Welcome to the premier Minecraft Xbox 360 edition RPG server: Renatus!
As you can tell from the "Find a Player" section there are TONS of RPG servers going on at any given time. We are not just another RPG server, let us prove to you how different we are. Renatus is run by a dedicated team of Operators who have worked tirelessly to fuse Player versus Player (PVP), Player versus Environment (PVE), Arena Battles, Questing Systems and a Player Driven Economy together to deliver the best possible Minecraft RPG experience on the Xbox.
Our brand of PVP is unique and dynamic. A separate PVP map is maintained which shows which areas are contested. Established cities are the only safe zones as the world starts out. It is up to players to establish defenses, strongholds and outposts to expand and create new safe zones across the map. As the world is shaped and developed by players the world gradually becomes safer.
Renatus includes 4 cities to chose from to settle and build in at the start. Each city has it's own unique style, quests and opportunities for its residents. Established cities include the port of Thetis, the mountain stronghold of Nilsbane, the underground thieves guild of Laverna and the hilltop sanctuary of Dunatis. While the world's style is primarily medieval/fantasy, we have not constrained ourselves to a specific era or design influence. You are bound to find a place to settle down that fits your building style and play style.
Our dedication and attention to detail, along with our desire to keep things fun is what sets us apart from other RPGs here. We currently have over 30 quests established and counting! The world is hosted on a shared Gamertag which ensures optimum play time, in addition to server hosts from around the globe.
Interested in joining? Then follow these simple guidelines to be considered for our world. Just copy this form, fill in the blanks and submit. We will get back to you ASAP. Please know that we are a mature crowd, 18 and older only please. We may make exceptions for 16 and older based on the quality of the application and behavior once invited into the world.

Brief character description (this is a RPG after all, so be creative!) -
Sir Richard was once the earl of the freelands known as Karsh. Overthrown by a corrupt mage named Serkesh, he lost more than his kingdom. Serkesh once served as Richard's advisor, but was unknowingly cunning and skilled in the dark arts, turning the people of Karsh against their beloved earl.
Now kingdomless, desire for revenge and locating a method to reverse the charms that bind his people drives Richard on. Having heard of the Guild of Guardians as a child, he traveled to the outer reaches of the world to see if the men and women of the guild lived up to his childhood stories. Richard is not naiive, he knows he will not be able to reclaim his kingdom alone. Even though magika has wained and become all but non-existant across the lands, the curse on his people showed no sign of weakening.
With war on the horizon of Karsh, Richard could not come to the aid of his people while the curse blinded his people and turned them against him. With the curse intact, Richard faced war on both sides. His journey was nearly over as he stood within the shadow of a massive castle where Richard believe the Guardians held their court. As he approached the city the sky grew dark and suddenly everything around him flashed frozen. It was as though winter had set it in an instant. Dazed and confused, Richard look towards the sky where he saw dazzling lights and a strange break in the clouds. Before Richard could quite understand what had happened, an ever growing void of darkness and ice consumed him.
When he awoke after what had seemed to be an eternity of sleep Richard's eyes were quite blinded by the piercing light. When his eyes finally adjusted he was standing on the roof of a strange stone structure. He could hear the pulsating whir of a portal put could not pinpoint the source. Then he looked to the sky and there it was, a void much like the one he had seen before all went black. Looking past the portal he saw a city in the distance, a city he had never seen before. He knew he was no longer in his realm, but in the realm of Renatus.
Perhaps he would find the cure here to bring his people back. Only time will tell.

Comment: I would love to join your server it sounds like a lot of fun, but if I can't play because of the age restriction I understand.
Hello! I'm Kenn, one of the operators of this Server. I'd like to take a moment to give a brief introduction and overview of the application process.
As Artistik, I am the one who oversees the questing system in Renatus. Our operations team has created a world with a complex backstory to entertain people with a story. But it is not our story alone. We rely on each player who joins us to contribute to the overall history of what happened before. Players who are approved are usually ones who have created a small story revealing the history of their character, what they did in their life before coming to Renatus. That shows us that they are willing to take the time and effort to think about a character (don't worry, we won't make you actually act out as a character; we just like to see your creativity!)
Also, in important note about the age restriction; we do not have the 18 and over restriction just to be mean, or just to exclude young people. But with no controls to limit what online players are able to say or build, we are unable to guarantee that players below the age of 18 are not exposed to inappropriate language. As such, you could imagine how angry your parents would be if they walked into the room and saw you playing a game in which there was inappropriate language, especially in Minecraft, a game designed to be kid friendly! This is why we are unable to admit players who are under 18 at this time (with rare exceptions, as Richcraft mentioned above).
So, we thank you for your interest, but we ask that you take the time to read and follow the rules of application before submitting actual applications.
I'll post my own sample application, so you can see what we are after:
Gamertag - ARTISTIK

