-Character name:
Agaron Snow
-Character race:
(High) Elf
-Character age:
35
-Character Occupation
No specific occupation
-Character description
Agaron is a 7'2” high elf with blonde hair. His eyes are a light blue and his face is pretty noble looking. The often wears his armor (save the helm that obscures his vision) and carries around a two handed sword.
-Character personality and traits
Agaron is good in almost every sense of the word. The is a bit of a white knight as in he’ll often aid those in need but the is also a wise man who understands when certain occasions call for a softer hand and a subtler approach.
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
(Not as detailed as I would have liked, but I wanted to be quick and to the point, without revealing too much about the character that could be learned in roleplay.)
Agaron was ward of a kind nobleman who treated him like the did his own son Gail. Growing up he was taught the way of the sword by the estate’s guard captain on order of the lord, who himself favored the large blade approach (hense Agaron’s use of them).
But on top of his combat training the was taught many other things as well. Which include but are not limited to... Gentlemanly things such as playing the lute, penmanship, cartography, horse riding etc. But on top of that the was also taught more practical things like hunting, fishing, camp making and the basics of medicine.
Upon coming of age Agaron set off to make his own name. Which so far hasn’t turned out too well, but Agaron is hopeful. And now he’s arrived in Barkemstead. What adventures await him in the near future hmm?

Agaron would chase the child down, his being older and fit allowing him to catch the child easily. The would then reprimand the child for stealing for “Crime is wrong”. But seeing the child the would allow the child to keep the money and maybe even buy him a meal.
You’re heading back to the city through the woods when you hear a whining coming from nearby.

Around it is three smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help, they’ll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population.
Agaron would look upon the injured wolf with sorrow. He would then shake his head and clear his mind before prying the bear trap open and rushing the wolf and her pups home. He would patch the mother up as well as the could before going and fetching a doctor to save the dog’s life and let the mother and pups live with him afterward.

Character
Name: Fijor Dragonmane
Age: 21
Race: Human
Occupation: Mystic Knight
Character Info
Description: Fijor is a tall 6'10" Human man that roams the land and offers help whenever needed. He appears brutish yet he has knowledge of arcane arts, creatures of the night, and even blacksmithing. Though he has no set home, he doestend to like companions even though he usually travels alone. Tends to use composite armor being a mix of light and heavy armor to allow him felability along with stability. His armor is usually dyed in the following fashion: Polished White Plate mail, Dark blue cloth armor under the plate mail, and a unchanged rugged hood. Often uses a battleaxe that isn't colored in any way other then the blood of monsters staining it. This usually scares off bandits as they think its human blood.
Personality: Fijor, although with the look of a kind of holy executioner, doesn't enjoy fighting though will not hesitate to defend himself against monsters, human combatants, or even political officials if need be. He is more of a kind hearted supporting being that would rather craft a village worth of armors and weapons and heal the sick rather then going out to a dangerous dungeon on his own. He is, though, very prideful and will dive head first into a pit of skeletons and scatter them all if his pride as a warrior is called into question. This makes him very fool hearted and easily tricked into dangerous situations.
Biography: Fijor was born in the north, in a fridged forest to his parents, Magus and Cleric Vinessa Destra and Warrior Smith Dosmin Dragonmane. Growing up was tough as the fridges wastes he lived in was unrelenting, but he managed and gained a natural resistence to the cold. He learned basic fire spells from his mother to aid his surviva while his father taught him about ores, mining, and smithing. Over time, fijor noticed that he was extremely lucky in mining operations lead by his father as he would find massive veins of metal ores and even clusters of gem stones. His luck allowed his family to move to a city where he was even more lucky at finding jobs from inn keepers and even some guards to clear out nearby mine shafts and goblin dens. At the age of 15, he was accepted to the city guard as an apprentice to a noble knight and learned what he could. Soon though, the city was beset opon by creatures of the night, beings that no one in the city known exsisted. In 3 days the city fell, leaving fijo and his parents as the soul survivors as they hid in the church as the creatures seemed to not bother with it. After this, they left the ruined city, leaving scavagables alone as they dont want to risk finding some lurking creatures. They became nomads and begain to learn the trade. When fijor hit the age of 20, he left the care of his parents with some supplies, his usual composite armor, and an axe which he extended and enlarged to be used as a weapon and survival tool. He now acts as a nomad scholar, learning more about magics, healing arts, and smithing while he defends himself from raiders and bandits as well as monsters, honing his combat skills.
You're walking around the markets at around noon. There are a lot of people around you, still gathering their items as they prepare to shut down their many stands. Suddenly you feel a gentile lifting of your coin purse as a child graces you and soon after they take off sprinting. You have been robbed. : Fijor shakes his head and chases after the child until the child is seen with his/her parents, who are homeless. Knowing the pain of losing his home all to well, he takes his coin purse back and stops a food stand from closing to buy them food to last them atleast a week. Although this left him with only a few coins left, he takes pride knowing that he has helped those unfortunate enough to have lost their homes just as he has lost his own.
You're heading back to the city through the woods when you hear whining coming from nearby. Upon further investigastion you come across a grey-coloured wolf that appears to have its leg caught in a bear trap. Around it is 3 smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help the'll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population. : Fijor, with much regret, frees the mother and bandages the wounds with his ragged hood. Passing up food and furs for money isn't something fijor enjoys doing, nor does he like endangering the nearby farms, but he hates seeing suffering from all beings. He tames the mother and her pups and gives them to a farm owner to be trained and used as sheep dogs and a way to keep other wolves away. He then heads back onto the city to continue his business.
Picture will come soon. Must find one that matches Fijor Dragonmane's usual look and feel.
Hello popthebobly, and thank you very much for your interest in our server. Your application is off to a very nice start, and Brandis is coming together quite nicely. The only problem we have thus far in simply that what you have written for his biography does not meet out three paragraph minimum. We'd like to get to know Brandis a bit better so that we can make sure he fits well into our world. That said, we're looking forward to learning more about him as well.
Please let us know when you've updated your application, and thanks again for your cooperation.
Hello Destchion! Your application for Agaron is coming together nicely thus far, but there are a few things that need to be sorted out before he can be accepted.
To start, since this is a secondary character of yours and you have already been whitelisted on our server, we ask that you move this application over to our enjin forums. We do this simply to keep the MC forums clean and uncluttered. We've provided a link to the appropriate section of our enjin forums to post your application below.
Another thing to note is that we also hold secondary characters to a somewhat different standard. That said, Aragron's backhistory is quite short, and could use a bit more fleshing out. Before you move your application over it may be wise to bulk it up with more details about him.
Lastly, because you have chosen to involve high-elven nobility in Agaron's past you will need to contact Will about the family that he served. We have a great deal of lore currently being fleshed out for each and every noble family, so the details and name are quite important. Will's IGN is P_Oxide or ToxicPurpose on skype.
Thanks very much for your continued interest in our server, and best of luck with the rest of the application process.
Hello Fawbertinio! This application was a wonderful read, you have a very pleasant writing style and great storytelling ability. We loved the scene with the boar. Artosi seems like a well balanced character who will add a lot to our world, and we're looking forward to seeing both him and you on-server soon. Welcome to Saphriel!
I have changed my application and would like for you to take a look at it please.

