Out-Of-Character Information Please do your best to correct spelling and grammatical errors, this is an RP server and writing is the main form of communication! What’s your Minecraft Account Name?: KRGOOD How old are you?: 25 Are you aware the server is PG-13 (You won’t be denied for being under 13): affirmative pg13 Have you read and agreed to the rules?: Yes and I accept the terms and conditions What’s the rule you agree with the most?: Of course, I like the all of the rules; however, my favorite is the builds that defy physics Are there any rule(s) that confuse you or don’t make sense?(If so we can help clear it up! You will not be denied for having a question on the rules):The confusion I have regarding strip mining, in the real world it is clearing layers off of the surface until you reach your treasures, however I've been accused of "strip mining" on other servers by various staff members, which resulted in my punishment. I learned that there are various definitions of strip mining, I would be more than happy to demonstrate my mining method to an admin or mod before I go into long lengths of mining only to learn I was doing something not permitted. ***addendum 9/26/15*** the type of mining i use i dig a long straight primary tunnel 2 high by 3 wide, and branch tunnels 2 high by 1 wide off of the main tunnel every 4 block lengths so that there is a 3 block column between branched tunnels. i then proceed to the layer above repeating the pattern with the new branches centered over the 3 block column below it. this maximizes mining efficiency and keeps the tunnels supporting each other like a honeycomb.*** How did you find out about Lord of the Craft? Hathrid one of your new members is my brother ooc. Definitions What is roleplaying?: Essentially it's acting, Placing yourself into the mind of another character via an avatar or costume, and breathing life into the character's emotions, goals, fears, and flaws. What is metagaming?: Using player knowledge in place of character knowledge. Whether it is for personal gain or not. What is powergaming?: making an overpowered character through roleplay, like "I command my army to attack the village and burn it down" I***addendum 9/26/15*** I would like to add that i have years of experience as a DM/GM for tabletop RPGs as well as an extensive background as varying levels of Staff on various Servers for minecraft. As such i understand and appreciate the hard work that goes into creating a server and telling a story as well as world building so that others may continue to have fun in the environment. I have no desire to Damage or undermine your server. I do believe however the greatest stories and characters arrive from a source of conflict with personal flaws. as reflected in my character below. Please consider this whilst reading and note I have created a source of deep conflict that creates a huge flaw for my character to overcome in the future. i do not personally dislike elves or any other roleplay race. Personal goals for myself on the server are to have fun and learn other's methods of roleplay and increase my personal exposure to role play culture. Thank you for your consideration*** In-Character Information Character’s name: Dhoran McKay Character’s sex: Male Character’s race: Dwarf (Mountain) Character’s age: 55 Biography Recently I was forced from my home in the mountains south of Urguan, I was raised in isolation, keeping to ourselves not venturing too long into cities or out of our mountain home for anything other than the occasional tools or supplies. Many things I've known to be true my entire life have been changed since then mostly regarding my father's "facts of life" he called them...My father kept us away from the dangers of the elves, He told us how they cause Famines, Diseases, and war. That they have been riddled with illness for so long their boys and girls are beardless man-children, It's caused a madness within their heads. Did you know they have entire cities run by frail Scruff-less Children? Sickening! In fact I was driven from my cave by such a sickly man-child. One day while hunting in the forest east of home My, brother, and I came across a pointy ear crumpled up in the woods something was wrong with it, it wasn't like the usual elves we had seen it was barely conscious, muttering in tongues. My father took pity on the poor creature and stepped forward to end the beast's life with an axe to it's face. Before my father's blade could fell the elf, it was crazed as if by some kind of illness and lunged outward and clamped it's Jowels around my father's leg. my brother crushed it's skull with his foot. my father had my brother and I rush him back to the cave so mother could cure him of the "elf cancer" he called it. my brother and I got him back to the cave as quick as we could. I fear it was too late, I watched as the "elf cancer" slowly took my father's mind, and later my brother having also touched the elf. one night while asleep my father and brother escaped their healing chains and collars. They began attacking the rest of my family I barely made it out alive with my little sister. I had to seal the rest of them inside the cave. My little sister and I started wandering the mountains careful not to stray too far east, "Where the elves trickery corrupted the green skins into fighting in "the Great War"," my father said another "fact " I've learned isn't true. It wasn't long before i realized my 6 month old sister had contracted my father's elf cancer. When she began Babbling in tounges and trying to Crawl back to her Elf masters. I had no other choice but to end her suffering before she too was taken into insanity by my family's bane. Thus I venture alone. It wasn't long before I ran into a fellow Bearded Brethren, Who called himself Hathrid. He told me of how he too had been inflicted with the elven illness, He called "the spell Plague" he told me it was a new Development. I had to disagree I told hathrid, "the elves have been responsible for all the wars, illness and famine in the world since it's creation. my father being the wisest Dwarf I know of told me so himself. His beard was long and filled with white. Clearly he knew what he was talking about." Hathrid told me the world is not such a place and I should head to the Capitol of Kal'Akash. and learn of this plague. it matters not he seeks the pointy ears to return his newly found illness to them having been bitten himself. He pointed me towards the safe haven shelter from the plague located in the Vast dwarven city of Kal'Akash. I venture forward to find this great city. It would seem I have much to learn about what my father had taught me. Personality Traits: superstitious, Sheltered, Naiive, Gregarious, Stubborn.