Schedule of availability on Xbox- I am typically involved for 1-4 hours a day, sometimes longer on weekends.
Brief character description - During a war being waged on his homeland by an Ender Dragon, Art Istik was a young man who encountered a strange rift and was aged several decades while inside. Driven slightly mad by the experience, he retreated to the caves beneath his homeland, where he discovered a strange magical book. Using knowledge found in this book, he cast a spell to trap the Ender Dragon. It succeeded, but he inadvertently killed twelve people and released enough energy to shift the world off its axis, casting it into eternal winter. The survivors were transported to another world, where he vowed to built a safe place for refugees from his world.
It is important to note that this description states my character has cast a spell, but that does not necessarily mean he will have that ability in Renatus. You can have your character be the King of your own world, but that does not mean he will be a king here. In Renatus, every character gets a fresh start as a regular citizen!

Very interesting back story. I suppose we could require you to hiss on the mic as you get closer to people. While I understand that you are used to language etc. your age is still a concern. We were very clear that we may make exceptions for 16 and older which you fall outside of. If you have any pictures of your building ability or something to strengthen your application, this is your opportunity.

Gamertag - Kyriole Age - 16 Location - US, Eastern Headset type - Turtle Beaches Have Web Access? - (required for quest related into, as well as the rules of the server) Yes Schedule of availability on Xbox- Every day after 3pm Brief character description (this is a RPG after all, so be creative!) - Montressor, a very clever yet senseless man whose life came to an abrupt halt, after bargaining for what would become the worst decision of his life. It all started when he was just a boy. Montressor grew up in a very rich and healthy setting, living day by day taking on great responsibilities by his father, a wealthy merchant, on a land that used to be called Avnette. This was the place where life was once elegant and calm. This was also the last place Montressor ever laid eyes on his beloved family, who come to nothing more than a blank thought to his corrupted mind. Anyway, after the Great War, Avnette was burned to the ground for supporting the losing side and all the people that lived there were taken as slaves, including his family. Now you might be asking yourself, wait a minute, how did Montressor escape? The answer is he in fact didn't escape, rather just luck put him at the right place, at the right time. Before the horrific events took place, Montressor was sent to a city nearby to pick up some things for his father, when he spotted the smoke filling the air from a distance and feared the worse. After coming to a clear valley from where he could view his home being incinerated, Montressor knew right then and there that what was once the Era of Peace, is now the Era of Revenge. After adapting for years to come to the new environment he traveled far too, Montressor's skills sharpened in combat, hunting, and communications. After being spotted in the woods several times by a guard near another great kingdom, it took 6 men to capture and restrain him because he posed as a great threat to the newly developed kingdom. To Montressor, he was just scouting the new area he was exploring, but to the guards, he took on an appearance of an assassin. After being questioned and tortured for hours, the king himself came down to the prison to further question the scavenger. Montressor looked right into the King's eyes and said, "I am not an assassin, rather than just a man seeking revenge for everything he has lost." The king took his words and found it hard to not believe him. So, in Montressor's great surprise, the king offered him a job as the King's guardian himself. Montressor of course accepted the offer only because it seemed a great start in rising back up to the occasion of rescuing his family, if they're still alive. So, after a couple of weeks of training furthermore, there was a ceremony to appoint Montressor as the King's guardian legally. After the great celebration, the king invited him to take a tour of the palace he will now be assigned to stay. As Montressor eyed the exquisite palace, he finally came to the King's private quarters and sees a figure behind the bed out on the viewing area of the kingdom. He assumes she is the queen and the king is quick to introduce her. As she enters the room and becomes clear in the light, Montressor is shocked to be viewing a very familiar face from his past. He doesn't want to believe it, but it comes to his attention that the queen he is staring at in awe is, in fact his sister and waits for the king to leave so he can confront the woman. She does not recognize him but when his eyes tear and both siblings hug, she is very confused and shocked as well. Montressor is quick to offer her a way out of there, but as he grabs her hand to prepare to leave, he soon realizes why her face disappears and the room around him turns black. Knowing that he was unconscious and is now in the middle of nowhere in what appears to feel like a box, Montressor cant get over that what he just thought was the end of his journey just became the beginning. Montressor breaks out of it easily and is a bit depressed from the betrayal of what he thought was a great king and makes his revenge deep inside of him only become more infuriated by all of the pain he has suffered from. As he gets situated with his surroundings, he walks ahead a bit only to spot a sign saying Welcome To Renatus. To Montressor, this is sign translates to, Welcome to a Chance at Peace. All that is going through his mind is, he must discover what has happened to the rest of his family and make sure the ones who contributed to the disappearance of them will suffer from the sins they have committed.

