MC Name: Hellspoodles RP Name: Sylvia Oak Times of Activity/When Are You Normally On: 1-10Pm PDT Do You Have A Home Yet?: Yes What Experience Do You Have In This Position?: I sell birds out of my house. All in RP, I have a whole list of them and all kinds of traits and what kind of person they would match etc... I've sold a few ranging from owls to pigeons. Mainly messenger birds but some (like wounded hawks and things) aren't able to send messages.

A word on bows This is a guide on bows. Despite many people arguing about how powerful a bow is, how much damage it does and other annoying tidbits on what a bow does, not many people take the time to figure out how a bow actually works. It’s often believed that you train a bit by shooting a bow a few times or just slap “trained with a bow since they were little” into the backstory and suddenly your char can shoot any bow they pick up from the local dungeon ruin or whatever. Basically what this guide is about those little things which don’t effect role-play all too much but are seriously annoying when someone gets it wrong. If you want a guide on how to actually do archery in RP, Check this out then. Cool fella called Oblivionsbane made it. TL;DR I know I tend to rant on about things and this guide will end up getting very long. So here are some basic points I want to get across to all the unfortunate souls who stumble upon this product of a sleepless mind: - The majority of time taken between shots for a bow lies in nocking an arrow rather than pulling the bow back, firing, and aiming. - Wood is an organic material. Every single bow is different even if mass produced, same goes for arrows. An elf training a thousand years with a bow will still not be able to perfectly shoot some random bow and arrow they just pulled up off the ground. Unless magic, because magic. - An addition to the point above. Since wood is organic, it rots and stuff. Got to keep the bow in upkeep or else it is going to not work as well. Same of course, goes with arrows. - Bows can’t be fired without an arrow. Even the height of modern tech hasn’t been able to really get around this problem. Basically internal stresses cause the bow to go bang. - A warbow has a draw weight of around a hundred pounds or more. So you can’t really aim anything that does reasonable damage for any length of time. - Bow's for the most part, weren't strung all the time. Keeping a bow under tension would permanently bend the bow over time but most importantly it would cause the string to stretch. (Thanks to AGiantPie for reminding me of this) Section 1 - Different types of bow Section 2 : Actually making a bow Section 3 : Arrows Section 4 : Shooting a bow Section 5 : Bow maintainace Summary: God that took ages to write and I missed so many things. Actually, I probably missed a bunch of things and had terrible grammar while doing it. I just hope you can get some info about archery from this and lead to some more detailed and accurate RP. Please message me if you think something above is wrong or something should be added! ------------ Rev #5

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?: hellspoodles How old are you?: 19 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?:"OOCly lying or otherwise deceiving.....OOCly about your plans." Are there any rule(s) that confuse you or don’t make sense? (if so we can help clear it up!):None How did you find out about Lord of the Craft?: I don't remember Link(s) to past Whitelist Applications (If applicable):n/a Definitions Feel free to Google the answers or browse our forums, but make sure that you write the reply in your own words, not those of another website or person! Plagiarizing will result in the automatic denial of your application! What is roleplaying?:Pretending to be another person though some means, in this case minecraft. Do everything they would do according to what you made or know them to be. Live acting. What is metagaming?:Roleplaying with access to information which your character would not have access to and acting upon that information. Skyping your friends when you be gettin' raided and sutch. What is powergaming?:Forcing another player into a specific action. Like if you were to emote *x cuts off y's head while looking sexy*. That is powergaming since y has no say on the matter of x cutting off their head. Another example would be *x buys y's sword of badassitude for 5 gold because x is sexy*. Y has no say in how much the sword costs. 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. Character’s name:Sylvia Oak Character’s sex:Female Character’s race:Human-Heartlander Character’s age:19 Biography (Please make it a decent two paragraphs long. Remember to add three references to the server lore.): (where does your character come from?; where have they traveled to?; what year were they born in? et cetera.) Sylvia's mother was a ***** in a Felsen. She serviced a minor noble. After Sylvia was born the noble tried to have Sylvia killed to avoid shame on his house. Her mother used her contacts to run away to a Lorraine where she lived as a farmhand while rasing Sylvia. Sylvia and her mother were looked down upon by the local population, both due to her mother's questionable past and their being heartlanders. Dispite many hardships Syilva grew up reasonably. After Sylvia reached close to 6 years of age she began to play in the woods with the other children. She learned how to snare rabbits and cook them over a fire, by the time she was 8 she started to learn how to use a bow and by 10 was bringing in larger game like boar(not much non-legendary wildlife to choose from). This worked well for a while, but at the age of 19 Sylvia's mother took ill. Their poor financial situation was noticed by the healers in the area who declined them service. She died at the end of winter. Angered by her mother's death, Silvia taveled to felsen to find this noble with only a crest to find the reason for her mother's suffering. After questioning around for a bit it turns out that this noble died in 1541 during the seige of the Grandaxe Keep. Satisfied with how his life turned out, Sylvia now has to decide on what to do with hers.
