Lord Of The Craft Application
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?: Likhitesplit
How old are you?: 17
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?: Probably the general conduct rules like no toxic behavior, many roleplaying servers I’ve been on haven’t managed correct conduct very well, leading to some rather unpleasant experiences.
Are there any rule(s) that confuse you or don’t make sense? (if so we can help clear it up!): no, not at all, your rules seem spot on.
How did you find out about Lord of the Craft?: I found it on a recommended roleplaying server list, and being a fan of the Lord of the Rings series I had to check it out.
Link(s) to past Whitelist Applications (If applicable): link to first application

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?: Basically roleplaying is sort of like acting, you create a character and act out their actions in different situations, so roleplaying a knight in the middle ages would involve being a part of the medieval political system and their actions during any wars or conflict.
What is metagaming?: The way I like to describe metagaming is basically giving your character OOC knowledge IC which shouldn't be possible, and often ruins immersion.
What is power-emoting (powergaming)?: Power emoting in a role play is using an emote to manipulate another character without giving them a chance to react, examples: “Jonathan slashed Carter across the chest, dealing a mortal blow”, “Carly punched Fred in the face, breaking his nose”.

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.) Aaron was born in 1543 to the family of a village leader who led a small obscure settlement named Falconclaw outside of Felsen. At first, growing up in a well to do family left Aaron rather clueless about the ways of the world, until the winter of 1555. It was a good winter, the weather wasn’t too harsh and living near a port town helped with the lack of crops, but in just one second he was stripped of everything he once had. Falconclaw was burned to the ground by a gang of bandits, everyone he knew along with his parents were slaughtered. Left without both a home and one eye thanks to the dark magic user who led the bandit assault, Zane Ragnarok, Aaron now has a redstone fake eye and a burning desire to avenge his family and friends.
On his search to track down every member of the bandit gang to enact his vengeance, Aaron has formed good relations with both the independent people of Sancuary and the Dwarves of Kal’Valen, learning amateur craftsmanship, blacksmithing, and hand to hand combat from the Dwarves. Thanks to the actions of a wood elf who saved his life from the hands of Zane, he has also grown to enjoy the company of the elven races, respecting their somewhat aloof society. After hunting down most of the bandits responsible Aaron was left with few clues leading to his quarry’s location, and so he returned to his travels in the summer of 1565, though his search for revenge still continues.
Personality Traits: (what are your character's quirks?; habits?; likes and dislikes?) Aaron is both kind hearted and ruthless, leaving no stone unturned in his quest, but also is intrigued by the mystery of magical artifacts and is a sucker for anything sweet. Due to his past, he is disgusted by thieves of all kinds, but has been known to never lose his cool in the face of danger. He also has been known to have a tongue much faster than his brain, often helping him out of most dangerous situations, and leading him into many others, which his reckless nature doesn’t help.
Ambitions: (what does your character aspire to be?) Aaron aspires to enact his revenge on Zane, and one day be the greatest human blacksmith in existence. Since he lost his home at a young age, he also dreams of a perfect care-free life with a wife and a family to call his own again.
Strengths/Talents: (what is your character really, really good at?) Aaron is excellent at both talking his way out of trouble and hand to hand fighting, along with his somewhat passable skills as a craftsman and blacksmith.
Weaknesses/Inabilities: (what is a skill that your character needs to work on?) Swordplay and sight, though the second one is unavoidable. Due to this injury to his eye he is unable to see very well and has terrible hand-eye coordination, making his dreams of becoming the world’s greatest blacksmith a hefty challenge.
Appearance: (what does your character look like?; how tall are they?; hair color?; scars?) Aaron is five foot nine, has black hair, one brown eye and one redstone fake eye. He has several scars and calluses on his hands from fighting and blacksmithing, and has a large scar where his left eye used to be, though he keeps it covered with the redstone eye. Despite the adversity he faces, Aaron always wears his blacksmithing goggles simply in the childish hope to one day see all his dreams come true.
Skin: (please provide us a screenshot of your character’s skin; if you need help, see our screenshot guide here.)
