Hey, I'm randalpik and here is my application for this server.
Out of Character(OOC): (Don’t be shy we won’t ban for this part it’s only to know our players) IGN(In Game Name): randalpik
Roleplaying experience ( What Roleplay servers have you played on before? Or what Roleplay games have you played before): This is my first Minecraft server dedicated to roleplaying. I have played on other roleplay-themed games, such as NationStates, as well as with my friends informally.
Age ( Please do not lie It won’t make you better): 13
Country/ Time zone: US - Pacific Standard (GMT-8)
Where did you find us?: I found out about this server from a friend (frodobaggins4 on here).
Why do you want to join us? (Please be a bit detailed): I enjoy Lord of the Rings, and this server seems like a good place to roleplay with other fans; it also seems like a good balance between conventional Minecraft and roleplaying, so I can do both at once. I would also have fun roleplaying with my friend who is already on the server.
IF you could choose a character from the list in the post, who would you want to be and why?: I would enjoy being Saruman because he is a minor evil from the series but isn't the main enemy, so not everyone would fight against me but I would still be a fairly important power.
Time you can give to this server(Everyday, or per week): I would probably be on for about an hour on most days.
Who are the Evil Characters of Lord of The Rings?: Smeagol/Gollum, Balrog, Sauron, Saruman, Orcs, Bill Ferny
Have you read the rules?: PIPPIN
What is RolePlaying for you? : Roleplaying is taking on a different personality and acting out scenarios that usually take place in another world or with a different theme (in this case LOTR.)
What is MetaGaming in your words? : Metagaming is when your character knows more than he should, or your character uses something that you know but that it would be impossible for him to know.
What is PowerGaming in your words? : Powergaming is forcing another character to do something unreasonably without the other player's consent, like making them stand still while you kill them or something.

Name(Please give your Character a name that fits with your race) : Calofas Took
Race(Go see the race section higher up. And is he a man or a woman): Hobbit, male
Age: 32
Character Backstory It should be about 2 paragraphs. 200 words and more about. And please no stories like this : His parents were killed by orcs. He trained, found the orcs, and slayed them all. The End. ( You cannot be anyone important in the server without being approved. You cannot already start out some one important, you need to work your way to the top.): Calofas Took was somewhat introverted, which showed very early in life. He could hold a conversation but often people were repelled from him because he was eccentric and didn't really talk much. His younger brother Ardobras was almost the opposite, until Calofas reached the age of 29, and their mother died of a fever. Ardobras became quiet and withdrawn, and now comparatively, Calofas was almost an extrovert. The death didn't seem to affect him very much, as he knew that he couldn't do anything about it. He tried to comfort his brother, but there was a grief inside both of them. Calofas respected the new lore interests of his brother Ardobras, but was now more talkative and more drawn to the outdoors, nature, and gardening.
Roleplay Example ( A conversation between your character and someone else. We want to see who well you can Roleplay ): Calofas walked inside, almost reluctant to leave the paradise of the outdoors. "I'm home! Ardobras, you'd never guess what I caught today."
Ardobras sighed. "Yet another butterfly? Our house is going to be full of them if this keeps up. But I have almost got our family tree sorted out, back to the time of the Stoors."
"Well, I guess that will be helpful. But I'd rather be outside than burrowed in books. Are you going to cook dinner tonight?"
Ardobras was silent, back to his lore. Calofas decided it was hopeless to try and drag him away, and went to find their father.
Personality traits: Slightly outgoing and quite adventuresome, but also studious. Looked up to by many, but repels a few.
Physical description or image of skin?: Moderately tall but also stocky (for a hobbit.) Sandy blonde hair and dark blue eyes. Dark-ish skin. I will get a new skin soon to match this.
Skills of your character : Quite a good marksman with a bow. Knows quite a bit about herbs and plants, as well as some animals (but usually quite small ones.) He can swim like his brother but is not so fond of it.
What is his ultimate goal? ( Ex: Becoming a king, owning the biggest farm, being the richest merchant in Gondor ) Calofas dreams to go to Gondor one day and become famous for his herbal knowledge. He also respects elves and wants to meet them one day.
Roleplaying experience ( What Roleplay servers have you played on before? Or what Roleplay games have you played before): Played on a few smaller LOTR (lord of the rings) servers and runescape, world of Warcraft, and a smaller game called The Dark Age of Camelot
Age ( Please do not lie It won’t make you better): 13

