brodiegray - Alright, gonna be frank here; you have potential, but as a whole it just needs to be fleshed out. A lot. Your bio is only 225 words, and the minimum is 400. We'd let it slide if it were maybe 350, but it's just waaaay too short. Same with the ICRs; we don't get a great feel for your character in those. They're maybe a sentence or two long. Again, we see potential, it just needs to be worked. You have two more tries; relax, take your time, and make it the best you can.
P.S.: Kinda love the Booker skin. Really fits the flying island theme.
I am having a TERRIBLE time coming up with a backstory. I've been on many servers, but this is giving me headache. I read over the lore over and over, but I can't seem to get a grip on things.
You can check out more lore on our forums. If that will help you a bit. Otherwise I'd recommend reading some of the more well done apps, such as Wheatley's and Riengo's on the first page, Tsev's, Welk's and I's on the second, and Sweetcosmo's on page 5.
Deremotive- Alright, first off, your character and his story does NOT fit a Medori at all. If you just changed your character to a citizen of the Chancellery, it'd work a lot better.
Secondly, your character is too OP. Give him better weaknesses, please. Because come on, how often is the master swordsman gonna be caught without a sword, man? >_>
Do you have a Skype? If so, what is your Skype Name? (This is by no means required and holds no weight on your acceptance. We just use Skype a lot): lol_turtle
Have you read all of the rules, agree to abide by them, and by the decisions of our staff?: Yes
What is the definition of “Powergaming”?: Powergaming is forcing roleplay on to someone else. By doing this you are ruining roleplay for them because it doesn't give that person an opportunity to roleplay. For example
*Stabs in throat* Where it should be *Swipes with throat with sword*
What is the definition of “Metagaming”?: Metagaming is using OOC information for RP use. For example if someone tells you about stuff in the forums or something, you can't know it in roleplay.
What is the definition of “Roleplay”?: Roleplay is where you play a specific role in a scene(s). Roleplay is also used on games as well as acts/plays and other related stuff. Roleplay can also be defined as playing a role in a society to help it.
Who can use flymod, X-ray and other such clientsided mods?: No one.
When are you allowed to cause the death of another character?: You can only cause the death of another character with special permission from that character's player.
When are you allowed to speak out of character?: If you need help from players / admins.
Have you read the primary server lore of our server and agree to roleplay in accordance with it?: Yes, I do.
Who is allowed to use magic?: You cannot start with magic, but you have to learn it from the Academy. Mages
Who are the Fallen?: The Fallen (Or the Medori) are people who have been seperated from other civilisations for awhile, although their island started moving towards another civilisation.
When and how did our current government come to be?: The Government came to power in 169 A.R. They have a branched system with 3 different Masters, Master of the Coin, Master of the Sword and Master of Words. They also have a leader.
Who are the Order of Aradin?: The Order of Aradin are protectors of the Government who are decreasing in numbers over time. They are also a religious group and follow a church.
What are the Net and Essence? The Essence and the Net are if you fall off, you are caught by a magical Net which will place you back on one of the islands. If you have 3 levels on you, you keep your items.
What previous roleplay experience have you had, if any?: I have played on one of your previous servers and I have played a lot of other RP servers. I know roleplay pretty well and I was introduced to Minecraft roleplay by my friend (Skyeti/Jaeden111).
If you have played on other RP servers, please say which and why you left: I played in BoH as I was told about it by Jaeden (Skyeti) so I joined it, although you guys switched to Shrines of the Ancients which I decided to stop roleplaying and focus on school. I have also played a really popular roleplay server which has died now, it was called Warstorm. There are also a lot of other ones but I forgot now.
Character Information
Name: Zachery Hyde (Zac for short)
Age: 20
Class: swordsman (but later wants to become a mage, he will ditch using swords and stuff as he would pledge to not as he would become a mage, to prevent being too op.)
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: chancellory
Physical description: Brown hair with a clean shaven beard. He has a fairly clean face, not too many scars and other facial features. He also has a red scarf with a brown shirt and a slightly lighter vest and brown brown pants.
Screen capture of your skin:
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.): Zachery lived in the Capitol for most of his life. He lived with a slightly poor family, mostly trying to focus on his education, but couldn't do a lot. His father was a retired guard, who was pretty lazy and rude. Zachery's mother was a Laborour who didn't get paid much. Without his father being unemployed and his mother getting paid minimal they weren't very rich and strugged to paid taxes. Although Zachery's father tried to teach him to be a fighter, as at the time, more guards were being needed. His father tried to teach him with the sword and how to protect himself. Zachery did excel but not a fast rate that his father was happy with. Then his mother tried to teach him to be a gentlemen, how to greet ladies and how to be exceptionally nice. Although Zachery was never a nice one, his dad was always rude to him. Which made brought Zachery up with thinking being rude was what to do. His mother tried to change him after that, but he was who he was. Zachery didn't really excel at that either. When he was about 15, he set out to find his own home and get his own job. He got a job as a guard at the time, just barely. Although 3 years after he started settling in with his job, at 18, Zachery found out about magic, reading about it in novels. There weren't that many novels at the time about magic, so he struggled to find some. These novels never taught him about magic, just got him more intrigued in it. He thought it looked interesting and wanted to follow it instead of being a boring guard, patrolling each day. But he found out it was no easy task, so he could follow it now, or leave it. He was sure he would get another oppoturnity at this, but he would stay a guard at the moment. At 20, he found out about the Academy's reopening, he had read that it taught about magic and such. Which was what he wanted to pursue. ((I read about the Academy's reopening on the forums)) Zachery finally decided that he wants to switch to magic and that hopefully some day he would walk out of the Academy, a new man, a new occupation and a new mind.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): He wishes to finally become a mage and pledge to not use swords once and if he becomes a mage.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Zachery is a strong guy, both physically and mentally. He also knows how to keep the place nice and tidy.
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 doesn't know about helping people that much, such as, he would help himself over others, he is ignorant. He also is afraid of falling off, even if he is caught by the net.
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.): Not at the moment.
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 armoured men harassing a young girl.
Zachery passes the men, being a guard himself, he questions them in his mind about what they are doing.
*Zachery walks over to the men*
Zachery: "Excuse me, but what are you doing?"
Guards: "This girl here insulted us"
Zachery: "Do what you want, but I don't think you just harass her over that."
Although Zachery doesn't really care and keeps patrolling.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
Zachery: "I already have enough riches, I don't need your petty little quest".
Man: "It will reward you".
Zachery: "I told you, I am fine, now get out of my way".
*The man walks in front of him and keeps being annoying*
Zachery: "I don't want to go..."
*Pushes man in to the wall and walks past him*
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Zachery, being ignorant as he is. Passes the man without noticing. But later passing him again, noticing but trying to ignore him as Zachery doesn't want to pass out any change at the moment.
Man: "Change sir?"
Zachery: "Sorry, none at the moment..."
Man: "Please?"
*Zachery tosses some copper pieces and walks off*
*The man tries to reply with a thank you, but isn't given the oppoturnity*.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
*Zachery stands up from the chair, trying to look as big as he can for intimidation*
Zachery says to the man with a booming voice "What did you say, can you repeat that?" he continues "I didn't hear it over your petty little mumbling."
The man decides to back off, but Zachery walks over, holds him by the collar and chucks him across the table, smashing some glasses.
The man tries to get up but stumbles to the ground, unconciously.
Zachery says "That'll teach you". Then walks out of the tavern.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
"That's a nice necklace miss, you might want to hold on to it, there are bad people around here." Zachery says as he looks around.
It was night time so he was probably right about that.
"Okay, thanks for the information sir." Replies the woman.
"Any day ma'am" Says Zachery politely as he could.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?

