1. What is your Minecraft username?
Couchie_Potato

2. How old are you?
19

3. What country are you from?
The United States of America

4. Have you read the King's Law, Code of Conducts, Official Lore, and the Player Guides yet?
Yes, I have.

5. In your own words, how would you define metagaming and power gaming?
Metagaming is the using game knowledge from outside of roleplay, in-game as an advantage. That information would basically include any gather information while being out of character.

Powergaming is forcing actions into other players or playing the game with the sole purpose of increasing influence and power on this character despite roleplay limits. In other words, roleplaying in such a way that won't allow another character a way to respond to the situation. ( For example, a human shoots an arrow at another human. Arrow pierces the human and does 3x damage while also poisoning the opponent and this causing them to explode. <--- This is a small example of power gaming )

6. Do we allow X-Raying mods or X-Ray texture packs on the server?
No, they are not allowed.

7. Name one of our current Mentors.

8. Tell us about yourself!
Hello! My name is Couchie_Potato and I have been actively roleplaying medieval-fantasy servers as well as medieval-fantasy-RPG servers as a favorite pastime.

9. Do you have any examples of your work?
No, I don't have any proof of roleplaying.

10. Did anyone refer you? If not, how did you find our server?
No-one has referred me to the server. I found the server while browsing Planet Minecraft.

About Your Character!
This section is about the character you intend to use once you join the server. We ask that new players follow these guidelines during this portion of the application:
  • Characters begin with basic skills and gear. No advanced armor or weaponry. Skills and abilities are appropriate to a novice level. Skills should be learned through roleplay, not through backstory.
  • Characters fit the lore. If you choose to play as a Moor Elf, for example, we expect appearance and details to be fitting with base lore.
  • Characters cannot use magic in any way. The test itself should not mention magic either. HollowWorld uses a restricted magic system and it is only accessible to those who find and learn from a teacher in-game.
  • Tests should not be violent. No murder, killing, death, torture. In the past, 8 out of 10 applications featured characters fighting off bandits or slaying passersby. We don't want to see how well you can script a fight scene. We want to see how well you can tell a story, how well you can roleplay.
  • Be creative and be original. Do not use tests/characters whose home villages were burned, parents murdered, and then set off to be an orphan assassin. It has been done before. Please don't do it again.
  • The written portion of the test is required to be a 400-word minimum. If the test doesn't meet the minimum, Staff may ask you to extend the test before the application is considered.
You can remove the guidelines above when you copy and paste the application. The instructions above are for you to read and can be removed when applying.

Written Test!

Yuto, the youngest among his siblings in a family of five who dwells at a small village in Altera. His mother works in the local town bakery tirelessly day and night to support the family. His father has yet to be seen from the day he learned to walk. The oldest amidst the sibling trio works as an apprentice blacksmith while the middle child spends his day fishing and lounging around. Yuto works at the bakery with their mother from time to time on the busiest of days carrying out daily deliveries to the inhabitants of the village. On the third day of the week, a mysterious mist has entirely enveloped the small village. The day was no longer day as the sun’s rays of light fail to pierce the inky fog. Night after night, the winds continue to howl and on the fifth day came the rain. The rain continues to platter the wooden shutters in the room in which he shares with his siblings. His mother left for the bakery as work should carry on despite rain or fire. The oldest of the trio left to repair small damages in the forge. The day pasts and strangely his mother and brother have yet to return. The middle child grows impatient and set out into the murky fog to find the missing family members. Hours go by, yet no answer. Yuto awaits for the return of his brothers, and his mother. This night was still, no hammering winds or dashing thunder. Even the rain seems to stop. Morning comes, and the sun’s light peeks through the wooden shutters of the window. Yuto awakes lazily, rubbing his eyes somewhat before coming to a realization that this family must be home. Yuto swings his head around frantically to find his brothers but fails to find them in the room. He darts out into the dining area only to find it empty. Confused and dumbfounded, he bolts outside to search for them. The sky was cloudless and the rays of sunshine warmly greet him. The village was oddly empty. The smell of freshly baked bread was absent and the cheery bustling of the town was non-existent. Only a hollow whistle rings through the village as the soft winds blow past. Something suddenly rustles in the shrubs nearby, Yuto cautiously backs up. The rustling suddenly stops and out came a small bunny. It curiously gapes at Yuto and bounds merrily away. Yuto, relieved and laughs at himself for becoming worked up from a bunny. He searches the village finding only some food otherwise failing to find any evidence of where his fellow people may have gone. As food begins to run low on the third day alone in the village, Yuto decides that it was best to set out to the nearest day village, a 2 day walk from his home. He packs his belongings in a small knapsack and sets out into the world, with the feelings of uncertainty.

