Luc

MC Name: Swampratluc Character Name: Rae Goldhand Profession: Smith Have you read the clan history?: Yes Short Bio: When Rae was 34yrs old he began learning how to fight but when he turned 44 he was allowed to go on his first mining trip and decided that he enjoyed and was more skilled at mining than fighting but continued training with an axe whenever he wasn't mining. By time Rae was 53 he was fairly skilled at fighting and mining but he was in an unfortunate mining accident where his left foot was crushed and had to be amputated. The amputation of his foot prevented him from mining and fighting. Soon after Rae had recovered from the mining accident and had an artificial foot made for him he took up smithing. Rae is now 57yrs old and has been using an artificial foot for the last 4yrs but is still unable to mine, carry very heavy items, run, but has some skill as a smith and has regained some ability to fight. (I won't be able to sprint or wear diamond armor, I will also limit the amount of inventory spaces that I can use, and the amount of fighting I do to RP the amputated foot) What are your characters ambitions?: To become a master smith and successful merchant What kind of experience are you looking for in this clan?: A good RP experience What clan member are you related to, and do you have permission to roleplay as their relative, son, or daughter, or were you bloodbonded?: Rae Goldhand is the son of Hoff Goldhand, Yes I have received permission. Do you swear your loyalty to the Goldhand Clan, and to carry out the honor and pride of the clan?: Yes

I would like to join this clan but I need someone to let me be their son and I'm not really sure how to make a good backstory for a dwarf so if anyone is willing to help me please let me know.

Alright, thanks!

The last time that I was on Minecraft was around a month ago but my computer gat a virus so I haven't been able to get on since, now I am a Wandering Soul and I would like to know if I need to reapply or can just be whitelisted without applying.

Thank yall' for helping me with the ip but it turns out that the reason I wasn't able to get on the server was because even though my application was accepted it wasn't implemented but I think that it is now so I should be able to get on :) Thank you for telling me about that, I guess that I will just do that but thank you to anybody that volunteered to be my guide, I appreciate it, but I don't need a guide anymore. Cman64, as for being your cousin I am still fine with that :)

Hi, my application was just accepted earlier today and I haven't been on the server yet so I will need some help getting to Lenfarthing. Here is my backstory if you want to read it. (Polo is my character) Polo livedin Lenfarthing with his father, mother and 2 older brothers. He worked on his family’s farm with his father and brothers until he was 14 when Milo, the younger of his 2 brothers, was caught trying to steal an enchanted gold necklace. Milo felt so bad that he left Lenfarthing and moved to Abresi. The rest of his family decided to move not long after. The journey to Abresi was very hard for the family due to all the bandits along the way and even harder for them once the got there because, on top of loosing most of their possetions, they found out that Milo never made it to Abresi. Soon after arriving in Abresi they got over the grief of loosing Milo and moved into a small home then found work on a farm on the outskirts of the city. After a few months of living in Abresi they finally had a decent life, they weren’t poor but they weren’t rich either, they didn’t have many friends but there wasn’t anybody that disliked them either. They lived that way for a few years until Robin, Polo’s oldest brother, moved away to get an education in something other than agriculture but never told his family what exactly he was going to study. Over the next few years Polo had been writing with Robin and found out that he enrolled in the Mages Collage, became an apprentice but failed the Somonium and was coming home. Soon after Polo discovered that Robin failed the Somonium and was coming back to Abresi he decided that he wanted to leave Abresi and go back to Lenfarthing. Polo has just decided to move back to Lenfarthing but won't be able to make it all the way by himself so he has been writing one of his old friends/distant cousins that still live in Lenfarthing and has arranged to meet him/her at the Cloud Temple. In other words, I need someone willing to be Polo's old friend/distant cousin to guide me to Lenfarthing. If you wouldn't mind playing the part please pm me or post it on this thread. Thanks in advance :) Also, if anyone knows the servers ip please tell me because I haven't been able to get on using mc.lotc.co login.lordofthecraft.net login1.lordofthecraft.net mc.lordofthecraft.net mc1.lordofthecraft.net etc.