Character Information
Name: Eileen Hamilton
Age: 24
Class: Craftsman
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Chancellory
Physical description: Eileen has red hair, and a smile that radiates her friendliness. She stands at 5"11, and wears clothing that were passed down from her father. Her posture stands straight, and she is as thin as rails. Her skin is as pale as snow, and freckles covering most of her body.
Screen capture of your skin:
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.): Eileen was born in a small house, and was raised with her sister, her father, and her cat. Everything was simple, and everyone was happy. Eileen would bring home firewood and food, her sister would make sure everything was nice and organised, and her father got the money. The cat...well...the cat was there for Eileen, she will be explained later in the story.
Through her life, Eileen was a seemingly simple girl. She was pretty, she was smart, and she did what she was told. Though, never judge a book by it's cover. Beyond that little body and big brain, was a creative and hopeful soul. Eileen always loved to think. It was her favorite thing to do. She thought about how someday she will make a difference in the world...somehow. She always thought how things came to be, and how the world is so unique and special. Eileen thought she could do anything, that problems can't stop her. She was right, too...kinda...
At the age of 3, Eileen's mother became very ill. Eileen didn't know this at the time, but everyone else did. Eileen thought her mother just had a cold, or was tired more than usual. Eileen began to do more chores around the house, like cleaning the floors and picking up the toys. Simple stuff. After a while, Eileen noticed her mother began to act weird. Her mother became stressed, and a bit childish. Before you know it, she couldn't do anything, and she couldn't even stand correctly.
At the age of 5, Eileen's mother dies. This was never mentioned to Eileen, and she was always told that "She went to a better place, and she feels better now." Eileen felt happy hearing this, knowing her mother is in a better place. Though, it would be nice to see her every once in a while. Eileen felt lonely, and wanted to see her mother. It was ok though, she had a home, food, money, and a family. Eileen told herself to be happy, and that her mother was in a better place.
Throughout Eileen's life, she was given more and more chores, and she was ok with it. She did it, and it was done.
At the age of 12, Eileen's father told her that "The tradition must be passed down" and that she is ready to learn how to build and invent. Of course, Eileen said yes. Thus, beginning the biggest mistake of her life. Eileen's father brought her down to his workshop, and began to teach her the ways of mechanics. The first few days of training was just her being taught everything she needs to know about gears, nuts, bolts, wiring, and such. Eileen learned that quick. Then she learned about safety, and how to deal with tools and such. Then she moved onto the little parts of inventing, like screwing a lose bolt, or just passing her father the tools he needs. Then she was taught how to handle dangerous situations, and that was pretty hard for her.
Weeks and months passed, and she learned everything she needed to know. All she needed to do then was to build something useful, and to sell it to the public. (Uh oh..) For months, and then years, she attempted to build...SOMETHING! Everything failed, either because no one would want to buy it, or she failed to build it correctly, or it was just impossible to make. She just couldn't do it. Everything Eileen would try to make blew up in her face - literally. She didn't give up, though. She knew it was her destiny, and that she just needs a bit of practice.
On her 16th birthday, Eileen was given the best present she could ever be given; a little, cute, tabby cat. Eileen fell in love with it instantly. She didn't know what to name it, so she let the name come to her. After a while, she noticed that the cat somehow got the Mozzarella cheese from downstairs, and began to eat a whole chunk of it. Eileen noticed this, and named the cat Mozzarella, or "Mozz" for short. Eileen loved Mozzarella, and Mozzarella loved Eileen. Eileen then wondered if Mozzarella was her mother, but just in a cat. Afterwards, Eileen's love for Mozz became stronger. Eileen told her secrets, and Mozzy comforted Eileen whenever she got scared or lonely. Mozz was Eileen's best friend, and it will stay that way.
Years passed, and Eileen grew. When she knew it was time, she moved out of the house, and brought her tools and Mozzarella with her. Eileen didn't get any better at mechanics, but she still tries. Eileen thought that maybe some day, she will be able to build something helpful to everyone. So, as she walked away from her house, she held her head up high, and looked forward to her future.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To actually be good at something for once, and to finally INVENT SOMETHING THAT WORKS!
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Eileen is kind hearted, friendly, and an overall good person to be around. Eileen is that type of person that does good for goodness' sake, not because she is directed to by law or by whim. She is a determind spirit, who does not break easily. Her need to help others and reduce suffering may take precedence over all else.
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.): Though Eileen is an inventor, she can't invent if her life depended on it. She is a klutzy, flakey, easily distracted, slightly obnoxious woman. She is weak, and barely can keep her balance, even standing up. She always messes up on almost everything, and she just can't get the fact through her head that inventing is NOT what she is meant to do.
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..I don't think so...
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.)
(I am going to do this in different forms of literature, bear with me.)
Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armored men harassing a young girl.
As Eileen walks down the streets of the Capitol, and sees the pair of heavily armed and armored men harassing a young girl. Oh dear, she looks like she is in trouble... what should I do? Maybe I can create a distraction. Eileen thought to herself. Eileen reaches into her pocket and pulls out a firecracker. (Best place to put an explosive object: IN YOUR POCKET!) As she begins to light it up, she realizes that it was not a firecracker, but a bomb. She quickly throws it into the sewer drain, hoping it wouldn't explode. Sadly, she didn't hope enough, and the sewer explodes. Distracting the men, and everyone else, Eileen goes to the girl, takes her hand, and runs. (Oh god, this story is SO not getting me accepted.)
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded. "Where is Bloodstone?" Eileen asked. "Er....well...umm..." The man stutters as he tries to answer. "...Isn't that the place with the creepy monsters?" Eileen once again asked. "Well, yes...I mean not really...maybe-" The man stutters. "Not going, thanks anyways." Eileen interrupts the man, and walks away.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
As Eileen reaches into her pocket, she pulls out a few berries, and gives them to the man. "Thank you, Miss! Thank you!" The man exclaims, as he pops them into his mouth. Eileen walks away smiling, never actually realizing she gave him poisonous berries.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
"My mother isn't around, so I can't say that is false..." I stated with a blank expression. The man smirked, as he chugged down more of his drink. I wanted to hurt him, but I resisted the urge. Father wouldn't approve.
"You aren't denying it, so it must be true! Haha!" The man laughed. I couldn't deal with him anymore, so I grabbed him by the ear, and held him close to my face.
"Don't you EVER....EVER...talk about my mother like that..." I hissed at him, and I let him go.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Eileen: Excuse me, miss, that is a lovely necklace you have there, do you know where I can buy one like that?
Woman: Oh, my Uncle made it for me, it isn't being sold anywhere, I am sorry.
Eileen: Oh, well...Ok. Have a nice day though!
*Eileen and the Woman goes their separate ways*
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?: Not really...
bunnyfufu299- Your bio was great, unfortunately, it doesn't correspond with Medori culture. The Medori are a simple people, there aren't really any inventors. If your character was a citizen of the Chancellery things would make a lot more sense.

Age: 28
Class: Bladesman
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?:

Physical description:

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.):
Born to typical family of Citizens of the chancellery , his early life was a fairly average one, being born to two farmers. Being raised as a farm boy, Cosak labored with his family day and night to till the lands and grow their crop. From his and his family's hard work, they began to become well known in their surrounding community, becoming known for their hard work and riches, Until, a murder occurred. The man, Elrick Dozner, was the main competitor of the Sangero family and their only obstacle against them having control over the areas food supply. With this knowledge the Head family members of the Sangero family were prosecuted for the crime and were told to pick one of their family members banished, because they could not find solid evidence of them killing Elrick besides a knife, and along qith having all of their possessions taken and given to the Dozner family as compensation for Elrick's death. The Sangero family took votes on who would receive the banishment and were locked in stalemate until finally, Cosak's father volunteered himself for the Banishment. As he gathered his things to leave, Cosak's father, Danoth, talked to him on his last night
Cosak stood in the door way, while his father was putting his meager possessions into his bag. “Why?” questioned Cosak, voice trembling. “Why did you volunteer? Why not one of the elders? Why not my uncle?” Asked Cosak, his tone firming and turning angry. His father took a deep breath and turned to face him, putting his hand on his sons shoulder. “You could not understand my reason for doing this at such a young age, but one day you will learn. But before I leave, I must impart some of my knowledge to you. A single person can only do so much in his life before their time runs out, but during that time, that person must achieve one thing to die without remorse. That one achievement is To surpass their elders. When I am dead and gone and have met what ever lies beyond death, you will live on and continue my line. I give you this knowledge in good faith.” And with that, his father walked out of the room and out of Cosaks life
**********************************************************************************************************************************************.
With his father gone, Cosak and his siblings began to work to the best of their ability to keep his family afloat, but even then they could not entirely support their families. With their options running out, they were approached by a strange man with golden eyes and , who offered him along with a few other men a large reward if they simply accompany him to a far off island. The group agreed and boarded the ship, and began their journey to the island. For months, the ship was rocked by storms and forced them below deck. The journey was difficult and treacherous, causing what would be a week long journey to be a month long hellish experience. With the island in sight, they thought their troubles would be over. They were horribly mistaken. When the ship landed, the group was rushed outside and sent to scout the area, then set up a base camp to stay at for the time on the island. After spliting up and looking about they came upon a horrible discovery: The island was infested with the unholy and undead, seeking to kill them at every turn. Most of the party was killed while scouting and the few that made it back to the land area found the man and the ship gone, the only evidence that they had been there was a scrap of paper that read: “Welcome to bloodstone island. This will be your grave”
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
Using their meager supplies, they set up a rudimentary base camp, where Cosak met Desmond. Desmond was a professional mercenary and a ex-guard. The old man had signed up on the expedition under the impression that the man was rich and influential politician who could possibly get some favors done for him. Together they held the camp with the remaining band of men, hoping for rescue. During this time Desmond trained Cosak in the art of the blade and how to be a warrior with out relent.
The clash of the blades rang out across the camp, as Desmond and Cosak once again had another one of their training matches. In the beginning, there were only a few quick clangs before Cosak admitted defeat, but after much practicing in their make shift dueling arena, the fights got longer and longer, but they still ended in the same outcome: Cosak eventually gave in to Desmond. But one day the duel went on longer then usual. “Your getting better, my student, but you still haven't beat me yet!” said Desmond as he blocked another one of Cosak's strikes. “Well, I guess im going to have to change that, won't I?” Responded Cosak along with another lunge of his blade towards his abdomen, but as Desmond tried to parry the low strike, Casok raised the point of attack from the stomach to the chin. Desmond smiled as he dropped his sword. “Well done, my protege. I concede” Said Desmond as Cosak dropped down in exhaustion, smile on his face. One of the few he had while stuck on the living hell that was Bloodstone island.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
As his training continued and intensified, it seemed as though the monsters were edged on by their presence as more and more attacked the camp. In the beginning, only small raids of zombies would attack, which were easily taken care of and stripped of foods and valuables to aid the battalion of warriors, but before long, mobs of spiders, skeletons and even creepers began to the assault the base day after day and month after month. The constant battling began to wear the numbers thin when, finally, a sky ship was spotted. They burned any flammables they could find and tried to make as much sound as possible. As the skyship turned directions they began to cheer, until they heard the howls of the monsters. The creatures began to swarm the camp in the hundreds, tearing down any fortification in their way, demolishing the camp and any men foolish enough to try and stop them. As the group was pushed closer and closer to the edge of the camp, the skyship finally was above them. They lowered their ladder for the men to climb up on, and the few surviving men climbed aboard. Out of the forty men who joined the expedition, only 5 remained.
************************************************************************************************************************************************
The ship was privateer vessel who was looking for iron deposits when they saw them. The men joined the crew and began to work for the captain, Stukov Crosento, as warriors and sailors. As time passed, Cosak and Desmond grew to be close friends with Stukov, participating in many jobs and missions under his command, adding even more polish to Cosaks considerable skills. As their wealth grew and grew, Cosak began to worry for his family, So Stukov brought him and Desmond back to their home. When he reached there, he saw his family still lived in poverty and were surprised to see him alive. He had been gone for nine years. He offered his all his wealth to them and they gladly took it, allowing them to finally live as they had so many years ago. Cosak was entirely content with his life at this point when one day he was walking on road near his house and saw a notice. It read,”Looking for men to join expedition to far away island, and the reward is a fortune. As he read it, he looked down the road to see a man walking down it”.He knew him as the man who left him on the hell known as bloodstone island.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
He raced to desmond and told him what he saw. The two prepared and left for the meeting place of that the man had set, the exact same one they had gone to the day Cosak left home. As the man looked over the men he had gathered, seemingly happy with the selection, Cosak and Desmond unsheathed their blades and charged. The man had seemingly prepared for this and quickly took action, pulling out his blade as well. As the three dueled, the rest of the men scattered, hoping not to get caught in the cross fire.
Their blades all clashed at once, like a wave crashing into the beach. Even with his training and Desmond's mastery of the weapon, they could be barely keep up with him. As Cosak lunged close to the mans chest, the man moved like lightning and sidestepped. As he readied to slash his him,A shriek cried out, almost in human. Desmond had stabbed him in the back and punctured his side. He turned as fast as he could and slashed downwards, across Desmond's chest, then quickly fled to hi ship, leaving Desmond bleeding on the ground and Cosak dazed. As the ship flew away, Cosak staggered over to his master, and knelt down to him. Desmond whispered into his ear as he slowly died”My student, my time has come. You must do these two things for me. Kill that man that betrayed us and live in my place. Will you honor my wishes?” Cosak with a stern and cold face looked into his masters eyes. “I will.”
After Desmond died, Cosak began to train him self rigorously, almost fanatically, in hoping that one day he could defeat the man who had tried to kill him while also growing closer to his family, by preforming jobs and tasks for them so they could live above poverty. He also began to make more friends and reconect with ones he had lost long ago, but beneath his happiness, there lies a hunger that will only be satisfied when the man
who killed his master dies by his hands.
Strengths(Both physical and personality):
He is a very strong willed and calm person, able to continuously work on one objective years at a time and can keep himself stable overpressure. He can also tune out other things such as emotion or mercy when he feels like it is needed, per say if he needs to murder a person for a job, so he will not be bothered by the guilt that he might bring.
He is a accomplished swordsman, who knows his way around a fight and can preform amazing feats if able to get his hands on a sword. He is also extremely fast when it comes to swordplay.
He is also phyisically strong from many years of training, working in the fields,helping sail a skyship and fighting. He also considers him self a expert survivalist, capable of living in harsh places with little to no supplies given to him before hand. He also has rudimentary knowledge of skyship upkeep and sailing
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.):
Cosak at times can be described as being horribly obsessed at times when he gets him self into something deeply, like figuring out a mystery or some other event. This can range between him constantly asking people about them, and losing sleep, searching the town for awnesers all day and night.
He considers one of his few flaws to be commanding people and leading them in battle. He just does not have the abillity to keep up with mutiple fighters and fights across a battlefield.
He can also be very paranoid of other people, especially if they have the chance to back stab him and he makes people work to get his trust.he is especially paranoid of mages and magic users, seeing them as people who are incredibly dangerous and should be kept under strict supervision and magic as something only few should know. We can't have everyone running around with godlike powers.
Even though he tries to be nice while he is off of jobs, if he dislikes you, he will almost always dislike, and can hold grudges longer then most people would call normal, leaving him some times at odds when the person has overcome what made Cosak dislike them in the first place.
He is nearly defenseless when he does not have some sort of blade to fight back with since he was not taught as nearly as much on how to fight in hand to hand combat. He also has no skill with throwing knives.
He also very protective of his family and friends, willing to risk many things to save them.
He is also very over confident against other bladesman who challenge him, considering only a few people at his level and sometimes giving a bounty a chance to run if he thinks there is no way for them to escape him. If he thinks you are especially pathetic, he will only use a small dagger to fight you with or fight with with one arm behind his back.This can also be a problem with his social skills, as he will sometimes just consider him self better then the person he is talking to, wih or without knowledge of their preveious acomplishments. He has also taken on mutiple opponents, thinking that he could easily take them all on, only to find him self barely keeping up
Although he is strong from his training and constant fighting, his all out foot speed is only mediocre and leaves some to be wanting. In response to comments about this or seeing people run away from him, he usally reprimands it with "Fleeing is for cowards." He also lives by this rule, even if he thinks he will fail, rather having him self be called a loser rather then a coward.

M2: turns away from the girl and begins to raise his sword to preform a overhead strike

Man: Gulps and looks at Cosak “Well, Y-you can trust me not to do that. It seems as if you've had previous experience with bloodstone island?”

Deferred:
brodiegray - It's much improved, but his weaknesses are still a bit lacking. He seems a bit OP as well, and even though he wants to give up swords, he'll still know how to use them, and will most likely be able to if needed. However,an aversion to swords later can be counted as a weakness. This is your last shot, so make it count. Shouldn't be too hard.

