Character Information
Name: Kareyn Archangel
Age: 27
Class: Laborer
Citizen of the Chancellery or a member of the Medori?: Chancellery
Physical description: Kareyn is an average human female, with a height at 5'4". Her uniqueness lies with her unusual hair, a mysterious combination of purple, silver and red, which she was born with. Her hair flowed to about mid-back length and usually hangs free.
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.): Kareyn was born to a simple life in the Slums, yet her mother died when she was 6 and her father left as her mother slipped into a coma, which killed her. Kareyn has learned to survive on her own, having lived for 20 years on her own in the Slums. She has stowed away on an airship before and has also served on an airship before, just to make ends meet. She is a jack-of-all trades, having to time to master anything, yet having to acquire skills in many trades to make ends meet. She refuses any jobs that require her to abuse her body. During the Jensen Crisis, she fled to the mining outpost with everyone else, and has decided to make a new life for herself, one not of poverty.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To live and to survive
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Kareyn has lived alone and in The Slums. She has skills including a lithe body and the ability to survive in hard circumstances. She detests any major crimes, such as rape and murder, having survived in her harsh life without every committing either.
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.): Kareyn has never been able to wield a bow, having no training with such weapons. She is slightly paranoid and cynical of life, having lived a harsh life already.
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 Capital, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl.
Kareyn walks past the group, keeping one eye on the group. If the men went any further than harassment, she would intervene. Otherwise, she keeps walking.
A man approaches you with promises of fortune abroad if you join the crew of his airships. How do you react, and why?
Kareyn inspects the man, suspicious of his intentions. She declines his offer with a simple "No.", having no desire to join an unknown crew for vague promises of fortune.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food. Kareyn would toss the old man a piece of food, and keep walking, having assuaged her conscience.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother. Kareyn wipes the blood off of her hand, having just broken the nose of the fellow. She then apologized to the bartender to any trouble and leaves.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Kareyn would keep walking as she prides herself on not attracting too much attention.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore? What type of currency do you use? Is there an area that has a more detailed and extensive collection of your lore?
Deferred:
Thedoomed:
Very well done application. I see that you are either very familiar with our system in applications and/or have read the reviews of other applicants. I applaud you for that :).
The ONLY problem I had with the application is that you didn't provide a screencap of your skin, or at least something of the sort. We have to check these so we don't accept skins that don't match with our current theme.
Just fix this up and I should get your application ASAP!
Rejected:
imbusy44 / arettu:
Sorry, but your application did not meet our standards.
First off, your character description didn't provide much detail and unusual hair as purple, red and silver?
As well as you did not provide a screencap for your skin, that is necessary.
Your biography was well below our limit as well. Remember to read what it asks of you.
Your weaknesses included what it told you NOT to do. Which was including a weakness that is outside the boundaries of your class, such as you mentioned her not having skill in any weapons... Even though she is a laborer.
Also your ICRs were way too short. Remember to read what it tells you to do... Such as for the ICRs it says at least a paragraph. Not a few short sentences.
I'm sorry but it didn't meet the standards. Being rejected means you cannot reapply, even with a different minecraft account. I wish you luck in your journeys ahead though
Accepted:
Thedoomed:
Very good
Glad you fixed it up quickly.
Anyway, welcome to TAC
If you want to catch up with us on the forums or just look for general news about the server, check us out at: www.aneria.enjin.com
I'll whitelist you now
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
When I play Minecraft, it feels like a game... You dont say?
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): No, sorry
Have you read all of the rules, agree to abide by them, and by the decisions of our staff?: indeed
What is the definition of “Powergaming”?:Giving your character or making them overpowered/doing things that couldn't happen, acting on another player without giving them a chance to rp it out. Example: *With lightning speed, blocks the twenty incoming arrows with his dagger then slings it at the king, hitting him in the heart, ending his life*
What is the definition of “Metagaming”?:Using ooc information IC that your character doesn't know
What is the definition of “Roleplay”?: In my own words, creating a character/using an already created character and acting as them, living their life, speaking as they would, fighting as the would, doing everything as they would.
Who can use flymod, X-ray and other such clientsided mods?:No one
When are you allowed to cause the death of another character?:Only if they want to die, or of course if they are ambushed by an enormous amount of men and have to die to be reasonable.
When are you allowed to speak out of character?:OOC channel, private messaging, in local chat with (parenthesis) but keep it to a minimum
Have you read the primary server lore of our server and agree to roleplay in accordance with it?: indeed
Who is allowed to use magic?:Well, you can't start with magic, and can only use it if trained, which is limited.The mage class, priest, and paladin can all use forms of magic through the plugin, only if taught to be that class however.
Who are the Fallen?: The Fallen, Medori, are an old people separated from the common humans around 300 years ago. They have an adept for magic and are a very superstitious people with many of their own holidays and beliefs, their own culture. They are peaceful and avoid conflict, and are a tight-knit story telling community. They have recently started to interact with the citizenry and have become aware of the capital.
When and how did our current government come to be?: 167 A.R, a rebellion ended the reign of a Linyera Monarchy. The chancellor now has power over the government. This role is passed down through the family, and if not, an election is held.
Who are the Order of Aradin?:created in 37 A.R. to protect the people from the evil and monsters of the islands. The old chancellor, Adam Ceva, disbanded the order, but Chancellor Oliver may recreate it. AS of now, it is a fraction of what it once was.
What are the Net and Essence? The net is a barrier hovering beneath the islands, catching people who fall. They are transported back to the nearest island, safely. The net ,however, can only catch living matter unaided. So individuals lose all items they carry when falling unless they have a certain amount of essence (3 lvls). The net will then harness that essence and preserver their items as well. That brings me to essence. Essence (xp lvls) is an energy players collect by performing basic tasks (killing monsters, mining, cooking, smelting). Mages describe it as a basic version of mana. Most individuals only care about essence to save their items, so some people have become essence hunters of a sort. They collect essence, store it in emeralds, and sell it to wanting individuals, or save it for later use.
Who is/was Jensen? Jensen was the husband of the goddess Aneria. She made him immortal, but he aged and died still. He was, however, able to inhabit corpses once his current form was killed or damaged, but his mind slowly faded. He waged war on humanity and was too powerful to stop. So, Aneria fled with as many humans as she could take, creating the islands and the net to keep Jensen out. He continued to kill those left on the surface, hoping that if there were no hosts left, he could finally die in peace. He ended up taking form of Esjenn, the former Medori leader. The Jensen Crisis then occurred. He wished to obtain the artifacts and wish himself dead, but instead, Arthon bound Jensen to a shovel, which the citizens still guard, containing his anger.
What previous roleplay experience have you had, if any?: Some other Rp servers, Skyrim.
If you have played on other RP servers, please say which and why you left: Falchion (Best so far), server ended to create its sequel. Agathon (sequel), wasn't the same as Falchion. Plot got kind of boring, loss of player-base. Don't remeber the names of others, none have been interesting or fun enough to keep me around, or simply a lack of players (maybe only 1 or 2 on at a time, I would like at least 10)

