Once again, the big misunderstanding is exactly this. NOBODY is a bad guy. The server is all about perspective and player centered developments. The only real thing that race affects his how your character's backstory progresses. Other than that, race does not affect whether or not you want to fight for peace, or instigate war. If 3 hobbits, 5 Haradrim, and a Breelander decide that they want to go fight the dwarven kingdom, that's completely alright because there is NO "good" or "evil".
Ok...Not trying to sound like a smart alec or anything but...that would indicate that Sauron wasn't evil...which seems really messed up to me :/...unless you're just talking about the server, then it would still make sense.

In THIS server, and with THIS lore, we are at piece. Sure, they can be labeled as a bad guy, but really it won't effect your gameplay other then racial and nationality tensions. Anybody can really do almost ANYTHING in this server, so called "bad guys" can pair up with "good guys" and kick some more "bad guy's" ass.

Now that makes more sense. If you're talking about no such thing as good or evil in...anything, then that wouldn't exactly be correct. Considering Sauron wanted to destroy the world and all...but if its just the server, then I can see how that would work. Like, the goblin/dwarf feud. Then again, Easterlings are described as evil...but I'd rather just drop the subject here though so we don't get blamed for spamming
Hehe, the server's not even out and you're already this excited about making a faction? Lol, suppose it's never too early, eh(*coughcanadacough* Minnie?
I am kinda of in a race with Ample, to see who can have the most epic faction

Name (Please give your Character a name that fits with your race): Wick Feredin
Race (Go see the race section higher up. And is he a man or a woman): Haradrim Male
Age: 25
Combat Class: Archer
Professional Class: Farmer
Character Backstory :
Wick is a friendly Haradrim. Let us start with his childhood. His mother, Argeit, had given him birth in a small farm outside of a village in the year 102 (FO). While Argeit nurtured and cared for Wick, his father, Kranu, worked in the dry fields under the hot blistering sun. From Wick’s birth to around ten years old, his life was fine. Playing with his neighborhood friends until sun down. He felt as there was not much to do. Some weeks later after his tenth birthday his mother fell ill. From the money they had, they went to a local doctor. After some hours, the doctor told Wick and his father she had caught a disease. It was an early symptom of the sickness. Argeit died around three weeks later. In this period from his mother’s death to Wick becoming thirteen was very depressing for him. He would not eat a lot, and would mostly be quiet and keep to himself. He worked the fields harshly into dusk at times. Wick was a loyal and honest worker. He would go into the village market, whose name has been forgotten, then sell his goods to the highest bidder. Wick’s goods ranged from barely, wheat, carrots, apples, and some meat. He made a fair amount of coin from each produce he sold. All of the money he made was to help his father pay the bills. Wick tried to keep a steady relationship with Kranu.
At around the age of fifteen, Wick had lost his father to a similar disease as his mothers. It was hard for him to live on, and support himself. He did what most teenagers/men did at the time; join the Haradrim Army. He did have to fund himself in getting the armor and the required bow. It took him several months, however he acquired his goal.
Wick was enrolled in a young mens training camp, where he would learn all the needed skills to survive. He made some friends in the short month he was there. The group of 40 young men marched three days straight, disciplined by the Generals. After they got to the camp, which was hidden in a forest. The group Wick was in, learned how to use a dagger, and shoot arrows from 100 feet away. After training very hard for four straight months, the group’s training came to an end. They were ready to be put in the ranks of the Haradrim Archers.
After being placed in various squads/groups of one hundred soldiers. They geared up, then walked to surrounding villages. The first village Wick raided was named Yutali. He did not have the thirst for blood as his companions did. Many children and woman got captured, and killed. Throughout the years since he was 15, he had been a soldier who did things against his will. He heard rumors of a full scale attack on Minas Tirith. He was 17 now, he had gained strength, he indeed improved his shot with the bow along the years.
One year later, the rumors began to become true. The Haradrim army marched through the desert of Harad toward their destination. Wick was in a group full warriors, who looked as they enjoyed killing. He marched with the group onto Pelenor Field. The Haradrim and Easterlings were ready for battle. The small army of the white city galloped out to face them. In the battle he felt terrible as he shot every arrow. After the battle, Wick found his Captain walking alone. He went to his Captain and asked if he could scout out Minas Tirith. His Captain allowed him to do so. Wick walked with a small amount of things to the white city.
Arriving at the city, the gatekeeper asked why he had come. Wick replied, “I seek refuge from the Haradrim Army, and to flee.” The gatekeeper grunted, but allowed him in under a close eye. Families were fleeing out of the nearest exits. A group of people ran the nearby exit. Wick then followed closely behind. Later he found himself outside of the city. He eavesdropped on the men and women who talked about getting help from Rohan. Wick then followed the refugees wherever they went. Now at the year 127 (FO) he was 25.
Roleplay Example:
Wick walks into the Prancing Pony. He hides his head with his cloak. Wick sits down gently. “How ar’ ye’ Mr. Wick?” asked the owner of the bar. “I am, fine I guess, just feeling a bit strange now and then.” said Wick. “Well a glass of my finest wine will do for a fellow like you!” he said. Wick gets his glass of wine, he then slowly drank it. Wick then reached for his pocket, and drew some coins out to pay Jong the fine glass of wine. He then gets up and leaves. Wick walks through the city. He found a young man searching through barrels in a buildings shadow. Wick walks up and asks, “What are you doing?” The man looked over sharply, then whips out a knife. “Is that how we're going to play this game?” asked Wick. The man didn’t make a gesture to attack, but he lunged out. Wick, not being the best fighting head on, got cut on his arm. Wick then ran to attack the young man, but missed. He then fell into the ground, smelling the cobblestone. The young man took something from the barrel and ran.
Physical description(needed. eg what his face looks like) and/or image of skin?: Wick’s skin is a dark tan. His eyes are a dark green, and his hair is a dark brown. He stands 5 Feet and 11 inches high, but looks taller with his shoes on. Wick does not look that muscular when it comes to his overall body.

