Definitions In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:
Roleplaying: To role play is to forget the real parts of the world, forget the name that you are given by birth and forget the attitude you have gotten used to. After that, You endure a character of your creation, wether it is a Knight, A witch, A wizard or any other kind. You will take on that characters emotions, speech, and actions.
Meta-gaming: To abuse the information you have learned while out of character and to use it while role playing. For example if you and a friend are talking on the phone in real life and he tells you where a gold mine is on the server, and you head straight there, that is meta-gaming. Since you have learned that information OOC (out of character) and used it IC (In character)
Power-emoting: To Power-Emote is to act or be overpowered. For example, someone comes up behind you and tries punch you in the face, and you react by saying like you dodged the punch and you instantly thrust a blade through his heart. That is power gaming because 1: You apparently reacted to something that happened behind you and you not noticing and two you forced an action.

Full Name: Sicarius Hanoway
Current Age: 21
Sub-race (if any):
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
Sicarius was born into the Hanoway name in Oren. His parents held a small home at the edge of the kingdom... Them as only couriers there was nothing out of the ordinary here. At the age of three, Ellie Hanoway his mother noticed something strange with her son. While other children were just playing with leather boxes just building squares or something. No he was stripping the leather off and stuck it onto the wall, it formed the materialistic material of a long sword. Though this was not that strange it might have been a coincidence. Now he was five year old, growing up under the influence of his parents they have began home schooling him. All the time at the dinner table he would always pickup a toy knife and tried to poke his father Maten Hanoway with it.
At the age of ten, Sicarius decided to sneak out to see the town. He started walking through the town, all of a sudden one of the Knights of the Oren kingdom had bumped into him. As he fell down he felt a hand turn around and reach down and grab him just before his back touches the ground. He feels a instant just, and he's standing on his feet. Sicarius looks up to see a noble strong looking man staring at him. "Hello, their young man. You best be careful around here, don't want you falling and ruining you clothes!" the man said to me. All of a sudden a voice appeared from the distance. "Sir Ramboy, you are needed in the castle!" The man looks to his right and says good bye to me and leaves. I after ran home and asked my father if he knew a Sir Ramboy. My father explained to me if there is someone called "Sir" that means they are knights, who fight for the kingdom. The next eleven years I have always looked up to the castle hoping that I some day might join the knight order. At the age of sixteen, I was helping my parents deliver letters and make a little money. The next few years went by fast until finally, my parents came to me and said that it is time for me to go travel and see the world. I had denied it but when I was twenty one, I accepted the offer and set off.

1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?
Answer: Sicarius is walking through the town at night time, when all of a sudden at the corner of his eye a deep dark shadow appears to be moving up the steps towards the emperor castle, this man's cloak is shaded by the midst of the night. Out of curiousity, Sicarius decides to follow him up the grey cracked stairs quietly. As he runs towards the beginning of the steps, he watches the man carefully to see what he is going to do next. Finally, caught up to him. Sicarius approaches carefully, ready to drop the ground if the man is to tilt his head. No sudden movement from the man. Now close to the doors, he sees the man head around the guards of the door. Instead of going around, Sicarius decides to grab two rocks of the ground and is ready to throw them aiming at the door. When he noticed the man approach the door, without a second thought he tried to throw the two medium sized rocks towards the entrance door. Flying through the air only one hits the door and makes a pretty large sound that startles the guards, they turn to the door and see the man trying to sneak in. On that note, Sicarius turns and heads back down the steps.
2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?
Answer: As Sicarius walks through the woods he hears distinctive voices, that seem of some aid. Armed with his usual weapons and armour he heads for the voices. Through the very thick forest, he loses sight of the direction of where the sound came from. Stopping for a rest he sees a small opening ahead. As he continues to follow it, he emerges in a large clearing with a a small cobbled cottage. As he comes closer he recognizes three people there, one seemed to be an old man only armed with an iron blade and the other two heavily armed. Unsheathing his blade, he carefully sneaks up behind the two men. *Sicarius attempts to hit the two men with the blunt side of his longsword to attract their attention.* The hit strikes them by surprise, and they turn around with their axes out and yell "EY MATE! YER A DEAD MAN NOW!!!" Sicarius breaks a little grin and sheathes his sword and begins to run away to the forest. The two follow him. After sometime of running Sicarius returns back to the cottage and knocks on the door. The old man opens with his sword out. "Sir, we have to hide they will be coming back for both of us any time soon!" Sicarius explains, at that note the man opens the door and then slams it back again letting him in the just of a second. "Do you have a trapdoor of some kind that we could hide in?" Sicarius asks the man. The mans nods. "Good lets hide their, grab you valuables and lets go. " After about a minute they are hiding already in the trapdoor waiting for the bandits to come back. Soon after they hear a slam as if the door was broken down. Time passes and they come back out...
3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).
Sicarius, walking around town looking for shops. At the corner of his eye he sees a small man behind a colorful stall. He approaches the stall and notices all types of goods to be sold here. "Mighty fine goods you have here bud, how much would you sell me this stone dagger for?" SIcarius is curious and asks. "I don't got a price on hit yet, but how about fifty minas?" The merchant explains. "FIFTY MINAS? Are you crazy sir, have a little to much to drink?? I will give you ten mina for it." Sicarius starts to haggle. "Hmm, I will lower it to twenty five!" Says the merchant. "That is still a very high price how about fifteen minas?" Sicarius explains. "No no that won't work, how about you give me that necklace of yours as well?" The merchant bargains. "My necklace just for a stone dagger no way! Hmm how about if I give you fifteen minas and I buy you drink lad?" Sicarius says. "A drink sounds nice.... Alright you got yourself a deal" The man concludes as Sicarius hands the fifteen minas over.

While passing through the city I see a dwarf who is selling in one of the stalls. Walking by it I see that he is selling Ale. Some of the malaurir whom I am escorting to the Silver City have decided to see what type of Ale it is. I quickly get them out knowing they would be frowned upon if caught drinking the Ale of other races, let alone a dwarf. Its bad enough that they are young and are trying new things when going through the city. After getting out of the city I scold them for even going near it.

Character Name: Amercane
Character Race: Human Male
Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary: His name is Amercane. He was born in a land he named, Taigae (pronounced tie-gay). It was amazing, such a beautiful sight because it was his first. New to the world, and new to survival itself. But, one day he was enraged at a lost he didn't know how to take at the time. He had never experienced somthing like this. He destroyed Taigae, not knowing that he had done a horrible mistake. Later on, other generated worlds didn't please him as much as Taigae. Then he regretted what he had done. He wanted to be around others after that, so he visited a land called LevelUp.
Here, he learned the excitment of PvP! Unfortunatly, he learned the harshness of it also. But, one man saw him crying out for help because he had nothing. This man will change the course of his life. His name is Old Toast. He accepted him and teach Amercane how to fight and survive. Amercane learned what is worth fighting for, the honor of doing it, and who you can look out for. But in the midst of all this, he also worked seperatley for a government known as the Deriman Alliance. In fact, he established the alliance. They are a free nation. They are the legacy. Now on to his basic info (haha sorry). Amercane is 27 years old, he wears his amour alot. A helmet formatted with a black visor and a metallic-like suit that covers him head to toe. But under that armor he has light peach skin, black hair, brown eyes, wears a pear of regular jeans, and a cyan shirt with bright blue edges at the shoulders. He has a friendly and understanding personality, humans or non-humans. But is very cautious, do to his knowledge of the PvP life. He only takes risks when he really needs to or when commanded to. He also has a good amount of knowledge on redstone engineering. One other final fact: Amercane has a genetic changer module called an MPM ( MorePlayerModels provided by Noppes Corps. ) that can allow him to transform into certain types of species such as an enderchibi, dragon, lepord, and somtimes a serpent. But yeah, that's his basic info.
What are your characters ambitions?: Amercane is ambitious at times. One ambition is he wants to rule a strong ruling government that rules peacefully over its people. Giving the people safety, they will be treated equally. Human or non-human, everyone will have the same rights.
Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here: Look at the bottom of the app, very sorry it's small! D: Also, Amercane has 2 skins. One with his armor on and one in his regular clothes.
Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: Amercane is someone who you can always have by your side. No matter what, if he trusts you, he will never back-stab you. He likes to have friends and socialize.

Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response? I would check out what wares he's selling, just to try to give him some business. I would tell him "No worries my friend, you will find some comfort in this glorious city. I can try to help you out by buying one of your wares! I'll tell my friends about your shop. I hope that may help you. Oh and hey, catch me around!"
You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do? I would say: "Step away orc! There is no need to bring up a foolish fight over a dwarf!" If he refuses and starts harming the dwarf, I will attack him back in the dwarf's defense.
Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man.

[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]Do you have a good grip on English grammar and the English language?:[/color][/color]
[color=#000000]Yes. Though it’s the colonial variety.[/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]Have you had any previous experience in roleplaying?:[/color][/color]
[color=#000000]Yes. I have nearly a decade of online roleplaying experience. I began in a Neverwinter Nights persistent world called Brynsaar, and then in various RP related guilds in popular MMO type games- World of Warcraft mainly (there were some good guilds if you looked). I am experienced with the need to create a character, write an application, and then meld into an already established online community. [/color]

[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is:[/color][/color]
[color=#000000]Roleplaying, in this medium, is improvised creative writing authored by multiple people each responsible for an individual character. Each participant is responsible for giving life to a character, while granting his/her fellows the room and opportunity to do the same with theirs. [/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is:[/color][/color]
[color=#000000]Metagaming is the act of using game mechanics or your personal knowledge to help your character “win” in the world. It’s allowing your character to break-the-forth-wall and advance his/her goals with abilities and information not actually available to them. For example: it’s like if Hamlet jumped into the audience, grabbed a pistol from someone in the front row, jumped back on the stage and shot his Uncle- thereby “winning” the play.[/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is:[/color][/color]
[color=#000000]Power-emoting usually involves one player forcing actions on another player with action text. It is much like one puppeteer reaching over and twiddling the strings of another person’s marionette. Other forms include giving your character extra powers or the benefit of amazing luck through childish ‘one-upmanship.’[/color]

[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]Character Race:[/color]Southron[/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]Character biography:color][/color]
[color=#000000]Emil was raised near the northern verge of the desert. His father was a shepherd, and his mother a fletcher, providing her husband the arrows to shoot the wolves which threatened the flock. So he was raised to understand sustenance existence, and the need to defend what was yours, And though a child, Emil was content. Then- the orcs came.[/color]
[color=#000000]They were fascinating. Smelly, strong... seemingly stupid but capable of haggling a competitive price for wool from his miser father.. As Emil ate the beef traded by the orcs that night, he knew there was much more to the world than his own home, and he decided he wanted to see it all. But his departure the following morning proved unsuccessful. After his father dragged him back home, his mother’s tears forced Emil to give an oath to remain home till his siblings were grown.[/color]
[color=#000000]So the years near the desert passed. Emil grew able with the bow, comfortable with the ways of both desert and plain, and acquainted with the sword. When he turned 23, his brothers were finally old enough to help his parents, and so Emil’s great adventure could finally begin. [/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]What are your characters ambitions?:[/color][/color]

[color=#000000]I’m new to the server, so I thought an open character would be best. I don’t know the world or the community, so Emil is someone who can develop as I play and find things fun.[/color]

[color=#000000]
[color="#FF8C00"]Each question here must be answered with a minimum of one full paragraph, and detail the scene you are given in the way it would happen in roleplay. These questions should be answered in first person. Be detailed, not short.[/color]
[/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response?[/color][/color]
[color=#000000]Dwarves never came around my place when I was a boy, but they look just like how they are described in the storybooks. Short with a big beard. Out of curiosity, I wander over to take a look at the dwarf as much as see what he was selling. The dwarf smells heavily of stale ale, and he seems to be selling a selection of trinkets and tools. [/color]
[color=#000000]“‘Allo, lad. Can ah interest ye with fine dwarven craftsmanship?” His eyes narrow in sudden interest. “Where yeh from, anyway? That’s an interesting head-wrap yeh got there.”[/color]
[color=#000000]My hand drifts to my keffiyeh. “Many people wear these in the south. It helps against the sun and sand.”[/color]
[color=#000000]The dwarf grunts. “Ain’t much sand in these parts, though.”[/color]
[color=#000000]“True. But it works well on dust, and- and the smell of the city.”[/color]
[color=#000000]The dwarf gunts. “Human cities do reek, ah’ll give ya that. No offense, lad. But yer people don’t know much about plumbing.”[/color]
[color=#000000]“Plumbing?”[/color]
[color=#000000]The dwarf snorted and waved a hand. “That’s what ah mean. Anyway, look kid- Yeh here ta buy anything?”[/color]
[color=#000000]I shake my head, shame redding my skin under my scarf. “No, I’m not looking to buy.” I don’t have any money.[/color]
[color=#000000]The dwarf seemed to sense it. “Well, if money is what yeh need, yeh came to the right place. That’s why ah came to this city, me’self. Find some work, or sell some goods. It’s what we all do.”[/color]
[color=#000000]It sounded like good advice.[/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?[/color][/color]
[color=#000000]I don’t know that dwarf, and I sure don’t know that orc. I’m not going to get involved with whatever this is. The side of the road is a bit rough and brushy, but a bit of discomfort is better than getting between a pair of axes. My keffiyeh keeps catching on the branches, so I’m forced to pull it off. The northern air feels brisk on my skin. Before long, the sounds of argument turn to roars of battle, but those begin fading as I move further and further away. Once the silence of the night falls again, I’ll get back on the road.[/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?:[/color][/color]
[color=#000000]I offer my hand to the old man. “Can I help you, sir?”[/color]
[color=#000000]“Bugger-off, southron!” the man grumbles, “I can take care of myself.”[/color]
[color=#000000]Stung, I withdraw my hand and watch the old fool gather his coins and get to his feet. Reminds me a little of my grandfather. Old ******* would never admit he needed help. I guess people in the north are a lot like people in the south. Not all parts of adventure could be magical, I suppose.[/color]

Minecraft Account Name: OverlordCommand
How old are you?: 14

Have you read, understood and agreed to the rules?: Yes
What previous experience have you had in roleplaying?: I have role-played on the website of Nationstates for around one year. I have learned so much and grown greatly there.
How did you hear about the the Lord of the Craft?: I found it at random sometime ago. I only recently got active in it though I guess the size made me feel like I would have no chance.
Link any applications that you have previously made for the server: N/A
Have you posted this application on the MinecraftForum? If not, then please do so (link above): Yes
Have you read the Human lore, and shall you ensure you make use of it and follow it in your biography?:Yes
Definitions In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:
Roleplaying: Acting in a role made or given to you. It is normally done with others which allows you to make yourself become one with the story. Become as if you are actually in it. Your mindset must shift from being yourself to acting as your new "person"/ role.
Meta-gaming: Telling others or acting on information that he/ she should not know. It is against the laws of the land and disrupts the normal role-play of the server. For example say a enemy is hiding in your mind. You see the nametag when you are walking above. You may see the name but in a real life situation you would not see someones name like that now would you? So hence you must continue until you see the person physically.
Power-emoting: (The most annoying to me) This is when a player does something or hurts soneone or seomthing with giving the other player even a chance to react. Such as juts walking up to someone and saying *stabs in heart body falls down dead*. In that case you gave no chance for the person to even have a chance of survival or role-playing the situation out. Maybe that person would have fought you and won? Maybe he would have ran away because he is secretly scared of you. Role-playing things out makes many new opinions for each new player. This too is against the laws of the land and is not allowed.
In-Character Information: Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Vale Genul
Current Age: 20
Sub-race (if any): Northerner
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): When Vale was a child he grew up in a large slum that people dare call a village A peasant living in brutal poverty. It was not uncommon to see men's bodies being found around every turn. Dying brutal unforgettable deaths. This environment was not suitable for some grown men let alone a child at the age of seven. The boy had only a father. His mother died in labor with his sister Laraelia 2 years before these troubling time. That is where Vale's troubles began.
After the death of his mother his father became obsessed with the fate of every old stupid man. he found love in his ale and mead. He drank sunset till sunrise. When Vale once asked why father always smelt like stable boys his father went into a violent tirade. Smashing what little he had not sold to his addiction. In his violent rampage he knocked vale off his feet by punching the child. A ring his father was wearing scraped across his young skin. Blood became visible to Vale.
After hiding from his father because of the wound Vale anger wore off and drifted into depression.
As his father's radical anger issues became more and more outrageous his father drank them out of there house a year after his mother's death. The life of a poor child was nothing new to Vale as looting corpses and scavenging for food became a daily event even while they owned their house. Their father had not given them anything. Vale had taken Laraelia under his protection. His father would not even see the child. He blamed her for the death of his wife. Vale took the child as the last part of his mother. A part that must be protected and kept from the clutches of their father.
After the house was gone their father left the children to survive or die. Some rumors of the people say he left with a girl, some say he was murdered at night, others say he became sober and is still searching for his children. Vale did not care. He didn't care if he came back anymore.
While living in the slums until age 8 he decided that if he was to try to save his sister from being effected from this mess the time to go was now. She was 2 as now and was approaching her third name-day. If he was to keep her pure of this place the time to go was now. Vale left the slums in search of a better home. A home in which he could live peacefully. His elf connections led him to small elven village.
Nature lived around him and he learned from the elves. He learned more about bows then he had ever knew existed. Although he did not focus on weaponry he focused on something that interested him throughout his life. He focused on numbers. They fascinated him and through time he learned trade from the elves. When his sister turned 15 he found her a suitor. A young elf that Vale had knew from the people. He told them after the wedding that he would be leaving. In search of a place to open a shop and start to earn money.
Waving good bye to his friends and sister he rode off towards a new life. He found a slightly large city and decided to use his abilities to his advantage. He set up shop and began to trade with the people of both the land and sea. He held no racism in him so this did not prevent him from trading with other races. He hid his elve ears behind his slightly ling hair. He grew a beard to attract some dwarves too.
Sadly, things did not go as he hoped. His business did not succeed. He was in debt and out of options. So one night he walked to the silent docks. All were asleep at this hour of the night. He sat behind a box and stared at the knife he had bought with the last of his coins. A knife to end his life. He had done the one thing he swore never to do. He sword never to be in poverty again. Where could he go from here too! If he went to his sister crying for help he would be viewed as weak. He would not show weakness to the elves nor his sister after they had shown only bravery toward him. When he was about to slide the smooth blade down his skin a young man spoke up. The sudden noise made Vale jump and hide the knife. A young man stood over his shoulder. The boys looks were not appealing in any way. He looked at him as Vale looked him back. The man then slid off the box to crouch. He said to Vale "So, what happened"
Vale looked strangely back at the man "Excuse me?"
"Aye you heard me. I see that knife you were gonna slit weren't you?" Said the man in reply
"Now listen what I was going to do is..." Vale was cut off
"Listen, if your gonna slit that is none of my business. If you wanna jump off this platform be my guest. Hell, you can even go bash your own head in I don't care I was just asking if you needed some help." The man said. Vale was dumbfounded and silent. He took the mans offering hand and was pulled to his feet. The man then said "Aye take this coin. It will buy you something to get you started." As he flipped him what looked like a little golden coin.
Vale thought of this as a second chance . Almost a revival from god. He began from start. He bought shops, a house, and started to become established. He became a notable salesman in the city and started to make plans of expansion. Plans of starting a empire. Not with armies and kingdoms and houses but with commerce. A nation of gold as he joked with his friends.
Ambitions for the Future: Vale wishes to get married, begin his "nation of gold", and maybe become somewhat lightly involved in politics
Personality: A savvy and crude trader Vale is honest in deals. His roots make him compassionate to the poor and good with being a opportunist and being very resourceful
Skills: Wealthy, Archery, and Trading
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):The appearance of Vale is altered because of his genetics too. He has elf ears and very tall but hides his ears from public as afraid of customer loss. His hair color is straight brown with no tints.