Character Information
Name: Zachery Hyde (Zac for short)
Age: 20
Class: swordsman (but later wants to become a mage, he will ditch using swords and stuff as he would pledge to not as he would become a mage, to prevent being too op.)
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: chancellory
Physical description: Brown hair with a clean shaven beard. He has a fairly clean face, not too many scars and other facial features. He also has a red scarf with a brown shirt and a slightly lighter vest and brown brown pants.
Screen capture of your skin:
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.): Zachery lived in the Capitol for most of his life. He lived with a slightly poor family, mostly trying to focus on his education, but couldn't do a lot. His father was a retired guard, who was pretty lazy and rude. Zachery's mother was a Laborour who didn't get paid much. Without his father being unemployed and his mother getting paid minimal they weren't very rich and strugged to paid taxes. Although Zachery's father tried to teach him to be a fighter, as at the time, more guards were being needed. His father tried to teach him with the sword and how to protect himself. Zachery did excel but not a fast rate that his father was happy with. Then his mother tried to teach him to be a gentlemen, how to greet ladies and how to be exceptionally nice. Although Zachery was never a nice one, his dad was always rude to him. Which made brought Zachery up with thinking being rude was what to do. His mother tried to change him after that, but he was who he was. Zachery didn't really excel at that either. When he was about 15, he set out to find his own home and get his own job. He got a job as a guard at the time, just barely. Although 3 years after he started settling in with his job, at 18, Zachery found out about magic, reading about it in novels. There weren't that many novels at the time about magic, so he struggled to find some. These novels never taught him about magic, just got him more intrigued in it. He thought it looked interesting and wanted to follow it instead of being a boring guard, patrolling each day. But he found out it was no easy task, so he could follow it now, or leave it. He was sure he would get another oppoturnity at this, but he would stay a guard at the moment. At 20, he found out about the Academy's reopening, he had read that it taught about magic and such. Which was what he wanted to pursue. ((I read about the Academy's reopening on the forums)) Zachery finally decided that he wants to switch to magic and that hopefully some day he would walk out of the Academy, a new man, a new occupation and a new mind.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): He wishes to finally become a mage and pledge to not use swords once and if he becomes a mage.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Zachery is a strong guy, both physically and mentally. He also knows how to keep the place nice and tidy.
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 doesn't know about helping people that much, such as, he would help himself over others, he is ignorant. He also is afraid of falling off, even if he is caught by the net. This will be later in RP when he learns magic, but it will be a massive disadvantage to him, he will burn his hands from learning fire magic. This will make him unable to hold heavy stuff, such as swords. But will also disable the use of other things that are heavy.
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.): Not at the moment.
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 armoured men harassing a young girl.
Zachery passes the men, being a guard himself, he questions them in his mind about what they are doing.
*Zachery walks over to the men*
Zachery: "Excuse me, but what are you doing?"
Guards: "This girl here insulted us"
Zachery: "Do what you want, but I don't think you just harass her over that."
Although Zachery doesn't really care and keeps patrolling.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
Zachery: "I already have enough riches, I don't need your petty little quest".
Man: "It will reward you".
Zachery: "I told you, I am fine, now get out of my way".
*The man walks in front of him and keeps being annoying*
Zachery: "I don't want to go..."
*Pushes man in to the wall and walks past him*
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Zachery, being ignorant as he is. Passes the man without noticing. But later passing him again, noticing but trying to ignore him as Zachery doesn't want to pass out any change at the moment.
Man: "Change sir?"
Zachery: "Sorry, none at the moment..."
Man: "Please?"
*Zachery tosses some copper pieces and walks off*
*The man tries to reply with a thank you, but isn't given the oppoturnity*.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
*Zachery stands up from the chair, trying to look as big as he can for intimidation*
Zachery says to the man with a booming voice "What did you say, can you repeat that?" he continues "I didn't hear it over your petty little mumbling."
The man decides to back off, but Zachery walks over, holds him by the collar and chucks him across the table, smashing some glasses.
The man tries to get up but stumbles to the ground, unconciously.
Zachery says "That'll teach you". Then walks out of the tavern.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
"That's a nice necklace miss, you might want to hold on to it, there are bad people around here." Zachery says as he looks around.
It was night time so he was probably right about that.
"Okay, thanks for the information sir." Replies the woman.
"Any day ma'am" Says Zachery politely as he could.

Character Information
Name: Ricky Jones
Age: 24
Class: Ranger
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Citizen of the Chancellory
Physical description: Ricky is 5"11. He is a medium build, has dark blue eyes and brown hair. He wears a vest with his favorite bright red bow tie. He also wears a pair of black slacks and a pair of shoes to match his vest and bow tie.
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.): Ricky grew up in the Slums. When he was around 16 years old, he spent most of his free time doing work at the docks trying to earn money. One day, while he was working, a ship came in with a lot of expensive cargo. All of the people aboard the ship were bragging about how rich they had become from running their business. They threw money onto the docks and laughed as people scrambled to pick it up. Ricky saw how truly powerful these men were. He immediately went and asked them if they needed another worker. They all laughed at Ricky’s ridiculous request and told him to go home. On that walk home, something in Ricky changed. He vowed to himself that he would become even more powerful than those men on that ship. He would become the wealthiest and most powerful man by any means possible. The next day Ricky took all his money from his job and invested it in shoe polish and a chair. Ricky went down to the market and started a shoe shining business. He knew that he would have to start off small if he wanted to reach his bigger goals. After a few weeks passed, Ricky started to make some decent profit. His parents were so proud that they bought him a red bowtie so he could look more professional. Then, after a long day of shining people’s shoes, he walked home to discover that his family had been robbed. All of his earnings were gone. All Ricky had left was his red bowtie. The next day, while Ricky was shining someone’s shoes, some money fell out of their pocket. Then, the man got up, paid Ricky, and walked away. Ricky picked up the money and turned to the man, but no words came out of his mouth. He realized that he just made a day’s worth of profit from that one man. Ricky realized that he could get to the top this way. Taking a little bit here and there from people wouldn’t hurt anyone, and he would make a lot more. After two years of this, Ricky had his own small fortune. He could finally start his dream. Ricky bought some nice clothes from a store and put on his favorite bow tie. It was time for him to go and make some money. It was time for him to become powerful. It was time for him to become what he wanted.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To become the most wealthy and powerful man
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Ricky's main strength comes from his way with words. He relies on his brain more than his brawn. He is also agile.
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.): Ricky is not a strong fighter. He is fairly weak.
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.): Nope
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 armoured men harassing a young girl. Ricky would glance over and take a good look at the girl. He would start to consider how much money she would give if he saved her. After thinking that she would give a some money for saving her, Ricky would walk over to the guards and tell them that a murder is happening a few streets over. After the guards leave, Ricky would try to convince the girl to pay him for rescuing her.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded. Ricky would look the man right in the eyes and ask how great would the reward be. After hearing that it would be very great, he would grab his gear and catch the next airship to Bloodstone.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food. Growing up in the Slums, this sight would cause Ricky to think about his life when he grew up and how poor he use to be. Ricky would then give some food and money to the old man and proceed to walk away.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother. Ricky would buy the man a few more drinks, getting him full out drunk, and after the man passes out, Ricky would take some of his things and walk off.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears. Ricky would turn around and start to talk to her. Ricky would then try to get here intoxicated at the closest tavern and take the necklace at the first chance he gets.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore? One major question I have is what kind of talk is the rp. Would it be more like the industrial times? Also, I was wondering about the Villian Applications, I dont want to start out as a full on villian, but I want to be able to cause a little trouble here and there, using words more than anything. I saw the part in the application about inspiring rebellions but I dont think my character would go that far. So would I have to fill out a Villian app for my Character
Other notes: Hoping to have some fun on this server, the idea looks new and it sounds like the community is good sorry about the weird text changes :/ chrome seems to do it when I copy and paste on MCforums

Uploaded with ImageShack.us 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.):
My character was raised by 2 caring parents along with his brother, He lived in a town that valued family legacy, and the family name. He chose the life style of a miner, and spent a lot time in the mines gathering resources for his fathers store. he always wanted to make a store himself, and counted on getting the Fathers store when he passed away, he knew he would be able to handle it good with hes brother by hes side, because the Father taught them both alot about shopkepping. Gr'amir wanted to settle down with the girl he always dreamt about in a young age, he spent alot of his younger days on day dreaming.
When he became a teenager the town seemed to become more poor and poor, people started to need to struggle for food and survival of the family, and work harder, so the mines were filled at all times, so there werent much minerals left in the end, but Gr'amir kept working there, but when he got home, his mother and father argued, because of the money struggling, his mother meant they should stop working in the mine beacause of the low outcome of minerals, but his father was against it, he had always sold minerals from the mines and refused to change his way of living.
He meant that when you start something, you finish it to the end of your days, that arguement made so much hatred in the family his mother left.
sa his mother left the hatred growed, his brother left soon after to start a new life as a woodcutter in the forest. His father told Gr'amir to go after his brother and get him back home so they could continue the work in the mines, and so Gr'amir did, he found his brother and talked to him, but the brother refused to get back home, so in the believe that is was right he burned the forest down so his brother got out of work and had to come back, he just forgot to think that it was the only food source left in the area of the town. After that the town started to hate him, and meant he had dishonored the family. His father had never loved him so much for getting his brother back in the family busniess eventhought it hurted the whole city.
The family shop started to lose customers and money, the income started to become an outcome, and in the end, the family couldn't afford to keep the shop running.
So his father had no other option then to ask his sons to leave to another place and start a new shop there, he could barely afford food for himself, so he could see it was the only solution.
A couple of weeks after Gr'amir and his brother left their hometown to start on a fresh, they packed the food they could find from the burned forest and took the money their father could spare, and so they left, but on the way to the new city Gr'amir and his brother got away from each other, he saw no other option than to continue his journey.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation):
To become a respected shop keeper with good financial, and if possible make a church. Strengths (Both physical and personality):
Able to handle himself in the mines, and also can make decision fast and possible right.
can withstand most mind pain. 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.):Has a weakness for people less fortunate and can easily be drawn into wrong company.
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.):
Nope, not yet.
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 armoured men harassing a young girl. I walk close to see what is going on, and will do my best to see if there is a way to help the girl if she havent given them a reason for the harrasment. Else, i would walk right by only with a bad taste in my mouth.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded. If it was a great reward i would easily be distracted to doing the wrong thing, but i would try to keep my mind on doing whats best for everyone.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food. I give him most of the food that i am currently holding, and offer him a place to stay for a few nights, Possibly offering him a job if i could.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother. I try to keep my anger down, and tell him that hes bad mouth and trash talking will get him nowhere.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears. I give compliments to the lady and asks her if the necklace is somewhat holding a value to her. If she is interrested in selling it, i probaly would buy it.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore? nope
minebuilder00- There were quite a few things wrong with your app. Let's go over them.
First off, you got multiple lore questions wrong. You should read over ALL the lore before applying, as stated in the OP. Not some of it. There isn't any compromising on this subject, I'm afraid.
Secondly, you had multiple spelling and grammar mistakes. It made some parts of your application difficult to understand. If English is not your first language, it's understandable, but this is an English speaking server and community, and you'll need to be able to keep up in order to RP with us.
Thirdly, your character's biography was poorly written and rather boring, sorry to say. Some parts of it just didn't make any sense.. Did it REALLY make sense for him to burn down an entire village..? Wasn't he worried about hurting his brother..? Wasn't he worried about the effects that'd have on his village..?
And Lastly, your character didn't have any real weaknesses. Also, your character wouldn't be able to mine, as he was a craftsman.
Thanks for taking the time to fill out the app, though. Good luck finding another RP server!
Also, @Cheddar, your app is under review by one of the other Whitelisters. We thank you for your patience.
brodiegray - Alright, gonna be frank here; you have potential, but as a whole it just needs to be fleshed out. A lot. Your bio is only 225 words, and the minimum is 400. We'd let it slide if it were maybe 350, but it's just waaaay too short. Same with the ICRs; we don't get a great feel for your character in those. They're maybe a sentence or two long. Again, we see potential, it just needs to be worked. You have two more tries; relax, take your time, and make it the best you can.
P.S.: Kinda love the Booker skin. Really fits the flying island theme.
I'm a man of few words and many voices.
gonna work on it now should be done soon
and thanx i agree on the booker skin
Deremotive- Alright, first off, your character and his story does NOT fit a Medori at all. If you just changed your character to a citizen of the Chancellery, it'd work a lot better.
Secondly, your character is too OP. Give him better weaknesses, please. Because come on, how often is the master swordsman gonna be caught without a sword, man? >_>
Anyway, fix those up, and you'll be good to go.