My parents were killed at a battle when I was but a few moons old. A civil war that destroyed my home country of Valencia. My father fought as diligently as possible but he didn't make it. My mother tried to help was quickly killed trying to protect me.
After the civil war had disbanded a court physician was passing through Valencia healing the wounded and noticed me. After taking in interest me he raised me but I knew that it wasn't for me. I did learn a lot about healing but really didn't satisfy me. I soon left his side to journey to new lands and learn new things.
I journeyed to a farmer who let me work as a harvest hand. After months of working sprightly he saw something in me and taught me the farming and general business. I ran one of his distant farms and learned hands on. After the farmer died his son took over and I didn't feel that welcome. I wandered a little more and found the Realm of Saphriel. Who knows what journey waits ahead of me?

Hello again Eldron8688, and thanks very much for your continued interest in our server. Nearly everything that you've written is fine and settled, with just one small detail that is a problem.
As you've listed Eldredge as a dark-elf he cannot have brown hair in compliance with our lore. Dark-elves almost always have white or silver hair, and sometime rarely have black hair. It is possible that he could dye his hair, but if that is the case please state so directly in your application. We've provided a link to our lore on dark-elven physiology below for your ease of reference on the matter. You can find the section about dark-elves underneath the section about high-elves.

My parents were the king and queen of Valencia and were killed at the battle of Gliverstien when I was but a few moons old. A civil war that destroyed my home country of Valencia. My father fought as diligently as possible against the rebels but he didn't make it. My mother was taken as a hostage and I believe her to be dead. My parents were loving and kind people and a bad government killed them both.
After the rebels won the war I left Valencia at the age of 6 and met a court physician by the name of Arisel. He was from the kingdom of Greris healing the wounded, and soon noticed me walking about. He followed and watched for days as I tried to help the wounded myself. Unbelievably he offered me a job at being his field medic. I learned almost everything from basic healing to intense surgery. Arisel died when I was 16 and I became court physician for King Beroldus. I worked for him for 12 years working on royals and noblemen. King Beroldus died when I was 28 and his son Hamon did not like me because I was a dark elf, and soon I was banished from Greris and never returned. But still my journeys kept going until I met a farmer by the name of Raimond.
Raimond let me work as a harvest hand. After months of working sprightly he saw something in me and taught me the farming and general business. I ran one of his distant farms and learned hands on when I was 32. After the farmer's pockets went dry I left. I wandered for many moons thinking of what might happen next. I kept going on and on for days and finally stumbled across a place called Saphriel and right then at that moment I knew I was where I belonged.

First off I chase the girl for a moment or two and then stop. I carefully count how much silver he stole and throw it off as nothing. After a few days or so I noticed he was there again at the markets. I walk towards here and say stealing is wrong and walk her over to my cart. I offer her a ride home and she says yes. On our way there I give him a firm taking to and tell him if she wanted to work for me and learn and become a prodigy is trade and business.