What are they like (personality)?: - Polo is very shy and is slow to trust anyone but other Halflings.

Out-Of-Character Information What’s your Minecraft Account Name?: -swampratluc How old are you?: -15yrs What time-zone do you live in?: -est Have you ever roleplayed before - if you have, how?: -Yes, I have played DnD for a few years and have played on a few other RP Servers Have you been on any other roleplaying servers?: -I have played on a few other RP Servers but the only one that I can remember the name of is Crimson Ingot Have you applied to this server before?(Please link past applications): -No I have not How did you hear about us?: -I googled minecraft rp servers and this was one of the links that showed up What do you think the server will be like? -A large server with a good community, and a lot of RPing Have you read and agreed to the rules?: -Yes What’s your favorite rule / the rule you agree with the most?: -"You can't build farms underground! It doesn't make any sense for farms to be underground, so make sure you don't make them - even if you do include glowstone or torches." Definitions What is roleplaying?: -Roleplaying is creating a character that is different than yourself and thinking and acting the way he/she would in the given circumstances What’s metagaming?: -Metagaming is using OOC information IC. For example, if someone read my application and found out that my character is afraid of deep water then we got into a fight and he was loosing so he runs away, his character doesn't know that I'm afraid of deep water, and crosses a deep river to get away from me because OOC he knows that my character can't cross deep water. What’s powergaming?: -Powergaming is acting without giving other players a chance to react. For example *Luc jumps out of the woods and kills Bob* is powergaming, it should be *Luc jumps out of the woods and attempts to kill Bob* which gives Bob time to react. In-Character Information What’s your character called?: -His name is Luc but he doesn't use his last name because he assumes that his father has disowned him. What race are they (and sub-race)?: -Luc is part Halfling but is more human, he has some Halfling traits that most humans don't have but at first glance anyone would assume that he was human so he assumes that a few generations ago a human and Halfling bred and that it has just been humans since then and that is where his Halfling traits come from. What sex are they?: -Male How old are they?: -19yrs old Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): - When I was a child I lived in a shack on a small island in a swamp with my father and mother, the only way to get to and from it was by canoe. My mother always treated me very kindly and I loved her very much, my father also treated me kindly but only when my mother was around. Whenever my mother would leave for a walk my father would beat me and threaten to hurt my mother if I told her about the beatings. When I turned thirteen my father started taking me out for "hunting and fishing trips" where he would take me out to the middle of a pond or a lake and throw me in just to watch me flail around in an attempt not to drown then pull me out at the very last second just to throw me back in again as soon as I caught my breath then say he was teaching me how to swim. After my little "swimming lessons" he would make me set up a tent for him then he would beat me if it didn't meet his standards, which it never did. At night he would make me sleep outside only giving me an old worn out blanket and sometimes an old tarp on the rainy nights. He always fed me well so that I wouldn't look malnourished when we came home. After a few trips with my father I had finally taught myself how to swim and was actually pretty good so I tried to swim to land and get away from my father but he had canoed over to me pulled me into the canoe and hit me upside the head with a canoe paddle knocking me out. When I woke up I was at home lying on the kitchen table and my mother walked over and started talking to me. Apparently my father had told her that I fell out of the canoe and hit my head on a cypress knee then she told me that he wasn't home so I could tell her what really happened. I suddenly felt like I was shocked when she said that but I quickly recovered and said that what my father said was true then asked for some pain medicine so my mother went outside and a few minutes later came back in with some leaves and roots then made me chew on them. After chewing a couple of the roots I felt light headed and the last thing I remember after that is my mother walking over to me. When I finally woke up I saw my father holding a large stick and my mother lying chest down on the floor, her bare back bleeding where she was hit repeatedly by my father. At first I was confused, wondering if I was imagining it, then I realized what happened, while I was lightheaded I must have told my mother about the beatings. I then felt my adrenaline pumping and got up off the table