I used to be really unhappy with my username, as I created it when I was 11 years old, (don't laugh at this next part) believing Don_rosa was a girl, due to "Rosa" being the Norwegian word for "Pink", which my brain continued to concluding with that being a girl. Don is also not a Norwegian name.
So I played for a while, and I started liking the name after all. People got to know me as "Don" or "Rosa" and now I would never be able to change my username, I'm too used to this one. So before you automatically throw away a username and say it's bad, give it a shot!
I mean, eventually it all comes down to who you are, not what username you have.

Out of Character Information
IGN:
Don_rosa
Do you wish to join our community Skype chat? If so, what is your Skype username? (This is optional):
I'm in it.
Have you read and agreed to both the rules and the lore of the server?:
Yep.
What is the definition of “Powergaming”?:
Powergaming is forcing actions upon other players without giving them a chance to respond. For example: *Harry stabs Ron right in the heart, instantly killing him* instead of the correct way to do it; *Harry launches at Ron with a dagger in his heart, bloodlust in his eyes as he aims right for the heart*
What is the definition of “Metagaming”?:
Metagaming is using OOC information IC. For example, people have nametags and names in chat. Ron has never met Harry before, but xXCoDGamer123Xx has met SuperSaianSlayer123 many times and knows what their character is named. So Ron walks up to Harry saying "Hi Harry," leaving Harry quite confused and possibly creeped out.
What is the definition of “Roleplay”?:
Roleplay is creating a character, playing said character in the setting the server decides and basing all of your actions upon what your character would do instead of what you personally would do.
Who can use flymod, X-ray and other such clientsided mods?:
Nobody.
When are you allowed to cause the death of another character?:
When the puppet master of said character consents to the death of their masterpiece.
When are you allowed to speak out of character?:
In OOC chat, with double parantheces/brackets in chat ((like this)) or in PM.
Do you have any previous RP experience, Minecraft or elsewhere? (Optional):
TAC, TWO, Rise of Kings and some small ones I really never got engaged in. If I'm right I've been doing it for two years, time flies by.
Character Information
Name:
Sebastian Davenwood (Present day; Dave Wood)
Age:
36
Race:
Human
Physical description:
Dave is a rather small guy standing at 5'7" with quite muscular arms. He weighs around 160 Ibs and is naturally left handed, but was taught to use his right hand. This has slipped a little now though, and he uses a little of both. His eyes are a very dark brown color, creating the illusion of black. His hair matches the color of his eyes, if not a little bit lighter shade of brown. He's most frequently seen wearing a brown pair of pants with matching suspenders over a white shirt.

