Edgar Bobins smiles at the paper and sends a response, asking to meet the man in the tavern in Reedsborough.

 

(( PM _Jandy_ when I'm on and I'll help.

((Also I'm p sure there is a guide to the accent on the halfling mega thread, it takes practice so just keep working through it and seeing what looks like an Irish or Scottish accent

Sadly, my char. lives in Melsburry, not Reedsborough, and you would have to travel some distance in order to get to the site of my burrow.

It's very nice of you to make a list for that sort of thing, but the section that says 'Halfling roleplay' is made for, well, roleplay posts. You should ask and FM to move this to tutorials and guides, or off-topic.

Agreed, its a nice post and all, but it needs to be in a different location

[!] A small piece of paper drifts though the wind around the newly formed halfing village of Mellsbury

"I be in need of a mina (miner with accent) to 'elp me expand my burrow a wee bi', as I am not used to the way of the pickaxe in 'and and it would take me a long while to finis' the whole burrow by myself. To the mina who 'elps me I will give them a fine set of lea'her armor I made myself, but if a reward in coins is desired, I 'ave 100 minas to give. The work should be quick, takin' no more than a few minutes to complete. If you 'ave any ques'ions regardin' dis offer, send me a bird."

((I'm new to the halfing accent, so just ignore any mistakes I make))

Gerald's face turns into a grin "A new halfling town ay? Well I just might think of joinin' that town! I just hope they have plenteh of food fer all of us!"

((I'm really bad a halfing accents)) 

"I also hope that dey 'ave some animals o'er there!"

Give me a torch and 10 minutes

 

Your point is?

About 75-85% was dug using shovels, I know this because the gravel mainly disappeared over the days in horizontal layers instead of vertical ones.

Green text: Change from original application (I saw an error I had to fix)

What’s your Minecraft account name?:Jumperhand3

How old are you?:14

What timezone are you in?: Central Timezone (In the U.S.A)

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?: Staying in character; I have had bad experiences on other Minecraft RP servers before, also the rule about no powergaming; Again, I have had some bad experiences on other Minecraft RP servers.

Are there any rule(s) that confuse you or don’t make sense? (if so we can help clear it up!): The only thing that confuses me is the insane amount of lore there is. I am sure I will learn this all eventually, but it would be nice if the staff for LOTC could make the lore more friendly to new players.

How did you find out about Lord of the Craft?: minecraftservers.com , on the 5th page or so.

Link(s) to past Whitelist Applications (If applicable):

Have you logged into the server yet? (You cannot be whitelisted without logging in at least once): Yes, I flew around quite a bit.

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?: The act of playing as a character and doing what that character would do in that situation (Not what YOU would do in that situation)

What is metagaming?: Having your character know things that you as a player know but your character shouldn't, a great example of this would be having your character know where some treasure is even though your character has never been told where it is RPly.

What is power-emoting (powergaming)?: Power emoting is using emotes that have the effect already determined in the emote ("*Strangles Joe to death with his rope") a more proper format of an emote shows an intent to do something but leaves the result undecided ("*TRIES to strangle Joe to death with his rope") ("*Moves as if to strangle Joe with his rope")

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?) Philias

Character’s sex: (male or female?) Male

Character’s race: (you can find all the playable races here.) Human, highlander

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!) 26

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.) Philias was born around Felsen in the year 1561 (1587-26(my character's age)=1561), and his parents were both normal farmers who worked the land;His mother died in childbirth when he was 7, and on a trip to meet relatives in Savoy his father was stabbed by a bandit;Philias was 9 at the time. Although the name of the bandit is still unknown, it is believed that he was part of a Thieves Guild due a witness account of him((The witness was a friend of the family who was travelling with them));the witness said he wore a small cloth badge on his shirt with unknown writing on it and a drawing of a dagger. Philias grew up as an orphan and had to get used to living in harsh conditions;he also learned how to play the flute after he found a flute carved out of bone discarded in a refuse heap. Philias was never able to travel far from Felsen and the surrounding countryside, but if he could travel anywhere he would want to see the city of Laurelin because he had heard that it was a city that almost rivaled Felsen in its grandness. Philias also learned how to swim by swimming in a local river.

