Real-Life Age: 15

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): TehAlphaGamer

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”?: Essentially overpowering your character. Using blunt and unfair actions in things such as a fight. In a CvC battle, perhaps you should state "Swings sword at X's neck," rather than, "Decapitates X."

What is the definition of “Metagaming”?: Fighting or acting out-of-character in a strictly in-character situation, or any situation for that matter. Having outside knowledge that your character generally should not is an example of this.

What is the definition of “Roleplay”?: Essentially, being something you're not. But not in that sense. Roleplaying is acting out the life of an entirely self-generated character, giving them their own myriad of traits, looks, fears, etc.

Who can use flymod, X-ray and other such clientsided mods?: Nobody. They ruin both the charm and flow of the game as they make it scores more unfair than others who don't have the mods.

When are you allowed to cause the death of another character?: By having it agreed to in a CvC battle, usually if the other wants to change their character.

When are you allowed to speak out of character?: When you really need to. Always parenthesize your words as you speak them when OOC.

Have you read the primary server lore of our server and agree to roleplay in accordance with it?: Yes.

Who is allowed to use magic?: Nobody at the start. You must go to the magery academy and earn a magery degree before you can use magic.

Who are the Fallen?: Also known as the "Medori," the fallen are old and superstitious folk, who often turn their heads to peace to resolve certain situations.

When and how did our current government come to be?: 168 A.R., Following defeat of the old Linyera Monarchy; much of the previous empire's land was taken and now much of it is held by the Chancellery.

Who are the Order of Aradin?: A group who works to protect the islands and its inhabitants from monsters throughout the area.

What are the Net and Essence?: The Net is a network residing under the islands. If you are to fall, you are bounced back up at the cost of all held items. However, if you have Essence, your items can be recovered at the cost of three levels. Essence is a power that is earned from achieving certain obstacles. It shows a mark of experience to those who have much of it.

Who is/was Jensen?: A man who actually is Aneria's husband, set out to find five ancient artifacts, hidden under five temples under the islands. He had the power of jumping from body-to-body and otherwise possessed fathomless magical power.

What previous roleplay experience have you had, if any?: Yes, much over an extended period of times. Having been on many Medieval-themed and nuclear wasteland/Fallout-type servers.

If you have played on other RP servers, please say which and why you left: I just get bored, or have to reset my Minecraft client. I look at other servers and other places to enjoy myself.



Character Information

Name: Manfred "Manny" Sorben

Age: 35

Class: Laborer

Citizen of the Chancellery or a member of the Medori?: Citizen of the Chancellery

Physical description: Tall and regularly built. Wears a white shirt with brown coveralls and black boots. With copper-framed glasses. Skin is a darker shade. Manfred has a very bad case of a receding hairline, making him mostly-bald even at an age like thirty.

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.):

Manfred was born and descends from a long line of engineers in his family. His father, Anton Sorben, was a naval architect well known for designing a few airships in an expeditionary scout fleet. His mother, Judi, was a redstone engineer also known for making weapons systems for those said ships. Unfortunately, they also wanted to keep all family members within that legacy, so, even after all the resistance they put up, they made their son Manfred want to be part of that. Of course, after some time, he got used to it, but regardless.

Manfred was raised in the Capital in a decently wealthy household. Socially, he was known to not flower that much. He often preferred the accompaniment of contraptions he built to amuse himself rather than many friends. And teachers who looked at his work noticed he often drew; but it wasn't just scribbles and doodles, he often drew somewhat complicated schematics. He excelled arithmetically, and often impressed his teachers with impressive calculations. But, he was still shown to be reckless and cocky, and his headstrong actions often resulted badly, in the workplace or not.

Manfred's parents eventually left. Not even with a notice. They just...left. They ventured off for more work on islands elsewhere, and had not communicated much with Manfred. He was heartbroken, and had no choice but to move on in life. With his skills, he tried to get a job in construction, and that was mildly successful, but couldn't hold onto a position for long. However, with the jobs he had, he was noted to be quick and efficient, but also for having obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and sometimes bothered colleagues his over-encumbering desire for perfection.

Manfred himself was always fascinated when he saw the airships, though. Seeing the air-faring vessels always fascinated him, and he began studying to go to a naval academy when he was about 25 years old. Unfortunately, he was not admitted to the school due to overfill at the time. But he continued to go around various islands for construction contractors, doing that for roughly 8 years. But, of all places, he had never considered the Capital. He came there and began to hunker down, and continued to try to find work. He still remains there today, as a citizen of the Chancellery. While work is always abundant, sometimes finding the credentials for it can be a chore, and those credentials are something Manfred hopes he has.[


What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): Necessity is the mother of invention, isn't it? Manfred's intention is to build what is necessary to make life both efficient and easier for the people of the land. To help apply his skills both civilly and militarily.

Strengths (Both physical and personality): Physically, he is well known to be skilled with his hands. He can work quickly and with ease, but being in a fight and similar situations are not things he's very fond of. Personally, he is able to instill direct judgement thanks to a rather calculating personality. He is shown to be direct and explains things to people how they are; no need to sugar-coat it.

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.): Physically, Manfred's major weakness is his poor eyesight. He must wear glasses to help him see better, and is still somewhat nearsighted. Personally, he is shown to be somewhat of a scaredy-cat of sorts and fears a few things; most notably insects, arachnids, etc.

Does your character have any connections to currently-existing characters or characters yet to be accepted? If so, which? (See “Character Linking Aid”. Please post a link to the topic.): No.


In-Character-Responses (ICRs. For each scenario, write at least a paragraph describing entirely in-character how your character would respond to the situation.Your ICRs will be used to see how well you can RP. Please post them as if in IC chat. An example can be found after this form.)


