Character Information
Name: Redevere Eckhart
Age: 26
Class: A simple laborer aspiring to earn a degree in alchemy.
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Chancellory
Physical description: A slightly pale man with brown hair, and a bit of a stubble. His clothes are always nice and pressed, and his hair is always clean. Gives off an aura of confidence and always seems to have some purpose behind his steps.
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.): Abandoned on the doorstep of a couple in the capitol, Eckhart was never able to meet his true parents. He was left with no knowledge of them but for the chest of things they left him. The contents of that chest remain known only to Eckhart to this very day. Since he was young, Eckhart never particularly cared about his "true" parents because the ones who raised him were, in his mind, his real parents. The ones who dropped him off were simply unimportant. Always perceptive, Eckhart showed great interest in alchemy from a young age. He himself never was able to learn of it, but the concept had always fascinated him. Because his parents didn't have very much money, Eckhart was unable to study at the Academy. He couldn't stand to see his parents in need, so he took up the profession of a laborer. Eckhart made the decision that he would continue to work until his parents could live without him, then go to the academy on his own coin. However, his parents recently died of old age. After burying them with his own hand, Eckhart resolved to keep going until he could honor their memory. He wanted to be somebody. Somebody that his parents would be proud to call his son. He tore down the house of his childhood as a symbol that the past was behind him, and kept moving forward. Or at least, that's what others think of him.
Eckhart's true face is one much more human. He suffers like the rest of us, but he does so in silence. When others break down, Eckhart continues because that's the only way he knows how to live. His motivations so pure, just to be a good son, aren't wholly altruistic. He did love his parents, and would do them proud, but his need for recognition is one born of being abandoned. His secret, what he's never led on to, is that he did care about his real parents. It nagged at him his whole life. Despite all this, Eckhart is still quite logical. His ever increasing perception and logical capacity is his greatest asset, and his motives are not simple, but so very complicated only he himself truly understands it. His drive for alchemy, power, and position will carry him through life, and his end, one way or another. From here, we begin the tale of Redevere Eckhart.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): To become a master alchemist and man of recognition.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Perception, logic, and calmness. Physically, his laboring has tuned his body, he's in quite good shape. Nothing too grand, but certainly stronger than your average rabble-rouser, definitely able-bodies.
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.): Mild insecurity, somewhat afflicted with tunnel vision when his goal is near. He tends to think only of his goal, and may resort to less favorable means to an end. He also has a strong sense of guilt, especially over things beyond his control.
Does your character have any connections to currently-existing characters or characters yet to be accepted? If so, which? (See “Character Linking Aid”. Please post a link to the topic.): Not as of now.
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. Looking around the street, you notice a piece of brick has come loose. I manage to pry it out, then lob the large stone at the head of one of the men, knocking him out. The other men see me carry out the act, and I run as they approach, ducking into a nearby alleyway, I knock trashcans over behind me, knowing men in such heavy armor could not possibly give chase over the obstacles. As the alleyway turns back onto the corner in front of of where the men were harassing the girl, I circle around, grab the girl's hand, and run to the safety of a local tavern.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded. I ask him for a description of the object and it's location, in further detail. I then tell him I'd be happy to retrieve it. I then hire a mercenary to retrieve the object. Days later, he returns with the object, and I pay him less than the man who originally hired me had offered. I then return the item to the man making an easy profit and two parties happier, despite their ignorance of what truly transpired.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food. Things around town have been very busy lately. One of the construction projects I've been working on noted they would be in need of staff once opened. A lodge, the jobs there would not be too physically demanding for an old man. I offer him some of my lunch for the day, and connect him to the right people. Give a man a fish, he will not be hungry that day. Teach a man to fish and he will never be hungry again.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother. Turn to a similarly inebriated fellow, and yell "Are you just going to take that?!?!?!"A fight ensues. After the brawl is underway, I shove the man who threw the insult into a crowd of people, sealing his fate. I promptly finish my business and leave before things start to get too bad. Don't want anybody realizing who started this whole thing.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears. Compliment her on her choice of attire and move along. Stealing isn't worth it, a criminal record would make it difficult to be accepted to the Academy. Continuing on, the pendant quickly leaves his thoughts, as is typical Eckhart fashion. The next day, I pass her by on the same road. Again, the pendant quickly enters and escapes my mind. This pattern repeats for several days, until I don't see the woman on my daily route. Mildly worried about my silent companion of sorts, I look around. The pendant she wears is on the ground near a muddy alleyway, and unending, thin lines in the mud suggest somebody with thin feet was dragged from behind through the alleyway. At the midpoint of the alleyway, the tracks turn into a cellar door. In the cellar, I find the woman tied up and gagged. I remove the bindings, and she explains to me she was kidnapped for ransom, as her husband is affluent. The kidnappers had been tracking her, using the pendant to be able to distinguish her from similar women. I offer my services, and chop her hair short, so she won't be recognized as easily. We escape before the ransomers return from delivering the notice, and the woman gives me her pendant as a reward, as she won't be needing it any longer.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore? Not in particular.
