Man, I would consider us- Somewhat friends, and I hope you don't take this personal, however I think you should strike druid lore off of your application, mostly because of how you seemed somewhat... Desperate(?) to the public about trying to regain the tiers you lost, through dragging a dead (PK'd) character back to life, which in the end only caused a lot of people to throw that back in your face. You'd do well for the rest of what you put, don't get me wrong, you do have a good magic history as a paladin for example, but perhaps not druidism.

I've explained this situation multiple times, and I would honestly prefer you bring this issue up to me in private. Not only have I given a good bit of a gap time between the issue and re-applying for MAT with Druidism, I also still consider that view completely unfair and unjustified based on the facts of the situation. And if you'd like, I can explain why in PMs. Thanks for the feedback, though.

What is your Minecraft Account Name?: My Username is Conspirator_.

How long have you played on LotC?: I've been around about four years now.

How many hours per day/week are you available?: I'm available most days after school and sometimes a bit before (5-6 AM EST). I am rarely available on Wednesdays and of course my schedule alters with after-school activities and the like. I'm almost always available on Discord or Skype, and can be on the forums almost any time.

Have you read and do you thoroughly understand Magic Lore?: I have at least read over most if not all of the magic lores and know to contact someone more knowledgeable than myself if a need ever arises.

What Magic lore do you hold the most experience with?: I am most versed in Druid Lore, however I hold a good understanding of all elemental evocations, soul puppetry, and the Mists of Xan. As far as creatures, I am very knowledgeable with Sprites, Ghouls, and Constructs.

Write about a Magic-related topic that you find interesting: In Druid Lore, there is an addition to Druidic healing that allows a Druid to craft for themselves a limb of living wood that functions of their hand does. I find it interesting how wood can be sustained by a Druid in conjunction to the rest of their form and the connection between a Druid and nature to be so great that one could listen to the song of the living wood to imagine feeling and touch in the arm.

Give a summary of any Staff/Lead positions you've held on any Minecraft server in the past: On this server, I have been an Application Team members as well as a Magic Team member. On other servers, I've held a few moderation positions but all of those servers have died off.

Do you have a Skype account?: I do and it is legocrazy7_veren. My Discord is Conspirator_#3881

Have you ever received a magical blacklist, if so, please link it: I have not.

Hey, hey guys.

YES!! Good job!! The ET is taking initiative for once. 

WTF are you guys doing?! These ideas have ALL been done before. Why are these even options? For once in you guy's lives, can we do something creative? Thanks, sorry for salt but salt is sometimes needed.

I know most of you weren't around then, but the smoothest map change we've ever had in my memory was Anthos-Fringe. A portal opened on Anthos that went along with server lore and events that were going on during this time. The portal led to Fringe, and both Fringe and Anthos were accessible for a time. Solution C, from my experience, is 100% the best option if modeled after Anthos-Fringe transition (minus Fringe being free build)

The High Templar Salem Wyvernbane would stand silent beside the Highlord as he reads the poster. A smirk equal to that of his father's would light his face, chuckling, "Seems your message to them had a bit of an effect, eh? Glad to see the Holy League is once again on the same page. I'll alert the Brotherhood of the change." He would step out of the room, going to his own office to draft a notice.

-reserved for when requests are again opened-

Over all, I honestly think this is a terrible, terrible idea. The main problem I have with all of this is the relying on all these combined tier numbers. It over complicates simple interactions that occur between dark and holy users daily; it takes away from RP rather than increases it (there are enough OOC arguments over fights as is without tossing this mess of OOC rules into the fray); tiers are currently not tracked by the MT, and seeing as how they don't "officially" exist or have specific times to reach said tiers anymore, this idea is completely impractical. 

Id also finally like to add the note that magic does not have to be perfectly balanced all the time. I would also argue that holy magic does not give a massive advantage to the user: I have seen fights go both ways on a consistent basis, this coming from a holy user. Our magic, in my experience, does not have huge advantages over dark users. Is it effective? Yes. But dark users win over us consistently. Don't try to fix something that isn't broken: holy magic and dark magic are not broken.

What magic(s) will you be teaching?:

Xan Deity

Summarise the Lore of this magic(s):

       The Mists are a boon given to Descendants who have proven themselves to their Patron, Xan, the Aengul of Order and Guardianship. He, as the teaching goes, calls the Paladins to battle Chaos and the forces that threaten the Descendants. Most commonly, these Holy Warriors are known for their prowess against the Dragon-kin.

       The Paladin’s Mists come in three distinct colors: silver, gold, and emerald. These Mists have many properties similar to other Holy Magics, that of being effective against taint, with one major difference. The Mists of Xan are especially strong against those of Dragon-kin. The Paladins themselves, however, are divided into two sects: Vindicators and Wrymstalkers.