Walking down the streets of the Capital, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl.
**Walks up, quite nervously.** "H-hello, gentleman...may I ask you to please leave that young voman alone?" **One of the men pulls away, beaming down upon Manfred.** "What're ya' gonna do 'bout it?" he asks, spitting to the side. Manfred stutters slightly, "I-I...ah...um..." **Looks towards girl, who looks at him with moist eyes and mouths, "help."** "Sir, may you please direct, me to the...to the nearest constabulary?" **The same man glares at Manfred.** "Oh no, friend, I know what you're tryin' to do." **Balls up fist.**

**Manfred looks towards the girl again, mouthing "I'm so sorry."** He turns to the man. "I'm...I'm so very sorry, I must be on my vay!" **Runs off in the opposite direction.**

A man approaches you with promises of fortune abroad if you join the crew of his airships. How do you react, and why?
"M-me? That sounds...Wunderbar! Sailing the skies vould be fantastic! To explore those great distances, encounter new places! I must finish up my vork here, first. Also, I vould need to go through some time with resigning my position. But, after that, it vould be lovely to be part of your crew!"

You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
**Old beggar sits at a bench, pleading.** "Hello, sir, could you please spare some food?" **Manfred looks at the man, where he notices he has a deep, teary look in his eyes.** "Oh my...I am so sorry you have to live a life like...like this." **Pulls out a small amount of currency.** "Here, take this, it vill get you some food from the nearby market." **Turns around, waving.** "I must be going, now."
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
**Turns around, with a slight smile on his face.** "Sir, I understand if you are a little...vell...intoxicated, but I'd wish that you vouldn't insult my mother like this. So please, be off!"
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
**Approaches girl, smiling.** "Gutentag, my fair miss. I just must let you know that this necklace of yours is stunning! Is that centerpiece crafted from real lapis lazuli? It looks marvelous!"

Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?: No, not necessarily.

Other notes: For starters, I just want to keep the Germanic accent, as I feel like it adds some variety. Secondly, I just wanted to note that I'm sorry if it's not too great, the bio. I mean, most write and elaborate on it later. Unfortunately, completely overhauling a character and the fact that the bio is the length of most standard essays makes it a bit difficult.

Accepted:
MrIce881- I was content with the amount of words you had for your Biography and ICRs, so good job with that. Good job with getting your new character accepted as well.
Deferred:
TehAlphaGamer- Even though I can tell that you're quite familiar with RP and creating unique characters, this one isn't suitable for the server. There is no known life on the land below the islands, and the only known groups of people are the Chancellory and the Medori. If you are a citizen of the Chancellory, then you were raised/you reside in the Capital. A similar situation for the Medori. There is no possibility for your character to have come from a place named "Avdolia" as that place doesn't exist. I do apologize, but your biography needs to be changed for you to be accepted. Perhaps you should change your character as well, as it might be easier to do so. I don't know. Your character would have to have come from either the Medori island, Constance, or the Capital as a citizen of the Chancellory. Unless there's a somewhat unique case that staff has approved of before-hand. (Which this is not.)

Also, your character can't be an engineer. Just start with something simple, and work your way up once your character has been accepted on the server.

Character Information

Name: Ramesy

Age: 26

Class: Bladesman

Citizen of the Chancellery or a member of the Medori?: Chancellery

Physical description: Standing at 5'10'', Ramesy possesses a fairly robust, lean build, probably the product of physical exertion. His skin is a light brown, and has a fair amount of scars across it, several of which can be seen on his face. His hair is straight in texture, an earthen brown in color, and medium in length, though it is usually held back in a pony-tail. Along with his hair, he has thick stubble on his face, but not a full beard. Similar to his hair, his irises are a dark, natural brown, though still remain distinguishable from his pupils.

Ramesy's normal garb consists of a fur-lined hide coat that extends to his knees, offering some slight protection to the elements. His boots and gloves are made of thick, brown hides, similar to his coat. His pants, however, are made of a cloth fabric, though have reinforcements in the form of the leather straps and thin metal plates that can be found on his legs, as well as his arms. He usually possesses a sword of some sort, as well as its sheath.

Screen capture of your skin:

Biography: Ramesy's birth and childhood was hardly something that could be described as more spectacular than average. Truly, the same could be said for the majority of his life. His parents were craftsmen that sold their wares in the Capital. When he was not being asked to aid them, he would explore the city, climb buildings, interact with other children, and occasionally injure himself while performing a foolhardy feat. He preferred physical activity to academic pursuits, but his parents still made sure he was sufficiently educated. Not that he would use it to its full extent.

By the time he reached his teen years, Ramesy was physically fit and had free time to spare. He spent much of this free time, as well as whatever currency he could muster, on lessons with a sword. The young man grew fond of the concept, and began to train with wooden rods outside of the lessons, as well. His parents still required his aid with their store, however, and he also found it necessary to find a low-paying job on the docks, cleaning up various messes. He still made sure to keep up his lessons, despite it all, and managed to stay sharp with a blade.

As he reached the age of 20 years, and became old enough to truly go his own way, he spent what little money he had on a simple sword, and set out to make use of it, in his confidence. A young man, armed with a cheap sword, heading out on his own for the first time.

From this time comes many stories of scars and embarrassing defeats. However, boasts of victory come, as well, giving some merit to his overconfidence. Since then, he has honed his skills with a sword, though not enough to give him the confidence to do much in the Jensen Incident, in which he largely remained passive. Beyond physical prowess, he has also found a personal philosophy and motive since setting out on his own. He seeks to put this philosophy to the test, and make a name for himself, by utilizing the skills he has acquired over his life.