Race (Go see the race section higher up. And is he a man or a woman): a Man of Dale
Age: 27

Character Backstory [It should be about 3 paragraphs, 400 words or more. And please no stories like this : His/her parents were killed by orcs. He/she trained, found the orcs, and killed them all. The end. (You cannot be anyone important in the server without being approved, you need to work your way to the top.)]:
Berric Mikkelson was born in the Fourth Age 100 in Dale. Son of a moderately successful merchant, Mikkel, Berric lived a very happy childhood. About 10 years later after the birth of Berric, Mikkel's business started to take a turn for the worse. He was forced to take loans from the wrong people. About a year later, Mikkel was in serious financial debt. He was afraid they would take his son away.Then Mikkel remembered the rumours surrounding the Dwarves of Erebor. Sometimes for the right price the Dwarves will take a human child as an apprentice, but to be precise . Mikkel took all his savings and brought his son to Erebor the next day. That day Mikkel Found one of the greatest smiths in Erebor, Nain Steelshaper. He told Nain his story but that wasn’t enough to sway his decision. Then he showed Nain the sack of gold he brought along with him. Inside the sack there was a small fortune, but unfortunately Mikkel’/s debt was much more than that. Even with the large amount of gold Nain refused. “Even if I wanted to, which I do, I’m not aloud to. You see, Mikkel, my brethren wouldn’t like a human making our weapons and tools. I’m sorry, you could try the master miner, Talin Strongarm.
Mikkel spent the rest of the day wandering the halls of Erebor. After hours of searching with Berric for the house of Talin. Mikkel knocked on Talin’s front door. Then Talin stood at the door. Talin was quite large for a Dwarve, 4 foot 9 inches tall .Talin was just looking for an apprentice and took Berric (and the money) without hesitation. From there Talin asked Berric to move in with him because he would need to train Berric day and night to get him to Dwarven mining standards and to teach him the male customs. For Talin thought Berric would need male influence. Everyday, Berric carefully watched Talin when he worked the mines and he would be careful not to interfere with Talin's concentration. For the next few years Talin acted as a father figure for Berric and he was his best friend. Berric was marked as an outsider by the other Dwarves. They didn't trust him alone afraid he would steal the precious jewels and such. He had no one his own age (in human years) to communicate with. Eventually Berric became an introvert. He is always found alone somewhere during his spare time. After 8 years of apprenticeship it is now 120 in the Fourth Age, Talin decided that Berric had finished his training. Berric had reached an expert level by human standards, but Dwarves would call him an average miner. Unfortunately, Berric probably will never reach an expert dwarven level just because of his racial disadvantage. Talin presented Berric with his own pickaxe, with his named engraved on the shaft. The pickaxe was sturdy and well crafted, one best gifts Berric had received from Talin. Berric had no words to express his feelings. He gave Talin a large hug squeezing the air out of him. From that day on, Berric work in the mines beside his best friend Talin Strongarm.
Berric was one of the only humans to join to Goblin raids in the year 125. Being a human, most of the Dwarves requested Berric come on the raids because they didn't trust him. They were afraid that when they're gone he'll steal many valuables. Berric was given a sturdy sword and a swordsman from Dale was hired to train him for a month. This was the first time Berric had communication with a human for 14 years. Then he went on the 3 month raiding trip with the Dwarves of Erebor. There he gain much fighting experience, but he was still only a mediocre swordsman. With only 1 month of training, therefore Berric had very predictable movements. An expert swordsman could tell what Berric would do after each attack. During one of the final raids, Berric was in the front lines. As they approached the hideout, Goblin’s had a trap that dropped anyone who crossed it into a flowing river. The whole front lines of the raid dropped 60 feet into the river. The fall was supposed to kill all who fell through, Berric was an exception. As one of the last to fall through, the bodies of the other Dwarves provided slight cushion to his fall. He still sustained great injuries. He woke in the river the next morning, as he tried to get up he noticed he had a great pain in his left arm and his torso. He looked to his arm and noticed a small Dwarven dagger impaled through his forearm. He quickly ripped off part of his tattered shirt and carefully wrapped it around the impaled object. He was too exhausted to even check his chest injuries. He slowly took out a map from his right pocket and stared at it for a good 5 minutes. He wasn’t actually trying to find a way back to erebor, he already knew the path. He was thinking about what to do. He definitely in Eriador and quite close to Bree at this location. So he could either go back to a life of solitude in the mines under the mountain or he could also live a life of solitude out in the wilds of Eriador. In the end his conscious got the better of him, he chose to live in Eriador.

