Sometime in the fall when I was 12 and my brother was 8 a small raiding party of undead came out of the woods and started to come towards the house. My mom and dad told us to run as far and fast as we could until we could find a safe place to hide wile they held back the undead.
......... That was the last time we saw either of our parents ...... ..
After a few hours of running we decided that we were hopelessly lost, and we should rest there for the night. While we were sleeping a band of rangers found us and asked us what we were doing out in the woods at night. So I told them about the attack and our parents, and they decided to invite us to join their band of rangers. Since we were lost and had nowhere to go we accepted their offer, and that is how I became a ranger.
.......... 4 years later ...........
One day our small band of rangers stopped for lunch at near the capital. The bandleader asked me if I had ever been in the capitol, I said no. So he decided to take my brother and me into the city. While in the city we stopped for lunch at a local inn. In the inn there were two mages talking about the rising number of undead roaming the islands, it was at that time when I decided to learn about magic, so I could become a mage and help rid the islands from undead. So my brother and me thanked the rangers for all their kindness, and made our way to the academy.

@BEATSMAN102: Well, I'm no whitelister... But I have somethings that just might get you declined/deferred. One, you cannot start out as a mage. In order to place a mage, one must attend the mage academy through roleplay. Two, expand your OOC answers. Three, try and get better grammar, punctuation, capitalization, etc. And finally, four... Your biography. "Not originate in/on settlements besides those listed in the Location Lore. You could start in the wilds, I suppose, but please do not make up new towns." This was in the OP. I wish you luck in joining The Anerian Chronicles.
Something extremely commonplace. For example, "My father was kidnapped and tortured by bandits. Now I am out for revenge."
That would be considered cliche.

Biography (Minimum 400 words. Cannot include loved ones being killed, kidnapped, tortured, or the like, unless you can do it in a non-cliche manner.):
(hope this is all unique and such for you guys have fun reading. It’s about time I got back to rp :D)
In a tavern you notice that there is a book lying on the ground. Clearly someone dropped it, glancing around you see no one else heading to pick up the book. You slowly get up out of your chair and move over to look at the thing lying on the ground. It’s titled “Severin Ignatius.” The name is unfamiliar and you take it back with you to the table you were sitting at. Looking at the front cover the book appears to be very worn. You lean back in your chair and decide to start flipping through some of the pages stopping to read a section here and there.
“Severin Ignatius”
Preface: My father gave this book to me for my 16th birthday saying that I should write about events in my life so that I will know what my past was like. Living as a Medori had taught him the value of history as each year it seems that we, the Medori, forget a little more about who we were as each day passes. This is supposed to help me find out who I am, and what I was… so my father says. Sometimes it just helps siting outside of my tent and just writing what I’ve done for the day.
“A journal about the life of a Medori” you think. “should be fairly interesting.” You flip past some pages of childhood. Seeing the words “Bodychanger” appear a multitude of times. Fliping several more pages you catch up to when he is 16 and writing about his daily life.
Chapter IV: Now being 16 my father expectations of me has risen. We are fairly close in comparison to my mother. We went out to the caves the other day. My father is showing me around the islands core saying that there are many valuables within; and that I should be able to use them to create something of my own. Bringing back a shiny rock called Iron Ore, he begins to tell me that I can change the shape of this with heat. He brings me to a sort of furnace and anvil that is in the center of our camp and begins heating the iron. Perplexed as he goes about his work he eventually is able to bend the iron into a multitude of shapes and creates a pick in a few hours showing me step by step.
“You need to learn this Severin” he says smiling. “You seem to have a talent in crafting from what I’ve seen from you so why not have that be a profession! We could start working together and have a father and son business for the rest of the Medori? No?”
I chuckled at the remark… “Sure dad, sure thing.”
He sighed, “you’re growing up too fast you know?”
Anyway… I’ve begun to realize I’m approaching 17 and I’m not really sure of what I want to do in life. I’ve been living on this island for all 17 years and I feel like there is so much world I’m missing out on being stuck on this island. In addition, what about our people’s past. We go about our days as we please, yet we don’t know how we came to be. Or where our myths come from. It’s annoying!
Flipping through some more pages where it seems that Severin seems to be rambling about how he is learning more about being a crafter yet his questions on the Medori continue to grow. Nothing really peaks your particular interest until you see a chapter labeled “Dimeor Day.”
Chapter 15: The first time I fully got to experience Dimeor Day… I was 19.
