Definitions

Feel free to Google the answers or browse our forums, but make sure that you write the reply in your own words, not those of another website or person!



What is roleplaying?: I would define Roleplaying as a conscious action taken by the player to play out situations as a character other than themselves. Before acting they would take into account that characters thoughts, beliefs, bias, and past experiences.

What is metagaming?: An action taken by a player that is roleplaying a character. This player would be using information gained outside of the realm of roleplay to gain an advantage of any kind.

What is powergaming?: Powergaming is a broad topic, for example it could mean that a character someone has created is heavily relying on ridiculous amounts of skills that give them a very rough advantage over other players in many aspects of roleplay. Another meaning would be forcing another player to go along with your roleplay without giving them a real chance to defend themselves or dictate where the story will go. Such as "Peter grabs Tyler by his head, he then slams his head on the table.". Instead that might rather look like this "Peter reaches out attempting to grab Tyler by his head, his intention to slam it against the table.".

Biography (Please make it a decent two paragraphs long. Remember to add server lore, and events that happened to your character so that they don’t contradict history.):

               

          Murdoch was born in 1460, his father Sigmund was twenty-one at the time. This was only three short years after Sigmund and his Wife Caroline went through the Door of Eternity, to the Fringe. Eventually they ended up in Athera. The family had always been loyal to Oren and ended up settling in a small hovel outside of Aldersburg.  Sigmund started a small farm in order to make some Minas. Sigmund quickly began to expand his business into other avenues, and  making large quantities of Minas through his different techniques. Murdoch was young when the family moved out of the hovel and into a larger manor fit for the whole family. At the age of six Murdoch started to see tutors for all aspects of life. He learned how to act in social situations, how to read and write properly. He learned how to use a sword, and how to accurately shoot a bow. He was a well rounded individual, though he grew up rather spoiled. As time passed, Murdoch found himself wanting more and more to go outside the manor walls, not only to farm but just to explore. He had learned so much of the history of the land, and where he could possibly end up one day. And Sigmund wanted nothing more than for his son to do those things, but someone had to tend to the farm.

     A few weeks before Murdoch's twenty-second birthday Sigmund and Caroline decided to head to 
Petrus for a festival that was being thrown. On the way there though a couple of brigands stopped their horse
 cart, and took all their belongings. Mortally wounding them both and leaving them for death's cold embrace.
  Weeks passed with no word from his parents, Murdoch and his siblings became worried. Eventually they
 hired some men from Aldersburg to search the roads for any sign of them. Eventually the corpses were found
 and brought back to be properly buried. As the oldest son to Sigmund, most of the duties fell to him. He 
would be the one to take care of the farm and continue on his family legacy. With time the urge to leave grew
 more and more powerful until he could no longer stay at the farm. He left, leaving behind all his claims to the
 family business, and everything left for him. He was headed for Petrus, perhaps to find the people who killed
 his father, and mother. Also to see the world, and make his own way. 

Personality Traits: A quick temper, a silver tongue, diligent, greedy, has a rather large ego, 
very loyal to those who have helped him. 

Ambitions: Murdoch has a great wanderlust that has forced him to leave his home, and the comfy
 inheritance left for him by his father. He would rather make his own way in life. His ambitions start
 and end with his status, Murdoch will not stop until he is a influential person. Making some Minas 
along the way is also a plus! Strengths/Talents: Has been trained to read and write properly, 
moderate training with the sword and bow. He can be persuasive, and he is decent at navigating social
 and political situations. He would much rather talk his way through a situation than fight, but he 
will fight if the situation demands it. 

Weaknesses/Inabilities: Has never really lived with hardship. Living on his father's manor gave him 
many chances to better himself in some ways, but for example he might not be a very good survivalist. 
As a person who comes from a relatively well off position he finds it hard to cope with situations where 
he cannot meet the demands of everyday life. Lacks empathy for those that have less than him, since he 
lacks experience with such things.
