Sorry for the inconvenience! All information of the server can be found on our website, though still a work in progress since we just released it today. Basic information has already been completed, which can be found under the "Information" section on the website.
So i'm looking at the currently available information on the site, and so far, it feels very faction/survival-ish with roleplay thrown in, so I have to ask; is it?r After reading the main bit here in the thread, it occurs to me that, yes, this will mainly be a faction/survival server with roleplay tossed in. All I gotta say is best of luck to you, since these types of servers don't often do well, and the quality of the RP that occurs on them is rather... meh.
Also, for the race part on the site, two things:
1) I'd polish up on what each race gets, and give a small description of each thing, as well as a small description of each race itself as well, so it's not an obvious copy and paste from plugin config file to image.
2) Just my personal opinion, but I really don't think the Fire Imp or Golem races should be available right off the bat, if at all. Both of those are often considered monsters in games and RP campaigns, and they both just don't seem like they'd function very well when tossed into normal society. The Golem race, maybe. But definitely not a Fire Imp.
Secret Code:tt(I think I checked the website and told me only two letters lol)
Previous Bans:I have only one ban when the game was still in beta I was much younger back then.
II. Questionaire Explain some rules of (minimum of 2 rules explained):One rule is about not making a god-like character like a unkillable person or a insta-killing person. Also staying in character which means a little kid can hold a heavy weapon. Explain some Roleplaying terms to show you know what roleplaying is (minimum of 2):Meta-Gaming which is when you take information from out of character and use it for your character. Also powergaming which forces people to do actions.
III. Character Information

With a grey shirt and brown cape, having a brown belt around his black pants, sporting leather shoes. Character Personality:A kind-hearted man brave enough to protect complete strangers.

Walking to Aetherial with his trusty dog by his side. As he was setting up camp he heard rustling and saw his dog leap into a bush. Chasing after his dog he found that he was surrounded by bandits. Not having any weapons with him surrendered. However he heard a growl and blood splattered on his face soon after.
His dog has bitten one of the bandits and without hesitation the bandit killed it immediately. He in rage came out like a berserk hitting them with his bare hands after some seconds found it useless as the bandits laugh at his attempt.