I made small trinkets with the Iron my father gave me several days ago. They were all slightly different and I handed several to other people who live in the same village. Simply, wandering around the event not particularly interested in participating with other people. Being a large hassle to speak with every person who you may or may not know. I sat down on a rock staring out into the endless amount of sky dotted with different islands when a quiet voice said “hello.” Deep in my thoughts I didn’t pay much attention to the stranger. The stranger sat down next to me and asked “What are you staring at?”
Still not looking over I responded “I just wonder sometimes what the world out there is like. This is one of many islands and there are so many questions on where we are, why we are here…” My voice trailed off. I turn and see an attractive young face and stare at her sky blue eyes before darting my eyes as to not stare at her.
She giggled and said “Happy Dimeor Day.” And held out a blue crystal.
I looked at the crystal as it reflected the starry sky, then back up at her eyes. “Beautiful…” She blushed quickly I start to say something “ah, I mean… thanks” I smiled back at her. “Happy Dimeor Day” I looked inside my pouch and found probably the best amulet I had and gave it to her. I smiled, “I made it myself”
“Thank you” she said simply not moving from the spot. “So, tell me what else is on your mind?” She smiles at me…
Chuckling to yourself you flip through the pages some more. Passing through more pages of talking about this girl and how he still is trying to find answers to questions… You decide to skip to the most up to date section when a man approaches you at your table.
“Excuse me sir, I believe that is my book”
“Ah… yes sorry… I didn’t know who this belonged to…”
“It’s fine” I replied. “How much did you read?” I chuckle.
“Ah, not much”
“I see I see… well I best be off, I need to situate myself and see about going to school to study some of Rando’s teachings. Thanks for keeping my book safe.”
“Ah… sure….”
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation):
Short term: Make a good amount of money to live comfortably
Longer term: Inspired by Rando, he wants to go to school and possibly become a priest. In addition he is passionate about finding out more about the Medori’s history.
Strengths (Both physical and personality):
He is very outgoing and is a good public speaker. He is analytical and good with his hands (crafting sense). He is also fairly quick on his feet.
Weaknesses (Both physical and personality. Not knowing how to do something that is outside of your class is not a weakness. IE not knowing how to use bows and magic, if you are a swordsman.):
He is short tempered when upset. He isn’t physically strong to effectively use weapons. He thus generally avoids physical violence.
Does your character have any connections to currently-existing characters or characters yet to be accepted? If so, which? (See “Character Linking Aid”. Please post a link to the topic.):
No.
In-Character-Responses (ICRs. For each scenario, write at least a paragraph describing entirely in-character how your character would respond to the situation.Your ICRs will be used to see how well you can RP. Please post them as if in IC chat. An example can be found after this form.)
Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armored men harassing a young girl.
Severin: “Oy what are you two doing?”
Man1: “None of your business, get outa here”
Severin: “Miss, are you okay?”
Girl: -Eyes are teary-
Man 2: “She isn’t talking to you now is she?”
Severin: “I see. And I’m sure if other people found out about this, they would be just as okay as she is?”
Man1: -snikers- “Yeah go ahead and try”
Severin: -winks- “Someone pretending to be all strong. I’ll return with some help from the guards”
Man2: “Buzz off” –goes to throw the girl to the ground infront of you and then turns to go leave-
Severin: -nods and goes to help the girl up-
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
Man: “There is this artifact in Bloodstone that I need you to get, I’ll pay well if you bring it back”
Severin: “Uh… I’m probably not fully qualified to go on my own… can I bring a party along?”
Man: “of course”
Severin: “How about tomorrow I’ll meet you in the tavern with a group to go for this artifact and we can discuss specifics. Sounds ideal”
Man: “Yeah… yeah it does, I’ll see you tomorrow then for this offer”
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Man: “Anyone have any spare food? Food?”
Severin: “Here take some bread and water” –hands the man the bread and water- “Try to see if you can get some work or something ya know?”
Man: “Thank you”
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Severin: “Yeah yeah. At least she didn’t act stupid when drunk”
Man: “Shut it Medori! You good for nothing!”
Severin: -nods- “Well not to make a scene I suggest that you leave” –chuckles—“You look like quite the fool infront of all these people”
Man: “I’ll show you a fool” –stumbles over-
Severin: -stands up and takes several steps back-
Man: “Scared are ye?”
Severin: -shrugs- “You’re not worth my time” –turns to head out-
Man: -stumbles over unable to reach severin-
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Severin: “Wow, that’s a beautiful necklace! Where did you get it?”
