Role-playing experience: I have played on this server; this is a reapplication for the 4th age.
Age: 12
Country/ Time zone: West coast, pacific time, usa.
Where did you find us?: On the forms the first time.
Why do you want to join us?: I want to join you because I love LOTR. First off I have watched all the movies, and read the hobbit, and seen the movie. You guys have great staff, and I love this server!
IF you could choose a character from the list in the post, who would you want to be and why?: King Théoden or a rohan king. I love rohan, even thought it has fallen .
Time you can give to this server(Everyday, or per week): 2 – 7 times a week.
Who are the Evil Characters of Lord of The Rings?: Orcs, Haradrims(from the 4th age), the witch king, and Saruman.
Have you read the rules?: I have read the rules with Pippin, you should do something like if you have read the rules do “Haradrims” to see if people have read the lore to?
What is RolePlaying for you? : Role playing is playing a role that you choose. It is not just Pvp Were everyone gets killed. You must rp before you attack someone.
What is MetaGaming in your words? : Meta gamming is knowing something that tour rp character would never know. For example, knowing that helms deep is going to explode in the battle of helms deep.
What is Power Gaming in your words? : Power gamming would be like over taking a player with 6 solders. 6 against 1 is not fair and if the player had no weapons, then it is even more unfair. Another example would be like trapping someone in a hole and not letting them escape.
In Character(IC) INFO:
Name: Eslbore Qelron II (Grand son of Goman Qelron from my first rp character.)
Race: Human man
Age: 21
Character Back-story: After the battle for minas tirth, Captain Goman moved to minas tirth, to start a new life. There he made and raised his family. His first son was Eslbore. He had 5 other children, but they are not important in this story. In 27 years Eslbore I started a family. He had a son named Eslbore II. Eslbore II was a good child, and helped in the market when his father asked. When he turned 21, his father told him they would have to leave the safe walls of minas tirth, to go to his grand fathers’ birth city, Rohan, an approaching army called the Haradrims, was coming. They journeyed for weeks. When they finally arrived they city was destroyed by a drought. In other words, devastated. Eslbore I joined rohan, in the hope of helping them. Then the Haradrims showed up. The battle lasted from a long time, and eslbore fought valiantly. He stayed up to the end, but then was slayn, just as the king and his captain, were on their last stand. Rohan had fallen, and my father was dead. In the Frey of the battle some rohan children and women had found us. We left rohan for the misty mountains, and to find help from the elves. As they walked Eslbore II grieved madly. He should have not let his father in to rohan to help the battle. He would avenge his father’s death, even if it be the last thing he did. A new battle cry rang in his head: "For gondor, and the lives of the men lost in rohan!"
Role-play Example:
-A war may be coming...-
Kings solider enters the room*
Solider: "my king" bows* "I bring news"
king: "what is it?"
Solider: "One of your men has been shot, the arrow is in deep."
king: "can he be saved"
soldier: "yes, bring some surgeons"