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.):
A boy was born some years ago to two loving parents in the heart of all the islands, the bustling capital, lead by Chancellor Oliver himself. He was named Royce, after his grandfather. His parents were over joyed at the birth of Royce, hoped to be the next prominent crafter of the family. The Williams' family blood line contained a long list of crafters and blacksmiths, serving the capital with fine metallurgy and crafting techniques. His father was a blacksmith himself, and his mother a silk sewer. They had the funds to support Royce as a child, both making a living with no difficulties. Royce grew up in a home, his father's shop, in the middle of the town square, close to the seat, over run with vendors and people walking frantically about. He played in the streets and became great at talking to people, for his father would send him down to the mines to converse with and purchase metals such as iron and gold to smelt. He also made trips to the market square to purchase fine silk for his mother to sew into clothing. He always dreamed of being the chancellor himself, to head a powerful nation, a dream many children had, but he never thought he'd work at the hands of an anvil, forging metals and crafting furniture. He apprenticed his father once he turned eight and was strong enough to handle metals. He learned to love the art of crafting, just as his father had, for no one dreams of such a simple life. He wasn't allowed to forge the metals or build anything however. He worked in the mines, as all apprentices did when learning and watched his father intensively at his work. Becoming a skilled craftsman requires extensive training and takes years.
During his craftsman training and education of metals, a teacher was hired to teach Royce history, religion, english, and arithmetic of the islands. He learned of how the chancellery came to power and learned of the great goddess of Aneria and her creation of the islands. He learned of the academy, church, magery, the order of Aradin, and all the major locations of the land. He enjoyed his schooling and often boasted to friends about his knowledge of the world and told them storied of the mysterious fallen. His father taught him manners and how to treat others, always to act benevolent and kind. He would be scolded if caught acting rude, and so he learned.
Royce's schooling ended when he was seventeen, schooling of the land of course, because he was still in the midst of craftsman training. At the age of nineteen, his parents decided to teach Royce responsibility, and he moved to a home not far from the mine, as he had to work there every day. He could not support himself immediately, however, because of the payments he had to make for his father's metals, so his parents supported him for some years. He worked in the mines for half of the day, then helped his father around the shop for the other half, observing his techniques. Royce lived this lifestyle for years. Today, he is a 24 year old man, ready to take a next step in his life. He seeks final training in the art of crafting and is ready to begin his journey on his own, without his parents' support.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation):Royce seeks to become a master craftsman and live a simple life, providing villagers with top-quality goods and services.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Friendly, sociable, strong from mining
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.): Sometimes too friendly, not loyal, wants to please everyone so he never takes sides, sometimes doing the wrong thing.
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

Walking down the streets of the Capital, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl.
*Royce trots down the street, heading to the mines to purchase fine metals*
Guards: "You like that missy? We don't appreciate you poor folks coming in to our capitol? understand? This'll teach ya not to come back again!"
*Royce notices the men harassing the girl and ponders the situation. He realizes he must pass the guards frequently and does not want to get on their bad side, but still has a sense of right*
Royce: "Hey there fellas'! I know you are quite busy with this intruder, but you've got more important duties, you are the guards right? In fact, I think I heard about a scuffle down at the bakery, better check it out. Besides, hand the girl over to me, I'll teach her a lesson!"
Guard:"A scuffle eh'? Hey Jim, we best go check it out. Don't let her get off without a good beatin' though hear me boy? She need learn 'bout what we guards won't take round here!"
Royce: "Oh, understood sir."
*The guards walk off*
*The girl cowers in fear of Royce*
Royce: "Don't worry I won't hurt you miss. You best stay away from here, those guards don't like outsiders comin' in ya hear?"
*Royce hands the girl a half eaten loaf of bread*
Royce: "Now, off you go"
*Girl nods and runs off*
A man approaches you with promises of fortune abroad if you join the crew of his airships. How do you react, and why?
Man: "Hey, you there! You lookin' to make some coin? Good coin if you come 'ere and join my crew I tell you! We sail the skies on the finest airships around, but we travelin far to transport these goods here. I promise ya unimaginable wealth if ya join me boy, we need young strong ones like you!"
*Royce cocks his head toward the man* "I'm afraid I can't do that sir. I've got a good life here in the capital. Almost finished my trainin' and pretty soon I'll have my own shop, be a fine craftsman just like my pops. I'm sure there are plenty fine folks here seekin' a fortune, willing to join your crew though! So, I'll be off, good day."
*Royce walks off in a hurry, not wanting to be late to the job*
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Beggar: *In a weak voice* "Food! Please! I beg ya, I aint eatin in whats gotta be a week! Help me out will ya?"

Royce: "Sir, let me check my bad, I'm sure I have some to spare."
*Royce pulls out three potatoes and a hunk of beef and tosses it to the beggar*
Beggar: "Bless your heart! May Aneria grant you everlasting fortune!"
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Drunken man: "Ey' ya old hag! Fetch me another ale will ya'? You shouldn't be out at this time anyway, don't ya got house chores to do?"
*Royce's face turns red and he is angered by the man's comment, but tries to keep calm*
Royce: "Look fella, I can see you are drunk, but no excuse to insult a woman now! I'm know of many other fine taverns around here, so I'll be off, but try to be more courteous will ya?"
*Leads mother out the door*
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.