Gamertag - Ruigi Age - 29 Location - Columbus, OH Headset type - standard Have Web Access? - yes Schedule of availability on Xbox- Mostly evenings and nights, daily Brief character description -
Ruigi stood in a forest. He had no idea how he had gotten there or even how long he'd been there. While this would drive most men mad, he had grown accustomed to it. He had been world-jumping for so long that he couldn't even remember his life before or if he even had one. The sun was shining brightly so he was in no hurry for shelter. He knew the night and the terrors that it brings but even death was simply an inconvenience. No voices echoed in his head, as they often do; so he reasoned that he might be alone. This saddened him; no friends, nor foes, he was alone again. It had become a game to him. He dug around in his pockets and came out with a paper map. "This must be a new one" he muttered. The map was blank except for a small area around him. Sometimes the world would be familiar, other times it would not. He had been a king, a peasant, a thief and a rogue. He had adapted to the 'rules' of the worlds he was thrown into. Sometimes he would live in grand cities, selling wares or mining ore. Other times he would hide in the shadows and fight others for the meager things that would spill onto the ground upon their demise. He had been everything from a mighty king to a lowly farmer but he had learned much about the worlds that he inhabited. He knew how to find rare stones and craft them into useful items. He had built machines for a multitude of purposes; for farming, for war and even out of boredom. Yet, every time it started just like this. He awoke on an island and started punching trees.

Thank you for your application Greetoh. There is a section in the forums you will be invited to where you can post your introduction. I recommend you elaborate further on this "betrayal" and what motivates your character. Also, before you decide on a city, please take an opportunity to carefully consider them all in game. Please become intimately familiar with all the server rules. You're in.

You're backstory is a bit short and vague. How did you come to the world of Renatus, what motivates your character, tell me more about this nation you came from. You're not denied, but I'll have to see a bit more before we send you a tentative invite.

I'm not sure if you mean "green" christmas tree, but regardless of what you meant, I'm having difficulty trying to figure out how a personified tree will fit into the lore. While we would appreciate support with video making, the quality of your application and age raises concerns. We appreciate your application, but unfortunately I cannot approve your entry into the server.

Please forgive me if I come off sounding like the grammar police, but capitalization and spell check wouldn't kill you! Nonetheless, this isn't a writing composition test. Your story shows promise, I hope you will clean it up for the forums. You're in.

Please see the application example in the first post. In order to apply for this server you must provide a background story for your character. While we don't require you to be in character while playing, the backstory gives us an idea of your creativity and how you plan to contribute to the world.