Other notes: While my name is Redevere, I prefer to be called Eckhart.
IGN: Ajk1600 Age: 16 Timezone: US Central (GMT -6) Experience & Play Style (screenshots are welcome): I like redstone. I'm terrible with it, but I think it's fun. I build a secretive house, and prefer to be sustainable, safe, and hidden. Tell us some more about yourself: Been playing Minecraft since alpha, looking for a vanilla server to start fresh on since 1.5. Not really much to say, I'm pretty sociable, so you'll learn all you need to about me if you add me to your server
So I've been playing on this tekkit server lately, and all was fine and dandy. I was derping around in a pool of lava, but then I suddenly disconnected. No big deal, I just log back in, connect... and disconnect again within 30 seconds. Only one or two chunks load, and I can see straight through the ceiling, I have about 30 seconds on a good try before I disconnect. Sometimes, I get about 6-10 seconds. I've reinstalled Java, Tekkit, Minecraft, and rebooted my computer. So I got frustrated and googled the error I got every time I got disconnected.
I came across a thread on these forums that was recent. Somebody offered a solution that seemed to work to everybody else in the thread:
1) You have to edit the hosts file on C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc
2) Add a new line in the end of file:
184.73.223.40 session.minecraft.net
3) Boot your computer. That's all, It worked for me!!
So I tried that, but when I tried to save the host file, it told me I needed admin permission, so I exited out. There wasn't any option to run notepad as an administrator, so I ran windows explorer as an admin, but still no dice. Anybody have a solution.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, I know for sure I haven't been banned/kicked because I was on Teamspeak with the admin as it was going on.
Why Us: Because I was browsing the forums and saw Assassin's creed. Nuff said.
Time You Can Dedicate: Varies, no definite answer. Sorry :/
Have you played Assassin's Creed? All of them, except for Brotherhood.
IC
Name: Aldo Merulo
Gender: M
Age: 28
Fears: His father, Authority (More of a dislike then a fear, for the most part)
Personality: Fluctuates between a warm friend and down-to-business.
Skills: Speech, Archery.
Nickname (Optional): N/A
RP Example (Add Dialogue):
After a long day in the market, Aldo usually visits his favorite pub. Careful not to drink too much, he only has a drink or two. He is not, however, any less merry then the rest of the patronage visiting the small tavern. As happens with any bar, the occasional drunkard ruffian stirs things up, but Aldo drinks so little for precisely this reason. He wishes to take care of the tavern for his friends and the barmaid. This night is one such night. As Aldo enters the room like usual, there was scuffle towards the back of the hall. Approaching the man who seems to be causing trouble, he composes himself and begins to speak.
"Evening, friend. What seems to be the problem?"
The man replied clearly, obviously not intoxicated. "This scumbag owes me money! He's skipped out on his payments for the past two months!" In his large, meaty hands was the collar of one of the regular patrons, a painter.
"Please, violence is distasteful. I'm sure we can work this out, somehow... If you would just sit down, we can see what we should do about this."