Open-Response-Questions Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.
____
1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?
Answer: Vale sees the man. He assumes that the man is trying to do something that may bring harm. The only problem is Vale is split. If he lets this go other people could get hurt. People that did not need get hurt and for what!?!? On the other hand Vale is not a person who likes the ideal of a birth right. He had to work for where and what he has gotten. These people have "birth rights" so they get to rule over us. Some are just loons! In a quick decision knwoing the man was going to do something at the palace he walked away as if nothing has heppend. There is no use in wasting his life and many others. Maybe that man will teach those slugs in the palace how to move. Maybe they can work on rebuilding "their" city.
2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?
Answer: After a long day of supervising the lumber mill and mine outside the city Vale takes a stroll. Stumbling upon the situation he thanks god the borrowed that iron longsword from one of his workers. He Quickly bounces behind a tree to listen to what is happening. He hears only yells. Vale does reconigze that he only has a sword. He is not accurate with a sword. He wishes he had he bow right now. If that was the case Vale would have walked into the situation. So instead he listened. He could not hear much. He did not inherit his mother's hearing but he did inheirt her sight and speed. So instead of taking a chance in which numbers did not favor him Vale simply used his stealth and spped to quickyl and quietly move further and further away. When he finally reached his mill and mine he took the long way back to town with guards on both sides.
3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).
Answer: When you wait in the line humble you finally reach the man. "Hello, how are your bows today?" Vale says.
"Well I only have one but it is expensive because of it's rarity." Said the man in almost a whisper.
"Well I am at no need for cash so please tell me of this bow and the cost." Said Vale almost eager to hear of a new bow. He had not had a good bow since when he lived with the elves for those many years.
"It is made by the elves and is as old as me!." This was surprising to vale as the man looked very old. Then again it could just be a very weird looking dwarf.
"I want to know your price though sir!" Said Vale like he was announcing it to the world.
"500 Minas!" Vale almost chocked on air
"3" Vale countered in a attempt to gain his breath back.
"4 and it's yours" said the merchant
It was a gamble for something that might not be real but Vale took the chance with it only being 400 "Deal!" Vale said proud to have earned the bow. Vale threw the man his money in a small coin purse and walked away staring at all the carvings in the bow.

In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is:
Meta-gaming is knowlegde you obtained OOC, and do not know IC, but you use it IC.

In-Character Details
Character Name: Anne Margret
Character Race: Female Human
Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary: Anne Margret is an eighteen year old looking for a adventerous, romantic, heart-pounding life. She trained with an Elven tutor when she was seven. She doesn't know where-or who- her parents were, because they were seperated when she was four. She lived on the streets before meeting her tutor three years later. The elf had to go back to Malinor, but left her with good clothes and a full pocket. She has had experince with other elves, and found most of them disdainful and rude. Anne is stubborn, but if you get to know her, she is loyal and kind. She always remembered the elve's kindness, and understands that the world can be a hard place. She takes pity on all homeless children, and shares knowlegde with them. Many a night she has gone hungry for the sake of a child. If you get lost in Oren, simply wander until you find a finely dressed, auburn-haired girl. She will lead you to a dirty-watered fountain, at which she can point you towards Grimmys Pub, the Dock's, or any place you wish to travel. Want to join the Shields but don't know where to go? Wait by the fountain until you see Anne. Anne, like said, won't take kindly to you if she sees that you mistreat anyone. In fact, if you mistreat someone and Anne sees it, and you need her help later, she will point you in the opposite direction. THis is one of her flaws. She is just too stubborn about what she belives in. Also, if she doesn't like you, it's no secret. Anne will flat out say something like, "You are unenjoyable company. I don't like the way you _____, and ______, or _______. Goodbye!"
This throws people off, and makes her less popular. That makes rumors, and the rumors make Anne a mystery. Not many know her dreams, or that her ambition is too become a renowned writer.
What are your characters ambitions?: Anne's ambition is to become a famous writer, in hope that her old tutor may see what his student became. She also, like said, wants an exiteing, romantic, heart-pounding adventure of a life. Anne has a faint desire to find her parents, but common sense says that it's a big, dangerous world, and they are either far, far away, or deceased.

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character:
She has orange hair, a very fine dress, and green eyes. The happier she is, the less gruff she speaks, and vice versa. If you make her want to draw a weapon, you’ll have a hard time understanding that she isn’t making animal noises, no, she’s speaking.
Open-Response-Questions
Each question here must be answered with a minimum of one full paragraph, and detail the scene you are given in the way it would happen in roleplay. These questions should be answered in first person. Be detailed, not short.Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response?
He looks like a kindly soul. There’s no fault sellin’ things were others don’t. I admire that he broke outta standardization. “Hey, sir!” *looks hopefull* “Yes “, miss?” “Ah, may I have three loaves of bread?” I pay no heed that there is a bakery down the path. *looks happy* “That’ll be six Mina.” *hands him a small pouch* “Thank you, sir.” “Anytime, miss!” *nods* “Oh, sir, can I have a dozen apples?” “Of course.” “Three Mina, miss.” *hands him three shining coins* “And please, call me Anne.” “Anne… that’s a fine name, miss. I am Antuan.” “Good to meet you, Antuan. If you happen to pass through Oren, that is my home city.” “I’ll keep it in mind, Anne.” “Farewell, Antuam! “Farewell, Anne.” You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?
He has no right to do that! Who does he think he is? Just ‘cause he’s big an’ strong, that give ‘em no good reason to be a big bully! ‘E probla’ don’t even know Arithmetic! “Hey, ya’ big bulla’ dere! Leave dat Dwarf lone! Right taway!” “Naw, he don’t gat an idea of who ta mess wit yet!” “Ya da one who don’t know who ta leave ‘lone! “Ohhhz. Da little human gonna mess with Derk too.” *scowls* “Ya just ta big bulla’! You couldn’t beat me up!” “Ohhhz, little girlz wants ta fight!” “Yea, I do!” *kicks the Dwarf* “I’ll be back for ya lata!” *swings arm at Anne* “Ohhhhhh…” *squirms away* *gets up* “Ya not gonna get da besta me, ya big, ugly, smella, bulla!” *kicks in gut* “Ow! Ya hurt, you little human!” *swings foot* *dodges* “Hey, big bulla!” Ya gone craza, Anne! “Come get me!” “Hey!” “Come on!” *runs off* “Ya get bak here, you little human!” “Derkz gonna get ya, one day!” Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?:
The poor man! *bends down* “Sir, are you all right?” “I-I am fine, thank ye.” *gathers up coins* “Here you go, sir.” *puts in pocket* “Tha-thank ye, girl.” Here, I have this stick.

Character Name: Anne Margret
Character Race: Female Human
Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary: Anne Margret is an eighteen year old looking for a adventerous, romantic, heart-pounding life. She trained with an Elven tutor when she was seven. She doesn't know where-or who- her parents were, because they were seperated when she was four. She lived on the streets before meeting her tutor three years later. The elf had to go back to Malinor, but left her with good clothes and a full pocket. She has had experince with other elves, and found most of them disdainful and rude. Anne is stubborn, but if you get to know her, she is loyal and kind. She always remembered the elve's kindness, and understands that the world can be a hard place. She takes pity on all homeless children, and shares knowlegde with them. Many a night she has gone hungry for the sake of a child. If you get lost in Oren, simply wander until you find a finely dressed, auburn-haired girl. She will lead you to a dirty-watered fountain, at which she can point you towards Grimmys Pub, the Dock's, or any place you wish to travel. Want to join the Shields but don't know where to go? Wait by the fountain until you see Anne. Anne, like said, won't take kindly to you if she sees that you mistreat anyone. In fact, if you mistreat someone and Anne sees it, and you need her help later, she will point you in the opposite direction. THis is one of her flaws. She is just too stubborn about what she belives in. Also, if she doesn't like you, it's no secret. Anne will flat out say something like, "You are unenjoyable company. I don't like the way you _____, and ______, or _______. Goodbye!"
This throws people off, and makes her less popular. That makes rumors, and the rumors make Anne a mystery. Not many know her dreams, or that her ambition is too become a renowned writer.
What are your characters ambitions?: Anne's ambition is to become a famous writer, in hope that her old tutor may see what his student became. She also, like said, wants an exiteing, romantic, heart-pounding adventure of a life. Anne has a faint desire to find her parents, but common sense says that it's a big, dangerous world, and they are either far, far away, or deceased.

These questions should be answered in first person. Be detailed, not short.Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response?
He looks like a kindly soul. There’s no fault sellin’ things were others don’t. I admire that he broke outta standardization. “Hey, sir!” *looks hopefull* “Yes “, miss?” “Ah, may I have three loaves of bread?” I pay no heed that there is a bakery down the path. *looks happy* “That’ll be six Mina.” *hands him a small pouch* “Thank you, sir.” “Anytime, miss!” *nods* “Oh, sir, can I have a dozen apples?” “Of course.” “Three Mina, miss.” *hands him three shining coins* “And please, call me Anne.” “Anne… that’s a fine name, miss. I am Antuan.” “Good to meet you, Antuan. If you happen to pass through Oren, that is my home city.” “I’ll keep it in mind, Anne.” “Farewell, Antuam! “Farewell, Anne.” You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?
He has no right to do that! Who does he think he is? Just ‘cause he’s big an’ strong, that give ‘em no good reason to be a big bully! ‘E probla’ don’t even know Arithmetic! “Hey, ya’ big bulla’ dere! Leave dat Dwarf lone! Right taway!” “Naw, he don’t gat an idea of who ta mess wit yet!” “Ya da one who don’t know who ta leave ‘lone! “Ohhhz. Da little human gonna mess with Derk too.” *scowls* “Ya just ta big bulla’! You couldn’t beat me up!” “Ohhhz, little girlz wants ta fight!” “Yea, I do!” *kicks the Dwarf* “I’ll be back for ya lata!” *swings arm at Anne* “Ohhhhhh…” *squirms away* *gets up* “Ya not gonna get da besta me, ya big, ugly, smella, bulla!” *kicks in gut* “Ow!

His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?:
The poor man! *bends down* “Sir, are you all right?” “I-I am fine, thank ye.” *gathers up coins* “Here you go, sir.” *puts in pocket* “Tha-thank ye, girl.” Here, I have this stick. It’s a drawing tool for the little ones in Oren, but I have a lot.” “Oh, thank ye!” “Sir, where are you headed?” “Oh, I am goin’ to O-oren!” “Ah, I’ll walk with you!

Each question here must be answered with a minimum of one full paragraph, and detail the scene you are given in the way it would happen in roleplay. These questions should be answered in first person. Be detailed, not short.Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response?
He looks like a kindly soul. There’s no fault sellin’ things were others don’t. I admire that he broke outta standardization. “Hey, sir!” *looks hopefull* “Yes “, miss?” “Ah, may I have three loaves of bread?” I pay no heed that there is a bakery down the path. *looks happy* “That’ll be six Mina.” *hands him a small pouch* “Thank you, sir.” “Anytime, miss!” *nods* “Oh, sir, can I have a dozen apples?” “Of course.” “Three Mina, miss.” *hands him three shining coins* “And please, call me Anne.” “Anne… that’s a fine name, miss. I am Antuan.” “Good to meet you, Antuan. If you happen to pass through Oren, that is my home city.” “I’ll keep it in mind, Anne.” “Farewell, Antuam! “Farewell, Anne.” You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?
He has no right to do that! Who does he think he is? Just ‘cause he’s big an’ strong, that give ‘em no good reason to be a big bully! ‘E probla’ don’t even know Arithmetic! “Hey, ya’ big bulla’ dere! Leave dat Dwarf lone! Right taway!” “Naw, he don’t gat an idea of who ta mess wit yet!” “Ya da one who don’t know who ta leave ‘lone! “Ohhhz. Da little human gonna mess with Derk too.” *scowls* “Ya just ta big bulla’! You couldn’t beat me up!” “Ohhhz, little girlz wants ta fight!” “Yea, I do!” *kicks the Dwarf* “I’ll be back for ya lata!” *swings arm at Anne* “Ohhhhhh…” *squirms away* *gets up* “Ya not gonna get da besta me, ya big, ugly, smella, bulla!” *kicks in gut* “Ow!

His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?:
The poor man! *bends down* “Sir, are you all right?” “I-I am fine, thank ye.” *gathers up coins* “Here you go, sir.” *puts in pocket* “Tha-thank ye, girl.” Here, I have this stick. It’s a drawing tool for the little ones in Oren, but I have a lot.” “Oh, thank ye!” “Sir, where are you headed?” “Oh, I am goin’ to O-oren!” “Ah, I’ll walk with you! That’s me home city!” “O-oh, what luck tha-that a good soul found me!” “Ah, it’s nothing, really.” “Th-the little things are the pleasures.” “True.” Memories. I didn’t have to help this man, tutor didn’t have to help me, this man probably helped someone HE didn’t have to. The little things, indeed. Out-Of-Character Details

Character Name: Anne Margret
Character Race: Female Human
Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary: Anne Margret is an eighteen year old looking for a adventerous, romantic, heart-pounding life. She trained with an Elven tutor when she was seven. She doesn't know where-or who- her parents were, because they were seperated when she was four. She lived on the streets before meeting her tutor three years later. The elf had to go back to Malinor, but left her with good clothes and a full pocket. She has had experince with other elves, and found most of them disdainful and rude. Anne is stubborn, but if you get to know her, she is loyal and kind. She always remembered the elve's kindness, and understands that the world can be a hard place. She takes pity on all homeless children, and shares knowlegde with them. Many a night she has gone hungry for the sake of a child. If you get lost in Oren, simply wander until you find a finely dressed, auburn-haired girl. She will lead you to a dirty-watered fountain, at which she can point you towards Grimmys Pub, the Dock's, or any place you wish to travel. Want to join the Shields but don't know where to go? Wait by the fountain until you see Anne. Anne, like said, won't take kindly to you if she sees that you mistreat anyone. In fact, if you mistreat someone and Anne sees it, and you need her help later, she will point you in the opposite direction. THis is one of her flaws. She is just too stubborn about what she belives in. Also, if she doesn't like you, it's no secret. Anne will flat out say something like, "You are unenjoyable company. I don't like the way you _____, and ______, or _______. Goodbye!"
This throws people off, and makes her less popular. That makes rumors, and the rumors make Anne a mystery. Not many know her dreams, or that her ambition is too become a renowned writer.
What are your characters ambitions?: Anne's ambition is to become a famous writer, in hope that her old tutor may see what his student became. She also, like said, wants an exiteing, romantic, heart-pounding adventure of a life. Anne has a faint desire to find her parents, but common sense says that it's a big, dangerous world, and they are either far, far away, or deceased.

*** Please note. This is my second application and is greatly improved from the first. I managed to fix every reason for denial, and rewrote EVERYTHING. I spent days writing a better bio. If you saw my first application, and now are reading this, once you finish reading this I'd love if you'd shoot me a PM telling me how much better I did and what I could improve on. If it's possible I'd love if Everblue could evaluate my app, obviously this is just a hope, if you're not everblue, don't worry! Carry on, app team, accept or deny me.