Brief character description (this is a RPG after all, so be creative!) -Gero Van Wolf is Half-Vampire, Half-Human. He has been outcasted by his kind and abandoned. Lost in the world all he has left is to Explore. He wonders from place to place hoping to find people to accept him but every last one treats him as an outcast. No one wants to get near him as he passes by each village, he hears the wispers of a villiger asking some one about his Pure White Skin As he over hears what the villager has to say about him. He gets thrown into a Rage and loses Consciousness as he hears screams from a distance. When he recovered from his blakout he notices that he's been carried by a stream somwhere as he pulls himself to the shore he noticed his hands covered in blood. He pulls himself together making shure to get ever last bit of blood off. Not even questioning himself. Suddenly he hears somthing as he hids behind a tree he hears it again... "SsssssSSsssss", he asks himself several times what makes that noise. So he peeks around the tree KABOOOM. ...
He wakes up screaming and sweating and notices its a new day. He gets dresssed,throwing his armor on, grabing his chest and tools, and starts his day as a trader once again. All as he forgets his past as it once was.
To all applicants: Flexibility is key! When writing your character biography, the more details the better, but do not get overly attached to every single one of them. For example, the world was uninhabited except for villagers when we came here, so if your character says they have been here for a decade, we might need to change that. But if your story is detailed and well written, we may make room for your character to have been here in one way or another before we all arrived!
The Lore of Renatus has been established for a few months already, but it is not unheard of for a player's biography details to be incorporated into the Lore. On a previous server, we had a player with such a cool backstory that we actually re-wrote part of the lore to include his mortal enemy as an enemy of the entire society, so there is tremendous opportunity for your character to have an impact on this world! But you should also keep in mind that unless the details are PARTICULARLY STRONG, your characters backstory may have to be tweaked a bit once you get approved for entry into Renatus.
The best way to get accepted is to write a backstory that has great details, a decent understanding of spelling, grammar and punctuation (remember, maturity is NOT just about age) and that sets the tone of a voyager who has arrived here from another place (our characters have come through a portal from another planet, so don't limit yourself to having rowed over from the next continent). We also hate Endermen especially!
My job here is as a storyteller, and I am proud of the story we have created. I am giving you the opportunity to help me tell the story, if your details are strong enough! And one final note, this application should show your creativity, but we will not make you act in a character voice, or anything. We're just an ordinary group of creative people who play Minecraft, and we're looking for people of the same type!
Craft on!

Renatus RPG Server
Welcome to the premier Minecraft Xbox 360 edition RPG server: Renatus!
As you can tell from the "Find a Player" section there are TONS of RPG servers going on at any given time. We are not just another RPG server, let us prove to you how different we are. Renatus is run by a dedicated team of Operators who have worked tirelessly to fuse Player versus Player (PVP), Player versus Environment (PVE), Arena Battles, Questing Systems and a Player Driven Economy together to deliver the best possible Minecraft RPG experience on the Xbox.
Our brand of PVP is unique and dynamic. A separate PVP map is maintained which shows which areas are contested. Established cities are the only safe zones as the world starts out. It is up to players to establish defenses, strongholds and outposts to expand and create new safe zones across the map. As the world is shaped and developed by players the world gradually becomes safer.
Renatus includes 4 cities to chose from to settle and build in at the start. Each city has it's own unique style, quests and opportunities for its residents. Established cities include the port of Thetis, the mountain stronghold of Nilsbane, the underground thieves guild of Laverna and the hilltop sanctuary of Dunatis. While the world's style is primarily medieval/fantasy, we have not constrained ourselves to a specific era or design influence. You are bound to find a place to settle down that fits your building style and play style.
Our dedication and attention to detail, along with our desire to keep things fun is what sets us apart from other RPGs here. We currently have over 30 quests established and counting! The world is hosted on a shared Gamertag which ensures optimum play time, in addition to server hosts from around the globe.
Interested in joining? Then follow these simple guidelines to be considered for our world. Just copy this form, fill in the blanks and submit. We will get back to you ASAP. Please know that we are a mature crowd, 18 and older only please. We may make exceptions for 16 and older based on the quality of the application and behavior once invited into the world.