Roleplaying (RP) is when you pretend to be another person or entity and make decisions based on that character's background, experiences, skills, weaknesses, etc.
Azriel is a woman of pale skin and black hair. Her pale skin comes from the lack of sunlight exposure. Her appearance is dreadful and often scares travelers simply with a gaze. Her eyes are green and contrast with her dark hair. She is average in stature, standing at 5' 5" and often wears a brown or black cloak with brown-colored or silver-colored trimming. Azriel does not wear the typical attire one would expect from alchemy-obsessed witch. She tries to dress modestly when in public, so as to not attract attention. She, by no means, is a master of disguise - but she certainly does try to dress in a way that averts attention. She is not a fan of hoods, so doesn't wear them - instead, she's more likely to be seen in some sort of headband to hold back her large black mane.
-Character personality and traits (At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.):
Azriel is a woman of few words and prefers to live alone. In this way, she is a typical witch and tinkerer of magical items. She lives mostly inside her own head, as a victim of multiple personalities disorder. She speaks and communicates with multiple personalities living in her own head, some more devious than others but all living in parallel without issue.
Azriel has an obsession with collecting magical items to discover their potential. She is keen on discovering new abilities all the time, and makes it her goal to collect any magical item she sees, by any means necessary, and to unlock the powers within those objects. She often tinkers with magical items in order to extract the magic from within, to add to her own abilities. Azriel has become obsessed with collecting what remains of the elemental artifacts and becomes extremely defensive of what artifacts she is able to recover.
Her understanding of magic is more than the average person, but less than what one would consider a "master". She has a lot to learn, still, but hopes to learn what is necessary over time through collecting artifacts and unlocking the secrets of a past civilization.
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
Azriel was born to two parents of high economic class, George and Hilga. She was raised to be a proper lady, learning the proper courtesies and manners expected from a woman. During her childhood, she struggled to make friends and often played with her own toys - alone. She did not attend any sort of academy or have any sort of formal education, but instead studied with her father to learn how to write and read at a masterful level.
As Azriel grew older, nearing her teenage years, she began discovering magical abilities within herself. When she was nineteen years of age she discovered, while visiting the house of a Lord, her ability to channel fire energy through an artifact which the Lord had on display at his home. She did not do this intentionally, and even tried to stop it - alas, she was unable to do so and lost control of the artifact. Ultimately, the artifact set ablaze the Lord's home and forced Azriel to flee, never to see her parents again. The Lord threatened to have Azriel hanged if she was ever caught, and so Azriel went into hiding for self-preservation.
Azriel fashioned a small hut in the forest, made from the trees themselves and recessed into the dirt. She kept this as her home, travelling into the nearby city only during the darkest of nights and on the rarest occasion. In her lonesome, she developed an obsession to feel the energy of an artifact once more, and thus made it her life-long goal to collect an array of powerful artifacts and to discover where her true magical potential lies.
Over time, her affinity for fire magic dissipated and Azriel became increasingly frustrated at the loss of her abilities. Nothing she did seemed to be working, or make any progress toward increasing her skills in magic. Nevertheless, she continued practicing and at the age of twenty-four, Azriel discovered an affinity for darkness. While she initially thought her talents lie in fire elemental magic, she discovered that she possessed the ability to bend shadows. Wielding a small trinket of darkness, an silver-seated onyx pendant she recovered from a nearby ruin, she began manipulating her own shadow and creating illusions in her small hut. Little did she know, however, that this would wear on her sanity as she replaced human interaction with various 'characters' she created in her imagination.
Currently, Azriel lives in the same hut she's lived in for years. She lives in a forest and avoids contact with society whenever possible. She mainly dedicates her time to following up on leads and rumors on the locations of artifacts, particularly dark artifacts. She does not expose her abilities in public and keeps mostly to herself. With great conviction, she has avoided exposing herself as a user of shadow magic for years but many locals know her as "The Mysterious One".

You’re walking around the markets at around noon. There’s a lot of people around you, still gathering their items as they prepare to shut down their many stands. Suddenly you feel a gentle lifting of your coin purse as a child graces you and soon after they take off sprinting. You have been robbed.
Azriel looks directly at the man sprinting away, honoring their escape without a chase. She touches her hip, where her coinpurse once hung. She looks around, hoping to see a guard or other witness - nothing. Without a hope for catching the thief, she continues back to her home in the forest without raising a scene. Azriel makes note of the man's appearance as she walks away, keeping it in mental record for the next time she encounters the thief.
You’re heading back to the city through the woods when you hear a whining coming from nearby. Upon further investigation you come across a grey-coloured wolf that appears to have its leg caught in a bear trap. Around it is three smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help, they’ll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population.
Azriel examines the young wolf pups and then the trapped mother. She bends down, inviting the young pups to approach. As the first one approaches, she sweeps it up into her robe and slices its throat with a small utility knife. She carries the young pup back to her hut and skins it, then drains the blood from the remaining carcass. She uses the blood and bits in her various experiments, and uses the wolf pelt to fashion a new coin purse since her old one was stolen.