Royce: Man, my mother would love that necklace! *He thinks to himself*
Royce: Ah, I'll have to wait till I can afford it! No sense in stealin' it and ending up in the jail house. *He think to himself*
*Continues his work*

Character Information
Name:Kevar Omari
Age: 43
Class: Craftsman.
Citizen of the Chancellery or a member of the Medori?: Proud citizen of the Chancellery.
Physical description: A rather rugged looking man of his 40's. Has salt and peppered hair and a rather messy beard. Eyes are blue, and his hands are rather scarred from years of work as a craftsman. Wears simple leather pants and overcoat, as well as a simple white shirt underneath.
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.): Kevar was born in the slums, to a rather poor mother and father name Kaylin and Kevar Sr. They passed some years ago, and left him with a sister and brother. His brother shares his trade, but his sister works as an engineer in the factory. The two however, don't get along too well after a series of arguments culminating in the two disowning each other. He still cares for her, and occasionally sends her what aid he can though. After working as a young man as a manual laborer, Kevar has finally saved up enough money to move from the slums where he called home, and seeks to own a craftsshop in the marketplace. Despite his families poverty, he and his siblings have remained loyal to the Chancellor, and the church.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): Survival remains his primary goal at the moment. His family has never been particulalry wealthy, but he holds dreams of holding some kind of influence even with his rather limited skills.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): A fairly experienced craftsman, born from a lifetime of labor at it. Well built after his services as well. Not particularly smart, but by no means dimwitted.
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.): Kevar has a fear of heights, even with knowlledge of the Net keeping him safe. Left leg is also somewhat weak after an injury some years back.
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.
Frowns at the men, quietly walking forward as they surround the woman. Lightly puts a hand on the closest ones shoulder, giving a nervous smirk at the men. "Gent's, I don't mean to bother yah. But the lady seems as if she's somewhere important to be. I can tell you boy's don't need any trouble so close the the chancellor..So what say you leave her be, and I'll buy a few rounds at the bar for the both of yah."
A man approaches you with promises of fortune abroad if you join the crew of his airships. How do you react, and why?
Kevar waves his hand in dismissal, frowning a bit at the man before him. "I'm sorry friend, but I'll have to call a pass on this. I've never much cared for heights you see..Never even managed to get myself up onto one of those ships before. I've a brother who lives not too far from here, always been a lover of adventure. Now he's the man you wanna talk to. If you need anything built, or repairs done however, I'd be more than happy to assist you."
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Kevar pauses as he passes the old man, before leaning down and extending a hand to him. "The names Kevar friend..Not too long ago I wasn't too different from yah. I'm well enough on my own now, and if you'd let me I'd be happy to put a warm meal in your belly and give you a place to stay for the night."
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Kevar frowns, stepping forward to shove the man against the wall. "Now look friend. I don't want any trouble with yah, but you're stepping into some rather dangerous spots with talk like that. I've sent stronger men than you home with a few broken bones. I may be getting a bit on in age, but don't think I can't handle you just as well as I have the others. I'll forgive you this once, seeing as you've had a bit to drink. But best watch yourself, or you're gonna have more than a headache when you wake up in the morning."
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
As he passes the woman, he turns and lightly taps her shoulder. "Pardon me miss. I couldn't help but catch an eye of that necklace you have. Now I have a sister that works at the factory, and...well she'd love a necklace like that. If you'd let me, I'd be happy to do some work..or craft some things for yah in exchange for it. "
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?: I'm rather curious about how things work in the server...No real questions besides what do thing's look like, and do other cities exist outside the capitol?
Other notes: I realize the character, and his motivations are rather simple...But well, what better way to be unique than the guy who just want's to make a living? Everybody wants to tell the story of the next chosen wizard lord, or the next in line to be king. What of the story of the craftsman who just wants to make it through the world in one piece? I'm not too terribly experienced with hardcore rp..but I want to give this a try if you'll allow me.
Decent application, but there were a few things wrong with it. First off, you MUST have at least 400 words in your biography. No ifs, ands, or buts. I understand you have a very 'simple' character, one who just really wants to live for the sake of living. But, try to flesh out your character a bit more, tell me more about his past and even how he injured his left leg. Also, your powergaming definition was very vague. Clarify it a bit more and, if you want, give me an example of a situation in where a person powergames. This one isn't required, but I encourage you to make the answer about Jensen a little longer.
For your question, the server is a fantasy/medieval/steampunk type mold, so you'll see a lot of wood and cobble houses. There are islands that exist outside of the Capitol, but none of them are necessarily 'cities', though the Mining Island has somewhat of a settlement. Good luck reapplying! If you have any questions, don't be afraid to shoot me a PM
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):(Not prepared to give it out freely. But do have it.)
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”?:Forcing actions onto others, or having an overly powerful character knowing things he shouldn't such as a laborer having magic despite no prior research into it.
What is the definition of “Metagaming”?: Using Ooc information to give yourself an advantage over others.
What is the definition of “Roleplay”?: Playing a role in a game, and acting as if you are that role. At least that's my understanding.
Who can use flymod, X-ray and other such clientsided mods?:Noone.
When are you allowed to cause the death of another character?:Only when the other character has agreed to it. And I'm not allowed to just go around killing people.
When are you allowed to speak out of character?: Sparingly, and only with () around them. Or in the ooc chat channel/Private messages. It's suggest to stay in character as much as possible though.

Who is allowed to use magic?:Those trained at the academy, though those on the villains blacklist may not learn any.