What is your character’s main goal?: He seeks to constantly improve himself, primarily through swordsmanship. This stands as potentially very violent, as he sees physical combat as his main testing ground.

Strengths: He is, of course, very strong, and fairly skilled with a sword, and potentially any weapon. Fairly jovial and friendly in nature, he hardly makes others dislike him by his mere presence. In addition, Ramesy acts fairly care-free, making him fairly tolerable as an ally or companion.

Weaknesses: Ramesy is not particularly bright, and is not the most educated individual, by far. He lacks knowledge of many things, preferring direct conflict as a primary route. And, while he is fairly friendly, his goals to improve himself leave him fairly violent, by any reasonable assessments. He also possesses a problem with committing too heavily to a cause not his own. Beyond that, Ramesy has the potential to be annoying to certain individuals, nonchalant as he is.

Does your character have any connections to currently-existing characters or characters yet to be accepted? If so, which?: None established, though it is possible he may have friends who knew him previously.


In-Character-Responses:


Walking down the streets of the Capital, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl.

Ramesy pauses for a moment, scratching his chin. After a moment, he steps forward, clearing his throat loudly. "Excuse me, but I couldn't help but notice how much I want to injure you, good sirs." The man said with a large grin, confusing the pair he confronted. Just as they began to react, Ramesy ripped his sword free of its sheath, sending a wide slash at one man in the same motion. Turning to the other, he delivered a swift kick to his shin, before slicing into his arm heavily. Deeming his work sufficient, he returned his sword to its sheath and hurried off without a word. After all, being arrested for assault is hardly fun, is it?

A man approaches you with promises of fortune abroad if you join the crew of his airships. How do you react, and why?

Deliberately scratching his chin in thought, looking at the man, Ramesy seems to make a large deal of deciding. "Hm... yes... yes... a very tempting offer, indeed." He says idly, as if trying to consume time. "I'm afraid I'll have to decline, though. I'm not much one for riding airships, and there's hardly anybody to stab on them, now, is there?" He declared at last, walking off without waiting for a reaction, waving as he strode off.

You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.

Passing the beggar, Ramesy glances at him with a slight frown, shrugging and tossing a single coin his way. A single coin. Only one. "Apologies, stranger, but I'm not exactly rolling in affluence, either. Good luck, either way." Ramesy states with a shrug, continuing on his way.

In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.

"I'll have you know everything you said is potentially true, but it still isn't very generous. I'll have you know I'm not opposed to unjustified violence, either. Unless there's somebody of authority here." Ramesy responds, glancing about for a moment. After checking to make sure the coast was clear, he walked towards the man, raising his fist as if about to deliver the punch. However, he instead delivered a heavy headbutt. Two drunken men beating each other up over the concept of an unwholesome woman. Truly, a battle for the ages.

You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.

A fairly pretty necklace, to be sure. Sadly, it would definitely clash with Ramesy's eyes, and that is a crime against dignity that cannot happen. Keep walking, swordsman.


Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?

What version is the server updated to?

Other notes:

Deferred: Adebar


Let me first start off by saying this is certainly one of the best written apps I've reviewed yet. The unfortunate part is you're just under 400 words for the biography and our policy requires you be 400 or more. I know it's a hassle but if you can flesh it out just a little bit more, you'll be on this server in no time. Ramsey seems like a unique character and i'm really curious to see what he does on our server!

I didn't write an irritatingly long backstory, for once. I should see a doctor about that.

Decided to spoiler it to keep from clogging the whole thread up more.

Accepted:
TehAlphaGamer- Welcome to the Anerian chronicles! Thanks for fixing up what I asked you to. (: Hop on the server whenever you like, and make sure you've joined our forums, where you can ask questions and get yourself up to date with things going on and things that have happened! http://aneria.enjin.com/

Rejected:
Jasper151627237- You had mistakes in your OOC part, as well as your IC part. First off- You strengths and weaknesses just clash with each other. You state a few things that don't quite work with a certain part of your application:
"-Selena is a great speaker/talker."
"-She is kind of agile."
"-She isnt a very good fighter, her strength lies in dodging."
What you're stating is that Selena is KIND of agile, which means her strength lies in dodging, not fighting. She's also a great speaker/talker. So from this, I would guess that Selena would use her speech instead of her brute force to obtain something she wanted, correct? But in your first ICR she easily takes down a man by dodging his attempts to hurt her. No speaking. Even though you may be good at dodging, you'd have to be somewhat skilled in fighting to know how to defend yourself. Also; She only takes out one of the men. There were two. And seemingly the second man just stood there by the side watching his mate fail to defend himself from a woman, and let her walk away with ease? I'd think he'd do something about it. Plus, the two men were "Heavily armed and armored". I'd think they'd have some armor protecting themselves from weapons.

You also stated Selena would commit some thievery every now and then, from those who wouldn't miss it or who probably couldn't care less about those who needed help the most. Yet in the ICR where she walks past the woman wearing a beautiful necklace, she decides to ignore it. You could assume that a necklace that beautiful is expensive though, and Selena has no idea how the woman got a hold of it. So she shouldn't dismiss it, because the woman hasn't "done anything". If Selena doesn't steal from people who "haven't done anything", then why would she steal from those who seem like they have quite the fortune and wouldn't care if they lost some of it? Just doesn't fit, the way I'm thinking about it.

Just a quick edit: You also said Selena wanted to travel around the lands. Now.. not to alarm you.. but these lands are floating islands. SO you're pretty high up from the start. What I actually want to point out though is that the islands aren't too close to each other; Not really a "Take a little jump and you're on another island" distance. So if you wanted to travel around, you'd have to fly. And you mentioned Selena would never get on a "flying deathtrap". So I don't see Selena travelling around to really fit in, either.

