Definitions
In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is:I believe roleplaying is the act of taking on a unique character with one-of-a-kind traits and participating in an ever evolving world in which the actions committed by the character in question define who that character actually is. I believe roleplaying is a great way to experience what we cannot experience in real life. It is like a portal to another world.
In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is:I believe that metagaming is the situation in which information received out of character is used by a player to make decisions effecting the players actions. For example if I have a friend who knows of a secret attack on the city in which I live in and he tells me over Skype or in a person to person meeting an I leave the city at the time that I know the city will be attacked in order to protect myself.
In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is:I believe poweremoting is the act of throwing aside all feelings of the games true spirit to accomplish a goal. I believe poweremoting puts no interest in the storyline of a particular game. I believe it is basically abandoning the spirit of the game in a selfish way to ensure personal gain or mastery of the tasks in the game in question.

Character Name:Mycharacter's name is Scheldonn.

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:
As a young boy Scheldonn had only one wish. To prove that despite his size, speed, and strength, he could compete with his three brothers. He was the smallest and youngest of the bunch. Standing at only four feet tall at thirteen years old, he was a foot and a half shorter than the next to youngest brother, Whillyam, who was just one year older. The boys had competitions of strength. They would see who could go out, find the largest stone, and bring it back to their home. Sheldonn always lost to the others. They had foot races. They would race around the outskirts of the village, and by the time Scheldonn comleted his lap, his brother would already be inside rehydrating themselves. he was forced to stay at home as his three brothers went with their father to hunt. All of his friends from the school were also bigger than he was. He was always picked last whenever they wold play games involving teams. Heaven forbid he try and play tag with them. his childhood was very boring, for even though he worked the hardest he could, he could never beat his brothers or his friends in any type of event that involved physical labor. He did however have one thing that the others didn't-
He had his wit.
While he was at home as the others played outside or hunted, Scheldonn would study his books for school. he would play thinking games that only required one person. he understood that his body would probably never be in the condition to beat the others, but his mind grew every day. He grew in knowledge of history, arithmatic, writing, and most importantly, he grew in logic. His critical thinking and problem solving skills were unbelievable. The strength his mind possessed allowed hm to beat even the most experienced veterans of chess. His mind was his most powerful tool, and he used it to full effect.
One day, as he was walking home from school, he came upon his eldest brother, Johnathann, trying to defend himself as best he could against the village delinquent, Thommaas. Scheldonn dropped his books and raced to his brothers side to aid him in combat. Johnathann's nose was broken and his lip was busted. Thommaas would have no trouble in the task of causing relentless pain to rain down on Johnathann. Johnathann was on the brink of falling out, when Scheldonn, despite his miniscule strength, was able to outsmart Thommaas. Thommaas ended up being tripped by Schelonn while trying to charge him, whichin this case all Scheldonn had to do was step to the side and stick his foot out. Thommaas' jaw hid the hard earth with a deafening crunch. Some of his teeth flew out, blood poured from the empty spaces in his gums, and he had accidentally bitten off the tip of his tongue. He let out a bloodcurdling scream loud enough to awaken the dead from their endless slumber. It was at this point Scheldonn recognized his true power. This was the greatest accomplishment he had ever earned. He realized that the endless hours spent studying and increasing his mental capacity when he ever so dearly wished to be outside with the others playing games or racing or hunting were not hours spent in vain.
It is at this point we pick up Scheldonn's story, he is now seventeen years old and has only grown eight inches. He was preparing himself for a great journey across Asulon. His journey was not simply to get to a destination, but to test himself. He challenged himself to be the best he could be at everything, but mainly to make sure that the innocent he encountered along his journey were safe.
What are your characters ambitions?:To test his mental capabilities and increase his physical ability, but mainly to ensure the safety of others.

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?I walked up tho the dwarf and asked him what he was selling. He replied with "Stone tools". I was already equipped with Iron and diamond equipment and stone equipment was basically obsolete to me since I had much better equipment. I had some extra inventory space and some currency to spare so I decided why not, help the guy out. I gave him a few extra minas than I owed him and when he told me I gave him too much I said not to worry about it.
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 quickly distracted the Orc to draw the attention away from the outmatched Dwarf. I knew that this could end up with me dead, but it was a possible sacrifice i was willing to make. The Orc asked me if he wanted to fight, and I replied "Yes". I fought for my life hoping the dwarf would show up any time to lend a hand, but as i saw him running towards us, I struck a lucky blow with my diamond sword, which was the last required strike to cut this beast's life short. I asked the dwarf if he was okay and when we both got all our things squared away we went along our own seperate pathways.
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?:I quickly sprinted to the man's side and asked him if he was hurt. Once I was sure he was unhurt I helped him to his feet and gave him one of my fresh sticks for him to use. I gathered up all of his minas for him and returned them all to him. I offered to accompany him back to wherever he was going. Even though he said no I trailed him just so that if anything else happened he would not be alone and left vulnerable. He made it safely to his destination and I departed to go on my own path continuing towards Malinor.
In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is:
Roleplaying is the art of switching roles toplay in the shoes of another character
In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is:
Meta gaming is when you learn something in OOC and you relay that info to your character, which your character would have no means or way to find out
In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is:
Power emoting is the abuse of the system when players use emotes to describe an action that takes away the ability of another player to respond or prevent it.

How old are you?:
I am fourteen years old. I realize that many of my peers are immature, but I take stride in maintaining a high level of maturity. I also consider myself to be less "silly" thank many of my peers.
Time-Zone/Country of Residence:
I live on the West Coast of the United States, so my timezone is PST (GMT -8.)
Do you have a good grip on English grammar and the English language?:
Yes, I have an "A" in Honors English at my local high school, which is one of the top in the state, so I believe that I am quite capable at writing intelligently in the English language.
Have you had any previous experience in roleplaying?:
As roleplaying is one of my favorite past times, I have of course played on other roleplaying games. I was first introduced to RPGs a couple of years ago when my friend brought a DnD gaming set. We played around for a while, and our game failed utterly, but I had gotten a taste of roleplaying and I wanted more. Next, I played a game called Space Station 13, which was a 2d spaceman simulator. I played mainly on the Baystation12 server which was devoted to hardcore, serious RP. When another friend introduced me to Minecraft, I looked for a Minecraft RP server and stumbled upon Lord of the Craft.
Have you read and understood and agree to the rules?:
I have read the rules multiple times and agree to follow them. I believe that they are simply common sense and any intelligent person would follow them in heart.
How did you hear about the Lord of the Craft?:
As I said previously, I was simply looking for a Minecraft roleplaying server. I typed "best minecraft roleplay server" into my browser, and ended up with Lord of the Craft and a satisfied craving for roleplaying.
Link any previous applications you have made to the Lord of the Craft: I have not made any other applications.

Definitions
In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is:
Roleplaying essentially means that one is changing one's behavior to match a theoretical character. The player takes what they know about the character to act out what the theoretical character would do in certain situations. In simple terms, it basically means to pretend to be someone else in a game.
In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is:
The act of metagaming is when a player uses "out-of-character" knowledge, or knowledge that they IRL have, to influence the actions and knowledge of an "in character" character.
In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is:
The act of power-emoting is when a player uses emotes incorrectly to force other players into certain actions, without giving them the chance to act. For example, instead of emoting "McBandit attempts to stab McVictim," the player would emote "McBandit stabs McVictim with the knife in the heart, killing him instantly."

Character Name:
Iskandar Nycerusk
Character Race:
Northern 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:
Iskandar groans, rubbing the grime from his dusty brown eyes. He folds his dusty cloak and wraps it around him to protect from the cold. As he watches the morning sun rise, he contemplates his previous life. He remembers a grinning, friendly young adult with chocolate-brown hair and the beginnings of a bushy beard. The teenager has the typical build of a blacksmith: average height and muscular arms.
Iskandar was born in a small farming village on the borders of the Wilds. Life was happy and relatively peaceful, disregarding the occasional bandit raid. His parents were not rich, yet not poor. His father was blacksmith, forging farm tools and picks for the local residents. His mother was a relatively unskilled herbalist, barely managing to cure the basic ailments of the villagers. As a child, Iskandar and his companions would romp through the outskirts, play ball in the fields, run away from angry farmers, and listen to stories in the local eatery. At night, when all the children were to be in bed, he would sneak out of bed and peer out of his window into the night. Beyond the fortified walls, he could see the Wilds, teeming with life...and danger. Even as a child, a seed of curiosity was planted within.
Iskandar's childhood was uneventful. He was raised well, strong and healthy from his father, and a relatively sharp mind, like his mother. His parents decided that he was to continue his father's work as a blacksmith and, of course, remain stranded in the tiny village for the entirety of his days. An obedient child, he agreed to allow his father to train him in the art of smithing. However, the seed of curiosity sown within was know a sapling, yearning to see the world. As Iskandar matured, his relationship with his parents worsened. He began to question their judgement, wondering if they were really the enlightened people he had always thought them as. When Arjun was 21, his parents told him that he had to leave the household and make his own life in the world. He took this chance to leave the tiny village that had been his home for years, and explore the world. He grabbed his pack and sword and hit the road with an open mind and a kind heart.
What are your characters ambitions?:
Arjun biggest desire is to travel the world, meet new people, and settle down somewhere exciting. He also has a side goal of joining the army to see the world for a good cause.
Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here: http://imgur.com/xaR8G
Is there anything else you would like to say about your character:
Arjun is a pretty friendly guy. He's openminded to new things. His only flaws are that he is very ignorant of the outside world, having grown up in a secluded village and that he is very innocent and naive, considering everyone to be friendly.

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?
Arjun raises his hand in a friendly greeting and walks over to the dwarf. "Hail, how goes life?" Arjun asks. The dwarf grunts and says, "Meager rations and a lumpy bed." Arjun chuckles as he relates to the dwarf. Arjun reaches into his pocket and pulls out a couple of emeralds. He hands them to the dwarf and says, "Say, I hear that there's a nice eatery in town. Why don't you close up shop and we can go share tall-tales for a while?" The dwarf grins, pocketing the money, and says, "With company like 'ye, that doesn't sound like a half-bad idea." Arjun helps the dwarf carry some chests inside the shop, and they walk off towards a bustling tavern. Who knows? A friend in the merchant trade is always useful. 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?
Arjun approaches the pair carefully with this hand on his trusty blade, even though it is a needle compared to the Orc. Being a kind and benevolent person, Arjun will always try to mediate a fight, but he is not afraid to accept a duel to protech himself from bullies. "Say, you two, why don't you two calm down?" The Orc grinds his teeth and grunts, "None of 'ye business, puny human." At this point, the angered Orc is unlikely to back down. While Arjun pities the dwarf, he must always protect himself first. In most cases like this, Arjun would walk away and alert the nearest guard to the situation. 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?:
My character would always assist the elderly. Arjun helps the old man to his feet and checks him over for injuries. Arjun asks the old man where his destination is. As the old man is talking, Arjun bends down and gathers the coins into the bag and hands it to the man. The old man looks to be in poor condition, suffering from multiple ailments. He would never get to Malinor without assisstance. Arjun pulls out his sword and chops a small branch off of a tree. He strips the spiked bark off with a hunting knife and hands the walking stick to the old man. He helps the man walk off towards Malinor and refuses any payment.

In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is: Meta gaming is when you know something OOC that you in-character would not know.

He/she have to discover it first, by someone telling them or the location being written in a book.
In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is: power-emoting is when someone does a RP move that is highly overpowered and "kills" people just like that, for example "Casts a fireball on you, and you die". In eccence, it makes you win ALL the time.

