EggplantDrow - Whitelist Application

Post: # 16435Post EggplantDrow »

-Player Questions-
Minecraft Username: TheSandiestcomet


Discord Username: eggplant drow#7836

Age: 21


Pronouns (optional): They/Them


Where did you hear about us: Random Reddit Thread from 2 years ago.


Tell us a little about yourself: I’m a pretty veteran RPer, a dungeon master of around eight year’s experience, and a massive pokemon fan. I’m really excited to find out that this is a thriving community, because it seems really cool! I’m a UK-Based Uni student, currently studying Gameplay Design & Production.

-Roleplay Questions-
[ Please use your own words. ]


What is roleplaying?: Roleplaying is the act of playing a character, and acting how that character would, with a clear separation between your own feelings / knowledge and the character’s.


What is meta-gaming?: Metagaming is when you use information learned OOC, IC.


What is power-gaming / god-modding?: Powergaming is when you attempt to force
another character to do something without any chance of resistance, with an emote. For example, an emote that specifies that you ‘tie someone up tightly and push them against the wall’, would be god-emoting. An easy way to mitigate this is to simply add the word ‘attempts’ or ‘tries to’ somewhere in there.


What is retroactive continuity? (retcon): A retcon is when a writer or roleplayer decides that they would like to retroactively remove something that they did, said, or wrote. This is, in RP communities, often decided upon by admins / GMs, to avoid difficulties.


What is the difference between in-character (IC) and out-of-character (OOC)?: I explained this in part with my metagaming answer, but to elaborate. A character does not know what the player that controls them knows, and information that was not obtained In-Character should never be used as such.


Do you have previous experience playing on a RP server?: Several years, though none on minecraft. I’ve RP’d on Neverwinter Nights, World of Warcraft, FFXIV, Forums, BYOND, VR Chat, and much more.

-General Character Questions-
[There is a one full paragraph (at least 5 sentences) minimum for the appearance, biography, and personality. This is for each of these parts and not put together.
Your first character must come from a region that isn't Toro.]


Full name: Paxton Ray
Age: 25


Appearance: Paxton appears as a mid-twenties male, with brown hair and hazel-toned eyes. He is, in all regards, rather plain - appearing with a neat and tidy attitude, a well-groomed half-full beard adorning his face. He has a penchant for fine suits, and will often be found dressing sharp. He keeps anything required for battling tightly sealed in a black suitcase, which he is almost always found with.


Personality: Generally no-nonesense, Paxton clearly has something to prove. Having abandoned his 9-5 for a shot at league championship, he still bears the attitude of one with a strong work ethic, and it takes a lot to get him down. He has a softer side - seen only when congratulating his partners after a battle well-fought, won or lost.


Biography: Hailing from the Unova Region, and more specifically, Castelia City, PAxton is no stranger to bustling, high-speed life. Frankly, this is part of his reason for abandoning it all, and travelling afar to a league further afield - Part of it, is attempting to recover a spark of youth and adventure that he once thought lost, and another is to move away from what is becoming a rapidly over-urbanized region - something that he is loathe to admit he actually despises.

He has a background, and a bachelor’s degree, in business management and mathematics, but has very little practical experience with Pokemon battling. He has kept his nose clean his entire life, and has no connections with any criminal organizations or dirty money. Both of his parents are still alive, and reside in Striaton City. He has no siblings.

When he was younger, and still in school, he had ambitions to become a Pokemon Master - but eventually gave away these dreams to pursue something more ‘sensible’, on the urging of his mother. Thus, the only pokemon he ever caught during this time was Togepi, who has been a constant (if perhaps slightly disappointed) companion.

In recent times, his youthful spark of adventure has returned, and he has set out toward a new horizon!


Flaws: Paxton often comes across as cold, though it’s not purposeful - he is slightly muted in how he expresses himself, substantiated by the rather soul-destroying lifestyle of city-salaryman work. Though he’s in the progress of coming out of his shell, it will take time for him to get away from old habits.

His prim-and-proper way of acting is also liable to get him into scrapes - responding quickly to a rare pokemon will be difficult, when all of his trainer equipment is stored away inside a suitcase!


Ambitions: Somewhat typically, for an atypical trainer, Paxton strives to become a pokemon champion - to best every gym, and the league itself, to prove to himself that coming so far away from home was worth it. He plans to bring Togepi - the first pokemon he ever caught, when he was much younger - all the way to the league, to fulfill a promise he made to it many years ago, that he had once thought now unobtainable.


Starter Pokemon: Togepi (No Nickname)

-Open Response Questions-
-Write in third person!-


[Respond to at least 2 of the 3 scenarios. There is a one full paragraph (at least 5 sentences) minimum for each of the scenarios you choose, and responses must be written in third person and formatted like RP instead of a description. Like: ' Steve focuses on the girl with a gasp and asks, " How can I help? " ' other than ' Steve would answer the call to help the cat! Feel free to make responses for the NPC in order to meet this requirement.]

—--------------------------------------------------------------------



You find yourself standing in a bustling town. Suddenly, a small girl runs up to you, her eyes seeming to glisten with fresh tears as her bottom lip quivers. “Please!” She cries out to you, “You must help me! My poor Meowth is stuck in a tree!” She points to a nearby tree as more tears spill out of her eyes and down her cheeks. How does your character respond?

Paxton finds himself surprised, by the sudden crying child. Though presenting a stoic demeanour, it immediately fades as he kneels, to her height, holding out a hand to calm her tears. “Where?” he asks, following her hand as it points toward the tree. He gave a single, quiet nod, and moved over. It swiftly becomes evident that he lacks any skill at tree-climbing - but he gives it his best try!

Scrambling, grasping arms attempted, multiple times, to scrabble up the bark, which, eventually, only ended up in his suit being ruffled and slightly scraped. By the time he looks back, he realises - some time ago, he’d spooked the Meowth from the tree, and hadn’t noticed. He straightens his tie, gives a slight bow, and continues on his way.


—--------------------------------------------------------------------


You are walking along the road when your eyes lock onto a trainer's in the distance. At that moment, you both freeze in place. You see a glimmer in the trainer's eyes as he reaches for his Pokeball. "Go, Rattata! Show this chump what we've been training for!" the trainer shouts as he swiftly releases his chosen partner in the vacant space that separates the two of you. How does your character respond?


Paxton’s eyes narrowed - but he is evidently not one to shy from a challenge, much less after coming so far! A straightening of his tie, and a relaxed opening of his suitcase, a finely-shined red-and-white ball is tossed. “Togepi, I believe in you.”, he speaks, calmly - with an arm thrust out!

The small, timid egg-shaped pokemon waddled, as it appeared in a flash of bright light, and a soft cry of ‘Pi-prrii~’. It seemed reluctant to engage in an actual battle, but the sight of Paxton’s staunch determination gave it the confidence to face it’s opponent!
