IC Name: Desaralian
Characters age: 23 ( assuming charecters can only do work if they are above 18 and such )
Characters appearance: Large Dwarf that has the appearance of a human but is a hybrid Dwarf/Human
Goals and ambitions for your character: To be the first in his tribe to set up a trade outpost with other
villages becoming a trading legend in the New found world. The following section involves "Open-answers" as to how your character would react in the following situations:
1. A fellow tribe member has been pushed to the ground by a larger tribe member, the two are having an argument over who has rights to the freshly caught deer.
Desaralian would steal the deer and say to them whoever pays more gets to buy the dear and eat it whole. rather than them killing themselves over a deer.
2. Your character is in the jungle in the depth of night, suddenly a loud growling sound can be heard as two wolves emerge from the trees. What do you do?
Desaralian Has had this kind of trouble before and has learned that the best thing to do is to try and tame the wolves and then calm them down.
3. A spirit comes to you in your dreams, promising great treasure and power if you kill your tribal leader. What do you tell it?
Desaralian Tells the spirit that no amount of great tresure and power he can recieve will be better than getting his own.

IC Name: Chapa Carlak
Characters age: 34
Characters appearance: Brown Skin, Various Colour Bands, Wears Black Face Mask and Yellow Eye Mask. 6 Foot excactly, Grey Eyes.
]Goals and ambitions for your character: To reach and understanding with the spirits.
The following section involves "Open-answers" as to how your character would react in the following situations:
1. A fellow tribe member has been pushed to the ground by a larger tribe member, the two are having an argument over who has rights to the freshly caught deer. Chapa opens one eye from his meditation and sees the argument progress for the worst. He stands and and walks over to the Pair. Chapa pulls out his knife and walks over to the deer, not saying a word. The pair watch in awe as he skins, de-guts and takes the deer apart. He stands and thanks the gods for the deer. With Deer blood all over him, he begins to give out the deer to the rest of the Tribe. The larger tribe man gets angry and begins to shout at him. 'You have stolen the Deer that was rightly mine and will pay for it'.He then runs into the Jungle. Chapa lets the threat wash over him. The smaller man murmurs something and skulks away. Chapa sits back down and attempts to reach his ancestors again
2. Your character is in the jungle in the depth of night, suddenly a loud growling sound can be heard as two wolves emerge from the trees. What do you do? Chapa slowly pulls out his knife. He can hear the anger in the growls of the wolves. Something is in the Jungle that should not be. The wolves suddenly whimper and run into the trees. Chapa turns around and then he knows why the Wolves ran.
3. A spirit comes to you in your dreams, promising great treasure and power if you kill your tribal leader. What do you tell it? As Chapa is the local Shaman, he regularly gets his dreams visited by Spirits. There is something not right with this spirit. A spirit cannot Promise anything, it instead predicts things with a 50/50 chance. He says so to the spirit and it's appearance changes. Its colour went from a cool blue blur to a sharp evil red. The spirit says if he does not do what it asks, it will cause him great pain and suffering. Chapa wakes up, covered in sweat. He rolls over and falls back into the normal dreams of a Shaman. He does not remember this dream the next morning.
Accepted. Server will be up sometime next week for release!

Declined. There are no dwarves in Iriliath, silly. Also, when we say tribal, we mean like a continent with only primitive natives ( Tribes down in South America, for instance) , so trading outposts wouldn't really fit in that much. Those were the only problems, so if you change your race to a human character and your goals a bit, then I will gladly revise your edited app again.
If you do not see your name, contact me. If you we're told to redo your app, please do and send it to me instead of posting it on here and I will let you know if you are whitelisted.

