IGN (In-game name): Saradunan
Why would you like to have a pre-defined role?: Because I have been on roleplay servers for a year now and i have gotten bored with the old medieval fantasy, I also like developing my characters.
Are you experienced with roleplay?: Yes I have been on Birthright, and lotc
In roleplay, what does Metagaming mean?: Using ooc sources to your advantage in roleplay
In roleplay, what does Powergaming mean?: Forcing an action upon a player that they cannot react to
Please provide a RP example/response to the following scenario, using this format:
Me: Don't touch me! *Screams*
Bandit: Listen! Give me all the goodies you have in your bag! Now! *Starts pointing him with a gun*
You are walking through the streets of "Varisvara", a small old town located in an island. As you walk you notice a shining object in an alley. You attempt to grab it but as soon as you crouch and try to catch this object someone appears behind you. Then this person says something to you...
"Hey, what do you think you are doing?!"
"What you mean, what I think I'm doin'?" A Russian man says stumbling in the alley as he turns towards the man.
"Sir what are you doing?" He says back toward the Russian
"Sir I am not doing anything," Says the Russian smirking holding a beer bottle in his hand. "Want to shake on it?"
"Fine, just make it quick," Says the man shaking he Russians hand, before he knew it he was off guard and was hit in the side of the head by the Russians glass beer bottle.
"C***," says the Russian spitting on the man before stumbling toward the shining object.

Why would you like to have a pre-defined role?: [/b]I usually like my characters to have a bit of meaningful backstory to them, which may influence their decisions later down the line - a pre-defined role would serve as a nice leaping off point for this. I also believe through such a role I'd be able to influence the server in a positive direction and ultimately make the server more enjoyable for others.
Are you experienced with role-play?: [/b]Fairly, yes. In terms of this platform in particular, I've played on a few smaller role-play servers here and there as well as some larger ones like Lord of the Craft.
In roleplay, what does Metagaming mean?: [/b]Metagaming is essentially the use of out-of-character information in-character. This entails utilizing knowledge your character wouldn't reasonably have access too.
In roleplay, what does Powergaming mean?: [/b]In the most bare bones sense, powergaming is the forcing of an action upon another character.
Please provide a RP example/response to the following scenario, using this format:[/b]
Me: Don't touch me! *Screams*
Bandit: Listen! Give me all the goodies you have in your bag! Now! *Starts pointing him with a gun*[/i]

[/b]Stranger: "Hey, what do you think you are doing?!"
Me: Taken off guard, he pauses for but a moment before letting out a soft, exasperated sigh. Rising to his feet, he turned around as to face the man. "Sorry, pal - saw this," he says, gesturing to the aforesaid object, "and I guess I just got a bit carried away."
Stranger: His eyes narrowed, a certain iron fury present within, as though he had been severely wronged. "Carried away... ?" He starts, facial features twisting into an unscrupulous glower. "Carried away?! Get off my property, man - get off." He commands.
Me: Raising his hands up in surrender, and as to convey no ill intent was meant, he slowly backed away before swiveling upon his heel, making his way off.