Character Information
Name: Zachery Hyde (Zac for short)
Age: 20
Class: swordsman (but later wants to become a mage, he will ditch using swords and stuff as he would pledge to not as he would become a mage, to prevent being too op.)
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: chancellory
Physical description: Brown hair with a clean shaven beard. He has a fairly clean face, not too many scars and other facial features. He also has a red scarf with a brown shirt and a slightly lighter vest and brown brown pants.
Screen capture of your skin:
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.): Zachery lived in the Capitol for most of his life. He lived with a slightly poor family, mostly trying to focus on his education, but couldn't do a lot. His father was a retired guard, who was pretty lazy and rude. Zachery's mother was a Laborour who didn't get paid much. Without his father being unemployed and his mother getting paid minimal they weren't very rich and strugged to paid taxes. Although Zachery's father tried to teach him to be a fighter, as at the time, more guards were being needed. His father tried to teach him with the sword and how to protect himself. Zachery did excel but not a fast rate that his father was happy with. Then his mother tried to teach him to be a gentlemen, how to greet ladies and how to be exceptionally nice. Although Zachery was never a nice one, his dad was always rude to him. Which made brought Zachery up with thinking being rude was what to do. His mother tried to change him after that, but he was who he was. Zachery didn't really excel at that either. When he was about 15, he set out to find his own home and get his own job. He got a job as a guard at the time, just barely. Although 3 years after he started settling in with his job, at 18, Zachery found out about magic, reading about it in novels. There weren't that many novels at the time about magic, so he struggled to find some. These novels never taught him about magic, just got him more intrigued in it. He thought it looked interesting and wanted to follow it instead of being a boring guard, patrolling each day. But he found out it was no easy task, so he could follow it now, or leave it. He was sure he would get another oppoturnity at this, but he would stay a guard at the moment. At 20, he found out about the Academy's reopening, he had read that it taught about magic and such. Which was what he wanted to pursue. ((I read about the Academy's reopening on the forums)) Zachery finally decided that he wants to switch to magic and that hopefully some day he would walk out of the Academy, a new man, a new occupation and a new mind.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): He wishes to finally become a mage and pledge to not use swords once and if he becomes a mage.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Zachery is a strong guy, both physically and mentally. He also knows how to keep the place nice and tidy.
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 doesn't know about helping people that much, such as, he would help himself over others, he is ignorant. He also is afraid of falling off, even if he is caught by the net.
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.): Not at the moment.
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 armoured men harassing a young girl.
Zachery passes the men, being a guard himself, he questions them in his mind about what they are doing.
*Zachery walks over to the men*
Zachery: "Excuse me, but what are you doing?"
Guards: "This girl here insulted us"
Zachery: "Do what you want, but I don't think you just harass her over that."
Although Zachery doesn't really care and keeps patrolling.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
Zachery: "I already have enough riches, I don't need your petty little quest".
Man: "It will reward you".
Zachery: "I told you, I am fine, now get out of my way".
*The man walks in front of him and keeps being annoying*
Zachery: "I don't want to go..."
*Pushes man in to the wall and walks past him*
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Zachery, being ignorant as he is. Passes the man without noticing. But later passing him again, noticing but trying to ignore him as Zachery doesn't want to pass out any change at the moment.
Man: "Change sir?"
Zachery: "Sorry, none at the moment..."
Man: "Please?"
*Zachery tosses some copper pieces and walks off*
*The man tries to reply with a thank you, but isn't given the oppoturnity*.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
*Zachery stands up from the chair, trying to look as big as he can for intimidation*
Zachery says to the man with a booming voice "What did you say, can you repeat that?" he continues "I didn't hear it over your petty little mumbling."
The man decides to back off, but Zachery walks over, holds him by the collar and chucks him across the table, smashing some glasses.
The man tries to get up but stumbles to the ground, unconciously.
Zachery says "That'll teach you". Then walks out of the tavern.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
"That's a nice necklace miss, you might want to hold on to it, there are bad people around here." Zachery says as he looks around.
It was night time so he was probably right about that.
"Okay, thanks for the information sir." Replies the woman.
"Any day ma'am" Says Zachery politely as he could.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?
Not at the moment thank you