The End. ( You cannot be anyone important in the server without being approved. You cannot already start out some one important, you need to work your way to the top.):
Broc and his mother were abandoned shortly after he was born, and were left for dead in the forest were they lived. They were found by bandits who took them in and his mother fell in love with their leader. As Broc grew up, he dreamed of moving on out of his life of stealing and raiding, and finding a fresh start. When he was 16 he ran away to the land of Rohan, where he found shelter with a young blacksmith apprentice in Edoras.
The bandits tracked Brom to Edoras and attempted to kill him in his sleep. Their leader led a group into his home and was about to kill him when Broc awoke and stabbed him with an arrow. The bandits were killed by Rohan government yet Broc's mother was said to have been killed in the camp after he left. Broc worked for the blacksmith until king Theoden sought him out one day to join the army. Broc gladly excepted, realizing that this was his chance at a new life.

Age: 15
Country/ Time zone: U.S.A/ EST
Where did you find us?: Google
Why do you want to join us?: Hmm, let's see. When I was 7-8, I REALLY got into Lord of the Rings. I have played the hell out of almost every Lord of the Rings game out there, especially Battle for Middle-earth 1-2. I got minecraft last year, and have since been looking for a good LOTR roleplay server. I hope my search is over:)
IF you could choose a character from the list in the post, who would you want to be and why?: I would be a Gondorian Ranger, because they do not need strength in numbers, they could have 2-3 rangers and kill 20-30 orcs in the forest, and that's badass.

What is roleplaying to you?: Role-playing refers to the changing of one's behaviour to assume a role, either unconsciously to fill a social role, or consciously to act out an adopted role. While the Oxford English Dictionary offers a definition of role-playing as "the changing of one's behaviour to fulfill a social role",[1] in the field of psychology, the term is used more loosely in four senses:
To refer to the playing of roles generally such as in a theatre, or educational setting;
To refer to taking a role of an existing character or person and acting it out with a partner taking someone else's role, often involving different genres of practice;
What is metagaming in your words?: etagaming is a broad term usually used to define any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends a prescribed ruleset, uses external factors to affect the game, or goes beyond the supposed limits or environment set by the game. Another definition refers to the game universe outside of the game itself. In simple terms, it is the use of out-of-game information or resources to affect one's in-game decisions.
What is powergaming in your words?: Powergaming (or power gaming) is a style of interacting with games or game-like systems with the aim of maximising progress towards a specific goal, to the exclusion of other considerations such as (in video games, boardgames, and roleplaying games) storytelling, atmosphere and camaraderie. Due to its focus on the letter of the rules over the spirit of the rules, it is often seen as unsporting, un-fun, or unsociable. This behaviour is most often found in games with a wide range of game features, lengthy campaigns or prize tournaments such as role-playing, massively multiplayer or collectible games.[1]
Name: Isilvorn
Race: Human Gondorian Ranger, Male
Age: 17
Character Backstory: Isilvorn grew up in the city of MinasTirith as the son of a lower ranked captain of the guard. As a child, he was heavily interested in archery and swordsmanship. He shot at apples, and smacked around other children with a wooden sword his father bought, with their little money. When his father died of influenza, his only prized possession, a beautifully made steel sword he called Morier-rist, the elvish name for Dark Ones Bane, was passed to him. His mother wished to move away from Minas Tirith, so they made for the city of Osgiliath. However, in the wild, they encountered a band of orcs. They killed his mother, and he was knocked unconscious. When he awoke, he was in the place known as Henneth Anun, the haven of the rangers of Ithilien. They explained to him what happened, and he decided to become conscripted into the Rangers, and make a new legacy for his family.
Personality traits: Isilvorn is an independent and relentless man, who is a patriot, and thinks of Gondor as his family. He has a deep hatred of orcs, and will not hesitate to help any in need, even if it may kill him. He also has a mind sharper than most.
Physical description: He is a tall, darker skinned, well muscled young man with a dark mop of hair, with eyes the color of dirt. He is not unattractive, but not necessarily beautiful. He wears his father's sword, as well as garments of the rangers.
What is he/she good at?: He is an amazing sword fighter, but despite years of training, has no talent with a bow. The Rangers of Ithilien have taught him how to live off the land.
Roleplay Example:
Isilvorn: Traveler! Are you alright?
Wounded Traveler: No, I am... am... gra..vely wounded. Orks,.. they came upon us...
Isilvorn: I understand. My mount can hold you, we make for a safe haven. No harm will come to you, friend.
Ultimate Goal: Isilvorn wants to make a difference in the war and make a name of honour for his family.