Roleplaying experience: I like to consider myself a roleplay enthusiast, as I've very proudly roleplayed on LotRO (Lord of the Rings Online) for the past three years and before that, I've had some experience on Star Wars Galaxies. I'm yet to discover a minecraft roleplaying server which I like, but I tend to be rather picky.
Age ( Please do not lie It won’t make you better): I am 14, turning 15 next month. However, I've been told I'm much more mature than my age tells, and I don't hope my age will be an issue.
Country/ Time zone: The Middle East (GMT +3.00), though I'm not a native here, but an American.
Where did you find us?: I googled 'Minecraft Lord of the Rings' and you seemed like a neat server, so I thought I may as well apply.
Why do you want to join us? ( Please be a bit detailed): I'd love to join you because I am a huge LotR fan and have read all three books, seen all three movies countless times, and know a fair share of lore. I also enjoy roleplaying and minecraft itself... The two of them combined would be great! And with Lord of the Rings as the theme? Yum.
IF you could choose a character from the list in the post, who would you want to be and why?: I'm not really sure which list you mean... But if you are referring to the 'ranks', like Faramir, Steward of Gondor, etc. then I would like to be Faramir, as it seems like a relatively fitting position for me. However, if characters in general, I'd like to be Aragorn, as I LOVE the Dunedain history and lore and he is my favourite character.
Time you can give to this server(Everyday, or per week): Due to my education, the amount of time I can give to the server will vary. But generally, I usually have time to get on three or four times a week, mostly on Fridays, Thursdays and Saturdays, but I'll probably be able to dedicate a few hours on the weekdays as well, depending on homework and upcoming exams.
Who are the Evil Characters of Lord of The Rings?: Morgoth (Melkor), Sauron, the Ring-Wraiths, Saruman, etc.
Have you read the rules?: Indeed!
What is RolePlaying for you? : For me, roleplaying is stepping into the shoes of a character of your own innovation and imagination.
What is MetaGaming in your words? : MetaGaming on Lord of the Rings Online is taking information which you know in the OOC world, then using it while in character. For example, if you approach say, Frodo at the Green Dragon and shout across the room, your character having never met Frodo, nor heard tale of him before, but you do as a player, "Hey! Frodo! I'm a huge fan!"
What is PowerGaming in your words? : PowerGaming is when one player forces an event or action on another player, usually to a negative effect.
In Character(IC) INFO:
*Your IC part better be detailed if you want to be accepted*
Name(Please give your Character a name that fits with your race) : Branith Stumpwood is the character whom I play on the Lord of the Rings Online, and I'd like to continue his legacy.
Race(Go see the race section higher up. And is he a man or a woman): Male Human
Age: I'd rather not give away his precise age, as that's something he has kept to himself. But to the eyes of an average man, he'd appear to be in his mid-twenties, at latest his thirties.
Character Backstory: I have written up a detailed background for this character already, and it can be found at http://laurelinarchi...g/profile/2059. But rather than paraphrasing what I've written on there, I'll just copy-paste it onto here (all written is my own words). Note that this is not his current lifestyle, and this is only the basis of the character when I created him a year ago. As roleplay does, he has evolved over time. Please enjoy!
Branith Stumpwood, often times shortened to Stump for the benefit of lazy Bree-landers was born to two locals of Trestlebridge. His father, being a high-ranking guard of Trestlebridge, and his mother a talented minstrel, Branith of course learnt a thing or two of their proffessions. At the age of seven, Branith smashed his family's treasured vase out of frustration. His parents, needing something to hold their flowers, went out to buy yet another vase, a few moments at the market would be all the time they needed. However, Branith was far too rebellious a child and, as they left the door, leaving their safe unlocked, he stole a great deal of silver and his mothers lute.Already having packed his few belongings, Branith set out to fulfill his dream - to be the most talented bard Middle Earth had ever seen.
Personality traits: Incredibly patient. He is rather persuasive with the way he speaks. He also has an obsession with betting large sums of money and gambling.
Physical description or image of skin?: This is my character's biography from LotRO, which will hopefully give you a clear idea of how he'd appear. (Once again, all my writing)
This surprisingly thin man stands just under six foot, garbed from head to toe in the clothes of a wealthy Bree-lander, though his clothes are not overly elegant. His jetblack hair and dark grey eyes alike, sinister by nature.
His weapons by his side, may it be a sword or a dagger, always are kept sharp. His hair, always brushed down to his shoulders and his eyes, always watching those who pass him.
He is light on his feet and quick with his hands. His steps make the sound that a feather would as it touches ground and his hands, quick as a hare, running from a fox.
His voice defies his age, as if he is still in his early twenties. He speaks smoothly with a sly tongue and as the words leave his mouth, you find they are ever more, persuading you towards whatever argument he is for. He uses his talent for more than just arguing, such as betting and selling his wares. Due to this talent, his pockets never seem to run low on silver.
Skills of your character : As I prefer many things to be explored through roleplay, especially with this character, I will only mention a few of his skills which would be obvious to the average man. This would be that he has the ability to wield a blade and bow, and by the size of his purse, the ability to earn some coin - and quite a lot of it.
What is his ultimate goal? : His motivation often changes, but at the moment his main goal is to gain popularity across the world, purely from a business perspective.