Brief character description (this is a RPG after all, so be creative!) -
Sir Richard was once the earl of the freelands known as Karsh. Overthrown by a corrupt mage named Serkesh, he lost more than his kingdom. Serkesh once served as Richard's advisor, but was unknowingly cunning and skilled in the dark arts, turning the people of Karsh against their beloved earl.
Now kingdomless, desire for revenge and locating a method to reverse the charms that bind his people drives Richard on. Having heard of the Guild of Guardians as a child, he traveled to the outer reaches of the world to see if the men and women of the guild lived up to his childhood stories. Richard is not naiive, he knows he will not be able to reclaim his kingdom alone. Even though magika has wained and become all but non-existant across the lands, the curse on his people showed no sign of weakening.
With war on the horizon of Karsh, Richard could not come to the aid of his people while the curse blinded his people and turned them against him. With the curse intact, Richard faced war on both sides. His journey was nearly over as he stood within the shadow of a massive castle where Richard believe the Guardians held their court. As he approached the city the sky grew dark and suddenly everything around him flashed frozen. It was as though winter had set it in an instant. Dazed and confused, Richard look towards the sky where he saw dazzling lights and a strange break in the clouds. Before Richard could quite understand what had happened, an ever growing void of darkness and ice consumed him.
When he awoke after what had seemed to be an eternity of sleep Richard's eyes were quite blinded by the piercing light. When his eyes finally adjusted he was standing on the roof of a strange stone structure. He could hear the pulsating whir of a portal put could not pinpoint the source. Then he looked to the sky and there it was, a void much like the one he had seen before all went black. Looking past the portal he saw a city in the distance, a city he had never seen before. He knew he was no longer in his realm, but in the realm of Renatus.
Perhaps he would find the cure here to bring his people back. Only time will tell.

Character description: A creeper who defected to the good side and despises his monster brethren he no fights for good and has even learned the human tongue. He will not stop until he's defeated every other mob in Minecraftia. He works as a bounty hunter/mercenary and has no regrets about killing, for a price.

He is undieingly loyal to those he serves/works for and only occasionaly breaks the rules(small ones).
Comment: I would love to join your server it sounds like a lot of fun, but if I can't play because of the age restriction I understand.
As Artistik, I am the one who oversees the questing system in Renatus. Our operations team has created a world with a complex backstory to entertain people with a story. But it is not our story alone. We rely on each player who joins us to contribute to the overall history of what happened before. Players who are approved are usually ones who have created a small story revealing the history of their character, what they did in their life before coming to Renatus. That shows us that they are willing to take the time and effort to think about a character (don't worry, we won't make you actually act out as a character; we just like to see your creativity!)
Also, in important note about the age restriction; we do not have the 18 and over restriction just to be mean, or just to exclude young people. But with no controls to limit what online players are able to say or build, we are unable to guarantee that players below the age of 18 are not exposed to inappropriate language. As such, you could imagine how angry your parents would be if they walked into the room and saw you playing a game in which there was inappropriate language, especially in Minecraft, a game designed to be kid friendly! This is why we are unable to admit players who are under 18 at this time (with rare exceptions, as Richcraft mentioned above).
So, we thank you for your interest, but we ask that you take the time to read and follow the rules of application before submitting actual applications.
I'll post my own sample application, so you can see what we are after:

Brief character description - During a war being waged on his homeland by an Ender Dragon, Art Istik was a young man who encountered a strange rift and was aged several decades while inside. Driven slightly mad by the experience, he retreated to the caves beneath his homeland, where he discovered a strange magical book. Using knowledge found in this book, he cast a spell to trap the Ender Dragon. It succeeded, but he inadvertently killed twelve people and released enough energy to shift the world off its axis, casting it into eternal winter. The survivors were transported to another world, where he vowed to built a safe place for refugees from his world.
It is important to note that this description states my character has cast a spell, but that does not necessarily mean he will have that ability in Renatus. You can have your character be the King of your own world, but that does not mean he will be a king here. In Renatus, every character gets a fresh start as a regular citizen!
Thanks, and happy crafting!

I'm sorry, your age and extremely limited bio is a deal breaker. I'm sorry, thank you for your interest.
Very interesting back story. I suppose we could require you to hiss on the mic as you get closer to people. While I understand that you are used to language etc. your age is still a concern. We were very clear that we may make exceptions for 16 and older which you fall outside of. If you have any pictures of your building ability or something to strengthen your application, this is your opportunity.
If you want to join this server you'll need to take some more time on your character description. We use the character bio as not only a screening tool, but a measure of your creativity. If you can't take the time to write a solid bio, you may not have the level of dedication we are looking for our community to have. Please try again if you wish. Thank you.
Your bio is off to a good start. Please take some time to write a bit more. Tell us about the war, tell us what motivates your character, what skills he has. Anything than just one sentence! Thanks.