In-Character Details
Character Name: Rikoigeach
Character Race: (Cave) Dwarf.
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:
Rikoigeach grew to adulthood within the vaulted rooms and rocky plains of Kal'Dwain. Born to ironworkers, he took to the forge and became a proficient, if not exceptional, blacksmith. His dedication to the craft earned him a comfortable living within the hold, and there he dwelled for several seasons. In his fifth season, the smith decided to go on a prospecting expedition, and he returned a changed dwarf. Whether it was the songs and campfires, the prospect of new material with which to craft, or the exotic locales, Rikoigeach took to the trails in a joyous and rather undwarflike manner. While delighted to return to the Hold, where downpours did not threaten a good night's sleep, the dwarf found himself itching to explore more of Asulon.
For a time, Rikoigeach was content. He busied himself with smelter and anvil, producing various trinkets and crafts. One day, Rikoigeach finished his work in the forge, carefully cleaned the work space, and left, closing the door behind him. His parents had passed some seasons before, and his siblings had left for other Holds; it was time, Rikoigeach decided, for a change of pace. He would travel the world for a time, no more than a season. It would clear his head, let him get back to work in Kal'Dwain. He dispatched notices to the Holds of his remaining family, informed his bemused acquaintances about his plans, and made the requisite prayers at the tombs of his ancestors. And with that, the dwarf left Kal'Dwain with another prospecting company, planning to return whenever he felt the time was right. Rikoigeach did not return the next season, or the season after that. He has not yet returned at all, and well into his ninth season the smith continues his travels. Asulon was much bigger than he had expected, and each time the dwarf considered turning homeward, he would stumble upon a new road laid out before him. There is time enough yet for him to rest in a Hold in his dotage; for now, he is hale and happy, more than willing to continue exploring the land.
A traveler stumbling across Rikoigeach will likely find himself amused by the itinerant dwarf. His clothes are well-worn leaather, and with his dark skin it can be difficult at times to tell exactly where jerkin ends and flesh begins. His nose is bulbous and pudgy, protruding out from a wrinkled face framed by a wild halo of hair and a long, plaited beard. Should the traveler accompany the dwarf in his sojourns, he will likely find the smith agreeable, though testy while working on mechanisms or in the smithy. Rikoigeach does not often stay long in one place; his eye is drawn ever to the horizon, where unseen devices and new landscapes await. Those journeying with the dwarf will find themselves frequently eschewing travel by boat for longer, more solid paths; Rikoigeach mistrusts large expanses of water, and generally avoids crossing them unless there is a strong need.
What are your characters ambitions?: To explore, to build, and to discover new mechanisms and methods of construction. Mostly to explore.
Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here:
Is there anything else you would like to say about your character:
Rikoigeach is not particularly fond of ducks or other waterfowl; he doesn't think birds living in water is natural.

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?
"Hail, friend!" I call out, stumping my way over to the merchant's stall, walking stick in hand. "What brings you to Arethor?"
"Business, if I can manage," he replies, smiling at the sight of a fellow dwarf. I nod, tossing my staff idly from hand to hand as I glance about his wares. "Are you looking for anything in particular?" He asks me hopefully. "An amulet for luck on the return trip, perhaps? A hat to keep the rain off your nose and out of your beard?"
"Doubt I'll be heading back anytime soon," I say, getting ready to leave. "And the rain won't be here for another hour or tw-" I'm interrupted by a fat raindrop splashing on my nose, trickling down my face and running into the thick hairs covering my upper lip. I grumble, wiping at it, as the merchant tries to keep the laughter from his face. "How much for the hat?" I say, daring him with a look to make any comment about the irony of weather.
"Three and eight," he says, mantaining his composure.
"Two and four," I say, "and I won't tell the guards about the robbery you're pulling."
"This is high quality leather," he insists. "I can't go below three and two--you'll run me out of business."
I depart some time later as the rain begins to fall in earnest, my purse lighter, but my nose dry. 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?
"Oi!" I shout out, hoping my voice doesn't shake. That is one big Orc--Uruk, if I'm right--and I'm not sure even two dwarves can fight him. The honor of a one-on-one fight is all well and good, but honor won't keep you from bleeding out on a lonely highway when you've managed to enrage a creature like that. "Get off him, you, or we'll have words." I raise my staff threateningly. It's good wood--solid, old, gnarled. It will probably withstand two hits from whatever the Orc's carrying. Maybe three, if I'm lucky.
"Go away, short creature," rumbles the beast. "Not your business. Go away or I'll get angry."
"He's a dwarf, you," I say, thinking fast. "That makes it my business." A thought occurs to me. "Now, you can fight us both, and you'll probably win, but I'll bet you that we can hold you off long enough for that caravan just out of sight to arrive." I wave nonchalantly toward the horizon, hoping the brute will fall for what I now realize is an utterly unconvincing lie.
The Orc looks at me for a long time. "That is a bad bet," he says, finally, before turning to look at the other dwarf. "Lucky for you there is the care-of-vans coming. Now go."
We scurry off quickly into the night, hoping to lose the creature before he realizes that he's been tricked. 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?:
I sigh. Humans don't understand the value of a good walking stick. I'm sure as stone not about to give him mine; it wouldn't be the right height for him anyway. I grumble as I bend over to pick up the purse and coins, palming a decent number for my troubles as I return them to the man and help him begin searching the nearby trees for a suitable replacement. He's lucky I'm an honest dwarf; there are bandits aplenty out who would gladly separate a man from his coin. As for my payment, well, it's only fair. He's delayed me quite a bit by falling down and making me stay near him for a time, and I'm sure he won't begrudge me the coin. Not that I need to let him know, of course. Humans can be selfish at times, and I wouldn't want to make the relationship awkward.

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.

I help the poor man to his feet and begin to collect up his gold pieces into one of my empty belt pouches. After filling the pouch, I hand it to the old man and strike up a conversation. "So, where are ye headed?" "Oh, to the north" He replies. "Well, it appears ye could use a new walking stick. Come, follow me, i'll get you suited up nicely." We go into the woods a little ways until I find a stick long enough that I can reach and begin chopping away, fasioning the man a new walking stick. After i finish my work, he attempts to pay me and i refuse. We go out seperate ways.

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:
I was born into a poor family from the town of Shadowvale. Not expecting much. We were happy to all have each other. Life was fine. and simple. I would leave every day to visit our town's Scribe, for I was his apprentice. But that all changed, one gloomy evening. it was a quiet night, too quiet actually. until i heard creaky steps of someone.... something climbing up the stairs. Being a kid, I hid under the covers, terrified. Shaking in fear, I heard a lusty scream of death, a window breaking, and something going out the window. then..... silence. I crept out of bed, and slowly opened the door to my parents room. I walked in to find my parents dead. Clearly the works of the Undead, I'd noticed a Bone Dagger through my fathers face.... and my mother sliced in half. Luckily, I was alive. A neighbor reported the noise as soon as it happened. I had picked up this dagger, to examine it closer, when the guards walked in. I dropped the dagger, scared. I pled, and shouted it wasn't me, and I miss my family. They had no other choice but to conclude I did it.....murdered my own family. Who could even do such a thing. The guards dragged me, helpless, up the what seemed like endless stairs, to the cloud temple. there I will be aquainted with a monk, to supervise me, and cleanse me of my wrong doing. I was set down, with the others. A monk looked over and stood up to talk to the guards. the next thing I knew, I was beckoned over. I explained what had happened, to me, and my family. He already knew i was going to be his apprentice, so he took me in, Probably because he was lonesome...or that he cared. He raised me as his own. It was a nice simple life. For years we lived happy. Until that day.... the dreaded day, I knew was coming. The monk had grown too old, too ill. He couldnt even get up. I was called into the room, Horrified I came in. "Scorlan, it has been good, having you around. But every Flower must die when it is their time. every season must change when it is their time. Everybody dies, when it is their..." the Monk had died.
I took a spade, out from the monks gardening shed, and dug a cozy spot, under a tree we used to have morning tea under. and gathered some candles. I then fetched the wheel-barrow and wheeled my "father" over, gently placed him into the ditch, and took the soil and slowly made him, one with this earth. once i was finished, i took a flat stone i had found, and carved "Rest in Peace" then placed the stone at the head of the ditch. I lit the candles, circling the grave, and walked back to the house. i gathered my things, my backpack, clothing, and walking stick, and headed out. back to my wilderness life. If you were me, you would understand, there were too many feelings at that house, for me to have stayed.
What are your characters ambitions?: to become a wise but mysterious monk.

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? As I walk into Arethor, Proudly, I walk right past The Poor Dwarf, not thinking much. I wasn't exactly here to socialize. I came to purchase some new Robes, and speak with the Tailor. I walked into the Door, to the tailor shop "Ah, hello Scorlan!" exclaimed the Merchant. "a Fine day, isn't it?" I remarked back. "I have come back, in search of some repair, you see, my robes have torn". "This is not good, and must be sown up at once!" declared the tailor. So, I sat down, and we had a nice chat, while he stitched my garments. "that should just about do it!" he said. "just about?" i remarked, as we had a good laugh after. I got up, paid the man, and walked out. Passing the Dwarf, I paused. I then approached the Halfling, and stated a lifting Hello. He seemed pretty down. "what's troubling you" I asked. "I've recently lost my old town to a devastating fire, even lost my beloved brother." he remarked in a sorrowful voice. "I'm...... truely sorry, friend." I claimed back. "So, what is it you are selling?". we continued to talk for a while, and concluded he was a Baker. I had purchased some Loaves of bread before saying "may good luck be brought" and I walked away, waving my last goodbye.
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? It is an eery night, as I walked home from my Scripting Store, when I heard a faint "Please, Heres my money, just... dont hurt me!". I dropped my papyrus pages, and my ink, then walked over towards the noise. "Is there a problem here, Ork?" I claimed. He looked over, disgusted. "Agh, I thought me smelled Elf" the ork replied. "Now now, what seems to be wrong?" i stated. "yea, why are you doing this?" said the Dwarf. the ork Belches, very rudely, "well, Me is poor, and me saw shinies, So me thinks me want, and me going to take!" the ork snorted. By then, the dwarf staggered backwords, cowering in fear. "And is it right to steal?" I had brought up. "me thinks....... me want, me have!!" the ork yelled. I reached into my pocket and took out a handfull of coins. I proceeded to hand them to the ork, in a neighborly fashion. "these shiny, me want, me keep!?" the ork declared excitedly. "sure thing, just....... stop messing with the people weaker than you" i replied. The ork then happily stormed off, staring at the shiny coins. "wow, heh heh, thanks. if you hadn't been here, I'd surely have been skinned alive!" the dwarf mentioned. "it was no problem at all" i remark, as i'm walking away. "hey! stranger!.... thanks again!" the dwarf yelled, hoping id heard. I picked up my belongings, and continued to walk home

"are you sure? It's no burden of mine to assist you." I said. "i-i'm fine...." he paused. "actually, please. do help. heh" the man holds out his hand. I grasp it firmly and assist him in getting up.

Character Name: Porterus Vander
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: I grew up in Normandor and wasn't very wealthy as a child. During my childhood my family used to live in the walls of the Elder Tree. My dad was a merchant selling anything he could to keep us from having to live in the Wilds. Even though he did a good job of that, I visited the Wilds daily. Either to hunt for some food for the family or to see my friends. By friends I mean the forest creatures, because as a kid since we were the more poor family, I didn't have many real friends. It doesn't matter much anyway, I liked the creatures just as much. By the time I turned 20, my family wanted me to move out so there were less people to feed. So I did, and when I was 22 I left my home and went to live in the city of D'hara, where I could be equal to the rest instead of having to live in the undersides of magnificent trees. In D'hara I learned my liking for the bow and arrow. I was relatively good and could hit a cannonball sized object from 20 feet. As I become better I will try to join some military force so I don't have to pay for my housing. It's just easier than having to find odd jobs to work for small amounts of money. Plus I enjoy using my bow.
Appearance: About 6 feet tall. Medium length blonde hair. Slightly muscular build because of having to forage and kill in the forests. Leather pants and quiver and bow from the forest.
Personality:Fun and outgoing, will be anyones friend if they're nice back. Does get defensive over serious things easily.
Age:22
Other: Recently has started striving to become a powerful archer.
What are your characters ambitions?: To be a better archer, and maybe join the military.

Walks up to the shopkeeper happily. Scans through the goods for buying. Sees many unbuyable goods but seems to see one more object. "What is that?" "A birch wood bow." "Where did you find it?" "Actually I made it on the way here, to Arethor." "Really?, may I try it?" I pick it up. "On what?" I pull my arrow out of my quiver and arm my bow as if it were instinct. I shoot it instantly at the hanging sign beside a tavern. The arrow makes a slapping noise. I look around at the local faces giving me the death stare. "Sorry" The dwarf looks astonished. "How much" The dwarf interrupts me. "You are good." "Thanks you." "Maybe you should give the king a visit." "Thanks but I'm not that good, so how much?" "100 Minas" I give him the money in return for the bow. "Thank you, I didn't get your name?" "It's Vinlorg, but you can call me Vin." "Thanks Vin." "No problem lad." Walks away.
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?
Stops quickly and is in shock. Realizes, and sneaks behind a nearby tree. Thinks about the circumstances and jumps out from behind the tree. "Hey there!" Runs towards the Orc. Orc turns around and throws a punch. "Ah!" Get hit to the side and to the ground. Orc runs at me. I stand up and run. The dwarf runs off with his items. The Orc keeps chasing me. I run farther than the Orc into the woods and hide in a tree. He is searching the woods. I jump down onto the Orc choking him. The Orc flips me over him and kicks me. I grab my chest in pain. The Orc walks up to me. I kick his legs out from under him and run to the nearest city.