What previous experience have you had in role-playing?: I have been on a different (and much smaller) roleplaying server for about a year and 3 months. The name of it is Direworld if you would like to check it out. It has been very inactive recently, so I've been searching for a new server.
How did you hear about the the Lord of the Craft?: After searching for a new server, I gave up for a while. About a week ago, I searched again, and look who I found. Then I applied the first time, now I am applying a second time.
Link any applications that you have previously made for the server: http://www.lordofthe...lf/#entry685360
Have you posted this application on the Minecraft Forum? If not, then please do so (link above): Once I finish copying this down from my word document, I will head over there.d
Have you read the Elven lore, and shall you ensure you make use of it and follow it in your biography?: I have read, and I have made use of the elven lore.
Definitions In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:
Role-playing: Roleplaying is the art of getting away from your life, because it is usually quite stressful. So, where do you go to get away from your life? You do, in fact, go in to someone else’s life. This person I mentioned, you have created them, and you shaped and molded them with your bare hands, not caring that you got dirty. The person you make can be: Black, white, green, blue, tall, short, fat, skinny, smart, dumb, and anything else you could ever dream of thinking up in that tiny little machine, the brain, that barely fills this space we call the universe. This person does what IT wants to do, yet it is not living. You control him, but you are NOT him. He goes where he wants to go, but he can’t do it without you. Where this person dwells, it’s another huge universe! That universe is inside of our big universe! No matter if that universe is inside a 3 person chatroom, or a 1,000 player Roleplaying server on WoW. They can live from the Plains of Kalagdor, to the Sandy Shores of Kysar, to Middle Earth and Mordor, or to Aegis and Asulon. It doesn’t matter the circumstances, just that you aren’t yourself anymore. In short, roleplaying is just taking on the role of a character, and acting like them. It can be in drama class, or a minecraft server, doesn’t matter.
Meta-gaming: Summarized: Meta gaming is using OOC knowledge while in character. This is cheating because your character is NOT you! (As previously stated above) Your character does not know about milkshakes (They don’t know what they’re missing!!!), or space ships, earth, computers, minecraft, pixels, anything here in OUR world. He only knows the beasts and plants of Asulon. (Unless he was unfortunate and spent his whole life in a dungeon from the time he was a baby. But…that would be very unfortunate, and who would RP as a guy who had no idea about anything?) Here are some examples: *Bob is being beaten in a backalley of Arethor, during the night. No guards are present* *Bob /tells Jason: Arethor, getting roughed up behind the tavern by *insert cliché name like XxShadowxKnightxX* and *again** *Jason /tells Bob Dang dude, be right over, I’ll grab a friend. We’ll act like we don’t know you’re there and then we’ll notice you.
(Don’t worry, they’re just WANDERING THE FREAKING STREETS OF A LARGE HUMAN CITY AT NIGHT BUT WE’LL SPOT
YOU BEING ROUGHED UP) Pretty lame, right? This is something in my experience I have seen happen fairly often. A couple times I’ve partaken in it,
but after a while I realized this was in fact METAGAMING. Here we have another example:
(NOW WITH LOTR NAMES! HOORAY!) *Legolas just built his secret hut for his potion experiments as his evil alchemist character* *Legolas /tells/skypes/texts Boromir: Hey dude, finished my alchemy shack, 102, 23, 45. Come check it out OOC sometime.
P.S. watch out for Orcish armies firing heavy bows at your chest while you’re defending a tiny Halfling with a
freaking ring that can rule the world. BUT NO PRESSURE * *Boromir replies: No problem dude, be over sometime. I will watch out, no promises on beating them though.
If I die will you slay a GIGANTIC FREAKING OLIPHANT (If you haven’t seen LotR (You better have) it’s a huge eliphant)
FOR ME !?* *Later that day Boromir goes and tells the guards that he has the location of an evil alchemist’s base of operations* Oh Boromir, you’ll get banned at that rate, your character doesn’t know about the location…
Power-emoting: Powergaming is allowing yourself to win no matter what. Examples will do greater good to show what this means. Powergaming is forcing RP acts upon players, without a chance for them to block, counter, or dodge, or even respond. This can either be through just a conversation, or a battle. Examples: (MORE LOTR NAMES!)
Sauron_The_Great: Hey Gandalf can I borrow some money? *Gandalf gives him some minas* Gandalf_The_White: ((Seriously Sauron? I didn’t give you any minas…
Even if Sauron with his ring had the power to rule all of Middle Earth, he still can’t give money to himself like that.
He lost a gold star from that. What a shame, see, powergaming isn’t worth it. Another Example: (LotR Names…again.) *Frodo, and Gollum are fighting over the ring like little girls in the Misty Mountains*
Frodo_The_Halfling: *slicing open Gollum’s neck with this weird glowing blue sword I got from an old dude and taking the ring* Gollum__XxPrecioussssxX: ((That powergaming made me want to jump into Mt. Doom master… you’re a disgrace to Precious.
Even if Frodo succeeded in what Isildor failed to do, he can’t make someone’s neck cut open without their permission.
Now let’s play spot the error!(Normal Names Now) *Faendel fires an arrow at the charging orc, aiming for the weak point on the charging Orc’s pauldron* *Malrog bashes the arrow aside, then slices open the tiny elf’s neck*
Did you find it? Faendel shot a perfectly good arrow, not saying it hit, but saying where he aimed on the Orc,
so the Orc would know how to counter it. The orc did counter right, but he still powergamed by slicing the elf’s neck open.
Simply by adding attempts to most attacks and where they aim can fix many fights. Finally,
I will now give you a good example of an RP fight. Arceus_The_Huntress: *from a hidden point in a low tree, she fires a silent arrow at the impending danger, a human bandit,
clearly looking for someone to attack* Cain_The_Wanted: *The arrow is unlucky and hits a heavily layered armored pauldron, rendering the shot useless,
only making him stumble and leaving hopeful sound trail of where he heard the arrow coming from* This is good. Arceus did not force where the arrow hit even if it did hit. And Cain didn’t know exactly where the
arrow had come from, but he had a direction. He does not know where the arrow was shot from(Just its direction),
because with the skill of that wood elf, she could be anywhere from 2 yards to 150 yards.
In-Character Information: Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Amicus Adrianne
Current Age: 41
Sub-race (if any): Wood Elf
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
In the world of Asulon, in the depths of Malinor, hidden in The Elder Tree City of Normandor, there existed one body. Physically it was two bodies, but the two beautiful creatures might have well been one. These two were a middle class couple, living happy and healthy. Their abode swung and swayed as it hung hundreds of feet above the water, but it wouldn’t break any time soon. They admired the Great Elf Bravepaw, who created their home, who knew how to escape the unrelenting clutches of the void itself. Their names were Ita-istar and Taur’ohtar.
The two’s cypress wood hanging house was an architectural wonder, just like the rest of Normandor. It was small, but functional. They created this when they were 63, a fairly young couple. And they got it for a good price, too.Ita-istar was an illusionist, practicing illusion magic and studying it. Taur’ohtar was a ranger, she would often go hunting and tracking.
On one cool Sabet morning, Ita-istar and Taur’ohtar were getting ready for their day. As they were getting dressed Ita-istar’s face flushed. “What is it, love?”, worried Taur’ohtar. It took Ita-istar minutes to reply, but Taur’ohtar patiently waited. “Your stomach, it’s out, you’re pregnant.” Taur’ohtar looked down and then walked over to Ita-istar and sat by him, “My love, don’t be sad, worried, or scared. We’ll do this together, and we won’t give it up. That’s not like us.” Ita’istar kissed her cheek, “You’re right, we will take responsibility of this child.” They continued their day with the matter settled.
The swaying ornament swung like any other day, but on the 27th day of The Snow’s Maiden, Taur’ohtar brought fourth a green eyed male elf. That snowy seed, the boy always smiled. His name was Amicus. In the human tongue, it simply meant ‘Friend’. He was a clever child, always sneaking off in his youth. His parents were much too wise to let him sneak around for more than half of a day. Yet time and time again, he snuck out. His parents simply smiled at this curious child’s habits. He was 13 and he continued to sneak out. His parents always thought he wanted to roam the city, and that’s why he snuck out. Secretly at least once every week, most commonly on Sabet, Amicus snuck off to a beautiful young wood elf that he often crossed paths with in stores. Her name was Vallei’Leyun (Used one of the guides on the forums for elven names).
The two Wood Elves were only born 2 seeds apart. Amicus was the younger of the two. They always met on a specific branch in the Elder Tree, and would just talk, about literally anything. They could talk about their family life, what they loved, what they hated, what they wished, what they had. The two were in love. (in love for 13-14 year olds) Vallei loved his height, his brown hair, and those pale green eyes. Amicus adored her beauty, and her piercing silver eyes. One night Ita-istar stayed up late for his work, and caught Amicus sneaking out. He followed him silently, his feet making no noise on the sturdy paths of the tree. When he saw Amicus meet with Vallei, Amicus knelt down on one knee, took Vallei’s hand, and pressed his lips on it, his heart melted. His son was everything he had hoped for. What he had hoped for was that he would respect females, and see them as beautiful things in this world.
As Ita-istar walked back on a branch to their home, he looked up, and saw the two up on that branch, looking at the stars. That night Amicus didn’t come back, up there they fell asleep, hand in hand, awed by the beauty of those stars. Amicus’ father told his mother and she smiled with pride.
For 9 years Amicus had been sneaking out, thinking his parents didn’t know about his secret. But on the 14th day that the Sun was smiling, Amicus and Vallei were ripped apart by fate. On one of those special nights, they looked at eachother and nothing felt special, an unknown force broke their connection. They got up and both said to eachother, “Van’ayla. It was good while it lasted.” They both had wisdom, even if they were only 19, they were able to accept that fate sealed this, and they moved on with minimal heartbreak.
After that incident Amicus began training in weaponry, kick-started in archery as a child by his father. He went to the armory, and a berr shone bright like the light of the Elder Seed in his eyes. He approached the clerk, pointed to the berr, asking how much. The clerk looked up, “Ah, a beauty that one is. I can take 600 minas, and that’s a bargain. Handcrafted by one of the great bowyers of Normandor. It is made from a large maple sapling, and backed with bamboo.” Amicus cringed slightly at the word beauty, (LEYUN IS THE END HALF OF VALLEI’S NAME. LEYUN MEANS BEAUTY) but pulled out his whole coin purse and counted his savings that he had earned from his whole life. He counted 625. “The bow would last him a lifetime”, he thought as he handed over 600 minas.
Daily he trained with the berr, becoming a good shot with it. At the age of 20 he began learning the trade of being a hunter. He was an apprentice to an inept hunter, who taught him all his knowledge. After Amicus had learned to hunt swift and silent, the man, Proventus, taught him how to sell the meat and live off of that money. Only after all of that teaching, which took about one season, was he allowed to hunt for real. Proventus had to take him the first many times, to make sure he prayed to the one Creator thanking him for the blessing of animals, after he took one down. They hunted together for 2 seasons, overall his apprenticeship occupied a little less than 3 seasons.
When Amicus was 28 years of age, he hunted on his own, and boy he was good. He opened up shop in Normandor, and since Proventus was well into his years, he retired, leaving Amicus to be the popular meat shop, also selling arrows, and a few berrs.
A warm Kamees in the Second Seed, Amicus was cleaning an arrow behind his desk from a recent hunt, splattering a little blood on his business ledger, “Woops”. He took the pipe out of his mouth and blew a smoke ring into the ceiling and watched as it just broke into two smaller ones. He’d been practicing that for about 10 minutes. He had gotten quite good at it. A kind feminine voice spoke softly, “That was a good one, Amicus.” Amicus looked up, “Indeed,” he was staring into the beautiful face of Vallei’Leyun, who had been standing there the whole time he started practicing the rings. Memories came back, that he had almost forgotten. Vallei had also become a hunter, as indicated by her quiver full of arrows. She walked into his office in a small backroom, and sat in the chair in front of his desk. Amicus was still curiously watching, “Speak, friend,” Vallei smiled warmly, “I confess, you are the better hunter, and if I open up shop, I will not have many customers, and I will become low. The only way I’ll make a living from this is if we do this shop together.” Amicus raised his brow in surprise, “Well…*Long Silence*…I suppose I’ve needed someone else here, gets lonely, very well. But we still have no courtship. Welcome to the shop.”
4 seasons passed and they were still running that shop. At 38 Amicus brought Vallei into the office and spoke, “It’s time I leave this city and experience the world for everything it has. You now get to have all the profits of this shop. You run it, you do whatever it is you want to do with this place. It was great having a business partner. Van’ayla, you beautiful mali.” “Van’ayla,” Vallei softly spoke. She kissed him on the cheek and told him, “I’ll take care of the place.” With that he took his already packed things, and ventured into the wilds.
For a whole Fortday Amicus walked through the wilds, hunting as he went. He discovered a clearing in the dense wilds, and set up a sleeping position in a tree. During the night he awoke to a slight shaking in the tree. He wasn’t the only thing in this tree, more importantly he wasn’t the only one in this tree.
He saw a concealed figure in the tree, that didn’t seem to notice him. He silently stood and whispered through the wind to him, “Peace, friend.” The hooded man turned, and Amicus noticed the marking of a Ranger of the Forest on his neck, “Citizen, I don’t trust just anyone in these wilds *pulling out a shortsword*, but you seem remarkably sincere, and without fear, by my eyes and your circumstances, I’d assume you were sleeping in this tree. *Putting away the sword and extending his hand* I’m Gideon Marsh. (Since this was on their guild page I figured it would be okay to use his name, if not just *insert ranger name*). I am a ran-“ Amicus interrupted him, “Ranger of the Forest, yes I know, I saw your mark.” Gideon smirked, “Clever man, no ordinary citizen would notice such a small detail. Now I would advise you to carry on sleeping or leave the area. We have a line of scouts following a group of bandits on their way to the Oren roads. And I don’t believe I caught your name?” Amicus smirked, “I am Amicus, Hunter of Normandor. Now, do you know these bandits are a danger? I’d be willing to test how clever they are.” Gideon frowned, “We can’t ask citizens to put their neck out like that. But if you really are interested, they should come through this clearing in an hour.” Amicus solemly replied, “I’m no citizen. I’ll be waiting for them, but I assume you and other rangers will be watching this clearing anyway if something were to happen.” Gideon nodded and then melted into the tree.
Amicus went to the middle of the clearing, started a fire, and began to make a shelter, something any unwise person would do in the wilds. Bandit-bait, is what he was imitating. By the time the bandits came into the clearing, Amicus’ mock camp was set. As he looked in the trees, his eyes had been trained for rangers after seeing the first one, he saw their glimmering eyes in the firelight around the clearing, he counted 10 but he knew there existed more, the more skilled in concealment were not seen by Amicus.
The bandits came into the clearing and seeing the small-framed elf, the leader pointed, “Easy kill boys, take him.” Amicus stood with a surprised face and analyzed the group silently. He counted 3 orcs, and 2 humans, they all wore animal hides as armor. Amicus took all of his weapons off of him so he ran to the edge of the clearing and began to clamber up a tree like an amateur. The orcs were unable to climb the tree, and the humans weren’t going to risk falling back down. Amicus leaped out of the tree, and began running across the clearing again, this time tripping on purpose. The group of 4 bandits made a wide circle around him as the leader slowly advanced. Amicus stood up, and threw the biggest rock he could find at the leader, but this was a very small rock. The orc roared with laughter as it harmlessly bounced off of him. Amicus still hadn’t determined how proficient these bandits were, so he let the leader take a swing with his large battleaxe. Amicus easily ducked under, he observed an awful form, and a slow swing. As the orc took another swing the axe was knocked out of the orc’s hand after an arrow hit the orc’s hand.
Amicus gained his former posture, sprinted to his weapons, grabbed his berr and nocked an arrow as he heard arrows all around the clearing nock on strings. The orc was enraged at the arrow and let out a blood-curdling yell. Amicus drew back the bow and aimed it at the leader, “You’re not making it to the Oren Road so soon.” Amicus heard a whistle from the ring of the clearing and Gideon was calling him to the line of rangers that had formed at the edge of the clearing. All of them had their bows drawn. One of the orcs looked at Amicus and grunted, “Why would you back to the edge when you have no one to protect you?” The bandits were unable to see the rangers, for they blended in so well. Amicus simply asserted, “One man at the edge of a clearing can’t shoot all these arrows.” The orc cocked its head, “Arrows? What arro-“ All of the rangers and Amicus simultaneously released their arrow, each bandit having 3 arrows in it, except the leader, with 4, one extra from Amicus. They all fell to the ground dead. The rangers silently disappeared into the wilds, except Gideon, who spoke to Amicus, “Friend, that was some nice work. You helped to saved many people on the Oren road tonight, go in peace.” He too, disappeared into the wilds without a trace.
On Red Rose Day, Amicus had figured out where it was happening at his common visits to Arethor, and went to the location of the festival (I understand Red Rose Day is not in a specific place, but I would like to think that there has to be some place where they celebrate it in big numbers where everybody can see your special person. On its page it does not specify where well.). Amicus knew why he wanted to go, and on his way there, he picked a beautiful rose, and carried it. When he got there he saw the festival in a clearing, and as suspected, he spotted a tree with a figure in it. Amicus approached the tree in a hooded cloak, holding the rose up to the figure. Who took it, and jumped down looking at the back of the cloak. “Amicus, I knew it was you,” Vallei remarked. Amicus turned and laughed, “Why do you have to make such snide remarks Vallei, just because we had young love but nothing now doesn’t mean you’re not important to me. I mean come on! You helped me make my living! It doesn’t mean you’re my beloved, it just means you mean something to me. Van’ayla, Vallei” “Van’ayla Amicus.”
Amicus was 40 years of age on that Red Rose Day. Amicus is now 41 and now has a longing to begin a life with a woman, and live somewhere other than the wilds.
Ambitions for the Future: Amicus’ambitions are to stay an independent man(independent doesn’t mean he doesn’t
like women, it means he wants to depend on himself alone. Himself would include
his lady friend, because when people are in courtship or married, they are
practically one.), find a woman to love, establish a life that is not in a big
city, keep his roots in Malinor with his family, and visit his family and
brother at least yearly. He wants to do good in the world but does not enjoy
recognition for good deeds.
Personality: Amicus is a kind hearted elf. Although his attire seems to show otherwise, he has a good heart and wants the best. He always tries to keep peace, but when there's an aggressor there's no time to 'talk it out'. He's a mellow guy, serious when he needs to be. Occasionally he makes humorous remarks, but he's not a comedian. He always tries to be friendly when he first meets someone, in case they're going through something and they're sad.
So essentially: Lawful Good
Skills: Amicus is a proficient hunter, practicing by actually hunting, or just setting up targets, he prefers a recurve berr that he bought in his young days. He also has his eyes trained from living in the wild for a season or two. In his days in the wild he taught himself his own fighting style with a hunting knife. This is so that if he was unlucky enough to not get his bow out, he had at least some alternative. If there were stats, they would go something like this:(Out of 20)
Archery: 18 (Hunting Training and His Father taught him a little)
Hunting Knife: 12 (Years in the Wild)
Agility: 20 (Wood Elves are Very Agile as said on many of the elven pages)
Stealth: 18 (Hunting Training)
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Back View: Front View:
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 140 pounds (he is thin, not skinny, with toned, not bulk muscles)
Hair: Silk Brunette Hair down to his collar
Eyes: Pale green eyes that seem to look farther than the heavens themselves
Skin: His skin is a dark caramel color
Ears: They are about 1.5 inches taller than average human ears. AND OF COURSE THEY ARE POINTY.
Commonly wears a dark green cloak and a tan tunic under it. He wears thin leather pauldrons and that's his only armor, other than fingerless gloves and boots (Both Leather)

Open-Response-Questions Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.
____
1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react?
Answer: *As I enter into the province of Malinor I see a group of High Elves mocking a Wood Elf Child for trying to climb a large tree that is much too large for his size*
*I approach the group of High Elves, immediately trying to speak first, to gain the jump in a possible debate* "Friends, is he not your brother as much as I am? We are all elves in our homeland, treat them with respect. You don't see humans making fun of halflings for not living in two story houses do you? We are the oldest and wisest of the race, shouldn't we start acting like it?"
*The High Elves stare blankly at me, feeling beaten* "Wood Elf. You are wise although you look young. Continue in that."
*The group proceeds to stop mocking the child and walk away*
*The small child yells a quick thanks to me, and then tries climbing the tree, which he succeeds without the mocking of the group*
I speak to him while I have the chance, "Child...if you can be anything...never be anything like that. It is not necessary, even if it has happened to you.
2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?
Answer: *I am walking to Malinor, through the forest, and then I see an elderly human, with a creaking walking stick, the man falls to the ground. As the man falls a bag of minas spills quickly onto the ground.*
*I’d run up to the spilled minas, and I’d fill it in a new burlap sack that I had on me. I set this at the man’s hand, then run off to the woods to find a new and more able walking stick.*
*The elderly man manages to get on his hands and knees, and secure the new bag of minas. He doesn't trust the old creaky stick anymore*
“Oh come on, there’s got to be a hardy sapling around here, these are the forests close to Malinor!” *I speak to my self as I set my eyes upon a hardy sapling. I pull it out of the ground and take out any knots and twigs on it, and wrapping the last of my leather as a handle on it. I sprint back to the road*
*The man is leaning against a tree, clutching onto it to keep himself from falling down, ignoring the walking stick on the ground* “Oh…thank goodness, I thought you’d left me without a new walking stick! That's what made me fall!”
*I kneel offering it to him*
“Thank you, elf. I can’t walk without it. This sure is a beauty.*
I speak back to him, “Indeed, was lucky enough to find it in some brush about 50 yards from here. Stay safe on your travels.”
*The man briefly nods as I continue on the trail back to Malinor*
3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).
Answer: *I jog over, arrows seated in my quiver.*
Trader: *A male human smiles wide* "Finally someone comes across this clearing! It seems that this path has been widely avoided recently! But I will worry no more, for at least one person has come, leading me to believe there has got to be more people coming eventually. As I was saying, I have many things, many things, clothes, armor, bindings, hammers, bellows, leather, feathers, and eve-*Amicus Interrupts him*
"Feathers? I need some replacements, let me see them?"
Trader: "Sure thing, I'll just need to go get them" *Goes and rummages through the back of the carriage*
*I open the small pack that I keep feathers in, and there is one feather*
Trader: *He comes out with a small sack and opens it showing it to me*
*I reach inside pulling out a handful. Success. Every one of them is black and white* "So how much for each"
Trader: "It is 30 minas for 50 feathers"
*I put on a thoughtful expression, then begins the reverse-lowballing process* "How about 5 minas for 50?"
Trader: *Smiles* "How about no?"
*I silently smile in my thoughts. Now to get a halfway deal* "I think we can meet halfway. Let's go 20. Last offer."
Trader: "Deal. 20 minas." *Hands over the sack with 50 black and white feathers in it*
*I smile counting out and handing him 21 minas and emptying the sack of feathers into my pack* "Have a great day. I'll be back sometime. *Walks out of the clearing happy with the deal he managed to take*
Trader: *Waves* Please come back!
**A note on lowballing. Lowballing is originally when you're the seller. You offer a low price, and then raise it. The person has already committed to wanting the item at a low price so they buy it. Reversing it is when you are buying something, you want something for a low price you know they won't give you, and then you raise it in between, the low price makes it seem better.
**If you liked it I'd love if you'd shoot me a PM!

