AC1D4T3D Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) About YouWhat is your Minecraft account name? AC1DAT3D What is your age? (Be truthful, we do not discriminate based on age) 18-45 What timezone do you use? PST (GMT -8) What previous experience have you had as a roleplayer? D&D, lots of MMORPGs and I'm an actor, so Role Playing is kinda my thang! (yes, I said thang!) When you think of roleplaying, what comes to mind? Final Fantasy (duh), Dice, L.A.R.P., FUN, DAOC, WOW, more FUN!!! How did you hear about Gaia Life RPPVP? Rufus a.k.a. Phrack50 Have you read the basic Gaia Life lore, and hereby swear to abide by it? Yes. I love the story and incorporated it into my bio. I applied via Team Speak before, but just never filled out a proper form. Have you the rules governing this server, and understand them? If you mean have I READ the rules, yes and 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. Basically, DON'T BE A DOUCHE, but no killing of any kind (unless agreed upon), no cheating, no griefing, use the proper chat channels for chatting, steal animals; don't kill them, being called a name is no reason to declare war, no Justin Bieber talk EVER!, if l mess up l should let a moderator know, no kicking little kids in the shins, basically, don't be a douche. Also, it is important to imerse oneself in the character one chooses to play. Therefor, one should make choices that one's character would make. Because of this, I like to model the character as close to me as possible with any differences due to the upbringing of the character (ie, my mother isn't dead afk, but if my character's is, I would make decisions as I normaly would, with the exception that my character, maybe, has a fear of being alone due to this fact and always has a companion/partner/guide with them.)In-Character InformationPlease make sure your character name is something you can live with in-game. Note: please do not make up a race without obtaining permission from the lore team! Additionally, weavers are staff-only. Character Biography and Description: FULL NAME: Dr. Daxton Cidney Fair AGE: 24 RACE: A Human-Weaver {The term "Weaver" is strickly for lore purposes and not for cheating or /op-ing or anything of the sort} BORN: On the North East Island of Shalomar; in the province of Blu Dream. PARENTS: Both deceased. Killed in a recog attack, their GMS implants malfunctioned and they returned mutated and escaped. To Daxton, they are dead. MARITAL STATUS: Widow. CHILDREN: 1 daughter, deceased ABILITIES: Emerging with part of the Weave since birth allows Daxton to know where others are. [ALLOWS FOR THE USE OF THE OVERWORLD MAP ONE TIME EVERY MINECRAFT DAY/NIGHT CYCLE] BACK STORY: Born in the year 2123 AF to Danielle and Jexton Fair, Daxton became interested in the Essence and the Weave at an early age. He began experiments with energy in school that ended up almost blowing up the cafeteria on one occasion and completely ruining the lighting system for the entire school for a week on another. Detention both times. These events, and a few others, caught the eye of his teacher, Sha'rin, and she began giving one on one instruction to Daxton at home. Dax's gift of 'Energetic Intuition' (EI) became more than just a fascination with science when he began disappearing randomly. He would have no memory of being gone, but days, weeks, sometimes months would pass before he would reappear. [THE DISAPPEARING EXPLAINS THE LOGGING ON AND OFF OF THE SERVER]What Sha'rin found out was the Weave has been trying to heal itself ever since the fracture and created a solution..."The Anomaly" a.k.a. Daxton Fair. This entity would have the ability to repair the damage to Gaia if he simply lived to be 33 years of age. By this time in his life, he would have physically touched enough people (some of their "essence" rubbing off on him) that the concentrated energy he picked up from them would be released and this force, although ripping him to pieces, would seal up the tear forever. It is for this reason that Sha'rin had to keep Daxton alive until his 33rd birthday and felt he was not ready to hear his part in all of this yet (especially the sacrifice yourself part). Unfortunately, this played out to be a bad decision on her part as there is an entity hunting Daxton to harness all of his collected energy and release it into itself, not Gaia. To do this, however, Daxton would have to take his own life in the presence of this entity. This abomination is very, very ancient and is being controlled by the one who facilitated the original fracturing of the Earth, Sepheroth. Named XXIZZIXX (pronounced zizicks), he has been responsible for the death of every one of Daxton's loved ones; unknown to Dax, of course. This is so Daxton would feel so alone that he would want to die, in which case Xxizzixx would step in and offer to "help" him with this. By the time he was 20, Dax had skipped 5 grades and was only 2 years away from becoming a Doctor of Weave Healing Energy Science, won the quarter-century Chocobo Grand Race Event (a very prestiges