You also had mistakes in your OOC part. Sorry pal, but I just don't see you qualifying.

Accepted: Adebar


You corrected the biography and are all set. Welcome to Anerian Chronicles!

Quote from GreenNinja8

snip

Sorry, bud, but rejection means you cannot apply again. Your app will not be looked at by anyone, and we all wish you luck in finding a new server,

Quote from GreenNinja8

So, other's get accepted when they correct the biography...but I don't?
Sounds legit.

I can scan trough the forums and collect some more of the "You corrected it so you are accepted" posts if you need me to.

Listen,
I rejected you because you had mistakes in your OOC part as well as your IC part in your application. It just seems like you didn't put too much thought in to applying, and I'm sorry if I was wrong and you actually did, but my decision was made. I reviewed your app multiple times and just didn't see you passing. Please stop arguing here. The other people who "corrected their mistakes and get accepted" are people who only had a few mistakes. You had more. It also varies on who is reviewing your app; This time it was me.

We are fair to all applicants, and I took in to consideration how we usually accept/defer/reject applicants. You fell in the "rejection" area.
Good luck with finding new servers.

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):
I do not use skype, I tend to avoid chat rooms, or web talk programs

Have you read all of the rules, agree to abide by them, and by the decisions of our staff?:
Copy and Confirmed~

What is the definition of “Powergaming”?:
Powergaming is akin being an action movie hero, you never are harmed, your shots never miss, and your impervious to damage, this is a rough explanation so let us expound upon it, Powergaming consists also of forcing actions of or upon other players, Such as forcing a character to fall down or to be knocked out with your punch, your effectively shutting down roleplay, and instead writing a script not an roleplay scene, power gaming forces the outcome of a certain action or effort usually without fail, tis deplorable.

What is the definition of “Metagaming”?:
Metagaming on the other hand is just a horrible and repulsive, metagaming is the act of using information gained outside of your characters ability, e.g. using a OOC discussion IC to gain an unfair advantage or to ruin another roleplayers story arc or scene, This can extend into the realm of suddenly knowing the man your talking to is an infamous criminal wanted in 29 states, even though you literally just stumbled into the man and he is incognito.

What is the definition of “Roleplay”?
Roleplaying is akin to acting, one is removing themselves from the character and delving into the depths of said character, your an actor on a stage, per say a large improv show, your simply to react and interact in the manner that your character does, Your character is not you, you fundamentally comprise your character but one must detach themselves so best to enjoy roleplay at its finest~

Who can use flymod, X-ray and other such clientsided mods?:
None, Cheating or any action that would grant one an unfair advantage is barred in the rules~

When are you allowed to cause the death of another character?:
At no point in time are you able to /force/ a death on a player, All players must consent to having a character die, but a good roleplayer will be big enough to allow their characters to die, to further story or heighten intensity


When are you allowed to speak out of character?:
Normally one is advised against flooding the OOC channel, But if there is an issue, one is allowed to speak OOC, if the speaking must be in local, one must denote OOC chatter with [[ Or something equivalent

Have you read the primary server lore of our server and agree to roleplay in accordance with it?:
The Lore is deep and expansive~ a lovely jumping point~ I will happily abide and dwell within such boundries~

Who is allowed to use magic?:
Magic is restricted to classes that train in the art, namely mages and priests and paladin

Who are the Fallen?:
Are a group of beings that dwell on various islands separate from the from the rest of the body of people that comprise the Citizenry, they normally avoid conflict and maintain their history via oral tales passed from generation to generation.

When and how did our current government come to be?:
Chancellery has been in charge since 169 A.R (After Raising), after besting the Linyera Monarchy in 167 A.R. at the Planes of Raun, but due to war and various domestic issue reared their heads, they where forced to withdraw to the Capital city, where most of the population dwells.


Who are the Order of Aradin?:
The Order was founded to protect the people of the Islands from supernatural evils, as a wave of monsters was sweeping the land at the time, it has been defunct for some period of time, but talks are that it may be rechristened and used again.
1
What are the Net and Essence?
Essence is acquired as individuals go about overcoming basic obstacles, such as defeating monsters, mining ores, and cooking food, they accumulate a sort of energy that has come to be known as "Essence". Mages have described Essence as the First Plane's version of Mana

The Net is a barrier of sorts, hovering beneath the Islands, catching foolish individuals that fall. Instead of falling for all eternity, they are instead safely transported back onto the nearest island, safe and sound.

Who is/was Jensen?
An individual calling himself "Jensen" appeared on the islands, pursuing the five "Anerian Artifacts" hidden away in hanging temples beneath five of the main islands. It was believed that if all five artifacts were brought together that the Goddess Aneria could be released and that she would grant a single wish. Jensen turned out to be the reincarnation of Aneria's husband from before the Islands were formed, and he possessed the ability to jump bodies whenever he present host was destroyed. Furthermore, he possessed great magical capabilities. Thus a race was started

What previous roleplay experience have you had, if any?:
5 Years on a Futuristic Half Life Inspired Roleplay on Forums
11 Years of Table Top Roleplay including everything from D&D to Warhammer 40,000 Dark Heresy and Deathwatch
3 Years of Roleplay on 3 different Minecraft Roleplay servers
2 Year of Second Life RP
4 Years of Sci Fi RP set in the Fallout Universe, Table top
3 Years of Various Second Life Roleplay Sims
4 years of LARPING
(Note: Some of these time frames overlap ))



If you have played on other RP servers, please say which and why you left?
I have played as of now, on countless sims, servers, chatrooms and a plethora of places, even LARPED, I find Roleplay to be a lovely art. Some of the places I have played prior are:

Caelion Chapter 1: I admined here for the duration of the servers life span, but departed after the owner abandoned the server,

Kiwike: Here as well I admined and was the Roleplay specialist for the staff, I departed here after several months due to the server shifting from RP focus, to simple hack and slash survival

Fallout Sins of the Fathers: I admined here and was part of the launch team, I resigned from admining roughly 8 months in, We ran for almost 9 1/2 months before the community detonated in OOC drama and a shortage of donations.