In-Character Details
Character Name: Telgur
Character Race: Elf
Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary: Telgur is a Wood Elf who has brown hair and eyes, and always wore a hood to cover the giant scar at the back of his neck. He was born in a very small village with only 13 people in it, he was always training with his father to become the best archer that he could. When he was 15 years old he became an exceptional shot with a bow and could very well defend his village from bandit attacks.
During a raid, Telgur was caught and captured and he was shackled to a wall, he used rocks to file his shackles off and he had to sneak out without the bandits knowing. There was a broken path which was not guarded; he had to jump from stone to stone with such grace and elegance. On the last stone he cleared the jump but three bandits were coming back from a raid on a camp, the bandits turn and saw Telgur they tried to slash him with their swords. Telgur rolled out of the way but one of the bandits took one last slash before Telgur started to sprint and cut him deeply on the back of his neck. On his return back to his village Telgur was greeted warmly by his family and friends, later that night he thought “If I could escape from a bandit prison at this age, I think I’ll be fine as an adventurer”. On that thought, two weeks later Telgur said his goodbyes, packed his precious bow that his father made him when he was young, and a fine sharpened iron sword and some food and torches for the journey.

Open-Response-Questions
Each question here must be answered with a minimum of one full paragraph, and detail the scene you are given in the way it would happen in roleplay. These questions should be answered in first person. Be detailed, not short.
Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response? “Hello kind sir” I say softly to the dwarf. “Ello’ sir, may I interest you in any of these items I have?” The dwarf says excitedly, showing a bow, stone sword and pickaxe along with some iron ingots and coal. “Hmm let’s see what you have here.” I say interested. “How many minas would it cost for the bow and 5 pieces of coal?” I say still looking at the items. “54 minas for all of the items together, but I would greatly appreciate it if you threw in a few extra minas so that I could stay at the inn tonight” The dwarf says with a happy expression on his face. “Okay, for you kind sir, I’ll give you 60 minas for your finely crafted bow and coal” I say with a little feeling of selflessness. “Oh my, thank you ever so kind, kind sir!” The dwarf says very excitedly. “No problem friend, I hope you can get a home in the city very soon.” I say while walking down the street.
You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do? “Stop! What are you doing to this poor man?” I say shouting. “Dis man not be paying me my minas” The Orc says while holding the dwarf by his collar. “How much did this man owe you?” I say looking in my pocket. “40, no, uhhhhhh I think 54 minas dis dwarf owed me.” The Orc says lowering the dwarf to the ground. “I would gladly pay off this man’s debt if you let him go this instant.” I say with the minas in my hand. “Oh! Mokay I let dis man go!” The Orc says staring deeply into my hand. “Here take them.” I say tossing the minas in front of him. “Are you alright?” I say taking the dwarf away from the Orc. “Yes, thank you very much for helping me out there, I just didn’t have enough. Here take 10 minas from me as my repayment, it’s all I have that I can give away.” The dwarf says extending his arm out with the minas in his hand. “Thank you, try to be more careful when making deals with some Orcs, they can be very dangerous at times.” I say taking the minas from the dwarfs hand and walking away after that.
Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?: “Are you alright?!” I say running quickly over to the old man’s aid. “Ahh I think I hurt my legs but I’ll be fine if I can get a new walking stick” The man says as I guide him to sit down and scoop up his minas back in his bag, handing it to him. “I think I can get you a new one just sit here and wait for a few minutes as I find some logs” I say looking around for trees, finding a good one and chopping it down. I bring the log back to where the man is sitting. ”Here I think I found a sturdy piece of log for a new walking stick” I say taking out a knife and carving it down. “Oh my, thank you very much I appreciate your kindness in helping an old man” The man says with a big smile on his face. “Okay, I think it’s just about done” I say doing the finishing touches on the walking stick and handing to the man. He takes it from me and begins walking down the road again.

[b]1.As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering.Upon inspection you realize that a group of HighElves are mocking a small WoodElf child.Howdo you react?[/b]
Answer: -Olaris clenches her fists- "This is outrages!" -she thought angrily, knowing the child's pain. Although she is Outgoing, she wouldn't dare too run into a fight without thinking it through, calmly raising her bow, not too kill just to warn. Olaris shoots the dirty ground, covered in muck; beside one of the High Elves feet. The elves glance at Olaris, she could tell, they were afraid- "Leave the Child alone..." -Olaris said with a proud voice, striking fear into them, they quickly scurry away- "Now.." -Olaris thought, as she walked too the Child, petting him/her on the head gently- "You're safe... go" -Olaris whispered, sending the child off- [b]2.Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick.He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud.Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway.The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?[/b]
Answer: -Olaris walked over too the man, looking down at him with a frown; She might hate people but, what's the point of stealing a frail man's money? Their is nothing to prove- "You need some help?" -Olaris said dumbly, of course he needed help, extending her hand, he grasped for it, she pulled him up slowly, making sure not to hurt him... much. After he was standing up, shaking a bit from the fall, Olaris crouches down, picking up the gold coins, piece by piece, dropping them into the brown pouch before raising it too the man- "Here you go... be careful next time" -Olaris muttered, she watched as the man scurried off along the path-
[b]3.Whilst traversing the ElvenWoodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares.He points out that his carriage sells just about everything,and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).[/b]
Answer: "Hey, a pretty lookin' elf like you knows a bargain when she see's one, eh?" -He announced with joy, despite Olaris' hatred for merchants and their pathetic advertisements, she needed some bread and more arrows- "I need some White Bread, and..." -she paused for a moment, counting the amount of bows she had already used, 54 was the amount she counted- "Uh... 64 arrows, just too be safe" -said Olaris, looking at him curiously- "Hahah, The loaf of bread will be 10 gold, while the 64 arrows will be 70!" -the merchant smirked while saying so, knowing that they were over priced, well so did Olaris!- "How about 50 gold coins for the arrows, that's the normal price for them!" -Olaris said smugly, the merchant peered curiously at her- "50? Out here in the forest? You'll be lucky too find another merchant out here" -The merchant replied, believing he one the battle, not yet though...- "You'll also be lucky to find another customer... so no, 50" -replied Olaris smartly, the merchant sighed and nodded- "50 gold coins it is then m'lady...." -he glares at her, merchants ALWAYS hate putting down the price, it means less money- "Alright!" -Olaris gave the man 60 gold coin, going on her way, munching on the bread-

Full Name: Darin Tiller
Current Age: 23
Sub-race (if any):
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): I was born the second youngest into a large family, so I did not have a lot of attention growing up. My parents owned a tavern, and us kids were always working in it. I hated it, not because I did not like working (although that was not great either), but because my older brother was a complete jerk to me all the time. He made me do his work, beat me up, that sort of thing. When I was about ten, I started fighting back, and we would both get into trouble and have to do extra work. Later, he left to get work of his own. I was relieved, but he soon came back to work for our parents, failing to find other work.
The next major thing that happened in my life was our town getting raided by a group of bandits. I got separated from everyone, and a bandit was approaching me. He was trying to get me to tell him where my family kept our money, and when I wouldn't, (not for lack of want, but because I was too scared to think straight) he was about to kill me, but my brother came in and saved my life. We found the rest of the family hiding behind our tavern, and we ran away. We came back after a day and the bandits were gone. Only one person had been killed, and they didn't take much, but several buildings had been burned, including our tavern. I could not stay there, so I left, hoping to become a farmer in another village somewhere.
Ambitions for the Future:[/b] To become a successful farmer, and make a decent living.
Personality:[/b] I am cowardly, but I try to do the right thing, if it is not too scary.
Skills:[/b] Cleaning, lifting
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):[/b] Brown eyes, brown hair, mustache, beard (skin attached)
Any other details you wish to share about your character:[/b] None
[b]Open-Response-Questions[/b]
[i]Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.[/i]
____
[b]1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b]
Answer: I walk up to the guards, trying hard not to draw attention to myself. I tell them about the man in question, and point him out, "Do you see that guy?" I ask quietly, "I think he is trying to steal something." If they believe me, I continue walking past them. if they do not, I walk past the shady character and "accidentally" bump into him, trying to annoy/provoke him to do something. If that fails, I shout "Fire!" to try and disrupt whatever he is doing.
[b]2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]
Answer: I hide behind a tree and say, "I wouldn't do that if I were you." in a spooky voice. When the bandits come to investigate, I run away as fast as I can, yelling/taunting the bandits, hoping their heavy equipment tires them. If they don't chase me, I keep running. I don't need to do anything more risky than that.
[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]
Answer: I try to get some food cheaply, suggesting a very low price, and when he doesn't go for it, I offer double the initial price. When he asks for more than that, I refuse, and inquire about farming/gardening equipment, and ask him what he wants for it. I offer him a bit less then that and he accepts. I go back to the food topic, hoping he might be willing to go for my offer now, and if he doesn't, I give him more.

You can see he is dirty and looks poor. " I'm just trying to sell goods. Please do not report me!" whispers the Dwarf. "Why would i do that?" As I look at the wall in the background I see a Wanted Sign with a Dwarf identical to the one I'm talking to. "Your wanted!" I say. "Yes please sir. Do not alert the guards." A guard walks by and notices him and pushes me aside and pulls out a Sword. I backhand him and grab his sword. "Lets go friend!" I say. As we run out of the city we are pursued by Knights. "Why are you doing this for me?" he asks. " I do not like Humans, Dwarf its the least I can do." I pull off my hood. He sees that I'm a Orc. He is Shocked. "Don't worry I have nothing against Dwarfs." He is more relaxed now. As we stumble into the dark woods the knights stop the pursuit. "You are fine now Dwarf. Flee back to your land." He looks at me "What is your name?" he asks. I say "Scrream." as i walk away.[/color]

It seems to be the same Dwarf I saved from Arethor. I walk up to the Orc and ask what his business is. He looks at me and asks "What is it to you! This maggot stole a bag of feed from my home." he says. I look at the Dwarf it is the same one from Arethor! I grab the Dwarf and say. " I told you to run to your land not into Orc territory! Idiotic Dwarf! You have gotten into a mess." I yell. The Orc takes out his sword and Kills the Dwarf. "No!, why did you kill him Orc!" I demand. "I said he stole from me. Back down before the same happens to you!" I take out my sword. He can tell that i'm more fit then he is. "Backdown? Haha. Who do you take me for whelp! I am Scrream. your future king! It is time for your demise!" A single slash cuts his arm off. " Is that enough or shall I take your soul also?" He squirms away slowly. "Please stop! I will leave." I pass him 1 Gold Coin. "That should cover the Feed. Next time I would think before I draw a Sword. I leave while the Orc runs home. I know he will come back with more Orcs so I vanish into the Night. [/color]

I realized that this man might have knowledge of a Near by Human Camp, or Town. "Do you know anything of a Camp, or village of some sort?" I ask. "Yes, a decent ways south. Follow the path and you should get there very soon. Why didn't you take my coin and flee?" he says. "Knowledge is power. Not currency. You seemed to have known something, thank you." I explain. "What is stopping you from taking my money now?" he asks. I look at him. "If i wanted to take your money I would of already. Count your blessings Elder. Now leave I seen a pack of bandits on the way here. Head back to your town." I say. "Thank you again." says the man. As we leave I hear a Wolf. I wonder if the man will make it back.

Definitions In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:
Role-playing:Role-playing refers to the changing of one's behaviour to assume a role, normally a made up character. Metagaming: Describes any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends a prescribed ruleset, uses external factors to affect the game.In simple terms, it is the use of out-of-game information or resources to affect one's in-game decisions. Power-emoting: Power-emoting or god-emoting is an act of forcing the result of one's actions on another character, typically without the other player's consent and not giving the other character a chance to do anything about the emote. For instance, "Player1 kills Player2", "Player1 hits Player2" and "Player1 steals X gold from Player2" are all power-emotes.
Power-emoting is heavily frowned upon in most roleplaying communities, since it takes the freedom of action away from the player being emoted on. The typical solution for this issue is to emote attempts instead of finished actions. For example, typing "Player1 tries to stab Player2 in the chest with his sword" will give Player2 a chance to dodge or parry the blow. In-Character Information:: Full Name: Robert Eddard Arryn Current Age:19 Sub-race (if any): Northern Human Past /History(include childhood, major-events, etc.2+ paragraphs long): Robert is the son of a renowned builder of King Godfrey I, who helped rebuild Arethor. His father was then given a small castle and village, as well as many troops in the outskirts of Arethor. His mother is not his father's wife, rather he is a *******. He was loved by his father at first, until he was thrown out of the castle for murdering the Cook for calling him a *******. He went to the nearby town, and found refuge in the inn for free, as everyone respected him. One day, as he woke up, he noticed a lone falcon, flying above the inn. He was amazed at its strong wings and speed. From then on, he and his best friend Timothy trained in the back alleys for hours thwapping at each other with swords they made of tree branches. At age 15, he was a very good sword fighter, he had joined the guard, and he had a well muscled and tall body. It was December 31st, the day of Heaven's Renewal. There was much festivity, but all of a sudden horns blew. Out of plains several hundred bandits came, and pillaged the town. When some two hundred armed knights came out of the castle, half the village was dead, and Robert was found with Timothy and his daughter dead in his arms. He decided to depart from the small castle and town immediately. As he left the gates, the town Blacksmith, a great friend of Timothy and his for helping him gather iron and such to smith, came running up with a cart covered by a . "Wait," he said, "I have made for you the greatest thing I have ever made!" he continued, as he took the sheet off the cart. Robert gasped, as he saw the armor, beautifully crafted out of silver, with a blue tabard embroidered with a falcon, flying above the moon. "For you Falcon. Lo! your arms fly with the speed of an eagle speeding to his prey, and the strength of one, ripping his prey apart. Go swiftly my friend. Avenge our memory." And so from that day on, he has vowed to help those in need, no matter how great the plea. Ambitionsfor the Future:[/b] To one day become a great warrior of renown, and for all to know him as the Falcon of Oren. Personality:[/b] Robert is a very proficient sword fighter, with a good heart, willing to save anyone, even orcs, can grasp tactics well enough, loves birds such as falcons.

I reply saying I am willing to buy it from him for all of my money, satisfied I may have a sword worthy of legend.

Full Name: Antecelia
Current Age: 117
Sub-race (if any): Mali’ame (Wood Elve)
Past / History :
My name is Antceleia, it means Last Star. I was given this name because I was the last child born of Asulvulina and Anterion. I have three sisters, Eletor, Marinal, and Athelen. Although I loved all my family, Athelen was the person I held dearest to my heart. I lived in small house, or at least much too small for four girls, and their parents. Eletor and Marinal married and moved out as soon as they had the chance, but I couldn’t bear to leave home, or Athelen. I spent many hours of the day exploring the forests, and being adored by my parents. My life was boring, with nothing exciting or fun to do. Although I loved being outdoors I felt as if my life was missing adventure and exploration. I soon realized that Athelen would leave near noon to the woods every day, with mysterious clothed packages. I started noticing missing carving knives from my father’s cabinet, which was fine for me since I needed to do less polishing, but it also confused me. Why would she need knives? Was there some unknown being in the forest that she was tracking, what was in the woods that she needed to go to everyday? I began fantasizing about what wonders she was doing in there. One day I made up my mind to go and follow her out. I hid behind the trees, hoping to go unseen, and when the sun reached the middle of the sky I stood very still and waited. It seemed like hours, although in realization it was only minutes. I stood silently as Athelen looked around and climbed a tree, she continued moving from tree to tree. Although I wasn’t as skilled a climber as she, I managed to keep her within eyesight, and we soon stopped near a small creak.
“You can come out now” she said in that melodic way of talking, that she only spoke to with me.
“How did you know, I was following you, I was being really careful!”
She chuckled and patted the spot near her where she was sitting.
“So what are you doing out here anyways?”
“That’s what I wanted to ask you”
“Well, can you keep a secret?” I nodded, and urged her to continue. She carefully un-wrapped her package, revealing a piece of log, as thick as my arm. I sighed in disappointment.
“I know it’s not much now, but one day this will be a great bow, and then I will teach you how use it.” A bow? There was no way I would be able to shoot a bow. I didn’t have the heart to kill anything, plus I wasn’t a very good aim. Now a sword I could use. I had better reflexes for hand to hand combat, but those were very rarely used where I lived. I watched as she got the knife and started carving. I became intrigued, watching the rhythm of her fingers and they took hold of the log and every day I would see it becoming more, and more like a bow.
“It’s almost done” She said to me one day.
“I’ll go get some thread to run threw it,” I said excitedly.
She nodded her head, not wanting to stop the rhythm of her fingers.
I quickly ran through the path that had become almost as familiar as my home, and ran into my house, searching for string, string that would soon be strung through the wood, which would soon turn it into a bow, and which would soon teach me how to shoot straight, or hunt like other Elves.
When I came back she was gone. There was no trace of her, I thought maybe she had just went home, or maybe wandered off. I sat there for 3 hours, waiting for her. I called her name many times, but the only answer I got was the birds singing, and the crickets chirping. I realized I had not shed one tear. Was it hope that was keeping me from crying? It must be, because I was sure she wasn’t dead. She was too smart to be killed in such a short period of time. For a while I convinced myself that she was just in the forest, exploring, and that any minute now she would come home. The realization hit me like an arrow in the knee, she was gone. The moment I found out that she was gone I packed my things and left without a word to my parents. I have been wandering for 10 years now, looking for her, hoping to find signs of her. I have vivid dreams of her every day now. I know she’s in trouble, I feel it in my guts. I spend every day looking for her now.
Ambitions for the Future: Find my lost sister Athelen, who disappeared.
Personality: Curious, Ambitious, Shy, Childish, Silent, Easily upset.
Skills: Cooking, Writing, singing, communicating with animals, good with swords.

