I sign this paper for House Ruric and the Nortruppen.

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?: lgrinnan (with a lower case L) How old are you?: 18, soon to be 19 Are you aware the server is PG-13 (You won’t be denied for being under 13): Yes, which I appreciate that it is listed as so. Have you read and agreed to the rules?: Yes, I have. What’s the rule you agree with the most?: The rules referring to death and not having memory of the events leading up to it. Are there any rule(s) that confuse you or don’t make sense? (if so we can help clear it up!): My only question is how important is the differentiation within a race? (Like Heartlander vs Highlander) How did you find out about Lord of the Craft?: Minecraft-server-list.com Link(s) to past Whitelist Applications (If applicable): I wasn't sure if you wanted applications for other servers that are RPG based as it could be considered advertisement. I have not previously applied to this server (that I remember). 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?: In my opinion, it is where you become the character you portray by fully immersing yourself in as them in what you do, what you say, and what you think (while as that character). What is metagaming?: Using outside knowledge to influence the thoughts or actions of your character. What is power-emoting (powergaming)?: The use of unfeasible means to achieve an otherwise impossible goal. (IE. *Strikes <name> with five blows cutting his arms, legs, and back essentially killing him* as this does not allow for the other person to try to defend themselves. Or, *smells gold in a chest in <name>'s house and goes in to investigate*.) ((Going off what I've seen before on other RP servers.)) 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: (what do you want your character to be called?) Orrin Payne Character’s sex: (male or female?) Male Character’s race: (you can find all the playable races here.) Human, a highlander to be specific. Character’s age: (upon application, your character must be 18 or older, and depending on the race, they can be over five hundred years old!) Aproximately 20 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.) "I don't know if I have the time to talk to strangers. You know these fields aren't going to sow themselves... But since you've asked I might as well tell you... You probably won't leave until I do otherwise and I only have ale for one. I was born in this very cabin not to far from this one, just downstream aways. My father was a farmer, as was his father before him, so as am I; I'm told it's the way of our people, the Raevir, that is. M' mother took care of me and made clothes for us, if we had extra flax or cotton she would make some more clothes to sell to the travelers that passed by. My mom's the one that taught me to speak, read, and write, she being one of the Hanseti folk and all sure helped with her learnings. Sometimes she would read me fables of distant lands with great battles and I always wanted to go, but as I said the fields don't sow themselves. That's how we got our surname you know, Payne, we're too busy for any god so they call us pagans even though we don't believe in anything at all. It's all the same to them though, if we don't mumble in a temple then we're lesser people. The Gods have never done me any good so it doesn't matter to me anyway. Da taught me to count as it is important to know when you farm. He taught me to farm and hunt too...but I don't hunt much anymore...not since the trouble that came from it before... M' father and I went out through the woods day when the leaves were scattering in the wind. When the sun was high we came upon a field full of stags and luckly we got a nice sized one so we headed back home to skin it up there, too cold and dangerous to hang around in the trees. When we got back, we saw some travelers at the farm talking to mom. But then they started yelling, so Da jumped in and started yelling too. But one pulled out a dagger and started threatening my parents, that's when I jumped in too...I.. I don't like to talk about what happened after..but Ma and Pa didn't do any more talking after that... They started to chase after me to get me too, but I ran off into the woods and lost them in it. When I got back I found nothing left but ashes... no Ma...no Pa...just ash and smoke. Do you know what it's like to loose all you have when you're nine winters old?...What do you care, you just want a story... What's that? How'd I get here?..Well with my feet of course..I came up the stream to find this old house and no one lived here so I started to. Been here since then and I've been doing my best to help whoever comes along. Men, elves, dwarves, I even helped an orc once...once, but I still helped him. Now can I get back to my fields? Safe travels." Personality Traits: (what are your character's quirks?; habits?; likes and dislikes?) Since Orrin was raised by farmer's his gramatics aren't the best although he does try. He works very hard and admires others that do as well. He doesn't like strangers too much unless they have something to offer in return but he remains polite because it's what he was taught to do by his parents. Ambitions: (what does your character aspire to be?) Orrin is open minded but it would take a good lot for him to leave his crops, he's already lost everything once in his life. Strengths/Talents: (what is your character really, really good at?) He can hunt if he needs to, he knows how to farm well and knows the basics of construction since he had to repare the house he now lives in. He likes to read or hear stories but he has trouble writing them. Orrin prides himself with his hard work and willingness to help others in need. Weaknesses/Inabilities: (what is a skill that your character needs to work on?) I would say his weakest point in grammatics as well as fighting abilities. Appearance: (what does your character look like?; how tall are they?; hair color?; scars?) He's a simple farmer, so he's well tanned. He has his mother's brown hair and green eyes. He has his fathers height, towering over most others (a little over six feet). He has a few scars here and there from years of labor. Thank you for looking over my application and have a great day!
