Character Information
Name: Treven B. Highwall
Age: 63 (25 in human years)
Race: Elf
Physical description: Treven has bright green eyes and well kempt short black hair. He has a rather skinny stature and is of an average height. As a well accustomed traveler his hands are worn, but he holds the appearance of a business man.
Screen capture of your skin (I recommend uploading to imgur and posting link here):
Biography (Minimum 225 words. Most very fleshed-out characters have around 300, but feel free to use even more than that if you wish. Try and avoid clichés such as loved one being killed by bandits or the like):
Treven grew up with his parents in the forests of mainland Rinion among a tribe of wild elves. Both his father (Arlen) and his mother (Meillion) worked as translators and merchants facilitating trade between the tribes and various merchants along the ports. At a fairly young age his mother started taking Treven on trips from his home in the forest out to trading settlements. As Treven became more accustomed to the city he began his proper schooling, learning of his people (both Arturan Elves and Nomadic Elves) as well as the greater world around him. It was here that he became close friends with a kid by the name of Kalad who belonged to a Rinion-Drunn trading family. As a wild elf he was often looked down upon by others but he quickly showed his class that he deserved a place in school. Treven earned high marks in language and economics, though he fell a bit flat when it came to more physical activities. Later he found that Kalad’s parents had been close to Meillion in their Drunn expeditions. As Treven grew older his mother took him on more and more trips across the continent. He visited Drunn several times with his childhood friend Kalad as well as Arturan and the Crownlands. Being the young kid that he was Treven often found himself committing rather mischievous actions involving certain Drunn artifacts, but nothing too serious ever really came from it. When Treven was 40 (16 in human years) his father Arlen moved to Enris, leaving his one child and wife Meillion to run the business. Arlen assisted in trading deals between the mixing pot and holy land that was Enris and other nations that Treven and Meillion had strong connections with. When the undead sieges began to occur Arlen stayed behind with whatever forces remained, desperately trying to keep supply lines to support the cities. As one city after another fell, so did Arlen. Now Treven is taking his friend Kalad to the new world to fill his father’s role and act as a mediator for the struggling nation and the rest of the greater world.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation):
Treven seeks to uphold his family’s business and to support the nation that his father died for.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Due to Treven’s wide education and knowledge of the world he’s very open-minded and accepting of others. Treven has a way with words, negotiating agreements and trade deals.
Weaknesses (Balance out yours character's strengths with suitable weaknesses. Not knowing how to do something that is outside of your class is not a weakness. I.E. Not knowing how to use a bow as a miner.): Treven is physically weak, more well versed in the academic side of life. He also has troubles making personal connections with others and expressing his emotions to their fullest.

What is the definition of “Powergaming”?: Acting upon a player without giving them a chance to reply. Forcing RP onto another player unwillingly, and avoiding obvious RP in your favor.
What is the definition of “Metagaming”?: Metagaming is simply using out of character knowledge in character.
What is the definition of “Roleplay”?: Roleplay is the act of assuming a persona and acting as them. Simply put, you're playing a role, acting as that person in all ways possible.

Character Information
Name: Olimir Oakley
Age: 20
Class: Farmer/Farmer
Physical description:
Oli is moderately tall, standing at 6'3''. As a farmer by trade he's relatively well built at around 180 lbs. Years of farm labour have certainly paid off. His eyes are a greyish blue color contrasting his dark brown hair. Oli's hands are rough and callused from farm labor, likewise his normally fair skin is colored from work under the sun. His face is rough and worn.
Biography (Minimum 225 words. Most very fleshed-out characters have around 300, but feel free to use even more than that if you wish. No clichés such as loved one being killed by robbers or the like):
Shortly after Olimir was born in 1295 his father left to serve in the Braxian army, leaving Oli with his mother. She was a kind women but it was rough being an only mother. The swift departure of her husband hit her hard and she still had a farm to run. She tried to give as much attention as she could to the newborn, but often she had to rely on others to take care of him as she attempted to expand the farm. Though Olimar didn’t quite comprehend at the time, he soon had a sister. Serra was born two years after Oli’s father left, to another man. Though only half siblings, they were fairly close until the Dad’s army term had come to an end. Oli’s father returns to the family to find a new and quite unexpected daughter. At his return Mom kicks Serra’s father out of the home, and falls back into her own ways. The two children grow under the care of their common mother and soon after had another daughter, Ellie. Herschel (the father) started a forge to help support the three kids and the family flourished. The family was well off, and the children were free to grow up. Serra followed in the footsteps of her new father, spending time with him and learning to become a smith. Contrasting Serra’s choice Oli chose to help his mother with the labor in the farm. He learned a lot from her but she pushed him aside to care for Ellie. As a result Oli learned to be independent at a young age, taking more and more control over the family farm.
Though he would’ve preferred to spend more of his time on the farm, Emma (the mother) insisted he get a proper education. Though rather reluctant; Oli went about completing his years in school throughout his teenage years returning to his farm work with a greater understanding of the world. At the age of 17 he was running the farm almost entirely on his own and starting to look for someone to settle down with.
He worked on the farm for the next 3 years, through the departure of his younger two sisters. The new world intrigued him greatly, but he had a girlfriend, and a farm to attend to. Business was starting to plateau and the land was starting to run dry. It was time to move on, he knew his sisters were waiting for him, and his parents had moved on as well. He had met a girl, but they weren’t close enough to break his family over.
He said his goodbyes and left to the new world.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation):
To better others and the new world, to make a name for himself and his family,
Strengths (Both physical and personality):
One of Oli's biggest strengths is his persistence and willingness to complete gruelling tasks. Once started, he will always finish, whatever that takes. He's physically strong and takes pride in his work.