Character Information
Name:Kevar Omari
Age: 43
Class: Craftsman.
Citizen of the Chancellery or a member of the Medori?: Proud citizen of the Chancellery.
Physical description: A rather rugged looking man of his 40's. Has salt and peppered hair and a rather messy beard. Eyes are blue, and his hands are rather scarred from years of work as a craftsman. Wears simple leather pants and overcoat, as well as a simple white shirt underneath.
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.):Kevar has never been a particularly noteworthy man, nor a particularly rich or influential one. Rather, he has been a man who's only real noteworthyness comes from just how unnotable he is. That's not such a notable downside when you get down to it though, and for him life's always been decent enough. Kevar Omari was porn to poverty, at the hands of his mother and father, Kaylin and Kevar Senior. He's not a young man, and heads the Omari family at this point, being the oldest of three siblings including a brother and sister. His brother shares his trade as a craftsman, although he's always been more of a glory seeker than Kevar ever was. The brother's been in trouble a few times, but never anything major. His sister works as an engineer in the factory, although to hear him talk he doesn't have a sister. The two have never gotten along particularly well, only worsened by his mother and father passing away. Though they haven't spoken in a while, he still does care about his sister and occasionally sends her gifts to help her as he can. From a young age, he's worked as a craftman or laborer for some the the more upscale parts of the city. Well, more upscale than the slums at least. He injured his leg years ago after taking a rather nasty fall of a roof, and the injury still pains him a bit. After years of hard manual labor, he's finally raised up enough money to make his move from the slums, and dreams of bringing at least a bit of respect for the crafts of the Omari family. Despite living a life in poverty, with many hardships, Kevar holds a strong loyalty to the Chancellor and the church. Notably for someone living on a floating island, Kevar has a rather severe fear of heights, possibly stemming from his accident years ago. For this reason he avoid's airships if he can manage it, and would rather live closer to the ground when the matter comes to taller buildings.
Kevar has always held a love of simpler things, preferring the glow of his forge to any crystals or precious metals. He views manual labor to be one of life's pleasanter things, and seems content with a life of unnotability. Rumor also has it he dreams of openning a large workshop, not unlike the factory, but more dedicated to mass production of simpler things than the factory produces.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): Survival remains his primary goal at the moment. His family has never been particulalry wealthy, but he holds dreams of holding some kind of influence even with his rather limited skills.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): A fairly experienced craftsman, born from a lifetime of labor at it. Well built after his services as well. Not particularly smart, but by no means dimwitted.
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.): Kevar has a fear of heights, even with knowlledge of the Net keeping him safe. Left leg is also somewhat weak after an injury some years back.
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.
Frowns at the men, quietly walking forward as they surround the woman. Lightly puts a hand on the closest ones shoulder, giving a nervous smirk at the men. "Gent's, I don't mean to bother yah. But the lady seems as if she's somewhere important to be. I can tell you boy's don't need any trouble so close the the chancellor..So what say you leave her be, and I'll buy a few rounds at the bar for the both of yah."
A man approaches you with promises of fortune abroad if you join the crew of his airships. How do you react, and why?
Kevar waves his hand in dismissal, frowning a bit at the man before him. "I'm sorry friend, but I'll have to call a pass on this. I've never much cared for heights you see..Never even managed to get myself up onto one of those ships before. I've a brother who lives not too far from here, always been a lover of adventure. Now he's the man you wanna talk to. If you need anything built, or repairs done however, I'd be more than happy to assist you."
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Kevar pauses as he passes the old man, before leaning down and extending a hand to him. "The names Kevar friend..Not too long ago I wasn't too different from yah. I'm well enough on my own now, and if you'd let me I'd be happy to put a warm meal in your belly and give you a place to stay for the night."
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Kevar frowns, stepping forward to shove the man against the wall. "Now look friend. I don't want any trouble with yah, but you're stepping into some rather dangerous spots with talk like that. I've sent stronger men than you home with a few broken bones. I may be getting a bit on in age, but don't think I can't handle you just as well as I have the others. I'll forgive you this once, seeing as you've had a bit to drink. But best watch yourself, or you're gonna have more than a headache when you wake up in the morning."
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
As he passes the woman, he turns and lightly taps her shoulder. "Pardon me miss. I couldn't help but catch an eye of that necklace you have. Now I have a sister that works at the factory, and...well she'd love a necklace like that. If you'd let me, I'd be happy to do some work..or craft some things for yah in exchange for it. "
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?: I'm rather curious about how things work in the server...No real questions besides what do thing's look like, and do other cities exist outside the capitol?
Other notes: I realize the character, and his motivations are rather simple...But well, what better way to be unique than the guy who just want's to make a living? Everybody wants to tell the story of the next chosen wizard lord, or the next in line to be king. What of the story of the craftsman who just wants to make it through the world in one piece? I'm not too terribly experienced with hardcore rp..but I want to give this a try if you'll allow me.
It just BARELY passed. You fixed up what I requested you to do, and I appreciate that! Although, I would have liked if you fleshed out the character more. He seems a little 2 dimensional. However, I am willing to accept you into The Anerian Chronicles.
So, welcome aboard! Check out the forums if you want to catch up or just generally interact with the community at www.aneria.enjin.com! Hope to see you on the server!

Dear hopeful applicants!
To not have this a normal, simple bump, I have decided to beat you with my bat until yo-I mean, I will throw my mighty words upon you so that you get so excited that you simply have to apply!
*Coughs* Let me answer the questions that atleast, I had in my head when I applied for the first time, and hopefully most of the ones you have in your head right now.
Why should I join THIS server? There's atleast a hundred other RP servers out there!
Belive me when I say this, there are alot of other RP servers out there, and I have tried alot of them, but none, I repeat, NONE, has come to the quality of TAC. The storyline and RPers, and just the pure community of Silver Gaming is stunningly good, I remember after I applied for the first time, I sat by the computer for hours, waiting for the reply. After you join, I guarantee you you will not be dissapointed. This is the most knitted-together, crazy, amazing community I have joined throughout my three years of minecraft. I am only going to say this once, if you are sitting there wondering to apply, don't think, ACT.
This application is so long and tideous!
Truth to be told, yes, if you do not enjoy writing, that application is long and tideous. There's not much to say about it, other than that when you join, you won't regret going through the progress. In my opinion, the application format is fine, it's nesseceary with a little information to pull through the RPers that are capable of playing a character full out, without powergaming or metagaming.
I got DEFERRED!
As the original post states (I believe it does anyways), getting deferred on your first time is completely normal. I was deferred on my first time, know what I did? I fixed the things the WLer asked me to fix, and boom, accept. It's not really that hard, the WLers state spesifically what they want you to improve.
In addition to this, let me say, I do know it takes time to get used to a new lore, a new world, a whole new universe even! But after a week or so, you know the basics of it, and the small pieces that you do not know yet, will be spread out throughout your adventures through the skylands.
This is the humble opinion of a normal player that randomly decided to write up an application one day, and never had a single regret. All I can say, if you do not apply, you're missing out.
See all of you in the world of TAC!