       Vindicators are the most well known of the sects, often being titled as the melee Paladins. These Holy Warriors have several major abilities that their counterparts do not. Vindicators can summon the Mists to ‘enchant’ a weapon with Xan’s power, making it effective against taint and Dragon-kin. They may also summon the Mists into a spherical shield to protect them, as well as armor to cover them. The shield, unlike the armor, has a ‘blast’, or knockback effect, when  broken.

       Wrymstalkers, otherwise known as the ranged Paladins, have many distinctive abilities as well. They have the ability to summon the Mists into the form of an arrow, which is effective against taint and Dragon-kin. They may also summon a special weapon known as the light-spear. This ability is one of the most powerful granted to Paladins, and acts as, in basis, a stronger light-arrow.

       Paladins have one more ability, one which my character is not familiar with. It is known as Holy Alteration, the process of imbuing the Mists into an object to complete a certain purpose.

Write up a lesson that your character would give to a student:

Vindicator

       Salem, clad in full plate, would guide his student to the peace of his room, motioning for him to sit upon the floor. The male would follow suite, giving an encouraging smile to his Apprentice. “Alright. Today I’ll be teaching you how to enchant a blade with Xan’s mist.” he would pause, removing his gauntlets. The student would do the same. “Now, close your eyes. You feel the warmth of Xan around you, but look inside for the source. Concentrate on that inner flame.” The student’s eyes close, his hands resting open on his knees. After several minutes of concentration, small particles of golden mist would begin to emerge from within the student’s palms. Beads of sweat form on his forehead, his hands quivering ever so slightly. Salem nods “Good… keep that up!” he would draw a small dagger from his belt, placing it within one of the Apprentice’s hands. “Now.. I want you to focus that energy, the Mist, into the dagger. Visualize it lighting up with Xan’s power.” The student gives no sign that he had heard Salem other than the movement of the Mists. The particles would hover around the dagger, condensing on the surface of the blade. After a moment, the Mist would crackle to life, silver-electricity alighting across the blade. The student holds it for just a second before the Mist collapses in on itself, vanishing from sight. The Apprentice would begin to fall backwards from exhaustion before Salem would catch him “Great job. Rest and we’ll do it again..”

Wrymstalker

       Salem would guide his apprentice out of the Keep to an archery range. The ‘ame hands her a bow, “Today I’m going to teach you how to manifest our Patron’s gift and summon a projectile. Close your eyes and focus. Feel the heat of Xan around you, and look inward to the source.. Your Inner Flame.” The student’s eyes close, her focus turning inward. “Now, direct that warmth out, down your arm, and into your bow.” Salem states, watching her carefully. The Particles of emerald Mist form around his palms gripping the bow, condensing upon the wooden surface like dew. “Excellent,” Salem murmurs, “Now, I want you to image an arrow.. Imagine an emerald, shining arrow.. Made of the same warmth you feel inside.. Do you see it?” The student gives a slight nod “Now, pull your bow back and open your eyes.. Keep the image of the arrow in your mind.” The student does as Salem directs, lifting the bow and pulling the string back. Between the shaft and string of the bow would appear the arrow that the student imagined. “Now.. fire..” Salem finishes, arms crossed. The student releases the arrow, the form dissipating only feet from her bow. The student stumbles, Salem stepping forward to support her. “Great job. Keep practicing and you’ll be a Master in no time.”

HedgeHug is most definitely very knowledge on magic. However, after a recent RP with him I'm not a fan of his attitude. For that, -1.

he's the actual worst. he has no place in the team, heck no place in the world.

Several questions for my fav Elder Druid:

1. Was Veren your fav archdruid who was also a squirrel?
2. If you had a second chance, would you be a Druid or a Necro?
3. do you still sing like a ******* angel?

This is the last moment I ever played a sport captured on film...

This is really cool.. I'd like to see it expanded upon, of course. Make things slightly more clear and the like. Other than that, nice idea!

Yes, officer. Nothing is wrong here. No sir. I have not been drinking tonight.. no sir, Asi is not Bill Cosby.. No, I did not take any pills.. -sweats-

First time I've shown myself on the forums in my four years on the server..

Very simple: Del is the most professional person I have ever met on LotC. She has an exceptional knowledge of the lore, and great writing ability. There is no one I could think of that would do better in this position.

((Just a note: if this happened in the past week at all, then the Wyvern is nothing but a rotting corpse without scales and a tail. It has been slain.))

Interacted with him very little, but he seems like a good lad.