Uthrandir: I roleplayed here off and on for almost a year, I was offered a staffing position several times, but due to poor character regulation and a simply too huge community, I departed just but recently, due to the declining quality of roleplay.

Iron Hearts and Starlit Skies: My most recent foray, I and my partner Epicketchup, founded the server roughly a year ago, but due to a bad launch window, a bad opening staff and lack of funding we had to put the server on hiatus, we are planning a relaunch once our resources are in order, Currently we have a Sim on Second Life on which we are running a side story in the universe. I still check in on said story arc from time to time.

Normally my roles within server staffing is community management and public relations, and image management~

A Hulking burly fellow, his body is criss-crossed with scars some running deep, others shallow, his hands are rough and calloused from his years spent in the service of the military or his time aboard various vessels working with or upon skyships. His head is kept shaved intentionally, as to give him a more youthful appearance, since his hair has started to grey, His arms are akin to oak tree trunks, he is a specimen of raw physical power, his face is grizzled and worn, but still holds a sharp and keen look within his eyes. He may be growing older, but he refuses to show signs, he walks with a noticeable limp on his right leg, He is well tanned due to his almost perpetual time spent under the beating sun. He always is seen with a bandanna to keep the sweat from his eyes.

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 a lower class working family in the slums of the Capital, his mother was a seamstress and father a deckhand on a airship. The young lad was raised in the rough and tumble streets under the watchful care of his mother, due to his father working many times months away from home, but upon his fathers home coming there was always a grand celebration in the household, he sought work at the age of 16 at the local ship wright, tending and braiding ropes and lines for the vessels to plod the skies with, his passions and youthful dreams only grew as he aged, his father retired as a deck hand in his later years, and Sigmar readily took care of his aged mother and father, ensuring that his pay went solely to them for home upkeep.

It was roughly at the age of thirty when he was offered a position as a deckhand on a military vessel, with the pay being better then he was getting on smaller commercial ships, he readily agreed, his time spent in the military warship, honed his mind and body to new heights, the vessel ran various gauntlets hunting for pirates and seeing sometimes brutal action, it was during one of these flashpoints that Sigmar's leg was wounded by a boarding grapple, he spent several weeks recovering in the port hospital. After such he resumed private contracts, foregoing military contracts in favor of private charters. The money he recieved during this time, was enough to move his parents from the slums to a better and well to do quaint home in a better part of the city.

But his life again would take a drastic turn when the Jensen Crisis reared its head, at this time he was away on charter plodding the skies in a privateers vessel, only to hear word that the Capital had been nearly razed by the actions of he thought was a mage, His ire and rage only boiled over at the users of magic, His return home was a bitter one, his aged parents had only narrowly escaped from the all consuming blaze and all his work and his livelihood was now but ashes. Broken but resolved, he vowed to rebuild his family fortunes in a new ploy conceived during his travels, he would build vessels and rebuild the families wealth. As such he has been working steadily to regain wealth and find backers that would fund his permit acquisition and that would allow him to lay down the bones of a ship wright that he would build and construct his ships from.

What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation):
His ultimate goal is to craft and build airships, and earn his own company seal and forever have his creations cherished for the works of art he dreams them be, he has lived around and worked with them for so long, his own ship wright is a dream that's driven him since childhood, and rebuild his family wealth that was lost during the crisis.

Strengths (Both physical and personality):
Strong as an Ox: Through constant and unending physical labor and hard work, his body has aptly grown to a size that suits the work he does, he is large and powerful in a physical sense, he takes great pride in his physical prowess.
Stubborn: Once his mind is set he will barrel headlong till his goal is reached, he believes what he does and not another soul can convince him otherwise, or it would take nothing less then a act of the goddess to change his mind.
Do Unto Others: His life philosophy has been one of treating others with respect that deserve such, He cares not for kings and men who claim to be gods, if they do something worthy of his respect, they are guaranteed it till his dying days
With Age Comes Knowledge: Having been around for no less then 56 years, he has seen much, and as such he is always full of musing from his time in the shops, he may appear like a brute, but time has made him a wise man indeed.

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.):
Fear of Water: Being that he has traversed the skies for so long, he is terrified of water and all that it entails, drowning is a constant fear of his.
Fear of Magic: He carries with him an irrational fear of magic, and to some extent loathes it, He himself holds absolutely zero magic potential,
Battle Scarred: During a Boarding action in ages past, his leg was skewed with a boarding grapple, while he did recover his mobility, he never walked correctly and the wound always a weakness to him.
Brutish: Due to his large size, and muscular build, he normally forgoes weapons while fighting, relaying on brute strength to overpower his aggressor, While he does avoid conflict the best he can, he is unskilled in swords art, or any combat aside from that of hand to hand.

