Out-Of-Character Information What’s your Minecraft Account Name?: - Chuint
How old are you?: - 21
What time-zone do you live in?: - EST
--- Have you ever roleplayed before - if you have, how?: -
Yes. Aside from a few other servers in the past, I have also roleplayed through both forums, blogs, and Skype. I’m also a fan of tabletop games; D&D in particular. I’ve actually got a character I play frequently through a tumblr blog, though it’s slow paced compared to a game like this.
I’d say I’ve been roleplaying for close to ten years, now.
Have you been on any other roleplaying
servers?: -
Yep! At least three others, in the past!
Have you applied to this server before?(Please link past
applications): - I have not.
--- How did you hear about us?: -
Browsing MinecraftForums for a new server to play on after a long hiatus.
What do you think the server will be like? –
A serious RP environment, with little OOC information being slung around and (relatively- all servers have a bit of each) little OOC drama.
Have you read and agreed to the rules?: - Yes.
What’s your favourite rule / the rule you agree with the
most?: -
That we must use skins that relate to our characters and the settings. I’m also a fan of not allowing others to kill animals that belong to folks, though I may just be paranoid about livestock.
--- Definitions
What is roleplaying?: -
Acting as though you are in another character’s shoes, whether they’re drastically different from you (you’re a tiny, sweet girl playing a huge vallianous rogue) or similar to your own mindset. It’s all about getting into their head and acting as they would in situations.
What’s metagaming?: -
Learning information that your character had no way of knowing OOC, and then using that information to your advantage IC.
What’s powergaming?: -
Forcing actions onto another character and otherwise acting in ways that would be entirely impossible for your character to realistically act out. Being able to dodge every hit in a fight, break a man’s leg with no resistance at all, deciding they’re immediately loved by everyone, etc.

Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family
(Include server lore when writing): -
Many would say that Amalthea’s life thus far has been far from remarkable,
and they would not be wrong.
Her family was the quiet sort. A mother and father, their home being a burrow near to their small farm plots. Their livelihood was in the earth, growing crops to be sold to cities and the occasional bit of livestock.
They were a jolly, friendly lot… given that you were also a Halfling. The Ashendales were often more suspicious than not of other races, whom they saw only as violent, strange folk. Nobody was exempt from this rule, and it wasn’t uncommon for the paranoid couple to refuse to leave the safety of their burrow’s surrounding area whenever speak of war or fighting reached their ears. They wanted no part in whatever silly politics taller folks were getting themselves tied up in.
Amalthea would often accompany her father during his outings to cities, helping to sell their wares where they could. She did so not for a love of bartering, though money did appeal to her, but simply to see what she could. Everything about cities fascinated her, but moreso the number of people than anything else. She’d been sheltered for most of her life, and was unused to anything aside from the small Halfling community she’d grown in.
It was for this reason that Amalthea (or ‘Ash,’ as she’d eventually come to insist upon. Her mother had been one for overly fanciful names) eventually packed her bags (or, bag. She really only had the clothes on her back and a small horde of food) and set out to make a new life for herself far from the small, empty farm.
What are they like (personality)?: -
Amalthea appears jolly and generous, handing out anything she deems not to be important to her or purposefully making far more food than she could ever eat, just to hand it off to others. She does have her greedy moments, however.
What are their ambitions?: -
While she has little idea of where she might like her life to go, she oftentimes finds her mind wandering to the gathering of wealth.
Do they have any special skills?: -
The only true skills the young Halfling holds seem to be limited to cooking and farming, as her mother and father taught her of each respectively.
She has basic understanding of several other skills such as woodcutting, likely picked up from her time surviving without a home and traveling, but could not be considered proficient in them.
What are their weaknesses?: -
Amalthea is weak and, understandably, rubbish when it comes to physical confrontations. She’s luckily been able to avoid all but a rare few childhood fights. More physical jobs such as mining or woodcutting are entirely possible for her but, currently, she tires quickly.
Offers of large sums of money or food may also sway her easily.
Give us a description of how they look: -
Standing at just below three feet, she’s about as one would expect of a Halfling. Her skin is fair, giving off the vibe of possible distant Northerner heritage, and her hair is a murky brown. Her muddy green eyes are often open wide and scanning. Large feet are never shoed, of course, and she regards them with a sense of pride and health.
Her usual choice in clothing amounts to a hooded tunic she took from home, various light leather garments worn beneath it. Nothing thick enough to be used as armor, but enough to keep her warm when need be.
Anything else you want to say about them?: -
Nothing necessarily comes to mind, I’m afraid! Please give us a screenshot of your character’s skin: -