Class: Bladesman
Physical description: Tall (6'7"), Muscular, Dresses like a assassin from Assassins Creed. (No Im not lazy, just looks really cool. Especially trendsetting in that time.)
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.): Jack was born in a church, and raised to be a Knight. But in his mind, hes always wanted to be a ranger. During training he went through a Kung-Fu-Kid style training montage daily. (Except it was more like for a warrior.)Eventually in his late teen years, he ran off. Everyone always told him what he “Needed” to be. No one asked what he WANTED to be. He lived from then he lived the life of a thief, until he was 20. Although thought that period he raised enough for a house. Although he still sometimes “Borrows Items Without Permission”
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To avenge all that has had wrong done to them. Or to be the highest in command.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Hes very clever, very strong and agile. He also is very practical, only does what he needs to. And MAYBE then some.
Weaknesses (Both physical and personality): Hes very arrogant and a tad careless. He is also paranoid. And hes kind of a Single Player.
Will your character likely join an existing faction? If so, which? If not, why not?: Maybe; Hes much of a lone wolf, but knows having allies is a good idea.
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.): Maybe if I can get some friends I will recommend it to them.
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.
He will head right into action and save the young girl. He would alert some other guards about the traitor guards.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
He formally turns down and answers “Sorry, but I have better things to do.” Knowing for sure he hasn’t had the training for the job.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
He goes into the store and sneakily hands the man a portion .
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Jack pulls out his sword slightly as to intimidate the insulter. The huffs and cracks his knuckles. Then Jack pulls out the sword to face the man, and whips it up to the mans neck. The man backs down. Jack Wins.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
He ponders on a 40:60 chance of him stealing it. If he DOES, he would flirt a bit before she passes by. Get close then take it when shes not looking. Then he would kiss her and let her pass. And if he DOESN’T, he would do the same thing, except he just woldnt take it.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore? No.
Other notes: Hes also quite a ladies man. And this was written in word. So if it doesnt look correct, im sorry.See. The images didnt work. Dont know how to add those sorry.
MechStar, I'm sorry to say, but this app really didn't meet our standards. Many of your OOC questions seem to be either wrong, or very plain, and you missed quite a few of them. You could of added a lot more to his description, even if you did state he looked like an AC Assassin, could of at least described what it looked like. And about the skin, we NEED to see what it looks like, I don't think it would of been hard to search up how to upload an image. Alright, now here's the biggy, your bio was WAY under 400 words. The whitelisters are really strict about this, and you can see why by the lack of depth in it. Also, your main goal was 'To avenge all that has had wrong done to them'. Who did he want to avenge? You didn't specify that very well, and if you were talking about people in your bio, I didn't follow. Your weaknesses and strengths were very bland, and it seems your strength clearly outweighed the weakness, I would of liked to see more detail in that section. Your ICR's were very short, we were looking for AT LEAST a paragraph, not 2 - 3 sentences, they were also, in my eyes, very dull.
I'm sorry for not being able to accept you into our server, but I wish you luck on finding another!
I see. I'm not the best writer. And I guess was just too much of an idiot to remember that I can use Google. My points were not taken as I thought they might. And I play games to have fun. So I never really figured out what some of the OOC questions meant. I am deeply sorry for wasting your time. And I hope if I expand my knowledge of this type of stuff, I can try again in say the summer. And then hopefully you might except me.
Keep dreaming about other WLers Jaeden, keep dreaming.
No worries, I whitelisted for another RP server once, while not Minecraft it was pretty much handled the same way as here, so I understand how it is. Also neat that I'm joining up when that story arc is starting, should be fun.

Character Information
Name: Kareyn Archangel
Age: 27
Class: Laborer
Citizen of the Chancellery or a member of the Medori?: Chancellery
Physical description: Kareyn is an average human female, with a height at 5'4". Her uniqueness lies with her unusual hair, a mysterious combination of purple, silver and red, which she was born with. Her hair flowed to about mid-back length and usually hangs free.
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.): Kareyn was born to a simple life in the Slums, yet her mother died when she was 6 and her father left as her mother slipped into a coma, which killed her. Kareyn has learned to survive on her own, having lived for 20 years on her own in the Slums. She has stowed away on an airship before and has also served on an airship before, just to make ends meet. She is a jack-of-all trades, having to time to master anything, yet having to acquire skills in many trades to make ends meet. She refuses any jobs that require her to abuse her body. During the Jensen Crisis, she fled to the mining outpost with everyone else, and has decided to make a new life for herself, one not of poverty.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To live and to survive
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Kareyn has lived alone and in The Slums. She has skills including a lithe body and the ability to survive in hard circumstances. She detests any major crimes, such as rape and murder, having survived in her harsh life without every committing either.
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.): Kareyn has never been able to wield a bow, having no training with such weapons. She is slightly paranoid and cynical of life, having lived a harsh life already.
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 Capital, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl.
Kareyn walks past the group, keeping one eye on the group. If the men went any further than harassment, she would intervene. Otherwise, she keeps walking.
A man approaches you with promises of fortune abroad if you join the crew of his airships. How do you react, and why?
Kareyn inspects the man, suspicious of his intentions. She declines his offer with a simple "No.", having no desire to join an unknown crew for vague promises of fortune.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Kareyn would toss the old man a piece of food, and keep walking, having assuaged her conscience.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Kareyn wipes the blood off of her hand, having just broken the nose of the fellow. She then apologized to the bartender to any trouble and leaves.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
Kareyn would keep walking as she prides herself on not attracting too much attention.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?
What type of currency do you use?
Is there an area that has a more detailed and extensive collection of your lore?
Other notes: None yet
Thedoomed:
Very well done application. I see that you are either very familiar with our system in applications and/or have read the reviews of other applicants. I applaud you for that :).
The ONLY problem I had with the application is that you didn't provide a screencap of your skin, or at least something of the sort. We have to check these so we don't accept skins that don't match with our current theme.
Just fix this up and I should get your application ASAP!
Rejected:
imbusy44 / arettu:
Sorry, but your application did not meet our standards.
First off, your character description didn't provide much detail and unusual hair as purple, red and silver?
As well as you did not provide a screencap for your skin, that is necessary.
Your biography was well below our limit as well. Remember to read what it asks of you.
Your weaknesses included what it told you NOT to do. Which was including a weakness that is outside the boundaries of your class, such as you mentioned her not having skill in any weapons... Even though she is a laborer.
Also your ICRs were way too short. Remember to read what it tells you to do... Such as for the ICRs it says at least a paragraph. Not a few short sentences.
I'm sorry but it didn't meet the standards. Being rejected means you cannot reapply, even with a different minecraft account. I wish you luck in your journeys ahead though
~Jaeden
Thedoomed:
Very good
Glad you fixed it up quickly.