What is it about Aetherial that made you want to apply?: Looks interesting. I like the races!
Do you agree to follow all of the rules of the server?: Yes
Secret Code: SE
Do you have any previous bans we should know about?: None that I am aware of myself
II. Questionaire Explain some of the rules of Aetherial (2 Minimum): • No Hacking - This means that you cannot use outside mods or programs to enhance your gameplay in an unfair way, or going into the server itself to do things not allowed by the staff [I don't think the staff would ever let anyone do this, though]. • No spamming in Global Chat - This means that you cannot engage in any verbal behavior that would flood the chat, such as saying things over and over again, talking nonstop, or using excessive caps.
Explain what you think Roleplaying is, to the best of your ability: To me, Roleplaying is taking the role of someone of your own creation and living out their lives, experiencing life in a faster, more adventurous way than I would do in my own, real life.
What does Power-Gaming mean? Explain: Powergaming is that act of a player giving themselves great power, of any kind, without proper RP reasons to back it up, reasons that are allowed by the server and its staff. An example would be claiming to be the greatest swordsman, thus unbeatable in battle, but never having trained on the server in swordplay. Or just claiming you have the power of a God, and thus are immortal.
What does Meta-Gaming mean? Explain: Metagaming is the act of taking information learned from ANY source that is not from your personal character's RP, and using that information in RP as if your character knew it.
You are on a journey to an unknown, faraway land and only have space for items you can carry on your person. You will trek through many lands and environments, and the travel will take you four days. What do you bring with you on this journey, and why?:
I would first take a backpack, to carry my things in. Or if that's not possible, perhaps some kind of sac. Then I would bring some item to carry water in it, like maybe some animal stomachs? I'll need water, and its best to carry some. Then I'll also bring a knife, to hunt and make small tools, as well as some money to trade with anyone I meet along the way. Other than those, I don't know of any base neccessities to bring along, as I'm sure I could find and gather more along the way, storing them in my backpack.
You enter a large tavern one dark, rainy night and find yourself in the midst of a drunken brawl. Able to avoid the mess, you go around to the barkeep and order a drink. Just as you receive the drink you requested, a large man with a body built for chopping lumber grabs your shoulder and spits on your face as he demands, “Who ‘re yuh’, ye’ god-damned four-nur’!?” -What drink did you order, and why? And, what do you do and say after the large man grabs your shoulder?:
A hardy bottle of mead is what I ordered, although I doubt I can drink it now.
I look into the eyes of the man once I turn to face him, he who grabbed my shoulder. Without hesitation, the climate of the tavern having me already on edge, I jam my fingers into his left eye and throw my mead into his face, hard enough for the bottle to explode all over him. In that second, I would try to slip past him, as he is surely shocked, and make a run for it. I don't want trouble, I just want to get away from the brute! Not a word would be said, I don't want to be chased down.
On your way to your house, a tall and muscular man suited up in chainmail armor and wielding an iron sword lunges at you, swinging his blade down to end your life. There was no warning, no reason. The man has the training of a professional warrior and cannot easily be defeated by someone of your skill. How do you survive this encounter?:
I first try to dodge the sword and hope I succeed, or else I would die on the spot (most likely). If I succeeded, I would plead for my life. If the man was still intent on striking me down, I would do my best to avoid it - I would run behind things, throw small objects at him, and otherwise try to make as much distance between him and I. I would keep on moving, I wouldn't stay still - even if I thought I lost him, I wouldn't stop moving, for I must be sure that I am safe. Hopefully his armor slows him down enough that I can get out of his sight!
III. Character Information Character Name: Amadeus Wolfe
Character Gender, Race, and Age: Male, Human, 24
Character Faction, Job, and Class: Blacksteel, Miner, Knight
Write a detailed and well thought-out backstory for your character. Include your character’s appearance and personality, as well as anything else that would help define who your character is. Avoid any and all clichés, and avoid providing your character with any exceptional skills. (3 Paragraph Minimum):
Amadeus Wolfe, nicknamed Wolf by his friends, grew up in a land far away from Bide. There he was the son of a simple hunter, while his mother had died in child birth. He was the youngest of five children, three girls and two boys. His father trained all of his elder siblings to hunt as well at the ripe ages of eight. When it came for Wolf to learn his family's lifestyle, he caved in. He could not bring himself to kill an animal, even though he had been training with a bow since he was five. He could shoot inanimate targets, but taking the life of something was too much for him. Disappointed, the family semi-abandoned Wolf, treating him as if he were a stranger they HAD to care for. He was given scraps, he was ignored, and he was unloved. He was a reject within his own family.
By the time he was eleven years old, Fer Bastios invaded the land that Wolf lived in. Nobody was spared, unless they joined the invaders. His father a loyal patriot forced Wolf's family to join the battle to keep their home country safe, the runt Amadeus included. Suited up in iron armor, the family engaged in the first clash between Fer Bastios and their home kingdom along with a few hundred other patriots. However, they were simply no match. The strength of Fer Bastios rendered the other side a pile of corpses within an hour, and Amadeus Wolfe had to watch the slaying of his entire family right before his eyes, by the same soldiers he was too cowardly to kill with his own sword. Horrified, Wolf ran away, his small size allowing for him to bypass the watchful eyes of the invaders, who were too busy fighting real soldiers.
A few years would pass until Wolf found himself in a lowly tavern, drinking his guts out, consuming large amounts of alcohol, mead, and general booze. He had become a town drunkard since the time of the battle, leeching off the kind townsfolk that took him in. However, around the age of 21, he mistakenly insulted the nobleman that ran the small town, and was promptly thrown in jail. There he was beat on relentlessly, but he let it happen, too depressed to care for himself. However, he changed once he saw a prisoner that resembled his late elder brother getting attacked by those that usually beat him up. Feeling remorse for his actions long ago, he charged at the group and fought them, using a shard of rock to gouge the eyes out of the prisoners and slit many of their throats, saving the life of the weaker one.
Wolf had felt a rush he hadn't felt ever, as if he truly mattered, as if he had a purpose. While one of his eyes were now useless, a wound in the scuffle, he managed to break out of the measly prison. He let the weak man go free, and set off on his own journey. He made a living as a mercenary, a miner, a bodyguard, and eventually as a bounty hunter. After three years of adventure, he stumbled upon the desolate region of Bide, and decided to stake his future here, to become someone who mattered to everyone, a [i]hero[/i].
What are your character’s goals in life?:
To have his name become known by all, all over Aetherial. He wants to become one of those legends parents tell their kids before they go to bed. He wants to be a hero! He wants fame!