Open-Response-Questions Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.
____
1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react?
Answer:
“Excuse me is there a problem here?” I push the small Child behind me, and glance up at the High Elves. The child looks down and kicks some dust with his shoes, as the High Elves continue laughing.
“Why do you continue to mock this child? Because he is “less superior” than you?”
“Stop getting in others fights, this is personal business.” One of them said. She sneered as she looked at me, obviously saying with her eyes, “You are nothing”. I calmly take the elves hand and lead him away from the others.
“Don’t you worry little one, they won’t bother you again.” I say as I pat him on the head, and give him a nudge towards others of his own kind and age.
2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?
Answer:
I slowly pick up his coins and looks into his eyes as I help him up. He looks gratefully at me, as he grabs his walking stick. He nods at me as he walks away, looking behind him, to make sure its not a trick. I smile as he walks towards a small house. The doors open up as two small kids, about 3, run up and jump into his arms. He hands the coins to a tired looking mother. He speaks quietly into her ears and looks my direction. She smiles politely waving her hands, inviting me inside. I laugh and nod my head no. I see one gold coin that he forgot on the ground. I look at the smiling family and pick up the coin. I hold it up to them but they motion for me to keep it. I look back as I slowly climb the trees, thinking that maybe humans and Elves really are friends.
3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).
Answer: I nod my head. Haggling was like gambling, and it wouldn’t be wise to do that. Gambling is luck, which I didn’t believe in. Life is about skills, not luck, sure it’s nice to be lucky but I wouldn’t waste the last of my money. I slowly walk towards the guy with the coins in my pocket making a jingling sound. I open it up and hand him 2 coins.
“I’ll take that bread and cheese.”
“So, you want to haggle or what?” He gives me a sly grin and points toward the objects.”
“No”, I say calmly, “I don’t believe in gambling.” He looks at me for a moment, then grabs the objects and places them into my waiting hand.
“Have a good day now then.” I grab them as he mumbles about how Elves never want to have fun.

This happened for 23 years until one day his father unexpectedly died while going out on a hunting trip on the mountains.
Hearing this Alex was greatly saddened wondering what ever happened to his father. After quietly and deeply pondering for a few days he decided to go to the same mountain that his father went to. Upon reaching the location he saw a few gold coins scattered on the ground. When he investigated and asked around Ager, he heard rumors about a thieves guild somewhere around that area.

Definitions
In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:
Roleplaying: To role play is to forget the real parts of the world, forget the name that you are given by birth and forget the attitude you have gotten used to. After that, You endure a character of your creation, wether it is a Knight, A witch, A wizard or any other kind. You will take on that characters emotions, speech, and actions.
Meta-gaming: To abuse the information you have learned while out of character and to use it while role playing. For example if you and a friend are talking on the phone in real life and he tells you where a gold mine is on the server, and you head straight there, that is meta-gaming. Since you have learned that information OOC (out of character) and used it IC (In character)
Power-emoting: To Power-Emote is to act or be overpowered. For example, someone comes up behind you and tries punch you in the face, and you react by saying like you dodged the punch and you instantly thrust a blade through his heart. That is power gaming because 1: You apparently reacted to something that happened behind you and you not noticing and two you forced an action.

Full Name: Sicarius Hanoway
Current Age: 21
Sub-race (if any):
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
Sicarius was born into the Hanoway name in Oren. His parents held a small home at the edge of the kingdom... Them as only couriers there was nothing out of the ordinary here. At the age of three, Ellie Hanoway his mother noticed something strange with her son. While other children were just playing with leather boxes just building squares or something. No he was stripping the leather off and stuck it onto the wall, it formed the materialistic material of a long sword. Though this was not that strange it might have been a coincidence. Now he was five year old, growing up under the influence of his parents they have began home schooling him. All the time at the dinner table he would always pickup a toy knife and tried to poke his father Maten Hanoway with it.
At the age of ten, Sicarius decided to sneak out to see the town. He started walking through the town, all of a sudden one of the Knights of the Oren kingdom had bumped into him. As he fell down he felt a hand turn around and reach down and grab him just before his back touches the ground. He feels a instant just, and he's standing on his feet. Sicarius looks up to see a noble strong looking man staring at him. "Hello, their young man. You best be careful around here, don't want you falling and ruining you clothes!" the man said to me. All of a sudden a voice appeared from the distance. "Sir Ramboy, you are needed in the castle!" The man looks to his right and says good bye to me and leaves. I after ran home and asked my father if he knew a Sir Ramboy. My father explained to me if there is someone called "Sir" that means they are knights, who fight for the kingdom. The next eleven years I have always looked up to the castle hoping that I some day might join the knight order. At the age of sixteen, I was helping my parents deliver letters and make a little money. The next few years went by fast until finally, my parents came to me and said that it is time for me to go travel and see the world. I had denied it but when I was twenty one, I accepted the offer and set off.
Ambitions for the Future: To become a Knight of the order

Open-Response-Questions
Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.
____
1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?
Answer: Sicarius is walking through the town at night time, when all of a sudden at the corner of his eye a deep dark shadow appears to be moving up the steps towards the emperor castle, this man's cloak is shaded by the midst of the night. Out of curiousity, Sicarius decides to follow him up the grey cracked stairs quietly. As he runs towards the beginning of the steps, he watches the man carefully to see what he is going to do next. Finally, caught up to him. Sicarius approaches carefully, ready to drop the ground if the man is to tilt his head. No sudden movement from the man. Now close to the doors, he sees the man head around the guards of the door. Instead of going around, Sicarius decides to grab two rocks of the ground and is ready to throw them aiming at the door. When he noticed the man approach the door, without a second thought he tried to throw the two medium sized rocks towards the entrance door. Flying through the air only one hits the door and makes a pretty large sound that startles the guards, they turn to the door and see the man trying to sneak in. On that note, Sicarius turns and heads back down the steps.
2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?
Answer: As Sicarius walks through the woods he hears distinctive voices, that seem of some aid. Armed with his usual weapons and armour he heads for the voices. Through the very thick forest, he loses sight of the direction of where the sound came from. Stopping for a rest he sees a small opening ahead. As he continues to follow it, he emerges in a large clearing with a a small cobbled cottage. As he comes closer he recognizes three people there, one seemed to be an old man only armed with an iron blade and the other two heavily armed. Unsheathing his blade, he carefully sneaks up behind the two men. *Sicarius attempts to hit the two men with the blunt side of his longsword to attract their attention.* The hit strikes them by surprise, and they turn around with their axes out and yell "EY MATE! YER A DEAD MAN NOW!!!" Sicarius breaks a little grin and sheathes his sword and begins to run away to the forest. The two follow him. After sometime of running Sicarius returns back to the cottage and knocks on the door. The old man opens with his sword out. "Sir, we have to hide they will be coming back for both of us any time soon!" Sicarius explains, at that note the man opens the door and then slams it back again letting him in the just of a second. "Do you have a trapdoor of some kind that we could hide in?" Sicarius asks the man. The mans nods. "Good lets hide their, grab you valuables and lets go. " After about a minute they are hiding already in the trapdoor waiting for the bandits to come back. Soon after they hear a slam as if the door was broken down. Time passes and they come back out...
3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).
Sicarius, walking around town looking for shops. At the corner of his eye he sees a small man behind a colorful stall. He approaches the stall and notices all types of goods to be sold here. "Mighty fine goods you have here bud, how much would you sell me this stone dagger for?" SIcarius is curious and asks. "I don't got a price on hit yet, but how about fifty minas?" The merchant explains. "FIFTY MINAS? Are you crazy sir, have a little to much to drink?? I will give you ten mina for it." Sicarius starts to haggle. "Hmm, I will lower it to twenty five!" Says the merchant. "That is still a very high price how about fifteen minas?" Sicarius explains. "No no that won't work, how about you give me that necklace of yours as well?" The merchant bargains. "My necklace just for a stone dagger no way! Hmm how about if I give you fifteen minas and I buy you drink lad?" Sicarius says. "A drink sounds nice.... Alright you got yourself a deal" The man concludes as Sicarius hands the fifteen minas over.

While passing through the city I see a dwarf who is selling in one of the stalls. Walking by it I see that he is selling Ale. Some of the malaurir whom I am escorting to the Silver City have decided to see what type of Ale it is. I quickly get them out knowing they would be frowned upon if caught drinking the Ale of other races, let alone a dwarf. Its bad enough that they are young and are trying new things when going through the city. After getting out of the city I scold them for even going near it.

When the man drops his bag of Minas on the ground I come forward asking if he would like some assistance(I always help people of great wisdom).

Character Name: Amercane
Character Race: Human Male
Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary: His name is Amercane. He was born in a land he named, Taigae (pronounced tie-gay). It was amazing, such a beautiful sight because it was his first. New to the world, and new to survival itself. But, one day he was enraged at a lost he didn't know how to take at the time. He had never experienced somthing like this. He destroyed Taigae, not knowing that he had done a horrible mistake. Later on, other generated worlds didn't please him as much as Taigae. Then he regretted what he had done. He wanted to be around others after that, so he visited a land called LevelUp.
Here, he learned the excitment of PvP! Unfortunatly, he learned the harshness of it also. But, one man saw him crying out for help because he had nothing. This man will change the course of his life. His name is Old Toast. He accepted him and teach Amercane how to fight and survive. Amercane learned what is worth fighting for, the honor of doing it, and who you can look out for. But in the midst of all this, he also worked seperatley for a government known as the Deriman Alliance. In fact, he established the alliance. They are a free nation. They are the legacy. Now on to his basic info (haha sorry). Amercane is 27 years old, he wears his amour alot. A helmet formatted with a black visor and a metallic-like suit that covers him head to toe. But under that armor he has light peach skin, black hair, brown eyes, wears a pear of regular jeans, and a cyan shirt with bright blue edges at the shoulders. He has a friendly and understanding personality, humans or non-humans. But is very cautious, do to his knowledge of the PvP life. He only takes risks when he really needs to or when commanded to. He also has a good amount of knowledge on redstone engineering. One other final fact: Amercane has a genetic changer module called an MPM ( MorePlayerModels provided by Noppes Corps.
What are your characters ambitions?: Amercane is ambitious at times. One ambition is he wants to rule a strong ruling government that rules peacefully over its people. Giving the people safety, they will be treated equally. Human or non-human, everyone will have the same rights.
Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here: Look at the bottom of the app, very sorry it's small! D: Also, Amercane has 2 skins. One with his armor on and one in his regular clothes.
Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: Amercane is someone who you can always have by your side. No matter what, if he trusts you, he will never back-stab you. He likes to have friends and socialize.
Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response? I would check out what wares he's selling, just to try to give him some business. I would tell him "No worries my friend, you will find some comfort in this glorious city. I can try to help you out by buying one of your wares! I'll tell my friends about your shop. I hope that may help you. Oh and hey, catch me around!"
You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do? I would say: "Step away orc! There is no need to bring up a foolish fight over a dwarf!" If he refuses and starts harming the dwarf, I will attack him back in the dwarf's defense.

[color=#000000]I’ll get to that shortly after this posting.[/color]

[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is:[/color][/color]
[color=#000000]Roleplaying, in this medium, is improvised creative writing authored by multiple people each responsible for an individual character. Each participant is responsible for giving life to a character, while granting his/her fellows the room and opportunity to do the same with theirs. [/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is:[/color][/color]
[color=#000000]Metagaming is the act of using game mechanics or your personal knowledge to help your character “win” in the world. It’s allowing your character to break-the-forth-wall and advance his/her goals with abilities and information not actually available to them. For example: it’s like if Hamlet jumped into the audience, grabbed a pistol from someone in the front row, jumped back on the stage and shot his Uncle- thereby “winning” the play.[/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is:[/color][/color]
[color=#000000]Power-emoting usually involves one player forcing actions on another player with action text. It is much like one puppeteer reaching over and twiddling the strings of another person’s marionette. Other forms include giving your character extra powers or the benefit of amazing luck through childish ‘one-upmanship.’[/color]

[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]Character Name:[/color]Emil[/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]Character Race:[/color]Southron[/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]Character biography:color][/color]
[color=#000000]Emil was raised near the northern verge of the desert. His father was a shepherd, and his mother a fletcher, providing her husband the arrows to shoot the wolves which threatened the flock. So he was raised to understand sustenance existence, and the need to defend what was yours, And though a child, Emil was content. Then- the orcs came.[/color]
[color=#000000]They were fascinating. Smelly, strong... seemingly stupid but capable of haggling a competitive price for wool from his miser father.. As Emil ate the beef traded by the orcs that night, he knew there was much more to the world than his own home, and he decided he wanted to see it all. But his departure the following morning proved unsuccessful. After his father dragged him back home, his mother’s tears forced Emil to give an oath to remain home till his siblings were grown.[/color]
[color=#000000]So the years near the desert passed. Emil grew able with the bow, comfortable with the ways of both desert and plain, and acquainted with the sword. When he turned 23, his brothers were finally old enough to help his parents, and so Emil’s great adventure could finally begin. [/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]What are your characters ambitions?:[/color][/color]
[color=#000000]At this time, Emil simply wishes to explore the world and find adventure where he can.[/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here:[/color][/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]Is there anything else you would like to say about your character:[/color][/color]
[color=#000000]I’m new to the server, so I thought an open character would be best. I don’t know the world or the community, so Emil is someone who can develop as I play and find things fun.[/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]

[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response?[/color][/color]
[color=#000000]Dwarves never came around my place when I was a boy, but they look just like how they are described in the storybooks. Short with a big beard. Out of curiosity, I wander over to take a look at the dwarf as much as see what he was selling. The dwarf smells heavily of stale ale, and he seems to be selling a selection of trinkets and tools. [/color]
[color=#000000]“‘Allo, lad. Can ah interest ye with fine dwarven craftsmanship?” His eyes narrow in sudden interest. “Where yeh from, anyway? That’s an interesting head-wrap yeh got there.”[/color]
[color=#000000]My hand drifts to my keffiyeh. “Many people wear these in the south. It helps against the sun and sand.”[/color]
[color=#000000]The dwarf grunts. “Ain’t much sand in these parts, though.”[/color]
[color=#000000]“True. But it works well on dust, and- and the smell of the city.”[/color]
[color=#000000]The dwarf gunts. “Human cities do reek, ah’ll give ya that. No offense, lad. But yer people don’t know much about plumbing.”[/color]
[color=#000000]“Plumbing?”[/color]
[color=#000000]The dwarf snorted and waved a hand. “That’s what ah mean. Anyway, look kid- Yeh here ta buy anything?”[/color]
[color=#000000]I shake my head, shame redding my skin under my scarf. “No, I’m not looking to buy.” I don’t have any money.[/color]
[color=#000000]The dwarf seemed to sense it. “Well, if money is what yeh need, yeh came to the right place. That’s why ah came to this city, me’self. Find some work, or sell some goods. It’s what we all do.”[/color]
[color=#000000]It sounded like good advice.[/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?[/color][/color]
[color=#000000]I don’t know that dwarf, and I sure don’t know that orc. I’m not going to get involved with whatever this is. The side of the road is a bit rough and brushy, but a bit of discomfort is better than getting between a pair of axes. My keffiyeh keeps catching on the branches, so I’m forced to pull it off. The northern air feels brisk on my skin. Before long, the sounds of argument turn to roars of battle, but those begin fading as I move further and further away. Once the silence of the night falls again, I’ll get back on the road.[/color]
[color=#000000][color="#FF8C00"]Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?:[/color][/color]
[color=#000000]I offer my hand to the old man. “Can I help you, sir?”[/color]
[color=#000000]“Bugger-off, southron!” the man grumbles, “I can take care of myself.”[/color]
[color=#000000]Stung, I withdraw my hand and watch the old fool gather his coins and get to his feet. Reminds me a little of my grandfather. Old ******* would never admit he needed help. I guess people in the north are a lot like people in the south. Not all parts of adventure could be magical, I suppose.[/color]

How old are you?: 14
Time-Zone: EST (Eastern Standard Time)
Have you read, understood and agreed to the rules?: Yes
What previous experience have you had in roleplaying?: I have role-played on the website of Nationstates for around one year. I have learned so much and grown greatly there.
How did you hear about the the Lord of the Craft?: I found it at random sometime ago. I only recently got active in it though I guess the size made me feel like I would have no chance.
Link any applications that you have previously made for the server: N/A
Have you posted this application on the MinecraftForum? If not, then please do so (link above): Yes
Have you read the Human lore, and shall you ensure you make use of it and follow it in your biography?:Yes
Definitions
In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:
Roleplaying: Acting in a role made or given to you. It is normally done with others which allows you to make yourself become one with the story. Become as if you are actually in it. Your mindset must shift from being yourself to acting as your new "person"/ role.
Meta-gaming: Telling others or acting on information that he/ she should not know. It is against the laws of the land and disrupts the normal role-play of the server. For example say a enemy is hiding in your mind. You see the nametag when you are walking above. You may see the name but in a real life situation you would not see someones name like that now would you? So hence you must continue until you see the person physically.
Power-emoting: (The most annoying to me) This is when a player does something or hurts soneone or seomthing with giving the other player even a chance to react. Such as juts walking up to someone and saying *stabs in heart body falls down dead*. In that case you gave no chance for the person to even have a chance of survival or role-playing the situation out. Maybe that person would have fought you and won? Maybe he would have ran away because he is secretly scared of you. Role-playing things out makes many new opinions for each new player. This too is against the laws of the land and is not allowed.
In-Character Information:
Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Vale Genul
Current Age: 20
Sub-race (if any): Northerner
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): When Vale was a child he grew up in a large slum that people dare call a village A peasant living in brutal poverty. It was not uncommon to see men's bodies being found around every turn. Dying brutal unforgettable deaths. This environment was not suitable for some grown men let alone a child at the age of seven. The boy had only a father. His mother died in labor with his sister Laraelia 2 years before these troubling time. That is where Vale's troubles began.
After the death of his mother his father became obsessed with the fate of every old stupid man. he found love in his ale and mead. He drank sunset till sunrise. When Vale once asked why father always smelt like stable boys his father went into a violent tirade. Smashing what little he had not sold to his addiction. In his violent rampage he knocked vale off his feet by punching the child. A ring his father was wearing scraped across his young skin. Blood became visible to Vale.
After hiding from his father because of the wound Vale anger wore off and drifted into depression.
As his father's radical anger issues became more and more outrageous his father drank them out of there house a year after his mother's death. The life of a poor child was nothing new to Vale as looting corpses and scavenging for food became a daily event even while they owned their house. Their father had not given them anything. Vale had taken Laraelia under his protection. His father would not even see the child. He blamed her for the death of his wife. Vale took the child as the last part of his mother. A part that must be protected and kept from the clutches of their father.
After the house was gone their father left the children to survive or die. Some rumors of the people say he left with a girl, some say he was murdered at night, others say he became sober and is still searching for his children. Vale did not care. He didn't care if he came back anymore.
While living in the slums until age 8 he decided that if he was to try to save his sister from being effected from this mess the time to go was now. She was 2 as now and was approaching her third name-day. If he was to keep her pure of this place the time to go was now. Vale left the slums in search of a better home. A home in which he could live peacefully. His elf connections led him to small elven village.
Nature lived around him and he learned from the elves. He learned more about bows then he had ever knew existed. Although he did not focus on weaponry he focused on something that interested him throughout his life. He focused on numbers. They fascinated him and through time he learned trade from the elves. When his sister turned 15 he found her a suitor. A young elf that Vale had knew from the people. He told them after the wedding that he would be leaving. In search of a place to open a shop and start to earn money.
Waving good bye to his friends and sister he rode off towards a new life. He found a slightly large city and decided to use his abilities to his advantage. He set up shop and began to trade with the people of both the land and sea. He held no racism in him so this did not prevent him from trading with other races. He hid his elve ears behind his slightly ling hair. He grew a beard to attract some dwarves too.
Sadly, things did not go as he hoped. His business did not succeed. He was in debt and out of options. So one night he walked to the silent docks. All were asleep at this hour of the night. He sat behind a box and stared at the knife he had bought with the last of his coins. A knife to end his life. He had done the one thing he swore never to do. He sword never to be in poverty again. Where could he go from here too! If he went to his sister crying for help he would be viewed as weak. He would not show weakness to the elves nor his sister after they had shown only bravery toward him. When he was about to slide the smooth blade down his skin a young man spoke up. The sudden noise made Vale jump and hide the knife. A young man stood over his shoulder. The boys looks were not appealing in any way. He looked at him as Vale looked him back. The man then slid off the box to crouch. He said to Vale "So, what happened"
Vale looked strangely back at the man "Excuse me?"
"Aye you heard me. I see that knife you were gonna slit weren't you?" Said the man in reply
"Now listen what I was going to do is..." Vale was cut off
"Listen, if your gonna slit that is none of my business. If you wanna jump off this platform be my guest. Hell, you can even go bash your own head in I don't care I was just asking if you needed some help." The man said. Vale was dumbfounded and silent. He took the mans offering hand and was pulled to his feet. The man then said "Aye take this coin. It will buy you something to get you started." As he flipped him what looked like a little golden coin.
Vale thought of this as a second chance . Almost a revival from god. He began from start. He bought shops, a house, and started to become established. He became a notable salesman in the city and started to make plans of expansion. Plans of starting a empire. Not with armies and kingdoms and houses but with commerce. A nation of gold as he joked with his friends.
Ambitions for the Future: Vale wishes to get married, begin his "nation of gold", and maybe become somewhat lightly involved in politics
Personality: A savvy and crude trader Vale is honest in deals. His roots make him compassionate to the poor and good with being a opportunist and being very resourceful
Skills: Wealthy, Archery, and Trading
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):The appearance of Vale is altered because of his genetics too. He has elf ears and very tall but hides his ears from public as afraid of customer loss. His hair color is straight brown with no tints.

