I've Roleplayed here a few years ago. Four to be exact. Im a US Marine so short periods of being away is likely from time to time, but I do my best. I played Baseball, Football, lacrosse and wrestled in high school.
Off the side I play League of Legends, CS:GO, and Rainbow Six: Siege.

Not really. Most Lore or items I've written are specific to another server.

(This question is also optional. If you were referred by someone, that person has a chance to get a referral reward.)

Appearance:
(We just want to make sure things like hair color, eye color, skin color, and clothing is all fitting for the setting/lore we have.)

Show us how much you've learned by reading our guides and lore. Include anything you think will impress us!)
The crunch of Maars' feet pushing itself through the snow can be heard from the crow perched in the tree causing it to let out a small screech. Maars who walks underneath the branches looks around. His exhales drawing a small cloud outside of his mouth. The cold nips at Maars visible skin causing it to grow a pale color. A small chuckle escapes the man's lips as he perches a snowy hill top. Looking down to what seemed to be a small castle. Well what remained of one that lost it's battle against time and the hardships the wintery north has to offer. With renewed energy that was slowly being drained by the tedious trudging through the snow and cold. He shuffles down the hill, racing snowballs that grow larger as they travel along-side the young man. Finally reaching the bottom the now enlightened man high knees his way through the snow into the previous courtyard of the castle looking around. The sun glinting through the pines of the trees and cracks in the what used to be sturdy walls of the keep. Placing his hand on a wooden post with a pile of snow at its top. Pulling the post down with him as he walks towards the entrance of the castle.
Walking inside the castle, finally being shield from harsh whipping cold winds, a small sigh of relief escapes Maars. He looked down the long corridor to the throne that sat underneath a large mostly intact stained glass window which colored the room as the rays of sunshine penetrate through. His boots now echo on stone as he walks through the remnants of the castle. The Banners showed the sigil of Silas, The god of knowledge. A dull blue ripped banner laid on the floor to the side, underneath where it was once hung up. Slowly making his way through the throne room he takes each step slowly as if it was a victory within it's self. Looking at the throne with an obvious honoring to Silas on it, he looks over to the right which was a smaller throne. However the smaller throne had multiple slashes in the stone right below where it was crumbled at the top. Reaching out his gloved hand to move some rubble, Maars finds a small pendant with A red background and silver sword on it. Etched on the back in a crude manner was 'Crusade'. He pockets it and continues to move on. The next week he spends investigating the keep. Looking for old remnants and reminders of a past time he only heard about in stories.

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.
- 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.