Where did you find us?: I'm a fan of the Lord of the Rings and I found you on the forums while searching for an role-play server to join.
Why do you want to join us? ( Please be a bit detailed): I really want to join a role-play server in Minecraft, and being a huge fan of LOTR, I figured that this would be a great server to join.
IF you could choose a character from the list in the post, who would you want to be and why?: I would definitely pick Saruman, seeing as he is a wizard and that he commands an army of Uruk-Hai, which are my favorite creatures in LOTR. Since I've read the books and seen the movie, I have taken a great liking towards the evil forces of Sauron and Saruman.

What is RolePlaying for you? : Role-Playing is escaping from reality and being able to take on the roll of things that you couldn't hope to be in real life.
What is MetaGaming in your words? : Meta-Gamers use their own OOC knowledge to guide their character, and don't think as if they were actually their role. What is PowerGaming in your words? : Power-Gamers ignore character development and what not, and like to find the quickest way to be the best.

Name(Please give your Character a name that fits with your race) : Uftrhak
Race(Go see the race section higher up. And is he a man or a woman): Male Savage-Orc (Can I ask why are Uruks are currently locked?)
Age: 27
Character Backstory : All that Uftrhak remembers from his early days is stone and fire. In the barren wastes of Mordor, he was bred for war. Spending all of his life guarding the black gate, and forging hot metal, Uftrhak lacks moral values and civility. Doing the exact same things over and over has left him with three desires, food, rest, and mindless violence. While he has participated in raids and tower watches, he has not yet seen major battle. With a black heart, and hot aggression, Uftrhak continues with his savage ways, always loving the taste of man flesh...
Roleplay Example ( A conversation between your character and someone else. We want to see who well you can Roleplay ): Snagu the Orc: What do you say we eats the dead? It's not like they can do anything else. Random Orc: Yeah, we ain't had anything but cold mutton for a week! How about something fresh? Snagu the Orc: I call the fat one, rights here. Uftrhak: No, that one's all mine you little maggot! Snagu the Orc: What are you gonna do about it? Uftrhak: Put your head on a pole where it belongs! Snagu the Orc: [pulls knife] You in what army? Uftrhak: Who's up for some even fresher meat boys?! [a group of uruks and orcs gathers behind Uftrhak. Snagu attempts to stab Uftrhak but he beheads him with his scimitar] Uftrhak: DIG IN!
Personality traits: Ruthless, Savage, lacking in compassion.
Physical description or image of skin?: My skin has dark red, dirty skin, dark brown, long hair, fiery orange eyes, and a muscular build. The only clothes I drew on it were a loin cloth and gauntlets. I originally intended for it to look like a new-born Uruk-Hai when I made it a few months ago.
Skills of your character : Uftrhak can forge steel and iron, fight with a sword, and also knows a fair amount about archery. Being an orc bred for war, he lacks the intelligence for anything higher than warcraft or negotiating who gets the last piece of meat with his peers, which is more like a bloody brawl than a negotiation.
What is his ultimate goal? ( Ex: Becoming a king, owning the biggest farm, being the richest merchant in Gondor ) The ultimate goal of Uftrhak is to destroy man-kind under Sauron and always have fresh meat to eat.

Hey everybody! Just letting you know that to all players interested in joining, it is worth the wait for the new server.

So stay tight and do not forget this server, because you will certainly regret it!

This comment made me smile and is worth an answer/update.
This week I will do my complete best to try finishing some lore with Ed so you guys can start to slowly form your characters. During that time Ele will finish the shire ( maybe sneek peaks to come? )
I'll also build in another city you will discover once server opens!

Physical description or image of skin?: This is my character's biography from LotRO, which will hopefully give you a clear idea of how he'd appear. (Once again, all my writing)
This surprisingly thin man stands just under six foot, garbed from head to toe in the clothes of a wealthy Bree-lander, though his clothes are not overly elegant. His jetblack hair and dark grey eyes alike, sinister by nature.
His weapons by his side, may it be a sword or a dagger, always are kept sharp. His hair, always brushed down to his shoulders and his eyes, always watching those who pass him.
He is light on his feet and quick with his hands. His steps make the sound that a feather would as it touches ground and his hands, quick as a hare, running from a fox.
His voice defies his age, as if he is still in his early twenties. He speaks smoothly with a sly tongue and as the words leave his mouth, you find they are ever more, persuading you towards whatever argument he is for. He uses his talent for more than just arguing, such as betting and selling his wares. Due to this talent, his pockets never seem to run low on silver.
Skills of your character : As I prefer many things to be explored through roleplay, especially with this character, I will only mention a few of his skills which would be obvious to the average man. This would be that he has the ability to wield a blade and bow, and by the size of his purse, the ability to earn some coin - and quite a lot of it.
What is his ultimate goal? : His motivation often changes, but at the moment his main goal is to gain popularity across the world, purely from a business perspective.