Why would you like to have a pre-defined role?:
This server seems great! And I would love to get used to the lore (Horror isn't something I do often, but this server was recommended) which I must say seems pretty amazing, even with my limited knowledge on horror.
Are you experienced with roleplay?:
I've been RPing for a year or two, getting increasingly better, I might say.
In roleplay, what does Metagaming mean?:
Metagaming is using OOC information while IRP.
(I.E.)
Player 1's char. knows information, without RP introduction, but instead from OOC source
In roleplay, what does Powergaming mean?:
Powergaming is when you force an action on someone's character.
(I.E.)
Player 1 kills Player 2, and Player 1 makes it so Player 2 cannot defend
Please provide a RP example/response to the following scenario, using this format:
Me: Don't touch me! *Screams*
Bandit: Listen! Give me all the goodies you have in your bag! Now! *Starts pointing him with a gun*
You are walking through the streets of "Varisvara", a small old town located in an island. As you walk you notice a shining object in an alley. You attempt to grab it but as soon as you crouch and try to catch this object someone appears behind you. Then this person says something to you...
"Hey, what do you think you are doing?!"
Me: N-Nothing! Who are you?
Stranger: Ain't your business, but what are you doing?
Me: *Takes gulp* I'm just looking. I've heard talk this place was an attracting spot.
Stranger *Turns his eyes to slits* You don't look much like a tourist
Me: My mistake, friend, I do live here. I hope this doesn't cause trouble?
Stranger: I ain't yourfriend
Me: Very well, mister, but please believe me, I do not wish to cause anything.
Stranger: Afraid it's too late. *He cracks his knuckles menacingly*
Me: Surely we could talk this out?
Stranger: *Cracks his neck* Far past talking.
Me: *Makes a run for it, but not before grabbing the shining item*
Why would you like to have a pre-defined role?: I would a role so that I may join the server as soon as possible. After watching and reading about No Signal, then reading The Collapse post, I'm very excited about the environment, story and system you have going. I have experience in roleplaying different roles, and want to use it to better this server.
Are you experienced with roleplay?: I have spent several years over at LOTC, as well as multiple campaigns across different PnP RPGs. I have come a long way, I think, and have good feedback on it.
In roleplay, what does Metagaming mean?: It is the collecting of information obtained Out of Character, and using that information as if you had gotten it In Character. A common example is PMing someone to come help you when you are in a dangerous situation, without emoting your actions of getting the message out.
In roleplay, what does Powergaming mean?: It is roleplaying without regard to other players. Either by forcing an action upon the opposing player, or by not allowing them to oppose them in the first place. People who powergame are trying to "win" without regard to actual roleplay.
You are walking through the streets of "Varisvara", a small old town located in an island. As you walk you notice a shining object in an alley. You attempt to grab it but as soon as you crouch and try to catch this object someone appears behind you. Then this person says something to you...
"Hey, what do you think you are doing?!"
Me: I quickly scramble away from the person, twisting frantically to get them in my sight. "Holy- what the hell!?!"
Person: They growl, taking a couple steps forward. "What's a creep like you doing out here at night?"
Me: I hold up my hands, trembling slightly from the exertion and surprise, panting slightly. "Woah, woah man. I just thought I saw something. I'm just trying to get back to my hotel room."
Person: They stop, cocking their head to the side, before their lips stretch out into a toothy smile. "Out o' towner, eh? We don't get too many of those around here. All out on your lonesome... Shouldn't have been surprised really, everyone else knows better than to walk into a dark alley at night."
Me: I give my own weak attempt at a smile before lowering my hands and shrugging. "Uh... yeah. Anyways, I'll just get on going then. Heh..."
Person: Their toothy smile grows even wider, and takes another step forward.
Why would you like to have a pre-defined role?: [/b]There are a variety of reasons why. The simplest reason is because I love the concept for this server and would love to start roleplaying as possible. The more complex reason is because I feel having a predefined role seems more interesting to me than becoming a newcomer to Varisvara. I've played so many "newcomer" characters so I feel it would be nice to play a character who has lived in a place their whole life and develop them before visitors come.
Are you experienced with roleplay?: [/b]I would believe I am. I have spent three years roleplaying in D&D and one and a half years roleplaying on minecraft. I have created several characters, each one more interesting and nuanced than the last. I still play some of my first characters to this day, and they have developed greatly. Though probably not the MOST experienced, I am happy with my progression in roleplay.
In roleplay, what does Metagaming mean?: [/b]Using information that is not known in character to influence your character's actions.
In roleplay, what does Powergaming mean?: [/b]Forcing actions on another character without giving them a chance to react, as well as making your own character do actions they would normally or realistically not be able to do.

Me: *Looks behind himself to get a glimpse of the person behind him* Oh, well I saw this object here and I-
Person: Run! Run right now! *Runs in to the alleyway to grab the person by the arm and start running*
Me: *Has his arm grabbed and gets dragged along* What's going on? Why are we running!
Bullets start flying by
Me: Holy hell!
Person: *Still running* You need to learn these streets. People plant interesting objects in an alley where nobody can see, they shoot the person, and strip them of everything valuable.
Me: That's awful! We need to call the police or something!
Person: Police won't do much. They don't care enough about us to help. *Stops running once they are a fair distance away.*
Me: *Takes a minute to catch his breath* Th- thanks... for saving my life and all that... I'm Nevil, by the way.
Person: Eric. Nice to meet you. Please be careful next time. And take this. *Hands the man a knife* It's for protection.
Me: *Takes the knife and examines it* Well, thank you again... I can't say I'm used to weapons.

