Define Roleplay: Roleplay is acting in a role that you have created for yourself. The role is often based off the person you would rather be than your actual persona. Depressing Example: A woman fails University and resorts to working at the local supermarket until she can find a proper job. However, she escapes the boredom of life by becoming, in a game, the "Archmage of the entire UNIVERSE!”
What is Meta-gaming?: Meta-Gaming is breaking out of the role that you have forged for yourself in an RP, or simply acting out of character. Normally by acting on information someone told you while non-RPing. So if someone told you over, say, steam 'Well, the town hall actually only has a one block deep floor, and I know this because I watched them build it when the server was getting made. Therefore we should just tunnel underneath it to get to the saferoom."This would be cheating, as you would be breaking the fourth wall and thus the whole RP. Perhaps if the person typed the info into Minecraft chat it would not be Meta, because then the guards would have a chance of overhearing them and preventing the break-in. If it’s transmitted through something like steam however, they have no chance.
What is Power-gaming?: Power gaming is gaming not for the sake of the experience (or RP) but to obtain as much power and resources as possible. An example of this is going on a massive mining expedition stopping only when your character dies or gets a full inventory, without taking time to go back up to town, eat, socialise, inform others of how the expedition is going etc.
Who can use flymod?: Only people who have been given permission. “Magical powers of flight” probably isn’t a good RP reason either.

Character Name: Daryndus Aevum
Character Race: Elf
Character Class: Don’t know the specifics, but a woodsman might be fitting for a teacher. (Excursions, etc)
Character Role (out of the set roles): SchoolTeacher
Character Biography (should be at least 250 words): Daryndus Aevum was left, as a baby, on the doorstep of Mr and Mrs Hard-Brew, a Dwarfish brewer and his hard drinking wife. If the owner of the house had been humans, he would have outlived his adopted parents, but as they were dwarves and of a sturdy constitution, the only issue was his rapidly growing height and pointy ears. Luckily, his hair soon grew over them, so that issue was removed. When he was 7, he contracted alemort fever and the dwarvish brewer sent for a doctor. Unfortunately, the doctor had just sampled some of the fine ales available from the family’s shop, so he was in no fit state to administer medicine. Who would have guessed that an improper dose of level II health potion and level I fire resistance would have caused a lifelong allergy to healing potions, resorting in a deep sleep till the effects wore off? Regardless, that put aside any question of the unlucky elf ever becoming a great warrior.
For a year, Daryndus lapsed into a great depression. At the merest mention of war, he would turn sour faced and retreat to his room, where strange noises were heard. His friends, already few to begin with, drifted away from him and it seemed all hope of a normal life was lost. The doctor, out of guilt, packed his bags and ran off to the next town and was never heard of again. One day, a travelling group of scholars came to town, and his parents, in an effort to distract him from his woe, brought him to see them. For reasons unknown, the bards and librarians struck him with awe, and he had a private meeting with the leader of the caravan group. He returned home that night with a satchel full of books, and locked himself in his room. The day before the caravan left, he said goodbye to his adoptive parents and joined the scholar’s caravans as assistant librarian. His parents were glad to see him, finally happy, making his way in the world.
He travelled with them for many years, and eventually, now a learned elf, left them at the elfish capital. Here he sought audience with the King and the outcome of their meeting was this: Aevum would be given a grant for the opening up of a school where the elves of the capital could be taught all manner of subjects. A year afterwards, he had not only established a reputation as a great loremaster, but as great dealer of secrets and information.
For him, knowledge, simply knowledge, is the greatest form of power.
What are your character's ambitions: To train a new generation of fearless warriors, magi and good-hearted citizens. He also collects many magical artifacts and occasionally goes on “long term service leave”, touring the lands with a handful of students to find new artifacts.
What are your character's strengths?: Persuasion, lore and knowledge. Whereas any barbarian may hack and slash through a dungeon, who told him of its whereabouts, the treasure inside, the beings he must defeat and the best way to deal with them?
What are your character's weaknesses?: Taking damadge and giving damadge. He trains people to fight, but doesn’t “lead by example”. He also has an allergy to healing potions, which nearly caused his end when he was a child. (Drinking one puts him in a deep sleep for 4-5 days).
What are your character's fears?: He is afraid of serious wounds, due to his allergy. He also has a phobia of skeletons, claiming their lack of flesh “just isn’t right”.
A guard walks up to you and tells you that you have been convicted of treason. What is your reaction?: If it is one guard, knock him out and steal his means of communicating with the rest of his squad, thus hindering his capture of myself and, by not killing him, not digging me deeper into a legal grave. However, if there are multiple guards, come quietly, as I am a schoolteacher, not an orcish berseker.. Then make sure I have a great lawyer or make plans of escape from jail. Maybe bribe the guards, but this would depend on how patriotic they were. Best outcome: I walk away a free man with some reimbursement. Worst Outcome: I get given capital punishment, in which case make an inspiring speech to try and turn the crowd against my captors.
Be like the king and you can join in on the King's parties! My parties!

First of all, your bio is nice, but not long enough. Second of all, the elf king is a nice guy, so if you're talking about the mad king, you should really be a human. Also, are you going to be a set role or not? You didn't fill that out.

Character name: Jack_Fladjer
Character race: Dwarf
Character class: Woodsman
Character role: Bartender.......i was guessing woodsman would be best suited
Character Biography: Jack was not the most fortunate of people. He had lost his parents when he was a child. His father was a miner, bringing in steady income for the small family of three. Though an accident had happened and he was buried in gravel. The physician said he had died a quick death so no suffering was found. Jack's mother had to handle two jobs and handle her son at the same time. In the process she had slowly taught him how to be quick with his hands, for one of her jobs was a bartender. As a young lad Jack had gained access to the simple skill of maneuvering his hands. Though he did not know the amount of stress his mother was going through. She soon collapsed under the pressure and committed suicide, making it look like a accident of falling into the river. Jack was then sent to an orphanage where he spent the rest of his childhood. Often he would go in the forests to observe nature and study it. As a small time job he helped carry wood as a young boy to bring small income for himself. Whenever he had become old enough to acquire an actual job with decent pay, he left the orphanage and worked at a bar handling the beer kegs. The owner was an old dwarf, near his time to meet the gods. Whenever he had passed away Jack was left the job of bartender. He has adored it ever since he was left the job. As a lucky charm he keeps a small gem around his neck the past owner had given him. In dwarven years, Jack is twenty five. A bit young in his years.

zmat007 - Dwarven Bartender I like it man. Very modest. Hope to see you there!
darkknight2835 - Ahket Soldier I like it. Only one big problem. Do you really think it's good material to add that you trained by killing monsters that 'spawned' from monster spawners? Not really good man. But I'll let you in anyways. Welcome!