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):
36 years ago, Sebastian was born to Henrik and Helena Davenwood into a prestigious life in The Crownlands. From a very early age (frankly as soon as he could speak), he was taught everything a man of a noble heritage was expected to know, from proper manners to which abominations he was never to lay his eyes upon long enough to see the color of their skin. (ex. halfmen, drow, savages.) Thus he was brought up with very limited knowledge of the other races and the life outside of The Crownlands, as he was expected to live and die there. What he did learn however, was a lot about elves. He even learnt their languages, as they were highly regarded, sort of like a magical version of the human. If one ever were to wander through the city, he could impress and create important connections to the magical race. (Though of course not regarded as BETTER than the humans themselves.)
At the age of 10, Sebastian learnt about the deities. As a 10 year old who'd never stepped a foot beyond the baker at the other side of town, it was a hard concept to grasp. However, his parents were vivid followers of Saviesa, and of course Sebastian as well at their expectations. His upbringing and childhood consisted mostly of this, expectations. His path was laid out for him the second he lay his eyes upon this world. Of course, at this stage Sebastian was only 10 and though he didn't understand most of what he was taught, he didn't object even when his mother excitedly told him who he'd wed and spend the rest of his life with when they both came of age
.
It wasn't until Sebastian was 15 he showed his first flash of a mind of his own. It was the evening of a rather chilly day in the Crownslands when he carefully walked up to his mother and waited for her attention by the doorway. It took a little while, but eventually she raised her eyes to meet his. "Yes, Sebastian?" she demanded more than asked. Sebastian coughed a little before straightening up and looking Helena straight in the eyes as he said "Mother, I am at a lack of activities to tend to. May I go outside?" Helena's eyes widened in surprise, but only in the lesser part of a second before she gathered herself again. "You know perfectly well Sebastian, we only go outside when we are all gathered." Sebastian looked dissapointed. "Straighten up," his mother said before returning to her previous activity.
After this slightly rebellious act, Sebastian started to feel trapped. He didn't give much thought to it then, but the feeling only grew and grew until he could no longer ignore it. The glass was at it's fullest on the day he was to wed Bianca of the Gyldenhaal's, his 18th's birthday. Relently, he got dressed in the clothes his mother had chosen for him, and suddenly he found himself at the altar with a stranger walking down the aisle.
"Do you, Sebastian of the Davenwoods, take Bianca of the Gyldenhaal's to be your lawfully wedded spouse?" There was a long silence. Bianca stared at him expectantly. His mother stared at him expectantly. His father stared at him expectantly. He looked around. And then he realized. Everyone in that room was looking at him expectantly.
"No," he said. He didn't hear the reactions. He didn't see their faces. He didn't think. He just turned around and walked away.
18 years later, Sebastian has doubled his age, changed his name and turned his whole life upside down.
In the beginning it was hard. Though Sebastian was a highly regarded person in The Crownsland, he had little to no knowledge of the world outside of it, and he had visually no clue what he was doing or what he wanted to do. All he wanted to know was that he wanted to live simple, and free. He didn't want to be tied down anymore. Of course, he could probably have easily worked as a professor or learn to become an alchemist or any of these things, but he decided to abandon all of this. So naturally, he was ready to grab the first opportunity that came his way.
He wandered the lands until he was in the lands of Beschwall where as the ground was covered in crops, literally. Except from a few houses here and there the wheat was everywhere. It was quite a magnificent sight for someone who hadn't taken a step outside of his birth town until now. He asked the locals where he could get work, and eventually a sweet couple decided they'd teach him their trade for his free work. He introduced himself as Dave Wood, which would prove to be his name for a long time forward. This continued until both of them were too old to work, and he took over the business to run it by himself. Of course, they got a share, but now that they'd decided to move out, he had the house to himself. Sometimes it was lonely, but he loved tending to his crops. He loved having a place to himself. He loved how free he was.
When Sebastian had spent 36 summers in this world, he heard rumours that undead had started spreading on Enris, an island outside of Beschwall. They needed people, not only warriors and fighters, but people of other trades.. like farmers. He quickly decided to wrap up things on the farm and sold it for a cheap price to the neighbour before getting on the next boat there. The easy life had been good for a while, but it was time to actually do something good.
What is your character’s main goal? (Motivation):
Helping with whatever is going on in Enris, hopefully exploring life's lengths a little more than he's done up until now.
Strengths (Both physical and personality):
Dave is quite a smart guy, though he mostly hides this in favor of the life he's built up as a farmer. Physically he's got very strong arms from all the farming he's done, but the rest of his body is the one of the average man. Being able to use both of his hands equally instead of having one stronger has also proven to be quite useful.
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.):
Dave isn't very cold-headed. Being brought up in such a protected environment, he'll easily panic in situations of distress. This as well as not being a particularly good runner, can end up creating a huge disadvantage in the battle he's set off into. In addition to this, he's got quite a few irrational frights. For instance, he's terrified of heights and water. He can't possibly understand why people won't be terrified knowing that one wrong steps can send them into their death, or swimming.. for fun? They have no idea what's down there!
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):
Dave is quite a nice and friendly guy, but he does not forgive easily. He likes to surround himself with people he can trust, and a broken bond is hard to fix. Though he may be described as a bit of a whimp with all of these irrational fears, he'll often try to overcome them in order to seem more courageous, especially in front of people he wants to impress. As he was taught, pride is a very important thing to him. Some things are hard to let go of.

By the way, is this based on the series "Eragon"? It seems a lot like it.))

Where did you hear about the server:
I saw it on the front of the minecraftforum.
Do you understand and accept the rules:
Certainly, no reason to apply if I didn't.
What's our policy on raging:
There's never a good reason to rage, fall down seven times, get up eight. Just deal with it, nobody likes a rager. If you don't give up, you can't lose.

Also, about your question, no, the server is currently in development, a realease date has not yet been set.

You can go to the academy and get to a higher tier class after that, you can find these classes in the original post.
By the way, I didn't know we were accepting applications before the basic lore is done. The lore could eventually interfere with biographies.
