Definitions

This is simply so that we can get an understanding of how much you know about roleplaying. Feel free to Google the answers, but make sure that you write the reply in your own words, not another website / person's!

What is roleplaying?: - Role-play is basically acting out a living being inside a fictional created world that is set in a specific theme, time and so forth and so forth.

You are creating a story that includes those who role-play around you by the means of interacting with the world that is laid out for you and you are supposed to do so in an realistic manner.

The story you create by Role-playing is that of the life of /your/ character his or her life and in order to progress his or her life you are to interact with the world around you.

What’s metagaming?: -

Meta-gaming is the usage of out of character obtained information or information that has been obtained through the means of powergaming and so on, and so on.. and using it by the means of in-character knowledge.

This will give you and those who Role-play around you and benefit from this information a unfair advantage towards others which is prone to ruin the role-play expierence of many around you, as those around you who do benefit from it might be un-aware of the fact this information did not belong to your character and so if the Role-play will eventually be voided, (Rendered nihil) or that those who are participating in the usage of Meta-gamed information even may be banned for using it while not being aware it was meta-gamed information and thus ruining their role-play expierence as well.

What’s powergaming?: -

Powergaming is performing or maybe even encouraging the usage of Unrealistic role-play, forced role-play actions or even Meta-gaming through the usage of unrealistic roleplay and so on.

The way this affects role-play is more or less both Out of character affecting and In character affecting,

OOC effect : Powergaming often creates many arguements between both side and lead to the so famouse "Flame" wars, where people will often curse eachother out till an unreasonable extend, which will in most cases create many grudges between role-players in a certain comunity and lead eventually to the downfall of an server when ofcourse many other aspects need to be put in place bevore such happens.

It also affects the behaviour and the role-play expierence of /set person/ being accused of Role-play, especially if it is an lesser expierenced role-player who will be phrone to leaving the server as soon as he is being "Bullied" by his fellow comunity members who are not willing to give him or her a chance to improve his or her role-play by showing them how it is done which on the long run will eventually dammage the server it's status.

In-character : This will often lead to displeasement and the usage of OOC into IC to avoid /set role-player/ who powergames which will lead to the creation of groups of "Friends" that are often the people making use of Power-gaming actions or that are Avoiding those who are "Power-gaming", which spreads out the Role-play and eventually drives people away from the role-play spots as it is no longer enjoyable for them in their opinion.

In-Character Information

Now you actually make your character - be creative but stay reasonable! Make sure they make sense and that they follow lore. Try to come up with a character that you actually want to play.

What’s your character called?: - Holt-Bjorn

What race are they (and sub-race)?: - He would be of the Human race, being the subrace of a Northeron.

What sex are they?: - He would be of the Male sex.

How old are they?: - Nineteen

Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): -

Holt-Bjorn was born in a family of fletchers, him being the third child of four emiditatly made him the youngest as the fourth child would be his twin sister Hervor and the older two being his brothers Ivar and Gundir both significantly older then himself being of the age of twenty two and twenty three.

His family was concidered to be in a lower class of the caste system how ever that did not make them less then whom they believed they were, as their family was always a proud and honorable one, working hard to sustain them selves in the harsh climate of the northern lands and where simply said Peasants, like most around them. Unlike his brothers Holt-Bjorn was more focused on playing around with his sister focusing on creating things out of the snow at a young age, it was around the age of six that a mage saw the two of them play around with the snow and him seeing the joy of the two offered to teach them the basics of evocating water, bending it to their will, this ofcourse caused major uproar from their parrents who wished them to be using weapons instead of magic.

Years had passed on end, and while Hervor listened to her parrents Holt-bjorn secretly continued practising with the magic while also working on his skills in archery, over time he felt himself to becomming weaker due the usage of magic and felt the need to combine both fysical training with the practise of magic so it was not obvious to his parrents that he was still practising the evocation of water. After he turned around twelve, he was forced to help out at the fletchers shop where his father taught him the crafting of bow and arrows, leather work for quivers and such needs alike, it was after months of talking to his father that he finally was allowed to "Legally" practise magic in the sense of his fathers aproval, under the condition that he would do his best to provide the upkeep of his archery skills and continue to hunt for meat, as still dispite their hard work and efforts getting food was rather hard and there was little money to provide for such.