Age ( Please do not lie It won’t make you better): 14
Country/ Time zone: United States
Where did you find us?: I'm a fan of the Lord of the Rings and I found you on the forums while searching for an role-play server to join.
Why do you want to join us? ( Please be a bit detailed): I really want to join a role-play server in Minecraft, and being a huge fan of LOTR, I figured that this would be a great server to join.
IF you could choose a character from the list in the post, who would you want to be and why?: I would definitely pick Saruman, seeing as he is a wizard and that he commands an army of Uruk-Hai, which are my favorite creatures in LOTR. Since I've read the books and seen the movie, I have taken a great liking towards the evil forces of Sauron and Saruman.
Time you can give to this server(Everyday, or per week): I regularly play minecraft every day, so if I like the server, which I'm sure I will, I'll be on all the time.
Who are the Evil Characters of Lord of The Rings?: Sauron, Saruman, Grima Worm-tongue, the Witch King, the Nazguls, and all orcs, uruks, and trolls in general. Gollum could also count I think.

What is RolePlaying for you? : Role-Playing is escaping from reality and being able to take on the roll of things that you couldn't hope to be in real life.
What is MetaGaming in your words? : Meta-Gamers use their own OOC knowledge to guide their character, and don't think as if they were actually their role.
What is PowerGaming in your words? : Power-Gamers ignore character development and what not, and like to find the quickest way to be the best.
In Character(IC) INFO:
*Your IC part better be detailed if you want to be accepted*
Name(Please give your Character a name that fits with your race) : Uftrhak
Race(Go see the race section higher up. And is he a man or a woman): Male Savage-Orc (Can I ask why are Uruks are currently locked?)
Age: 27
Character Backstory : All that Uftrhak remembers from his early days is stone and fire. In the barren wastes of Mordor, he was bred for war. Spending all of his life guarding the black gate, and forging hot metal, Uftrhak lacks moral values and civility. Doing the exact same things over and over has left him with three desires, food, rest, and mindless violence. While he has participated in raids and tower watches, he has not yet seen major battle. With a black heart, and hot aggression, Uftrhak continues with his savage ways, always loving the taste of man flesh...
Roleplay Example ( A conversation between your character and someone else. We want to see who well you can Roleplay ):
Snagu the Orc: What do you say we eats the dead? It's not like they can do anything else.
Random Orc: Yeah, we ain't had anything but cold mutton for a week! How about something fresh?
Snagu the Orc: I call the fat one, rights here.
Uftrhak: No, that one's all mine you little maggot!
Snagu the Orc: What are you gonna do about it?
Uftrhak: Put your head on a pole where it belongs!
Snagu the Orc: [pulls knife] You in what army?
Uftrhak: Who's up for some even fresher meat boys?!
[a group of uruks and orcs gathers behind Uftrhak. Snagu attempts to stab Uftrhak but he beheads him with his scimitar]
Uftrhak: DIG IN!
Personality traits: Ruthless, Savage, lacking in compassion.
Physical description or image of skin?: My skin has dark red, dirty skin, dark brown, long hair, fiery orange eyes, and a muscular build. The only clothes I drew on it were a loin cloth and gauntlets. I originally intended for it to look like a new-born Uruk-Hai when I made it a few months ago.
Skills of your character : Uftrhak can forge steel and iron, fight with a sword, and also knows a fair amount about archery. Being an orc bred for war, he lacks the intelligence for anything higher than warcraft or negotiating who gets the last piece of meat with his peers, which is more like a bloody brawl than a negotiation.
What is his ultimate goal? ( Ex: Becoming a king, owning the biggest farm, being the richest merchant in Gondor ) The ultimate goal of Uftrhak is to destroy man-kind under Sauron and always have fresh meat to eat.
I'm sorry, I didn't realize you weren't excepting applications anymore. Should've read all the posts before I filled it all out. -.-