Weaknesses (Balance out yours character's strengths with suitable weaknesses. Not knowing how to do something that is outside of your class is not a weakness. I.E. Not knowing how to use a bow as a miner.):
Along with persistence comes stubborn bull-headedness. At times he can be a bit... Difficult to negotiate with. Not giving up has its pros and cons. He often fixates on little things and grudges last. In terms of book smarts he's not the most educated either.
What is your character's personality? (Optional; use this field to note character traits that you feel don't fit into either strengths or weaknesses if you wish):
As a person Oli is fairly nice. He's a simple person, he gets his work done, and does his best to be honest. He's gotten this far by being responsible and hard-working. He tries to avoid conflicts to the best of his abilities, but letting go can be difficult. As a result of his bull-headedness he has worked to restrain himself and stay level headed.
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.)
After a recent accident you are left wandering the dark quiet streets of the town with a severe injury:
I make my way to the nearest healer's house, gritting my teeth through the pain. I knock on the door loudly and slump against the wall, sitting on the steps. Trying to breathe deep and slowly I try and calm myself down. After a few more knocks the man comes to the door, rather groggy. I explain to the best of my abilities what had happened, motioning to my wound. I offer him a bit of extra gold for his troubles and ask to stay at his until I'm feeling better.
In a tavern, a stranger threatens you to fight him/her:
I calmly tell the stranger to mind his own business and return to my conversation. The man approaches me rather angry (and drunk). As he gets closer I aim one quick punch at his groin and quietly sit back down. No need letting the situation evolve into anything more.

I'm really excited to see so much going on again! Everything's been really active recently and I've been getting so much done! I'll start working on The Market System soon too. This is a thanks to all of the players that have made the server and community such a great place! We're always open to suggestions as well, just head on over to our forums http://goo.gl/GdxrS5. We'd love to hear any feedback (especially on the code that I've made)!
Intro
Your Server will be a unique survival server made by YOU. The basic premise is simple enough, 100% original code. In addition to pre-existing mechanics (explained below) every week a poll will be held for a new feature. As a player, you can submit your ideas, and if enough of your peers vote for it, it could be added! These features could be anything from buffed mobs and loot drops to seasons, factions, stores, you name it! The goal of Your Server is to provide a dynamic changing server run by the players. Be prepared for anything! Plagues, famines, wars, you could be in the middle of it all.
I'm currently consolidating the code for everything now, it's a chance to make use of all of my prior work, meet new people, and form a nice community. Expect many new starting features! If you'd like to get into some good RP, check out my other server! LINK
The Map
This is the current tentative map design free for you to explore! It's prone to change, and will slowly be populated with structures. Keep in mind that everything is prone to change.
Restrictions Your Server does have several restrictions to prevent players from getting too ahead of eachother. The main restriction is the daily point limit. Each IRL day every player will have a total of 100 (Will be balanced through play) points which are expended when breaking blocks, placing blocks, and crafting. You shouldn't have to worry too much about these, just make sure to use up all you can each day.
Crafting Crafting is a bit different as well, as a result of the point system. Instead of simple vanilla recipes, things will be a bit more complicated. Crafting takes place in a dispenser as a multistage process. Instead of crafting a sword out of a stick and two iron, you may need to first craft a hilt, blade, sharpen the blade, and bind the pieces together. The result is items that are worth more and take a realistic amount of resources. Trading will be highly encouraged. The new crafting system will also eventually come with custom items in addition to the intermediate materials.
Chat Just like everything else, chat is custom done. Like many other plugins you'll have access to global, local, and a sophisticated /tell and /reply system. The main thing that sets this chat system apart from many others is the local chat (which is encouraged). Local chat functions based on volume, distance, and obstruction. Though a person may be shouting, you may not be able to hear them through thick stone. Based on the distance between players and the blocks along that path, local chat is muffled.
Server Rules
General Rules:
1. Be respectful of the server, other players, and the staff
2. Do not make offensive/racist remarks
3. Do not use profanities of any sort on the server or on our forums. In character, “Frak” may be used as a basic expletive.
4. Do not advertise other servers
5. Do not troll/grief/spam etc.
6. Do not landscar. This means don’t go making the map look less awesome. An example of what NOT to do would be digging random 1x2 tunnels in walls. Seriously man, not cool.
7. Not a rule, but HIGHLY SUGGESTED. Use proper spelling in grammar. In this thread, in your app, on our site. This alone does a lot to shape how people perceive you.
8. Do not use hacks, flymods, X-rays or the like.
9. Do not post anything of a sexual nature, or links to inappropriate sites. As a general rule of thumb, keep things PG-10 or below.
11. Do not use programs to scan our ports, or similar programs used in hacking. If you are found to be utilizing these programs, it can result in an immediate permaban.
Application Not everybody can join the server. We'll start out with a limited number of players and go from there. If you'd like to be added to the whitelist and have your opinion heard, fill out the application and post it below. Questions marked with a * are required.

Nexus wars is/will be a collection of gamemodes focused solely around the concept of Nexuses and Level Transfer. I currently need somewhat qualified alpha testers. Alpha testing will be somewhat sporadic this Summer. We'll be playing at least one weekly game, though I will ask for testers often in the skype group. Hop on if you're free. If you think you have what it takes, send me a PM with this application:
What is your IGN: Would you be willing to join the skype group?: How old are you?: What tactical/pvp experience do you have?: Why do you want to help test?:
Alpha testers will be given pride of place in a hall of fame.
The first Alpha Test game will be run and recorded this weekend playing on the Default gamemode.