Open-Response-Questions
Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.
____
1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?
Answer: Vale sees the man. He assumes that the man is trying to do something that may bring harm. The only problem is Vale is split. If he lets this go other people could get hurt. People that did not need get hurt and for what!?!? On the other hand Vale is not a person who likes the ideal of a birth right. He had to work for where and what he has gotten. These people have "birth rights" so they get to rule over us. Some are just loons! In a quick decision knwoing the man was going to do something at the palace he walked away as if nothing has heppend. There is no use in wasting his life and many others. Maybe that man will teach those slugs in the palace how to move. Maybe they can work on rebuilding "their" city.
2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?
Answer: After a long day of supervising the lumber mill and mine outside the city Vale takes a stroll. Stumbling upon the situation he thanks god the borrowed that iron longsword from one of his workers. He Quickly bounces behind a tree to listen to what is happening. He hears only yells. Vale does reconigze that he only has a sword. He is not accurate with a sword. He wishes he had he bow right now. If that was the case Vale would have walked into the situation. So instead he listened. He could not hear much. He did not inherit his mother's hearing but he did inheirt her sight and speed. So instead of taking a chance in which numbers did not favor him Vale simply used his stealth and spped to quickyl and quietly move further and further away. When he finally reached his mill and mine he took the long way back to town with guards on both sides.
3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).
Answer: When you wait in the line humble you finally reach the man. "Hello, how are your bows today?" Vale says.
"Well I only have one but it is expensive because of it's rarity." Said the man in almost a whisper.
"Well I am at no need for cash so please tell me of this bow and the cost." Said Vale almost eager to hear of a new bow. He had not had a good bow since when he lived with the elves for those many years.
"It is made by the elves and is as old as me!." This was surprising to vale as the man looked very old. Then again it could just be a very weird looking dwarf.
"I want to know your price though sir!" Said Vale like he was announcing it to the world.
"500 Minas!" Vale almost chocked on air
"3" Vale countered in a attempt to gain his breath back.
"4 and it's yours" said the merchant
It was a gamble for something that might not be real but Vale took the chance with it only being 400 "Deal!" Vale said proud to have earned the bow. Vale threw the man his money in a small coin purse and walked away staring at all the carvings in the bow.

In-Character Details
Character Name: Anne Margret
Character Race: Female Human
Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary: Anne Margret is an eighteen year old looking for a adventerous, romantic, heart-pounding life. She trained with an Elven tutor when she was seven. She doesn't know where-or who- her parents were, because they were seperated when she was four. She lived on the streets before meeting her tutor three years later. The elf had to go back to Malinor, but left her with good clothes and a full pocket. She has had experince with other elves, and found most of them disdainful and rude. Anne is stubborn, but if you get to know her, she is loyal and kind. She always remembered the elve's kindness, and understands that the world can be a hard place. She takes pity on all homeless children, and shares knowlegde with them. Many a night she has gone hungry for the sake of a child. If you get lost in Oren, simply wander until you find a finely dressed, auburn-haired girl. She will lead you to a dirty-watered fountain, at which she can point you towards Grimmys Pub, the Dock's, or any place you wish to travel. Want to join the Shields but don't know where to go? Wait by the fountain until you see Anne. Anne, like said, won't take kindly to you if she sees that you mistreat anyone. In fact, if you mistreat someone and Anne sees it, and you need her help later, she will point you in the opposite direction. THis is one of her flaws. She is just too stubborn about what she belives in. Also, if she doesn't like you, it's no secret. Anne will flat out say something like, "You are unenjoyable company. I don't like the way you _____, and ______, or _______. Goodbye!"
This throws people off, and makes her less popular. That makes rumors, and the rumors make Anne a mystery. Not many know her dreams, or that her ambition is too become a renowned writer.

The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response?
He looks like a kindly soul. There’s no fault sellin’ things were others don’t.

Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?:
The poor man! *bends down* “Sir, are you all right?” “I-I am fine, thank ye.” *gathers up coins* “Here you go, sir.” *puts in pocket* “Tha-thank ye, girl.” Here, I have this stick. It’s a drawing tool for the little ones in Oren, but I have a lot.” “Oh, thank ye!” “Sir, where are you headed?” “Oh, I am goin’ to O-oren!” “Ah, I’ll walk with you!

Character Name: Anne Margret
Character Race: Female Human
Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary: Anne Margret is an eighteen year old looking for a adventerous, romantic, heart-pounding life. She trained with an Elven tutor when she was seven. She doesn't know where-or who- her parents were, because they were seperated when she was four. She lived on the streets before meeting her tutor three years later. The elf had to go back to Malinor, but left her with good clothes and a full pocket. She has had experince with other elves, and found most of them disdainful and rude. Anne is stubborn, but if you get to know her, she is loyal and kind. She always remembered the elve's kindness, and understands that the world can be a hard place. She takes pity on all homeless children, and shares knowlegde with them. Many a night she has gone hungry for the sake of a child. If you get lost in Oren, simply wander until you find a finely dressed, auburn-haired girl. She will lead you to a dirty-watered fountain, at which she can point you towards Grimmys Pub, the Dock's, or any place you wish to travel. Want to join the Shields but don't know where to go? Wait by the fountain until you see Anne. Anne, like said, won't take kindly to you if she sees that you mistreat anyone. In fact, if you mistreat someone and Anne sees it, and you need her help later, she will point you in the opposite direction. THis is one of her flaws. She is just too stubborn about what she belives in. Also, if she doesn't like you, it's no secret. Anne will flat out say something like, "You are unenjoyable company. I don't like the way you _____, and ______, or _______. Goodbye!"
This throws people off, and makes her less popular. That makes rumors, and the rumors make Anne a mystery. Not many know her dreams, or that her ambition is too become a renowned writer.

In-Character Details
Character Name: Anne Margret
Character Race: Female Human
Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary: Anne Margret is an eighteen year old looking for a adventerous, romantic, heart-pounding life. She trained with an Elven tutor when she was seven. She doesn't know where-or who- her parents were, because they were seperated when she was four. She lived on the streets before meeting her tutor three years later. The elf had to go back to Malinor, but left her with good clothes and a full pocket. She has had experince with other elves, and found most of them disdainful and rude. Anne is stubborn, but if you get to know her, she is loyal and kind. She always remembered the elve's kindness, and understands that the world can be a hard place. She takes pity on all homeless children, and shares knowlegde with them. Many a night she has gone hungry for the sake of a child. If you get lost in Oren, simply wander until you find a finely dressed, auburn-haired girl. She will lead you to a dirty-watered fountain, at which she can point you towards Grimmys Pub, the Dock's, or any place you wish to travel. Want to join the Shields but don't know where to go? Wait by the fountain until you see Anne. Anne, like said, won't take kindly to you if she sees that you mistreat anyone. In fact, if you mistreat someone and Anne sees it, and you need her help later, she will point you in the opposite direction. THis is one of her flaws. She is just too stubborn about what she belives in. Also, if she doesn't like you, it's no secret. Anne will flat out say something like, "You are unenjoyable company. I don't like the way you _____, and ______, or _______. Goodbye!"
This throws people off, and makes her less popular. That makes rumors, and the rumors make Anne a mystery. Not many know her dreams, or that her ambition is too become a renowned writer.
What are your characters ambitions?: Anne's ambition is to become a famous writer, in hope that her old tutor may see what his student became. She also, like said, wants an exiteing, romantic, heart-pounding adventure of a life. Anne has a faint desire to find her parents, but common sense says that it's a big, dangerous world, and they are either far, far away, or deceased.

The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response?
He looks like a kindly soul. There’s no fault sellin’ things were others don’t. I admire that he broke outta standardization. “Hey, sir!” *looks hopefull* “Yes “, miss?” “Ah, may I have three loaves of bread?” I pay no heed that there is a bakery down the path. *looks happy* “That’ll be six Mina.” *hands him a small pouch* “Thank you, sir.” “Anytime, miss!” *nods* “Oh, sir, can I have a dozen apples?” “Of course.” “Three Mina, miss.” *hands him three shining coins* “And please, call me Anne.” “Anne… that’s a fine name, miss. I am Antuan.” “Good to meet you, Antuan. If you happen to pass through Oren, that is my home city.” “I’ll keep it in mind, Anne.” “Farewell, Antuam! “Farewell, Anne.”
You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?
He has no right to do that! Who does he think he is? Just ‘cause he’s big an’ strong, that give ‘em no good reason to be a big bully! ‘E probla’ don’t even know Arithmetic! “Hey, ya’ big bulla’ dere!

Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?:
The poor man! *bends down* “Sir, are you all right?” “I-I am fine, thank ye.” *gathers up coins* “Here you go, sir.” *puts in pocket* “Tha-thank ye, girl.” Here, I have this stick. It’s a drawing tool for the little ones in Oren, but I have a lot.” “Oh, thank ye!” “Sir, where are you headed?” “Oh, I am goin’ to O-oren!” “Ah, I’ll walk with you! That’s me home city!” “O-oh, what luck tha-that a good soul found me!” “Ah, it’s nothing, really.” “Th-the little things are the pleasures.” “True.” Memories. I didn’t have to help this man, tutor didn’t have to help me, this man probably helped someone HE didn’t have to. The little things, indeed.

He looks like a kindly soul. There’s no fault sellin’ things were others don’t. I admire that he broke outta standardization. “Hey, sir!” *looks hopefull* “Yes “, miss?” “Ah, may I have three loaves of bread?” I pay no heed that there is a bakery down the path. *looks happy* “That’ll be six Mina.” *hands him a small pouch* “Thank you, sir.” “Anytime, miss!” *nods* “Oh, sir, can I have a dozen apples?” “Of course.” “Three Mina, miss.” *hands him three shining coins* “And please, call me Anne.” “Anne… that’s a fine name, miss. I am Antuan.” “Good to meet you, Antuan. If you happen to pass through Oren, that is my home city.” “I’ll keep it in mind, Anne.” “Farewell, Antuam! “Farewell, Anne.”
You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?
He has no right to do that! Who does he think he is? Just ‘cause he’s big an’ strong, that give ‘em no good reason to be a big bully! ‘E probla’ don’t even know Arithmetic! “Hey, ya’ big bulla’ dere! Leave dat Dwarf lone! Right taway!” “Naw, he don’t gat an idea of who ta mess wit yet!” “Ya da one who don’t know who ta leave ‘lone! “Ohhhz. Da little human gonna mess with Derk too.” *scowls* “Ya just ta big bulla’! You couldn’t beat me up!” “Ohhhz, little girlz wants ta fight!” “Yea, I do!” *kicks the Dwarf* “I’ll be back for ya lata!” *swings arm at Anne* “Ohhhhhh…” *squirms away* *gets up* “Ya not gonna get da besta me, ya big, ugly, smella, bulla!” *kicks in gut* “Ow! Ya hurt, you little human!” *swings foot* *dodges* “Hey, big bulla!” Ya gone craza, Anne! “Come get me!” “Hey!” “Come on!” *runs off* “Ya get bak here, you little human!” “Derkz gonna get ya, one day!”
Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?:
The poor man! *bends down* “Sir, are you all right?” “I-I am fine, thank ye.” *gathers up coins* “Here you go, sir.” *puts in pocket* “Tha-thank ye, girl.” Here, I have this stick. It’s a drawing tool for the little ones in Oren, but I have a lot.” “Oh, thank ye!” “Sir, where are you headed?” “Oh, I am goin’ to O-oren!” “Ah, I’ll walk with you! That’s me home city!” “O-oh, what luck tha-that a good soul found me!” “Ah, it’s nothing, really.” “Th-the little things are the pleasures.” “True.” Memories. I didn’t have to help this man, tutor didn’t have to help me, this man probably helped someone HE didn’t have to. The little things, indeed.