The end. (You cannot be anyone important in the server without being approved, you need to work your way to the top.)]:
Porto was born in hobbiton, his parents are Hob Bolger and Pansy Bolger, Hob was the mayor of the land of Hobbiton until Porto was born because he decided he that Porto should take all his time, Pansy on the other side worked as a farmer in their farm at their house, but when Porto was going to born just one could make it, Pansy decided that Porto should be the one alive, but Hob didn't want his loved one to die, but the choice was made Pansy died and the child was born, Hob named him as his father, Porto, because he knew that as his father had done, Porto will make great things.
So as Hob left his work as Mayor, he started to work at the farm to make money and experience for Porto to teach him the ways of the farm. While as a kid, Hob told Porto histories of a great hobbit hero, the one who was the mayor before him, who got to have a house in Rivendell, who fight against orcs at the side of elves and men, who died after a fight with his enemy, the fearsome orc, Kharag. Yet Hob didn't tell Porto that the hero he was talking of, was his own grandfather. Porto, growing with this tales, decided he wanted to be and adventurer like the one on the tales, but as his father wanted he worked with him at the farm growing with a passion of harvesting plants, he liked it, but the desire of becoming an adventurer was greater.
So all the time Porto worked at the farm, his ability with plants grew, and his crops came to be one of the best of Hobbiton. But as his curiosity grew about the adventurer of the tale he asked sometimes the elder for their story about him, and as Hob have told them, none told Porto the name of this hero. So Porto got desperate to know, that he went to ask his father for the last time:
Porto: Father, this secret has gone 'o far, I wan' 'o know the name of this hero, bu' no one wants 'o tell it 'o me, thanks 'o ye
Hob: *Smiles to what his son asks* Ye wan' 'o know the name, d'not ye?
Porto: *Begging* Yes please!
Hob: Porto Bolger
Porto: *Expects his father to continue but he doesnt* Yes? That's MY name
Hob: And my father's
Porto: *Surprised* So I'm named after my grandfather?
Hob: Yes you are named after the great hero of the tales
Porto: *Shocked*^My grandfather is the hero, I'm gonna be like him.
Hob: *Smiling* I hope so
So now that Porto has grown up he is going to start his own adventures, and to make great friends, because as he wanted to know the hero's name, he grew without friends, but now he knows and he is open to meet new people.

The end. (You cannot be anyone important in the server without being approved, you need to work your way to the top.)]: Caleldor was born and raised in Minas Tirith to two caring though poor parents. His parents both got deathly ill, as did his sister. In an effort to save them, Caleldor tried to become a healer and learn as much as possible on medicine. He traveled across Middle Earth and even into other lands of Arda, learning and making acquaintances along the way. When Caleldor arrived home to Minas Tirith, his mind filled with knowledge on how he can save his family, he was shocked to find his family lying dead in the street. Caleldor noticed something. His parents and sister had sword wounds. This was not from their disease. His family was murdered. Caleldor was filled with grief. He had so much anger in him as well. Caleldor became obsessed with finding his family's killer. He searched and searched seeking revenge. Caleldor eventually found the man lurking within a cave. Though he was surprised at who it was. A hobbit. A hobbit of the Shire found their way to Minas Tirith and murdered his family. Caleldor ignored it. He drew his sword and beheaded the hobbit regardless of who it was and why they killed his family. Caleldor immediately regretted it. He lingered on what he did for so long and wished to go back in time and take it back. Caleldor tried to run away from it. He lived in Minas Tirith for many years learning more and more about medicine and becoming a better healer. Eventually Minas Tirith was destroyed, though, and Caleldor became a refugee, wandering the wilderness of Middle Earth.

