Short Disclaimer before app: Luvbug was in charge of my original app, she put it under review and then made it "pending" because of an issue with my powergaming definition. Everything else with my app was perfect according to her. I fixed the issue with the above definition and messaged her, asking her politely to take a second to verify that I'd changed it and to whitelist me on the server if she had a chance. I know she's busy and probably has a lot going on, but she has been online 3 times since I sent her that message and has yet to take just one minute to verify that everything's all good with my app. It has been 19 hours since she has last responded to/checked it, and while I don't want to be a jerk and go over her head like this I really want to get on the server and play, I'm very excited by LOTC. If another mod could give my app a quick once-over in her stead and accept me that'd be fantastic! Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience!
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?: EnzoDaBoss.
How old are you?: 20.
What timezone are you in?: United States Central Time(Chicago).
Are you aware the server is PG-13: Yes.
Have you read and agreed to the rules?: Yes.
What’s the rule you agree with the most?: I like the fact that everyone must remain in-character whilst in-game. I have yet to find a really solid, fully immersive RP server that operates like this.
Are there any rule(s) that confuse you or don’t make sense?: Why isn’t lying to other players allowed if it’s constructive? I feel like lying could help advance certain characters’ stories if used properly.
How did you find out about Lord of the Craft?: A friend of mine(Weak) plays here as a Highlander, he never stops talking about this server and got me interested through the hype he’s constantly emitting about LOTC.
Link(s) to past Whitelist Applications: I’m also whitelisted on a medieval/fantasy creative build server named Conwylia. I applied a couple of years ago and the forums have since been reset, but if you would like validation of this fact I can get that from the admins over there.
Have you logged into the server yet?: Yes!
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?: Completely immersing one’s self in a character and the world that the character occupies, as well as said world's lore.
What is metagaming?: The usage of external knowledge that is unknown in a given RP game/environment(giving the person who uses it an unfair advantage). ILLEGAL!
What is power-emoting (powergaming)?: Powergaming is forcing another character/person into doing an action, or forcing a condition upon them. For example, if I were to slice someone in half with a sword that would be considered powergaming. No-one would realistically get sliced in half, they would have the opportunity to parry or dodge or something.
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: Adam Erickson.
Character’s sex: Male.
Character’s race: Highlander/Hanseti.
Character’s age: 20.
Biography: Adam was born into a family of middling wealth living in St. Karlsburg on July 9th, 1563. His first years were spent in the city with his family, but in his eighth summer his family moved out to a more rural location in the region of Vasiland, on the border between the Holy Orenian Empire and the Grand Kingdom of Urguan. He spent the majority of his formative years in a small logging village, located in the proximity of several different Dwarven settlements. Because of this, he picked up a decent amount of farming and logging knowledge, while still only an average farmer at best, he is better at farming and taking care of animals than most of his human counterparts.
Adam’s father was a merchant until his merchandise was stolen by bandits during transit on one of his voyages, at which point he went bankrupt. Because of his past profession, Adam's father greatly valued education, and while there wasn’t much use for literacy in his family’s rural location, he taught Adam how to read and write.
Personality Traits: Adam is a fiery and passionate person, quick to both anger and compassion. He is very dependent on others as he is a social being, however he also occasionally values peace and solitude. He cares about those that are important to him greatly and is kind to those he loves, however he is also quick to anger and thus can sometimes come across as brusque and/or sullen. He likes the pace and atmosphere of the city life, but also loves nature and rural villages/areas.
Ambitions: Adam is content living in his own home in a rural area off in the woods somewhere working as a lumberjack/farmer. He would be equally happy to settle down and have a family (creating a living for himself off of the land) as he would be to climb the ranks in the army of the Kingdom of Haense. He is already skilled at combat due to training given to him by his father and dwarves from nearby villages, and although his experience is rather low, he knows how to use an axe on the living well as trees. Even though he is content with his lot as a lumberjack/farmer, he does oftentimes dream of climbing the ranks in the army and making a name for himself as a warrior of great renown.
Strengths/Talents: Due to having lived in both an urban center and a rural area, Adam is quick to adapt to his surroundings and is comfortable in almost any setting. He knows the ins-and-outs of the city and all the dangers it presents, but is equally comfortable/acquainted with the countryside and farming life. He is clever, aware of his surroundings and quick to act.
Weaknesses/Inabilities: He is very impulsive which can lead to him sometimes acting rashly without thinking. Since he is oftentimes quick to anger, he can come across as harsh or cruel. He also is quick to cause trouble with those who have opinions adverse to his own, which can sometimes lead to him getting involved in unnecessary conflicts.
Appearance: Adam has red hair and a full red beard. He is six feet tall and 170 pounds. He only has one scar(due to his relative inexperience in battle), located at the beginning of his left eyebrow, stretching only an inch or so to his nose bridge. He lost one of his eyes during a logging accident, and he covers his injury with an eye patch. His remaining eye is narrow and his jaw is strong. He is fair skinned.
Skin: Here’s a render of my skin! http://imgur.com/a/ntrFr