-Magic Biography; Explain the reason you want your character to have magic through backstory application: (At least three extremely well-crafted paragraphs. You must describe to us why your character can use magic, what drives him to further his ability, how he learned that he could use magic, and what benefits magic brings to this character, what type of magic they’ll strive to use, etc. This is not a middle school paper! I will not accept applications that say “My character got my magic from x, and he wants to use it because it’ll help him! Also for RP!")
I want my character to possess magical abilities because I think it couples well with her slow descent into insanity. She balances her insanity and dark powers. As she becomes stronger in the ways of darkness and using dark magic, she becomes more mentally unstable. I do not intend on roleplaying this character as outright-insane by any means. Instead, I want to roleplay a gradual loss of sanity as her dark powers become stronger.
I chose darkness because I believe it holds true to my character's soul. She never has been the type to interact with others or want to help others - so Holy magic just doesn't make sense for her. Fire magic was a type of magic she used once - but only once when she had no control over what she was doing. Her heart has always been dark (hence what she would do to the wolf cub).
If you reference my character's back story, magic is a vital part of why she left home. She was once the daughter of a noble family but abandoned that lifestyle when magic abilities caused her to accidentally burn down the home of another noble family. Azriel's current goal is self-interest and gaining magical abilities for her own devious purposes in the short-term. She wants to contribute to others understanding magic long-term, but that'll likely never happen as she'll go insane before that point.
-Please give an example in your own words describing the limitations placed upon those who use magic (This should be at least one well-crafted paragraph):
Magic, in the Realm of Saphriel, is a phenomenon understood by few. There are heavy restrictions on magic based simply on understanding of how it is used. All magic falls into the categories: Holy, Elemental, Dark, Telekinetic, Alteration, Illusions/Conjuring. The power of the energy being channeled through an artifact is based on both the artifact's strength and the mental conviction of the caster. There are many rules associated with magic use, most importantly being that using magic is physically and mentally draining. While there are no actual spells, there is a lot of freedom with doing magical things within reason as long as such things are the results of long periods of training both mentally and physically, coupled with possessing a powerful enough artifact.
-Please give a description of the magic system in your own words:
There are various categories of magic with their own strengths and weaknesses which can be pushed through artifacts of those types. For example, if you have a dark artifact of appropriate strength and you have the training to know how to use it, you could in theory create illusions to trick those around you. Abilities are taxing on ones body and mind, thus placing limitations of the amount of magic a person can use in a short period of time. Further, artifacts themselves have limitations on how much energy can pass through them at any given time - breaking such limits results in violent effects against the caster including indefinite obliteration.
-You are given a weak trinket of darkness, you haven't had much practice with magic yet, but you will try your best. Describe some things you could/would do with this trinket:
1. Bend a regular shadow into different shapes and sizes, with significant effort.
2. Possibly extract the soul from a small animal such as a squirrel or fox, to be used in necromancy and summoning the undead.
3. Make a small room darker by suppressing lights, but not fully extinguish anything since it's a weak trinket.
You start with one aspect only. You gain the rest of them (How ever many your race may have) of your own choice through further RP, however you will not be able to attain them immediately.
A response to your apparent issues with my application, which I don't see as issues.
Mages do not absorb magical energy from trinkets or artifacts to increase their magical power. Rather, they practice and train channeling their own magical energy through them much like building muscle by hitting the gym. If a mage were to attempt dismantling a trinket to absorb something from it they would simply be left with a broken trinket and disappointment.
Not much is known about magic, so why would Azriel know how magic works? She, like many, is trying to figure out how it works by tinkering and toying with whatever she can lay her hands on. I'm not mixing OOC knowledge into what my character knows about magic and the dark arts.
The other stuff has been edited. I'm not sure what your issue is with my past two applications - i've seen a lot worse applications make it through.
-Do you have any prior roleplay-related experience, if so could you give an example?:
I do have roleplaying experience in minecraft but this is my first fantasy roleplay. I used to play WoW if that'll effect anything and a game called Champions: Online. Champions was key to roleplay. I've played on a superhero server and recently an island castaway / pirate server in to give some minecraft examples. And if you go to any creative minecraft server people are bound too make roleplays. They are basically like Live Action Roleplays but in game, but I participated in some none-the-less.
-Define Power-gaming in your own words:
When you force players to do actions they don't want or have to do as making yourself op as possible as a one shot kill guy or making people join your guild and if they decline you threaten them.
-Define Meta-gaming in your own words:
Meta-gaming is knowing something your character would not know. As In a battle someone is about to secretly cast a spell and he is not supposed to know and all of a sudden he blocks it with no problem. Otherwise none as a Win-rp.
-Define Role-Playing in your own words:
Roleplay is something you do to go into the mind of a character you create and you chose his or her choices and live their life giving you opportunities that real life couldn't give you.

Will chases after the child about to catch it. He keeps running but suddenly loses her as she walks into an alley. He thinks about going and telling the guards but decides not to thinking how much she could need it more.
You’re heading back to the city through the woods when you hear a whining coming from nearby.

Around it is three smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help, they’ll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population.
Will frees the wolf and feeds it some of the little mutton he has. He than goes to bring the
puppies to the mother. He just hopes she doesn't bite.

First off I will speak of your definitions for both Powergaming and metagaming. Both definitions as described by you, aren't all that true in a RP server and seem fairly lackluster in detail. Next off I will speak of your character description. You seem to lack much detail in the description, and haven't mentioned some features that greatly assist those you plan to RP with, such as eye colour, weight, etc. Your biography too also needs great work in it as you have slightly over a few sentences for a biography with very little detail of the past life which we are told little of. Finally I will speak of your RP responses. The whole towns reaction to a small child, stealing your coin purse seems quite extreme, especially the thought of a 6 year old being in a city jail for taking a few silver.
So after telling you of everything here, I hope you will soon re-write your application and we will happily review it again.
I have changed my application again and would like for you to take a look at it please.

