNU/Linux too? I'd have to check whether it works on my laptop) is "traceroute" as opposed to "tracert". It looks a bit like this: It works the same, but unlike Windows users you can copy-paste from your terminal rather than taking screenshots ;) If you need to terminate the traceroute early, simply press Ctrl+C.

((More like a journal. If you see my char IC, feel free to post deviations or your perspective on events. OOC reponses are welcome, though.))

((I assume this is where we post misc RP threads - if not, please feel free to move it to a more sensible section)) ((First day update - it was pretty interesting to amusing at times, and since no one was really around, I want to be able to share this.)) Eisavornon rose to his feet slowly. He was surrounded by the forests, which he remembered and yet... there was some new feel to the place. He didn't understand what it was. He must have bumped his head or something. He never remembered falling unconscious but he must have done to have ended up in this situation. Immediately he begins scurrying about the place. Anything to trigger a more vivid memory. Vaulting over fences, he finds a path and follows it. It leads him to a shallow slope. Staring up, he decides it might be worth climbing it, after all it would allow him to survey the area. Quickly, he reaches a flat area of land. There are one or two trees, and it looks out over the forest. Here, he sits for a while, gazing over and admiring the forest's beauty. After some time, it begins to rain. Eisavornon steps into a brisk jog for some shelter, but by doing so he loses the forest. He hits the coast, where the ocean seems fairly calm. It can't be too far, can it? After some debating, he decides to swim. At first, it's fine, but after a while the waters begin to get colder. Still, with determination he presses on. A little further, and a shark starts swimming around him, even daring to take a bite. He kicks back, which seems to temporarily deter the shark. Soon after, a squid comes flying out of no where. Was he hallucinating? What was happening? He feels a sharp pain in his back as the squid latches on and bites him, once, twice, he didn't quite know how this was possible but grits his teeth and continues on. How far was this? It seemed much further than expected, there were huge icy cliffs that seemed impossible to climb, so the only option was to continue swimming. A little later, a horde of beasts rose from the waters, they all seemed to be wearing golden boots and immediately started chasing him. However, they were slow swimmers so even in his tired state, Eisavornon could evade them. Eisavornon was doubting himself. "It has to be the cold, it's getting to my head", he convinced himself. The sea became rough, huge waves tearing down. Still, he kept going, even after being beaten against the rocks. Finally, a sheet of ice appears. Eisavornon stumbles out of the sea, scraping himself on the ice, wincing. He shakes himself a little dry and shivers in the cold. He can't allow himself much time though, since the horde is still close on his tail. The squid is still following him. Strangely, it seems to be throwing apples at him, which he takes happily, and they quench his hunger. On the ice, he slides along, trying to keep a safe distance between himself, and whatever monsters were behind him. Eventually, he reaches a port. Scrambling up onto the sand, he runs inside one of the houses, which seems unoccupied. Luckily, the fire is still lit, and he warms himself here for a few hours before gritting his teeth and making the decision to go on. He ventures further, into a town. It seems by now that the squid has given up, and is no longer following, neither are the huge hordes of monsters. However, one or two of the monsters remain and attack him as he reaches the town, knocking him unconscious. With no help, he bleeds to death. Suddenly, he feels a body reappear again. He's in a sort of temple, with no recollection of what was happening, which he quickly runs out of to attempt to get some sense of direction. His apples are gone, but his pack now contains some bread, which is quite strange. It's contained in a bag labeled "Monk bread". Oh, so the monks of the temple must have left him with some provisions. That's kind of them. Running along the roads, he sees waterfalls, mines, and all sorts of beautiful architecture. He tries to follow the signs back to Malinor as closely as possible, but on the way, once again he loses his path and ends up lost. Now, he must find his way back to his homeland, and find some way of making a sustainable life.