Why would you like to have a pre-defined role?: Well, I am always tired of people who play "special snowflakes" (You know what I mean if you've been roleplaying for a while) and it makes the world feel more realistic, as not everyone is some special person who has special privileges, we are all just ordinary people.[/b]

The obviously-wealthy man nods, pinching his long, grayed mustache with his aging and bony fingers, chuckling at my response. "Well, it isn't really mine, though it is now! Oi, Rumphert, take care of him!" A large, brooding behemoth of a man steps from the shadows, a red, blood stained wrench resting within his firm grasp. "Now now now, let's not be too hasty-" I attempted to speak, though the huge man swings the wrench at my head, knocking me to the ground. The people on the sidewalk simply ignoring the scenario, as if this is an every day thing. The last thing I see before my vision fades, is the rich man picking up an old-looking key, looking to his bodyguard. "We got what he came for, let us go." Blood begins to block my vision, though I can see the guard kneeling down at me, before he once again hits me with a wrench.
IGN (In-game name): ike709 Why would you like to have a pre-defined role?: Because I love roleplaying, and I didn't have the opportunity to experience No Signal. I'd like to see what this server is like. Plus, my biggest difficulty with roleplaying is creating a backstory. I'm not very creative in that regard. Pre-defined roles solve that issue, to some extent. Are you experienced with roleplay?: I've been roleplaying for nearly five years on several Minecraft servers and through several non-Minecraft mediums. I'm not saying I'm an English major that writes books in my spare time, but I'm competent enough to try and make it as enjoyable as possible for all parties involved, even to my detriment. In roleplay, what does Metagaming mean?: To know the unknowable, using knowledge gained out-of-character in roleplay. In roleplay, what does Powergaming mean?: To force actions to happen without a chance for retaliation. Ex: Bob swings his sword at Lisa, cutting off her hand!

Why would you like to have a pre-defined role?: A Pre-Defined Role can allow narrative and story to continue moving as time passes, allowing the Minecraft RP Experience to continue strongly. Pre-Defined Roles sound like a very new and experimental way that RP personas can be made, so I'd love to participate in how it works.[/b]
Are you experienced with roleplay?: Yes, I've been RPing on Minecraft since 2014, and I've keep it consistent ever since.[/b]
In roleplay, what does Metagaming mean?: To utilize RP knowledge or foresight to influence what you can do in RP, such as knowing where someone is via OOC.[/b]
In roleplay, what does Powergaming mean?: To use emotes in a very abusive and careless way, where you try to force players to abide to your overpowered emotes, which don't give other players a chance to roleplay properly.[/b]

-Them: (name) walks towards (name), attempting to grab him on the wrist. "That's my wedding ring. Now I'd prefer it if you let me take it."[/b]
[b]-Me: (name) has his wrist grabbed by the man, before shuffling back away from the shiny ring. "Go for it, I won't bother 'ya." he says, backing away.[/b]
[b]-Them: (name) picks up the ring, sliding it onto his ring finger. "Don't try anything like that again." he says, walking away from the young man.[/b]
[b]-Me: "What a person." he says, following him before going the different direction from him.[/b]
IGN (In-game name): Kaide_ Why would you like to have a pre-defined role?: It seems like it would be an interesting take on a roleplay, helping fit my character into the puzzle of a web with other players. Overall, it seems like a good way to piece things together. Are you experienced with roleplay?: Yes, I would say so. I currently have about five years of experience under my belt, with roughly a year or so of it being on Minecraft RP servers. In roleplay, what does Metagaming mean?: Metagaming is the act of exploiting otherwise out-of-character information in-character. A good example is your character suddenly knowing exactly when and where a war is going to begin, simply because you heard OOC that it was planned to happen. In roleplay, what does Powergaming mean?: Powergaming is, as the name implies, making your character unreasonably powerful through unrealistic means. It's a bit of an umbrella term, but an example scenario is having my character leap out of the bushes to lop off your character's head in one fell swoop without a chance for you to react. It's both unrealistic and not allowing you a chance to resist.