-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
My parents were the king and queen of Valencia and were killed at the battle of Gliverstien when I was but a few moons old. A civil war that destroyed my home country of Valencia. My father fought as diligently as possible against the rebels but he didn't make it. My mother was taken as a hostage and I believe her to be dead. My parents were loving and kind people and a bad government killed them both.
After the rebels won the war I left Valencia at the age of 6 and met a court physician by the name of Arisel. He was from the kingdom of Greris healing the wounded, and soon noticed me walking about. He followed and watched for days as I tried to help the wounded myself. Unbelievably he offered me a job at being his field medic. I learned almost everything from basic healing to intense surgery. Arisel died when I was 16 and I became court physician for King Beroldus. I worked for him for 12 years working on royals and noblemen. King Beroldus died when I was 28 and his son Hamon did not like me because I was a dark elf, and soon I was banished from Greris and never returned. But still my journeys kept going until I met a farmer by the name of Raimond.
Raimond let me work as a harvest hand. After months of working sprightly he saw something in me and taught me the farming and general business. I ran one of his distant farms and learned hands on when I was 32. After the farmer's pockets went dry I left. I wandered for many moons thinking of what might happen next. I kept going on and on for days and finally stumbled across a place called Saphriel and right then at that moment I knew I was where I belonged.
-Please give us a short RP response to these two scenarios. (At least one paragraph for each):
You’re walking around the markets at around noon. There’s a lot of people around you, still gathering their items as they prepare to shut down their many stands. Suddenly you feel a gentle lifting of your coin purse as a child graces you and soon after they take off sprinting. You have been robbed.
First off I chase the girl for a moment or two and then stop. I carefully count how much silver he stole and throw it off as nothing. After a few days or so I noticed he was there again at the markets. I walk towards here and say stealing is wrong and walk her over to my cart. I offer her a ride home and she says yes. On our way there I give him a firm taking to and tell him if she wanted to work for me and learn and become a prodigy is trade and business.
You’re heading back to the city through the woods when you hear a whining coming from nearby. Upon further investigation you come across a grey-coloured wolf that appears to have its leg caught in a bear trap. Around it is three smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help, they’ll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population.
I kneel down and stop the mothers suffering and skin her pelt to sell. I keep her puppies and raise them until they are big enough to get some hefty coin for their pelts. I keep the money and split some with the hunter who caught the mother, because after all he did catch her.
Reguardless as to whether or not someone knows about how something works if it is stated that it doesn't it's best to change it as of now your character would be just going around and destroying trinkets when not actually getting any strong people know that that's how magic works to and extent saying she removes the magic to use it for herself makes no sense in this setting. Change this and you're fine.
Other applications may have been worse than yours but you are trying to do something that does not fit within our server.
I'd like you to first improve your description of your character give some details, did he get any scars from the bullies in the orphanage or does he have freckles? Paint a picture with words. With that in your biography you referred to worshiping God, Here we have several gods could you elaborate on what god you're worshipping. Do that and try to improve on your spelling and sentence structure and we are good.

-Define Power-gaming in your own words:
Powergaming (PG) is any act which is overpowered to other players or any roleplay forced onto another player with no chance to respond (where they would logically could have a response or reaction). For example, "/me throws a trash can at John and makes him die" would be PG.

Metagaming (MG) is any act which mixes OOC information with IC events. For example, finding out someone's location on Skype and then going to rob/kill them.
-Define Role-Playing in your own words:
Roleplaying (RP) is when you pretend to be another person or entity and make decisions based on that character's background, experiences, skills, weaknesses, etc.
Azriel is a woman of pale skin and black hair. Her pale skin comes from the lack of sunlight exposure. Her appearance is dreadful and often scares travelers simply with a gaze. Her eyes are green and contrast with her dark hair. She is average in stature, standing at 5' 5" and often wears a brown or black cloak with brown-colored or silver-colored trimming. Azriel does not wear the typical attire one would expect from alchemy-obsessed witch. She tries to dress modestly when in public, so as to not attract attention. She, by no means, is a master of disguise - but she certainly does try to dress in a way that averts attention. She is not a fan of hoods, so doesn't wear them - instead, she's more likely to be seen in some sort of headband to hold back her large black mane.
-Character personality and traits (At least one to two paragraphs describing their personality traits and/or quirks.):
Azriel is a woman of few words and prefers to live alone. In this way, she is a typical witch and tinkerer of magical items. She lives mostly inside her own head, as a victim of multiple personalities disorder. She speaks and communicates with multiple personalities living in her own head, some more devious than others but all living in parallel without issue.
Azriel has an obsession with collecting magical items to discover their potential. She is keen on discovering new abilities all the time, and makes it her goal to collect any magical item she sees, by any means necessary, and to unlock the powers within those objects. She often tinkers with magical items in order to learn the secrets they've got locked away - often resulting in destruction of artifacts she discovers, since she has never had any formal training in magic. Azriel has become obsessed with collecting what remains of the elemental artifacts and becomes extremely defensive of what artifacts she is able to recover.
Her understanding of magic is more than the average person, but less than what one would consider a "master". She has a lot to learn, still, but hopes to learn what is necessary over time through collecting artifacts and unlocking the secrets of a past civilization.
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
Azriel was born to two parents of high economic class, George and Hilga. She was raised to be a proper lady, learning the proper courtesies and manners expected from a woman. During her childhood, she struggled to make friends and often played with her own toys - alone. She did not attend any sort of academy or have any sort of formal education, but instead studied with her father to learn how to write and read at a masterful level.
As Azriel grew older, nearing her teenage years, she began discovering magical abilities within herself. When she was nineteen years of age she discovered, while visiting the house of a Lord, her ability to channel fire energy through an artifact which the Lord had on display at his home. She did not do this intentionally, and even tried to stop it - alas, she was unable to do so and lost control of the artifact. Ultimately, the artifact set ablaze the Lord's home and forced Azriel to flee, never to see her parents again. The Lord threatened to have Azriel hanged if she was ever caught, and so Azriel went into hiding for self-preservation.
Azriel fashioned a small hut in the forest, made from the trees themselves and recessed into the dirt. She kept this as her home, travelling into the nearby city only during the darkest of nights and on the rarest occasion. In her lonesome, she developed an obsession to feel the energy of an artifact once more, and thus made it her life-long goal to collect an array of powerful artifacts and to discover where her true magical potential lies.
Over time, her affinity for fire magic dissipated and Azriel became increasingly frustrated at the loss of her abilities. Nothing she did seemed to be working, or make any progress toward increasing her skills in magic. Nevertheless, she continued practicing and at the age of twenty-four, Azriel discovered an affinity for darkness. While she initially thought her talents lie in fire elemental magic, she discovered that she possessed the ability to bend shadows. Wielding a small trinket of darkness, an silver-seated onyx pendant she recovered from a nearby ruin, she began manipulating her own shadow and creating illusions in her small hut. Little did she know, however, that this would wear on her sanity as she replaced human interaction with various 'characters' she created in her imagination.
Currently, Azriel lives in the same hut she's lived in for years. She lives in a forest and avoids contact with society whenever possible. She mainly dedicates her time to following up on leads and rumors on the locations of artifacts, particularly dark artifacts. She does not expose her abilities in public and keeps mostly to herself. With great conviction, she has avoided exposing herself as a user of shadow magic for years but many locals know her as "The Mysterious One".