Brief character description (this is a RPG after all, so be creative!) - Montressor, a very clever yet senseless man whose life came to an abrupt halt, after bargaining for what would become the worst decision of his life. It all started when he was just a boy. Montressor grew up in a very rich and healthy setting, living day by day taking on great responsibilities by his father, a wealthy merchant, on a land that used to be called Avnette. This was the place where life was once elegant and calm. This was also the last place Montressor ever laid eyes on his beloved family, who come to nothing more than a blank thought to his corrupted mind. Anyway, after the Great War, Avnette was burned to the ground for supporting the losing side and all the people that lived there were taken as slaves, including his family. Now you might be asking yourself, wait a minute, how did Montressor escape? The answer is he in fact didn't escape, rather just luck put him at the right place, at the right time. Before the horrific events took place, Montressor was sent to a city nearby to pick up some things for his father, when he spotted the smoke filling the air from a distance and feared the worse. After coming to a clear valley from where he could view his home being incinerated, Montressor knew right then and there that what was once the Era of Peace, is now the Era of Revenge. After adapting for years to come to the new environment he traveled far too, Montressor's skills sharpened in combat, hunting, and communications. After being spotted in the woods several times by a guard near another great kingdom, it took 6 men to capture and restrain him because he posed as a great threat to the newly developed kingdom. To Montressor, he was just scouting the new area he was exploring, but to the guards, he took on an appearance of an assassin. After being questioned and tortured for hours, the king himself came down to the prison to further question the scavenger. Montressor looked right into the King's eyes and said, "I am not an assassin, rather than just a man seeking revenge for everything he has lost." The king took his words and found it hard to not believe him. So, in Montressor's great surprise, the king offered him a job as the King's guardian himself. Montressor of course accepted the offer only because it seemed a great start in rising back up to the occasion of rescuing his family, if they're still alive. So, after a couple of weeks of training furthermore, there was a ceremony to appoint Montressor as the King's guardian legally. After the great celebration, the king invited him to take a tour of the palace he will now be assigned to stay. As Montressor eyed the exquisite palace, he finally came to the King's private quarters and sees a figure behind the bed out on the viewing area of the kingdom. He assumes she is the queen and the king is quick to introduce her. As she enters the room and becomes clear in the light, Montressor is shocked to be viewing a very familiar face from his past. He doesn't want to believe it, but it comes to his attention that the queen he is staring at in awe is, in fact his sister and waits for the king to leave so he can confront the woman. She does not recognize him but when his eyes tear and both siblings hug, she is very confused and shocked as well. Montressor is quick to offer her a way out of there, but as he grabs her hand to prepare to leave, he soon realizes why her face disappears and the room around him turns black. Knowing that he was unconscious and is now in the middle of nowhere in what appears to feel like a box, Montressor cant get over that what he just thought was the end of his journey just became the beginning. Montressor breaks out of it easily and is a bit depressed from the betrayal of what he thought was a great king and makes his revenge deep inside of him only become more infuriated by all of the pain he has suffered from. As he gets situated with his surroundings, he walks ahead a bit only to spot a sign saying Welcome To Renatus. To Montressor, this is sign translates to, Welcome to a Chance at Peace. All that is going through his mind is, he must discover what has happened to the rest of his family and make sure the ones who contributed to the disappearance of them will suffer from the sins they have committed.

Brief character description -
Ruigi stood in a forest. He had no idea how he had gotten there or even how long he'd been there. While this would drive most men mad, he had grown accustomed to it. He had been world-jumping for so long that he couldn't even remember his life before or if he even had one. The sun was shining brightly so he was in no hurry for shelter. He knew the night and the terrors that it brings but even death was simply an inconvenience. No voices echoed in his head, as they often do; so he reasoned that he might be alone. This saddened him; no friends, nor foes, he was alone again. It had become a game to him. He dug around in his pockets and came out with a paper map. "This must be a new one" he muttered. The map was blank except for a small area around him. Sometimes the world would be familiar, other times it would not. He had been a king, a peasant, a thief and a rogue. He had adapted to the 'rules' of the worlds he was thrown into. Sometimes he would live in grand cities, selling wares or mining ore. Other times he would hide in the shadows and fight others for the meager things that would spill onto the ground upon their demise. He had been everything from a mighty king to a lowly farmer but he had learned much about the worlds that he inhabited. He knew how to find rare stones and craft them into useful items. He had built machines for a multitude of purposes; for farming, for war and even out of boredom. Yet, every time it started just like this. He awoke on an island and started punching trees.
Hey, if nobody gets to this before I get home, I will send you the nessecary info. So far this is the best I have seen all day. I'm looking forward to seeing more apps like this and I am looking forward to seeing you online soon Ruigi.