Follow me on Youtube for updates and gameplay videos:
Base Mechanics (These mechanics are almost always the same)
When interacting with a Nexus, you either steal levels, of give levels based on your team. By interacting (right clicking), you transfer levels at an increment determined by your tool, base 1. When killing an enemy player, you gain all of their levels plus 10. This means that you will always get at least 10 levels from a kill. In addition to the level incentive, you get bonuses for kill streaks. At first 300 points/player may seem a bit steep, but after a few kills it goes by fast. At your first kill, you receive a wooden shovel. This tool transfers levels at 5 times the rate of your open hand. At 5 kills, you receive a stone shovel which transfers at 10 times the rate of an open hand.
Killing is the only way to stay alive. You may notice, no kits have food. Instead, you get 2 steak for every kill you get in addition to a short health regen bufff. While in battle with a player, you can steal levels by right clicking them; though always at an increment of one. Similarly, you can give levels to allies by right clicking them. Due to AmoebaMan's CombatMods, several other features are added. These include headshots, leaps/lunges, parries, assassinations, and ballistae.
Default
The base gamemode of Nexus Wars is simply called Default for lack of a better name. In Default there are two teams, Red, and Blue. Each team consists of an even number of players due to auto-sorting. When the game begins, each of the two teams starts with 10,000 points or levels. The goal of the game is to raise your teams score to 10,100 + 300/Team Mmember. To gain points, you must either steal from the enemies Nexus, or harvest levels from a live enemy.
XP Race
This gamemode can be likened to KotH (King of the Hill). Each team starts with 0 points where the only source is a neutral Nexus in the middle. The two teams must fight for the levels to win. The victory conditions remain at 10,100 + 300/Team Member. After levels have been returned to either teams Nexus, they cannot be retrieved.
Clusters
This gamemode has no easy equivalent. Each team starts with 0 points, levels cannot be stolen directly from the Nexuses. Randomly, clusters of levels will appear at designated locations on the map. It is the players job to locate these clusters, pick them up, and return them to their own Nexus. The victory conditions remain at 10,100 + 300/Team Member.
Current Kits:
Bladesman - Full Leather + Iron Chest, Sharpness 1 Diamond Sword, slow buff.
Archer - Full Leather, Infinity 1 Power 1 Bow, normal speed.
Scout - Leather Chest, Punch 1 Knockback 1 Bow, 32 Arrows, speed buff.
Note: These three kits will stay the "basic" kits. By voting on PMC or Minestatus you get charges which allow you to test-drive premium kits.
Beta Release
The open beta should be available for the public in roughly a month, depending on how things go. If you want to play in testing games before then, send me a PM.

I fail to understand how this is officially the #1 RP server. You can't just say that, unless you've been on EVERY RP server... That kind of thing bugs me.
Hey guys, Baeshra here. Today we're playing some more FTB. We're going to get a deceptively large amount of work done today. Next episode I can work on the skeleton grinder, and in turn the tree farm, wheat farm, and bio-gas production. Sadly, I'm still in the thick of end of the year homework. I'm focusing on getting a video out every Monday. I'll make up the missed days soon.
Hey guys, Baeshra here. Today we're restarting the turtle mode series. Previously I had been running a channel with 80 subs or so, though many were inactive. Circumstances forced me to switch channels, and I thought it would be a great opportunity to restart the series. This time the rules are a bit more loose. I've decided to simply focus on turtle based machines and contraptions as the previous rules were simply annoying as opposed to challenging.
You can look at Turtle Mode V1 on my old channel, Orngix.
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): Yes, baeshra.
Have you read all of the rules, agree to abide by them, and by the decisions of our staff?: Yes, I agree to abide by the rules and decisions made by staff.
What is the definition of “Powergaming”?: Powergaming is forcing an action upon another player without giving them a chance to RP or refute it. Example: I chop her head off instead of I swing my sword at her head.
What is the definition of “Metagaming”?: Metagaming is using OOC knowledge that your IC character wouldn't know to further your IC character in any way.
What is the definition of “Roleplay”?: Roleplaying is the act of taking on another persona and acting as if you were them.
Who can use flymod, X-ray and other such clientsided mods?: Nobody
When are you allowed to cause the death of another character?: You can only cause a death of another player if they agree.
When are you allowed to speak out of character?: When using (())
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?: Only Priests and those with a Magery Degree
Who are the Fallen?: The Fallen or Medori are another nationality of human that has been secluded from the Chancellory. They are also known as "gypsies".
When and how did our current government come to be?: The Chancellory has been in charge since 169 A.R, following the defeat of the old Linyera Monarchy in 167 A.R. at the Planes of Raun.
Who are the Order of Aradin?: The Order of Aradin was created in 170 A.R. to protect the Chancellory. It has recently fallen into disarray.
What are the Net and Essence? Essence is essentially XP. It is used to aid the Net when you fall. The Net catches players who fall off islands, without xp, all items are lost. If players have 3 levels or more, their items are saved and 3 levels are taken.
What previous roleplay experience have you had, if any?: I've played a deal of Dnd as well as other RP servers.
If you have played on other RP servers, please say which and why you left: I've played on Silver Age, Book of Halegron, and Shrines of the Ancients. Silver Age ended at the apocolypse and morphed into BoH. BoH ended due to a fatal server issue and Gamer's stepping down. SotA ended due to the darkness that the server enviroment had morphed into and the want of both Server Owners to try their hands at another server.
Character Information
Name: Arkacesis
Age: 28
Class: Craftsman
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Citizen of the Chancellory
Physical description: Ark is a somewhat weak man with an affinity for crafting. Luckily, crafting is no all brute strength, but precision and knowledge. He has bright green eyes complimented by his goggles. He wears an aviator suit, despite the fact that he is not technically an aviator. In comparison to most others, he is rather skinny. His hands are deeply callused from his crafting work.