Within minutes, Aldo had managed to reduce the man to a crying mess of alcohol.
"I see. You should tell her how you feel, I'm sure she would be delighted to attend. Who could resist a catch such as yourself?"
Nodding, the man got up, staggered to the door, and left.
"Aldo, you snaketongue! You've saved my hide." Thanked the artist.
"The pleasure was mine, Lucas. Just be more careful next time. Now, I've had enough of watches others drink. Let's grab a round."
Aldo put his arm around his friend, and they drank a bit before returning home.
Skin (Link, picture, description): Mostly grey clothing. Aldo doesn't believe in excessive colors, or peacocking with vibrant clothes.
Backstory (1-2 LONG paragraphs):
Born to a nobleman in northern Italy, Aldo was a mechanical child from birth. He liked efficiency, and
often questioned his father's extravagance. One day, however, he went to far. after having to witness the
execution of a thief, Aldo confronted his father. After a long squabble, Aldo's father began abusing him.
This abuse continued until Aldo was 17, when he disowned his family, changed his name, and set off for whatever the world may hold for him.
11 years later, Aldo works as a merchant, funneling a large portion of his profits to charity. A remnant of his childhood, he still fears his father's long talons, and resents public officers. Born the son of a
noble, he, of course, had training in all forms of combat, but always excelled in archery. The market is a tough place, and to get the best prices Aldo became a great speaker, able to speak in front of many without so much as a pause, phrasing everything beautifully or disgustingly as he wants.
Other
What is Roleplay?
Acting as though you were your character. Saying something non-character requires OOC before the sentence. Actions must be that of your character's interest, or what they believe is the best as opposed to what the player knows/believes. They don't have access to information on the GUI unless it concerns their immediate surroundings/inventory. Sentences should be structured appropriately for the period, lore, area, etc.
What is Metagaming?
Taking strategy or outside information and applying it in game. Example: Player A sees XxxX1337PWNAGExxxXXXx as the number 1 spot on his game's leaderboard. When he enters the queue to play a game, if he sees said player on his team, he'll likely stay and make concessions to ensure that 1337 can do his best. If he is aware of 1337 being on the other team, he'll either leave or counter his well known habits.
What is Powergaming?
Focusing on efficiency over fun, example being the grinding present in most MMOs. Rather than having fun playing a side activity or bossing when they both give meager XP rewards, a powergamer would kill the same monster endlessly because it gives more XP, even when it has no variety.
What is Assassin's Creed?
Game developed by Ubisoft, centers around a man named Desmond and his ancestors, the Assassins, fighting the Templars. Parkour and stealth gameplay, combat based around counterattacking rather than being on the offensive, etc. Game one focuses on the memories of Altair, an assassin from the Holy Lands. Two, Brotherhood, and Revelations focus on Ezio, an Italian Renaissance man on a quest for vengeance after his father's murder. He then becomes the leader of the assassins, and unlocks Altair's secret library. AC3 will focus on Conner, a half English, half Mohawk assassin during the American revolution. Oh, and a powerful artifact called the Apple of Eden shows up more than a few times.

3) Boot your computer. That's all, It worked for me!!
So I tried that, but when I tried to save the host file, it told me I needed admin permission, so I exited out. There wasn't any option to run notepad as an administrator, so I ran windows explorer as an admin, but still no dice. Anybody have a solution.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, I know for sure I haven't been banned/kicked because I was on Teamspeak with the admin as it was going on.

I've got a moderate amount of redstone experience, and I like building abstract cities (cities hanging from the ceiling, out of the wall, etc.

IC
Name: Aldo Merulo
Gender: M
Age: 28
Fears: His father, Authority (More of a dislike then a fear, for the most part)
Personality: Fluctuates between a warm friend and down-to-business.
Skills: Speech, Archery.