What is RolePlaying for you?: Roleplaying to me is the act of taking on the role (personality,attributes,skills,weaknesses,and lifestyle) of a created character and acting as this character. It is basically living the life of someone you've created and doing/saying as only they would do.
What is MetaGaming in your words?: Metagaming is basically when someone uses OOC information on their charater that their character wouldn't/shouldn't know.
What is PowerGaming in your words?: Powergaming is basically when someone makes their character all-powerful by making them do things that are unreasonable/impossible. The following is an example: *Bill walks into the village and with lightning speed cuts the throat of every man and takes over the village*

Age: 30

Combat Class: Warrior
Character Backstory [It should be about 3 paragraphs, 400 words or more. And please no stories like this : His/her parents were killed by orcs. He/she trained, found the orcs, and killed them all. The end. (You cannot be anyone important in the server without being approved, you need to work your way to the top.)]: On a sunny afternoon, in a small village located just miles outside of Bree, a young Breelander was born to a poor merchant and his wife. His name was Bill. The family lived in a village of only ten homes which was located on dense forest land behind Bree. Bill's father did his best to support his family, and because Bill was the only child, they managed to get by. His mother owned a small garden where she grew and gave vegetables for Bill's father to sell. Bill did not receive any form of education after he was taught to read and write. During his childhood, he spent most of his days around the nearby river where he would catch fish for dinner and timber to heat the small home. He was close with his mother since she had mostly raised him throughout his years. When Bill reached the age of sixteen, his mother became very ill. She could not work in the garden any longer, so Bill's father started to watch the money vanish before his eyes. He became depressed and often did not speak for days. He ate almost nothing and sometimes wouldn't come home for nights at a time. One morning, Bill's father was gone. The night before he had, for the first time ever, told Bill he loved him, but Bill thought nothing of it. With his mother barely clinging to life, Bill gave her almost all of the portions of fish he caught and left little for himself. She died five days after his father left. Bill packed his axe and fishing pole and a bag of timber and dried fish and left his village the morning after. He built a small wooden cabin far away from his old home, and he buried the memories of his family deep within his mind. He was a new man who was one with the forest. Flawless with his axe and sly with his pole, he had no trouble living by himself. He was a friendly fellow to travelers and offered most a place to stay for as long as they needed. He was a peaceful man who didn't like to kill and only became violent when necessary. His life was not exciting, and nothing ever changed, but he was content living among himself. Maybe he did not seek a family out of fear he would lose another person he dearly loved. Maybe not, but all folks knew about Bill was that he was the common fellow always willing to lend a hand, never turning down a guest, excellent with axe and pole,and as friendly as it gets. Bill lives in the forest today, living the same way he always has, awaiting the next traveler to come by.
Roleplay Example (A conversation/fight between your character and someone else. We want to see how well you can Roleplay.): *The man with slick black hair, carrying his bag of belongings, trudged through the forest hoping to find a cave or burrow to wait out the upcoming storm. When he had given up hope at last, he sat at the trunk of a tall Birch, ready for an attempt at rest.* Bill:"Hello traveler, what brings you out here so far away from a village or city?" Traveler: "Why hello, I was just stopping to take a rest. I'm headed to Bree to visit my family." Bill: "Ahh, Bree. Such a lovely place. You know, I live just a ways down this river, and the storm will be upon us soon. A traveler is always welcome in my home, so I invite you to stay for the night. Get your strength up and be off in the morning. What do you say?" Traveler: "Oh my! thankyou so much! I do need a place to stay. You would really let a stranger stay in your home?" Bill: "Oh sure, I don't mind giving away a hot meal and place to stay." Traveler: "But, I'm just curious. Why would you let a stranger stay in your home? I could kill you in your sleep and steal everything you have for all you know." Bill: "Don't give me a reason to not let you stay. Now, come on, I've got some fresh fish roasting over the fire." *Bill and the traveler walk off down the river*
Physical description(needed. eg what his face looks like) and/or image of skin?: He wears a light brown fur coat, and dark brown pants. He wears black boots. He has white skin, blue eyes, and his hair is dark brown. He has a beard, and also wears a hat made from the skin of a spider. (It blends nicely)
****Also if I find a better skin later on I'll make sure it fits the medieval theme and will update the application, of course I'll make sure it's okay before i put it on.

What is his/her ultimate goal?