Rushes to the mans side and helps him up. He aches in pain. I put him on my back and piggy-backs him. Picks up his money and puts it in my pocket. Walks him into town to the local Healer. "Welcome." "I have this old man, he just fell on the path outside of town, he may have a broken bone." Lays the man onto the table. "He seems very weak, but I think I know the problem." "What is it?" "He may have only a sprained ankle. Maybe not a big deal for you kids, but for elderly it is terrifyingly painful." "I can tell." The doctor starts using his white magic to fix the problem. "How long will it be?" "I am done." "Wow." The man tries to sit up but can't. The doctor helps him up. "Thank you boy" "No problem, how could anyone let an old man just sit there on a open road." "You'd be surprised." "Well I'll be off, Oh!" Hands the man his bag of Minas. "Thank you so much." "You're welcome, bye!" Leaves tent and walks toward the inner city.

In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is: The act of Roleplaying is emersing yourself in a role of a character that you usually create. Reacting to matters the way your character would and not the way /you/ would. Much like acting a role out of a play you become said character and let the character take you to where it wants to go.
In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is: Using outside information! If you are told something OOC then your character does not know this information. Using skype and TS are usual ways for meta-gaming to occur. Using information found on the forums that is OOC information and then using in IC.
In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is: Dodging every attack even though you are slow or imobile. Using attacks that are just god like and cannot be stopped... or even simply emoting chopping someones head off all in 1 emote. Power emoting is using emotes to empower your character in some way compared to another persons character.

Character Name: Piggy
Character Race: Halfling
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:
[[Please note that Piggy’s early life is supposed to be rather vague and a mystery to everyone including me to make RP more fun as Piggy slowly regains some of his memories which will all happen in character. This means huge chunks of information before the accident will be left out of the biography such as birth-place, age, some information regarding parents and even Piggy’s actual name and old home.]] When Piggy was little his parents used to read him story books passed down through their family. Piggy’s favourite book that he would always get his parents to read was the tale of a brave little piglet named Steve. Now in the story the Piglet named Steve was a runt compared to the other piglets. Steve’s mother still cared for all her piglets and gave special attention to Steve, until the story takes a twisted turn and mommy pig is slaughtered to feed a human family. The piglets started to resent Steve and without mommy pig to be there he would get picked on. Eventually Steve was driven away and escaped the farm through a small hole under the gate which the other piglets could not fit under. Steve was now alone and scared, he wondered around the unkown land and smelled something strange. As Steve turned around a massive Orc stood over him and swung his axe down at it. Piggy’s parents always told him that story was that Orcs are vicious and will kill you when you’re weakest, but Piggy took the story a different way thinking if the other piglets were with Steve nothing would’ve happened and they would be happy!
Piggy didn’t know that his parents actually looked down on him thinking he might be brain damaged. His parents always sheltered Piggy and even sometimes lock him in his room so they do not need to deal with him. During Year 37 the plague had completely decimated his parents small farm and they were forced to move and find shelter. However having to drag Piggy along was strenuous on his parents and food was dwindling within their small supply. As they traveled Asulon looking for greener pastures a small tribe of Goblins tried to rob Piggy and his parents. The taller black goblin swung his hammer towards the mother first for her insolence but Piggy’s father pushed mother out of the way and Piggy was struck on the head. Piggy’s parents ran away from the scene, leaving their poor, unconscious son behind. The goblins took Piggy’s unconscious body back to their camp discussing whether to eat him or not. The Elder of the tribe of Goblins walked out of his tent along with some fe-gobos and the brought with them woolen pig costumes! Their plan was to dress up Piggy and themselves and disguise as Pigs and sneak into Arethor to steal as much food as they could. After much arguing about bringing Piggy along and not eating him they decided they would use him as a distraction! Piggy eventually awoke with a massive headache, unsure who he was, where he came from, even his own name was a blank to him! When Piggy looked around he saw Goblins dressed as Pigs, unsure of anything Piggy looked around unsure of how to communicate, what those things were even! The Goblins chuckled and began to dance around Piggy chanting “Oink oink oink!”, Piggy looked at himself then back the Pig dressed Gobos and began to dance around with them and chanting “Oink oink oink!”. The Elder waved his arms signaling to start the march; Piggy followed them until a group of humans surrounded them. The Goblins and Piggy remained perfectly still, slightly making small pig noises before they began to walk around the humans making their way to Arethor’s farms. As they crawled into a barn the Goblins quickly got to their feet and ran around looking for food storage of some sort. Piggy sat down watching the Goblins run around until a booming voice was heard from across a field! The Goblins yelped and motioned for Piggy to run towards the noise, Piggy still having a hard time at understanding hand gestures decided to turn and crawl towards the noise. He walked up to the very old farmer in the fields walking towards his barn screaming at the top of his lungs. The old farmer grinned somehow thinking Piggy was infact a real pig! The old farmer chuckled and picked Piggy up and brought him back to his small farm home.
Year 58, Piggy has been raised by the Old farmer as an actual pig! The old farmer watched as Piggy grew from a runty pig into a large pig who he loved. Feeding Piggy only the best of slop for years, and keeping the other pigs far from Piggy. During their time together Piggy would speak some common words and to the amazement of the Old farmer thought he had a magical talking pig! Piggy knew nothing about being anything other than a pig now and grew accustomed to eating the slop. However in Year 58 the Old farmer was sick in bed, unbeknownst to Piggy the old farmer had somehow been fighting the plague for all those years and has finally given in and died early in the morning on his bed. Piggy shook the Old Farmer until the now fresh corpse fell onto the floor. Piggy squeeled and ran around the room unsure of what was happening. Piggy ran out of the house and began to run out in the fields, running in circles unsure of what to do. Piggy ran onto the path to Arethor and curled into a ball squeeling and oinking and spouting random bits of common he learned. A knight approached Piggy thinking it was a Pig until he looked closer and realized it was a Halfling in a woolen pig costume. The knight sighed heavily and picked Piggy up and brought him to a carriage telling the driver to get him to the Vale. As this was happening Piggy pretended to be dead hoping everything would be okay, and as he did so he slowly drifted off to sleep. When he awoke he was on a small boat heading towards the Vale.
Personality: Piggy is a very quirky character. Dressing as a woolen pig, acting like a pig and having a very hard time communicating in common. Piggy is very adventurous character and is always curious about what others are doing. He has a strange love for scraps of food and rolling around in dirt. Piggy also enjoys the sound of running water.
What are your characters ambitions?: Make many friends and travel around Asulon on an adventure to uncover Piggy’s lost memories! Basically as my RP progresses with Piggy he will slowly regain some memories and eventually increase his vocabulary. Also a side ambition is stay as a Pig forever!
Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: Piggy has a low vocabulary and will try to use other means to speak or get a point across such as hand motions or playing charades.

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?
Piggy hears a loud raspy voice shouting across the stone city. He quickly scurries around to locate the person as a small scent of booze and fresh bread floats around the air. Piggy smells the air deeply and begins to follow the scent which leads him over to the poor Dwarf. Piggy hops over next to the Dwarf and begins to rub up against him Oinking and sniffing him trying to find the bread. The Dwarf unsure what to make of the situation quickly begins to push Piggy away grabbing onto the bread he left on his table. Piggy notices the bread and squeezes against the Dwarf reaching for the bread, trying to grab onto it to get a small nibble. The Dwarf takes this action as a threat and swings his fist, hitting Piggy in the face. Piggy flies backwards holding onto his now bleeding nose, squeeling in pain. The Knights of Arethor quickly surround the Dwarf and Piggy and a small quarrel begins between the Dwarf and the Knights. Both Piggy and the Dwarf are forcibly removed from Arethor, Piggy now scared of the dwarf begins to run away in about every direction possible, the Dwarf sighs turning around walking to the nearest tavern. 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?
Piggy would approach the situation with a bit of caution, sniffing the air for food. Piggy would approach the Orc first and attempt to sniff it before heading over to the dwarf and sniffing him. If the situation continues to escalate into a fight Piggy would most likely be caught in the middle and possibly hurt by either side. Any sign of escape during the fight Piggy would take it and run until he can’t run no more. Piggy would try to befriend the Dwarf or Orc by embracing either of them if the situation seems to calm down with Piggy’s presence. Piggy would playfully Oink at the two if they continued to argue and try to use some common to communicate with them. 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?:
Piggy rushes over to the pile of coins and begins to roll around in them throwing them up in the air and playing with them until he gets bored. Once bored Piggy’s attention would return to the old man, he would remember the Old Farmer who took care of him and try and help the Old Man up off the ground. Piggy would ensure the Old Man is not injured and sniff him for any food. If any food is smelt off the Old Man Piggy would playfully bounce atop the man searching for the food. When the old man begins to leave Piggy would walk beside him to help the Old Man keep his balance. Piggy would hope wherever he is now going he will get food. Piggy will also try and make friends with the Old Man, and try to communicate with him with his oinks and broken common. If the old man and Piggy become friends he will most likely enter the role of another mans pet animal, that is if the Old Man does not realize Piggy is a Halfling.

He planned to follow in his father's footsteps in becoming a weaponsmith, but his father was sent off to battle the Orc marauders and defend the forests from their destructive fires, but on his way to the battle he
was trapped by the clever goblins and forced to make great weapons for the Orc and their sub-races. Upon learning of these events Tucareus decided to use his skills as a weapon-smith and also a master swordsman and ax-man, having learned these skills by training with his father's weapons, to kill all owners of his father's weapons who intend to use it for ill will and then use their weapons to continue his quest of returning the legendary weapons and freeing his father.

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? I would approach the dwarf and ask him, "Sir, let me see your wares for being a dwarf I am sure you have quite the collection of precious jewels." He would then open up his chest of jewels and give me a quick description of each item and its worth. I would pretend to be interested in the low value items just to be kind to this poor dwarf, but I would then take a great interest in his stock of gold, diamond, and iron. I would tell him," You have quite the supply of iron, gold, and diamonds there, is it possible for me to trade you one of my father's magnificent weapons for some of each different ore/gem? Now don't think that I am trying to make an unfair deal here, my father was one of the most renowned Dark Elf weapon-smiths in all of Asulon until he was taken captive by goblins. Even now in captivity he still creates some of the greatest weapons the world has ever known, some even say that his masterpieces are equal in lethality to Iblees's flaming blade. Dear dwarf I will make you a deal, you find a way to make a trade for this blade to a shaman, goblin, or nomad and you can keep the goods from the trade as well as the weapon, after of course I end the life of the wretch who dared to trade for it." The dwarf trader would then accept my trade and I would hide and wait for the second trade to take place, and seeing it complete I would sneak up and assassinate the new owner of the blade and continue to give the blade back to the dwarf trader. 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 intervene on behalf of the dwarf telling the behemoth of an Orc that the dwarf is unarmed and that the Orc's honor binds him to a fair fight. My next step depends upon the Orc's actions. If he sees the folly in his attack and give the dwarf a fair and fighting chance, then I will watch the fight which is sure to be a grand battle. If, however, the Orc ignores my logic and continues his threats of violence, then I will leave and flank around the Orc and use my dark elven skills with a blade to make quick work of the rage driven Orc. 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?: I will take a moment to consider my options, I could help the old man up and find him another walking stick, pick up all the Minas that fell and take the bag with the fallen Minas, or sit their and laugh at his misfortune. I decide after a few seconds to help the old man regain his footing and tell him to wait for me to return with a more suitable walking stick for the rugged beauty of Asulon. He thanks me for the help I gave him and when offered a few Minus I accept then leave, only to return a short while later with a large traveler's coat I purchased with the few Minus from him and some of my own Minus. I then help the elderly man into the coat and tell him to hide his Minas in one of the many coat pockets to help conceal his small amount of money from those who would wish ill will upon him.