Woman: -clutches necklace in her hand- “It has been passed down from my family…”
Severin: “Ahh interesting… it looks very nice on you” –smiles-
Woman: “Thank you… The necklace you have yourself if fairly nice itself, how did you come by that blue crystal in the iron necklace?
Severin: -smiles- “Well I made the necklace myself… It has quite the history too it” –stares out into the sky-
Woman: “sounds interesting, perhaps a story you want to share over a dinner?”
Serverin: “That sounds lovely~ Perhaps tomorrow evening I can meet you here again?”
Woman: -nods and smiles- “Nice to meet you, I’m Rose”
Severin: “The pleasure is all mine Rose. I’m Severin”
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?
Not in particular, I hope there is a lot of lore on Medori to discover
Other notes:
Cant wait to start rping with you guys again.
Oh personal thing. I really hate the powergame done by villains who use “RUNS AWAY” and then run off not letting anyone respond. I will flip a desk and report that YOLO.
mimmyjambo- An excellent app! Your character felt very human in the bio, which I appreciate a great deal. Like a living breathing person, not just a knight in shining armor or evil old man with folded hands, planning to raise the dead and take over the world. I look forward to seeing you server-side and on our enjin forum (http://aneria.enjin.com/). Welcome to TAC and the Silver Gaming Community!
Darkfirex- Glad to have you back, man. I really like the way you wrote your bio, aswell.. Very interesting. Everyone in the staff chat is currently clapping at the creativity. Look forward to seeing you server-side!
Deferred:
Jade_Solo- There were a few problems with your app, but it was by no means bad for a first attempt. The main thing I find strange is the structure of your character and her story. It just doesn't seem to flow very well, and her reactions to her parents flat out abandoning her don't seem very human. The strengths and weaknesses don't make sense either. She's very daring, very bold, and will stand up for anyone.. But is also.. Shy, and has trust issues. Does that really make sense? The way your character injured her arm was kinda weak aswell.. It's something that can be recovered from, easily. I'd like to ask you to find a better explanation to why your character has injured her arm. If your bio is really the best piece of writing you can offer, that's fine. Just try and make it flow better. Also, Tiff, tell your friend that if she/he would like to apply, that they must make an MC forum account. For all we know, this could be your app.. Dun dun dun! But really, if it can be made so, make it so.
RiasRestall- A very well written app, but there were a few problems. One, you'll need staff permission to start out knowing about any 'dark' magics, or being a descendant of the Linyera dynasty, as I'm sure the LMs have written quite a bit of lore surrounding the family. Fix these, and you ought to be fine. If you can't get staff permission, then you'll just have to change things around in your app. Sorry friend. If I had to suggest something, perhaps just say Rias is from an old Noble family who raised her with Loyalist/Pro-Monarchy ideals. Regarding the Dark Magic, perhaps just say she knew her father practiced it, and leave it at that. Goodluck! (Also, if we can make "Rias_Restall" fit, we'll set that as your name. If not, you'll have to choose "Rias" or "Restall" or something of the sort.)
Denied:
BEATSMAN102- I'm sorry, but you have not been accepted into TAC. There were many reasons. Poor spelling and grammar, cliche backstory, bad strenghts/weaknesses. We wish you luck in looking for another server. Please do not post another app, pester any staff members about your application, or spam our forums or the MC forum page.
Thank you for taking a look at it, however i'm going to be giving up on this app. Two reasons.
1. I've lied in the app.
2. I couldn't get permission for the background. (I'm not wimping out because of that.) I honestly already have an Char on here already, so i'm just going to play that. Leave Rias background in the gutted.
I'd like this to be left as an example for any current members of TAC. Please, do not lie to use and bring in alts without permission.
Can you list a few of my spelling and grammar mistakes please?
For the cliche I asked what that meant and didn`t have time to change it.
Yeah the strengths and weaknesses were pretty bad, but that was the only thing I saw that was actually bad after my edits.
Please reconsider, or give alitle more detail on why I was denied
I wont spam or pester anyone, if this post is offensive, sorry.
"You must play as if u are that person, you cant just become invincible because you said so, or jump off a cliff and survive." "If I have experience with that kind of stuff yea I would probably get whatever he wants, if not I would politely say no" Those are only a few. The main things that bothered me was the odd grammar in a few parts, and the slang("u", "yea"). Anyway, cliche means we've seen it a thousand times before, it's been done, and was poorly written. His parents were killed.. They got picked up by a rogue group of merry men.. etc. (By the way, google is your friend) I don't mean to be offensive, I just didn't see potential for improving. Thus the deny.
