4. What is your opinion on the chat format options (bold and italics)? This needs to be available for non-donors... Seriously. That, or at least make it so I can see the /'s in "my /speech."

ACCEPTED. Welcome, frands.

If you're giving out your skype privately, feel free to send it to me too. :)

Fourth? Also, dis is gr8 m8.

Hey.... Noice.

You receive a bird, reading: "A meeting shall be arranged shortly." ((Pm DuckMD or Sorceress_Haven))

I often get this same issue. Whenever I log on for the first time, I'll usually get DC'd a couple times before I can be on the server without issue. I noticed this happens more often in areas with more entities, so my guess is that my laptop just sucks, which it does.

A well-written note is pinned against various billboards across Oren... "We are looking to purchase certain amounts of Thanhium from those looking to sell. Prices shall be discussed up front, and potential sellers MUST bring the product at hand. Search around Riga, Felsen, or Redwood and ask around for the name 'Lucas Hawthorne'. Addendum: Please refrain from questioning us during business, unless it regards pricing." (OOC: Price is negotiable within reason, looking to buy small amounts at a time. If any questions, PM DuckMD or Sorceress_Haven. To clarify, I am looking for Crude Thanhium, not lapis.)

+Added a half-assed backstory. Enjoy.

James stands over Mark's grave. "We'll get 'em."

Please, 4chan isn't that sloppy.

James sighs as he packs the rest of his things. "...Wherever the road may take us."

"Perhaps..." says James, after reading the paper over.

I think Roam seems fairly interesting. I might be able to play him..:)

(78 kg.) Body Type: About Average? Has muscle, but not large physique. Hair Color: Dark Brown/Black Eye Color: Hazel Skin Tone: Light Marks/Tattoos: A scar above his right hip and a scar on the left of his forehead, just under the hairline.

Alliance: Eagle's Vigil (Courland/Oren), Himself/Others Profession: Amateur Surgeon/Writer; Soldier Aspirations: Scientist/Researcher Bio Although he did not need to, James spent his life on the streets of Felsen with his older step-brother, Lucas. Life was often hard, but only because they made it hard. At home, the boys had a loving mother and a mysterious, mostly absent father. With his brother, James learned to make his own bread, and to take it too. The brothers had spent life learning things on their own, getting into fights, and harassing those they could. Eventually they had joined a street gang, with James being the youngest at only age 7. With them, James and Lucas grew to be more violent with their crimes, even performing murders at some point. The brothers had both gained some proficiency in small weapons and hand-to-hand combat, although they had often been attacked and beaten by other people on the streets. One night, James had been out with the gang, where he was pushed and encouraged to mug what seemed to be a crippled man. Things came to worse, which ended up with James stabbing and killing what turned out to be an old woman. He had begun to feel deep remorse for his crimes, even trying to leave the gang which got him stabbed and nearly beaten to death. At the age of 10, James had been taught to read by his father, eventually growing not only a passion for reading, but knowledge in general. By the time he was 14, he had spent most of his time at home, reading or such, having left the gang at this point. His brother, however, remained at large, growing a distance between the once close brothers. They both had come to different views on their father, with James always being excited to see him come home on dark nights, whilst Lucas had begun to take a distaste for his father, seeing him as a scumbag who cared not for his family. This grew tension between them. One night, James had been locked away in his bedroom, doing God knows what, before a sudden shatter and scream came to his ears. What did he do? He waited. He waited for the screaming to stop, listening deeply to the lamentations of his mother as it was all he could hear. Then it stopped. After a while, James had gone downstairs to find the mutilated corpse of his mother, beaten and murdered. His brother was nowhere to be found, but his father lay against a wall, knife in his gut, unresponsive. Since then, James spent his time alone, wandering. He'd refused to turn back to old ways, working as a tinker in a small shop which sold antiques, trinkets, and the like. At the age of 18, he had left to strike out on his own to find a new life.

I guess a tricorne would be cool, but if I had a hat I'd alternate between wearing it and not wearing it pretty often.

OOC Info What’s your Minecraft Account Name?: DuckMD How old are you?: 14 Are you aware the server is PG-13 (You won’t be denied for being under 13): Yes Have you read and agreed to the rules?: Yes What’s the rule you agree with the most?: I find myself to agree with the combat rules most. In my previous experiences, RP combat was not well stated. Are there any rule(s) that confuse you or don’t make sense?: N/A How did you find out about Lord of the Craft?: Googling RP servers. :P Definitions What is roleplaying?: Roleplaying is absolute fun :). (Stepping into a role or playing as a character in order to develop story with others.) What is metagaming?: Metagaming is using information you know OOCly to give yourself an advantage in RP. What is powergaming?: Powergaming is RPing unfairly, or to act without consideration toward the other player(s), leaving them no chance to fight back or even react. ||ex. "*(Person1) shoves (Person2) to the floor, killing them instantly with the slash of their sword*". (Person2) was given no chance to fight back and was 'killed' before they could react. PGers tend to disregard storytelling and put their main focus on achieving a personal goal. In-Character Information Character’s name: James Hawthorne-Kyd (Formerly James Greyhelm) Character’s sex: Male Character’s race: Human (Heartlander) Character’s age: 19 Biography: James grew up with sort of a complex life. His family resided within the outskirts of Felsen, the capitol of the Holy Oren Kingdom. Although his family was not particularly poor, James spent most of his childhood as a ruffian on the streets alongside his older stepbrother. Many fights were had, and James' older brother, Lucas, had always acted as sort of a guardian toward James. They earned their bread, as well as had their fair share of taking it, too. James' father has always dealt with shady figures, so James did not see him often. James' father had managed to raise quite a high debt with said shady figures in order to support the family, but it was a debt he could not pay off. At this time, James had already entered his early teens, where he had gained a fascination for books and knowledge in general, having learned to read from his father. One quiet night, James was out on the streets when his home was attacked. As James came home, through the front door, the screams of his mother caught his ear. Witnessing the events taking place, all he could do was run. So he ran. His mother and older brother were taken into slavery, but his father's body had just disappeared without a trace. He can only be presumed to be dead. James now spends his days trave ling, meeting people, and gathering knowledge and money as he goes.