Brief character description (this is a RPG after all, so be creative!) - I am a simple logger who has a penchant for killing trees. A peaceful man, my mission is to travel the world providing wood to the people at a reasonable price. With my Trusty axe and sometimes pick I can chop down any tree you can point me at.
Thank you for your application Greetoh. There is a section in the forums you will be invited to where you can post your introduction. I recommend you elaborate further on this "betrayal" and what motivates your character. Also, before you decide on a city, please take an opportunity to carefully consider them all in game. Please become intimately familiar with all the server rules. You're in.
You're backstory is a bit short and vague. How did you come to the world of Renatus, what motivates your character, tell me more about this nation you came from. You're not denied, but I'll have to see a bit more before we send you a tentative invite.
You have clearly put a great deal of time in developing a backstory for your character. Great application, invite details incoming. You're in.
I'm not sure if you mean "green" christmas tree, but regardless of what you meant, I'm having difficulty trying to figure out how a personified tree will fit into the lore. While we would appreciate support with video making, the quality of your application and age raises concerns. We appreciate your application, but unfortunately I cannot approve your entry into the server.
Please forgive me if I come off sounding like the grammar police, but capitalization and spell check wouldn't kill you! Nonetheless, this isn't a writing composition test. Your story shows promise, I hope you will clean it up for the forums. You're in.
Excellent backstory! You're in.
Thank you for your interest. As stated in my reply to you, we will consider your application shortly.
I need to know a little bit more about your character aside from your deep desire to cut down trees. Please give us a bit more so we can consider your application.

Please see the application example in the first post. In order to apply for this server you must provide a background story for your character. While we don't require you to be in character while playing, the backstory gives us an idea of your creativity and how you plan to contribute to the world. At this time your application is incomplete.
In our world you can have your fair share of peace and turmoil should you choose. You're in.

Brief character description (this is a RPG after all, so be creative!) -Gero Van Wolf is Half-Vampire, Half-Human. He has been outcasted by his kind and abandoned. Lost in the world all he has left is to Explore. He wonders from place to place hoping to find people to accept him but every last one treats him as an outcast. No one wants to get near him as he passes by each village, he hears the wispers of a villiger asking some one about his Pure White Skin As he over hears what the villager has to say about him. He gets thrown into a Rage and loses Consciousness as he hears screams from a distance. When he recovered from his blakout he notices that he's been carried by a stream somwhere as he pulls himself to the shore he noticed his hands covered in blood. He pulls himself together making shure to get ever last bit of blood off. Not even questioning himself. Suddenly he hears somthing as he hids behind a tree he hears it again... "SsssssSSsssss", he asks himself several times what makes that noise. So he peeks around the tree KABOOOM. ...
He wakes up screaming and sweating and notices its a new day. He gets dresssed,throwing his armor on, grabing his chest and tools, and starts his day as a trader once again. All as he forgets his past as it once was.
The Lore of Renatus has been established for a few months already, but it is not unheard of for a player's biography details to be incorporated into the Lore. On a previous server, we had a player with such a cool backstory that we actually re-wrote part of the lore to include his mortal enemy as an enemy of the entire society, so there is tremendous opportunity for your character to have an impact on this world! But you should also keep in mind that unless the details are PARTICULARLY STRONG, your characters backstory may have to be tweaked a bit once you get approved for entry into Renatus.
The best way to get accepted is to write a backstory that has great details, a decent understanding of spelling, grammar and punctuation (remember, maturity is NOT just about age) and that sets the tone of a voyager who has arrived here from another place (our characters have come through a portal from another planet, so don't limit yourself to having rowed over from the next continent). We also hate Endermen especially!
My job here is as a storyteller, and I am proud of the story we have created. I am giving you the opportunity to help me tell the story, if your details are strong enough! And one final note, this application should show your creativity, but we will not make you act in a character voice, or anything. We're just an ordinary group of creative people who play Minecraft, and we're looking for people of the same type!
Craft on!