Sorry, as we said we are re creating many things. Post will be changed, builds, etc. So we will probably slow down or even stop the whitelisting for a while stay tuned for new.
I submitted my app with a freshly created character, waited 24 hours to be white-listed.
Now, according to the newly released lore, I just learned my character died, and even if I create another one, I prolly won't be whitelisted in a while...

That is the lore for the NEW server. We are still in the Third Age. Elves aren't ghosts yet, no worries. ;D

Age: 15
Country/ Time zone: U.S.A/ EST
Where did you find us?: Google
Why do you want to join us?: Hmm, let's see. When I was 7-8, I REALLY got into Lord of the Rings. I have played the hell out of almost every Lord of the Rings game out there, especially Battle for Middle-earth 1-2. I got minecraft last year, and have since been looking for a good LOTR roleplay server. I hope my search is over:)
IF you could choose a character from the list in the post, who would you want to be and why?: I would be a Gondorian Ranger, because they do not need strength in numbers, they could have 2-3 rangers and kill 20-30 orcs in the forest, and that's badass.
Have you read the rules? Aye Pippin.
Who are the Evil Characters of Lord of The Rings?: Sauron, Saruman, Gollum, The Witch-King & His Nazgul.
Time you can give to this server: All day Tues. Thurs. Sunday, and 1-2 hours

What is roleplaying to you?: Role-playing refers to the changing of one's behaviour to assume a role, either unconsciously to fill a social role, or consciously to act out an adopted role. While the Oxford English Dictionary offers a definition of role-playing as "the changing of one's behaviour to fulfill a social role",[1] in the field of psychology, the term is used more loosely in four senses:
In simple terms, it is the use of out-of-game information or resources to affect one's in-game decisions.
What is powergaming in your words?: Powergaming (or power gaming) is a style of interacting with games or game-like systems with the aim of maximising progress towards a specific goal, to the exclusion of other considerations such as (in video games, boardgames, and roleplaying games) storytelling, atmosphere and camaraderie. Due to its focus on the letter of the rules over the spirit of the rules, it is often seen as unsporting, un-fun, or unsociable. This behaviour is most often found in games with a wide range of game features, lengthy campaigns or prize tournaments such as role-playing, massively multiplayer or collectible games.[1]
Name: Isilvorn
Race: Human Gondorian Ranger, Male
Age: 17
Character Backstory: Isilvorn grew up in the city of MinasTirith as the son of a lower ranked captain of the guard. As a child, he was heavily interested in archery and swordsmanship. He shot at apples, and smacked around other children with a wooden sword his father bought, with their little money. When his father died of influenza, his only prized possession, a beautifully made steel sword he called Morier-rist, the elvish name for Dark Ones Bane, was passed to him. His mother wished to move away from Minas Tirith, so they made for the city of Osgiliath. However, in the wild, they encountered a band of orcs. They killed his mother, and he was knocked unconscious. When he awoke, he was in the place known as Henneth Anun, the haven of the rangers of Ithilien. They explained to him what happened, and he decided to become conscripted into the Rangers, and make a new legacy for his family.
Personality traits: Isilvorn is an independent and relentless man, who is a patriot, and thinks of Gondor as his family. He has a deep hatred of orcs, and will not hesitate to help any in need, even if it may kill him. He also has a mind sharper than most.
Physical description: He is a tall, darker skinned, well muscled young man with a dark mop of hair, with eyes the color of dirt. He is not unattractive, but not necessarily beautiful. He wears his father's sword, as well as garments of the rangers.
Link to skin: http://www.minecraft.../gondor-ranger/ Note that my skin has removed the white tree, sorry, couldn't paste the picture.
What is he/she good at?: He is an amazing sword fighter, but despite years of training, has no talent with a bow. The Rangers of Ithilien have taught him how to live off the land.
Roleplay Example:
Isilvorn: Traveler! Are you alright?
Wounded Traveler: No, I am... am... gra..vely wounded. Orks,.. they came upon us...
Isilvorn: I understand. My mount can hold you, we make for a safe haven. No harm will come to you, friend.
Ultimate Goal: Isilvorn wants to make a difference in the war and make a name of honour for his family.

What is RolePlaying for you? : Mostly a hobby. A funny way to occupy my time. I like when real emotions gets to you while playing.
What is MetaGaming in your words? : Using information you got in real life, in the game. This is bad and lame.
What is PowerGaming in your words? : Acting in an overpowered way. Or not letting other people react. Or bypassing a rule just to be sure to win the game or something. Powertrips kills the fun, remember that your freedom stops where others's starts.