Me: *puts hands up, beginning to back away* It was just something shiny! I'm not trying to harm you.
Bandit: *growls, glancing around to see if they're alone* I'm giving you ten seconds to scram, unless ya' want a bullet in your head. Don't come back, 'else I'll kill you for sure.

In roleplay, what does Metagaming mean?: To know the unknowable, using knowledge gained out-of-character in roleplay.
In roleplay, what does Powergaming mean?: To force actions to happen without a chance for retaliation. Ex: Bob swings his sword at Lisa, cutting off her hand!
Please provide a RP example/response to the following scenario, using this format:
Me: Don't touch me! *Screams*
Bandit: Listen! Give me all the goodies you have in your bag! Now! *Starts pointing him with a gun*
You are walking through the streets of "Varisvara", a small old town located in an island. As you walk you notice a shining object in an alley. You attempt to grab it but as soon as you crouch and try to catch this object someone appears behind you. Then this person says something to you...
"Hey, what do you think you are doing?!"
Me: *Stands and turns to face the newcomer* "I saw something shiny on the ground, I was hoping to find a coin or something. What do you think you're doing?"
Stranger: "Dibs."
Me: *Quirks an eyebrow* "What?"
Stranger: "I called dibs. It's mine."
Me: *Swears under his breath* "You win this round, stranger..."

Why would you like to have a pre-defined role?: A Pre-Defined Role can allow narrative and story to continue moving as time passes, allowing the Minecraft RP Experience to continue strongly. Pre-Defined Roles sound like a very new and experimental way that RP personas can be made, so I'd love to participate in how it works.[/b]
Are you experienced with roleplay?: Yes, I've been RPing on Minecraft since 2014, and I've keep it consistent ever since.[/b]
In roleplay, what does Metagaming mean?: To utilize RP knowledge or foresight to influence what you can do in RP, such as knowing where someone is via OOC.[/b]
In roleplay, what does Powergaming mean?: To use emotes in a very abusive and careless way, where you try to force players to abide to your overpowered emotes, which don't give other players a chance to roleplay properly.[/b]

-Me: (name) jumps back, surprised by the new man showing up behind him. "I'm trying to figure out what this peculiar item is, my man."[/b]
-Them: (name) walks towards (name), attempting to grab him on the wrist. "That's my wedding ring. Now I'd prefer it if you let me take it."[/b]
[b]-Me: (name) has his wrist grabbed by the man, before shuffling back away from the shiny ring. "Go for it, I won't bother 'ya." he says, backing away.[/b]
[b]-Them: (name) picks up the ring, sliding it onto his ring finger. "Don't try anything like that again." he says, walking away from the young man.[/b]
[b]-Me: "What a person." he says, following him before going the different direction from him.[/b]

Why would you like to have a pre-defined role?: It seems like it would be an interesting take on a roleplay, helping fit my character into the puzzle of a web with other players. Overall, it seems like a good way to piece things together.
Are you experienced with roleplay?: Yes, I would say so. I currently have about five years of experience under my belt, with roughly a year or so of it being on Minecraft RP servers.
In roleplay, what does Metagaming mean?: Metagaming is the act of exploiting otherwise out-of-character information in-character. A good example is your character suddenly knowing exactly when and where a war is going to begin, simply because you heard OOC that it was planned to happen.
In roleplay, what does Powergaming mean?: Powergaming is, as the name implies, making your character unreasonably powerful through unrealistic means. It's a bit of an umbrella term, but an example scenario is having my character leap out of the bushes to lop off your character's head in one fell swoop without a chance for you to react. It's both unrealistic and not allowing you a chance to resist.

Me: Me? I was just trying t--
Bandit: Don't start **** with me, girl. *points pistol at, staring her down* You're treading mighty thin ice here.
Me: *puts hands up, beginning to back away* It was just something shiny! I'm not trying to harm you.
Bandit: *growls, glancing around to see if they're alone* I'm giving you ten seconds to scram, unless ya' want a bullet in your head. Don't come back, 'else I'll kill you for sure.
Me: *nods slowly, quickly turning on her heels and fleeing the scene*