Age: 17
Why do you want to be involved in this server?: I want to be involved in this server for a few reasons. The first is because I love Minecraft, jungles, roleplay and mystic tribes. I think it ties together well. The second reason why I would like to be involved in the server is the fact that I am writing a novel right now based on a mythical jungle, and I feel joining this server would help my writing skills and creativity grow. My character is based on the main character I have in my story, so maybe I will even get some ideas for some chapters while playing ^^.
IC Name: Oengus Brand
Characters age: 17
Characters appearance: Oengus brand is a somewhat skinny medium height teenager. He has wild, dark brown eyes that constantly dart around, analyzing the environment around him. His hair is a jet black shade that is usually cut so it is about one inch long. His typical attire is a pair of rugged leather pants and shirt, and a watch gifted to him by his family.
]Goals and ambitions for your character: Oengus wants to gain fortune, riches and honor so he can extinguish the poverty that curses the Brand family. If he ever reaches that point, he wants to start a new town in the jungle where there are no people affected by poverty.
The following section involves "Open-answers" as to how your character would react in the following situations:
1. A fellow tribe member has been pushed to the ground by a larger tribe member, the two are having an argument over who has rights to the freshly caught deer.
Oengus would just let nature take it's course, but then filch most of the meat from whoever got the deer and then keep most, but give some of it to the person who lost the deer.
2. Your character is in the jungle in the depth of night, suddenly a loud growling sound can be heard as two wolves emerge from the trees. What do you do?
Oengus would flee as fast as he could to the nearest tree, and ascend as quick as possible. When above, he would wait until the wolves left, or began to sleep, and he would slip away. If it was obvious that he could not reach any tree in time, he would throw all of the food he has on his person at the wolves in hope that they would stop and eat it. This shouldn't have to happen, however, as Oengus is too careful to become ambushed.
3. A spirit comes to you in your dreams, promising great treasure and power if you kill your tribal leader. What do you tell it?
Oengus would tell the spirit that he is not interested in the spirit's offer, as he knows that spirit's are wily and unpredictable, and that he would be shunned by all if he assassinated the leader.
Additionally, I would be interested in being a lore-writer and a builder. As previously mentioned, I love writing and I could make buildings that link up with the lore.

IC Name: Pima
Characters age: 26
Characters appearance: Of Caucasian descent. Red hair. Got leather armbands made from wolf skin. Pearl necklade made out of pearls and also squid eyes. Skirt made out of leaves. (Link to skin here: http://www.planetmin...-the-fisherman/)
]Goals and ambitions for your character: To become a warrior for the good spirits. And fight for them and defeat the evil spirits that roam the land at night.
The following section involves "Open-answers" as to how your character would react in the following situations:
1. A fellow tribe member has been pushed to the ground by a larger tribe member, the two are having an argument over who has rights to the freshly caught deer. I would let the spirits decide who was to have the meat. In this case, the bigger member because the gods clearly favor him because of his size and strength.
2. Your character is in the jungle in the depth of night, suddenly a loud growling sound can be heard as two wolves emerge from the trees. What do you do? I would pray to the gods and prepare to fight. This particular night I had a torch and a stone sword. I use the torch to burn them and slash the sword at them. After the fight I pray to the spirits and say that I'm sorry for killing their creations that they put onto this world.
3. A spirit comes to you in your dreams, promising great treasure and power if you kill your tribal leader. What do you tell it? I would immediately tell it to get away from me, for I am not a warrior for the evil spirits. I would then communicate with the good spirits of the world and make sure I did the right thing.
I also got a couple of questions for you guys:
Are we using a certain texture pack?
Where are most of the admin/userbase located?
I would also be interested in either lorewriting, building or beta-testing
Firstly Accepted. Now, I also like the skin. And for your questions:
About half of the staff are located in Australia (AEST time zone) and the other half are American.
And we are currently in need of builders - We have enough lore writers for the moment, but once we go into beta ill send you the IP.
And we're working on a texture pack for the beta release.
IGN:soul_reaperz Age:17 Why do you want to be involved in this server?:I love the idea of a Tribal Roleplay. The lore is really good too!
IC Information:
IC Name:Zezai Morroki Characters age:20 Characters appearance:Dark Skin. Bald. Brown Eyes. Tatoo'd Face. Usually wears a Khaki Vest/Robe type cloth, This is strapped across both shoulders holding a spear against his back which he uses to hunt with. Khaki Sandals. Goals and ambitions for your character:Zezai wishes to become a Tribal Leader and create a Tribe where everyone can be treated equally. Without there being Better Ranks in the Tribe, He wishes for the Village to be built in the trees and not on the ground to protect his villagers, this would also bring better fortune in collecting apples to feed his tribe. Zezai also wishes to start a family so that when he dies someone can look after the Tribe and bring them even greater wealth and glory.
The following section involves "Open-answers" as to how your character would react in the following situations:
1. A fellow tribe member has been pushed to the ground by a larger tribe member, the two are having an argument over who has rights to the freshly caught deer.
I would take the Deer. Tell them "If you want this back you must stop fighting. The Tribal Leader should decide who should have it." If they don't listen, Show them the upper side of my spear.
2. Your character is in the jungle in the depth of night, suddenly a loud growling sound can be heard as two wolves emerge from the trees. What do you do?
Run to a safer fighting ground. Take out my spear and attack one of the wolves, to distract the other one I would throw some meat into the bushes and hope for the best.
3. A spirit comes to you in your dreams, promising great treasure and power if you kill your tribal leader. What do you tell it?
"I will never betray my Tribal Leader. Not for treasure or power, And if you believe I will then you've got the wrong person." If the spirit attempts to persuade me further I would respond with "You are a putrid disgrace to nature. Anyone would know, Spirit or Man, that the Tribal Leader is the only person between us and certain death."
(Also, is there a server texturepack? Or should I just use Default?)
- Soul
Accepted. A lovely app, it was very well written. There will be an open spot in the beta playing if you were interested (Texture pack is still being made).
Additionally, I would be interested in being a lore-writer and a builder. As previously mentioned, I love writing and I could make buildings that link up with the lore.
We have enough lore-writers currently, but we would love your aid in building. If you could upload some images of your past creations onto the thread we can go from there.