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?: Lucariatias How old are you?: 17 What time-zone do you live in?: GMT Have you ever roleplayed before - if you have, how?: Forum RPs & several Minecraft RP servers including Gildorym, Asmalur & Vayleryn Have you been on any other roleplaying servers?: Yup - Gildorym, Asmalur & Vayleryn Have you applied to this server before? (Please link past applications): Nope. How did you hear about us?: Word of mouth, essentially. It's hard to remember a time when I didn't know LotC existed, but it was probably about a year ago? What do you think the server will be like? Like most RP servers - very pretty buildings, fancy mechanics that tend to make the game a little harder, very immersive - however, this will by far be the biggest RP server I've played on. Have you read and agreed to the rules?: *goes to read rules* *comes back* Check! What’s your favourite rule / the rule you agree with the most?: Probably the physics-defying buildings one ;) Things can quickly get ugly with floaty buildings and unsupported caverns. 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?: Taking on the role of a character and playing out actions as they would. What’s metagaming?: Using information in-character that you have learnt out-of-character that your character would not realistically know What’s powergaming?: Forcing actions on someone without giving them a chance to respond, or completely overpowering them in some way. 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?: Eisavornon Lanésryl What race are they (and sub-race)?: Wood Elf What sex are they?: Male How old are they?: 183 Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): Eisavornon was born into a small family of wood elves in the forests of Malinor. His mother and father lived off the fruits of the trees and bushes, and had great knowledge of what each could be used for. Within this culture, he learned of how to nurture the forest and work with it. They despised other races who came to destroy it, but tended to be very shy around others, often opting to hide away instead of conversing. Life was happy within their family, being the only child Eisavornon benifited from full attention from his parents, and even living off seemingly little, they were always content, playing music in the evenings and playing in the forests in the daytime. One morning, around his 61st birthday, his parents were nowhere to be found. He searched high and low for weeks on end, but to this day has not found them. After this event, Eisavornon decided to dedicate his life to the ways of the forest, to see everything around him grow and to give back to what supported his family through his upbringing, and in a way continuing what his parents loved the most. Due to his avoidance of people, he knows little of current affairs outside of the forests and woodland creatures. What are they like (personality)?: Eisavornon rarely speaks to anyone, and even in the rare case that he does, is still very shy. He does not know much of Elven culture beyond what he was taught in his early life, and as such does not seem to fit in with others very easily, opting for a quiet and solitary life. He is distrusting of other races, and does not wish to see the forest harmed in any way. He does not know the land outside Malinor, and as such, has a tendency to get lost. If one gets to know him however, he will be kind towards them, teaching them of the woodland creatures and plants, supporting them in any way he can, and perhaps offer a meal. What are their ambitions?: Simply, to see the forest flourish into bloom each spring. He wishes to see the population appreciate it's beauty and respect the ways of life he was taught in his upbringing. Do they have any special skills?: He has a keen eye, and tends to be very good with a bow. He practices using a range, and will refuse to shoot any living creature. His hearing also tends to be very good, picking up the slightest of sounds, or rustlings in the bushes. What are their weaknesses?: He is weak at conversing with people, and as such may be misunderstood easily. He can be very introverted, and needs a lot of time to himself. His close combat ability is severely limited, and with a sword he is at a huge disadvantage. Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: His skin is of a pale brown colour, one could almost describe it as beige. He has long, silvery-blonde hair with streaks of green. His clothing tends to be minimal, perhaps a light tunic and trousers of rough cloth, and he often chooses to walk barefoot, resulting in a tough layer of skin forming on the bottom of his foot. Anything else you want to say about them?: It isn't often that he's spotted around, and he has very few friends. He dislikes handling money wherever possible, and he will never eat meat, even if his life depends on it. Please give us a screenshot of your character’s skin:

It's Loo-car-ee-at-ee-ass if you're interested, but seriously, just say Luca (or Luc) if you can't say it ;)

I guess I have to sign up to the forums eventually :P For those who don't know me, I've been hanging around TeamSpeak for a little while - don't be afraid to say hi. I've lead a development team previously for Gildorym from October 2012 through to August this year, and am now primarily working on Vayleryn, where I am the sole developer currently. (Vayleryn has yet to launch officially) I've been in contact with a few people here previously - Telinir, Reag, Respiren, and Dusk to name just a few, and Tythus has requested that I help out here, so you may see some of my work from time to time. Anywho, in true programmer fashion - Hello World! I look forward to working with you guys, be it occasionally or on a regular basis (and establishing some sense of order into your dev team >:3 )