Best Regards,
Aetherial Staff Team
Thank you!
I do have a few questions, as the lore and factions spoilers both confused me. The lore claims that the place is devoid of all inhabitants, but the factions talk about an assassination and general things inferring that it is not uninhabited...? Is that just a mixup or something, and will be changed?
And with races, like for Trition, do they actually get ingame bonuses? Can Tritions actually move faster in water, and do certain races deal less or more damage, or take more or less, under certain situations?
Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, I'm just curious
Yes, that seems to be a mix up, we will fix that right away tomorrow! To regards to the second question, absolutely yes! Each race has their own bonuses and weaknesses and will take effect in-game. We designed each race to have the capability on complimenting each other, be it RP,PVP, or PVE. Along with them being deadly to each other, all depending your play style/character. No need to apologize, we love answering questions that you might have, so please fire away!
What is it about Aetherial that made you want to apply?:I've been looking for a role play server and this one looks great.

Otinot was an only child to a poor family. His family taught him to care for others and never to only think only about himself.

Today the server opens to ALL accepted applications to begin your journey as your hero. To begin to make your mark, to share/create stories with other players.

Secret Code: w (it said the secret code is the first letter of your username, so does it have to be more than one letters or just one?)
Do you have any previous bans we should know about?: I have no previous bans that you should know about.
II. Questionaire Explain some of the rules of Aetherial (2 Minimum): • No greifing: That means, don't break blocks for no reason/get out of your way to break. If someone has an obsidian fort, you only need to break 2 to get in, not 10 from different spots. • No powergaming: Don't force people to take actions they don't want to. (Will - Hey let's check out this cave! ... Zach - No I don't want to go in there! . . . Will - *picks up Zach and walks into cave*)
Explain what you think Roleplaying is, to the best of your ability: Roleplaying is playing from a third person point of view in fantasy/reality situations. It gives you abilites to take different paths of your choice and live the life you want unless it is chance based then you will just have to get lucky.
What does Power-Gaming mean? Explain: It's when you force someone to take an action they don't want to take.
What does Meta-Gaming mean? Explain: *I'm a bit more confused on this one* It's when you act/use different information from what you originally said.
You are on a journey to an unknown, faraway land and only have space for items you can carry on your person. You will trek through many lands and environments, and the travel will take you four days. What do you bring with you on this journey, and why?: I will bring a small hunting knife which would take up about 2/3 of one front pocket. I will use this to create sharp sticks *spears* for hunting. I will bring some flint and steel which would take up about 1/3 of a pocket. I will use the flint and steel with kindling I find along the way to make small fires to cook food that I hunt with my spear. In my other pocket (assuming I only have two baggy front pockets) I will carry a small journal and a pen which will take up my whole pocket. Inside I will journal all animals/plants I find so I can use that information in the future for tactics.
You enter a large tavern one dark, rainy night and find yourself in the midst of a drunken brawl. Able to avoid the mess, you go around to the barkeep and order a drink. Just as you receive the drink you requested, a large man with a body built for chopping lumber grabs your shoulder and spits on your face as he demands, “Who ‘re yuh’, ye’ god-damned four-nur’!?” -What drink did you order, and why? And, what do you do and say after the large man grabs your shoulder?: I (seeming like a weak man) ordered a milk hoping not to get drunk after seeing the two men brawling. I tell the large man I am not looking for a fight and am just traveling after a four day journey through an unknown land. Assuming he continues to instigate a fight I would stand up and tell him to stop one more time. If he gets ready to fight, since he is much larger and clumsier (assuming he is drunk) I would have to be quick on my feet and not waste too much energy.