I apologize, all verdicts are final. I'm sure you can find another RP server somewhere on the MC forums, and sincerely do wish you luck.
I guess i should stop using those slangs, I have been using them way to much its getting to be habit.
What did you ( I almost did it again ) mean when You said google is my friend?
Did you mean for finding another server?
Google would be a pretty easy way to find out what cliche meant. In the app, it said: "No cliche backstories, blah blah blah." or something along those lines. If you didn't know.. Well, you could've googled it. It may have turned the tide of your app. You could also use google to find another server, it's probably easier just to check here on the MC forums, though.

And what is the definition of cliche
I haven't read the entire app, but just from a quick skim, I'd re-check your grammar and spelling.
A whitelister should be with you soon.
*Not a whitelister*
I also learned what OOC meant, but still nedd to know what cliche is.
Is there anything else I missed?
That would be considered cliche.

Biography (Minimum 400 words. Cannot include loved ones being killed, kidnapped, tortured, or the like, unless you can do it in a non-cliche manner.):
(hope this is all unique and such for you guys have fun reading. It’s about time I got back to rp :D)
In a tavern you notice that there is a book lying on the ground. Clearly someone dropped it, glancing around you see no one else heading to pick up the book. You slowly get up out of your chair and move over to look at the thing lying on the ground. It’s titled “Severin Ignatius.” The name is unfamiliar and you take it back with you to the table you were sitting at. Looking at the front cover the book appears to be very worn. You lean back in your chair and decide to start flipping through some of the pages stopping to read a section here and there.
Preface: My father gave this book to me for my 16th birthday saying that I should write about events in my life so that I will know what my past was like. Living as a Medori had taught him the value of history as each year it seems that we, the Medori, forget a little more about who we were as each day passes. This is supposed to help me find out who I am, and what I was… so my father says. Sometimes it just helps siting outside of my tent and just writing what I’ve done for the day.
“A journal about the life of a Medori” you think. “should be fairly interesting.” You flip past some pages of childhood. Seeing the words “Bodychanger” appear a multitude of times. Fliping several more pages you catch up to when he is 16 and writing about his daily life.
Chapter IV: Now being 16 my father expectations of me has risen. We are fairly close in comparison to my mother. We went out to the caves the other day. My father is showing me around the islands core saying that there are many valuables within; and that I should be able to use them to create something of my own. Bringing back a shiny rock called Iron Ore, he begins to tell me that I can change the shape of this with heat. He brings me to a sort of furnace and anvil that is in the center of our camp and begins heating the iron. Perplexed as he goes about his work he eventually is able to bend the iron into a multitude of shapes and creates a pick in a few hours showing me step by step.
“You need to learn this Severin” he says smiling. “You seem to have a talent in crafting from what I’ve seen from you so why not have that be a profession! We could start working together and have a father and son business for the rest of the Medori? No?”
I chuckled at the remark… “Sure dad, sure thing.”
He sighed, “you’re growing up too fast you know?”
Anyway… I’ve begun to realize I’m approaching 17 and I’m not really sure of what I want to do in life. I’ve been living on this island for all 17 years and I feel like there is so much world I’m missing out on being stuck on this island. In addition, what about our people’s past. We go about our days as we please, yet we don’t know how we came to be. Or where our myths come from. It’s annoying!
Flipping through some more pages where it seems that Severin seems to be rambling about how he is learning more about being a crafter yet his questions on the Medori continue to grow. Nothing really peaks your particular interest until you see a chapter labeled “Dimeor Day.”
Chapter 15: The first time I fully got to experience Dimeor Day… I was 19.
I made small trinkets with the Iron my father gave me several days ago. They were all slightly different and I handed several to other people who live in the same village. Simply, wandering around the event not particularly interested in participating with other people. Being a large hassle to speak with every person who you may or may not know. I sat down on a rock staring out into the endless amount of sky dotted with different islands when a quiet voice said “hello.” Deep in my thoughts I didn’t pay much attention to the stranger. The stranger sat down next to me and asked “What are you staring at?”
Still not looking over I responded “I just wonder sometimes what the world out there is like. This is one of many islands and there are so many questions on where we are, why we are here…” My voice trailed off. I turn and see an attractive young face and stare at her sky blue eyes before darting my eyes as to not stare at her.
She giggled and said “Happy Dimeor Day.” And held out a blue crystal.