In THIS server, and with THIS lore, we are at piece. Sure, they can be labeled as a bad guy, but really it won't effect your gameplay other then racial and nationality tensions. Anybody can really do almost ANYTHING in this server, so called "bad guys" can pair up with "good guys" and kick some more "bad guy's" ass.
Sorry that's what I meant

Damn right they dont. We will witness the epic reign of Poipwa2. Heh, get it? An ed joke...

What is MetaGaming in your words?: MetaGaming is when for example, your best friend who is on the other side of Bree, tells you on skype that some character is trying to hunt him down but no one knows. Then he asks you to kill him.
What is PowerGaming in your words?: Lets say you are in battle, and your enemy says that they killed you in one swing, and you died. But you object and say that you rolled back and shot in arrow in his heart. So both players were powergaming, which is overpowering your enemy using false skills.

Name (Please give your Character a name that fits with your race): Wick Feredin
Race (Go see the race section higher up. And is he a man or a woman): Haradrim Male
Age: 25
Combat Class: Archer
Professional Class: Farmer
Character Backstory :
Wick is a friendly Haradrim. Let us start with his childhood. His mother, Argeit, had given him birth in a small farm outside of a village in the year 102 (FO). While Argeit nurtured and cared for Wick, his father, Kranu, worked in the dry fields under the hot blistering sun. From Wick’s birth to around ten years old, his life was fine. Playing with his neighborhood friends until sun down. He felt as there was not much to do. Some weeks later after his tenth birthday his mother fell ill. From the money they had, they went to a local doctor. After some hours, the doctor told Wick and his father she had caught a disease. It was an early symptom of the sickness. Argeit died around three weeks later. In this period from his mother’s death to Wick becoming thirteen was very depressing for him. He would not eat a lot, and would mostly be quiet and keep to himself. He worked the fields harshly into dusk at times. Wick was a loyal and honest worker. He would go into the village market, whose name has been forgotten, then sell his goods to the highest bidder. Wick’s goods ranged from barely, wheat, carrots, apples, and some meat. He made a fair amount of coin from each produce he sold. All of the money he made was to help his father pay the bills. Wick tried to keep a steady relationship with Kranu.
At around the age of fifteen, Wick had lost his father to a similar disease as his mothers. It was hard for him to live on, and support himself. He did what most teenagers/men did at the time; join the Haradrim Army. He did have to fund himself in getting the armor and the required bow. It took him several months, however he acquired his goal.
Wick was enrolled in a young mens training camp, where he would learn all the needed skills to survive. He made some friends in the short month he was there. The group of 40 young men marched three days straight, disciplined by the Generals. After they got to the camp, which was hidden in a forest. The group Wick was in, learned how to use a dagger, and shoot arrows from 100 feet away. After training very hard for four straight months, the group’s training came to an end. They were ready to be put in the ranks of the Haradrim Archers.
After being placed in various squads/groups of one hundred soldiers. They geared up, then walked to surrounding villages. The first village Wick raided was named Yutali. He did not have the thirst for blood as his companions did. Many children and woman got captured, and killed. Throughout the years since he was 15, he had been a soldier who did things against his will. He heard rumors of a full scale attack on Minas Tirith. He was 17 now, he had gained strength, he indeed improved his shot with the bow along the years.
One year later, the rumors began to become true. The Haradrim army marched through the desert of Harad toward their destination. Wick was in a group full warriors, who looked as they enjoyed killing. He marched with the group onto Pelenor Field. The Haradrim and Easterlings were ready for battle. The small army of the white city galloped out to face them. In the battle he felt terrible as he shot every arrow. After the battle, Wick found his Captain walking alone. He went to his Captain and asked if he could scout out Minas Tirith. His Captain allowed him to do so. Wick walked with a small amount of things to the white city.
Arriving at the city, the gatekeeper asked why he had come. Wick replied, “I seek refuge from the Haradrim Army, and to flee.” The gatekeeper grunted, but allowed him in under a close eye. Families were fleeing out of the nearest exits. A group of people ran the nearby exit. Wick then followed closely behind. Later he found himself outside of the city. He eavesdropped on the men and women who talked about getting help from Rohan. Wick then followed the refugees wherever they went. Now at the year 127 (FO) he was 25.
Roleplay Example:
Wick walks into the Prancing Pony. He hides his head with his cloak. Wick sits down gently. “How ar’ ye’ Mr. Wick?” asked the owner of the bar. “I am, fine I guess, just feeling a bit strange now and then.” said Wick. “Well a glass of my finest wine will do for a fellow like you!” he said. Wick gets his glass of wine, he then slowly drank it. Wick then reached for his pocket, and drew some coins out to pay Jong the fine glass of wine. He then gets up and leaves. Wick walks through the city. He found a young man searching through barrels in a buildings shadow. Wick walks up and asks, “What are you doing?” The man looked over sharply, then whips out a knife. “Is that how we're going to play this game?” asked Wick. The man didn’t make a gesture to attack, but he lunged out. Wick, not being the best fighting head on, got cut on his arm. Wick then ran to attack the young man, but missed. He then fell into the ground, smelling the cobblestone. The young man took something from the barrel and ran.
Personality traits: Somewhat insane, unstable, enjoys wilderness.
Physical description(needed. eg what his face looks like) and/or image of skin?: Wick’s skin is a dark tan. His eyes are a dark green, and his hair is a dark brown. He stands 5 Feet and 11 inches high, but looks taller with his shoes on. Wick does not look that muscular when it comes to his overall body.
Weakness: Horrible Liar, paranoid, easily deceived, afraid of loud noises.
What is his/her ultimate goal?: To live a peaceful life and own a big farm.