Definitions
In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:
Role-playing:
Roleplaying is the art of getting away from your life, because it is usually quite stressful. So, where do you go to get away from your life? You do, in fact, go in to someone else’s life. This person I mentioned, you have created them, and you shaped and molded them with your bare hands, not caring that you got dirty. The person you make can be: Black, white, green, blue, tall, short, fat, skinny, smart, dumb, and anything else you could ever dream of thinking up in that tiny little machine, the brain, that barely fills this space we call the universe. This person does what IT wants to do, yet it is not living. You control him, but you are NOT him. He goes where he wants to go, but he can’t do it without you. Where this person dwells, it’s another huge universe! That universe is inside of our big universe! No matter if that universe is inside a 3 person chatroom, or a 1,000 player Roleplaying server on WoW. They can live from the Plains of Kalagdor, to the Sandy Shores of Kysar, to Middle Earth and Mordor, or to Aegis and Asulon. It doesn’t matter the circumstances, just that you aren’t yourself anymore. In short, roleplaying is just taking on the role of a character, and acting like them. It can be in drama class, or a minecraft server, doesn’t matter.
Meta-gaming:
Summarized: Meta gaming is using OOC knowledge while in character. This is cheating because your character is NOT you! (As previously stated above) Your character does not know about milkshakes (They don’t know what they’re missing!!!), or space ships, earth, computers, minecraft, pixels, anything here in OUR world. He only knows the beasts and plants of Asulon. (Unless he was unfortunate and spent his whole life in a dungeon from the time he was a baby. But…that would be very unfortunate, and who would RP as a guy who had no idea about anything?) Here are some examples:
*Bob is being beaten in a backalley of Arethor, during the night. No guards are present*
*Bob /tells Jason: Arethor, getting roughed up behind the tavern by *insert cliché name like XxShadowxKnightxX* and *again**
*Jason /tells Bob Dang dude, be right over, I’ll grab a friend. We’ll act like we don’t know you’re there and then we’ll notice you.
(Don’t worry, they’re just WANDERING THE FREAKING STREETS OF A LARGE HUMAN CITY AT NIGHT BUT WE’LL SPOT
YOU BEING ROUGHED UP)
Pretty lame, right? This is something in my experience I have seen happen fairly often. A couple times I’ve partaken in it,
but after a while I realized this was in fact METAGAMING. Here we have another example:
(NOW WITH LOTR NAMES! HOORAY!)
*Legolas just built his secret hut for his potion experiments as his evil alchemist character*
*Legolas /tells/skypes/texts Boromir: Hey dude, finished my alchemy shack, 102, 23, 45. Come check it out OOC sometime.
P.S. watch out for Orcish armies firing heavy bows at your chest while you’re defending a tiny Halfling with a
freaking ring that can rule the world. BUT NO PRESSURE
*Boromir replies: No problem dude, be over sometime. I will watch out, no promises on beating them though.
If I die will you slay a GIGANTIC FREAKING OLIPHANT (If you haven’t seen LotR (You better have) it’s a huge eliphant)
FOR ME
*Later that day Boromir goes and tells the guards that he has the location of an evil alchemist’s base of operations*
Oh Boromir, you’ll get banned at that rate, your character doesn’t know about the location…
Power-emoting:
Powergaming is allowing yourself to win no matter what. Examples will do greater good to show what this means. Powergaming is forcing RP acts upon players, without a chance for them to block, counter, or dodge, or even respond. This can either be through just a conversation, or a battle. Examples: (MORE LOTR NAMES!)
Sauron_The_Great: Hey Gandalf can I borrow some money? *Gandalf gives him some minas*
Gandalf_The_White: ((Seriously Sauron? I didn’t give you any minas…
Even if Sauron with his ring had the power to rule all of Middle Earth, he still can’t give money to himself like that.
He lost a gold star from that. What a shame, see, powergaming isn’t worth it.
Another Example: (LotR Names…again.)
*Frodo, and Gollum are fighting over the ring like little girls in the Misty Mountains*
Frodo_The_Halfling: *slicing open Gollum’s neck with this weird glowing blue sword I got from an old dude and taking the ring*
Gollum__XxPrecioussssxX: ((That powergaming made me want to jump into Mt. Doom master… you’re a disgrace to Precious.
Even if Frodo succeeded in what Isildor failed to do, he can’t make someone’s neck cut open without their permission.
Now let’s play spot the error!(Normal Names Now)
*Faendel fires an arrow at the charging orc, aiming for the weak point on the charging Orc’s pauldron*
*Malrog bashes the arrow aside, then slices open the tiny elf’s neck*
Did you find it? Faendel shot a perfectly good arrow, not saying it hit, but saying where he aimed on the Orc,
so the Orc would know how to counter it. The orc did counter right, but he still powergamed by slicing the elf’s neck open.
Simply by adding attempts to most attacks and where they aim can fix many fights. Finally,
I will now give you a good example of an RP fight.
Arceus_The_Huntress: *from a hidden point in a low tree, she fires a silent arrow at the impending danger, a human bandit,
clearly looking for someone to attack*
Cain_The_Wanted: *The arrow is unlucky and hits a heavily layered armored pauldron, rendering the shot useless,
only making him stumble and leaving hopeful sound trail of where he heard the arrow coming from*
This is good. Arceus did not force where the arrow hit even if it did hit. And Cain didn’t know exactly where the
arrow had come from, but he had a direction. He does not know where the arrow was shot from(Just its direction),
because with the skill of that wood elf, she could be anywhere from 2 yards to 150 yards.
In-Character Information:
Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Amicus Adrianne
Current Age: 41
Sub-race (if any): Wood Elf
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
In the world of Asulon, in the depths of Malinor, hidden in The Elder Tree City of Normandor, there existed one body. Physically it was two bodies, but the two beautiful creatures might have well been one. These two were a middle class couple, living happy and healthy. Their abode swung and swayed as it hung hundreds of feet above the water, but it wouldn’t break any time soon. They admired the Great Elf Bravepaw, who created their home, who knew how to escape the unrelenting clutches of the void itself. Their names were Ita-istar and Taur’ohtar.
The two’s cypress wood hanging house was an architectural wonder, just like the rest of Normandor. It was small, but functional. They created this when they were 63, a fairly young couple. And they got it for a good price, too.Ita-istar was an illusionist, practicing illusion magic and studying it. Taur’ohtar was a ranger, she would often go hunting and tracking.
On one cool Sabet morning, Ita-istar and Taur’ohtar were getting ready for their day. As they were getting dressed Ita-istar’s face flushed. “What is it, love?”, worried Taur’ohtar. It took Ita-istar minutes to reply, but Taur’ohtar patiently waited. “Your stomach, it’s out, you’re pregnant.” Taur’ohtar looked down and then walked over to Ita-istar and sat by him, “My love, don’t be sad, worried, or scared. We’ll do this together, and we won’t give it up. That’s not like us.” Ita’istar kissed her cheek, “You’re right, we will take responsibility of this child.” They continued their day with the matter settled.
The swaying ornament swung like any other day, but on the 27th day of The Snow’s Maiden, Taur’ohtar brought fourth a green eyed male elf. That snowy seed, the boy always smiled. His name was Amicus. In the human tongue, it simply meant ‘Friend’.
He was a clever child, always sneaking off in his youth. His parents were much too wise to let him sneak around for more than half of a day. Yet time and time again, he snuck out. His parents simply smiled at this curious child’s habits. He was 13 and he continued to sneak out. His parents always thought he wanted to roam the city, and that’s why he snuck out. Secretly at least once every week, most commonly on Sabet, Amicus snuck off to a beautiful young wood elf that he often crossed paths with in stores. Her name was Vallei’Leyun (Used one of the guides on the forums for elven names).
The two Wood Elves were only born 2 seeds apart. Amicus was the younger of the two. They always met on a specific branch in the Elder Tree, and would just talk, about literally anything. They could talk about their family life, what they loved, what they hated, what they wished, what they had. The two were in love. (in love for 13-14 year olds) Vallei loved his height, his brown hair, and those pale green eyes. Amicus adored her beauty, and her piercing silver eyes. One night Ita-istar stayed up late for his work, and caught Amicus sneaking out. He followed him silently, his feet making no noise on the sturdy paths of the tree. When he saw Amicus meet with Vallei, Amicus knelt down on one knee, took Vallei’s hand, and pressed his lips on it, his heart melted. His son was everything he had hoped for. What he had hoped for was that he would respect females, and see them as beautiful things in this world.
As Ita-istar walked back on a branch to their home, he looked up, and saw the two up on that branch, looking at the stars. That night Amicus didn’t come back, up there they fell asleep, hand in hand, awed by the beauty of those stars. Amicus’ father told his mother and she smiled with pride.
For 9 years Amicus had been sneaking out, thinking his parents didn’t know about his secret. But on the 14th day that the Sun was smiling, Amicus and Vallei were ripped apart by fate. On one of those special nights, they looked at eachother and nothing felt special, an unknown force broke their connection. They got up and both said to eachother, “Van’ayla. It was good while it lasted.” They both had wisdom, even if they were only 19, they were able to accept that fate sealed this, and they moved on with minimal heartbreak.
After that incident Amicus began training in weaponry, kick-started in archery as a child by his father. He went to the armory, and a berr shone bright like the light of the Elder Seed in his eyes. He approached the clerk, pointed to the berr, asking how much. The clerk looked up, “Ah, a beauty that one is. I can take 600 minas, and that’s a bargain. Handcrafted by one of the great bowyers of Normandor. It is made from a large maple sapling, and backed with bamboo.” Amicus cringed slightly at the word beauty, (LEYUN IS THE END HALF OF VALLEI’S NAME. LEYUN MEANS BEAUTY) but pulled out his whole coin purse and counted his savings that he had earned from his whole life. He counted 625. “The bow would last him a lifetime”, he thought as he handed over 600 minas.
Daily he trained with the berr, becoming a good shot with it. At the age of 20 he began learning the trade of being a hunter. He was an apprentice to an inept hunter, who taught him all his knowledge. After Amicus had learned to hunt swift and silent, the man, Proventus, taught him how to sell the meat and live off of that money. Only after all of that teaching, which took about one season, was he allowed to hunt for real. Proventus had to take him the first many times, to make sure he prayed to the one Creator thanking him for the blessing of animals, after he took one down. They hunted together for 2 seasons, overall his apprenticeship occupied a little less than 3 seasons.
When Amicus was 28 years of age, he hunted on his own, and boy he was good. He opened up shop in Normandor, and since Proventus was well into his years, he retired, leaving Amicus to be the popular meat shop, also selling arrows, and a few berrs.
A warm Kamees in the Second Seed, Amicus was cleaning an arrow behind his desk from a recent hunt, splattering a little blood on his business ledger, “Woops”. He took the pipe out of his mouth and blew a smoke ring into the ceiling and watched as it just broke into two smaller ones. He’d been practicing that for about 10 minutes. He had gotten quite good at it. A kind feminine voice spoke softly, “That was a good one, Amicus.” Amicus looked up, “Indeed,” he was staring into the beautiful face of Vallei’Leyun, who had been standing there the whole time he started practicing the rings. Memories came back, that he had almost forgotten. Vallei had also become a hunter, as indicated by her quiver full of arrows. She walked into his office in a small backroom, and sat in the chair in front of his desk. Amicus was still curiously watching, “Speak, friend,” Vallei smiled warmly, “I confess, you are the better hunter, and if I open up shop, I will not have many customers, and I will become low. The only way I’ll make a living from this is if we do this shop together.” Amicus raised his brow in surprise, “Well…*Long Silence*…I suppose I’ve needed someone else here, gets lonely, very well. But we still have no courtship. Welcome to the shop.”
4 seasons passed and they were still running that shop. At 38 Amicus brought Vallei into the office and spoke, “It’s time I leave this city and experience the world for everything it has. You now get to have all the profits of this shop. You run it, you do whatever it is you want to do with this place. It was great having a business partner. Van’ayla, you beautiful mali.” “Van’ayla,” Vallei softly spoke. She kissed him on the cheek and told him, “I’ll take care of the place.” With that he took his already packed things, and ventured into the wilds.
For a whole Fortday Amicus walked through the wilds, hunting as he went. He discovered a clearing in the dense wilds, and set up a sleeping position in a tree. During the night he awoke to a slight shaking in the tree. He wasn’t the only thing in this tree, more importantly he wasn’t the only one in this tree.
He saw a concealed figure in the tree, that didn’t seem to notice him. He silently stood and whispered through the wind to him, “Peace, friend.” The hooded man turned, and Amicus noticed the marking of a Ranger of the Forest on his neck, “Citizen, I don’t trust just anyone in these wilds *pulling out a shortsword*, but you seem remarkably sincere, and without fear, by my eyes and your circumstances, I’d assume you were sleeping in this tree. *Putting away the sword and extending his hand* I’m Gideon Marsh. (Since this was on their guild page I figured it would be okay to use his name, if not just *insert ranger name*). I am a ran-“ Amicus interrupted him, “Ranger of the Forest, yes I know, I saw your mark.” Gideon smirked, “Clever man, no ordinary citizen would notice such a small detail. Now I would advise you to carry on sleeping or leave the area. We have a line of scouts following a group of bandits on their way to the Oren roads. And I don’t believe I caught your name?” Amicus smirked, “I am Amicus, Hunter of Normandor. Now, do you know these bandits are a danger? I’d be willing to test how clever they are.” Gideon frowned, “We can’t ask citizens to put their neck out like that. But if you really are interested, they should come through this clearing in an hour.” Amicus solemly replied, “I’m no citizen. I’ll be waiting for them, but I assume you and other rangers will be watching this clearing anyway if something were to happen.” Gideon nodded and then melted into the tree.
Amicus went to the middle of the clearing, started a fire, and began to make a shelter, something any unwise person would do in the wilds. Bandit-bait, is what he was imitating. By the time the bandits came into the clearing, Amicus’ mock camp was set. As he looked in the trees, his eyes had been trained for rangers after seeing the first one, he saw their glimmering eyes in the firelight around the clearing, he counted 10 but he knew there existed more, the more skilled in concealment were not seen by Amicus.
The bandits came into the clearing and seeing the small-framed elf, the leader pointed, “Easy kill boys, take him.” Amicus stood with a surprised face and analyzed the group silently. He counted 3 orcs, and 2 humans, they all wore animal hides as armor. Amicus took all of his weapons off of him so he ran to the edge of the clearing and began to clamber up a tree like an amateur. The orcs were unable to climb the tree, and the humans weren’t going to risk falling back down. Amicus leaped out of the tree, and began running across the clearing again, this time tripping on purpose. The group of 4 bandits made a wide circle around him as the leader slowly advanced. Amicus stood up, and threw the biggest rock he could find at the leader, but this was a very small rock. The orc roared with laughter as it harmlessly bounced off of him. Amicus still hadn’t determined how proficient these bandits were, so he let the leader take a swing with his large battleaxe. Amicus easily ducked under, he observed an awful form, and a slow swing. As the orc took another swing the axe was knocked out of the orc’s hand after an arrow hit the orc’s hand.
Amicus gained his former posture, sprinted to his weapons, grabbed his berr and nocked an arrow as he heard arrows all around the clearing nock on strings. The orc was enraged at the arrow and let out a blood-curdling yell. Amicus drew back the bow and aimed it at the leader, “You’re not making it to the Oren Road so soon.” Amicus heard a whistle from the ring of the clearing and Gideon was calling him to the line of rangers that had formed at the edge of the clearing. All of them had their bows drawn. One of the orcs looked at Amicus and grunted, “Why would you back to the edge when you have no one to protect you?” The bandits were unable to see the rangers, for they blended in so well. Amicus simply asserted, “One man at the edge of a clearing can’t shoot all these arrows.” The orc cocked its head, “Arrows? What arro-“ All of the rangers and Amicus simultaneously released their arrow, each bandit having 3 arrows in it, except the leader, with 4, one extra from Amicus. They all fell to the ground dead. The rangers silently disappeared into the wilds, except Gideon, who spoke to Amicus, “Friend, that was some nice work. You helped to saved many people on the Oren road tonight, go in peace.” He too, disappeared into the wilds without a trace.
On Red Rose Day, Amicus had figured out where it was happening at his common visits to Arethor, and went to the location of the festival (I understand Red Rose Day is not in a specific place, but I would like to think that there has to be some place where they celebrate it in big numbers where everybody can see your special person. On its page it does not specify where well.). Amicus knew why he wanted to go, and on his way there, he picked a beautiful rose, and carried it. When he got there he saw the festival in a clearing, and as suspected, he spotted a tree with a figure in it. Amicus approached the tree in a hooded cloak, holding the rose up to the figure. Who took it, and jumped down looking at the back of the cloak. “Amicus, I knew it was you,” Vallei remarked. Amicus turned and laughed, “Why do you have to make such snide remarks Vallei, just because we had young love but nothing now doesn’t mean you’re not important to me. I mean come on! You helped me make my living! It doesn’t mean you’re my beloved, it just means you mean something to me. Van’ayla, Vallei” “Van’ayla Amicus.”
Amicus was 40 years of age on that Red Rose Day. Amicus is now 41 and now has a longing to begin a life with a woman, and live somewhere other than the wilds.
Ambitions for the Future:
Amicus’ambitions are to stay an independent man(independent doesn’t mean he doesn’t
like women, it means he wants to depend on himself alone. Himself would include
his lady friend, because when people are in courtship or married, they are
practically one.), find a woman to love, establish a life that is not in a big
city, keep his roots in Malinor with his family, and visit his family and
brother at least yearly. He wants to do good in the world but does not enjoy
recognition for good deeds.
Personality: Amicus is a kind hearted elf. Although his attire seems to show otherwise, he has a good heart and wants the best. He always tries to keep peace, but when there's an aggressor there's no time to 'talk it out'. He's a mellow guy, serious when he needs to be. Occasionally he makes humorous remarks, but he's not a comedian. He always tries to be friendly when he first meets someone, in case they're going through something and they're sad.
So essentially: Lawful Good
Skills: Amicus is a proficient hunter, practicing by actually hunting, or just setting up targets, he prefers a recurve berr that he bought in his young days. He also has his eyes trained from living in the wild for a season or two. In his days in the wild he taught himself his own fighting style with a hunting knife. This is so that if he was unlucky enough to not get his bow out, he had at least some alternative. If there were stats, they would go something like this:(Out of 20)
Archery: 18 (Hunting Training and His Father taught him a little)
Hunting Knife: 12 (Years in the Wild)
Agility: 20 (Wood Elves are Very Agile as said on many of the elven pages)
Stealth: 18 (Hunting Training)
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Back View:
Height: 6’1”
Weight: 140 pounds (he is thin, not skinny, with toned, not bulk muscles)
Hair: Silk Brunette Hair down to his collar
Eyes: Pale green eyes that seem to look farther than the heavens themselves
Skin: His skin is a dark caramel color
Ears: They are about 1.5 inches taller than average human ears. AND OF COURSE THEY ARE POINTY.
Commonly wears a dark green cloak and a tan tunic under it. He wears thin leather pauldrons and that's his only armor, other than fingerless gloves and boots (Both Leather)

Open-Response-Questions
Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.
____
1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react?
Answer:
*As I enter into the province of Malinor I see a group of High Elves mocking a Wood Elf Child for trying to climb a large tree that is much too large for his size*
*I approach the group of High Elves, immediately trying to speak first, to gain the jump in a possible debate*
"Friends, is he not your brother as much as I am? We are all elves in our homeland, treat them with respect. You don't see humans making fun of halflings for not living in two story houses do you? We are the oldest and wisest of the race, shouldn't we start acting like it?"
*The High Elves stare blankly at me, feeling beaten* "Wood Elf. You are wise although you look young. Continue in that."
*The group proceeds to stop mocking the child and walk away*
*The small child yells a quick thanks to me, and then tries climbing the tree, which he succeeds without the mocking of the group*
I speak to him while I have the chance, "Child...if you can be anything...never be anything like that. It is not necessary, even if it has happened to you.
2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?
Answer:
*I am walking to Malinor, through the forest, and then I see an elderly human, with a creaking walking stick, the man falls to the ground. As the man falls a bag of minas spills quickly onto the ground.*
*I’d run up to the spilled minas, and I’d fill it in a new burlap sack that I had on me. I set this at the man’s hand, then run off to the woods to find a new and more able walking stick.*
*The elderly man manages to get on his hands and knees, and secure the new bag of minas. He doesn't trust the old creaky stick anymore*
“Oh come on, there’s got to be a hardy sapling around here, these are the forests close to Malinor!” *I speak to my self as I set my eyes upon a hardy sapling. I pull it out of the ground and take out any knots and twigs on it, and wrapping the last of my leather as a handle on it. I sprint back to the road*
*The man is leaning against a tree, clutching onto it to keep himself from falling down, ignoring the walking stick on the ground* “Oh…thank goodness, I thought you’d left me without a new walking stick! That's what made me fall!”
*I kneel offering it to him*
“Thank you, elf. I can’t walk without it. This sure is a beauty.*
I speak back to him, “Indeed, was lucky enough to find it in some brush about 50 yards from here. Stay safe on your travels.”
*The man briefly nods as I continue on the trail back to Malinor*
3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).
Answer:
*I jog over, arrows seated in my quiver.*
Trader: *A male human smiles wide* "Finally someone comes across this clearing! It seems that this path has been widely avoided recently! But I will worry no more, for at least one person has come, leading me to believe there has got to be more people coming eventually. As I was saying, I have many things, many things, clothes, armor, bindings, hammers, bellows, leather, feathers, and eve-*Amicus Interrupts him*
"Feathers? I need some replacements, let me see them?"
Trader: "Sure thing, I'll just need to go get them" *Goes and rummages through the back of the carriage*
*I open the small pack that I keep feathers in, and there is one feather*
Trader: *He comes out with a small sack and opens it showing it to me*
*I reach inside pulling out a handful. Success. Every one of them is black and white* "So how much for each"
Trader: "It is 30 minas for 50 feathers"
*I put on a thoughtful expression, then begins the reverse-lowballing process* "How about 5 minas for 50?"
Trader: *Smiles* "How about no?"
*I silently smile in my thoughts. Now to get a halfway deal* "I think we can meet halfway. Let's go 20. Last offer."
Trader: "Deal. 20 minas." *Hands over the sack with 50 black and white feathers in it*
*I smile counting out and handing him 21 minas and emptying the sack of feathers into my pack* "Have a great day. I'll be back sometime. *Walks out of the clearing happy with the deal he managed to take*
Trader: *Waves* Please come back!
**A note on lowballing. Lowballing is originally when you're the seller. You offer a low price, and then raise it. The person has already committed to wanting the item at a low price so they buy it. Reversing it is when you are buying something, you want something for a low price you know they won't give you, and then you raise it in between, the low price makes it seem better.
**If you liked it I'd love if you'd shoot me a PM!

Character Name: Telgur
Character Race: Elf
Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary: Telgur is a Wood Elf who has brown hair and eyes, and always wore a hood to cover the giant scar at the back of his neck. He was born in a very small village with only 13 people in it, he was always training with his father to become the best archer that he could. When he was 15 years old he became an exceptional shot with a bow and could very well defend his village from bandit attacks.
During a raid, Telgur was caught and captured and he was shackled to a wall, he used rocks to file his shackles off and he had to sneak out without the bandits knowing. There was a broken path which was not guarded; he had to jump from stone to stone with such grace and elegance. On the last stone he cleared the jump but three bandits were coming back from a raid on a camp, the bandits turn and saw Telgur they tried to slash him with their swords. Telgur rolled out of the way but one of the bandits took one last slash before Telgur started to sprint and cut him deeply on the back of his neck. On his return back to his village Telgur was greeted warmly by his family and friends, later that night he thought “If I could escape from a bandit prison at this age, I think I’ll be fine as an adventurer”. On that thought, two weeks later Telgur said his goodbyes, packed his precious bow that his father made him when he was young, and a fine sharpened iron sword and some food and torches for the journey.
What are your characters ambitions?:To start his own village and become one of the greatest archers in all of the land of Auslon.
Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here: http://imgur.com/JYPz2x0
Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: He is an excellent archer and very swift, agile and clever.
Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response? “Hello kind sir” I say softly to the dwarf. “Ello’ sir, may I interest you in any of these items I have?” The dwarf says excitedly, showing a bow, stone sword and pickaxe along with some iron ingots and coal. “Hmm let’s see what you have here.” I say interested. “How many minas would it cost for the bow and 5 pieces of coal?” I say still looking at the items. “54 minas for all of the items together, but I would greatly appreciate it if you threw in a few extra minas so that I could stay at the inn tonight” The dwarf says with a happy expression on his face. “Okay, for you kind sir, I’ll give you 60 minas for your finely crafted bow and coal” I say with a little feeling of selflessness. “Oh my, thank you ever so kind, kind sir!” The dwarf says very excitedly. “No problem friend, I hope you can get a home in the city very soon.” I say while walking down the street.
You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do? “Stop! What are you doing to this poor man?” I say shouting. “Dis man not be paying me my minas” The Orc says while holding the dwarf by his collar. “How much did this man owe you?” I say looking in my pocket. “40, no, uhhhhhh I think 54 minas dis dwarf owed me.” The Orc says lowering the dwarf to the ground. “I would gladly pay off this man’s debt if you let him go this instant.” I say with the minas in my hand. “Oh! Mokay I let dis man go!” The Orc says staring deeply into my hand. “Here take them.” I say tossing the minas in front of him. “Are you alright?” I say taking the dwarf away from the Orc. “Yes, thank you very much for helping me out there, I just didn’t have enough. Here take 10 minas from me as my repayment, it’s all I have that I can give away.” The dwarf says extending his arm out with the minas in his hand. “Thank you, try to be more careful when making deals with some Orcs, they can be very dangerous at times.” I say taking the minas from the dwarfs hand and walking away after that.
Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?: “Are you alright?!” I say running quickly over to the old man’s aid. “Ahh I think I hurt my legs but I’ll be fine if I can get a new walking stick” The man says as I guide him to sit down and scoop up his minas back in his bag, handing it to him. “I think I can get you a new one just sit here and wait for a few minutes as I find some logs” I say looking around for trees, finding a good one and chopping it down. I bring the log back to where the man is sitting. ”Here I think I found a sturdy piece of log for a new walking stick” I say taking out a knife and carving it down. “Oh my, thank you very much I appreciate your kindness in helping an old man” The man says with a big smile on his face. “Okay, I think it’s just about done” I say doing the finishing touches on the walking stick and handing to the man. He takes it from me and begins walking down the road again.