On your way to your house, a tall and muscular man suited up in chainmail armor and wielding an iron sword lunges at you, swinging his blade down to end your life. There was no warning, no reason. The man has the training of a professional warrior and cannot easily be defeated by someone of your skill. How do you survive this encounter?: Assuming the blade was going at a stabbing position towards me (lunge) I would quickly move to the side. He would stumble a tiny bit from missing then I would push him and make an escape for it. Since he is wearing chainmail armor I would head for a river/large water source since if he entered he would drown. If there were none nearby, since he is wearing heavy armor I could most likely outrun him and get to high ground.
III. Character Information Character Name: Sneak
Character Gender, Race, and Age: Male, Human, 23
Character Faction, Job, and Class: Desolation, Blacksmith, and Assasin
Write a detailed and well thought-out backstory for your character. Include your character’s appearance and personality, as well as anything else that would help define who your character is. Avoid any and all clichés, and avoid providing your character with any exceptional skills. (3 Paragraph Minimum): His name is Sneak. He prefers to keep to himself and that's why no one knows his real name. He got his nick name when he was caught trying to steal an iron ingot from his neighbor. He came into town one day as a 8 year old boy. The blacksmith brought him in and taught him some skills as it his current profession/job. Nobody knows where he came from or anything about his parents. He doesn't answer those kind of questions. The only thing he brought into that town was some old white and red clothes that looked to big for him. He has now grown into it and it fits him pretty well. He continues to work with the blacksmith and has a good bond with him. He likes to keep in the shadows and practices skills such as pick locking and sneaking in his free time. People want to know him better but never know how to start a conversation with him. When he learned that the blacksmith was sick he vowed to find a way to save him. Sneak's adventure had just begun here when for the first time he is going to have to travel someone since he was 8. He always has free time and no one knows what he does with it. He doesn't know what he does with it either. He usually likes to think and imagine trying to keep himself sane. When he doesn't have free time he is always practicing some skills such as blacksmithing or some "thief" skill. After a while, the blacksmith has become even more sick. He realizes this isn't some normal illness, but instead the blacksmith has been poisoned. And this is where Sneak starts his journey.
What are your character’s goals in life?: My character's life goals are to become a renown thief and assassin while helping the poor. He is more of a sneaky Robin Hood and wants to master his "thief" skills while conquering every dungeon he can trying to figure out who poisoned the blacksmith.
Anything else you would like to include?: It would be an honor to be in the server since it seems like so much fun and I haven't played on a great RPG server in a while
I am the proud owner of Aetherial Treasures of The Crown, and I am happy to announce the re-opening of the server. After a while on creating the launch trailer, it is finally ready for players to apply and test out the server! Make sure to view the trailer of course ;D

Accepted!Stay tuned on the website for launch dates (Possible Early Morning Tomorrow)
I have completed the "Support" page on the website! If you find any plugin issues or unfriendly players, please report to the support page located on the website!
Nothing is shown off, I don't see nothing that can pull me into your server.
Sorry for the inconvenience! All information of the server can be found on our website, though still a work in progress since we just released it today. Basic information has already been completed, which can be found under the "Information" section on the website.

Both of those are often considered monsters in games and RP campaigns, and they both just don't seem like they'd function very well when tossed into normal society. The Golem race, maybe. But definitely not a Fire Imp.