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~ No Connection what so ever.... Maybe if my Partner joins me here, but she will post and note me as a companion~

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 Capital, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl what do you do?
Sigmar casually strolls down the street munching upon an apple he recently acquired his gruff demeanor keeps most of the trouble causing folks at bay, he pauses as he rounds the corner and spies the men harassing the little lassie, he shifts and watches for but a moment, still munching, before moving past, shaking his head, he leaves them be, disgusted with the state of humanity these days, he didn't have all the sides of the story, perhaps she was a thief or she committed some crime, best to keep walking.


A man approaches you with promises of fortune abroad if you join the crew of his airships. How do you react, and why?
Sigmar shifts and rubs his grizzled chin, and raises a meaty hand, his large form pondering the offer "Got ya questions you gotta answer, What type of vessel are ya sailing, where are ya bound and whats in it for me?" He shifts his heavy bulk nodding along as the man explains the fortune, he shifts and raises a hand "Again depends on your vessel and where ya going, I have seen as much of the world as a man can, and I heard that offer countless times before, I'd suggest lookin for a spry youngin who might be of more assistance and 'adventurin spirit' then this old man" He would nod and shift, awaiting the mans response

You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food, what do you do?
Sigmar would be casually heading to his appointment with the medica, before noticing the fellow on the side of the road, begging for food, Sigmar would stop, and inspect the food he had packed for his lunch, then at the older man, he would shifts and offer him some of his food, out of the hope that karma would repay him when Sigmar would be just as old on the side of the gutter.

In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother, what do you do?
Sigmar would be enjoying a quiet evening in the tavern, heartily enjoying the drink he purchased with his wage, upon the drunken fellows approach, Sigmar would roll his eyes and continue to drink, ignoring the gentlemen approach, upon the insult leeved at his now aged mum, he would rise like a titan of raw malice and attempt to throw the man across the tavern, hollering and shouting "My bloody mum was a saint!" to which he would attempt to fuse the mans face with the wooden floor boards, more then likely lashing out at those that attempted to stop him.

You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Sigmar spots a lovely necklace on a pretty dame as he takes his evening stroll, he would simply carry on by, in his mind he would muse "Now that's a lovely bit of neck wear I reckon... wonder where she got it from..." He would chuckle heartily and carry on his merry way, simply enjoying the coolness of dusk and soon to be nightfall

Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?
Indeed, Its never explicitly stated what time age and equipment is open for use within the Lore, there are mentions of swords and armor, but not of muskets and guns, are they available for use? Or are we strictly fantasy? Or do we have a touch of steam punk?~ ((Obviously nothing over the top like robots computers ect, but muskets, cannons ect~))

Second are there only /humans/? in this world, are there no other races, The two nations described are fairly vague if there are other races or beings aside from humans....

Other then that....I am good!

Other notes:
Alas Poor York, I knew him well.....

Welcome to the server! Hope you enjoy it!

And jaeden, I can't help but laugh, cause just last night
Cosak was telling your character about his airship battle which
included cannons. heehee

Biography:
Leo Jacobs was born in a small village, on a moderate sized island. His family owned a farm, which was where he was born and raised. Leo’s mother died right after giving birth to the child, and his father had died some time while Leo’s mother was pregnant. Leo was taken under his uncle’s wing, who treated Leo as if Leo was one of his own. Leo’s uncle taught Leo how to farm, in order for them to pay bills and get basic necessities to live.
Leo’s life was a very dull one. Repeating the same process everyday. Planting, harvesting, then resting. This process repeated for many years. A simple life, that it was. His life was the same for several years, up into the age of 11. Leo had been working in the farms, a normal day, at least that’s what he thought.
As he pulled the crops from the ground, out of the corner of his eye, he saw something fall. As Leo began to get up and investigate, he cautiously made his way over to the spot. I love you bae. His eyes went wide, along with his mouth going dry. In front of him, his uncle laid. Leo rushed to his uncle’s side. Putting a finger to his uncle’s wrist, he searched for a pulse. It was faint, but ultimately there.
Leo sighed in relief, but got up and searched for medical help. As the doctors of the village arrived, they told Leo tragic news. His uncle had fallen into a coma. The causes were unknown, but it most likely had something to do with his uncle’s heart condition. As Leo was left alone on the farm, he decided he would learn how to be more independent.
He went into the main part of the village, with the goal of becoming a swordsman. Approaching the guards barrack, he demanded they let him join. Laughing, they all simply told the young boy to scramble off. Angered by this, Leo began to yell at them in anger. Just before Leo moved onto more physical fighting, a hand set itself on Leo’s head. He felt a sudden calming feeling surge inside of him. Turning around, her stared up at a tall man.
This man’s name was Lucas. Lucas was a bladesman, and decided to take Leo under his wing and teach him. After Lucas had found out the child no more family, he felt bad, and taught Leo. He spent 4 years with Lucas, learning the art of the sword.
After Lucas felt like Leo was ready, he told Leo to explore the world and experience the wonders of it. Leo then took off and began to venture and hope for the best and make many friends on the way. Leo’s journey begins in the Capital.

What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): Leo’s goal is to become a master of the blade and hopefully one day become rich and have a family.


Strengths: Leo is moderately fit after working many years on the farm and training under Lucas.


Weaknesses: Leo is a very impulsive person. He always acts before his mind can even process what he just did. Leo is also not very intelligent for he was born a peasant and did not receive proper education.


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.):

Walking down the streets of the Capital, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl.
Leo is calmly strolling down the street enjoying the beautiful weather of the day. He takes in a great breath of air and exhales in pure peace. Leo was in his true peace, until he heard a loud screech. Leo was stunned by the sudden change of mood. He turned to the direction of the scene. He notices two large, enormous men picking on an innocent girl who looks to be in her teens. Leo is torn whether to assist the young lady or walk away. Leo mumbles to himself, “I need to help her. But… they seem to be soldiers. I can’t fight them. I’d either get us both killed or send myself behind bars. *pause* I must leave.”