____
[b]1.As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering.Upon inspection you realize that a group of HighElves are mocking a small WoodElf child.Howdo you react?[/b]
Answer:
-Olaris clenches her fists- "This is outrages!" -she thought angrily, knowing the child's pain. Although she is Outgoing, she wouldn't dare too run into a fight without thinking it through, calmly raising her bow, not too kill just to warn. Olaris shoots the dirty ground, covered in muck; beside one of the High Elves feet. The elves glance at Olaris, she could tell, they were afraid- "Leave the Child alone..." -Olaris said with a proud voice, striking fear into them, they quickly scurry away- "Now.." -Olaris thought, as she walked too the Child, petting him/her on the head gently- "You're safe... go" -Olaris whispered, sending the child off-
[b]2.Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick.He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud.Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway.The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?[/b]
Answer:
-Olaris walked over too the man, looking down at him with a frown; She might hate people but, what's the point of stealing a frail man's money? Their is nothing to prove- "You need some help?" -Olaris said dumbly, of course he needed help, extending her hand, he grasped for it, she pulled him up slowly, making sure not to hurt him... much. After he was standing up, shaking a bit from the fall, Olaris crouches down, picking up the gold coins, piece by piece, dropping them into the brown pouch before raising it too the man- "Here you go... be careful next time" -Olaris muttered, she watched as the man scurried off along the path-
[b]3.Whilst traversing the ElvenWoodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares.He points out that his carriage sells just about everything,and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).[/b]
Answer:
"Hey, a pretty lookin' elf like you knows a bargain when she see's one, eh?" -He announced with joy, despite Olaris' hatred for merchants and their pathetic advertisements, she needed some bread and more arrows- "I need some White Bread, and..." -she paused for a moment, counting the amount of bows she had already used, 54 was the amount she counted- "Uh... 64 arrows, just too be safe" -said Olaris, looking at him curiously- "Hahah, The loaf of bread will be 10 gold, while the 64 arrows will be 70!" -the merchant smirked while saying so, knowing that they were over priced, well so did Olaris!- "How about 50 gold coins for the arrows, that's the normal price for them!" -Olaris said smugly, the merchant peered curiously at her- "50? Out here in the forest? You'll be lucky too find another merchant out here" -The merchant replied, believing he one the battle, not yet though...- "You'll also be lucky to find another customer... so no, 50" -replied Olaris smartly, the merchant sighed and nodded- "50 gold coins it is then m'lady...." -he glares at her, merchants ALWAYS hate putting down the price, it means less money- "Alright!" -Olaris gave the man 60 gold coin, going on her way, munching on the bread-

Full Name: Darin Tiller
Current Age: 23
Sub-race (if any):
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): I was born the second youngest into a large family, so I did not have a lot of attention growing up. My parents owned a tavern, and us kids were always working in it. I hated it, not because I did not like working (although that was not great either), but because my older brother was a complete jerk to me all the time. He made me do his work, beat me up, that sort of thing. When I was about ten, I started fighting back, and we would both get into trouble and have to do extra work. Later, he left to get work of his own. I was relieved, but he soon came back to work for our parents, failing to find other work.
The next major thing that happened in my life was our town getting raided by a group of bandits. I got separated from everyone, and a bandit was approaching me. He was trying to get me to tell him where my family kept our money, and when I wouldn't, (not for lack of want, but because I was too scared to think straight) he was about to kill me, but my brother came in and saved my life. We found the rest of the family hiding behind our tavern, and we ran away. We came back after a day and the bandits were gone. Only one person had been killed, and they didn't take much, but several buildings had been burned, including our tavern. I could not stay there, so I left, hoping to become a farmer in another village somewhere.
Ambitions for the Future:[/b] To become a successful farmer, and make a decent living.
Personality:[/b] I am cowardly, but I try to do the right thing, if it is not too scary.
Skills:[/b] Cleaning, lifting
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):[/b] Brown eyes, brown hair, mustache, beard (skin attached)
Any other details you wish to share about your character:[/b] None
[b]Open-Response-Questions[/b]
[i]Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.[/i]
____
[b]1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b]
Answer: I walk up to the guards, trying hard not to draw attention to myself. I tell them about the man in question, and point him out, "Do you see that guy?" I ask quietly, "I think he is trying to steal something." If they believe me, I continue walking past them. if they do not, I walk past the shady character and "accidentally" bump into him, trying to annoy/provoke him to do something. If that fails, I shout "Fire!" to try and disrupt whatever he is doing.
[b]2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]
Answer: I hide behind a tree and say, "I wouldn't do that if I were you." in a spooky voice. When the bandits come to investigate, I run away as fast as I can, yelling/taunting the bandits, hoping their heavy equipment tires them. If they don't chase me, I keep running. I don't need to do anything more risky than that.
[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]
Answer: I try to get some food cheaply, suggesting a very low price, and when he doesn't go for it, I offer double the initial price. When he asks for more than that, I refuse, and inquire about farming/gardening equipment, and ask him what he wants for it. I offer him a bit less then that and he accepts. I go back to the food topic, hoping he might be willing to go for my offer now, and if he doesn't, I give him more.

As I look at the wall in the background I see a Wanted Sign with a Dwarf identical to the one I'm talking to. "Your wanted!" I say. "Yes please sir. Do not alert the guards." A guard walks by and notices him and pushes me aside and pulls out a Sword. I backhand him and grab his sword. "Lets go friend!" I say. As we run out of the city we are pursued by Knights. "Why are you doing this for me?" he asks. " I do not like Humans, Dwarf its the least I can do." I pull off my hood. He sees that I'm a Orc. He is Shocked. "Don't worry I have nothing against Dwarfs." He is more relaxed now. As we stumble into the dark woods the knights stop the pursuit. "You are fine now Dwarf. Flee back to your land." He looks at me "What is your name?" he asks. I say "Scrream." as i walk away.[/color]

It seems to be the same Dwarf I saved from Arethor. I walk up to the Orc and ask what his business is. He looks at me and asks "What is it to you! This maggot stole a bag of feed from my home." he says. I look at the Dwarf it is the same one from Arethor! I grab the Dwarf and say. " I told you to run to your land not into Orc territory! Idiotic Dwarf! You have gotten into a mess." I yell. The Orc takes out his sword and Kills the Dwarf. "No!, why did you kill him Orc!" I demand. "I said he stole from me. Back down before the same happens to you!" I take out my sword. He can tell that i'm more fit then he is. "Backdown? Haha. Who do you take me for whelp! I am Scrream. your future king! It is time for your demise!" A single slash cuts his arm off. " Is that enough or shall I take your soul also?" He squirms away slowly. "Please stop! I will leave." I pass him 1 Gold Coin. "That should cover the Feed. Next time I would think before I draw a Sword. I leave while the Orc runs home. I know he will come back with more Orcs so I vanish into the Night. [/color]

I help him up. "Thank you orc. What is your name? he asks. I say "Scrream" He seems to be shocked why I didn't take the money. I realized that this man might have knowledge of a Near by Human Camp, or Town. "Do you know anything of a Camp, or village of some sort?" I ask. "Yes, a decent ways south. Follow the path and you should get there very soon. Why didn't you take my coin and flee?" he says. "Knowledge is power. Not currency. You seemed to have known something, thank you." I explain. "What is stopping you from taking my money now?" he asks. I look at him. "If i wanted to take your money I would of already. Count your blessings Elder. Now leave I seen a pack of bandits on the way here. Head back to your town." I say. "Thank you again." says the man. As we leave I hear a Wolf. I wonder if the man will make it back.

Definitions
In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:
Role-playing:Role-playing refers to the changing of one's behaviour to assume a role, normally a made up character.
Metagaming: Describes any strategy, action or method used in a game which transcends a prescribed ruleset, uses external factors to affect the game. In simple terms, it is the use of out-of-game information or resources to affect one's in-game decisions.
Power-emoting: Power-emoting or god-emoting is an act of forcing the result of one's actions on another character, typically without the other player's consent and not giving the other character a chance to do anything about the emote. For instance, "Player1 kills Player2", "Player1 hits Player2" and "Player1 steals X gold from Player2" are all power-emotes.
Power-emoting is heavily frowned upon in most roleplaying communities, since it takes the freedom of action away from the player being emoted on. The typical solution for this issue is to emote attempts instead of finished actions. For example, typing "Player1 tries to stab Player2 in the chest with his sword" will give Player2 a chance to dodge or parry the blow.
In-Character Information::
Full Name: Robert Eddard Arryn
Current Age:19
Sub-race (if any): Northern Human
Past /History(include childhood, major-events, etc.2+ paragraphs long): Robert is the son of a renowned builder of King Godfrey I, who helped rebuild Arethor. His father was then given a small castle and village, as well as many troops in the outskirts of Arethor. His mother is not his father's wife, rather he is a *******. He was loved by his father at first, until he was thrown out of the castle for murdering the Cook for calling him a *******. He went to the nearby town, and found refuge in the inn for free, as everyone respected him. One day, as he woke up, he noticed a lone falcon, flying above the inn. He was amazed at its strong wings and speed. From then on, he and his best friend Timothy trained in the back alleys for hours thwapping at each other with swords they made of tree branches.
At age 15, he was a very good sword fighter, he had joined the guard, and he had a well muscled and tall body. It was December 31st, the day of Heaven's Renewal. There was much festivity, but all of a sudden horns blew. Out of plains several hundred bandits came, and pillaged the town. When some two hundred armed knights came out of the castle, half the village was dead, and Robert was found with Timothy and his daughter dead in his arms. He decided to depart from the small castle and town immediately. As he left the gates, the town Blacksmith, a great friend of Timothy and his for helping him gather iron and such to smith, came running up with a cart covered by a . "Wait," he said, "I have made for you the greatest thing I have ever made!" he continued, as he took the sheet off the cart. Robert gasped, as he saw the armor, beautifully crafted out of silver, with a blue tabard embroidered with a falcon, flying above the moon. "For you Falcon. Lo! your arms fly with the speed of an eagle speeding to his prey, and the strength of one, ripping his prey apart. Go swiftly my friend. Avenge our memory." And so from that day on, he has vowed to help those in need, no matter how great the plea.

1.Whilstin the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good.There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b]
Answer: I unsheathe my sword, slowly creeping behind him, waiting for him to do something suspicious, poised to charge and yell for the guards.[b]
2.Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing,in which sits a small cobbled cottage.Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him.You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]
Answer: I quickly check the surrounding area for anything I could use to help him, before coming at the bandits from the side, hoping to kill the first before the second notices. If the old man does not run, then he may help me attack the bandits. I reason they may break and run if I charge at them, they may have very bad training,
3.You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall.You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has noset prices.Heis willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices.Whatdo you do?(Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]
Answer: I ask him if he has anything of worth that involves falcons or eagles, especially armor or weapons, stating I will pay much beyond what he may ask for. When he says he does have a sword which has an eagle made of silver set in the crossguard, and a sapphire in the pommel. I reply saying I am willing to buy it from him for all of my money, satisfied I may have a sword worthy of legend.

Full Name: Antecelia
Current Age: 117
Sub-race (if any): Mali’ame (Wood Elve)
Past / History :
My name is Antceleia, it means Last Star. I was given this name because I was the last child born of Asulvulina and Anterion. I have three sisters, Eletor, Marinal, and Athelen. Although I loved all my family, Athelen was the person I held dearest to my heart. I lived in small house, or at least much too small for four girls, and their parents. Eletor and Marinal married and moved out as soon as they had the chance, but I couldn’t bear to leave home, or Athelen. I spent many hours of the day exploring the forests, and being adored by my parents. My life was boring, with nothing exciting or fun to do. Although I loved being outdoors I felt as if my life was missing adventure and exploration. I soon realized that Athelen would leave near noon to the woods every day, with mysterious clothed packages. I started noticing missing carving knives from my father’s cabinet, which was fine for me since I needed to do less polishing, but it also confused me. Why would she need knives? Was there some unknown being in the forest that she was tracking, what was in the woods that she needed to go to everyday? I began fantasizing about what wonders she was doing in there. One day I made up my mind to go and follow her out. I hid behind the trees, hoping to go unseen, and when the sun reached the middle of the sky I stood very still and waited. It seemed like hours, although in realization it was only minutes. I stood silently as Athelen looked around and climbed a tree, she continued moving from tree to tree. Although I wasn’t as skilled a climber as she, I managed to keep her within eyesight, and we soon stopped near a small creak.
“You can come out now” she said in that melodic way of talking, that she only spoke to with me.
“How did you know, I was following you, I was being really careful!”
She chuckled and patted the spot near her where she was sitting.
“So what are you doing out here anyways?”
“That’s what I wanted to ask you”
“Well, can you keep a secret?” I nodded, and urged her to continue. She carefully un-wrapped her package, revealing a piece of log, as thick as my arm. I sighed in disappointment.
“I know it’s not much now, but one day this will be a great bow, and then I will teach you how use it.” A bow? There was no way I would be able to shoot a bow. I didn’t have the heart to kill anything, plus I wasn’t a very good aim. Now a sword I could use. I had better reflexes for hand to hand combat, but those were very rarely used where I lived. I watched as she got the knife and started carving. I became intrigued, watching the rhythm of her fingers and they took hold of the log and every day I would see it becoming more, and more like a bow.
“It’s almost done” She said to me one day.
“I’ll go get some thread to run threw it,” I said excitedly.
She nodded her head, not wanting to stop the rhythm of her fingers.
I quickly ran through the path that had become almost as familiar as my home, and ran into my house, searching for string, string that would soon be strung through the wood, which would soon turn it into a bow, and which would soon teach me how to shoot straight, or hunt like other Elves.
When I came back she was gone. There was no trace of her, I thought maybe she had just went home, or maybe wandered off. I sat there for 3 hours, waiting for her. I called her name many times, but the only answer I got was the birds singing, and the crickets chirping. I realized I had not shed one tear. Was it hope that was keeping me from crying? It must be, because I was sure she wasn’t dead. She was too smart to be killed in such a short period of time. For a while I convinced myself that she was just in the forest, exploring, and that any minute now she would come home. The realization hit me like an arrow in the knee, she was gone. The moment I found out that she was gone I packed my things and left without a word to my parents. I have been wandering for 10 years now, looking for her, hoping to find signs of her. I have vivid dreams of her every day now. I know she’s in trouble, I feel it in my guts. I spend every day looking for her now.
Ambitions for the Future: Find my lost sister Athelen, who disappeared.
Personality: Curious, Ambitious, Shy, Childish, Silent, Easily upset.
Skills: Cooking, Writing, singing, communicating with animals, good with swords.

Open-Response-Questions
Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.
____
1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react?
Answer:
“Excuse me is there a problem here?” I push the small Child behind me, and glance up at the High Elves. The child looks down and kicks some dust with his shoes, as the High Elves continue laughing.
“Why do you continue to mock this child? Because he is “less superior” than you?”
“Stop getting in others fights, this is personal business.” One of them said. She sneered as she looked at me, obviously saying with her eyes, “You are nothing”. I calmly take the elves hand and lead him away from the others.
“Don’t you worry little one, they won’t bother you again.” I say as I pat him on the head, and give him a nudge towards others of his own kind and age.
2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?
Answer:
I slowly pick up his coins and looks into his eyes as I help him up. He looks gratefully at me, as he grabs his walking stick. He nods at me as he walks away, looking behind him, to make sure its not a trick. I smile as he walks towards a small house. The doors open up as two small kids, about 3, run up and jump into his arms. He hands the coins to a tired looking mother. He speaks quietly into her ears and looks my direction. She smiles politely waving her hands, inviting me inside. I laugh and nod my head no. I see one gold coin that he forgot on the ground. I look at the smiling family and pick up the coin. I hold it up to them but they motion for me to keep it. I look back as I slowly climb the trees, thinking that maybe humans and Elves really are friends.
3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).
Answer: I nod my head. Haggling was like gambling, and it wouldn’t be wise to do that. Gambling is luck, which I didn’t believe in. Life is about skills, not luck, sure it’s nice to be lucky but I wouldn’t waste the last of my money. I slowly walk towards the guy with the coins in my pocket making a jingling sound. I open it up and hand him 2 coins.
“I’ll take that bread and cheese.”
“So, you want to haggle or what?” He gives me a sly grin and points toward the objects.”
“No”, I say calmly, “I don’t believe in gambling.” He looks at me for a moment, then grabs the objects and places them into my waiting hand.
“Have a good day now then.” I grab them as he mumbles about how Elves never want to have fun.

Answer:I approach the man and ask him whats the best selling item around these parts? i would then leave and go to another village to see if i could make a good profit on any of the items he is selling. after returning and know my items of choice i would select a few items for a price lower then the other towns.

Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Alex was a farmer from the small village of Ager in where he helped his mother,Rosalia, everyday from morning until dusk. Daniel was his father but most of all his best friend, they would go on fishing trips and planted crops together until the day ended and everyone was exhausted but very happy. This happened for 23 years until one day his father unexpectedly died while going out on a hunting trip on the mountains.
Hearing this Alex was greatly saddened wondering what ever happened to his father. After quietly and deeply pondering for a few days he decided to go to the same mountain that his father went to. Upon reaching the location he saw a few gold coins scattered on the ground. When he investigated and asked around Ager, he heard rumors about a thieves guild somewhere around that area. Quickly he packed up his things and decided to go to Arethor where he wanted to train as a knight, to avenge the death of his one and true friend,his father.