II. Questionaire
Explain some of the rules of Aetherial (2 Minimum):
• No Hacking - This means that you cannot use outside mods or programs to enhance your gameplay in an unfair way, or going into the server itself to do things not allowed by the staff [I don't think the staff would ever let anyone do this, though].
• No spamming in Global Chat - This means that you cannot engage in any verbal behavior that would flood the chat, such as saying things over and over again, talking nonstop, or using excessive caps.
Explain what you think Roleplaying is, to the best of your ability: To me, Roleplaying is taking the role of someone of your own creation and living out their lives, experiencing life in a faster, more adventurous way than I would do in my own, real life.
What does Power-Gaming mean? Explain: Powergaming is that act of a player giving themselves great power, of any kind, without proper RP reasons to back it up, reasons that are allowed by the server and its staff. An example would be claiming to be the greatest swordsman, thus unbeatable in battle, but never having trained on the server in swordplay. Or just claiming you have the power of a God, and thus are immortal.
What does Meta-Gaming mean? Explain: Metagaming is the act of taking information learned from ANY source that is not from your personal character's RP, and using that information in RP as if your character knew it.
You are on a journey to an unknown, faraway land and only have space for items you can carry on your person. You will trek through many lands and environments, and the travel will take you four days. What do you bring with you on this journey, and why?:
I would first take a backpack, to carry my things in. Or if that's not possible, perhaps some kind of sac. Then I would bring some item to carry water in it, like maybe some animal stomachs? I'll need water, and its best to carry some. Then I'll also bring a knife, to hunt and make small tools, as well as some money to trade with anyone I meet along the way. Other than those, I don't know of any base neccessities to bring along, as I'm sure I could find and gather more along the way, storing them in my backpack.
You enter a large tavern one dark, rainy night and find yourself in the midst of a drunken brawl. Able to avoid the mess, you go around to the barkeep and order a drink. Just as you receive the drink you requested, a large man with a body built for chopping lumber grabs your shoulder and spits on your face as he demands, “Who ‘re yuh’, ye’ god-damned four-nur’!?”
-What drink did you order, and why? And, what do you do and say after the large man grabs your shoulder?:
A hardy bottle of mead is what I ordered, although I doubt I can drink it now.
I look into the eyes of the man once I turn to face him, he who grabbed my shoulder. Without hesitation, the climate of the tavern having me already on edge, I jam my fingers into his left eye and throw my mead into his face, hard enough for the bottle to explode all over him. In that second, I would try to slip past him, as he is surely shocked, and make a run for it. I don't want trouble, I just want to get away from the brute! Not a word would be said, I don't want to be chased down.
On your way to your house, a tall and muscular man suited up in chainmail armor and wielding an iron sword lunges at you, swinging his blade down to end your life. There was no warning, no reason. The man has the training of a professional warrior and cannot easily be defeated by someone of your skill. How do you survive this encounter?:
I first try to dodge the sword and hope I succeed, or else I would die on the spot (most likely). If I succeeded, I would plead for my life. If the man was still intent on striking me down, I would do my best to avoid it - I would run behind things, throw small objects at him, and otherwise try to make as much distance between him and I. I would keep on moving, I wouldn't stay still - even if I thought I lost him, I wouldn't stop moving, for I must be sure that I am safe. Hopefully his armor slows him down enough that I can get out of his sight!
III. Character Information
Character Name: Amadeus Wolfe
Character Gender, Race, and Age: Male, Human, 24
Character Faction, Job, and Class: Blacksteel, Miner, Knight
Write a detailed and well thought-out backstory for your character. Include your character’s appearance and personality, as well as anything else that would help define who your character is. Avoid any and all clichés, and avoid providing your character with any exceptional skills. (3 Paragraph Minimum):
Amadeus Wolfe, nicknamed Wolf by his friends, grew up in a land far away from Bide. There he was the son of a simple hunter, while his mother had died in child birth. He was the youngest of five children, three girls and two boys. His father trained all of his elder siblings to hunt as well at the ripe ages of eight. When it came for Wolf to learn his family's lifestyle, he caved in. He could not bring himself to kill an animal, even though he had been training with a bow since he was five. He could shoot inanimate targets, but taking the life of something was too much for him. Disappointed, the family semi-abandoned Wolf, treating him as if he were a stranger they HAD to care for. He was given scraps, he was ignored, and he was unloved. He was a reject within his own family.
By the time he was eleven years old, Fer Bastios invaded the land that Wolf lived in. Nobody was spared, unless they joined the invaders. His father a loyal patriot forced Wolf's family to join the battle to keep their home country safe, the runt Amadeus included. Suited up in iron armor, the family engaged in the first clash between Fer Bastios and their home kingdom along with a few hundred other patriots. However, they were simply no match. The strength of Fer Bastios rendered the other side a pile of corpses within an hour, and Amadeus Wolfe had to watch the slaying of his entire family right before his eyes, by the same soldiers he was too cowardly to kill with his own sword. Horrified, Wolf ran away, his small size allowing for him to bypass the watchful eyes of the invaders, who were too busy fighting real soldiers.
A few years would pass until Wolf found himself in a lowly tavern, drinking his guts out, consuming large amounts of alcohol, mead, and general booze. He had become a town drunkard since the time of the battle, leeching off the kind townsfolk that took him in. However, around the age of 21, he mistakenly insulted the nobleman that ran the small town, and was promptly thrown in jail. There he was beat on relentlessly, but he let it happen, too depressed to care for himself. However, he changed once he saw a prisoner that resembled his late elder brother getting attacked by those that usually beat him up. Feeling remorse for his actions long ago, he charged at the group and fought them, using a shard of rock to gouge the eyes out of the prisoners and slit many of their throats, saving the life of the weaker one.
Wolf had felt a rush he hadn't felt ever, as if he truly mattered, as if he had a purpose. While one of his eyes were now useless, a wound in the scuffle, he managed to break out of the measly prison. He let the weak man go free, and set off on his own journey. He made a living as a mercenary, a miner, a bodyguard, and eventually as a bounty hunter. After three years of adventure, he stumbled upon the desolate region of Bide, and decided to stake his future here, to become someone who mattered to everyone, a [i]hero[/i].
What are your character’s goals in life?:
To have his name become known by all, all over Aetherial. He wants to become one of those legends parents tell their kids before they go to bed. He wants to be a hero! He wants fame!