Ofcourse his skills eventually evolved from making tricklets of water move around to other objects, he was extremely fascinated by the forming of ice and tried his best to work on making objects of water freeze, ofcourse still till this day it needs alot of practise but it is comming along nicely. Ofcourse with the money he got from his father as payment which was only what they could spare from the profits he went to find out towards the wise woman from the village, offering her payment in return for lessions on how to read.

The reading lessions were provided to a basic standard, but the woman refused to accept the payment and instead wished for a bit of comfort nothing major but just some help around the house and some one to bring her firewood when she would run out. This agreement was struck and so it continued for a few years untill the elderly woman had died with a faint smile crossing her lips with the last words that she had enjoyed his company.

While the rest of his years till around the age of eighteen were quite blant and dull like always, he worked at his fathers fletching shop and oneday the same mage had passed by, asking him how his skills of the art of evocation came along, upon showing them proudly the mage chuckled and told him in order to hone his skills he had to travel around and see more then just this town, learn about the arts of magic from tomes, books and other people with a protesting father he eventually convinced both mother and father, had a set of fine quality clothes made with what he had saved up in the past years and set out foot, wandering around for months he came back home at the age of nineteen for his name day, bevore setting out again on his journy.

What are they like (personality)?: -

He would be distrusting of those around him that he cannot call Brothers or Sisters in his eyes, how ever he does crave the information of the arts of magic and is often willing to go through great lengths of effort to do so, with a mindset put on survival he puts himself and those whom he conciders family and kin on the first place along with his own survival, aside of that he is a kind, loyal and hard working person.

This can often bring him into situations that are not very profitable for him due his sense of loyalty, but it does define him the most as he sticks to his words and almost never turns back on them, or those who he gave his loyalty to in forms of friendship how ever this is hard to earn and the slightest mistake can leave it to be crushed into many shards of broken glass and what they once had would mean nothing anymore.

What are their ambitions?: - aside of becomming better in water evocation his wish is to set up a fletchers shop, a bit anti climatic but still his heart longs for such.

Do they have any special skills?: - Unless you would concider basic water evocation knowledge a special skill, no not really.

What are their weaknesses?: - His great distrust of people ends up with him often being alone and becomming paranoia, a generally harsh attitude towards them that brings him into trouble, how ever his craving for knowledge can be concidered to be a strength it can also put himself into great positions of problems, the more some one knows the better of a subject of torture he makes is it not?

While those weaknesses are all nice and dandy, his greatest weakness would be the fact that he seems to be oblivious to alot of things around him making him miss out on alot of things, being so focused onto one thing he often forgets to keep his eye out on other important things around him.

Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: -

Holt-Bjorn is a stout Northeron of the age of Nineteen and stands around the length of five foot eight, (1.80m), he carries matte black hair that is bundled into a slight pony tail to prevent his locks of hair to fall infront of his jade green eyes.

His frame would be avaragly build for a northeron widely build, with a salmon skincolor contrasting his eyes and black hair, he would not be concidered an outstanding individual, his face would sometimes be covered in brushes of dirt from the work he does.

Wearing good and sturdy shin-plated boots that would be made to last for a long time padded with furs and sheep wool on the inside, he'd slip in easily with his sheep wool socks, the end of the pipes of his trousers are tucked into the rim of the boots to prevent snow from slipping into them and wettening the insides of his boots.

Over his trousers he wears a thick made out of sheep wool and furs padded over coat to prevent him from getting cold during the harsh weathers outside of shelter, the significant dark blue color disginguishes him slightly from the others, a good firm brown leather belt seems to keep his pants and coat on its place, putting the weight of the thick and heavy clothing onto his hips and thus relieving stress off his shoulders.

Under the coat a tabbart like shirt could be seen with the iconation of a bear onto it that had been crudly been painted onto it by himself, as he is not a artist it looks like a vague blob of black paint.

Anything else you want to say about them?: - He is still quite playfull though due to his age.
