Gaia Life: Entry Application
Please remember that the acceptance of your application is dependent on its quality, and that the process is not a formality. Applicants should be aware that this application functions as a test of their imagination and roleplaying ability, and should be prepared to have lazily-constructed applications denied.
Further, we will not accept characters that insert themselves into world lore or contradict world lore (except with permission from the lore team), nor will we accept characters that lack meaningful or reasonable justification for being where they are in the world; try to give your character some character and avoid tacking things on just because they sound cool or give them an advantage or high position.
For a better understanding of proper etiquette, please read
this article and this article before continuing with your application. You can find a more detailled explanation of what's expected of you at this thread. Good luck!
About You
What is your Minecraft account name?
Drenslace
What is your age? (Be truthful, we do not discriminate based on age)
23
What timezone do you use?
EST (GMT -5)
What previous experience have you had as a roleplayer?
I have been RPing since middle school both on and offline. From various DnD type games to MC to RPG drivin video games. I choose characters based on my personality and shape them to fit me. Not the other way around.
When you think of roleplaying, what comes to mind?
When it comes to roleplaying, i believe that you should treat yourself as the character. You are the character and even the smallest of decisions should be taken seriously as they can affect you in various ways. If I am that character I wouldn't make decisions that seem out of character or out of place.
How did you hear about Gaia Life RPPVP?
The forum post in the Tekkit forums.
Have you read the basic Gaia Life lore, and hereby swear to abide by it?
There are different races and backgrounds for a reason. I will abide by them to the best of my ability.
Have you the rules governing this server, and understand them?
Yes I have read them all and I believe I understand them.
To verify that you read the links in this application form's intro, please give a brief summary of what they discuss.
Firstly, when introducing a character's lore it needs to be believable and on par with the other players in the game. I am creating a character that fits into the lore of the game and I let the game shape the character. Not the other way around. Secondly, Meta-gaming is seriously frowned upon. All characters knowledge should be based off of in game experience and intuition. It makes RPing more believable and fun (in my opinion). I do this in other games like Skyrim. I let the quests and the people guide me, not the fact that I know what quests and events are out there. The applications guide gives similar input as the links plus the info needed for a successful application.
In-Character Information
Please make sure your character name is something you can live with in-game.
Character Name:
Drenwulf
Character Age:
23
Character Race:
Cyborg
Character Biography and Description:
Dr. Nefarious Drenwulf... Or so I would like to be called.
Dren i sufficient enough for people I am familiar with.
I just recently finished college... Err... Expelled for personal augmentation. I was tired of my watch dangling from my arm so I grafted one into my skin. Apparently even small changes like this are frowned upon...
Technology is and always will be the future. There is still so much more to discover and I would like to dedicate my life to discovering all technology has to offer. Prolonging my life with augmentations may be necessary. Even simple things like an auto-feeder will save me precious time.
I do not claim to be the smartest man but my passion can drive me far beyond others. I prefer to associate with few people and I do not mind stealing what I need. Perhaps augmentations can help me with that too...
I do not strive to surpass the gods but I believe there is much to learn from them... Even if just but a small sample of their material structure...
Gaia is my home, my world, and most importantly... my laboratory...
Is this your first attempt with our application? If not, please list other attempts.
Yes
Meta Questions
In this section, your character will be placed into a set of hypothetical situations. Please consider your answers carefully.
You stumble upon a group of three soldiers harrassing a middle-aged man, apparently about some missing bronze machine parts from a local repair shop. The man is insistent upon his innocence, but the soldiers do not relent. What do you do?
Insist that it is none of my business but mention the fact that bronze machine parts can be rather awkward to steal as they are specifically designed for certain machines and parameters. Also, it would require the efforts of a skilled group of people, if the parts are large enough, to gather, transport and hide the parts.
I would then insist that a simpleton such as him couldn't possibly know what the parts are for let alone be part of a group that steals them.
If they leave the man I will claim that he is indebted to me and I expect him to return the favor. Whether he was guilty or not.
If they insist on continuing to harass him... I see no use for him and leave them be...
As you are walking down the street, you glance down an alleyway and notice some shady-looking characters moving crates. Upon closer inspection, you realise that the crates are marked "ordinance", and that it seems that they're being moved into a school. What do you do?
Approach the men and Inquisitively ask why such important documents are being moved into a school.
Should they react violently, simply the threat of causing too much racket and bringing unwanted attention could calm them.
Should they tell me to, "Get lost" I will further press them as my curiosity further deepens.
Should they ignore me, I will press even harder as my curiosity can't stand it.
If they flash a badge, I will apologize and casually leave.
You have been evicted from your home, and attract the sneers of those you pass on the street. Even your own family has shunned you, and your best of friends now refuse to acknowledge your existence; what have you done to earn this fate?
Most likely I have done some augmentation in the lab at my home to further benefit myself. Clearly the landlord didn't like my experiments in my home and evicted me.
People can't understand that not all augmentations are about looks but about quality and progress. If this drives away friends and family then that simply means less distractions.
However, if the augmentation is preventing my progress because of the lack of interactions of others, then I may decide to alter it or remove it all together.
You're approached by a street thug, clearly much stronger than you are. He demands everything valuable that you're carrying. What do you do?
Stealing a valuable piece of technology could prove hindering... However being killed or smashed up could as well... Hopefully I have something useful that could save me from this situation. Even if but a static discharge of electricity from something on me...
If not... Run...
Two plumbers walk into a bar and promptly start a fight. What do you do?
Simply ensure that I am not caught up in it... Their fighting is of no concern to me...
Finally...
Have you +1'd our modpack on the Technic Platform?
Net yet. I really want to try it out first.