Name (Please give your Character a name that fits with your race): Berric Mikkelson
Race (Go see the race section higher up. And is he a man or a woman): a Man of Dale
Age: 27
Combat Class: Warrior
Professional Class: Miner
Character Backstory [It should be about 3 paragraphs, 400 words or more. And please no stories like this : His/her parents were killed by orcs. He/she trained, found the orcs, and killed them all. The end. (You cannot be anyone important in the server without being approved, you need to work your way to the top.)]:
Berric Mikkelson was born in the Fourth Age 100 in Dale. Son of a moderately successful merchant, Mikkel, Berric lived a very happy childhood. About 10 years later after the birth of Berric, Mikkel's business started to take a turn for the worse. He was forced to take loans from the wrong people. About a year later, Mikkel was in serious financial debt. He was afraid they would take his son away.Then Mikkel remembered the rumours surrounding the Dwarves of Erebor. Sometimes for the right price the Dwarves will take a human child as an apprentice, but to be precise . Mikkel took all his savings and brought his son to Erebor the next day. That day Mikkel Found one of the greatest smiths in Erebor, Nain Steelshaper. He told Nain his story but that wasn’t enough to sway his decision. Then he showed Nain the sack of gold he brought along with him. Inside the sack there was a small fortune, but unfortunately Mikkel’/s debt was much more than that. Even with the large amount of gold Nain refused. “Even if I wanted to, which I do, I’m not aloud to. You see, Mikkel, my brethren wouldn’t like a human making our weapons and tools. I’m sorry, you could try the master miner, Talin Strongarm.
Mikkel spent the rest of the day wandering the halls of Erebor. After hours of searching with Berric for the house of Talin. Mikkel knocked on Talin’s front door. Then Talin stood at the door. Talin was quite large for a Dwarve, 4 foot 9 inches tall .Talin was just looking for an apprentice and took Berric (and the money) without hesitation. From there Talin asked Berric to move in with him because he would need to train Berric day and night to get him to Dwarven mining standards and to teach him the male customs. For Talin thought Berric would need male influence. Everyday, Berric carefully watched Talin when he worked the mines and he would be careful not to interfere with Talin's concentration. For the next few years Talin acted as a father figure for Berric and he was his best friend. Berric was marked as an outsider by the other Dwarves. They didn't trust him alone afraid he would steal the precious jewels and such. He had no one his own age (in human years) to communicate with. Eventually Berric became an introvert. He is always found alone somewhere during his spare time. After 8 years of apprenticeship it is now 120 in the Fourth Age, Talin decided that Berric had finished his training. Berric had reached an expert level by human standards, but Dwarves would call him an average miner. Unfortunately, Berric probably will never reach an expert dwarven level just because of his racial disadvantage. Talin presented Berric with his own pickaxe, with his named engraved on the shaft. The pickaxe was sturdy and well crafted, one best gifts Berric had received from Talin. Berric had no words to express his feelings. He gave Talin a large hug squeezing the air out of him. From that day on, Berric work in the mines beside his best friend Talin Strongarm.
Berric was one of the only humans to join to Goblin raids in the year 125. Being a human, most of the Dwarves requested Berric come on the raids because they didn't trust him. They were afraid that when they're gone he'll steal many valuables. Berric was given a sturdy sword and a swordsman from Dale was hired to train him for a month. This was the first time Berric had communication with a human for 14 years. Then he went on the 3 month raiding trip with the Dwarves of Erebor. There he gain much fighting experience, but he was still only a mediocre swordsman. With only 1 month of training, therefore Berric had very predictable movements. An expert swordsman could tell what Berric would do after each attack. During one of the final raids, Berric was in the front lines. As they approached the hideout, Goblin’s had a trap that dropped anyone who crossed it into a flowing river. The whole front lines of the raid dropped 60 feet into the river. The fall was supposed to kill all who fell through, Berric was an exception. As one of the last to fall through, the bodies of the other Dwarves provided slight cushion to his fall. He still sustained great injuries. He woke in the river the next morning, as he tried to get up he noticed he had a great pain in his left arm and his torso. He looked to his arm and noticed a small Dwarven dagger impaled through his forearm. He quickly ripped off part of his tattered shirt and carefully wrapped it around the impaled object. He was too exhausted to even check his chest injuries. He slowly took out a map from his right pocket and stared at it for a good 5 minutes. He wasn’t actually trying to find a way back to erebor, he already knew the path. He was thinking about what to do. He definitely in Eriador and quite close to Bree at this location. So he could either go back to a life of solitude in the mines under the mountain or he could also live a life of solitude out in the wilds of Eriador. In the end his conscious got the better of him, he chose to live in Eriador.