Character Information
Name: Eileen Hamilton
Age: 24
Class: Craftsman
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Chancellory
Physical description: Eileen has red hair, and a smile that radiates her friendliness. She stands at 5"11, and wears clothing that were passed down from her father. Her posture stands straight, and she is as thin as rails. Her skin is as pale as snow, and freckles covering most of her body.
Screen capture of your skin:
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.): Eileen was born in a small house, and was raised with her sister, her father, and her cat. Everything was simple, and everyone was happy. Eileen would bring home firewood and food, her sister would make sure everything was nice and organised, and her father got the money. The cat...well...the cat was there for Eileen, she will be explained later in the story.
Through her life, Eileen was a seemingly simple girl. She was pretty, she was smart, and she did what she was told. Though, never judge a book by it's cover. Beyond that little body and big brain, was a creative and hopeful soul. Eileen always loved to think. It was her favorite thing to do. She thought about how someday she will make a difference in the world...somehow. She always thought how things came to be, and how the world is so unique and special. Eileen thought she could do anything, that problems can't stop her. She was right, too...kinda...
At the age of 3, Eileen's mother became very ill. Eileen didn't know this at the time, but everyone else did. Eileen thought her mother just had a cold, or was tired more than usual. Eileen began to do more chores around the house, like cleaning the floors and picking up the toys. Simple stuff. After a while, Eileen noticed her mother began to act weird. Her mother became stressed, and a bit childish. Before you know it, she couldn't do anything, and she couldn't even stand correctly.
At the age of 5, Eileen's mother dies. This was never mentioned to Eileen, and she was always told that "She went to a better place, and she feels better now." Eileen felt happy hearing this, knowing her mother is in a better place. Though, it would be nice to see her every once in a while. Eileen felt lonely, and wanted to see her mother. It was ok though, she had a home, food, money, and a family. Eileen told herself to be happy, and that her mother was in a better place.
Throughout Eileen's life, she was given more and more chores, and she was ok with it. She did it, and it was done.
At the age of 12, Eileen's father told her that "The tradition must be passed down" and that she is ready to learn how to build and invent. Of course, Eileen said yes. Thus, beginning the biggest mistake of her life. Eileen's father brought her down to his workshop, and began to teach her the ways of mechanics. The first few days of training was just her being taught everything she needs to know about gears, nuts, bolts, wiring, and such. Eileen learned that quick. Then she learned about safety, and how to deal with tools and such. Then she moved onto the little parts of inventing, like screwing a lose bolt, or just passing her father the tools he needs. Then she was taught how to handle dangerous situations, and that was pretty hard for her.
Weeks and months passed, and she learned everything she needed to know. All she needed to do then was to build something useful, and to sell it to the public. (Uh oh..) For months, and then years, she attempted to build...SOMETHING! Everything failed, either because no one would want to buy it, or she failed to build it correctly, or it was just impossible to make. She just couldn't do it. Everything Eileen would try to make blew up in her face - literally. She didn't give up, though. She knew it was her destiny, and that she just needs a bit of practice.
On her 16th birthday, Eileen was given the best present she could ever be given; a little, cute, tabby cat. Eileen fell in love with it instantly. She didn't know what to name it, so she let the name come to her. After a while, she noticed that the cat somehow got the Mozzarella cheese from downstairs, and began to eat a whole chunk of it. Eileen noticed this, and named the cat Mozzarella, or "Mozz" for short. Eileen loved Mozzarella, and Mozzarella loved Eileen. Eileen then wondered if Mozzarella was her mother, but just in a cat. Afterwards, Eileen's love for Mozz became stronger. Eileen told her secrets, and Mozzy comforted Eileen whenever she got scared or lonely. Mozz was Eileen's best friend, and it will stay that way.
Years passed, and Eileen grew. When she knew it was time, she moved out of the house, and brought her tools and Mozzarella with her. Eileen didn't get any better at mechanics, but she still tries. Eileen thought that maybe some day, she will be able to build something helpful to everyone. So, as she walked away from her house, she held her head up high, and looked forward to her future.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To actually be good at something for once, and to finally INVENT SOMETHING THAT WORKS!
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Eileen is kind hearted, friendly, and an overall good person to be around. Eileen is that type of person that does good for goodness' sake, not because she is directed to by law or by whim. She is a determind spirit, who does not break easily. Her need to help others and reduce suffering may take precedence over all else.
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.): Though Eileen is an inventor, she can't invent if her life depended on it. She is a klutzy, flakey, easily distracted, slightly obnoxious woman. She is weak, and barely can keep her balance, even standing up. She always messes up on almost everything, and she just can't get the fact through her head that inventing is NOT what she is meant to do.
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..I don't think so...
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.)
(I am going to do this in different forms of literature, bear with me.)
Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armored men harassing a young girl.
As Eileen walks down the streets of the Capitol, and sees the pair of heavily armed and armored men harassing a young girl. Oh dear, she looks like she is in trouble... what should I do? Maybe I can create a distraction. Eileen thought to herself. Eileen reaches into her pocket and pulls out a firecracker. (Best place to put an explosive object: IN YOUR POCKET!) As she begins to light it up, she realizes that it was not a firecracker, but a bomb. She quickly throws it into the sewer drain, hoping it wouldn't explode. Sadly, she didn't hope enough, and the sewer explodes. Distracting the men, and everyone else, Eileen goes to the girl, takes her hand, and runs. (Oh god, this story is SO not getting me accepted.)
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
"Where is Bloodstone?" Eileen asked.
"Er....well...umm..." The man stutters as he tries to answer.
"...Isn't that the place with the creepy monsters?" Eileen once again asked.
"Well, yes...I mean not really...maybe-" The man stutters.
"Not going, thanks anyways." Eileen interrupts the man, and walks away.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
As Eileen reaches into her pocket, she pulls out a few berries, and gives them to the man.
"Thank you, Miss! Thank you!" The man exclaims, as he pops them into his mouth.
Eileen walks away smiling, never actually realizing she gave him poisonous berries.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
"My mother isn't around, so I can't say that is false..." I stated with a blank expression. The man smirked, as he chugged down more of his drink. I wanted to hurt him, but I resisted the urge. Father wouldn't approve.
"You aren't denying it, so it must be true! Haha!" The man laughed. I couldn't deal with him anymore, so I grabbed him by the ear, and held him close to my face.
"Don't you EVER....EVER...talk about my mother like that..." I hissed at him, and I let him go.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Eileen: Excuse me, miss, that is a lovely necklace you have there, do you know where I can buy one like that?
Woman: Oh, my Uncle made it for me, it isn't being sold anywhere, I am sorry.
Eileen: Oh, well...Ok. Have a nice day though!
*Eileen and the Woman goes their separate ways*
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?: Not really...

