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?: Javius
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?: "Hostile and Toxic behavior, directed any anyone or on any medium, will not be tolerated." - I believe this rule is the core principle to any successful server as it lays the foundations for a positive environment and atmosphere amongst the players.

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?: Roleplaying is a way in which people can step outside of their own person and assume the role of a different character, one with its own individual characteristics, traits and story. It allows people to adventure beyond their own mind and into this realm where they are this character, completely, whether it be in the same world or a different one.
What is metagaming?: Metagaming is a disruptive behaviour and/or act within roleplay. Metagaming goes against the very nature of roleplaying, where information unbeknownst to the character is assumed or is made of use by the player, who is meant to be in role. In terms of metagaming, the information is not something that fits the character's skills, experiences or background but is used by the player regardless.
What is power-emoting (powergaming)?: Power-emoting is another form of disruptive behaviour and an abuse of power. This can be evident where "Player A" interacts with "Player B", however in doing so, "Player A" dictates the response of "Player B" thus taking the power away from "Player B" in choosing their own response. As a result, "Player A" has disrupted the roleplay and disrespected the balance of power between the two players.

Born in 1517, Javius was raised in a small village in the Holy Orenian Empire. Although in search of a bigger purpose, Javius was restricted by his family duties. Heavily relied on by his parents as an only child, he was forced to cook meals for adventurers who paused their fast-paced lives to rest up and catch their breath. This desire to leave his small village was only intensified by the extraordinary tales of that were whispered amongst the patrons of his family's tavern. In an act of twisted fate, Javius found himself forced to face these dreams a lot earlier than expected. One day, when Javius least expected it, his village was raided by elven bandits, slaughtering all but himself, as he fled through the tavern's cellar.
Finding himself alone for the first time in his life at the young age of 18, Javius knew nothing of how to survive, outside the comforts of his old village life. Through fear of crossing paths with other bandits, Javius decided to avoid roads and navigate his own way to Felsen, the nearest settlement to his now deceased village. However, after traveling a short while through the forest, and despite his best efforts to avoid danger, Javius found himself ambushed by the same bandits who had ransacked the home he once knew. The last thing he remembered was the impact of a blunt improvised weapon to the back of the head, as he fell to the floor and his world faded to black.
Javius slowly returned to consciousness, and he quickly realised he was not grounded. Feet and arms swaying in the breeze, both dazed and confused, Javius realised he was sat aloft on thick branches, high up in the dense forest. Catching the gaze of bright green eyes amongst the leaves, Javius panicked at the sight of a mysterious female elf, who he later came to learn was named Glipena. And she had saved his life. The adventure Javius had dreamt of for many years had begun. Javius roamed the lands for the next five years, forging a bond with his trusted companion Glipena. She would be fundamental to his growth, teaching him the skills and knowledge he would need to live off the land and survive. His adventure continues.
Personality Traits: (what are your character's quirks?; habits?; likes and dislikes?) Years of being trapped inside, you will hardly find Javius stood in one place for too long. Inquisitive, he loves to explore in search of adventure, experience and wisdom. Javius is overprotective of the people he cares for, as a result of the guilt he feels for the death of his parents, he pushes himself to do the best he can to support his people. Although warm-hearted and loyal to those who he adores, Javius finds it hard to trust strangers as he is wary of their motives. He strongly dislikes dishonesty and disrespect.
Ambitions: (what does your character aspire to be?) Due to his past, he has a burning ambition to help people, and prevent what happened to his village from happening again.
Strengths/Talents: (what is your character really, really good at?) From his former life, Javius maintains his skill in cooking. He is also good at hunting and collecting resources.
Weaknesses/Inabilities: (what is a skill that your character needs to work on?) Javius needs to learn to trust others and to not blame himself for the death of his parents. Javius still has much to learn.
Appearance: (what does your character look like?; how tall are they?; hair color?; scars?) Javius stands just short of six feet at 5"11, his build is slightly muscular but fairly slim. He has light brown skin, a reflection of his darker skinned mother and his fair skinned father. His eyes are a deep brown and his short hair as black as the night sky, with a full beard to match. He has a slight burn on his arm from his past life as a chef.
Skin: (please provide us a screenshot of your character’s skin; if you need help, see our screenshot guide here.)