I looked at the crystal as it reflected the starry sky, then back up at her eyes. “Beautiful…” She blushed quickly I start to say something “ah, I mean… thanks” I smiled back at her. “Happy Dimeor Day” I looked inside my pouch and found probably the best amulet I had and gave it to her. I smiled, “I made it myself”
“Thank you” she said simply not moving from the spot. “So, tell me what else is on your mind?” She smiles at me…
Chuckling to yourself you flip through the pages some more. Passing through more pages of talking about this girl and how he still is trying to find answers to questions… You decide to skip to the most up to date section when a man approaches you at your table.
“Excuse me sir, I believe that is my book”
“Ah… yes sorry… I didn’t know who this belonged to…”
“It’s fine” I replied. “How much did you read?” I chuckle.
“Ah, not much”
“I see I see… well I best be off, I need to situate myself and see about going to school to study some of Rando’s teachings. Thanks for keeping my book safe.”
“Ah… sure….”
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation):
Short term: Make a good amount of money to live comfortably
Longer term: Inspired by Rando, he wants to go to school and possibly become a priest. In addition he is passionate about finding out more about the Medori’s history.
Strengths (Both physical and personality):
He is very outgoing and is a good public speaker. He is analytical and good with his hands (crafting sense). He is also fairly quick on his feet.
Weaknesses (Both physical and personality. Not knowing how to do something that is outside of your class is not a weakness. IE not knowing how to use bows and magic, if you are a swordsman.):
He is short tempered when upset. He isn’t physically strong to effectively use weapons. He thus generally avoids physical violence.
Does your character have any connections to currently-existing characters or characters yet to be accepted? If so, which? (See “Character Linking Aid”. Please post a link to the topic.):
No.
In-Character-Responses (ICRs. For each scenario, write at least a paragraph describing entirely in-character how your character would respond to the situation.Your ICRs will be used to see how well you can RP. Please post them as if in IC chat. An example can be found after this form.)
Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armored men harassing a young girl.
Severin: “Oy what are you two doing?”
Man1: “None of your business, get outa here”
Severin: “Miss, are you okay?”
Girl: -Eyes are teary-
Man 2: “She isn’t talking to you now is she?”
Severin: “I see. And I’m sure if other people found out about this, they would be just as okay as she is?”
Man1: -snikers- “Yeah go ahead and try”
Severin: -winks- “Someone pretending to be all strong. I’ll return with some help from the guards”
Man2: “Buzz off” –goes to throw the girl to the ground infront of you and then turns to go leave-
Severin: -nods and goes to help the girl up-
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
Man: “There is this artifact in Bloodstone that I need you to get, I’ll pay well if you bring it back”
Severin: “Uh… I’m probably not fully qualified to go on my own… can I bring a party along?”
Man: “of course”
Severin: “How about tomorrow I’ll meet you in the tavern with a group to go for this artifact and we can discuss specifics. Sounds ideal”
Man: “Yeah… yeah it does, I’ll see you tomorrow then for this offer”
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Man: “Anyone have any spare food? Food?”
Severin: “Here take some bread and water” –hands the man the bread and water- “Try to see if you can get some work or something ya know?”
Man: “Thank you”
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Severin: “Yeah yeah. At least she didn’t act stupid when drunk”
Man: “Shut it Medori! You good for nothing!”
Severin: -nods- “Well not to make a scene I suggest that you leave” –chuckles—“You look like quite the fool infront of all these people”
Man: “I’ll show you a fool” –stumbles over-
Severin: -stands up and takes several steps back-
Man: “Scared are ye?”
Severin: -shrugs- “You’re not worth my time” –turns to head out-
Man: -stumbles over unable to reach severin-
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Severin: “Wow, that’s a beautiful necklace! Where did you get it?”
Woman: -clutches necklace in her hand- “It has been passed down from my family…”
Severin: “Ahh interesting… it looks very nice on you” –smiles-
Woman: “Thank you… The necklace you have yourself if fairly nice itself, how did you come by that blue crystal in the iron necklace?
Severin: -smiles- “Well I made the necklace myself… It has quite the history too it” –stares out into the sky-
Woman: “sounds interesting, perhaps a story you want to share over a dinner?”
Serverin: “That sounds lovely~ Perhaps tomorrow evening I can meet you here again?”
Woman: -nods and smiles- “Nice to meet you, I’m Rose”
Severin: “The pleasure is all mine Rose. I’m Severin”
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?