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.):
Ark grew up in a small room on the top floor of the Factory. His dad, Arthur, ran the factory at the time while his mom, Lea, worked as a seamstress, working the sail machines. He lived a simple life. Arkacesis never attended public schools or the Academy as Lea had convinced Arthur to let her home-school him. He lived a somewhat sheltered life, he had few friends, and those that he did have left to pursue life goals; trying to find that last lapis lazuli pocket or exploring the reaches in a new airship. His friends didn't last. Living as an only child didn’t help his self-esteem too much. When he was in the city, he was made fun of, when he was at home, he was forced to do “school work”. Depression began to creep up out of the darkness and consume him. He kept his woes from his family for fear of punishment and trudged on through his miserable life.
As Ark began to grow older, Arthur thrust more and more responsibility upon him. At the age of 10, he began helping his father with ship repairs. The ship designs at the time were lethargic and fragile, any infrastructure damage could cause life failure and therefore death. The job was stressful, very stressful. Arthur would never let a ship out of the shop without a thorough inspection, and whenever he found an inconsistency he found some reason to blame Arkacesis for it. At the age of 14, his parents deemed it allowable for Ark to travel alone. He took every possible opportunity to leave his home and family in favor of a religious life.
His parents had always neglected to teach him about religion. Living a secluded, life, he knew little about it. On one of his longer "excursions" away from home, he ran into the Cathedral by Brightwater. Enlightened by the kind Priest who met his questions with deep and anwering words, he wondered what was wrong with his own parents. Why had they never shown him the path to light? Had they hated him? Another question arose: Did they not teach him the ways because they themselves did not believe them, or because they wanted him to be sent to hell? Either way, his parents were monsters.
Over the following years Ark found more and more time to spend at the Monestary. He sucked in the knowledge, hoping that this "Path to Light" might help pull him out of the darkness then encircled his inner most thoughts. Indeed, over time, the darkness lifted. Ark had finally found a way to life that made everything make sense, he was whole and right. His parents were incomplete, misguided invidiuals. The church was his home now. Arthur still demanded that he do his work at home, but Ark always managed to find a way out of it. Life was good. UNTIL THE FIRE NATION ATTACKED
At the age of 18, his father died. Arthur was only 48 at the time, sadly age doesn't have much to do with a faulty harness. He fell off the bottom of the airship, had he been over the net, he would have been safe, but the ship was over land. He plummeted into the trees below, his body found mangled in the branches below, leaves stained red with hate. Now that Arthur was gone, the family factory was left to him. Though the art of crafting had long since slipped from Ark’s fingers, he still had hope in his heart Lea could be saved from the darkness that he himself had been entrapped in. Taking up the reigns in the factory, Ark learned how to work. Without Arthur’s influence on Lea, she herself became a much kinder person. Lea confided in Ark, just as Ark confided in her. Lea began to understand her son, and see what Arthur had done to the family. Ark continued to try to pull his mother to the light, but she just held on harder to the dark.
Ark turned his mind to technology. Religion had given him a thirst to learn. He began to invent. He toyed with wiring, machinery, steam, gears, cogs, and more. He soon became known for his inventions. By the age of 27 he had invented the first ever steam engine; richer than ever, he continued his life in relative luxury. Several months after his greatest invention, his mother passed. It was inevitable, not even healing magic could save her. Ark attributed it to her lack of faith in the God, and moved on.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): He wants to bring together the arts of science and religion by showing everyone that they can compliment one another.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Ark has little physical strength, though this physical strength is replaced with a strength of mind and heart. He is very kind to most and is always willing to help.
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.): Ark quickly cracks under any amount of pressure due to his rough childhood.
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 prior linkings, all connections were done IC.
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. Thinking to himself, Ark quickly realizes he can do little to help the girl. He shouts at the two men and begins to run. The two armed men begin to pursue at a lessened speed, due to their armor. Ark begins to slow his pace so that the men do not lose sight of him. Walking calmly into the guard house, Ark report the men who enter behind me, yelling.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded. Ark simply refuses. He has other work to do, and has no interest in working for strange men. Nothing good could have come from the deal.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food. Ark sits down next to the man and passes him a large chunk of hard tack. After letting him eat and drink, Ark begins to inquire about the mans life and the circumstances and events that led to his homelessness.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother. Ark agrees with the insult, thinking: My mother WAS a monster, and continues to eat his food.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears. Ark approaches the women and politley ask her where she got it. After waiting for her reply, he inquires if he may purchase it from her. Seeing as the women looks pregnant, Ark pays a bit extra, hoping that her family goes well.

What are the Net and Essence? Essence is essentially XP. It is used to aid the Net when you fall. The Net catches players who fall off islands, without xp, all items are lost. If players have 3 levels or more, their items are saved and 3 levels are taken.
What previous roleplay experience have you had, if any?: I've played a deal of Dnd as well as other RP servers.
If you have played on other RP servers, please say which and why you left: I've played on Silver Age, Book of Halegron, and Shrines of the Ancients. Silver Age ended at the apocolypse and morphed into BoH. BoH ended due to a fatal server issue and Gamer's stepping down. SotA ended due to the darkness that the server enviroment had morphed into and the want of both Server Owners to try their hands at another server.
Character Information
Name: Arkacesis
Age: 28
Class: Craftsman
Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Citizen of the Chancellory
Physical description: Ark is a somewhat weak man with an affinity for crafting. Luckily, crafting is no all brute strength, but precision and knowledge. He has bright green eyes complimented by his goggles. He wears an aviator suit, despite the fact that he is not technically an aviator. In comparison to most others, he is rather skinny. His hands are deeply callused from his crafting work.