Thank you!
I do have a few questions, as the lore and factions spoilers both confused me. The lore claims that the place is devoid of all inhabitants, but the factions talk about an assassination and general things inferring that it is not uninhabited...? Is that just a mixup or something, and will be changed?
And with races, like for Trition, do they actually get ingame bonuses? Can Tritions actually move faster in water, and do certain races deal less or more damage, or take more or less, under certain situations?
Sorry if I'm asking too many questions, I'm just curious
Yes, that seems to be a mix up, we will fix that right away tomorrow! To regards to the second question, absolutely yes! Each race has their own bonuses and weaknesses and will take effect in-game. We designed each race to have the capability on complimenting each other, be it RP,PVP, or PVE. Along with them being deadly to each other, all depending your play style/character. No need to apologize, we love answering questions that you might have, so please fire away!

What is it about Aetherial that made you want to apply?: The idea of a new generation RPG server really interested me since all the ones I used to play on got boring since you didn't have the freedom of choice.
Do you agree to follow all of the rules of the server?: I agree to follow all server rules

Do you have any previous bans we should know about?: I have no previous bans that you should know about.
II. Questionaire
Explain some of the rules of Aetherial (2 Minimum):
• No greifing: That means, don't break blocks for no reason/get out of your way to break. If someone has an obsidian fort, you only need to break 2 to get in, not 10 from different spots.
• No powergaming: Don't force people to take actions they don't want to. (Will - Hey let's check out this cave! ... Zach - No I don't want to go in there! . . . Will - *picks up Zach and walks into cave*)
Explain what you think Roleplaying is, to the best of your ability: Roleplaying is playing from a third person point of view in fantasy/reality situations. It gives you abilites to take different paths of your choice and live the life you want unless it is chance based then you will just have to get lucky.
What does Power-Gaming mean? Explain: It's when you force someone to take an action they don't want to take.
What does Meta-Gaming mean? Explain: *I'm a bit more confused on this one* It's when you act/use different information from what you originally said.
You are on a journey to an unknown, faraway land and only have space for items you can carry on your person. You will trek through many lands and environments, and the travel will take you four days. What do you bring with you on this journey, and why?: I will bring a small hunting knife which would take up about 2/3 of one front pocket. I will use this to create sharp sticks *spears* for hunting. I will bring some flint and steel which would take up about 1/3 of a pocket. I will use the flint and steel with kindling I find along the way to make small fires to cook food that I hunt with my spear. In my other pocket (assuming I only have two baggy front pockets) I will carry a small journal and a pen which will take up my whole pocket. Inside I will journal all animals/plants I find so I can use that information in the future for tactics.
You enter a large tavern one dark, rainy night and find yourself in the midst of a drunken brawl. Able to avoid the mess, you go around to the barkeep and order a drink. Just as you receive the drink you requested, a large man with a body built for chopping lumber grabs your shoulder and spits on your face as he demands, “Who ‘re yuh’, ye’ god-damned four-nur’!?”
-What drink did you order, and why? And, what do you do and say after the large man grabs your shoulder?: I (seeming like a weak man) ordered a milk hoping not to get drunk after seeing the two men brawling. I tell the large man I am not looking for a fight and am just traveling after a four day journey through an unknown land. Assuming he continues to instigate a fight I would stand up and tell him to stop one more time. If he gets ready to fight, since he is much larger and clumsier (assuming he is drunk) I would have to be quick on my feet and not waste too much energy.
On your way to your house, a tall and muscular man suited up in chainmail armor and wielding an iron sword lunges at you, swinging his blade down to end your life. There was no warning, no reason. The man has the training of a professional warrior and cannot easily be defeated by someone of your skill. How do you survive this encounter?: Assuming the blade was going at a stabbing position towards me (lunge) I would quickly move to the side. He would stumble a tiny bit from missing then I would push him and make an escape for it. Since he is wearing chainmail armor I would head for a river/large water source since if he entered he would drown. If there were none nearby, since he is wearing heavy armor I could most likely outrun him and get to high ground.
III. Character Information
Character Name: Sneak
Character Gender, Race, and Age: Male, Human, 23
Character Faction, Job, and Class: Desolation, Blacksmith, and Assasin
Write a detailed and well thought-out backstory for your character. Include your character’s appearance and personality, as well as anything else that would help define who your character is. Avoid any and all clichés, and avoid providing your character with any exceptional skills. (3 Paragraph Minimum):
His name is Sneak. He prefers to keep to himself and that's why no one knows his real name. He got his nick name when he was caught trying to steal an iron ingot from his neighbor. He came into town one day as a 8 year old boy. The blacksmith brought him in and taught him some skills as it his current profession/job.
Nobody knows where he came from or anything about his parents. He doesn't answer those kind of questions. The only thing he brought into that town was some old white and red clothes that looked to big for him. He has now grown into it and it fits him pretty well. He continues to work with the blacksmith and has a good bond with him. He likes to keep in the shadows and practices skills such as pick locking and sneaking in his free time. People want to know him better but never know how to start a conversation with him.
When he learned that the blacksmith was sick he vowed to find a way to save him. Sneak's adventure had just begun here when for the first time he is going to have to travel someone since he was 8. He always has free time and no one knows what he does with it. He doesn't know what he does with it either. He usually likes to think and imagine trying to keep himself sane. When he doesn't have free time he is always practicing some skills such as blacksmithing or some "thief" skill. After a while, the blacksmith has become even more sick. He realizes this isn't some normal illness, but instead the blacksmith has been poisoned. And this is where Sneak starts his journey.
What are your character’s goals in life?: My character's life goals are to become a renown thief and assassin while helping the poor. He is more of a sneaky Robin Hood and wants to master his "thief" skills while conquering every dungeon he can trying to figure out who poisoned the blacksmith.
Include a picture (Screenshot, Skin File, Link to Skin) of the character’s skin: http://www.planetmin...sassin-2935868/
Anything else you would like to include?: It would be an honor to be in the server since it seems like so much fun and I haven't played on a great RPG server in a while
I am the proud owner of Aetherial Treasures of The Crown, and I am happy to announce the re-opening of the server. After a while on creating the launch trailer, it is finally ready for players to apply and test out the server! Make sure to view the trailer of course ;D