Race (Go see the race section higher up. And is he a man or a woman): Hobbit male
Age: 35
Combat Class: Archer (I chose this class because I think it is the more suitable for a hobbit)
Professional Class: Farmer
Character Backstory [It should be about 3 paragraphs, 400 words or more. And please no stories like this : His/her parents were killed by orcs. He/she trained, found the orcs, and killed them all. The end. (You cannot be anyone important in the server without being approved, you need to work your way to the top.)]:
Porto was born in hobbiton, his parents are Hob Bolger and Pansy Bolger, Hob was the mayor of the land of Hobbiton until Porto was born because he decided he that Porto should take all his time, Pansy on the other side worked as a farmer in their farm at their house, but when Porto was going to born just one could make it, Pansy decided that Porto should be the one alive, but Hob didn't want his loved one to die, but the choice was made Pansy died and the child was born, Hob named him as his father, Porto, because he knew that as his father had done, Porto will make great things.
So as Hob left his work as Mayor, he started to work at the farm to make money and experience for Porto to teach him the ways of the farm. While as a kid, Hob told Porto histories of a great hobbit hero, the one who was the mayor before him, who got to have a house in Rivendell, who fight against orcs at the side of elves and men, who died after a fight with his enemy, the fearsome orc, Kharag. Yet Hob didn't tell Porto that the hero he was talking of, was his own grandfather. Porto, growing with this tales, decided he wanted to be and adventurer like the one on the tales, but as his father wanted he worked with him at the farm growing with a passion of harvesting plants, he liked it, but the desire of becoming an adventurer was greater.
So all the time Porto worked at the farm, his ability with plants grew, and his crops came to be one of the best of Hobbiton. But as his curiosity grew about the adventurer of the tale he asked sometimes the elder for their story about him, and as Hob have told them, none told Porto the name of this hero. So Porto got desperate to know, that he went to ask his father for the last time:
Porto: Father, this secret has gone 'o far, I wan' 'o know the name of this hero, bu' no one wants 'o tell it 'o me, thanks 'o ye
Hob: *Smiles to what his son asks* Ye wan' 'o know the name, d'not ye?
Porto: *Begging* Yes please!
Hob: Porto Bolger
Porto: *Expects his father to continue but he doesnt* Yes? That's MY name
Hob: And my father's
Porto: *Surprised* So I'm named after my grandfather?
Hob: Yes you are named after the great hero of the tales
Porto: *Shocked*^My grandfather is the hero, I'm gonna be like him.
Hob: *Smiling* I hope so
So now that Porto has grown up he is going to start his own adventures, and to make great friends, because as he wanted to know the hero's name, he grew without friends, but now he knows and he is open to meet new people.

The end. (You cannot be anyone important in the server without being approved, you need to work your way to the top.)]:
Caleldor was born and raised in Minas Tirith to two caring though poor parents. His parents both got deathly ill, as did his sister. In an effort to save them, Caleldor tried to become a healer and learn as much as possible on medicine. He traveled across Middle Earth and even into other lands of Arda, learning and making acquaintances along the way. When Caleldor arrived home to Minas Tirith, his mind filled with knowledge on how he can save his family, he was shocked to find his family lying dead in the street.
Caleldor noticed something. His parents and sister had sword wounds. This was not from their disease. His family was murdered. Caleldor was filled with grief. He had so much anger in him as well. Caleldor became obsessed with finding his family's killer. He searched and searched seeking revenge. Caleldor eventually found the man lurking within a cave. Though he was surprised at who it was.
A hobbit. A hobbit of the Shire found their way to Minas Tirith and murdered his family. Caleldor ignored it. He drew his sword and beheaded the hobbit regardless of who it was and why they killed his family. Caleldor immediately regretted it. He lingered on what he did for so long and wished to go back in time and take it back. Caleldor tried to run away from it. He lived in Minas Tirith for many years learning more and more about medicine and becoming a better healer. Eventually Minas Tirith was destroyed, though, and Caleldor became a refugee, wandering the wilderness of Middle Earth.