Azriel looks directly at the man sprinting away, honoring their escape without a chase. She touches her hip, where her coinpurse once hung. She looks around, hoping to see a guard or other witness - nothing. Without a hope for catching the thief, she continues back to her home in the forest without raising a scene. Azriel makes note of the man's appearance as she walks away, keeping it in mental record for the next time she encounters the thief.
You’re heading back to the city through the woods when you hear a whining coming from nearby. Upon further investigation you come across a grey-coloured wolf that appears to have its leg caught in a bear trap. Around it is three smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help, they’ll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population.
Azriel examines the young wolf pups and then the trapped mother. She bends down, inviting the young pups to approach. As the first one approaches, she sweeps it up into her robe and slices its throat with a small utility knife. She carries the young pup back to her hut and skins it, then drains the blood from the remaining carcass. She uses the blood and bits in her various experiments, and uses the wolf pelt to fashion a new coin purse since her old one was stolen.

Whatever i'll just change it even though it's metagaming to influence my character's IC knowledge of magic using some OOC forum post. My character has never had a formal teacher, and therefore knows nothing about how anything works in-character. I know out of character that my character wouldn't be getting any stronger, but in-character tinkering and trying different things is part of a process of experimentation. To expect every character to be perfect is heresy.

-Character name:
Agaron Snow
-Character race:
(High) Elf
-Character age:
35
-Character Occupation
No specific occupation
-Character description
Agaron is a 7'2” high elf with blonde hair. His eyes are a light blue and his face is pretty noble looking. The often wears his armor (save the helm that obscures his vision) and carries around a two handed sword.
-Character personality and traits
Agaron is good in almost every sense of the word. The is a bit of a white knight as in he’ll often aid those in need but the is also a wise man who understands when certain occasions call for a softer hand and a subtler approach.
-Character biography (At least three paragraphs describing your character's history and experiences):
(Not as detailed as I would have liked, but I wanted to be quick and to the point, without revealing too much about the character that could be learned in roleplay.)
Agaron was ward of a kind nobleman who treated him like the did his own son Gail. Growing up he was taught the way of the sword by the estate’s guard captain on order of the lord, who himself favored the large blade approach (hense Agaron’s use of them).
But on top of his combat training the was taught many other things as well. Which include but are not limited to... Gentlemanly things such as playing the lute, penmanship, cartography, horse riding etc. But on top of that the was also taught more practical things like hunting, fishing, camp making and the basics of medicine.
Upon coming of age Agaron set off to make his own name. Which so far hasn’t turned out too well, but Agaron is hopeful. And now he’s arrived in Barkemstead. What adventures await him in the near future hmm?

Agaron would chase the child down, his being older and fit allowing him to catch the child easily. The would then reprimand the child for stealing for “Crime is wrong”. But seeing the child the would allow the child to keep the money and maybe even buy him a meal.

Agaron would look upon the injured wolf with sorrow. He would then shake his head and clear his mind before prying the bear trap open and rushing the wolf and her pups home. He would patch the mother up as well as the could before going and fetching a doctor to save the dog’s life and let the mother and pups live with him afterward.

