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?: Roleplaying is the act of acting or pretending to be a certain person or character in a certain setting and scenario.

What is metagaming?: Metagaming is when you bring OOC information into a roleplay, thereby allowing your character to know information that they would otherwise not know.

What is powergaming?: In online RPs such as this one it's used to describe godmodding and autoing other player's characters; which is to say, having your character perform actions that would be overpowered, general MarySue/GaryStuness, and controlling another player's character, usually in a way that benefits your character specifically. (The tabletop definition refers to min-maxing and exploiting rules in such a way to gain an advantage to your character that was unintended when the rules were written.)

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.):

In a town at the outskirts of the Reformed Kingdom, there was a village which suffered misfortunes. A mage of darkness and strife kept his grip tight on the village, strangling its growth with his overbearing and his demands. Where most of the buildings were mud huts, his lab was a tower, and he liked it that way.

In 1483, after many years of begging the seat of Oren for help, the village commissioned adventurers to take care of the mage, and so he fell, but not without cursing the people with his last breath.

Ten years later, the village was nearly wiped out by plague in the space of a day; the anniversary of the mage's death. Another decade passed, and an earthquake ripped them apart on that very day, and it took years to put themselves back together. Now, 30 years after the curse was uttered, the villagers breathed a sigh, for nothing seemed to come upon them from the horizon when the anniversary passed.

For a few, that was their last breath.

A peasant girl named Sahar, daughter and sister of two men who were crushed in the earthquake, was tormented by dreams as the day of the mage's death approached. The mage spoke to her in her sleep, hissing to her his hatred, telling her why these people must suffer. The stories are wrong, he said. The villagers were mere savages, afraid of what was happening and blaming it on the wizard. And they have not changed; still they are ignorant, backwater clodhoppers.

Sahar's mind twisted in these words, and though she was never quite... right... what humanity finally drained. She believes herself not to be Sahar any longer, nor is she the mage, but the extension of the mage's rage, cold and ruthless, as if she were a spirit of justice. And, as he bid, she struck exactly one night after the anniversary.

For her work, she wore a costume, slipped into the open doors and windows of her sleeping neighbors, and slit the throats of a few she could before fleeing into the wilderness, not even staying long enough to see how things ended up. Luck struck for her even as it soured for the other Descendants, for they were overtaken by more grave matters as they were nearly washed out by the Flood, and young Sahar managed to blend into the baggage train for Faiz Kharadeen as they crossed the Door of Eternity.

Though she has escaped arrest thus far, Sahar has not returned to being Sahar. She does not feel the need to murder any longer, but she is still the extension of the mage's anger. When his mood strikes him, she will perform errands as he wills it. She is rarely compelled to kill, but she often stalks people into their houses and watches them as they sleep, trying to determine something that is only known between her and the voice in her head.

Personality Traits: Sahar can interact with people like a normal person for a while, but will become disconnected and appear distracted if any interaction or conversation lasts too long. She is often compelled to don her disguise and act as the dead mage's hand, believing herself to be a mere tool in this state. There are things she genuinely seems to enjoy, however: music, poetry, and puzzles especially. She does seem to form attachments to certain people.

Ambitions: Sahar wishes to do what the mage's hatred wills her to, believing she has no will to imagine a further ambition.

Strengths/Talents: She is very quiet and very good at unlocking doors and sneaking into places.

Weaknesses/Inabilities: Whether or not Sahar is actually being controlled by the ghost of an evil wizard, Sahar is definitely mentally ill. Because of this, she is not reliable, often acts against her best interests, and is very suggestible.

Appearance (List the extra details of your characters appearance, IE; height & weight): Sahar has dark hair, dusky skin, and yellow eyes. She is of thin build, average height, and might be attractive, but has many blemishes and her hair is often matted as she does not take care of herself. Her normal clothes are nice, if well-worn.
Her disguise is a black and grey suit, dirty and somewhat bloodied, with a white mask.

Appearance, please provide us a screenshot of your character’s skin (If you need help, see our screenshot guide here):


Left is Sahar normally, Right is her disguise (removable overlay in skin)

 

(Sorry if my character concept is a little out there; this is my first Minecraft-specific RP and I felt like it should be something that feels close to my account name in theme, and this is what I came up with.)