picked up one of the knifes my father used to field dress the animals we killed while hunting, then I started running at my father whose back was turned to me but when I got close his arm whipped around with the stick and it hit me on my cheek then without thinking I ran out the door. I then ran over to the canoe, jumped in, cut the rope that my father had tied to a tree, and started paddling away. I must have caught my father by surprise because I was already ten feet off shore before he even got out the door and because we only had one canoe he stopped chasing me at the shore and started cursing at me. I had been canoeing for a few days and was very hungry before I had found any sign of other human life but I eventually did find a town. Though I was very excited about finding the town it was very awkward for me because the only time I had never seen another human other than my mother and father was when someone got lost in the swamp and found my shack. When I finally mustered up enough courage to go into the town I was amazed at the sight of other people! I soon got over the amazement when I smelled freshly baked bread from a bakery, a smell I had never smelled but a couple of times when my mother baked it on special holidays, so I went in and asked for a loaf but was confused by their monetary system so I decided that I would just wait until no one was looking and just take a couple loafs which I did. After a few days in the town I was finally getting used to being around other people and money and everything when I saw my father walking into the bakery, he must have had another canoe hidden somewhere on the island, so I ran to my canoe which was hidden on the shore a little ways out of town and left as quickly as I could and haven't seen him since. Once I left it only took a day to Find another town where I stayed for around a week before I was caught stealing some clothes from the tailor shop and was forced to leave the town. For the next few months I kept up the same routine, find a town, stay for a week or so, live off of what I stole, get caught, then move on until one time I was caught and couldn't get away. I was caught stealing some carrots and potatoes from a farm so in order to repay the owner of the farm I had to work on his farm for a week. During that week I discovered that I actually enjoyed farming quite a bit so after I had repaid my debt I left the town. From then on I no longer stole from people except as a last resort, which sadly happened very often, instead I tried to find work on farms and occasionally as an apprentice for mages, carpenters, and smiths learning the basics in everything from magic to mining and am actually skilled in both farming and thievery. Even now I am still traveling trying to find work on farms and resulting to thievery when I can't find work. But lately I haven't been able to do much work because I was unlucky enough to have encountered a nethermane while working on a farm then tried to shoe it away before it could get any of the cows but it attacked me leaving me unconscious when it must have seen a large cow and went to kill it because I actually woke up and when I did I was still lying at the edge of the field. I must have been lying there for at least an hour before one of the other workers found me then got help. Now I am just living off the little bit of money that I had saved up before the accident and hoping that it won't be much longer until I'm healthy and strong enough to work and travel again. ((I'm sorry about the length, I got carried away)) What are they like (personality)?: -Luc is very shy (because of the years alone in the swamp), he doesn't show very much emotion but when he does you won't miss it, he refuses to beg and hates people that do because he considers it even less honorable than stealing because it requires absolutely no skill, he is willing to do anything to survive but tries very hard to not hurt others in any way if he doesn't have to but wont hesitate if thinks he thinks his life depends on it, like I said he tries not to hurt anybody if he doesn't have to so if he is attacked he is more likely to run than fight back plus he isn't very skilled in melee What are their ambitions?: -to stay alive Do they have any special skills?: -he is a skilled farmer and thief What are their weaknesses?: -Luc is afraid of water more than 6ft deep Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: -Luc is 3ft 10in tall, has light skin, 1 blue and 1 green eye, his face is always shaven but you couldn't ever tell because he always wears a hood that covers his face, he is naturally very thin (but the lack of food that he has right now isn't really helping anything) and agile, and is relatively weak at the moment because he hasn't been able to do much physical activities lately Anything else you want to say about them?: -Nope Please give us a screenshot of your character’s skin: -I'm sorry but minecraft crashes every time I try to take a screenshot so I don't have any pictures of it