Character
Name: Fijor Dragonmane
Age: 21
Race: Human
Occupation: Mystic Knight
Character Info
Description: Fijor is a tall 6'10" Human man that roams the land and offers help whenever needed. He appears brutish yet he has knowledge of arcane arts, creatures of the night, and even blacksmithing. Though he has no set home, he doestend to like companions even though he usually travels alone. Tends to use composite armor being a mix of light and heavy armor to allow him felability along with stability. His armor is usually dyed in the following fashion: Polished White Plate mail, Dark blue cloth armor under the plate mail, and a unchanged rugged hood. Often uses a battleaxe that isn't colored in any way other then the blood of monsters staining it. This usually scares off bandits as they think its human blood.
Personality: Fijor, although with the look of a kind of holy executioner, doesn't enjoy fighting though will not hesitate to defend himself against monsters, human combatants, or even political officials if need be. He is more of a kind hearted supporting being that would rather craft a village worth of armors and weapons and heal the sick rather then going out to a dangerous dungeon on his own. He is, though, very prideful and will dive head first into a pit of skeletons and scatter them all if his pride as a warrior is called into question. This makes him very fool hearted and easily tricked into dangerous situations.
Biography: Fijor was born in the north, in a fridged forest to his parents, Magus and Cleric Vinessa Destra and Warrior Smith Dosmin Dragonmane. Growing up was tough as the fridges wastes he lived in was unrelenting, but he managed and gained a natural resistence to the cold. He learned basic fire spells from his mother to aid his surviva while his father taught him about ores, mining, and smithing. Over time, fijor noticed that he was extremely lucky in mining operations lead by his father as he would find massive veins of metal ores and even clusters of gem stones. His luck allowed his family to move to a city where he was even more lucky at finding jobs from inn keepers and even some guards to clear out nearby mine shafts and goblin dens. At the age of 15, he was accepted to the city guard as an apprentice to a noble knight and learned what he could. Soon though, the city was beset opon by creatures of the night, beings that no one in the city known exsisted. In 3 days the city fell, leaving fijo and his parents as the soul survivors as they hid in the church as the creatures seemed to not bother with it. After this, they left the ruined city, leaving scavagables alone as they dont want to risk finding some lurking creatures. They became nomads and begain to learn the trade. When fijor hit the age of 20, he left the care of his parents with some supplies, his usual composite armor, and an axe which he extended and enlarged to be used as a weapon and survival tool. He now acts as a nomad scholar, learning more about magics, healing arts, and smithing while he defends himself from raiders and bandits as well as monsters, honing his combat skills.
You're walking around the markets at around noon. There are a lot of people around you, still gathering their items as they prepare to shut down their many stands. Suddenly you feel a gentile lifting of your coin purse as a child graces you and soon after they take off sprinting. You have been robbed. : Fijor shakes his head and chases after the child until the child is seen with his/her parents, who are homeless. Knowing the pain of losing his home all to well, he takes his coin purse back and stops a food stand from closing to buy them food to last them atleast a week. Although this left him with only a few coins left, he takes pride knowing that he has helped those unfortunate enough to have lost their homes just as he has lost his own.
You're heading back to the city through the woods when you hear whining coming from nearby. Upon further investigastion you come across a grey-coloured wolf that appears to have its leg caught in a bear trap. Around it is 3 smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help the'll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population. : Fijor, with much regret, frees the mother and bandages the wounds with his ragged hood. Passing up food and furs for money isn't something fijor enjoys doing, nor does he like endangering the nearby farms, but he hates seeing suffering from all beings. He tames the mother and her pups and gives them to a farm owner to be trained and used as sheep dogs and a way to keep other wolves away. He then heads back onto the city to continue his business.
Picture will come soon. Must find one that matches Fijor Dragonmane's usual look and feel.

Hello popthebobly, and thank you very much for your interest in our server. Your application is off to a very nice start, and Brandis is coming together quite nicely. The only problem we have thus far in simply that what you have written for his biography does not meet out three paragraph minimum. We'd like to get to know Brandis a bit better so that we can make sure he fits well into our world. That said, we're looking forward to learning more about him as well.
Please let us know when you've updated your application, and thanks again for your cooperation.

Hello Destchion! Your application for Agaron is coming together nicely thus far, but there are a few things that need to be sorted out before he can be accepted.
To start, since this is a secondary character of yours and you have already been whitelisted on our server, we ask that you move this application over to our enjin forums. We do this simply to keep the MC forums clean and uncluttered. We've provided a link to the appropriate section of our enjin forums to post your application below.
http://therealmofsaphriel.enjin.com/forum/m/32802907/viewforum/6137017
Another thing to note is that we also hold secondary characters to a somewhat different standard. That said, Aragron's backhistory is quite short, and could use a bit more fleshing out. Before you move your application over it may be wise to bulk it up with more details about him.
Lastly, because you have chosen to involve high-elven nobility in Agaron's past you will need to contact Will about the family that he served. We have a great deal of lore currently being fleshed out for each and every noble family, so the details and name are quite important. Will's IGN is P_Oxide or ToxicPurpose on skype.
Thanks very much for your continued interest in our server, and best of luck with the rest of the application process.

Hello Fawbertinio! This application was a wonderful read, you have a very pleasant writing style and great storytelling ability. We loved the scene with the boar.

Hi, I'll be reviewing your app today.
I'm sorry to say that your app is...
Pending.
Your powergaming and metagaming definitions are completely wrong, I would suggest reading the rules again.
You cannot start off with knowledge of the 'arcane arts' and not have a magic app.
I would ask that you give us a more detailed backstory. Our suggestion is three paragraphs. Explain to us why he is the way he is.

The changes you have made have been deemed acceptable. We're looking forward to seeing you on server soon! Welcome to Saphriel!

After the civil war had disbanded a court physician was passing through Valencia healing the wounded and noticed me. After taking in interest me he raised me but I knew that it wasn't for me. I did learn a lot about healing but really didn't satisfy me. I soon left his side to journey to new lands and learn new things.
I journeyed to a farmer who let me work as a harvest hand. After months of working sprightly he saw something in me and taught me the farming and general business. I ran one of his distant farms and learned hands on. After the farmer died his son took over and I didn't feel that welcome. I wandered a little more and found the Realm of Saphriel.

Hello again Eldron8688, and thanks very much for your continued interest in our server. Nearly everything that you've written is fine and settled, with just one small detail that is a problem.
As you've listed Eldredge as a dark-elf he cannot have brown hair in compliance with our lore. Dark-elves almost always have white or silver hair, and sometime rarely have black hair. It is possible that he could dye his hair, but if that is the case please state so directly in your application. We've provided a link to our lore on dark-elven physiology below for your ease of reference on the matter. You can find the section about dark-elves underneath the section about high-elves.