Current Setting of the Server:

The lands of Altera have long been laced with upheaval, supernatural turmoil that would threaten to shatter the realm or tear it asunder. Long, have the peoples of Altera withstood these tribulations, overcoming and persevering through the generations. Only too recently, the realm tangled with the Behemoth Qlippoth, awakened by monsoon rains and with which came the Ashen Blight plague and eldritch abominations. Though the days were dark and long, the realm did survive, through its tenacity and reverence. The memories of the trials behind them still fresh, the realm sits in a state of unease and angst . . . with eyes on the horizon.

In the skies above, the heavens fall and burn across the auburn colors of the setting sun, streaks of color in the gathering dark. The Realm of Altera awaits . . .

Hey Yuto!
Your application looks pretty good, though I need you to remove all signs of magic out of your written test.
The written test takes place in the Alteran universe, so unfortunately the mist in the story cannot exist. Also please put some enters/paragraphs in your test so it's easier and more fun to read :)
Re-do that and I'll take another look at your application :)

On the third day of the week, a light mist has entirely enveloped the small village. The day was no longer day as the sun’s rays of light barely pierce the fog. One night came to the winds and on the fifth day came the rain. The rain continues to platter the wooden shutters in the room in which he shares with his siblings. His mother left for the bakery as work should carry on despite rain or fire. The oldest of the trio left to repair small damages in the forge. Later that night, neither returns. A distant glow could be seen from the cracks of the thatched hut's wooden shutters. Yuto blinks tiredly at the distant warm glow and rubs his eyes. Then Yuto's mind snaps to reality, "a light this bright at night...!" he thought. A scent of roasting wooden chips filled his nose, and Yuto instinctly reacted to the smell and runs outside to see the distant glow coming from the village. Yuto scrambles down the road and arrives at the village to find the bakery on fire. Citizens of the town rush around with wooden buckets of water filled from the local pond, aiding the firefight. Yuto fails to find his missing family members. As the fire dies down, he stares emptily at the piles of burnt wood, dumbfounded on what to do. A hand suddenly grabs his shoulder, and Yuto whips his head around only to find his older brother grinning back at him. "Its a nice day, ain't it not?" said his older brother. Yuto's mother walks up the duo and asks Yuto if he had breakfast yet. Yuto swirls his head around back and forth between his two family members, questioning himself "hath their mind been toasted from thy fire?". His mother turns around and stares back at the pile of burnt wood, and murmurs to herself. Then she looks back at the duo and gives a wearily smile. "well, let's grab some breakfast, shall we?" she said, and the oldest happily shouts "About time! I'm starving!". The day moves on like any other day with Yuto's oldest brother working to keep the family afloat. Money begins to run low, as only a single member of the household works. Every day, Yuto's big brother wakes up bright and early to go to the forge only to come home after dark to retire to his room. Every morning, Yuto regrettably eats his breakfast, earned by his brother who works so tirelessly. At the end of the first week prior to the fire, he made up his mind. He would travel to the big cities and earn money to send home to support his family. The distant skies glow as dawn approaches. Yuto packs food into a knapsack and writes a letter describing his recent and sudden decision to leave home. He tucks the letter under his pillow and he sets out afoot into the world.

Your written test is very incoherent and still lacks the paragraphing / spacing I had asked you to add.
Also, I am confused why you say "At the end of the first week prior to the fire", prior to the fire means it happened before the bakery burnt down. This is odd.
I'll give you another chance to make something more of an understandable story of it, give it your best shot! :)