Character Name: Maletone
Character Race: Dwarf
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: My character is about 4’5” with a yellow pinkish skin tone. He comes from a family of rich miners who live in Mount Ire he was born into the cave family of dwarves his goal when he was little was to find the purple diamond a rare mystical object that he believes to have been formed when the world of Asulon was forming in the lava as the dwarves believe even if the Druids might not agree with the elves etc. A few nights before he turned 25 (dwarf years) I went out hunting for some food as we love our drink and food but back to the story. As I was searching for boar I heard an ear-shattering scream! I turned around to see a fine stream of blood trailing off into the thickening tress crowded together. I followed the trail until I found a human with a hoe. He was dead. I saw a shiny necklace and two names. One was the city of Arethor the other I was perplexed by it was the name Impedia. I believe it is a long lost love or his wife. I kept on going through the cold dwarven mountains. Whoever this was he must be well conditioned for I ran out of breath before I could see him. I climbed back up out of the snow and ran to see the next victim. Once again a necklace was around the victim bearing the name Arethor but this time the woman's name was lkinlad. I tracked down the killer to a cottage far away. The killer was an elf from a guild of assassins. He wouldn't answer my questions about why he killed those innocent people. I turned my back on him for one second and he takes out his knife nearly dicing me! I get up and make a swift move. He stumbles and falls on a table where I stab him. This was the first time I killed. About 5 years later we are at war with the Elves. Many are dead and I am lying on my stomach trying to look dead. I take one breath and an elf spots me. His bow is aimed at my heart. I look up and see another dwarf. The dwarf is shot with the arrow and falls. He sounds like a sack of potatoes hitting the ground! I rush back to the camp but everything is gone. Pots are missing but then I see my friends dead on the ground. I turn to see a dwarf running off with blood splattered on his face. As I turn back I see the King coming towards me and I kneel. But instead of the words “rise”, I feel his hands around my throat closing in. The last words I hear are "why did you do it?". It's been four years and I've been rotting away my life in prison. During the guard’s shift I broke out of jail. I see the light it is time to start anew.
What are your characters ambitions?: To find the purple diamond and get revenge

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 am traveling though the city of Arethor it is not particularly nice for me due to the humans close relations with elves. I see a dwarf shopkeeper in the city yelling, "Fine wares for sale all you need is here!" I approach the stand and scan him over. He's a mountain dwarf I can tell by his fiery red hair and strong arms. I say to him "what are you selling?" He replays "everything!" I reply, "What is your finest sword?" He kneels down and brings out a sword of diamonds with a glowing red blade. I ask, "Where is it from?" He gazes to the mountains and replies "this blade was forged in mount ire the forge where the coal glows with such a heat it has the ability to create mystical weapons! Where they say the world started being created from the heat!" I feel the warm blade on my skin and hand him 200 Minas. He hands me the sword and I walk off into the crowds.
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 am alone with no companions wandering the Oren road what am I thinking?! I keep on walking past trees and mountains and come upon some travelers I listen to what they say, the dwarf says "You orcs think your better than us dwarves eh? Well c'mon take me!" The Orc laughs and says " Ha you think you can take a mighty Orc? I could kick you halfway around the map!" I see this will not end well so I step in and say "You are both evenly matched this would end in a stalemate." The Orc and dwarf look at each other and keep on arguing I talk again but this time with a different approach. "You know master dwarf I saw a gold mine a few miles away!" His eyes light up and he's out of sight running towards the direction I pointed. I wander on my way and leave the Orc to his own doings.
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 defenseless man. What does your character do?: I was on my way to Malinor for some trading when along the path I hit a 2-way path. I saw a man walking next to me and came over to see if he knew the way. Before I could say "excuse me" he fell down and the poor mans Mina's fell all over the path. He could not get up so I thought to myself "should I take his coin or not?" I looked upon the old man as I he moaned in pain. I bent down and said "don't worry you'll be alright." I picked up his coin, took out my leather and made him a new satchel. With the woods conveniently nearby I picked up some sticks and made him a new cane. As he stood up he asked "why did you help an old man when you could have taken my money?" I responded, "Because I saw you hurt and knew it was not right." I left him in peace and set off to Malinor.

Character Name: Regil
Character Race:Human
Character biography -Regil comes from a small, unknown country. He is 27. He was greatly known for his skills in agility and poisons. He worked at a simple potions shop in a rich neighborhood, and he lived with his fiance Katris and his daughter Lana. Regil was never fond of politics or current events, but one day, somthing set him off. He was working in his office, brewing a deadly blend of poison, when his boss barged in. He screamed for him to get out. Regil looked up, very confused. In a flash a large spear was dug into his bosses back, ripping from his chest. As the lifeless body fell to the hard floor, Regil caught a view of the scene. Guards and outlaws were lashed in a violent battle. Women and men were killed by the guards mercilessly, and children were chained and dragged to prison carts. The outlaws faught fearlessly, yet most were weak. The guards seemed to be after weapons and supplies as well. The guard who had killed his boss charged at Regil, who quickly dodged. Regil drew his antique knife, a shiny iron dagger, and quickly swiped it into his toxic brew. In a dazzling upper cut, the guard was on the ground, slowly dieing from the poison. When Regil got home, he found 3 gaurds in his home. 2 had his 12 year old daughter Lana chained up, and the other help a knife to his wife Katrises neck. With his vials of poison strapped to his belt, Regil snapped the first ones neck, holding Katris. In a flash of his knife, the other was dead. When he looked up, what he saw set him tumbling backward. The final guard, a man he recognized from the pub, held a cross bow to his daughters head. The mans scar flashed a deep, bright red. Regil, full of panic, threw the knife as fast as he could at the guards head. With another flash of the scar, the guard was on the other side of his daughter, the knife missing completly. In the next moment, a large bolt was wedged into his daughters skull. Katris screamed, running out of the door and into the packed streats. 2 more guards came into the home, seizing Regil and chaining him. The killer of his daughter looked over him, smirking. He flicked his knife and made an identical cut of his scar on Regils wrist. The guard then left the other 2 to take Regil to prison. They knocked him out. Once in the prison, Regil learned he was one of the very few adults. He was in one cell, with 5 others. 1 child, 3 men, and 1 woman. All shared the same cuts on there wrists. The cells around them, around 100, were packed full of children. Most seemed to share the cuts, some were dead. It was hard to see. Regils cell mates told him what happend to the once perfect kingdom. They said they were apart of the hidden allience. A small, yet powerful group in the kingdom. With few adults, they ran the streets with the children and kept the royal power under control. The king was possessed by a powerful necromancer. The allience tried all they could to kill the king, yet could not succeed. It turned out that Regils boss was one of the head memebers of the group. The kings royal guard had mistaken Regil for his boss. They had immprissoned all of the members, and killed the rest. Regil then stayed in the cell for a week, sleeping little and eating what seemed to be human flesh. One night, many guards came into the hallway of cells. They told all prisoners of the curse that had been placed upon them. They said the cuts will soon spread accross your entire body. One inch every hour. After a weak they will all be thrown into the ocean, tied up to die of the salt water pain, or drown. The next week was torture, as Regil watched around him as he, and everyone else grew deep cuts every hour. When the week was over, A mass of guards lead the prisoners, one cell at a time outside. Regils cell came last. It was midnight, and when he was outside by the docks, the water was almost all red with blood. The smell of flesh wafted around the docks, sickening even the guards. He watched as the three men were kicked into the ocean, there feet and wrists tied. There were some screams before they fell into the water, but after that it was just gargells. Regil was pulled up next. The guard put his foot to regils back, and he felt pressure. Suddenly, time seemed to stop. His cut was glowing red. Just as the first guards did. He saw the light emmiting from his waist, as that was were his hands were tied. The cut burned the worst pain he had ever felt. In a flash the ropes binding his wrists were burnt off, and this sudden change sent the guard backward. Regil spun around, not understanding anything, as his cut grew a deep blue. All of his other cuts felt freezing. He was cold. Very cold. He held up his hands to examin them, and felt a deep power. Not thinking, he flowed the inner cold depths of power to his hands, and in result, froze the guards armor solid. In a flash a large ice bolt was formed, and dug into the guards skull. Regil looked around, and ran as fast as he could. The streets were empty, and he soon found his home. He grabbed his knife, Still in the wall, his potion belt, with all his poisons, some clothes, food, and a map. He ran for days, only stopping for an hour or so at a time to rest. He felt this inner power growing, and he felt always cold. By the time he reached this new land, he was a Cryomancer. The sourceror of ice.
[color="#FF8C00"]What are your characters ambitions?: In this new land Regil hopes to find Katris. He also is on a hunt to kill the guard who did this to him and killed his daughter. Yet in the meen time, he shall lay low. Perhaps open a potion shop of some kind, and get to know the land.
Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here: I shall attach it at the end of this post
Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: Regil is good at making friends, but is short tempored at some times.

My shoes are black leather but the other clothes are brown. I wear long-sleeve pants and short-sleeve shirt. I have golden skin for being in the sun a lot. I have chocolate brown eyes with a large amount of jet black hair that is very messy.
Personality: I am a friendly guy that wont attack unless necessary. I have a fear of the Orcs for there big size and strength scares me. I like to have people to talk to and lots to do (I get bored easy). I am a good person to trust if you need help with anything (as long as it doesn't break any rules). If you get me mad I will tend to yell due to my lack of self control.
History: When I was a boy I lived near the orc territory. My dad would go there to trade and sell things. One day my dad never came home... he had been attack by a drunk orc that had been angered before by my dads appearance. I had before liked the orcs ,but now I have a great fear that I will have the same fate as my father did.[/color]

If they magically know something that they aren't supposed to know, that's a form of Meta-Gaming.

In-Character Details
Character Name: Zan-Loko 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: I grew up as a young elf brought into a small family. We lived in a nice large oak tree next to a old forgotten road. We rarely saw many visitors. Some were men of great posture who roamed around to seek for things they had yet to decide. Some were dwarves. Searching for new caves to explore and gain riches. And some were fellow elves, who we stopped on their way and invited them in for some nice talk on the outside world. I knew nothing. I only heard the mutters of some stories of wars and death. I was still young. I had very wavy blonde hair and bright blue eyes. My ears were very pointy that sometimes, I thought I could cut myself with them. I was very small, not average for my blood line. We loved having elves come visit us. For we never got to hear much of what happened on the outside "World". But what we hated most, was the terrible sound of coming Orc squads. We would hide and attempt to make our house look like a normal tree. It was quite easy. The Orcs' feet stomping on the ground could be heard from miles away, or as it seemed. Time carried on as morning became night and night became day. Until one day my fortune would change.
On a nice summer day when the sun was about to set, my family heard the constant stomp of feet. By the speed of the stomps, we came to a conclusion that they were Orcs. We took down all our decorations and made our nice tree house look like a normal plain oak tree. When the orcs arrived it was nearly mid night. The orcs wished to rest for all of them were getting tired and hungry. So when they spotted our tree, they said, "That's a fine looking tree there!" They decided to camp in front of our tree. But the orcs wanted some fire to roast their nice dinner, a couple of poor deer. So they looked at our tree and realized that there were loads of branches not so high of the ground. So they grabbed a hatchet and cut off a branch. It just so happened that branch was hollow and held a couple of clay plates. The orcs realized right away that there was something in the tree. So my father grabbed some food and wrapped it up. He took hold of his rusty stone sword and handed it to me. He prepared me for a journey and opened the back hatch for me. I was very emotional. This was the last time I would see my pale skinned father. With nice brown hair and hazel eyes. And my mother, with blonde hair and bright green eyes. It almost looked as if her eyes were emeralds. I let one tear drop fall until I jumped out the back hatch. Then I made my journey to the main elf city of Malinor. That was the last day I saw my parents.

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? (I would start a conversation.) Dwarf, what are you doing in a mighty city like this? This is not suit for your liking is it master dwarf? Wouldn't you prefer a cave of some sort? Also, what do you have for sale today? Do you have any food of sorts or tools that I could use? (Bargain with the dwarf)
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 walk up to the orc and dwarf and start a conversation) My dear friends, why do you fight? There is no need for this sort of violence. But Master Orc, do not take your violence out on this poor dwarf. If you have any sort of problem please take it out on me. (if orc prepares to fight attempt to parry not deal a killing blow)
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?: I would first help the old man up and find something that could support his weight. I have no need for his coins. I would then pick his coins up and try to find another bag or some sort of item to store the Minas.

Have you read and understood and agree to the rules?:Yes, I have.
How did you hear about the Lord of the Craft?:While on another Minecraft server one of my friends told me over Skype that he had found out about this server.