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.):
Ark grew up in a small room on the top floor of the Factory. His dad, Arthur, ran the factory at the time while his mom, Lea, worked as a seamstress, working the sail machines. He lived a simple life. Arkacesis never attended public schools or the Academy as Lea had convinced Arthur to let her home-school him. He lived a somewhat sheltered life, he had few friends, and those that he did have left to pursue life goals; trying to find that last lapis lazuli pocket or exploring the reaches in a new airship. His friends didn't last. Living as an only child didn’t help his self-esteem too much. When he was in the city, he was made fun of, when he was at home, he was forced to do “school work”. Depression began to creep up out of the darkness and consume him. He kept his woes from his family for fear of punishment and trudged on through his miserable life.
As Ark began to grow older, Arthur thrust more and more responsibility upon him. At the age of 10, he began helping his father with ship repairs. The ship designs at the time were lethargic and fragile, any infrastructure damage could cause life failure and therefore death. The job was stressful, very stressful. Arthur would never let a ship out of the shop without a thorough inspection, and whenever he found an inconsistency he found some reason to blame Arkacesis for it. At the age of 14, his parents deemed it allowable for Ark to travel alone. He took every possible opportunity to leave his home and family in favor of a religious life.
His parents had always neglected to teach him about religion. Living a secluded, life, he knew little about it. On one of his longer "excursions" away from home, he ran into the Cathedral by Brightwater. Enlightened by the kind Priest who met his questions with deep and anwering words, he wondered what was wrong with his own parents. Why had they never shown him the path to light? Had they hated him? Another question arose: Did they not teach him the ways because they themselves did not believe them, or because they wanted him to be sent to hell? Either way, his parents were monsters.
Over the following years Ark found more and more time to spend at the Monestary. He sucked in the knowledge, hoping that this "Path to Light" might help pull him out of the darkness then encircled his inner most thoughts. Indeed, over time, the darkness lifted. Ark had finally found a way to life that made everything make sense, he was whole and right. His parents were incomplete, misguided invidiuals. The church was his home now. Arthur still demanded that he do his work at home, but Ark always managed to find a way out of it. Life was good. UNTIL THE FIRE NATION ATTACKED
At the age of 18, his father died. Arthur was only 48 at the time, sadly age doesn't have much to do with a faulty harness. He fell off the bottom of the airship, had he been over the net, he would have been safe, but the ship was over land. He plummeted into the trees below, his body found mangled in the branches below, leaves stained red with hate. Now that Arthur was gone, the family factory was left to him. Though the art of crafting had long since slipped from Ark’s fingers, he still had hope in his heart Lea could be saved from the darkness that he himself had been entrapped in. Taking up the reigns in the factory, Ark learned how to work. Without Arthur’s influence on Lea, she herself became a much kinder person. Lea confided in Ark, just as Ark confided in her. Lea began to understand her son, and see what Arthur had done to the family. Ark continued to try to pull his mother to the light, but she just held on harder to the dark.
Ark turned his mind to technology. Religion had given him a thirst to learn. He began to invent. He toyed with wiring, machinery, steam, gears, cogs, and more. He soon became known for his inventions. By the age of 27 he had invented the first ever steam engine; richer than ever, he continued his life in relative luxury. Several months after his greatest invention, his mother passed. It was inevitable, not even healing magic could save her. Ark attributed it to her lack of faith in the God, and moved on.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation):
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Ark has little physical strength, though this physical strength is replaced with a strength of mind and heart. He is very kind to most and is always willing to help.
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.): Ark quickly cracks under any amount of pressure due to his rough childhood.
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 prior linkings, all connections were done IC.
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. Thinking to himself, Ark quickly realizes he can do little to help the girl. He shouts at the two men and begins to run. The two armed men begin to pursue at a lessened speed, due to their armor. Ark begins to slow his pace so that the men do not lose sight of him. Walking calmly into the guard house, Ark report the men who enter behind me, yelling.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded. Ark simply refuses. He has other work to do, and has no interest in working for strange men. Nothing good could have come from the deal.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food. Ark sits down next to the man and passes him a large chunk of hard tack. After letting him eat and drink, Ark begins to inquire about the mans life and the circumstances and events that led to his homelessness.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother. Ark agrees with the insult, thinking: My mother WAS a monster, and continues to eat his food.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears. Ark approaches the women and politley ask her where she got it. After waiting for her reply, he inquires if he may purchase it from her. Seeing as the women looks pregnant, Ark pays a bit extra, hoping that her family goes well.
Do you have any questions about the server or our lore? What is the tech timeline like? I can't seem to find any info about it.
Other notes: Do you know what they say in the club? I'm not quite sure...
I did /testfor @a[y=10] on a command block to make sure it doesn't work. Command blocks can only search in a spherical area, not rectangular. or in my case just y.
Yes. I know. My question was just to confirm that there was no other way to accomplish this without having a command block for every possible location.
I've been struggling with this problem for quite a while and I at this point I believe it to be impossible. The question is: Is it possible to use a command block to effect players that match a specific y coordinate but could be at any x/z coordinate? If so, how? If not, why not?
I have searched around a deal before making this post. If there is already a thread or info on this please link me to it as it has illuded me.
The testfor command outputs a signal strength based on the number of players that meet the requirements. Instead of using c = 2 just have a 2 long wire extending from the comparator attached to a repeater. Also remember that the output will only be updated when the command block is activated.

Character Information
Name: Treven B. Highwall
Age: 63 (25 in human years)
Race: Elf
Physical description: Treven has bright green eyes and well kempt short black hair. He has a rather skinny stature and is of an average height. As a well accustomed traveler his hands are worn, but he holds the appearance of a business man.
Screen capture of your skin (I recommend uploading to imgur and posting link here):
http://i.imgur.com/PvvUH9G.