title in his village), and had fallen for his childhood friend and love of his life, Reneka Bloomfeld. Renald and Jesseka Bloomfeld were a very influential couple and wanted only the best for their daughter. After courting her for 3 years, Dax and Ren were married and had a daughter of their own, Daneka Lizbett Bloomfeld (as is customary for the offspring's last name to be from the wealthier of the two parents and the first name to be a combination of the mother and father's first names. Further, if the offspring is male, part of the mother's name comprizes the first half, and part of the father's name rounds out the other half. Conversely, if the offspring is female, the father's part is first for her name, and the mother's half finishes. Confused yet?) Late one night while Daxton was at the castle's main banquet room planing a surprise party for the girls in his life, a stranger knocked on their door. Reneka, being alone with their daughter, was killed with a dagger through the right eye the moment the door was cracked open and Daneka...the dagger, left protruding in her tiny 4 year-old chest. Needless to say, the Bloomfelds, hatting Daxton for allowing this to happen, turned their backs on him and gossiped behind his back until the entire village did the same. Having nothing left to live for, Daxton returned to his home after the funeral ceremony to reunite with his girls forever only to find a mysterious scroll at the foot of his bed that Sharin had made appear in the event of her death. It explained about his ability, his destiny, and three magical items he should acquire before his 33rd birthday that will help him stay alive. One is a cloak that will help conceal him. Another is a book of spells and incantations, and finally, a teleportation wand- an item that will not only teleport him out of danger a short distance, but tell him the reason he disappears...and where he goes. Now fueled with a purpose, he immediately fled the only piece of the world he had ever known, just minutes shy of a stranger knocking on his door again waiting to offer assistance with any work for a small amount of gil. No more family. No more friends. To save the world he must live, but at 33 he's guaranteed to die. This is no life for a family. This is no life for friends. So now he wonders the world looking for three items. There was a lead that the cloak was guarded by a demon of fire near a town called Midgar...... [OF COURSE, DETAILS CAN BE CHANGED TO ACCOMADATE THE SERVER LORE AS NEEDED. THIS IS MERELY A TEMPLATE TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA ON THE TYPE OF WORLD I CAN CREATE]Is this your first attempt with our application? If not, please list other attempts. Yes Meta QuestionsIn 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? Recognizing my former employer Henricksson Thunderbladt, I intervene and offer to help the guards find their missing bronze machine parts without their needing to concern themselves with the trivial matter of retrieval, I shall take care of that for them. I even offer to do this free of charge. When they threaten to beat me and throw us both into the dungeon if I am lying, they leave and I find out from ol' Henny what he knows of these parts, reminding him that his wife would not appreciate receiving a letter informing her of his past indiscretions with his assistant Robina Codder.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? That's easy. I call in a bomb threat to the police and tell them that I have placed a bomb in an ordinance crate at the school...they have one hour before it blows. Good day. 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? What have I done to earn the disrespect of everyone I've ever known and loved? That's easy, I let slip one night that I like Justin Bieber's music...DAMN that Whiskey! _______________________________________________________ OK, for realz: I found my wife and daughter mercilessly killed by a stranger in the night while I was planning a party in their honor. I had stayed late to make sure everything was perfect...I shouldn't have done this...they're dead and it's all my fault. I will never forgive myself for their deaths. I wish I was 33 years old. 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? Easy, act crazy. I scratch my head violently while arguing with 'The Spirits' that "I can't pay the dolphin my rent money because I DRank it LaSt winTER for a free lolipOP [I begin flailing my arm slightly at this point] that ended up really being my m0th3r whom I caN'T sTAnd because she's alwAYS TELLING MY BROTHERS WHAT TO DO ABOUT THEIR CAT'S LOBOTOMY....", You know, crazy. Two plumbers walk into a bar and promptly start a fight. What do you do? Finish my drink and leave. None my business. Finally... Have you +1'd our modpack on the Technic Platform? You know it! This only takes a second and helps us immensly. Have you posted a copy of this app onto the Technic Forums? Nope. And I never will mwahahahahaAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA -oh shoot I just did.