In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is:I believe roleplaying is the act of taking on a unique character with one-of-a-kind traits and participating in an ever evolving world in which the actions committed by the character in question define who that character actually is. I believe roleplaying is a great way to experience what we cannot experience in real life. It is like a portal to another world.
In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is:I believe that metagaming is the situation in which information received out of character is used by a player to make decisions effecting the players actions. For example if I have a friend who knows of a secret attack on the city in which I live in and he tells me over Skype or in a person to person meeting an I leave the city at the time that I know the city will be attacked in order to protect myself.
In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is:I believe poweremoting is the act of throwing aside all feelings of the games true spirit to accomplish a goal. I believe poweremoting puts no interest in the storyline of a particular game. I believe it is basically abandoning the spirit of the game in a selfish way to ensure personal gain or mastery of the tasks in the game in question.
Character Name:Mycharacter's name is Scheldonn.
Character Race:My character is 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:
As a young boy Scheldonn had only one wish. To prove that despite his size, speed, and strength, he could compete with his three brothers. He was the smallest and youngest of the bunch. Standing at only four feet tall at thirteen years old, he was a foot and a half shorter than the next to youngest brother, Whillyam, who was just one year older. The boys had competitions of strength. They would see who could go out, find the largest stone, and bring it back to their home. Sheldonn always lost to the others. They had foot races. They would race around the outskirts of the village, and by the time Scheldonn comleted his lap, his brother would already be inside rehydrating themselves. he was forced to stay at home as his three brothers went with their father to hunt. All of his friends from the school were also bigger than he was. He was always picked last whenever they wold play games involving teams. Heaven forbid he try and play tag with them. his childhood was very boring, for even though he worked the hardest he could, he could never beat his brothers or his friends in any type of event that involved physical labor. He did however have one thing that the others didn't-
He had his wit.
While he was at home as the others played outside or hunted, Scheldonn would study his books for school. he would play thinking games that only required one person. he understood that his body would probably never be in the condition to beat the others, but his mind grew every day. He grew in knowledge of history, arithmatic, writing, and most importantly, he grew in logic. His critical thinking and problem solving skills were unbelievable. The strength his mind possessed allowed hm to beat even the most experienced veterans of chess. His mind was his most powerful tool, and he used it to full effect.
One day, as he was walking home from school, he came upon his eldest brother, Johnathann, trying to defend himself as best he could against the village delinquent, Thommaas. Scheldonn dropped his books and raced to his brothers side to aid him in combat. Johnathann's nose was broken and his lip was busted. Thommaas would have no trouble in the task of causing relentless pain to rain down on Johnathann. Johnathann was on the brink of falling out, when Scheldonn, despite his miniscule strength, was able to outsmart Thommaas. Thommaas ended up being tripped by Schelonn while trying to charge him, whichin this case all Scheldonn had to do was step to the side and stick his foot out. Thommaas' jaw hid the hard earth with a deafening crunch. Some of his teeth flew out, blood poured from the empty spaces in his gums, and he had accidentally bitten off the tip of his tongue. He let out a bloodcurdling scream loud enough to awaken the dead from their endless slumber. It was at this point Scheldonn recognized his true power. This was the greatest accomplishment he had ever earned. He realized that the endless hours spent studying and increasing his mental capacity when he ever so dearly wished to be outside with the others playing games or racing or hunting were not hours spent in vain.
It is at this point we pick up Scheldonn's story, he is now seventeen years old and has only grown eight inches. He was preparing himself for a great journey across Asulon. His journey was not simply to get to a destination, but to test himself. He challenged himself to be the best he could be at everything, but mainly to make sure that the innocent he encountered along his journey were safe.
What are your characters ambitions?:To test his mental capabilities and increase his physical ability, but mainly to ensure the safety of others.

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 walked up tho the dwarf and asked him what he was selling. He replied with "Stone tools". I was already equipped with Iron and diamond equipment and stone equipment was basically obsolete to me since I had much better equipment. I had some extra inventory space and some currency to spare so I decided why not, help the guy out. I gave him a few extra minas than I owed him and when he told me I gave him too much I said not to worry about it.
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 quickly distracted the Orc to draw the attention away from the outmatched Dwarf. I knew that this could end up with me dead, but it was a possible sacrifice i was willing to make. The Orc asked me if he wanted to fight, and I replied "Yes". I fought for my life hoping the dwarf would show up any time to lend a hand, but as i saw him running towards us, I struck a lucky blow with my diamond sword, which was the last required strike to cut this beast's life short. I asked the dwarf if he was okay and when we both got all our things squared away we went along our own seperate pathways.

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?:I quickly sprinted to the man's side and asked him if he was hurt. Once I was sure he was unhurt I helped him to his feet and gave him one of my fresh sticks for him to use. I gathered up all of his minas for him and returned them all to him. I offered to accompany him back to wherever he was going. Even though he said no I trailed him just so that if anything else happened he would not be alone and left vulnerable. He made it safely to his destination and I departed to go on my own path continuing towards Malinor.

Do you have a good grip on English grammar and the English language?:
Yes, I have an "A" in Honors English at my local high school, which is one of the top in the state, so I believe that I am quite capable at writing intelligently in the English language.
Have you had any previous experience in roleplaying?:
As roleplaying is one of my favorite past times, I have of course played on other roleplaying games. I was first introduced to RPGs a couple of years ago when my friend brought a DnD gaming set. We played around for a while, and our game failed utterly, but I had gotten a taste of roleplaying and I wanted more. Next, I played a game called Space Station 13, which was a 2d spaceman simulator. I played mainly on the Baystation12 server which was devoted to hardcore, serious RP. When another friend introduced me to Minecraft, I looked for a Minecraft RP server and stumbled upon Lord of the Craft.

I have read the rules multiple times and agree to follow them. I believe that they are simply common sense and any intelligent person would follow them in heart.

As I said previously, I was simply looking for a Minecraft roleplaying server. I typed "best minecraft roleplay server" into my browser, and ended up with Lord of the Craft and a satisfied craving for roleplaying.

In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is:
Roleplaying essentially means that one is changing one's behavior to match a theoretical character. The player takes what they know about the character to act out what the theoretical character would do in certain situations. In simple terms, it basically means to pretend to be someone else in a game.
In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is:
The act of metagaming is when a player uses "out-of-character" knowledge, or knowledge that they IRL have, to influence the actions and knowledge of an "in character" character.
In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is:
The act of power-emoting is when a player uses emotes incorrectly to force other players into certain actions, without giving them the chance to act. For example, instead of emoting "McBandit attempts to stab McVictim," the player would emote "McBandit stabs McVictim with the knife in the heart, killing him instantly."
Character Name:
Iskandar Nycerusk
Character Race:
Northern 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:
Iskandar groans, rubbing the grime from his dusty brown eyes. He folds his dusty cloak and wraps it around him to protect from the cold. As he watches the morning sun rise, he contemplates his previous life. He remembers a grinning, friendly young adult with chocolate-brown hair and the beginnings of a bushy beard. The teenager has the typical build of a blacksmith: average height and muscular arms.
Iskandar was born in a small farming village on the borders of the Wilds. Life was happy and relatively peaceful, disregarding the occasional bandit raid. His parents were not rich, yet not poor. His father was blacksmith, forging farm tools and picks for the local residents. His mother was a relatively unskilled herbalist, barely managing to cure the basic ailments of the villagers. As a child, Iskandar and his companions would romp through the outskirts, play ball in the fields, run away from angry farmers, and listen to stories in the local eatery. At night, when all the children were to be in bed, he would sneak out of bed and peer out of his window into the night. Beyond the fortified walls, he could see the Wilds, teeming with life...and danger. Even as a child, a seed of curiosity was planted within.
Iskandar's childhood was uneventful. He was raised well, strong and healthy from his father, and a relatively sharp mind, like his mother. His parents decided that he was to continue his father's work as a blacksmith and, of course, remain stranded in the tiny village for the entirety of his days. An obedient child, he agreed to allow his father to train him in the art of smithing. However, the seed of curiosity sown within was know a sapling, yearning to see the world. As Iskandar matured, his relationship with his parents worsened. He began to question their judgement, wondering if they were really the enlightened people he had always thought them as. When Arjun was 21, his parents told him that he had to leave the household and make his own life in the world. He took this chance to leave the tiny village that had been his home for years, and explore the world. He grabbed his pack and sword and hit the road with an open mind and a kind heart.
What are your characters ambitions?:
Arjun biggest desire is to travel the world, meet new people, and settle down somewhere exciting. He also has a side goal of joining the army to see the world for a good cause.
Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here:

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character:
Arjun is a pretty friendly guy. He's openminded to new things. His only flaws are that he is very ignorant of the outside world, having grown up in a secluded village and that he is very innocent and naive, considering everyone to be friendly.
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?
Arjun raises his hand in a friendly greeting and walks over to the dwarf. "Hail, how goes life?" Arjun asks. The dwarf grunts and says, "Meager rations and a lumpy bed." Arjun chuckles as he relates to the dwarf. Arjun reaches into his pocket and pulls out a couple of emeralds. He hands them to the dwarf and says, "Say, I hear that there's a nice eatery in town. Why don't you close up shop and we can go share tall-tales for a while?" The dwarf grins, pocketing the money, and says, "With company like 'ye, that doesn't sound like a half-bad idea." Arjun helps the dwarf carry some chests inside the shop, and they walk off towards a bustling tavern. Who knows? A friend in the merchant trade is always useful.
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?
Arjun approaches the pair carefully with this hand on his trusty blade, even though it is a needle compared to the Orc. Being a kind and benevolent person, Arjun will always try to mediate a fight, but he is not afraid to accept a duel to protech himself from bullies. "Say, you two, why don't you two calm down?" The Orc grinds his teeth and grunts, "None of 'ye business, puny human." At this point, the angered Orc is unlikely to back down. While Arjun pities the dwarf, he must always protect himself first. In most cases like this, Arjun would walk away and alert the nearest guard to the situation.
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?:
My character would always assist the elderly. Arjun helps the old man to his feet and checks him over for injuries. Arjun asks the old man where his destination is. As the old man is talking, Arjun bends down and gathers the coins into the bag and hands it to the man. The old man looks to be in poor condition, suffering from multiple ailments. He would never get to Malinor without assisstance. Arjun pulls out his sword and chops a small branch off of a tree. He strips the spiked bark off with a hunting knife and hands the walking stick to the old man. He helps the man walk off towards Malinor and refuses any payment.

In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is: when you act as someone else and talk like them
In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is: Meta gaming is when you know something OOC that you in-character would not know. For example: a friend tells you on skype the location of an awesome treasure stack! But your character does not know were it is, does she/he not? He/she have to discover it first, by someone telling them or the location being written in a book.
In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is: power-emoting is when someone does a RP move that is highly overpowered and "kills" people just like that, for example "Casts a fireball on you, and you die". In eccence, it makes you win ALL the time.