Biography (Minimum 225 words. Most very fleshed-out characters have around 300, but feel free to use even more than that if you wish. Try and avoid clichés such as loved one being killed by bandits or the like):
Treven grew up with his parents in the forests of mainland Rinion among a tribe of wild elves. Both his father (Arlen) and his mother (Meillion) worked as translators and merchants facilitating trade between the tribes and various merchants along the ports. At a fairly young age his mother started taking Treven on trips from his home in the forest out to trading settlements. As Treven became more accustomed to the city he began his proper schooling, learning of his people (both Arturan Elves and Nomadic Elves) as well as the greater world around him. It was here that he became close friends with a kid by the name of Kalad who belonged to a Rinion-Drunn trading family. As a wild elf he was often looked down upon by others but he quickly showed his class that he deserved a place in school. Treven earned high marks in language and economics, though he fell a bit flat when it came to more physical activities. Later he found that Kalad’s parents had been close to Meillion in their Drunn expeditions. As Treven grew older his mother took him on more and more trips across the continent. He visited Drunn several times with his childhood friend Kalad as well as Arturan and the Crownlands. Being the young kid that he was Treven often found himself committing rather mischievous actions involving certain Drunn artifacts, but nothing too serious ever really came from it. When Treven was 40 (16 in human years) his father Arlen moved to Enris, leaving his one child and wife Meillion to run the business. Arlen assisted in trading deals between the mixing pot and holy land that was Enris and other nations that Treven and Meillion had strong connections with. When the undead sieges began to occur Arlen stayed behind with whatever forces remained, desperately trying to keep supply lines to support the cities. As one city after another fell, so did Arlen. Now Treven is taking his friend Kalad to the new world to fill his father’s role and act as a mediator for the struggling nation and the rest of the greater world.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation):
Treven seeks to uphold his family’s business and to support the nation that his father died for.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Due to Treven’s wide education and knowledge of the world he’s very open-minded and accepting of others. Treven has a way with words, negotiating agreements and trade deals.
Weaknesses (Balance out yours character's strengths with suitable weaknesses. Not knowing how to do something that is outside of your class is not a weakness. I.E. Not knowing how to use a bow as a miner.): Treven is physically weak, more well versed in the academic side of life. He also has troubles making personal connections with others and expressing his emotions to their fullest.

Character Information
Name: Olimir Oakley
Age: 20
Class: Farmer/Farmer
Physical description:
Oli is moderately tall, standing at 6'3''. As a farmer by trade he's relatively well built at around 180 lbs. Years of farm labour have certainly paid off. His eyes are a greyish blue color contrasting his dark brown hair. Oli's hands are rough and callused from farm labor, likewise his normally fair skin is colored from work under the sun. His face is rough and worn.
Screen capture of your skin: http://i.imgur.com/q3b3tc8.png
Biography (Minimum 225 words. Most very fleshed-out characters have around 300, but feel free to use even more than that if you wish. No clichés such as loved one being killed by robbers or the like):
Shortly after Olimir was born in 1295 his father left to serve in the Braxian army, leaving Oli with his mother. She was a kind women but it was rough being an only mother. The swift departure of her husband hit her hard and she still had a farm to run. She tried to give as much attention as she could to the newborn, but often she had to rely on others to take care of him as she attempted to expand the farm. Though Olimar didn’t quite comprehend at the time, he soon had a sister. Serra was born two years after Oli’s father left, to another man. Though only half siblings, they were fairly close until the Dad’s army term had come to an end. Oli’s father returns to the family to find a new and quite unexpected daughter. At his return Mom kicks Serra’s father out of the home, and falls back into her own ways. The two children grow under the care of their common mother and soon after had another daughter, Ellie. Herschel (the father) started a forge to help support the three kids and the family flourished. The family was well off, and the children were free to grow up. Serra followed in the footsteps of her new father, spending time with him and learning to become a smith. Contrasting Serra’s choice Oli chose to help his mother with the labor in the farm. He learned a lot from her but she pushed him aside to care for Ellie. As a result Oli learned to be independent at a young age, taking more and more control over the family farm.
Though he would’ve preferred to spend more of his time on the farm, Emma (the mother) insisted he get a proper education. Though rather reluctant; Oli went about completing his years in school throughout his teenage years returning to his farm work with a greater understanding of the world. At the age of 17 he was running the farm almost entirely on his own and starting to look for someone to settle down with.
He worked on the farm for the next 3 years, through the departure of his younger two sisters. The new world intrigued him greatly, but he had a girlfriend, and a farm to attend to. Business was starting to plateau and the land was starting to run dry. It was time to move on, he knew his sisters were waiting for him, and his parents had moved on as well. He had met a girl, but they weren’t close enough to break his family over.
He said his goodbyes and left to the new world.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation):
To better others and the new world, to make a name for himself and his family,
Strengths (Both physical and personality):
One of Oli's biggest strengths is his persistence and willingness to complete gruelling tasks. Once started, he will always finish, whatever that takes. He's physically strong and takes pride in his work.
Weaknesses (Balance out yours character's strengths with suitable weaknesses. Not knowing how to do something that is outside of your class is not a weakness. I.E. Not knowing how to use a bow as a miner.):
Along with persistence comes stubborn bull-headedness. At times he can be a bit... Difficult to negotiate with. Not giving up has its pros and cons. He often fixates on little things and grudges last. In terms of book smarts he's not the most educated either.
What is your character's personality? (Optional; use this field to note character traits that you feel don't fit into either strengths or weaknesses if you wish):
As a person Oli is fairly nice. He's a simple person, he gets his work done, and does his best to be honest. He's gotten this far by being responsible and hard-working. He tries to avoid conflicts to the best of his abilities, but letting go can be difficult. As a result of his bull-headedness he has worked to restrain himself and stay level headed.
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.)
After a recent accident you are left wandering the dark quiet streets of the town with a severe injury:
I make my way to the nearest healer's house, gritting my teeth through the pain. I knock on the door loudly and slump against the wall, sitting on the steps. Trying to breathe deep and slowly I try and calm myself down. After a few more knocks the man comes to the door, rather groggy. I explain to the best of my abilities what had happened, motioning to my wound. I offer him a bit of extra gold for his troubles and ask to stay at his until I'm feeling better.