What is RolePlaying for you?: Roleplaying to me is the act of taking on the role (personality,attributes,skills,weaknesses,and lifestyle) of a created character and acting as this character. It is basically living the life of someone you've created and doing/saying as only they would do.
What is MetaGaming in your words?: Metagaming is basically when someone uses OOC information on their charater that their character wouldn't/shouldn't know.
What is PowerGaming in your words?: Powergaming is basically when someone makes their character all-powerful by making them do things that are unreasonable/impossible.

The end. (You cannot be anyone important in the server without being approved, you need to work your way to the top.)]:
On a sunny afternoon, in a small village located just miles outside of Bree, a young Breelander was born to a poor merchant and his wife. His name was Bill. The family lived in a village of only ten homes which was located on dense forest land behind Bree. Bill's father did his best to support his family, and because Bill was the only child, they managed to get by. His mother owned a small garden where she grew and gave vegetables for Bill's father to sell. Bill did not receive any form of education after he was taught to read and write. During his childhood, he spent most of his days around the nearby river where he would catch fish for dinner and timber to heat the small home. He was close with his mother since she had mostly raised him throughout his years.
When Bill reached the age of sixteen, his mother became very ill. She could not work in the garden any longer, so Bill's father started to watch the money vanish before his eyes. He became depressed and often did not speak for days. He ate almost nothing and sometimes wouldn't come home for nights at a time. One morning, Bill's father was gone. The night before he had, for the first time ever, told Bill he loved him, but Bill thought nothing of it. With his mother barely clinging to life, Bill gave her almost all of the portions of fish he caught and left little for himself. She died five days after his father left. Bill packed his axe and fishing pole and a bag of timber and dried fish and left his village the morning after.
He built a small wooden cabin far away from his old home, and he buried the memories of his family deep within his mind. He was a new man who was one with the forest. Flawless with his axe and sly with his pole, he had no trouble living by himself. He was a friendly fellow to travelers and offered most a place to stay for as long as they needed. He was a peaceful man who didn't like to kill and only became violent when necessary. His life was not exciting, and nothing ever changed, but he was content living among himself. Maybe he did not seek a family out of fear he would lose another person he dearly loved. Maybe not, but all folks knew about Bill was that he was the common fellow always willing to lend a hand, never turning down a guest, excellent with axe and pole,and as friendly as it gets. Bill lives in the forest today, living the same way he always has, awaiting the next traveler to come by.
Roleplay Example (A conversation/fight between your character and someone else. We want to see how well you can Roleplay.):
*The man with slick black hair, carrying his bag of belongings, trudged through the forest hoping to find a cave or burrow to wait out the upcoming storm. When he had given up hope at last, he sat at the trunk of a tall Birch, ready for an attempt at rest.*
Bill:"Hello traveler, what brings you out here so far away from a village or city?"
Traveler: "Why hello, I was just stopping to take a rest. I'm headed to Bree to visit my family."
Bill: "Ahh, Bree. Such a lovely place. You know, I live just a ways down this river, and the storm will be upon us soon. A traveler is always welcome in my home, so I invite you to stay for the night. Get your strength up and be off in the morning. What do you say?"
Traveler: "Oh my! thankyou so much! I do need a place to stay. You would really let a stranger stay in your home?"
Bill: "Oh sure, I don't mind giving away a hot meal and place to stay."
Traveler: "But, I'm just curious. Why would you let a stranger stay in your home? I could kill you in your sleep and steal everything you have for all you know."
Bill: "Don't give me a reason to not let you stay. Now, come on, I've got some fresh fish roasting over the fire."
*Bill and the traveler walk off down the river*
Personality traits: Friendly, Hardworking, Peaceful, easy-going
Physical description(needed. eg what his face looks like) and/or image of skin?: He wears a light brown fur coat, and dark brown pants. He wears black boots. He has white skin, blue eyes, and his hair is dark brown. He has a beard, and also wears a hat made from the skin of a spider. (It blends nicely)
****Also if I find a better skin later on I'll make sure it fits the medieval theme and will update the application, of course I'll make sure it's okay before i put it on.

Weakness: Archery, sometimes too nice, not great in combat.
What is his/her ultimate goal? ( Ex: Becoming a king, owning the biggest farm, being the richest merchant in Eriador ) Bill does not wish to obtain unimaginable wishes or to become an all-powerful king but only to live his simple life and be known as the kind woodsman who helps everyone out, and if needed, to obtain a role in the government and bring power to the people.