]Goals and ambitions for your character: To live life and discover more things it holds.
The following section involves "Open-answers" as to how your character would react in the following situations:
1. A fellow tribe member has been pushed to the ground by a larger tribe member, the two are having an argument over who has rights to the freshly caught deer. Tyldpen runs to the two members and tells both of them that the deer is for the whole tribe and taking it for themselves is terrible.
2. Your character is in the jungle in the depth of night, suddenly a loud growling sound can be heard as two wolves emerge from the trees. What do you do? I slowly take out my small dagger and take a few steps backwards unil the Wolf charges for me. If that happens then its a fight to the death.
3. A spirit comes to you in your dreams, promising great treasure and power if you kill your tribal leader. What do you tell it? "Spirit, I will never do these horrible things to an innocent soul just for luxory and gold! BE GONE!

Characters appearance: Blonde hair, wearing a tuxedo because he loves being fancy, even in the jungle.
]Goals and ambitions for your character: He wants to create a large group of soldiers that are under his command, and together they can kill all who don't listen to his commands.
The following section involves "Open-answers" as to how your character would react in the following situations:
1. A fellow tribe member has been pushed to the ground by a larger tribe member, the two are having an argument over who has rights to the freshly caught deer. If I were alone, I would take the deer and walk away. I want to own the jungle, these two have no right to hunt in my territory. If I were with my friends, I would break them up, demand all of their ores, then kill them just for the fun of it. Only then would I take the deer.
2. Your character is in the jungle in the depth of night, suddenly a loud growling sound can be heard as two wolves emerge from the trees. What do you do? Kill them, plain and simple. They're only wolves, and with my diamond sword they would go down easy.
3. A spirit comes to you in your dreams, promising great treasure and power if you kill your tribal leader. What do you tell it? I tell it to give me the damn treasure already, because I am all powerful, and I have no leader already.

Accepted on one condition; You have to change your appearance. Unless you are from a far off distant land, you aren't allowed to wear anything out of the ordinary in a jungle. That means things like shorts and a t-shirt are fine, but not things like your Tux or a t-shirt with flame decal and jeans. Other than that, I love the idea of having some evil folk in the jungle to spice things up. And not to give anything away or anything, but your characters attitude and thoughts will go nicely in the server's future.