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.):
Born to typical family of Citizens of the chancellery , his early life was a fairly average one, being born to two farmers. Being raised as a farm boy, Cosak labored with his family day and night to till the lands and grow their crop. From his and his family's hard work, they began to become well known in their surrounding community, becoming known for their hard work and riches, Until, a murder occurred. The man, Elrick Dozner, was the main competitor of the Sangero family and their only obstacle against them having control over the areas food supply. With this knowledge the Head family members of the Sangero family were prosecuted for the crime and were told to pick one of their family members banished, because they could not find solid evidence of them killing Elrick besides a knife, and along qith having all of their possessions taken and given to the Dozner family as compensation for Elrick's death. The Sangero family took votes on who would receive the banishment and were locked in stalemate until finally, Cosak's father volunteered himself for the Banishment. As he gathered his things to leave, Cosak's father, Danoth, talked to him on his last night
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
Cosak stood in the door way, while his father was putting his meager possessions into his bag. “Why?” questioned Cosak, voice trembling. “Why did you volunteer? Why not one of the elders? Why not my uncle?” Asked Cosak, his tone firming and turning angry. His father took a deep breath and turned to face him, putting his hand on his sons shoulder. “You could not understand my reason for doing this at such a young age, but one day you will learn. But before I leave, I must impart some of my knowledge to you. A single person can only do so much in his life before their time runs out, but during that time, that person must achieve one thing to die without remorse. That one achievement is To surpass their elders. When I am dead and gone and have met what ever lies beyond death, you will live on and continue my line. I give you this knowledge in good faith.” And with that, his father walked out of the room and out of Cosaks life
**********************************************************************************************************************************************.
With his father gone, Cosak and his siblings began to work to the best of their ability to keep his family afloat, but even then they could not entirely support their families. With their options running out, they were approached by a strange man with golden eyes and , who offered him along with a few other men a large reward if they simply accompany him to a far off island. The group agreed and boarded the ship, and began their journey to the island. For months, the ship was rocked by storms and forced them below deck. The journey was difficult and treacherous, causing what would be a week long journey to be a month long hellish experience. With the island in sight, they thought their troubles would be over. They were horribly mistaken. When the ship landed, the group was rushed outside and sent to scout the area, then set up a base camp to stay at for the time on the island. After spliting up and looking about they came upon a horrible discovery: The island was infested with the unholy and undead, seeking to kill them at every turn. Most of the party was killed while scouting and the few that made it back to the land area found the man and the ship gone, the only evidence that they had been there was a scrap of paper that read: “Welcome to bloodstone island. This will be your grave”
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
Using their meager supplies, they set up a rudimentary base camp, where Cosak met Desmond. Desmond was a professional mercenary and a ex-guard. The old man had signed up on the expedition under the impression that the man was rich and influential politician who could possibly get some favors done for him. Together they held the camp with the remaining band of men, hoping for rescue. During this time Desmond trained Cosak in the art of the blade and how to be a warrior with out relent.
The clash of the blades rang out across the camp, as Desmond and Cosak once again had another one of their training matches. In the beginning, there were only a few quick clangs before Cosak admitted defeat, but after much practicing in their make shift dueling arena, the fights got longer and longer, but they still ended in the same outcome: Cosak eventually gave in to Desmond. But one day the duel went on longer then usual. “Your getting better, my student, but you still haven't beat me yet!” said Desmond as he blocked another one of Cosak's strikes. “Well, I guess im going to have to change that, won't I?” Responded Cosak along with another lunge of his blade towards his abdomen, but as Desmond tried to parry the low strike, Casok raised the point of attack from the stomach to the chin. Desmond smiled as he dropped his sword. “Well done, my protege. I concede” Said Desmond as Cosak dropped down in exhaustion, smile on his face. One of the few he had while stuck on the living hell that was Bloodstone island.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
As his training continued and intensified, it seemed as though the monsters were edged on by their presence as more and more attacked the camp. In the beginning, only small raids of zombies would attack, which were easily taken care of and stripped of foods and valuables to aid the battalion of warriors, but before long, mobs of spiders, skeletons and even creepers began to the assault the base day after day and month after month. The constant battling began to wear the numbers thin when, finally, a sky ship was spotted. They burned any flammables they could find and tried to make as much sound as possible. As the skyship turned directions they began to cheer, until they heard the howls of the monsters. The creatures began to swarm the camp in the hundreds, tearing down any fortification in their way, demolishing the camp and any men foolish enough to try and stop them. As the group was pushed closer and closer to the edge of the camp, the skyship finally was above them. They lowered their ladder for the men to climb up on, and the few surviving men climbed aboard. Out of the forty men who joined the expedition, only 5 remained.
************************************************************************************************************************************************
The ship was privateer vessel who was looking for iron deposits when they saw them. The men joined the crew and began to work for the captain, Stukov Crosento, as warriors and sailors. As time passed, Cosak and Desmond grew to be close friends with Stukov, participating in many jobs and missions under his command, adding even more polish to Cosaks considerable skills. As their wealth grew and grew, Cosak began to worry for his family, So Stukov brought him and Desmond back to their home. When he reached there, he saw his family still lived in poverty and were surprised to see him alive. He had been gone for nine years. He offered his all his wealth to them and they gladly took it, allowing them to finally live as they had so many years ago. Cosak was entirely content with his life at this point when one day he was walking on road near his house and saw a notice. It read,”Looking for men to join expedition to far away island, and the reward is a fortune. As he read it, he looked down the road to see a man walking down it”.He knew him as the man who left him on the hell known as bloodstone island.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
He raced to desmond and told him what he saw. The two prepared and left for the meeting place of that the man had set, the exact same one they had gone to the day Cosak left home. As the man looked over the men he had gathered, seemingly happy with the selection, Cosak and Desmond unsheathed their blades and charged. The man had seemingly prepared for this and quickly took action, pulling out his blade as well. As the three dueled, the rest of the men scattered, hoping not to get caught in the cross fire.
Their blades all clashed at once, like a wave crashing into the beach. Even with his training and Desmond's mastery of the weapon, they could be barely keep up with him. As Cosak lunged close to the mans chest, the man moved like lightning and sidestepped. As he readied to slash his him,A shriek cried out, almost in human. Desmond had stabbed him in the back and punctured his side. He turned as fast as he could and slashed downwards, across Desmond's chest, then quickly fled to hi ship, leaving Desmond bleeding on the ground and Cosak dazed. As the ship flew away, Cosak staggered over to his master, and knelt down to him. Desmond whispered into his ear as he slowly died”My student, my time has come. You must do these two things for me. Kill that man that betrayed us and live in my place. Will you honor my wishes?” Cosak with a stern and cold face looked into his masters eyes. “I will.”
*************************************************************************************************************************************************
After Desmond died, Cosak began to train him self rigorously, almost fanatically, in hoping that one day he could defeat the man who had tried to kill him while also growing closer to his family, by preforming jobs and tasks for them so they could live above poverty. He also began to make more friends and reconect with ones he had lost long ago, but beneath his happiness, there lies a hunger that will only be satisfied when the man
who killed his master dies by his hands.
Strengths(Both physical and personality):
He is a very strong willed and calm person, able to continuously work on one objective years at a time and can keep himself stable overpressure. He can also tune out other things such as emotion or mercy when he feels like it is needed, per say if he needs to murder a person for a job, so he will not be bothered by the guilt that he might bring.
He is a accomplished swordsman, who knows his way around a fight and can preform amazing feats if able to get his hands on a sword. He is also extremely fast when it comes to swordplay.
He is also phyisically strong from many years of training, working in the fields,helping sail a skyship and fighting. He also considers him self a expert survivalist, capable of living in harsh places with little to no supplies given to him before hand. He also has rudimentary knowledge of skyship upkeep and sailing
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.):
Cosak at times can be described as being horribly obsessed at times when he gets him self into something deeply, like figuring out a mystery or some other event. This can range between him constantly asking people about them, and losing sleep, searching the town for awnesers all day and night.
He considers one of his few flaws to be commanding people and leading them in battle. He just does not have the abillity to keep up with mutiple fighters and fights across a battlefield.
He can also be very paranoid of other people, especially if they have the chance to back stab him and he makes people work to get his trust.he is especially paranoid of mages and magic users, seeing them as people who are incredibly dangerous and should be kept under strict supervision and magic as something only few should know. We can't have everyone running around with godlike powers.
Even though he tries to be nice while he is off of jobs, if he dislikes you, he will almost always dislike, and can hold grudges longer then most people would call normal, leaving him some times at odds when the person has overcome what made Cosak dislike them in the first place.
He is nearly defenseless when he does not have some sort of blade to fight back with since he was not taught as nearly as much on how to fight in hand to hand combat. He also has no skill with throwing knives.
He also very protective of his family and friends, willing to risk many things to save them.
He is also very over confident against other bladesman who challenge him, considering only a few people at his level and sometimes giving a bounty a chance to run if he thinks there is no way for them to escape him. If he thinks you are especially pathetic, he will only use a small dagger to fight you with or fight with with one arm behind his back.This can also be a problem with his social skills, as he will sometimes just consider him self better then the person he is talking to, wih or without knowledge of their preveious acomplishments. He has also taken on mutiple opponents, thinking that he could easily take them all on, only to find him self barely keeping up
Although he is strong from his training and constant fighting, his all out foot speed is only mediocre and leaves some to be wanting. In response to comments about this or seeing people run away from him, he usally reprimands it with "Fleeing is for cowards." He also lives by this rule, even if he thinks he will fail, rather having him self be called a loser rather then a coward.

Man: Gulps and looks at Cosak “Well, Y-you can trust me not to do that. It seems as if you've had previous experience with bloodstone island?”

C: He looks at it for a while before losing interest.”Why would I wear a woman necklace” he Jokes to him self before returning to his daily activity’s
brodiegray - It's much improved, but his weaknesses are still a bit lacking. He seems a bit OP as well, and even though he wants to give up swords, he'll still know how to use them, and will most likely be able to if needed. However,an aversion to swords later can be counted as a weakness. This is your last shot, so make it count. Shouldn't be too hard.
I'm a man of few words and many voices.

Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: chancellory
Physical description: Brown hair with a clean shaven beard. He has a fairly clean face, not too many scars and other facial features. He also has a red scarf with a brown shirt and a slightly lighter vest and brown brown pants.
Screen capture of your skin:
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.): Zachery lived in the Capitol for most of his life. He lived with a slightly poor family, mostly trying to focus on his education, but couldn't do a lot. His father was a retired guard, who was pretty lazy and rude. Zachery's mother was a Laborour who didn't get paid much. Without his father being unemployed and his mother getting paid minimal they weren't very rich and strugged to paid taxes. Although Zachery's father tried to teach him to be a fighter, as at the time, more guards were being needed. His father tried to teach him with the sword and how to protect himself. Zachery did excel but not a fast rate that his father was happy with. Then his mother tried to teach him to be a gentlemen, how to greet ladies and how to be exceptionally nice. Although Zachery was never a nice one, his dad was always rude to him. Which made brought Zachery up with thinking being rude was what to do. His mother tried to change him after that, but he was who he was. Zachery didn't really excel at that either. When he was about 15, he set out to find his own home and get his own job. He got a job as a guard at the time, just barely. Although 3 years after he started settling in with his job, at 18, Zachery found out about magic, reading about it in novels. There weren't that many novels at the time about magic, so he struggled to find some. These novels never taught him about magic, just got him more intrigued in it. He thought it looked interesting and wanted to follow it instead of being a boring guard, patrolling each day. But he found out it was no easy task, so he could follow it now, or leave it. He was sure he would get another oppoturnity at this, but he would stay a guard at the moment. At 20, he found out about the Academy's reopening, he had read that it taught about magic and such. Which was what he wanted to pursue. ((I read about the Academy's reopening on the forums)) Zachery finally decided that he wants to switch to magic and that hopefully some day he would walk out of the Academy, a new man, a new occupation and a new mind.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): He wishes to finally become a mage and pledge to not use swords once and if he becomes a mage.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Zachery is a strong guy, both physically and mentally. He also knows how to keep the place nice and tidy.
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 doesn't know about helping people that much, such as, he would help himself over others, he is ignorant. He also is afraid of falling off, even if he is caught by the net. This will be later in RP when he learns magic, but it will be a massive disadvantage to him, he will burn his hands from learning fire magic. This will make him unable to hold heavy stuff, such as swords. But will also disable the use of other things that are heavy.
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.): Not at the moment.

Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl.
Zachery passes the men, being a guard himself, he questions them in his mind about what they are doing.
*Zachery walks over to the men*
Zachery: "Excuse me, but what are you doing?"
Guards: "This girl here insulted us"
Zachery: "Do what you want, but I don't think you just harass her over that."
Although Zachery doesn't really care and keeps patrolling.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
Zachery: "I already have enough riches, I don't need your petty little quest".
Man: "It will reward you".
Zachery: "I told you, I am fine, now get out of my way".
*The man walks in front of him and keeps being annoying*
Zachery: "I don't want to go..."
*Pushes man in to the wall and walks past him*
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Zachery, being ignorant as he is. Passes the man without noticing. But later passing him again, noticing but trying to ignore him as Zachery doesn't want to pass out any change at the moment.
Man: "Change sir?"
Zachery: "Sorry, none at the moment..."
Man: "Please?"
*Zachery tosses some copper pieces and walks off*
*The man tries to reply with a thank you, but isn't given the oppoturnity*.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
*Zachery stands up from the chair, trying to look as big as he can for intimidation*
Zachery says to the man with a booming voice "What did you say, can you repeat that?" he continues "I didn't hear it over your petty little mumbling."
The man decides to back off, but Zachery walks over, holds him by the collar and chucks him across the table, smashing some glasses.
The man tries to get up but stumbles to the ground, unconciously.
Zachery says "That'll teach you". Then walks out of the tavern.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
"That's a nice necklace miss, you might want to hold on to it, there are bad people around here." Zachery says as he looks around.
It was night time so he was probably right about that.
"Okay, thanks for the information sir." Replies the woman.
"Any day ma'am" Says Zachery politely as he could.

Character Information
Name: Ricky Jones
Age: 24
Class: Ranger
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Citizen of the Chancellory
Physical description: Ricky is 5"11. He is a medium build, has dark blue eyes and brown hair. He wears a vest with his favorite bright red bow tie. He also wears a pair of black slacks and a pair of shoes to match his vest and bow tie.
Screen capture of your skin: http://www.minershoes.com/skin/view/i5103e8f4ee37c2290436603285298929662945
(My Screencaps are glitching out so I hope this will do!)
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.): Ricky grew up in the Slums. When he was around 16 years old, he spent most of his free time doing work at the docks trying to earn money. One day, while he was working, a ship came in with a lot of expensive cargo. All of the people aboard the ship were bragging about how rich they had become from running their business. They threw money onto the docks and laughed as people scrambled to pick it up. Ricky saw how truly powerful these men were. He immediately went and asked them if they needed another worker. They all laughed at Ricky’s ridiculous request and told him to go home. On that walk home, something in Ricky changed. He vowed to himself that he would become even more powerful than those men on that ship. He would become the wealthiest and most powerful man by any means possible. The next day Ricky took all his money from his job and invested it in shoe polish and a chair. Ricky went down to the market and started a shoe shining business. He knew that he would have to start off small if he wanted to reach his bigger goals. After a few weeks passed, Ricky started to make some decent profit. His parents were so proud that they bought him a red bowtie so he could look more professional. Then, after a long day of shining people’s shoes, he walked home to discover that his family had been robbed. All of his earnings were gone. All Ricky had left was his red bowtie. The next day, while Ricky was shining someone’s shoes, some money fell out of their pocket. Then, the man got up, paid Ricky, and walked away. Ricky picked up the money and turned to the man, but no words came out of his mouth. He realized that he just made a day’s worth of profit from that one man. Ricky realized that he could get to the top this way. Taking a little bit here and there from people wouldn’t hurt anyone, and he would make a lot more. After two years of this, Ricky had his own small fortune. He could finally start his dream. Ricky bought some nice clothes from a store and put on his favorite bow tie. It was time for him to go and make some money. It was time for him to become powerful. It was time for him to become what he wanted.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To become the most wealthy and powerful man
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Ricky's main strength comes from his way with words. He relies on his brain more than his brawn. He is also agile.
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.): Ricky is not a strong fighter. He is fairly weak.
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.): Nope
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 armoured men harassing a young girl.
Ricky would glance over and take a good look at the girl. He would start to consider how much money she would give if he saved her. After thinking that she would give a some money for saving her, Ricky would walk over to the guards and tell them that a murder is happening a few streets over. After the guards leave, Ricky would try to convince the girl to pay him for rescuing her.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
Ricky would look the man right in the eyes and ask how great would the reward be. After hearing that it would be very great, he would grab his gear and catch the next airship to Bloodstone.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Growing up in the Slums, this sight would cause Ricky to think about his life when he grew up and how poor he use to be. Ricky would then give some food and money to the old man and proceed to walk away.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Ricky would buy the man a few more drinks, getting him full out drunk, and after the man passes out, Ricky would take some of his things and walk off.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Ricky would turn around and start to talk to her. Ricky would then try to get here intoxicated at the closest tavern and take the necklace at the first chance he gets.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?
One major question I have is what kind of talk is the rp. Would it be more like the industrial times?
Also, I was wondering about the Villian Applications, I dont want to start out as a full on villian, but I want to be able to cause a little trouble here and there, using words more than anything. I saw the part in the application about inspiring rebellions but I dont think my character would go that far. So would I have to fill out a Villian app for my Character

Also played on a server that was more like a mmorpg than RP , cant remember the name, something with realm.
Played on a server that was forced to shutdown because of not enough money, and a server one of the players on the other server started, but did'nt like it because of lack of lore, history and serving the purpose of the RP.

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.):
My character was raised by 2 caring parents along with his brother, He lived in a town that valued family legacy, and the family name. He chose the life style of a miner, and spent a lot time in the mines gathering resources for his fathers store. he always wanted to make a store himself, and counted on getting the Fathers store when he passed away, he knew he would be able to handle it good with hes brother by hes side, because the Father taught them both alot about shopkepping. Gr'amir wanted to settle down with the girl he always dreamt about in a young age, he spent alot of his younger days on day dreaming.
When he became a teenager the town seemed to become more poor and poor, people started to need to struggle for food and survival of the family, and work harder, so the mines were filled at all times, so there werent much minerals left in the end, but Gr'amir kept working there, but when he got home, his mother and father argued, because of the money struggling, his mother meant they should stop working in the mine beacause of the low outcome of minerals, but his father was against it, he had always sold minerals from the mines and refused to change his way of living.
He meant that when you start something, you finish it to the end of your days, that arguement made so much hatred in the family his mother left.
sa his mother left the hatred growed, his brother left soon after to start a new life as a woodcutter in the forest. His father told Gr'amir to go after his brother and get him back home so they could continue the work in the mines, and so Gr'amir did, he found his brother and talked to him, but the brother refused to get back home, so in the believe that is was right he burned the forest down so his brother got out of work and had to come back, he just forgot to think that it was the only food source left in the area of the town. After that the town started to hate him, and meant he had dishonored the family. His father had never loved him so much for getting his brother back in the family busniess eventhought it hurted the whole city.
The family shop started to lose customers and money, the income started to become an outcome, and in the end, the family couldn't afford to keep the shop running.
So his father had no other option then to ask his sons to leave to another place and start a new shop there, he could barely afford food for himself, so he could see it was the only solution.
A couple of weeks after Gr'amir and his brother left their hometown to start on a fresh, they packed the food they could find from the burned forest and took the money their father could spare, and so they left, but on the way to the new city Gr'amir and his brother got away from each other, he saw no other option than to continue his journey.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation):
To become a respected shop keeper with good financial, and if possible make a church.
Strengths (Both physical and personality):
Able to handle himself in the mines, and also can make decision fast and possible right.
can withstand most mind pain.
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.):Has a weakness for people less fortunate and can easily be drawn into wrong company.
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.):
Nope, not yet.
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 armoured men harassing a young girl. I walk close to see what is going on, and will do my best to see if there is a way to help the girl if she havent given them a reason for the harrasment. Else, i would walk right by only with a bad taste in my mouth.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded. If it was a great reward i would easily be distracted to doing the wrong thing, but i would try to keep my mind on doing whats best for everyone.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food. I give him most of the food that i am currently holding, and offer him a place to stay for a few nights, Possibly offering him a job if i could.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother. I try to keep my anger down, and tell him that hes bad mouth and trash talking will get him nowhere.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears. I give compliments to the lady and asks her if the necklace is somewhat holding a value to her. If she is interrested in selling it, i probaly would buy it.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore? nope
Other notes:
minebuilder00- There were quite a few things wrong with your app. Let's go over them.
First off, you got multiple lore questions wrong. You should read over ALL the lore before applying, as stated in the OP. Not some of it. There isn't any compromising on this subject, I'm afraid.
Secondly, you had multiple spelling and grammar mistakes. It made some parts of your application difficult to understand. If English is not your first language, it's understandable, but this is an English speaking server and community, and you'll need to be able to keep up in order to RP with us.
Thirdly, your character's biography was poorly written and rather boring, sorry to say. Some parts of it just didn't make any sense.. Did it REALLY make sense for him to burn down an entire village..? Wasn't he worried about hurting his brother..? Wasn't he worried about the effects that'd have on his village..?
And Lastly, your character didn't have any real weaknesses. Also, your character wouldn't be able to mine, as he was a craftsman.
Thanks for taking the time to fill out the app, though. Good luck finding another RP server!
Also, @Cheddar, your app is under review by one of the other Whitelisters. We thank you for your patience.