Electronics Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 What is your Minecraft account name? Electronics What is your age? (Be truthful, we do not discriminate based on age) 17 What timezone do you use? GMT/UTC +00 What previous experience have you had as a roleplayer? I played previously played on Terra Novos and I also play Space Station 13 quite a bit. (Space station 13 is a 2D tile based roleplaying game set on a death trap of a space station). Previously, I also played on Nations at War, a vanilla PvP, nations based RP server. When you think of roleplaying, what comes to mind? For me, roleplaying is about detaching myself from everyday life and taking on a new persona where I can develop and shape my character based on the environment I find myself in and other characters I meet. How did you hear about Gaia Life RPPVP? I knew about Aegis Gaming after the incident that happened at the end of Terra Novos. I didn't follow the switchover at the time, but I've recently found time to get back into modded minecraft. Have you read the basic Gaia Life lore, and hereby swear to abide by it? Yes I have, there are many different races in the states of Gaia each with their different strengths and weaknesses. It seems to be immensely hard to oppose the culture of Helios due to their history of wiping out foes. Have you the rules governing this server, and understand them? Have I understood the rules governing the server and understood them? Yes. To verify that you read the links in this application form's intro, please give a brief summary of what they discuss. God Modding is making your character overpowered - as in making them having traits that seem unrealistic or having a tonne widely different skills. Metagaming is bringing in external knowledge that your character would not naturally know into the game world. In an application, certain things are expected to show a level of competency in using a computer and interacting with other people. Other obvious things include: Don't choose races that are designed for staff and other special users, don't add lore that does not fit in with the history or background of Gaia and its various states and cities. In-Character Information Character Name: Torquil Philipson Character Age: 47 Character Race: Human Character Biography and Description: Torquil started off life in the middle classes. From an early age, Torquil took apart all sorts of various electronic equipment and loved finding out how things were put together and how they worked. After his father passed away, Torquil took ownership of the family business for a few years. This kept him satisfied at the start but as the years passed he wanted to move on to bigger and better things. So he left home and ventured forth into the wide world. As of now, Torquil has been working on advanced power frameworks providing power to complex weaponised military systems. Is this your first attempt with our application? If not, please list other attempts. Yes (Unless you count when I used to be on Terra Novos) 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? I would not want to get involved but I would still like to see what happens so that would mean hanging around with my head down to avoid confrontation. 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? I would contact the authorities as soon as possible and describe what was happening. 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? I had designed part of a system which was used in a massively destructive weapon. Unfortunately, the blueprints of weapon system got into the wrong hands and was used to kill a lot of people in a terrorist event. A lot of people blame me for this even though I was not the one tasked with holding the blueprints. 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? It depends on the situation, if this happened in the middle of nowhere, I would hand over my most obvious things i.e. Wallet, watch etc. However I would try to keep backup money without the thug noticing. If this happened in a middle of a big-ish city, as long as the thug was not armed with a medium to long range weapon (i.e. a gun or similar) I would attempt to run away to the nearest soldier/armed station and get help. Two plumbers walk into a bar and promptly start a fight. What do you do? Stay out of the way and not get involved. If the fight escalated with either more people getting involved or more serious weapons other than fists I would leave the bar to make sure I didn't get involved.
Spades Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 Can someone tell me if this server is dead, I would really like to know!