Not in particular, I hope there is a lot of lore on Medori to discover
Other notes:
Cant wait to start rping with you guys again.
Oh personal thing. I really hate the powergame done by villains who use “RUNS AWAY” and then run off not letting anyone respond. I will flip a desk and report that YOLO.
To be a Paladin you must:
A. Be a bladesman originally
B. Get Your primary degree
C. Apply for acceptance to the Brotherhood of Virtue (a division of the Church)
mimmyjambo- An excellent app! Your character felt very human in the bio, which I appreciate a great deal. Like a living breathing person, not just a knight in shining armor or evil old man with folded hands, planning to raise the dead and take over the world. I look forward to seeing you server-side and on our enjin forum (http://aneria.enjin.com/). Welcome to TAC and the Silver Gaming Community!
Darkfirex- Glad to have you back, man. I really like the way you wrote your bio, aswell.. Very interesting. Everyone in the staff chat is currently clapping at the creativity. Look forward to seeing you server-side!
Deferred:
Jade_Solo- There were a few problems with your app, but it was by no means bad for a first attempt. The main thing I find strange is the structure of your character and her story. It just doesn't seem to flow very well, and her reactions to her parents flat out abandoning her don't seem very human. The strengths and weaknesses don't make sense either. She's very daring, very bold, and will stand up for anyone.. But is also.. Shy, and has trust issues. Does that really make sense? The way your character injured her arm was kinda weak aswell.. It's something that can be recovered from, easily. I'd like to ask you to find a better explanation to why your character has injured her arm. If your bio is really the best piece of writing you can offer, that's fine. Just try and make it flow better. Also, Tiff, tell your friend that if she/he would like to apply, that they must make an MC forum account. For all we know, this could be your app.. Dun dun dun! But really, if it can be made so, make it so.
RiasRestall- A very well written app, but there were a few problems. One, you'll need staff permission to start out knowing about any 'dark' magics, or being a descendant of the Linyera dynasty, as I'm sure the LMs have written quite a bit of lore surrounding the family. Fix these, and you ought to be fine. If you can't get staff permission, then you'll just have to change things around in your app. Sorry friend. If I had to suggest something, perhaps just say Rias is from an old Noble family who raised her with Loyalist/Pro-Monarchy ideals. Regarding the Dark Magic, perhaps just say she knew her father practiced it, and leave it at that. Goodluck! (Also, if we can make "Rias_Restall" fit, we'll set that as your name. If not, you'll have to choose "Rias" or "Restall" or something of the sort.)
Denied:
BEATSMAN102- I'm sorry, but you have not been accepted into TAC. There were many reasons. Poor spelling and grammar, cliche backstory, bad strenghts/weaknesses. We wish you luck in looking for another server. Please do not post another app, pester any staff members about your application, or spam our forums or the MC forum page.
Was I really that bad?
Can you list a few of my spelling and grammar mistakes please?
For the cliche I asked what that meant and didn`t have time to change it.
Yeah the strengths and weaknesses were pretty bad, but that was the only thing I saw that was actually bad after my edits.
Please reconsider, or give alitle more detail on why I was denied
I wont spam or pester anyone, if this post is offensive, sorry.
I'd like this to be left as an example for any current members of TAC. Please, do not lie to use and bring in alts without permission.
"You must play as if u are that person, you cant just become invincible because you said so, or jump off a cliff and survive."
"If I have experience with that kind of stuff yea I would probably get whatever he wants, if not I would politely say no"
Those are only a few. The main things that bothered me was the odd grammar in a few parts, and the slang("u", "yea").
Anyway, cliche means we've seen it a thousand times before, it's been done, and was poorly written. His parents were killed.. They got picked up by a rogue group of merry men.. etc. (By the way, google is your friend) I don't mean to be offensive, I just didn't see potential for improving. Thus the deny.
I apologize, all verdicts are final. I'm sure you can find another RP server somewhere on the MC forums, and sincerely do wish you luck.
I guess i should stop using those slangs, I have been using them way to much its getting to be habit.
What did you ( I almost did it again ) mean when You said google is my friend?
Did you mean for finding another server?
Google would be a pretty easy way to find out what cliche meant. In the app, it said: "No cliche backstories, blah blah blah." or something along those lines. If you didn't know.. Well, you could've googled it. It may have turned the tide of your app. You could also use google to find another server, it's probably easier just to check here on the MC forums, though.
Well I will leave you ( ha i did not say u this tame ) alone now.
Bye.