Nickname (Optional): N/A
RP Example (Add Dialogue):
After a long day in the market, Aldo usually visits his favorite pub. Careful not to drink too much, he only has a drink or two. He is not, however, any less merry then the rest of the patronage visiting the small tavern. As happens with any bar, the occasional drunkard ruffian stirs things up, but Aldo drinks so little for precisely this reason. He wishes to take care of the tavern for his friends and the barmaid. This night is one such night. As Aldo enters the room like usual, there was scuffle towards the back of the hall. Approaching the man who seems to be causing trouble, he composes himself and begins to speak.
"Evening, friend. What seems to be the problem?"
The man replied clearly, obviously not intoxicated. "This scumbag owes me money! He's skipped out on his payments for the past two months!" In his large, meaty hands was the collar of one of the regular patrons, a painter.
"Please, violence is distasteful. I'm sure we can work this out, somehow... If you would just sit down, we can see what we should do about this."
Within minutes, Aldo had managed to reduce the man to a crying mess of alcohol.
"I see. You should tell her how you feel, I'm sure she would be delighted to attend. Who could resist a catch such as yourself?"
Nodding, the man got up, staggered to the door, and left.
"Aldo, you snaketongue! You've saved my hide." Thanked the artist.
"The pleasure was mine, Lucas. Just be more careful next time. Now, I've had enough of watches others drink. Let's grab a round."
Aldo put his arm around his friend, and they drank a bit before returning home.
Skin (Link, picture, description): Mostly grey clothing. Aldo doesn't believe in excessive colors, or peacocking with vibrant clothes.
Backstory (1-2 LONG paragraphs):
Born to a nobleman in northern Italy, Aldo was a mechanical child from birth. He liked efficiency, and
often questioned his father's extravagance. One day, however, he went to far. after having to witness the
execution of a thief, Aldo confronted his father. After a long squabble, Aldo's father began abusing him.
This abuse continued until Aldo was 17, when he disowned his family, changed his name, and set off for whatever the world may hold for him.
11 years later, Aldo works as a merchant, funneling a large portion of his profits to charity. A remnant of his childhood, he still fears his father's long talons, and resents public officers. Born the son of a
noble, he, of course, had training in all forms of combat, but always excelled in archery. The market is a tough place, and to get the best prices Aldo became a great speaker, able to speak in front of many without so much as a pause, phrasing everything beautifully or disgustingly as he wants.

What is Roleplay?
Acting as though you were your character. Saying something non-character requires OOC before the sentence. Actions must be that of your character's interest, or what they believe is the best as opposed to what the player knows/believes. They don't have access to information on the GUI unless it concerns their immediate surroundings/inventory. Sentences should be structured appropriately for the period, lore, area, etc.
What is Metagaming?
Taking strategy or outside information and applying it in game. Example: Player A sees XxxX1337PWNAGExxxXXXx as the number 1 spot on his game's leaderboard. When he enters the queue to play a game, if he sees said player on his team, he'll likely stay and make concessions to ensure that 1337 can do his best. If he is aware of 1337 being on the other team, he'll either leave or counter his well known habits.
What is Powergaming?
Focusing on efficiency over fun, example being the grinding present in most MMOs. Rather than having fun playing a side activity or bossing when they both give meager XP rewards, a powergamer would kill the same monster endlessly because it gives more XP, even when it has no variety.
What is Assassin's Creed?
Game developed by Ubisoft, centers around a man named Desmond and his ancestors, the Assassins, fighting the Templars. Parkour and stealth gameplay, combat based around counterattacking rather than being on the offensive, etc. Game one focuses on the memories of Altair, an assassin from the Holy Lands. Two, Brotherhood, and Revelations focus on Ezio, an Italian Renaissance man on a quest for vengeance after his father's murder. He then becomes the leader of the assassins, and unlocks Altair's secret library. AC3 will focus on Conner, a half English, half Mohawk assassin during the American revolution. Oh, and a powerful artifact called the Apple of Eden shows up more than a few times.

- About yourself (short): I'm Carter, I enjoy Minecraft (duh), RPGs, MMOs, and the like. I dislike conflict, but I'm very good at logically sorting out an argument if need be. I like seeing to it that good builds can be done, it gives me an odd satisfaction.