         When Philias was 10 Vailor was abandoned;an event that caused a lot of stress for Philias, for he had to leave behind not only the only home he has ever known, but also had to make the transition without any parents to guide him. Philias eventually decided to stay in Beanville, a village just outside of Johannesburg. Due to not having a farm or the ability to make a farm to get food, Philias was forced to beg for food in order to survive. Philias eventually decided that staying as a poor orphan begging for food was not a great way too spend his life, and when he was 13 he decided to get a job working as a miner in a local mine, he didn't get paid that much but it was still enough for him to afford a roof over his head (although not a very good roof). Because of his time spent mining Philias has weaker lungs due to exposure to coal dust. At the age of 17 Philias started saving up his money to buy a sword so that he could live out his dream of avenging his father by finding the bandit who killed his father and giving him a taste of his own medicine (Death). By the age of 19 that dream became a reality. Philias decided to lo leave his job as a miner in order to make more money for himself. Philias tried out for the Orenian Army to give his life purpose (and maybe get him closer to the bandit he is after) but was rejected due to his "lack of upper body strength", so Philias had to become a minstrel temporarily in order to sustain himself. Philias has spent the last few years trying to improve his strength so that he may be accepted into the army. Philias has also forgotten the names of his mother and father because they died so long ago, and he wishes dearly to be able to know their names once more. (He also sold all of his belongings except for his sword and flute (nobody would buy the flute anyways) in order to buy the armor that his is wearing in his skin picture)

((I am aware that I will not start the game with a sword and a flute))

((I fixed the cliche by having Philias's dad be killed by a bandit, thus avoiding the polar opposite, in fact, Philias has a lot in common with the typical bandit, he is a disadvantaged person who is used to hardship, and the typical bandit is... well... a disadvantaged person who is used to hardship))

Personality Traits: (what are your character's quirks?; habits?; likes and dislikes?) Likes: swordplay

Ambitions: (what does your character aspire to be?)One of Philias's ambitions is to find the bandit he is after in order to avenge his father. Philias also wants to learn the names of his mother and father again, as well as join the Orenian Army in order to get closet to the bandit he is after, And lastly((This wish is kinda impossible for Philias to do, but he wants to do it anyways, despite what people tell him)), Philias wants to go back to Vailor and see the city of Laurelin ((The new Wood Elf capital, Linandri, isn't enough for him, he want's to see Laurelin in all of its old glory))

Strengths/Talents: (what is your character really, really good at?) Philias is good at swimming because swimming was one of the few things he had to pass the time when he was a begger.(He is a strong swimmer, but his ruined lungs prevent him from being a long distance swimmer), Philias is also knows how to play the flute due to experimentation with the bone flute he found, Philias is somewhat good at swordplay and has been practicing for a while, although he is not amazing at sword combat he is better than some.

Weaknesses/Inabilities: (what is a skill that your character needs to work on?) Inability: Has weaker lungs (he can't sprint for long distances). (Due to his weaker lungs some people call him "Wheezy"). Weaknesses: Needs more upper body strength so that he may join the Orenian Army (See Ambitions)

Appearance: (what does your character look like?; how tall are they?; hair color?; scars?) Height: 5'11" Weight: 143 lbs Hair Color: Brown, Philias has a mark on his left shoulder from when he got hit a little too hard with a practice sword when he was practicing his swordplay with a friend.

Skin: (please provide us a screenshot of your character’s skin; if you need help, see our screenshot guide here.) I followed the guide and I didn't get a code called BB / Forum, this is what I got, I hope that one of these is the code you are looking for just under a alternate name 1:<a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=28b75uq" target="_blank"><img src="http://i66.tinypic.com/28b75uq.png" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> 2:http://i66.tinypic.com/28b75uq.png[/IMG] 3:http://tinypic.com/r/28b75uq/9 (I am fairly certain that the 2nd one is the one you are looking for, but I included the others just in case)

(If the skin's armor looks too good for my character to be able to afford it I will be happy to change it; you decide) (Nevermind, I seem to be unable to log into Minecraft.net to change my skin untill I can reset my password to be what it should be)