My parents were the king and queen of Valencia and were killed at the battle of Gliverstien when I was but a few moons old. A civil war that destroyed my home country of Valencia. My father fought as diligently as possible against the rebels but he didn't make it. My mother was taken as a hostage and I believe her to be dead. My parents were loving and kind people and a bad government killed them both.
After the rebels won the war I left Valencia at the age of 6 and met a court physician by the name of Arisel. He was from the kingdom of Greris healing the wounded, and soon noticed me walking about. He followed and watched for days as I tried to help the wounded myself. Unbelievably he offered me a job at being his field medic. I learned almost everything from basic healing to intense surgery. Arisel died when I was 16 and I became court physician for King Beroldus. I worked for him for 12 years working on royals and noblemen. King Beroldus died when I was 28 and his son Hamon did not like me because I was a dark elf, and soon I was banished from Greris and never returned. But still my journeys kept going until I met a farmer by the name of Raimond.
Raimond let me work as a harvest hand. After months of working sprightly he saw something in me and taught me the farming and general business. I ran one of his distant farms and learned hands on when I was 32. After the farmer's pockets went dry I left. I wandered for many moons thinking of what might happen next. I kept going on and on for days and finally stumbled across a place called Saphriel and right then at that moment I knew I was where I belonged.

First off I chase the girl for a moment or two and then stop. I carefully count how much silver he stole and throw it off as nothing. After a few days or so I noticed he was there again at the markets. I walk towards here and say stealing is wrong and walk her over to my cart. I offer her a ride home and she says yes. On our way there I give him a firm taking to and tell him if she wanted to work for me and learn and become a prodigy is trade and business.

A response to your apparent issues with my application, which I don't see as issues.
Mages do not absorb magical energy from trinkets or artifacts to increase their magical power. Rather, they practice and train channeling their own magical energy through them much like building muscle by hitting the gym. If a mage were to attempt dismantling a trinket to absorb something from it they would simply be left with a broken trinket and disappointment.
Not much is known about magic, so why would Azriel know how magic works? She, like many, is trying to figure out how it works by tinkering and toying with whatever she can lay her hands on. I'm not mixing OOC knowledge into what my character knows about magic and the dark arts.
The other stuff has been edited. I'm not sure what your issue is with my past two applications - i've seen a lot worse applications make it through.

I do have roleplaying experience in minecraft but this is my first fantasy roleplay. I used to play WoW if that'll effect anything and a game called Champions: Online. Champions was key to roleplay. I've played on a superhero server and recently an island castaway / pirate server in to give some minecraft examples.

First off I will speak of your definitions for both Powergaming and metagaming. Both definitions as described by you, aren't all that true in a RP server and seem fairly lackluster in detail. Next off I will speak of your character description. You seem to lack much detail in the description, and haven't mentioned some features that greatly assist those you plan to RP with, such as eye colour, weight, etc. Your biography too also needs great work in it as you have slightly over a few sentences for a biography with very little detail of the past life which we are told little of. Finally I will speak of your RP responses. The whole towns reaction to a small child, stealing your coin purse seems quite extreme, especially the thought of a 6 year old being in a city jail for taking a few silver.
So after telling you of everything here, I hope you will soon re-write your application and we will happily review it again.

Arisel died when I was 16 and I became court physician for King Beroldus. I worked for him for 12 years working on royals and noblemen. King Beroldus died when I was 28 and his son Hamon did not like me because I was a dark elf, and soon I was banished from Greris and never returned. But still my journeys kept going until I met a farmer by the name of Raimond.
Raimond let me work as a harvest hand. After months of working sprightly he saw something in me and taught me the farming and general business. I ran one of his distant farms and learned hands on when I was 32. After the farmer's pockets went dry I left. I wandered for many moons thinking of what might happen next. I kept going on and on for days and finally stumbled across a place called Saphriel and right then at that moment I knew I was where I belonged.
-Please give us a short RP response to these two scenarios. (At least one paragraph for each):
You’re walking around the markets at around noon. There’s a lot of people around you, still gathering their items as they prepare to shut down their many stands. Suddenly you feel a gentle lifting of your coin purse as a child graces you and soon after they take off sprinting. You have been robbed.
First off I chase the girl for a moment or two and then stop. I carefully count how much silver he stole and throw it off as nothing. After a few days or so I noticed he was there again at the markets. I walk towards here and say stealing is wrong and walk her over to my cart. I offer her a ride home and she says yes. On our way there I give him a firm taking to and tell him if she wanted to work for me and learn and become a prodigy is trade and business.
You’re heading back to the city through the woods when you hear a whining coming from nearby. Upon further investigation you come across a grey-coloured wolf that appears to have its leg caught in a bear trap. Around it is three smaller lumps of fur, obviously puppies belonging to the trapped mother. Without help, they’ll all die, but wolf skins are quite valuable too, not to mention that the nearby farms suffer quite a bit from the wolf population.
I kneel down and stop the mothers suffering and skin her pelt to sell. I keep her puppies and raise them until they are big enough to get some hefty coin for their pelts. I keep the money and split some with the hunter who caught the mother, because after all he did catch her.

Reguardless as to whether or not someone knows about how something works if it is stated that it doesn't it's best to change it as of now your character would be just going around and destroying trinkets when not actually getting any strong people know that that's how magic works to and extent saying she removes the magic to use it for herself makes no sense in this setting. Change this and you're fine.
Other applications may have been worse than yours but you are trying to do something that does not fit within our server.

I'd like you to first improve your description of your character give some details, did he get any scars from the bullies in the orphanage or does he have freckles? Paint a picture with words. With that in your biography you referred to worshiping God, Here we have several gods could you elaborate on what god you're worshipping. Do that and try to improve on your spelling and sentence structure and we are good.
Whatever i'll just change it even though it's metagaming to influence my character's IC knowledge of magic using some OOC forum post. My character has never had a formal teacher, and therefore knows nothing about how anything works in-character. I know out of character that my character wouldn't be getting any stronger, but in-character tinkering and trying different things is part of a process of experimentation. To expect every character to be perfect is heresy.

The changes you've made have been deemed acceptable. We're looking forward to seeing you on-server soon! Welcome to Saphriel!