Character Name: Rikoigeach
Character Race: (Cave) Dwarf.
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:
Rikoigeach grew to adulthood within the vaulted rooms and rocky plains of Kal'Dwain. Born to ironworkers, he took to the forge and became a proficient, if not exceptional, blacksmith. His dedication to the craft earned him a comfortable living within the hold, and there he dwelled for several seasons. In his fifth season, the smith decided to go on a prospecting expedition, and he returned a changed dwarf. Whether it was the songs and campfires, the prospect of new material with which to craft, or the exotic locales, Rikoigeach took to the trails in a joyous and rather undwarflike manner. While delighted to return to the Hold, where downpours did not threaten a good night's sleep, the dwarf found himself itching to explore more of Asulon.
For a time, Rikoigeach was content. He busied himself with smelter and anvil, producing various trinkets and crafts. One day, Rikoigeach finished his work in the forge, carefully cleaned the work space, and left, closing the door behind him. His parents had passed some seasons before, and his siblings had left for other Holds; it was time, Rikoigeach decided, for a change of pace. He would travel the world for a time, no more than a season. It would clear his head, let him get back to work in Kal'Dwain. He dispatched notices to the Holds of his remaining family, informed his bemused acquaintances about his plans, and made the requisite prayers at the tombs of his ancestors. And with that, the dwarf left Kal'Dwain with another prospecting company, planning to return whenever he felt the time was right. Rikoigeach did not return the next season, or the season after that. He has not yet returned at all, and well into his ninth season the smith continues his travels. Asulon was much bigger than he had expected, and each time the dwarf considered turning homeward, he would stumble upon a new road laid out before him. There is time enough yet for him to rest in a Hold in his dotage; for now, he is hale and happy, more than willing to continue exploring the land.
A traveler stumbling across Rikoigeach will likely find himself amused by the itinerant dwarf. His clothes are well-worn leaather, and with his dark skin it can be difficult at times to tell exactly where jerkin ends and flesh begins. His nose is bulbous and pudgy, protruding out from a wrinkled face framed by a wild halo of hair and a long, plaited beard. Should the traveler accompany the dwarf in his sojourns, he will likely find the smith agreeable, though testy while working on mechanisms or in the smithy. Rikoigeach does not often stay long in one place; his eye is drawn ever to the horizon, where unseen devices and new landscapes await. Those journeying with the dwarf will find themselves frequently eschewing travel by boat for longer, more solid paths; Rikoigeach mistrusts large expanses of water, and generally avoids crossing them unless there is a strong need.
What are your characters ambitions?: To explore, to build, and to discover new mechanisms and methods of construction. Mostly to explore.
Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here:
Is there anything else you would like to say about your character:
Rikoigeach is not particularly fond of ducks or other waterfowl; he doesn't think birds living in water is natural.
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?
"Hail, friend!" I call out, stumping my way over to the merchant's stall, walking stick in hand. "What brings you to Arethor?"
"Business, if I can manage," he replies, smiling at the sight of a fellow dwarf. I nod, tossing my staff idly from hand to hand as I glance about his wares. "Are you looking for anything in particular?" He asks me hopefully. "An amulet for luck on the return trip, perhaps? A hat to keep the rain off your nose and out of your beard?"
"Doubt I'll be heading back anytime soon," I say, getting ready to leave. "And the rain won't be here for another hour or tw-" I'm interrupted by a fat raindrop splashing on my nose, trickling down my face and running into the thick hairs covering my upper lip. I grumble, wiping at it, as the merchant tries to keep the laughter from his face. "How much for the hat?" I say, daring him with a look to make any comment about the irony of weather.
"Three and eight," he says, mantaining his composure.
"Two and four," I say, "and I won't tell the guards about the robbery you're pulling."
"This is high quality leather," he insists. "I can't go below three and two--you'll run me out of business."
I depart some time later as the rain begins to fall in earnest, my purse lighter, but my nose dry.
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?
"Oi!" I shout out, hoping my voice doesn't shake. That is one big Orc--Uruk, if I'm right--and I'm not sure even two dwarves can fight him. The honor of a one-on-one fight is all well and good, but honor won't keep you from bleeding out on a lonely highway when you've managed to enrage a creature like that. "Get off him, you, or we'll have words." I raise my staff threateningly. It's good wood--solid, old, gnarled. It will probably withstand two hits from whatever the Orc's carrying. Maybe three, if I'm lucky.
"Go away, short creature," rumbles the beast. "Not your business. Go away or I'll get angry."
"He's a dwarf, you," I say, thinking fast. "That makes it my business." A thought occurs to me. "Now, you can fight us both, and you'll probably win, but I'll bet you that we can hold you off long enough for that caravan just out of sight to arrive." I wave nonchalantly toward the horizon, hoping the brute will fall for what I now realize is an utterly unconvincing lie.
The Orc looks at me for a long time. "That is a bad bet," he says, finally, before turning to look at the other dwarf. "Lucky for you there is the care-of-vans coming. Now go."
We scurry off quickly into the night, hoping to lose the creature before he realizes that he's been tricked.
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?:
I sigh. Humans don't understand the value of a good walking stick. I'm sure as stone not about to give him mine; it wouldn't be the right height for him anyway. I grumble as I bend over to pick up the purse and coins, palming a decent number for my troubles as I return them to the man and help him begin searching the nearby trees for a suitable replacement. He's lucky I'm an honest dwarf; there are bandits aplenty out who would gladly separate a man from his coin. As for my payment, well, it's only fair. He's delayed me quite a bit by falling down and making me stay near him for a time, and I'm sure he won't begrudge me the coin. Not that I need to let him know, of course. Humans can be selfish at times, and I wouldn't want to make the relationship awkward.

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 remove a few hammers from my belt and approach the orc, staring up at him i firmly make my ultimatum. "Leave here, and no harm will come to ye." I smirk, "Or, we can take the other option."
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?:
I help the poor man to his feet and begin to collect up his gold pieces into one of my empty belt pouches. After filling the pouch, I hand it to the old man and strike up a conversation. "So, where are ye headed?" "Oh, to the north" He replies. "Well, it appears ye could use a new walking stick. Come, follow me, i'll get you suited up nicely." We go into the woods a little ways until I find a stick long enough that I can reach and begin chopping away, fasioning the man a new walking stick. After i finish my work, he attempts to pay me and i refuse. We go out seperate ways.

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:
I was born into a poor family from the town of Shadowvale. Not expecting much. We were happy to all have each other. Life was fine. and simple. I would leave every day to visit our town's Scribe, for I was his apprentice. But that all changed, one gloomy evening. it was a quiet night, too quiet actually. until i heard creaky steps of someone.... something climbing up the stairs. Being a kid, I hid under the covers, terrified. Shaking in fear, I heard a lusty scream of death, a window breaking, and something going out the window. then..... silence. I crept out of bed, and slowly opened the door to my parents room. I walked in to find my parents dead. Clearly the works of the Undead, I'd noticed a Bone Dagger through my fathers face.... and my mother sliced in half. Luckily, I was alive. A neighbor reported the noise as soon as it happened. I had picked up this dagger, to examine it closer, when the guards walked in. I dropped the dagger, scared. I pled, and shouted it wasn't me, and I miss my family. They had no other choice but to conclude I did it.....murdered my own family. Who could even do such a thing. The guards dragged me, helpless, up the what seemed like endless stairs, to the cloud temple. there I will be aquainted with a monk, to supervise me, and cleanse me of my wrong doing. I was set down, with the others. A monk looked over and stood up to talk to the guards. the next thing I knew, I was beckoned over. I explained what had happened, to me, and my family. He already knew i was going to be his apprentice, so he took me in, Probably because he was lonesome...or that he cared. He raised me as his own. It was a nice simple life. For years we lived happy. Until that day.... the dreaded day, I knew was coming. The monk had grown too old, too ill. He couldnt even get up. I was called into the room, Horrified I came in. "Scorlan, it has been good, having you around. But every Flower must die when it is their time. every season must change when it is their time. Everybody dies, when it is their..." the Monk had died.
I took a spade, out from the monks gardening shed, and dug a cozy spot, under a tree we used to have morning tea under. and gathered some candles. I then fetched the wheel-barrow and wheeled my "father" over, gently placed him into the ditch, and took the soil and slowly made him, one with this earth. once i was finished, i took a flat stone i had found, and carved "Rest in Peace" then placed the stone at the head of the ditch. I lit the candles, circling the grave, and walked back to the house. i gathered my things, my backpack, clothing, and walking stick, and headed out. back to my wilderness life. If you were me, you would understand, there were too many feelings at that house, for me to have stayed.
What are your characters ambitions?: to become a wise but mysterious monk.

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? As I walk into Arethor, Proudly, I walk right past The Poor Dwarf, not thinking much. I wasn't exactly here to socialize. I came to purchase some new Robes, and speak with the Tailor. I walked into the Door, to the tailor shop "Ah, hello Scorlan!" exclaimed the Merchant. "a Fine day, isn't it?" I remarked back. "I have come back, in search of some repair, you see, my robes have torn". "This is not good, and must be sown up at once!" declared the tailor. So, I sat down, and we had a nice chat, while he stitched my garments. "that should just about do it!" he said. "just about?" i remarked, as we had a good laugh after. I got up, paid the man, and walked out. Passing the Dwarf, I paused. I then approached the Halfling, and stated a lifting Hello. He seemed pretty down. "what's troubling you" I asked. "I've recently lost my old town to a devastating fire, even lost my beloved brother." he remarked in a sorrowful voice. "I'm...... truely sorry, friend." I claimed back. "So, what is it you are selling?". we continued to talk for a while, and concluded he was a Baker. I had purchased some Loaves of bread before saying "may good luck be brought" and I walked away, waving my last goodbye.
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? It is an eery night, as I walked home from my Scripting Store, when I heard a faint "Please, Heres my money, just... dont hurt me!". I dropped my papyrus pages, and my ink, then walked over towards the noise. "Is there a problem here, Ork?" I claimed. He looked over, disgusted. "Agh, I thought me smelled Elf" the ork replied. "Now now, what seems to be wrong?" i stated. "yea, why are you doing this?" said the Dwarf. the ork Belches, very rudely, "well, Me is poor, and me saw shinies, So me thinks me want, and me going to take!" the ork snorted. By then, the dwarf staggered backwords, cowering in fear. "And is it right to steal?" I had brought up. "me thinks....... me want, me have!!" the ork yelled. I reached into my pocket and took out a handfull of coins. I proceeded to hand them to the ork, in a neighborly fashion. "these shiny, me want, me keep!?" the ork declared excitedly. "sure thing, just....... stop messing with the people weaker than you" i replied. The ork then happily stormed off, staring at the shiny coins. "wow, heh heh, thanks. if you hadn't been here, I'd surely have been skinned alive!" the dwarf mentioned. "it was no problem at all" i remark, as i'm walking away. "hey! stranger!.... thanks again!" the dwarf yelled, hoping id heard. I picked up my belongings, and continued to walk home

I am Alright though, thank ye for asking, lad" the old man remarked, looking up from the ground. "here, allow me." i declare, as i pull some twine from out of my bags. I then begin to knot the 2 pieces of broken wood together as one again. " need a hand getting up?" I ask. "no no...... I think I got it." replied the elderly man. He struggles to get up. "are you sure? It's no burden of mine to assist you." I said. "i-i'm fine...." he paused. "actually, please. do help. heh" the man holds out his hand. I grasp it firmly and assist him in getting up. "here is your walking stick, and Be safe!" i remarked, as i handed it to him. "thanks ya youngster!" he said as he walked away ever so slowly.

Character Name: Porterus Vander
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: I grew up in Normandor and wasn't very wealthy as a child. During my childhood my family used to live in the walls of the Elder Tree. My dad was a merchant selling anything he could to keep us from having to live in the Wilds. Even though he did a good job of that, I visited the Wilds daily. Either to hunt for some food for the family or to see my friends. By friends I mean the forest creatures, because as a kid since we were the more poor family, I didn't have many real friends. It doesn't matter much anyway, I liked the creatures just as much. By the time I turned 20, my family wanted me to move out so there were less people to feed. So I did, and when I was 22 I left my home and went to live in the city of D'hara, where I could be equal to the rest instead of having to live in the undersides of magnificent trees. In D'hara I learned my liking for the bow and arrow. I was relatively good and could hit a cannonball sized object from 20 feet. As I become better I will try to join some military force so I don't have to pay for my housing. It's just easier than having to find odd jobs to work for small amounts of money. Plus I enjoy using my bow.
Appearance: About 6 feet tall. Medium length blonde hair. Slightly muscular build because of having to forage and kill in the forests. Leather pants and quiver and bow from the forest.
Personality:Fun and outgoing, will be anyones friend if they're nice back. Does get defensive over serious things easily.
Age:22
Other: Recently has started striving to become a powerful archer.
What are your characters ambitions?: To be a better archer, and maybe join the military.

