In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are.

Metagaming is defined as any out of character action made by a player's character which makes use of knowledge the character is not meant to be aware of. Powergaming is playing to achieve a goal, with lack of attention to the storyline and atmosphere of a game. Both types are seen as a bad and non-social way to play games, and are shunned upon in the gaming community.

I expect this server to be a wonderful experience, with nice staff, a kind-hearted community, and an immersive role-playing experience.

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):

I was brought up in Oren, by my two human parents. They got into fights about my grandfather on my mother's side, as he despised the magic I was being taught from my father. He was an avid student of arcane arts, and decided to teach me his knowledge. This is how my interest in the Magicks started. My mother was not opposed to this, but she was upset that our family was being despised for its practicing of these things. Me and my father think this was why she left us. We don't know where she went, we just hope she wasn't attacked on the way by passing bandits. I was 13 when she ran away, but have now grown in height and intelligence, and am 26. I hope that she is happy wherever she is, but I feel that maybe she ran away because of my left hand. It was mutated at birth, and as soon as I could think for myself, I realised that she was greatly disgusted by the mangled three fingers. It would sadden me to know that she was so disgusted by this that she ran away, and I would not know what to do with myself. But that is in the past now, and I have grown to accept what happened to me.

My favourite attire on any given day is my blue mage robes. With golden trim and a cloth hood, it is very comfortable and shows my ever-changing personality. The blue represents my sullen days, where I dwell on the past and my dysfunctional family. The gold represents my happy days, where I feel confident, and am ready to take on the world. My hair greyed at an early age, possibly another birth defect, and now I sport a grey beard. I believe this shows wisdom, and am not worried about the fact that my hair is grey at the age of 26. My eyes show my true age, brown, bold and courageous, like the average 26 year old human. People may shun me away, but I am used to this happening, as my own mother was probably disgusted by me. Nothing is worse than that, and I can deal with anything now.

Your characters ambitions:

I hope to one day become a teacher of the arcane arts, teaching others what I know, and helping them to enter the life of a wizard. I know spells that can fix my defects, but I choose not to use them, as they are a sign of what I have been through, and they are part of my past.

Out in the Wilds, your character comes across a small cottage. Outside, there appears to be an elf struggling combat with two bandits. What does your character do?

My character would ask the bandits to stop what they are doing, and if they did not, would cast a spell that paralysed them long enough for the elf to get away.

Your character walks up to a shop in the middle of Al'Khazar. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer?

He says, "I would like a spell tome, what have you got for me today? Nothing harmful. Can you show me what you have in stock, something that will amaze me."

Your answers for RP, meta and power gaming are incorrect. Your bio is way too short, it should include character development depth, personality, quirks, flaws and history. Also your formatting is poor, leaving much of your app very jumbled with fonts and no seperations. Please read through the wiki, guides, examples or advice and reapply in 48 hrs.