Out of Character Information
IGN:eatpurplemanatee
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): No, sorry
Have you read all of the rules, agree to abide by them, and by the decisions of our staff?: indeed
What is the definition of “Powergaming”?:Giving your character or making them overpowered/doing things that couldn't happen, acting on another player without giving them a chance to rp it out. Example: *With lightning speed, blocks the twenty incoming arrows with his dagger then slings it at the king, hitting him in the heart, ending his life*
What is the definition of “Metagaming”?:Using ooc information IC that your character doesn't know
What is the definition of “Roleplay”?: In my own words, creating a character/using an already created character and acting as them, living their life, speaking as they would, fighting as the would, doing everything as they would.
Who can use flymod, X-ray and other such clientsided mods?:No one
When are you allowed to cause the death of another character?:Only if they want to die, or of course if they are ambushed by an enormous amount of men and have to die to be reasonable.
When are you allowed to speak out of character?:OOC channel, private messaging, in local chat with (parenthesis) but keep it to a minimum
Have you read the primary server lore of our server and agree to roleplay in accordance with it?: indeed
Who is allowed to use magic?:Well, you can't start with magic, and can only use it if trained, which is limited.The mage class, priest, and paladin can all use forms of magic through the plugin, only if taught to be that class however.
Who are the Fallen?: The Fallen, Medori, are an old people separated from the common humans around 300 years ago. They have an adept for magic and are a very superstitious people with many of their own holidays and beliefs, their own culture. They are peaceful and avoid conflict, and are a tight-knit story telling community. They have recently started to interact with the citizenry and have become aware of the capital.
When and how did our current government come to be?: 167 A.R, a rebellion ended the reign of a Linyera Monarchy. The chancellor now has power over the government. This role is passed down through the family, and if not, an election is held.
Who are the Order of Aradin?:created in 37 A.R. to protect the people from the evil and monsters of the islands. The old chancellor, Adam Ceva, disbanded the order, but Chancellor Oliver may recreate it. AS of now, it is a fraction of what it once was.
What are the Net and Essence? The net is a barrier hovering beneath the islands, catching people who fall. They are transported back to the nearest island, safely. The net ,however, can only catch living matter unaided. So individuals lose all items they carry when falling unless they have a certain amount of essence (3 lvls). The net will then harness that essence and preserver their items as well. That brings me to essence. Essence (xp lvls) is an energy players collect by performing basic tasks (killing monsters, mining, cooking, smelting). Mages describe it as a basic version of mana. Most individuals only care about essence to save their items, so some people have become essence hunters of a sort. They collect essence, store it in emeralds, and sell it to wanting individuals, or save it for later use.
Who is/was Jensen? Jensen was the husband of the goddess Aneria. She made him immortal, but he aged and died still. He was, however, able to inhabit corpses once his current form was killed or damaged, but his mind slowly faded. He waged war on humanity and was too powerful to stop. So, Aneria fled with as many humans as she could take, creating the islands and the net to keep Jensen out. He continued to kill those left on the surface, hoping that if there were no hosts left, he could finally die in peace. He ended up taking form of Esjenn, the former Medori leader. The Jensen Crisis then occurred. He wished to obtain the artifacts and wish himself dead, but instead, Arthon bound Jensen to a shovel, which the citizens still guard, containing his anger.
What previous roleplay experience have you had, if any?: Some other Rp servers, Skyrim.
If you have played on other RP servers, please say which and why you left: Falchion (Best so far), server ended to create its sequel. Agathon (sequel), wasn't the same as Falchion. Plot got kind of boring, loss of player-base. Don't remeber the names of others, none have been interesting or fun enough to keep me around, or simply a lack of players (maybe only 1 or 2 on at a time, I would like at least 10)

A boy was born some years ago to two loving parents in the heart of all the islands, the bustling capital, lead by Chancellor Oliver himself. He was named Royce, after his grandfather. His parents were over joyed at the birth of Royce, hoped to be the next prominent crafter of the family. The Williams' family blood line contained a long list of crafters and blacksmiths, serving the capital with fine metallurgy and crafting techniques. His father was a blacksmith himself, and his mother a silk sewer. They had the funds to support Royce as a child, both making a living with no difficulties. Royce grew up in a home, his father's shop, in the middle of the town square, close to the seat, over run with vendors and people walking frantically about. He played in the streets and became great at talking to people, for his father would send him down to the mines to converse with and purchase metals such as iron and gold to smelt. He also made trips to the market square to purchase fine silk for his mother to sew into clothing. He always dreamed of being the chancellor himself, to head a powerful nation, a dream many children had, but he never thought he'd work at the hands of an anvil, forging metals and crafting furniture. He apprenticed his father once he turned eight and was strong enough to handle metals. He learned to love the art of crafting, just as his father had, for no one dreams of such a simple life. He wasn't allowed to forge the metals or build anything however. He worked in the mines, as all apprentices did when learning and watched his father intensively at his work. Becoming a skilled craftsman requires extensive training and takes years.
During his craftsman training and education of metals, a teacher was hired to teach Royce history, religion, english, and arithmetic of the islands. He learned of how the chancellery came to power and learned of the great goddess of Aneria and her creation of the islands. He learned of the academy, church, magery, the order of Aradin, and all the major locations of the land. He enjoyed his schooling and often boasted to friends about his knowledge of the world and told them storied of the mysterious fallen. His father taught him manners and how to treat others, always to act benevolent and kind. He would be scolded if caught acting rude, and so he learned.
Royce's schooling ended when he was seventeen, schooling of the land of course, because he was still in the midst of craftsman training. At the age of nineteen, his parents decided to teach Royce responsibility, and he moved to a home not far from the mine, as he had to work there every day. He could not support himself immediately, however, because of the payments he had to make for his father's metals, so his parents supported him for some years. He worked in the mines for half of the day, then helped his father around the shop for the other half, observing his techniques. Royce lived this lifestyle for years. Today, he is a 24 year old man, ready to take a next step in his life. He seeks final training in the art of crafting and is ready to begin his journey on his own, without his parents' support.