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?
Walks up to the shopkeeper happily. Scans through the goods for buying. Sees many unbuyable goods but seems to see one more object. "What is that?" "A birch wood bow." "Where did you find it?" "Actually I made it on the way here, to Arethor." "Really?, may I try it?" I pick it up. "On what?" I pull my arrow out of my quiver and arm my bow as if it were instinct. I shoot it instantly at the hanging sign beside a tavern. The arrow makes a slapping noise. I look around at the local faces giving me the death stare. "Sorry" The dwarf looks astonished. "How much" The dwarf interrupts me. "You are good." "Thanks you." "Maybe you should give the king a visit." "Thanks but I'm not that good, so how much?" "100 Minas" I give him the money in return for the bow. "Thank you, I didn't get your name?" "It's Vinlorg, but you can call me Vin." "Thanks Vin." "No problem lad." Walks away.
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?
Stops quickly and is in shock. Realizes, and sneaks behind a nearby tree. Thinks about the circumstances and jumps out from behind the tree. "Hey there!" Runs towards the Orc. Orc turns around and throws a punch. "Ah!" Get hit to the side and to the ground. Orc runs at me. I stand up and run. The dwarf runs off with his items. The Orc keeps chasing me. I run farther than the Orc into the woods and hide in a tree. He is searching the woods. I jump down onto the Orc choking him. The Orc flips me over him and kicks me. I grab my chest in pain. The Orc walks up to me. I kick his legs out from under him and run to the nearest city.
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?
Rushes to the mans side and helps him up. He aches in pain. I put him on my back and piggy-backs him. Picks up his money and puts it in my pocket. Walks him into town to the local Healer. "Welcome." "I have this old man, he just fell on the path outside of town, he may have a broken bone." Lays the man onto the table. "He seems very weak, but I think I know the problem." "What is it?" "He may have only a sprained ankle. Maybe not a big deal for you kids, but for elderly it is terrifyingly painful." "I can tell." The doctor starts using his white magic to fix the problem. "How long will it be?" "I am done." "Wow." The man tries to sit up but can't. The doctor helps him up. "Thank you boy" "No problem, how could anyone let an old man just sit there on a open road." "You'd be surprised." "Well I'll be off, Oh!" Hands the man his bag of Minas. "Thank you so much." "You're welcome, bye!" Leaves tent and walks toward the inner city.

In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is: Using outside information! If you are told something OOC then your character does not know this information. Using skype and TS are usual ways for meta-gaming to occur. Using information found on the forums that is OOC information and then using in IC.
In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is: Dodging every attack even though you are slow or imobile. Using attacks that are just god like and cannot be stopped... or even simply emoting chopping someones head off all in 1 emote. Power emoting is using emotes to empower your character in some way compared to another persons character.
Character Name: Piggy
Character Race: Halfling
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:
[[Please note that Piggy’s early life is supposed to be rather vague and a mystery to everyone including me to make RP more fun as Piggy slowly regains some of his memories which will all happen in character. This means huge chunks of information before the accident will be left out of the biography such as birth-place, age, some information regarding parents and even Piggy’s actual name and old home.]] When Piggy was little his parents used to read him story books passed down through their family. Piggy’s favourite book that he would always get his parents to read was the tale of a brave little piglet named Steve. Now in the story the Piglet named Steve was a runt compared to the other piglets. Steve’s mother still cared for all her piglets and gave special attention to Steve, until the story takes a twisted turn and mommy pig is slaughtered to feed a human family. The piglets started to resent Steve and without mommy pig to be there he would get picked on. Eventually Steve was driven away and escaped the farm through a small hole under the gate which the other piglets could not fit under. Steve was now alone and scared, he wondered around the unkown land and smelled something strange. As Steve turned around a massive Orc stood over him and swung his axe down at it. Piggy’s parents always told him that story was that Orcs are vicious and will kill you when you’re weakest, but Piggy took the story a different way thinking if the other piglets were with Steve nothing would’ve happened and they would be happy!
Piggy didn’t know that his parents actually looked down on him thinking he might be brain damaged. His parents always sheltered Piggy and even sometimes lock him in his room so they do not need to deal with him. During Year 37 the plague had completely decimated his parents small farm and they were forced to move and find shelter. However having to drag Piggy along was strenuous on his parents and food was dwindling within their small supply. As they traveled Asulon looking for greener pastures a small tribe of Goblins tried to rob Piggy and his parents. The taller black goblin swung his hammer towards the mother first for her insolence but Piggy’s father pushed mother out of the way and Piggy was struck on the head. Piggy’s parents ran away from the scene, leaving their poor, unconscious son behind. The goblins took Piggy’s unconscious body back to their camp discussing whether to eat him or not. The Elder of the tribe of Goblins walked out of his tent along with some fe-gobos and the brought with them woolen pig costumes! Their plan was to dress up Piggy and themselves and disguise as Pigs and sneak into Arethor to steal as much food as they could. After much arguing about bringing Piggy along and not eating him they decided they would use him as a distraction! Piggy eventually awoke with a massive headache, unsure who he was, where he came from, even his own name was a blank to him! When Piggy looked around he saw Goblins dressed as Pigs, unsure of anything Piggy looked around unsure of how to communicate, what those things were even! The Goblins chuckled and began to dance around Piggy chanting “Oink oink oink!”, Piggy looked at himself then back the Pig dressed Gobos and began to dance around with them and chanting “Oink oink oink!”. The Elder waved his arms signaling to start the march; Piggy followed them until a group of humans surrounded them. The Goblins and Piggy remained perfectly still, slightly making small pig noises before they began to walk around the humans making their way to Arethor’s farms. As they crawled into a barn the Goblins quickly got to their feet and ran around looking for food storage of some sort. Piggy sat down watching the Goblins run around until a booming voice was heard from across a field! The Goblins yelped and motioned for Piggy to run towards the noise, Piggy still having a hard time at understanding hand gestures decided to turn and crawl towards the noise. He walked up to the very old farmer in the fields walking towards his barn screaming at the top of his lungs. The old farmer grinned somehow thinking Piggy was infact a real pig! The old farmer chuckled and picked Piggy up and brought him back to his small farm home.
Year 58, Piggy has been raised by the Old farmer as an actual pig! The old farmer watched as Piggy grew from a runty pig into a large pig who he loved. Feeding Piggy only the best of slop for years, and keeping the other pigs far from Piggy. During their time together Piggy would speak some common words and to the amazement of the Old farmer thought he had a magical talking pig! Piggy knew nothing about being anything other than a pig now and grew accustomed to eating the slop. However in Year 58 the Old farmer was sick in bed, unbeknownst to Piggy the old farmer had somehow been fighting the plague for all those years and has finally given in and died early in the morning on his bed. Piggy shook the Old Farmer until the now fresh corpse fell onto the floor. Piggy squeeled and ran around the room unsure of what was happening. Piggy ran out of the house and began to run out in the fields, running in circles unsure of what to do. Piggy ran onto the path to Arethor and curled into a ball squeeling and oinking and spouting random bits of common he learned. A knight approached Piggy thinking it was a Pig until he looked closer and realized it was a Halfling in a woolen pig costume. The knight sighed heavily and picked Piggy up and brought him to a carriage telling the driver to get him to the Vale. As this was happening Piggy pretended to be dead hoping everything would be okay, and as he did so he slowly drifted off to sleep. When he awoke he was on a small boat heading towards the Vale.
Personality: Piggy is a very quirky character. Dressing as a woolen pig, acting like a pig and having a very hard time communicating in common. Piggy is very adventurous character and is always curious about what others are doing. He has a strange love for scraps of food and rolling around in dirt. Piggy also enjoys the sound of running water.
What are your characters ambitions?: Make many friends and travel around Asulon on an adventure to uncover Piggy’s lost memories! Basically as my RP progresses with Piggy he will slowly regain some memories and eventually increase his vocabulary. Also a side ambition is stay as a Pig forever!
Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here: http://imgur.com/F8MVR
Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: Piggy has a low vocabulary and will try to use other means to speak or get a point across such as hand motions or playing charades.
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?
Piggy hears a loud raspy voice shouting across the stone city. He quickly scurries around to locate the person as a small scent of booze and fresh bread floats around the air. Piggy smells the air deeply and begins to follow the scent which leads him over to the poor Dwarf. Piggy hops over next to the Dwarf and begins to rub up against him Oinking and sniffing him trying to find the bread. The Dwarf unsure what to make of the situation quickly begins to push Piggy away grabbing onto the bread he left on his table. Piggy notices the bread and squeezes against the Dwarf reaching for the bread, trying to grab onto it to get a small nibble. The Dwarf takes this action as a threat and swings his fist, hitting Piggy in the face. Piggy flies backwards holding onto his now bleeding nose, squeeling in pain. The Knights of Arethor quickly surround the Dwarf and Piggy and a small quarrel begins between the Dwarf and the Knights. Both Piggy and the Dwarf are forcibly removed from Arethor, Piggy now scared of the dwarf begins to run away in about every direction possible, the Dwarf sighs turning around walking to the nearest tavern.
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?
Piggy would approach the situation with a bit of caution, sniffing the air for food. Piggy would approach the Orc first and attempt to sniff it before heading over to the dwarf and sniffing him. If the situation continues to escalate into a fight Piggy would most likely be caught in the middle and possibly hurt by either side. Any sign of escape during the fight Piggy would take it and run until he can’t run no more. Piggy would try to befriend the Dwarf or Orc by embracing either of them if the situation seems to calm down with Piggy’s presence. Piggy would playfully Oink at the two if they continued to argue and try to use some common to communicate with them.
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?:
Piggy rushes over to the pile of coins and begins to roll around in them throwing them up in the air and playing with them until he gets bored. Once bored Piggy’s attention would return to the old man, he would remember the Old Farmer who took care of him and try and help the Old Man up off the ground. Piggy would ensure the Old Man is not injured and sniff him for any food. If any food is smelt off the Old Man Piggy would playfully bounce atop the man searching for the food. When the old man begins to leave Piggy would walk beside him to help the Old Man keep his balance. Piggy would hope wherever he is now going he will get food. Piggy will also try and make friends with the Old Man, and try to communicate with him with his oinks and broken common. If the old man and Piggy become friends he will most likely enter the role of another mans pet animal, that is if the Old Man does not realize Piggy is a Halfling.

Character Name: Tucareus Magnigonias
Character Race: Elf, Dark 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:
What are your characters ambitions?: Tucareus plans to set forth in this brave world of adventurers and make a name for himself by slaying evil, defending his people and their allies, and by besting foes in one on one mortal combat or epic battles.
Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here: Can be subject to change very easily if the colors of clothing is not suitable to a dark elf.
Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: Tucareus Magnigonias hales from the land of Asulon, where he was raised under his father's tutelage. He planned to follow in his father's footsteps in becoming a weaponsmith, but his father was sent off to battle the Orc marauders and defend the forests from their destructive fires, but on his way to the battle he
was trapped by the clever goblins and forced to make great weapons for the Orc and their sub-races. Upon learning of these events Tucareus decided to use his skills as a weapon-smith and also a master swordsman and ax-man, having learned these skills by training with his father's weapons, to kill all owners of his father's weapons who intend to use it for ill will and then use their weapons to continue his quest of returning the legendary weapons and freeing his father.
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 approach the dwarf and ask him, "Sir, let me see your wares for being a dwarf I am sure you have quite the collection of precious jewels." He would then open up his chest of jewels and give me a quick description of each item and its worth. I would pretend to be interested in the low value items just to be kind to this poor dwarf, but I would then take a great interest in his stock of gold, diamond, and iron. I would tell him," You have quite the supply of iron, gold, and diamonds there, is it possible for me to trade you one of my father's magnificent weapons for some of each different ore/gem? Now don't think that I am trying to make an unfair deal here, my father was one of the most renowned Dark Elf weapon-smiths in all of Asulon until he was taken captive by goblins. Even now in captivity he still creates some of the greatest weapons the world has ever known, some even say that his masterpieces are equal in lethality to Iblees's flaming blade. Dear dwarf I will make you a deal, you find a way to make a trade for this blade to a shaman, goblin, or nomad and you can keep the goods from the trade as well as the weapon, after of course I end the life of the wretch who dared to trade for it." The dwarf trader would then accept my trade and I would hide and wait for the second trade to take place, and seeing it complete I would sneak up and assassinate the new owner of the blade and continue to give the blade back to the dwarf trader.
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 intervene on behalf of the dwarf telling the behemoth of an Orc that the dwarf is unarmed and that the Orc's honor binds him to a fair fight. My next step depends upon the Orc's actions. If he sees the folly in his attack and give the dwarf a fair and fighting chance, then I will watch the fight which is sure to be a grand battle. If, however, the Orc ignores my logic and continues his threats of violence, then I will leave and flank around the Orc and use my dark elven skills with a blade to make quick work of the rage driven Orc.
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?: I will take a moment to consider my options, I could help the old man up and find him another walking stick, pick up all the Minas that fell and take the bag with the fallen Minas, or sit their and laugh at his misfortune. I decide after a few seconds to help the old man regain his footing and tell him to wait for me to return with a more suitable walking stick for the rugged beauty of Asulon. He thanks me for the help I gave him and when offered a few Minus I accept then leave, only to return a short while later with a large traveler's coat I purchased with the few Minus from him and some of my own Minus. I then help the elderly man into the coat and tell him to hide his Minas in one of the many coat pockets to help conceal his small amount of money from those who would wish ill will upon him.

