The Whitelist Application Form:

About You!

1. What is your Minecraft username?

bodejodel

2. How old are you?
38, but let's not tell anyone OK?

3. What country are you from?
The Netherlands

4. Have you read the King's Law, Code of Conducts, Official Lore, and the Player Guides yet?
Yes, in all possible shapes and forms from the past 7 years.

5. In your own words, how would you define metagaming and powergaming?
Metagaming is using OOC information your character would not be able to acquire to their IC advantage. Like {thoughts} skills or events happening on the other side of a wall or the world, etc...
Powergaming is RP-ing in a way that removes certain or any options for countering a move, like often seen in RP'd fights. (not on HW of course)

6. Do we allow X-Raying mods or X-Ray texture packs on the server?
Nope.

7. Name one of our current Mentors.
Cymic_

8. Tell us about yourself!
(I'm Jeroen, 38 and happily married for almost 16 years now. I'm a father of 3 girls and one son (ages from 8-14). In my spare time I obviously like to spend time with my family. I like to go or camping (sun, rain or snow, I'm in) and I often take one or all of the kids with me. Now that I quit my 60+ hours a week office job a while ago I spend a lot more time on the road and outside. Because I'm not behind a desk all day anymore I've picked up an old hobby; PC-gaming. I played some World of Warships and some old RTS games and lately I've sunk a bunch of hours into Kenshi. Great fun but they lack the sense of community I remember from here. Hence I'm here, re-applying for the whitelist.

9. Do you have any examples of your work?
First and foremost I'm a builder and designer. I joined the server back in 2012 I happened to join a player who loved building as much as I did. I started building and never stopped. I've never built alone. These builds wouldn't have been possible without the help of a couple of very skilled and patient builders. (I can't count the times I've said "That's nice, now do it again and make it pretty"... :rolleyes:) Below are two of the most recent cities we have done. There are also a bunch of server builds and older builds but I don't have acces to the PC where my screenshots are stored. The last Port Silver was also made by us and I think I/we did the current new player spawn? Looked very familiar when I spawned there today, but I am not sure.)

10. Did anyone refer you? If not, how did you find our server?
This time it was Jstar . He poked me on Discord.


About Your Character!

Character Name
:
Name: Seigh Caelder Talon (Hawklight)

Pronunciation and meaning of the name:
Shay Kailder
These names roughly translate to “Like a hawk over harsh and cold waters” or more literally to a northern variety of sea hawks, a reference to the Hawklight legacy and the rough northern island life.
Talon is the surname for acknowledged, but not legitimized Bastards born from Hawklight’s nobles.
[OOC: These names are derived from the Gaelic names Séighín Shay-een (Hawk) and Calder (Harsh and cold waters)]

Full Titles:
Bastard/Talon /Talon of Hawklight.

Nickname/Alias:
When he was younger, people ’d yell “Bastard boy” at him and it stuck for a while, but only the older, true highborn boys were brave enough to do it in the open, being the acknowledged Bastard son of Lord Axex Hawklight. Most people he knows well usually call him by his first name “Seigh”. Others, even friends of his own age might refer to him as “Talon” or “The Talon”, politely referencing to his highborn (and firstborn) but bastard status. He used to hate that nickname, but has come to accept and even appreciate it.

Character Age:
He is in his 20's

Character Race:
Human

Appearance:
Build: He has a fairly bulky build by nature. He’s slightly muscular, from his mandatory, but irregular training and exercising. Some would call it healthy and not even muscular.
Hair: Brown with a slight reddish hue. About one finger in length on his head. His hair is long and usually worn in a messy pony tail after his father. His beard is kept rather short, but apart from the regular baths, that’s about the only maintenance his hair ever sees.
Eyes: Brown. Two of them.
Skin: He has the pale base tone of most northerners, but with a healthy weathered hue and some sunburnt areas in the summer, since he spends most of his time outside.
Identifying Marks: Nothing out of the ordinary at the moment.
Appearance: Being Axex’s Bastard son, he obviously shares some of his facial features; The most striking example being his eyes, which are an exact carbon copy of his father's, the only difference being he still has both of them.
Some features however are clearly not from his father. His hair has a reddish hue which is uncommon but not completely unseen in the north. When he aged, his freckles and ever so slightly stronger, pronounced jaw and brows, together with his bulky build became more apparent and were reason for rumors about a Norvägen mother to run rampant by that time.
Clothing: Underneath the warm cloak he usually wears, he is usually seen in simple, anonymous garments, fit for daily use as a foreman. However, being an acknowledged highborn bastard son, they are obviously tailored by talented hands. He appreciates warm feet and therefor kicks some sturdy leather boots lined with rabbit fur.

Written Test!

"Seigh! You really need to start paying attention to your opponent!" "I am trying to teach you how to defend yourself, but your thoughts are always somewhere else." Lord Aram looks down to Seigh, his 10 year old ward who is, once again, sitting in the dirt, rubbing his shin and elbow after he has been tackled after a swift combination of blows from the wooden sword of the rather small, but agile boy in front of him.
From where Seigh is sitting, Lord Aram looks like the formidable opponent he must have been to all the men he bested in battle. He must have been over 7 feet, particularly tall for a man from the south. "You can't spend your life with your ass in the dirt, that's not how highborn boys, even bastards, are meant to be seen." speaks the lord in a calm but stern tone while walking right up to him. "I am not going to fight anyway" -Seigh replied- "I will become an architect, the BEST architect. Even better then Lord Neorey Aeyeras August! I will be building castles, palaces and cathedrals some day. Far better than your castle." Laughing could be heard from the other boys in the training area in the courtyard of Lord Aram's Castle. Each and everyone of them had already beaten Seigh numerous times before -both during training, or when they came after him during off time- while he only won a couple of times from the smaller kids. Most of them were true highborn princes of the Amal Sultanate. They were born to be warriors. He was the only bastard here. Bastards weren't very likely to survive once they were exposed. Their legitimate brothers would usually make sure of that. Seigh was lucky he wasn't from here. Bastards were treated a whole lot better in the north of the continent where Seigh was born. The acknowledged bastards, or Talon as they were called, usually were able to live quite a comfortable life and they would get a good position at the court.
"You can draw and build all you want when you are a men, but someday, your adversaries will come after you. I can't tell you who they will be," -The lord replied, while pointing his staff at the other boys.- "but they sure won't come after you with wooden swords like they are. They will poke you with cold hard steel and you'll end up with holes instead of bruises." Seigh got up on his knees. "My father will protect me, he is the king of the north!"
The lord crossed his arms in front of him and his expression shifted to actually show a hint of concern. "One day that mighty father of yours will be an old and grey man. YOU will have to look after him. He will be in his bed and YOU will be the only one standing between his foes and him. YOU will have to be the one to poke holes in them or your beloved father will see his son die right before he leaves this world himself. is that what you want?" Seigh just sat there in the dirt and slowly shook his head.

After this lecture he still lost most of the training fights with the princes, but the princes ended up with far more bruises than before...