In a tavern, a stranger threatens you to fight him/her:
I calmly tell the stranger to mind his own business and return to my conversation. The man approaches me rather angry (and drunk). As he gets closer I aim one quick punch at his groin and quietly sit back down. No need letting the situation evolve into anything more.

Your Server will be a unique survival server made by YOU. The basic premise is simple enough, 100% original code. In addition to pre-existing mechanics (explained below) every week a poll will be held for a new feature. As a player, you can submit your ideas, and if enough of your peers vote for it, it could be added! These features could be anything from buffed mobs and loot drops to seasons, factions, stores, you name it! The goal of Your Server is to provide a dynamic changing server run by the players. Be prepared for anything! Plagues, famines, wars, you could be in the middle of it all.
I'm currently consolidating the code for everything now, it's a chance to make use of all of my prior work, meet new people, and form a nice community. Expect many new starting features! If you'd like to get into some good RP, check out my other server! LINK
The Map
This is the current tentative map design free for you to explore! It's prone to change, and will slowly be populated with structures. Keep in mind that everything is prone to change.
Restrictions
Your Server does have several restrictions to prevent players from getting too ahead of eachother. The main restriction is the daily point limit. Each IRL day every player will have a total of 100 (Will be balanced through play) points which are expended when breaking blocks, placing blocks, and crafting. You shouldn't have to worry too much about these, just make sure to use up all you can each day.
Crafting
Crafting is a bit different as well, as a result of the point system. Instead of simple vanilla recipes, things will be a bit more complicated. Crafting takes place in a dispenser as a multistage process. Instead of crafting a sword out of a stick and two iron, you may need to first craft a hilt, blade, sharpen the blade, and bind the pieces together. The result is items that are worth more and take a realistic amount of resources. Trading will be highly encouraged. The new crafting system will also eventually come with custom items in addition to the intermediate materials.
Chat
Just like everything else, chat is custom done. Like many other plugins you'll have access to global, local, and a sophisticated /tell and /reply system. The main thing that sets this chat system apart from many others is the local chat (which is encouraged). Local chat functions based on volume, distance, and obstruction. Though a person may be shouting, you may not be able to hear them through thick stone. Based on the distance between players and the blocks along that path, local chat is muffled.
Server Rules
General Rules:
1. Be respectful of the server, other players, and the staff
2. Do not make offensive/racist remarks
3. Do not use profanities of any sort on the server or on our forums. In character, “Frak” may be used as a basic expletive.
4. Do not advertise other servers
5. Do not troll/grief/spam etc.
6. Do not landscar. This means don’t go making the map look less awesome. An example of what NOT to do would be digging random 1x2 tunnels in walls. Seriously man, not cool.
7. Not a rule, but HIGHLY SUGGESTED. Use proper spelling in grammar. In this thread, in your app, on our site. This alone does a lot to shape how people perceive you.
8. Do not use hacks, flymods, X-rays or the like.
9. Do not post anything of a sexual nature, or links to inappropriate sites. As a general rule of thumb, keep things PG-10 or below.
11. Do not use programs to scan our ports, or similar programs used in hacking. If you are found to be utilizing these programs, it can result in an immediate permaban.
Application
Not everybody can join the server. We'll start out with a limited number of players and go from there. If you'd like to be added to the whitelist and have your opinion heard, fill out the application and post it below. Questions marked with a * are required.

Intro:
Base Mechanics (These mechanics are almost always the same)
When interacting with a Nexus, you either steal levels, of give levels based on your team. By interacting (right clicking), you transfer levels at an increment determined by your tool, base 1. When killing an enemy player, you gain all of their levels plus 10. This means that you will always get at least 10 levels from a kill. In addition to the level incentive, you get bonuses for kill streaks. At first 300 points/player may seem a bit steep, but after a few kills it goes by fast. At your first kill, you receive a wooden shovel. This tool transfers levels at 5 times the rate of your open hand. At 5 kills, you receive a stone shovel which transfers at 10 times the rate of an open hand.
Killing is the only way to stay alive. You may notice, no kits have food. Instead, you get 2 steak for every kill you get in addition to a short health regen bufff. While in battle with a player, you can steal levels by right clicking them; though always at an increment of one. Similarly, you can give levels to allies by right clicking them. Due to AmoebaMan's CombatMods, several other features are added. These include headshots, leaps/lunges, parries, assassinations, and ballistae.
Default
The base gamemode of Nexus Wars is simply called Default for lack of a better name. In Default there are two teams, Red, and Blue. Each team consists of an even number of players due to auto-sorting. When the game begins, each of the two teams starts with 10,000 points or levels. The goal of the game is to raise your teams score to 10,100 + 300/Team Mmember. To gain points, you must either steal from the enemies Nexus, or harvest levels from a live enemy.
XP Race
This gamemode can be likened to KotH (King of the Hill). Each team starts with 0 points where the only source is a neutral Nexus in the middle. The two teams must fight for the levels to win. The victory conditions remain at 10,100 + 300/Team Member. After levels have been returned to either teams Nexus, they cannot be retrieved.
Clusters
This gamemode has no easy equivalent. Each team starts with 0 points, levels cannot be stolen directly from the Nexuses. Randomly, clusters of levels will appear at designated locations on the map. It is the players job to locate these clusters, pick them up, and return them to their own Nexus. The victory conditions remain at 10,100 + 300/Team Member.
Current Kits:
Bladesman - Full Leather + Iron Chest, Sharpness 1 Diamond Sword, slow buff.
Archer - Full Leather, Infinity 1 Power 1 Bow, normal speed.