Walking down the streets of the Capital, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl.
*Royce trots down the street, heading to the mines to purchase fine metals*
Guards: "You like that missy? We don't appreciate you poor folks coming in to our capitol? understand? This'll teach ya not to come back again!"
*Royce notices the men harassing the girl and ponders the situation. He realizes he must pass the guards frequently and does not want to get on their bad side, but still has a sense of right*
Royce: "Hey there fellas'! I know you are quite busy with this intruder, but you've got more important duties, you are the guards right? In fact, I think I heard about a scuffle down at the bakery, better check it out. Besides, hand the girl over to me, I'll teach her a lesson!"
Guard:"A scuffle eh'? Hey Jim, we best go check it out. Don't let her get off without a good beatin' though hear me boy? She need learn 'bout what we guards won't take round here!"
Royce: "Oh, understood sir."
*The guards walk off*
*The girl cowers in fear of Royce*
Royce: "Don't worry I won't hurt you miss. You best stay away from here, those guards don't like outsiders comin' in ya hear?"
*Royce hands the girl a half eaten loaf of bread*
Royce: "Now, off you go"
*Girl nods and runs off*
A man approaches you with promises of fortune abroad if you join the crew of his airships. How do you react, and why?
Man: "Hey, you there! You lookin' to make some coin? Good coin if you come 'ere and join my crew I tell you! We sail the skies on the finest airships around, but we travelin far to transport these goods here. I promise ya unimaginable wealth if ya join me boy, we need young strong ones like you!"
*Royce cocks his head toward the man* "I'm afraid I can't do that sir. I've got a good life here in the capital. Almost finished my trainin' and pretty soon I'll have my own shop, be a fine craftsman just like my pops. I'm sure there are plenty fine folks here seekin' a fortune, willing to join your crew though! So, I'll be off, good day."
*Royce walks off in a hurry, not wanting to be late to the job*
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Beggar: *In a weak voice* "Food! Please! I beg ya, I aint eatin in whats gotta be a week! Help me out will ya?"
*Royce stops at the beggar and checks his bag of supplies to see if he's got any food*
Royce: "Sir, let me check my bad, I'm sure I have some to spare."
*Royce pulls out three potatoes and a hunk of beef and tosses it to the beggar*
Beggar: "Bless your heart! May Aneria grant you everlasting fortune!"
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Drunken man: "Ey' ya old hag! Fetch me another ale will ya'? You shouldn't be out at this time anyway, don't ya got house chores to do?"
*Royce's face turns red and he is angered by the man's comment, but tries to keep calm*
Royce: "Look fella, I can see you are drunk, but no excuse to insult a woman now! I'm know of many other fine taverns around here, so I'll be off, but try to be more courteous will ya?"
*Leads mother out the door*
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
*Royce notices a beautiful necklace made of emerald and gold on a passing woman who seems to be wealthy*
Royce: Man, my mother would love that necklace! *He thinks to himself*
Royce: Ah, I'll have to wait till I can afford it! No sense in stealin' it and ending up in the jail house. *He think to himself*
*Continues his work*