In-Character Details
Character Name: Maletone
Character Race: Dwarf
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: My character is about 4’5” with a yellow pinkish skin tone. He comes from a family of rich miners who live in Mount Ire he was born into the cave family of dwarves his goal when he was little was to find the purple diamond a rare mystical object that he believes to have been formed when the world of Asulon was forming in the lava as the dwarves believe even if the Druids might not agree with the elves etc. A few nights before he turned 25 (dwarf years) I went out hunting for some food as we love our drink and food but back to the story. As I was searching for boar I heard an ear-shattering scream! I turned around to see a fine stream of blood trailing off into the thickening tress crowded together. I followed the trail until I found a human with a hoe. He was dead. I saw a shiny necklace and two names. One was the city of Arethor the other I was perplexed by it was the name Impedia. I believe it is a long lost love or his wife. I kept on going through the cold dwarven mountains. Whoever this was he must be well conditioned for I ran out of breath before I could see him. I climbed back up out of the snow and ran to see the next victim. Once again a necklace was around the victim bearing the name Arethor but this time the woman's name was lkinlad. I tracked down the killer to a cottage far away. The killer was an elf from a guild of assassins. He wouldn't answer my questions about why he killed those innocent people. I turned my back on him for one second and he takes out his knife nearly dicing me! I get up and make a swift move. He stumbles and falls on a table where I stab him. This was the first time I killed. About 5 years later we are at war with the Elves. Many are dead and I am lying on my stomach trying to look dead. I take one breath and an elf spots me. His bow is aimed at my heart. I look up and see another dwarf. The dwarf is shot with the arrow and falls. He sounds like a sack of potatoes hitting the ground! I rush back to the camp but everything is gone. Pots are missing but then I see my friends dead on the ground. I turn to see a dwarf running off with blood splattered on his face. As I turn back I see the King coming towards me and I kneel. But instead of the words “rise”, I feel his hands around my throat closing in. The last words I hear are "why did you do it?". It's been four years and I've been rotting away my life in prison. During the guard’s shift I broke out of jail. I see the light it is time to start anew.
What are your characters ambitions?: To find the purple diamond and get revenge

Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shopkeeper 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? 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 am traveling though the city of Arethor it is not particularly nice for me due to the humans close relations with elves. I see a dwarf shopkeeper in the city yelling, "Fine wares for sale all you need is here!" I approach the stand and scan him over. He's a mountain dwarf I can tell by his fiery red hair and strong arms. I say to him "what are you selling?" He replays "everything!" I reply, "What is your finest sword?" He kneels down and brings out a sword of diamonds with a glowing red blade. I ask, "Where is it from?" He gazes to the mountains and replies "this blade was forged in mount ire the forge where the coal glows with such a heat it has the ability to create mystical weapons! Where they say the world started being created from the heat!" I feel the warm blade on my skin and hand him 200 Minas. He hands me the sword and I walk off into the crowds.
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 am alone with no companions wandering the Oren road what am I thinking?! I keep on walking past trees and mountains and come upon some travelers I listen to what they say, the dwarf says "You orcs think your better than us dwarves eh? Well c'mon take me!" The Orc laughs and says " Ha you think you can take a mighty Orc? I could kick you halfway around the map!" I see this will not end well so I step in and say "You are both evenly matched this would end in a stalemate." The Orc and dwarf look at each other and keep on arguing I talk again but this time with a different approach. "You know master dwarf I saw a gold mine a few miles away!" His eyes light up and he's out of sight running towards the direction I pointed. I wander on my way and leave the Orc to his own doings.
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 defenseless man. What does your character do?: I was on my way to Malinor for some trading when along the path I hit a 2-way path. I saw a man walking next to me and came over to see if he knew the way. Before I could say "excuse me" he fell down and the poor mans Mina's fell all over the path. He could not get up so I thought to myself "should I take his coin or not?" I looked upon the old man as I he moaned in pain. I bent down and said "don't worry you'll be alright." I picked up his coin, took out my leather and made him a new satchel. With the woods conveniently nearby I picked up some sticks and made him a new cane. As he stood up he asked "why did you help an old man when you could have taken my money?" I responded, "Because I saw you hurt and knew it was not right." I left him in peace and set off to Malinor.

In-Character Details
Character Name: Regil
Character Race:Human
Character biography -Regil comes from a small, unknown country. He is 27. He was greatly known for his skills in agility and poisons. He worked at a simple potions shop in a rich neighborhood, and he lived with his fiance Katris and his daughter Lana. Regil was never fond of politics or current events, but one day, somthing set him off. He was working in his office, brewing a deadly blend of poison, when his boss barged in. He screamed for him to get out. Regil looked up, very confused. In a flash a large spear was dug into his bosses back, ripping from his chest. As the lifeless body fell to the hard floor, Regil caught a view of the scene. Guards and outlaws were lashed in a violent battle. Women and men were killed by the guards mercilessly, and children were chained and dragged to prison carts. The outlaws faught fearlessly, yet most were weak. The guards seemed to be after weapons and supplies as well. The guard who had killed his boss charged at Regil, who quickly dodged. Regil drew his antique knife, a shiny iron dagger, and quickly swiped it into his toxic brew. In a dazzling upper cut, the guard was on the ground, slowly dieing from the poison. When Regil got home, he found 3 gaurds in his home. 2 had his 12 year old daughter Lana chained up, and the other help a knife to his wife Katrises neck. With his vials of poison strapped to his belt, Regil snapped the first ones neck, holding Katris. In a flash of his knife, the other was dead. When he looked up, what he saw set him tumbling backward. The final guard, a man he recognized from the pub, held a cross bow to his daughters head. The mans scar flashed a deep, bright red. Regil, full of panic, threw the knife as fast as he could at the guards head. With another flash of the scar, the guard was on the other side of his daughter, the knife missing completly. In the next moment, a large bolt was wedged into his daughters skull. Katris screamed, running out of the door and into the packed streats. 2 more guards came into the home, seizing Regil and chaining him. The killer of his daughter looked over him, smirking. He flicked his knife and made an identical cut of his scar on Regils wrist. The guard then left the other 2 to take Regil to prison. They knocked him out. Once in the prison, Regil learned he was one of the very few adults. He was in one cell, with 5 others. 1 child, 3 men, and 1 woman. All shared the same cuts on there wrists. The cells around them, around 100, were packed full of children. Most seemed to share the cuts, some were dead. It was hard to see. Regils cell mates told him what happend to the once perfect kingdom. They said they were apart of the hidden allience. A small, yet powerful group in the kingdom. With few adults, they ran the streets with the children and kept the royal power under control. The king was possessed by a powerful necromancer. The allience tried all they could to kill the king, yet could not succeed. It turned out that Regils boss was one of the head memebers of the group. The kings royal guard had mistaken Regil for his boss. They had immprissoned all of the members, and killed the rest. Regil then stayed in the cell for a week, sleeping little and eating what seemed to be human flesh. One night, many guards came into the hallway of cells. They told all prisoners of the curse that had been placed upon them. They said the cuts will soon spread accross your entire body. One inch every hour. After a weak they will all be thrown into the ocean, tied up to die of the salt water pain, or drown. The next week was torture, as Regil watched around him as he, and everyone else grew deep cuts every hour. When the week was over, A mass of guards lead the prisoners, one cell at a time outside. Regils cell came last. It was midnight, and when he was outside by the docks, the water was almost all red with blood. The smell of flesh wafted around the docks, sickening even the guards. He watched as the three men were kicked into the ocean, there feet and wrists tied. There were some screams before they fell into the water, but after that it was just gargells. Regil was pulled up next. The guard put his foot to regils back, and he felt pressure. Suddenly, time seemed to stop. His cut was glowing red. Just as the first guards did. He saw the light emmiting from his waist, as that was were his hands were tied. The cut burned the worst pain he had ever felt. In a flash the ropes binding his wrists were burnt off, and this sudden change sent the guard backward. Regil spun around, not understanding anything, as his cut grew a deep blue. All of his other cuts felt freezing. He was cold. Very cold. He held up his hands to examin them, and felt a deep power. Not thinking, he flowed the inner cold depths of power to his hands, and in result, froze the guards armor solid. In a flash a large ice bolt was formed, and dug into the guards skull. Regil looked around, and ran as fast as he could. The streets were empty, and he soon found his home. He grabbed his knife, Still in the wall, his potion belt, with all his poisons, some clothes, food, and a map. He ran for days, only stopping for an hour or so at a time to rest. He felt this inner power growing, and he felt always cold. By the time he reached this new land, he was a Cryomancer. The sourceror of ice.
[color="#FF8C00"]What are your characters ambitions?: In this new land Regil hopes to find Katris. He also is on a hunt to kill the guard who did this to him and killed his daughter. Yet in the meen time, he shall lay low. Perhaps open a potion shop of some kind, and get to know the land.
Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here: I shall attach it at the end of this post
Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: Regil is good at making friends, but is short tempored at some times.

My shoes are black leather but the other clothes are brown. I wear long-sleeve pants and short-sleeve shirt. I have golden skin for being in the sun a lot. I have chocolate brown eyes with a large amount of jet black hair that is very messy.
Personality: I am a friendly guy that wont attack unless necessary. I have a fear of the Orcs for there big size and strength scares me. I like to have people to talk to and lots to do (I get bored easy). I am a good person to trust if you need help with anything (as long as it doesn't break any rules). If you get me mad I will tend to yell due to my lack of self control.
History: When I was a boy I lived near the orc territory. My dad would go there to trade and sell things. One day my dad never came home... he had been attack by a drunk orc that had been angered before by my dads appearance. I had before liked the orcs ,but now I have a great fear that I will have the same fate as my father did.[/color]

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:
I grew up as a young elf brought into a small family. We lived in a nice large oak tree next to a old forgotten road. We rarely saw many visitors. Some were men of great posture who roamed around to seek for things they had yet to decide. Some were dwarves. Searching for new caves to explore and gain riches. And some were fellow elves, who we stopped on their way and invited them in for some nice talk on the outside world. I knew nothing. I only heard the mutters of some stories of wars and death. I was still young. I had very wavy blonde hair and bright blue eyes. My ears were very pointy that sometimes, I thought I could cut myself with them. I was very small, not average for my blood line.
We loved having elves come visit us. For we never got to hear much of what happened on the outside "World". But what we hated most, was the terrible sound of coming Orc squads. We would hide and attempt to make our house look like a normal tree. It was quite easy. The Orcs' feet stomping on the ground could be heard from miles away, or as it seemed. Time carried on as morning became night and night became day. Until one day my fortune would change.
On a nice summer day when the sun was about to set, my family heard the constant stomp of feet. By the speed of the stomps, we came to a conclusion that they were Orcs. We took down all our decorations and made our nice tree house look like a normal plain oak tree. When the orcs arrived it was nearly mid night. The orcs wished to rest for all of them were getting tired and hungry. So when they spotted our tree, they said, "That's a fine looking tree there!" They decided to camp in front of our tree. But the orcs wanted some fire to roast their nice dinner, a couple of poor deer. So they looked at our tree and realized that there were loads of branches not so high of the ground. So they grabbed a hatchet and cut off a branch. It just so happened that branch was hollow and held a couple of clay plates. The orcs realized right away that there was something in the tree. So my father grabbed some food and wrapped it up. He took hold of his rusty stone sword and handed it to me. He prepared me for a journey and opened the back hatch for me. I was very emotional. This was the last time I would see my pale skinned father. With nice brown hair and hazel eyes. And my mother, with blonde hair and bright green eyes. It almost looked as if her eyes were emeralds. I let one tear drop fall until I jumped out the back hatch. Then I made my journey to the main elf city of Malinor. That was the last day I saw my parents.
What are your characters ambitions?: To become a good bowsman, To avenge my family, To one day meet someone to fall in love with.

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: I am a very emotional elf...
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 start a conversation.) Dwarf, what are you doing in a mighty city like this? This is not suit for your liking is it master dwarf? Wouldn't you prefer a cave of some sort? Also, what do you have for sale today? Do you have any food of sorts or tools that I could use? (Bargain with the dwarf)
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 walk up to the orc and dwarf and start a conversation) My dear friends, why do you fight? There is no need for this sort of violence. But Master Orc, do not take your violence out on this poor dwarf. If you have any sort of problem please take it out on me. (if orc prepares to fight attempt to parry not deal a killing blow)
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?: I would first help the old man up and find something that could support his weight. I have no need for his coins. I would then pick his coins up and try to find another bag or some sort of item to store the Minas.