Scout - Leather Chest, Punch 1 Knockback 1 Bow, 32 Arrows, speed buff.
Note: These three kits will stay the "basic" kits. By voting on PMC or Minestatus you get charges which allow you to test-drive premium kits.
Beta Release
The open beta should be available for the public in roughly a month, depending on how things go. If you want to play in testing games before then, send me a PM.

Citizen of the Chancellory or a member of the Medori?: Citizen of the Chancellory
Physical description: Ark is a somewhat weak man with an affinity for crafting. Luckily, crafting is no all brute strength, but precision and knowledge. He has bright green eyes complimented by his goggles. He wears an aviator suit, despite the fact that he is not technically an aviator. In comparison to most others, he is rather skinny. His hands are deeply callused from his crafting work.
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.):
Ark grew up in a small room on the top floor of the Factory. His dad, Arthur, ran the factory at the time while his mom, Lea, worked as a seamstress, working the sail machines. He lived a simple life. Arkacesis never attended public schools or the Academy as Lea had convinced Arthur to let her home-school him. He lived a somewhat sheltered life, he had few friends, and those that he did have left to pursue life goals; trying to find that last lapis lazuli pocket or exploring the reaches in a new airship. His friends didn't last. Living as an only child didn’t help his self-esteem too much. When he was in the city, he was made fun of, when he was at home, he was forced to do “school work”. Depression began to creep up out of the darkness and consume him. He kept his woes from his family for fear of punishment and trudged on through his miserable life.
As Ark began to grow older, Arthur thrust more and more responsibility upon him. At the age of 10, he began helping his father with ship repairs. The ship designs at the time were lethargic and fragile, any infrastructure damage could cause life failure and therefore death. The job was stressful, very stressful. Arthur would never let a ship out of the shop without a thorough inspection, and whenever he found an inconsistency he found some reason to blame Arkacesis for it. At the age of 14, his parents deemed it allowable for Ark to travel alone. He took every possible opportunity to leave his home and family in favor of a religious life.
His parents had always neglected to teach him about religion. Living a secluded, life, he knew little about it. On one of his longer "excursions" away from home, he ran into the Cathedral by Brightwater. Enlightened by the kind Priest who met his questions with deep and anwering words, he wondered what was wrong with his own parents. Why had they never shown him the path to light? Had they hated him? Another question arose: Did they not teach him the ways because they themselves did not believe them, or because they wanted him to be sent to hell? Either way, his parents were monsters.
Over the following years Ark found more and more time to spend at the Monestary. He sucked in the knowledge, hoping that this "Path to Light" might help pull him out of the darkness then encircled his inner most thoughts. Indeed, over time, the darkness lifted. Ark had finally found a way to life that made everything make sense, he was whole and right. His parents were incomplete, misguided invidiuals. The church was his home now. Arthur still demanded that he do his work at home, but Ark always managed to find a way out of it. Life was good. UNTIL THE FIRE NATION ATTACKED
At the age of 18, his father died. Arthur was only 48 at the time, sadly age doesn't have much to do with a faulty harness. He fell off the bottom of the airship, had he been over the net, he would have been safe, but the ship was over land. He plummeted into the trees below, his body found mangled in the branches below, leaves stained red with hate. Now that Arthur was gone, the family factory was left to him. Though the art of crafting had long since slipped from Ark’s fingers, he still had hope in his heart Lea could be saved from the darkness that he himself had been entrapped in. Taking up the reigns in the factory, Ark learned how to work. Without Arthur’s influence on Lea, she herself became a much kinder person. Lea confided in Ark, just as Ark confided in her. Lea began to understand her son, and see what Arthur had done to the family. Ark continued to try to pull his mother to the light, but she just held on harder to the dark.
Ark turned his mind to technology. Religion had given him a thirst to learn. He began to invent. He toyed with wiring, machinery, steam, gears, cogs, and more. He soon became known for his inventions. By the age of 27 he had invented the first ever steam engine; richer than ever, he continued his life in relative luxury. Several months after his greatest invention, his mother passed. It was inevitable, not even healing magic could save her. Ark attributed it to her lack of faith in the God, and moved on.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation): He wants to bring together the arts of science and religion by showing everyone that they can compliment one another.
Strengths (Both physical and personality): Ark has little physical strength, though this physical strength is replaced with a strength of mind and heart. He is very kind to most and is always willing to help.
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.): Ark quickly cracks under any amount of pressure due to his rough childhood.
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 prior linkings, all connections were done IC.

Walking down the streets of the Capitol, you encounter a pair of heavily armed and armoured men harassing a young girl. Thinking to himself, Ark quickly realizes he can do little to help the girl. He shouts at the two men and begins to run. The two armed men begin to pursue at a lessened speed, due to their armor. Ark begins to slow his pace so that the men do not lose sight of him. Walking calmly into the guard house, Ark report the men who enter behind me, yelling.
A man approaches you with a proposition - Go to Bloodstone and retrieve something for him, and you will be well rewarded. Ark simply refuses. He has other work to do, and has no interest in working for strange men. Nothing good could have come from the deal.
You pass an old man lying on the side of the street, begging for food. Ark sits down next to the man and passes him a large chunk of hard tack. After letting him eat and drink, Ark begins to inquire about the mans life and the circumstances and events that led to his homelessness.
In a tavern, a slightly inebriated fellow insults your mother. Ark agrees with the insult, thinking: My mother WAS a monster, and continues to eat his food.
You take a liking to a beautiful necklace a passing woman wears. Ark approaches the women and politley ask her where she got it. After waiting for her reply, he inquires if he may purchase it from her. Seeing as the women looks pregnant, Ark pays a bit extra, hoping that her family goes well.

Yes. I know. My question was just to confirm that there was no other way to accomplish this without having a command block for every possible location.