Character Information
Name:Kevar Omari
Age: 43
Class: Craftsman.
Citizen of the Chancellery or a member of the Medori?: Proud citizen of the Chancellery.
Physical description: A rather rugged looking man of his 40's. Has salt and peppered hair and a rather messy beard. Eyes are blue, and his hands are rather scarred from years of work as a craftsman. Wears simple leather pants and overcoat, as well as a simple white shirt underneath.
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.): Kevar was born in the slums, to a rather poor mother and father name Kaylin and Kevar Sr. They passed some years ago, and left him with a sister and brother. His brother shares his trade, but his sister works as an engineer in the factory. The two however, don't get along too well after a series of arguments culminating in the two disowning each other. He still cares for her, and occasionally sends her what aid he can though. After working as a young man as a manual laborer, Kevar has finally saved up enough money to move from the slums where he called home, and seeks to own a craftsshop in the marketplace. Despite his families poverty, he and his siblings have remained loyal to the Chancellor, and the church.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): Survival remains his primary goal at the moment. His family has never been particulalry wealthy, but he holds dreams of holding some kind of influence even with his rather limited skills.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): A fairly experienced craftsman, born from a lifetime of labor at it. Well built after his services as well. Not particularly smart, but by no means dimwitted.
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.): Kevar has a fear of heights, even with knowlledge of the Net keeping him safe. Left leg is also somewhat weak after an injury some years back.
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.
Frowns at the men, quietly walking forward as they surround the woman. Lightly puts a hand on the closest ones shoulder, giving a nervous smirk at the men. "Gent's, I don't mean to bother yah. But the lady seems as if she's somewhere important to be. I can tell you boy's don't need any trouble so close the the chancellor..So what say you leave her be, and I'll buy a few rounds at the bar for the both of yah."
A man approaches you with promises of fortune abroad if you join the crew of his airships. How do you react, and why?
Kevar waves his hand in dismissal, frowning a bit at the man before him. "I'm sorry friend, but I'll have to call a pass on this. I've never much cared for heights you see..Never even managed to get myself up onto one of those ships before. I've a brother who lives not too far from here, always been a lover of adventure. Now he's the man you wanna talk to. If you need anything built, or repairs done however, I'd be more than happy to assist you."
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
Kevar pauses as he passes the old man, before leaning down and extending a hand to him. "The names Kevar friend..Not too long ago I wasn't too different from yah. I'm well enough on my own now, and if you'd let me I'd be happy to put a warm meal in your belly and give you a place to stay for the night."
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Kevar frowns, stepping forward to shove the man against the wall. "Now look friend. I don't want any trouble with yah, but you're stepping into some rather dangerous spots with talk like that. I've sent stronger men than you home with a few broken bones. I may be getting a bit on in age, but don't think I can't handle you just as well as I have the others. I'll forgive you this once, seeing as you've had a bit to drink. But best watch yourself, or you're gonna have more than a headache when you wake up in the morning."
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
As he passes the woman, he turns and lightly taps her shoulder. "Pardon me miss. I couldn't help but catch an eye of that necklace you have. Now I have a sister that works at the factory, and...well she'd love a necklace like that. If you'd let me, I'd be happy to do some work..or craft some things for yah in exchange for it. "
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore?: I'm rather curious about how things work in the server...No real questions besides what do thing's look like, and do other cities exist outside the capitol?
Other notes: I realize the character, and his motivations are rather simple...But well, what better way to be unique than the guy who just want's to make a living? Everybody wants to tell the story of the next chosen wizard lord, or the next in line to be king. What of the story of the craftsman who just wants to make it through the world in one piece? I'm not too terribly experienced with hardcore rp..but I want to give this a try if you'll allow me.
Psych0bob:
Decent application, but there were a few things wrong with it. First off, you MUST have at least 400 words in your biography. No ifs, ands, or buts. I understand you have a very 'simple' character, one who just really wants to live for the sake of living. But, try to flesh out your character a bit more, tell me more about his past and even how he injured his left leg. Also, your powergaming definition was very vague. Clarify it a bit more and, if you want, give me an example of a situation in where a person powergames. This one isn't required, but I encourage you to make the answer about Jensen a little longer.
For your question, the server is a fantasy/medieval/steampunk type mold, so you'll see a lot of wood and cobble houses. There are islands that exist outside of the Capitol, but none of them are necessarily 'cities', though the Mining Island has somewhat of a settlement. Good luck reapplying! If you have any questions, don't be afraid to shoot me a PM
Psych0bob:
It just BARELY passed. You fixed up what I requested you to do, and I appreciate that! Although, I would have liked if you fleshed out the character more. He seems a little 2 dimensional. However, I am willing to accept you into The Anerian Chronicles.
So, welcome aboard! Check out the forums if you want to catch up or just generally interact with the community at www.aneria.enjin.com! Hope to see you on the server!
I've honestly never been good with backstories, I gotta work on that...
To not have this a normal, simple bump, I have decided to beat you with my bat until yo-I mean, I will throw my mighty words upon you so that you get so excited that you simply have to apply!
*Coughs* Let me answer the questions that atleast, I had in my head when I applied for the first time, and hopefully most of the ones you have in your head right now.
Why should I join THIS server? There's atleast a hundred other RP servers out there!
Belive me when I say this, there are alot of other RP servers out there, and I have tried alot of them, but none, I repeat, NONE, has come to the quality of TAC. The storyline and RPers, and just the pure community of Silver Gaming is stunningly good, I remember after I applied for the first time, I sat by the computer for hours, waiting for the reply. After you join, I guarantee you you will not be dissapointed. This is the most knitted-together, crazy, amazing community I have joined throughout my three years of minecraft. I am only going to say this once, if you are sitting there wondering to apply, don't think, ACT.
This application is so long and tideous!
Truth to be told, yes, if you do not enjoy writing, that application is long and tideous. There's not much to say about it, other than that when you join, you won't regret going through the progress. In my opinion, the application format is fine, it's nesseceary with a little information to pull through the RPers that are capable of playing a character full out, without powergaming or metagaming.
I got DEFERRED!
As the original post states (I believe it does anyways), getting deferred on your first time is completely normal. I was deferred on my first time, know what I did? I fixed the things the WLer asked me to fix, and boom, accept. It's not really that hard, the WLers state spesifically what they want you to improve.
In addition to this, let me say, I do know it takes time to get used to a new lore, a new world, a whole new universe even! But after a week or so, you know the basics of it, and the small pieces that you do not know yet, will be spread out throughout your adventures through the skylands.
This is the humble opinion of a normal player that randomly decided to write up an application one day, and never had a single regret. All I can say, if you do not apply, you're missing out.
See all of you in the world of TAC!
-Rosa, an extremely pleased player of TAC.

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.): Jack was born in a church, and raised to be a Knight. But in his mind, hes always wanted to be a ranger. During training he went through a Kung-Fu-Kid style training montage daily. (Except it was more like for a warrior.)Eventually in his late teen years, he ran off. Everyone always told him what he “Needed” to be. No one asked what he WANTED to be.

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.
He will head right into action and save the young girl. He would alert some other guards about the traitor guards.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded.
He formally turns down and answers “Sorry, but I have better things to do.” Knowing for sure he hasn’t had the training for the job.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food.
He goes into the store and sneakily hands the man a portion .
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother.
Jack pulls out his sword slightly as to intimidate the insulter. The huffs and cracks his knuckles. Then Jack pulls out the sword to face the man, and whips it up to the mans neck. The man backs down. Jack Wins.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears.
He ponders on a 40:60 chance of him stealing it. If he DOES, he would flirt a bit before she passes by. Get close then take it when shes not looking. Then he would kiss her and let her pass. And if he DOESN’T, he would do the same thing, except he just woldnt take it.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore? No.
Other notes: Hes also quite a ladies man. And this was written in word. So if it doesnt look correct, im sorry.See. The images didnt work. Dont know how to add those sorry.
MechStar, I'm sorry to say, but this app really didn't meet our standards. Many of your OOC questions seem to be either wrong, or very plain, and you missed quite a few of them. You could of added a lot more to his description, even if you did state he looked like an AC Assassin, could of at least described what it looked like. And about the skin, we NEED to see what it looks like, I don't think it would of been hard to search up how to upload an image. Alright, now here's the biggy, your bio was WAY under 400 words. The whitelisters are really strict about this, and you can see why by the lack of depth in it. Also, your main goal was 'To avenge all that has had wrong done to them'. Who did he want to avenge? You didn't specify that very well, and if you were talking about people in your bio, I didn't follow. Your weaknesses and strengths were very bland, and it seems your strength clearly outweighed the weakness, I would of liked to see more detail in that section. Your ICR's were very short, we were looking for AT LEAST a paragraph, not 2 - 3 sentences, they were also, in my eyes, very dull.
I'm sorry for not being able to accept you into our server, but I wish you luck on finding another!
It is! You should definitely join :3