A man approaches you with promises of fortune abroad if you join the crew of his airships. How do you react, and why?
“Hey.. you! Out there in the cold. Can you come to me?” whispered a mysterious, shady man to Leo.
“What do you want from me?” replied Leo as he scanned the mysterious being.
“Hey kid. Do you want to be rich?”
Leo remained quiet trying to figure out if this man was to be trusted.
“Everyone wants to be rich. Why even ask such a question when the answer is quite obvious.”
“Look, kid, do you want to make some money or not? I have a job that has a high reward. We could use any one that we can get our hands on. What do you say?”
“How long will this journey take and how can i trust you? You might be some dirty pirate or thief!”
“You don’t have to trust me, you can go ahead and live your stupid life.. or you could join me, take the risk and become rich.”
“As much as I don’t want to believe you, I could use some money. I’m in.”
The man stood up and gestured to follow him. He then opened a hatch that he was sitting on and jumped inside. Leo took a final breath of fresh air and descended into the darkness.


You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
On Leo’s trip back from the market he noticed a poor man. The man was sleeping on an old ragged blanket. The gullible Leo kneeled down and pulled the blanket to cover his body neck down. Leo then placed an apple by his hand and patted the poor man on his back. Leo stood up and proceeded to walk away.


In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Leo walks into a tavern and orders a drink. He sits relaxed at his table while a bunch of drunken hooligans are up to no good. There were 4 men in total who seemed as though they had too much to drink. The wasted fellows start insulting anyone who would give them attention. No one stood up to the out of control men. The largest man of the group, who seemed to be the leader, began to call out Leo.
“aye bet yor moder was notin but a fookin ****, ladie!” said the big, intimidating man.
Leo was slightly shocked by the fellow’s insult. He was so shocked he even made a slight chuckle.
“wot arr yo giglin aboht you?”
“Oh, nothing. I’ll be leaving now. I hope you gentlemen have a nice day!” replied Leo in a calm fashion.
“Yea! u bettar ruhn, lassie!” said the man as they continued their rampage.
Leo on the other hand alerted the local guardsman and walked away.


You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.


Leo is on his way to the local tavern when he notices a large, shining jewel bedazzling above a woman’s breasts. He was absolutely astonished by how large the actual object was. He was absolutely amazed by the size of the woman’s cleavage. He couldn’t stop staring until the shining jeweled necklace reflected light into his eye. The size of the jewel’s outshone anything he has ever seen before. They were absolutely marvelous. Leo could only stare for he knew he could never afford something so valuable. Leo was astounded but also somewhat saddened.

His eyes went wide, along with his mouth going dry. In front of him, his uncle laid. Leo rushed to his uncle’s side. Putting a finger to his uncle’s wrist, he searched for a pulse. It was faint, but ultimately there. “Uncle!? Uncle!? Oh no oh no oh no oh no!” repeated Leo as he was frantically trying to figure out what happened. “UNCLE PLEASE! DON’T LEAVE ME!” yelled Leo as he bawled on his uncle’s chest. “don’t do this to me. uncle please. what am i going to do…” whispered Leo. The local townspeople heard his cries of desperation and brought the help the uncle needed.
As the doctors of the village arrived, they told Leo tragic news. His uncle had fallen into a coma. The causes were unknown, but it most likely had something to do with his uncle’s heart condition. As Leo was left alone on the farm, he decided he would learn how to be more independent.

He felt a sudden calming feeling surge inside of him. Turning around, he stared up at a tall man. “Who.. are you?” asked Leo. “I am Lucas.” responded the man. “I will take you as my apprentice.” said Lucas as he motioned him to come. Lucas was a bladesman, and decided to take Leo under his wing and teach him. After Lucas had found out the child no more family, he felt bad, and taught Leo. He spent 4 years with Lucas, learning the art of the sword.
After Lucas felt like Leo was ready, he told Leo to explore the world and experience the wonders of it. “Am I ready, sir?” asked Leo. “That is not my decision, Leo, it is up to you. That is your decision to make. Not mine” said Lucas as he gave him a reassuring smile and nod. “Thank you, sir. Thank you for everything you have done.” Leo then took off and began to venture and hope for the best and make many friends on the way. Leo’s journey begins in the Capital.

What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): Leo’s goal is to become a master of the blade and hopefully one day become rich and have a family.


Strengths: Leo has a very strong upper body and strong thighs after working many years on the farm and training under Lucas. Leo is skilled at fighting with heavy weapons and has a high amount of stamina. Due to his experience with heavy labor, he is durable and sometimes doesn't feel things that might be painful to others. Despite his poor decision making, he can prove to be a kindhearted person once you get to know him.

Weaknesses: Leo is a very impulsive person. He always acts before his mind can even process what he just did. Leo is also not very intelligent for he was born a peasant and did not receive proper education. But Leo is also very greedy. He does almost anything for money. Except a math test. When it comes to combat, he is not the most agile fighter in the world due to his large size and choice of weapon.

Hey guys. This ISN'T ploopys (if you even remember him) on this account anymore. He let me use it because he's lost interest in pretty much gaming in general (with the exception of GTA V :P). But that's not why I wanted to post this. The reason I wanted to post this before posting an actual application is because I want to know if it's possible to have a character that's mute/dumb? If so, could I start with a book for me to write in to talk to people or would I just act out hand signs.

