How did you hear about us?: - Whilst looking for alternative RP server for Minecraft in Google, as my old one's population had dropped significantly for a few months.What do you think the server will be like? - Well organized, a bit more "hardcore" RP.Have you read and agreed to the rules?: - Yes and yes.What’s your favourite rule / the rule you agree with the most?: - It's a toss-up between the no-metagaming rule, and the no-powergaming rule, but I think the ban against metagaming is my favourite of the two.
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?: - Roleplaying is, as the name would suggest, playing the "role" of another person entirely, acting like they would.
What’s metagaming?: - The use of out-of-character knowledge in an in-character situation.
What’s powergaming?: - Powergaming is the act of performing actions that are detrimental to the opposing player, and against which the opposing player has no way to defend against.An example:*Tim McSalmonbane turns around to face the guard.**The guard tells Tim to stand down, pointing his sword at him.**Tim leaps at the guard, pushes his blade aside, and kills him.*
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?: - Onri Mossbeard
What race are they (and sub-race)?: - Dwarf, of the foresty kind.
What sex are they?: - Male.
How old are they?: - 35 years, or five dwarven seasons.
Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): - Onri's childhood was spent in a small home near the forests of Kal'Ithrun. His mother died whilst giving birth to him, thus leaving his father - Jungra Mossbeard - to care for him by himself. The two grew close, although the pain of losing his wife always shadowed his father's joy.When thirteen years had passed from Onri's birth, the rebellion of the Thunderfist clan against the rule of Thorin Grandaxe began, and his father left to join it, and Onri was left in the care of his uncle. As with most members of that ill-fated uprising, his father died - leaving Onri in the care of a kind but somewhat distant uncle.Years passed. Onri soon grew akward amongst other Dwarves (the mockery of the occasional Mountain - or even Cave-Dwarves passing by did not help with this) and became somewhat reclusive, learning to love the quiet and peace of the forest. His many wanderings in the woods also taught him much about the different plants, and their uses. Eventually he learned of what had become of his father - but he did not harbour revenge, due to a lack of any kind of power, and the knowledge that his father had not been the "hero" here. Still, he does not think of his father as a traitor - moreso a Dwarf that believed very strongly in something, and died for it.After twenty-two years had passed from his father's departure, a messenger came by, bearing a note from Orist, head of the Mossbeard clan. It was an invitation to join the rest of his kin in Kal'Ithrun proper. Onri was suprised. Up until now, the name of "Mossbeard" had never meant anything for him. But this letter spoke of a Clan. A home. A purpose to his life that was more than just pleasant but ultimately meaningless wandering in a forest. He vowed on his mother's grave that he would devote his life to this new purpose, his Clan.Bidding his Uncle farewell (who had decided to watch over his old homestead in his absence) he left his home, and welcomed the new life ahead of him.
What are they like (personality)?: - He is very socially akward amongst people he doesn't know - especially so with other Dwarves (excluding Forest-Dwarves). He feels like his life has lacked purpose up until now, and so his devotion to his clan is fierce. He tries to be as polite as he can, but his lack of social-skills means he fails at this endeavour quite often. He comes off as dour to most, but can be quite jolly when among friends like his fellow Mossbeards.
What are their ambitions?: - To bring prosperity and wealth to his Clan. And, Brathmordakin willing, better the position of Forest-Dwarves in Dwarven society as a whole.
Do they have any special skills?: - Some (limited) knowledge of herbalism, and his travels in the forest taught him how to move quietly. Also, the building of shelters in said forests - which are a bit more than just a stick holding up cloth.
What are their weaknesses?: - His martial abillity is next to none. (excluding his bowmanship, but even that is decent at best) He tends to be very unwilling to make major decisions - change is something he has never liked, and sometimes, this unwillingness costs him much more than just making a decision would have.
Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: - He is tall, by Forest-Dwarf standards, (not that that's saying alot) and resembles a Mountain-Dwarf in height and stockiness. However, his beard is well-kept and short, as is the norm amongst Forest-Dwarves; his skin also bears a tan as, again, is common with his people; his very long and thick hair has been tied into a single braid, reaching well past his neck and halfway to his back. The rest of his head is shaved. He wears the same green, somewhat worn tunic that his father left behind when he left. His boots and gloves are brown, and his eyes a dull jade. He is not very muscled, but nor is he fat. (Despite his appetite for treats such as fish, berries and other delicacies nature provides)
Anything else you want to say about them?: - Not really. As I (hopefully not excsessively so) said, he is now focused completely on his clan. This is due to the fact that before this, his life had felt like that of a leaf on the ground of one of the forests he so loves; thrown about by the wind, meaningless and powerless. On a minor note, he is very fascinated with the tales of folk called "Druids" that he hears every now and then - but this is irrelevant next to his Clan. "Maybe one day."(That SHOULD work, please don't excecute me if it doesn't)