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):

Have you read all of the rules, agree to abide by them, and by the decisions of our staff?: Yessiree

What is the definition of “Powergaming”?: Powergaming means to do something that is highly unlikely and/or impossible. E.G: Bryan jumps over the castle and lands on a strangers head. Another definition can be to force an action upon another character. E.G: Jimothy stabs Teremy in the heart and kills him. Finally, it can mean that your character has powers it probably should not have. E.G: Kyle was born with the ability to teleport.

What is the definition of “Metagaming”?: Metagaming, in my honest opinion, is a big taboo in roleplay, more so than powergaming because it is easier to commit and harder to get caught.

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 in the middle class by two loving parents, Kaos was a fairly lucky child at first glance. In actuality, Kaos was born mute and had to have special tutors come by to teach him sign-language and the local language at the age of three. Because of this, his parents had to start working more so they could afford it. During Kaos’s early years, it was almost impossible to directly communicate with his parents because they never could afford the time to teach themselves sign-language as Kaos has not yet properly learned English (Or whatever the language is). Instead, they gave up more of their luxury to hire babysitters and translators. This taught Kaos about never taking anything for granted at an early age.

When Kaos was 13 years old, he was helping his father with one of his jobs as a lumberjack. Kaos was taking a break, sitting on a log and reading a book as he usually does when he heard a loud creaking noise. A worker was chopping down a relatively small tree and it was right about to fall on him. Without the ability to shout, he tried to run away but got caught on a branch and tripped. Thankfully, Kaos was able to come out of that situation alive. Unfortunately, the tree landed on his left leg and shattered his patella. He went to intense care but was told he would never be fully recovered. He now uses a cane to do the most simplest of tasks; walking.
Kaos never had much of a social life. Without the ability to talk, people never had the chance to know him. So, he spent most of his days reading books and learning. It seemed to him, knowledge was the only skill he was ever going to have. And right then, it didn’t seem so useful. Feeling horrible for Kaos, his parents brought him a pet dog/wolf. Kaos felt so grateful and named the dog Maximus. Maximus instantly became his best friend. Although it was difficult to go for walks, teach him tricks or wrestle with him, Maximus always stayed true to Kaos. Maximus gave Kaos hope for himself. He inspired him to walk once in a while, play fetch, and always managed put a smile on Kaos’s face.

One night, Kaos was 26 and living on his own –although still near his parents—a thief broke in to Kaos’s home. The thief spotted Kaos in his room and, with the intention to kill, approached him. As he crept closer, Maximus sprung up from his own bed and barking and charging and the criminal. He managed to bite the thief’s arm and woke Kaos up in a jolt. The thief, attempting to get Maximus off his arm, grabbed the knife with his left arm and stabbed him. Maximus fell to the ground in a whimper, but it gave Kaos enough time to grab his cane and whack the burglar in the head. With Maximus in one arm and his cane in the other, he limped as fast as he could to a nearby Alchemist to drop Maximus off and went straight to the Barracks. On the way to the barracks, he tripped on the uneven road and fell. Fortunately, a random patrol guard saw him and they were able to catch the culprit. Maximus recovered from the injury. The knife didn’t go in as far as it seemed it did and a few stitches were enough to do the trick. Since then on, the two became inseparable.

What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation):

As a career, Kaos’s goal is to own a newspaper company or become a professor at the Academy. As a life goal, Kaos wants to live a simple Medori-like life and perhaps have a family of his own.

Strengths (Both physical and personality):

Kaos is compassionate and never takes anything for granted. He can read a situation pretty well and always thinks before he acts. He
is very intellectual and loves animals.

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.):

Kaos is very weak and timid. He can’t walk properly or talk. Socially, Kaos can easily become awkward and hard to hold a conversation with.

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.):


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 Capital, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl.

He stops dead in his tracks but his dog, Maximus barks angrily at the men. The two bulky men turn around and looks at Kaos and his dog. Kaos, barely able to hold on his leash, clanks his cane against a pole to make as much commotion as possible. The two men yell at Kaos to stop and finally starts to walk over to them, having had enough of this annoyance. Thankfully, the Guards has come to see what was going on and realises the situation.

A man approaches you with promises of fortune abroad if you join the crew of his airships. How do you react, and why?

Kaos politely shakes his head, writes a note on a piece of paper and gives it to the man. The paper reads “Sorry, I can barely walk nor can I talk. The only reason I am still alive is because of this dog. I am going to have to decline you on this proposition.” The man shrugs and walks away, leaving Kaos and Maximus to think how odd that man was.

You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.

Kaos smiles, stops walking and motions Maximus to sit as he reaches in his pouch for any food or coins he can find. He takes out two gold coins and a loaf of bread and gives it to the man, still smiling. As the man starts to dig in his food, Kaos continues about on his walk.

In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.

Kaos looks up from his book and smiles. As the insulting continues, he merely stands up and walks out of the tavern where he leashed Maximus. He then goes on his way, probably going to return tomorrow morning, when people have not yet started drinking.

You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.

Kaos stops and stares at the amazing piece of jewellery. He looks up slightly to see that the woman seems to be annoyed thinking he was staring at something else. He quickly writes something on his notebook rips the paper out and gives it to her. It reads, “I just couldn’t help but stare at your amazing necklace. I apologize if it seems like I was looking at your breasts. Also, if you haven’t guessed already, I cannot talk, for I am mute.” The woman looks up at Kaos and he smiles. He simply nods and continues on his walk with Maximus.

Do you have any questions about the server or our lore? Nope!
Other notes: Would it be possible for Kaos to start with a pet wolf? It’s a big part of Kaos’s life, since he pretty much can’t do anything with Maximus. If not, I suppose I could somehow make it work, although it would be sort of difficult. Also, does a character start with a house or do you buy it IC? Just wondering.
