Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: Aside from obviously enjoying gaming, I am currently a senior in college studying Conservation Biology. With that, I thoroughly enjoy science and studying the natural world. Additionally, I like to play guitar and bass and have been playing for 12 years.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: I cannot give an exact amount of hours. However, I am more than willing to dedicate as much as time as necessary to develop my character and be very involved in the community story-lines. I will be very involved, time commitment will not be an issue.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.: I haven't role-played in a couple years, however, I have previously role-played on the game Ultima Online. I dedicated several years to role-playing in that game and became a very dedicated member to its community. Role-playing is taking on the persona of a created character that fits the time period, pre-existing story, and any other features developed on a certain game. Essentially, while role-playing, it is necessary to become the character you created, to speak, behave, and carry on as that character.

In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. Metagaming is acting out-of-character and portraying knowledge in which that character should not know in-game. Powergaming is the process of developing ones character to maximize its progress in an unrealistic manner given the specifics of the game being played.

What do you expect this server will be like?: It appears to be have a mature atmosphere of dedicated role-players. Experienced and new role-players seem to give full effort to make this server very enjoyable. The dedication to staying in-character is a preconceived notion I have of this server and believe it will hold true.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I played on HeroCraft. I simply lost interest in the community there because it doesn't fit my type of play style. It was a fun server, just not for me.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes

In-Character:

Character Name: Thomas McThorne

What is your Race?: Human

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Thomas McThorne - Age: 23 - Height: 6'1 - Weight: ~180 lbs (muscular build) - Hair Color: Brown

His father, previously a Guard in the Oren Army, instilled loyalty and respect for the Kindgom of Oren in Thomas. Not forcing Thomas to join the Oren Army, however, his father did teach him how to handle weapons, and fairly effectively. More recently, Thomas's father had retired from the Army and became a successful and rather wealthy merchant....of sorts. Thomas, starting at the age of 14, began accompanying his father on his merchanting expeditions. Thomas developed a love for the seas and adventure; he enjoyed the wealth this occupation brought, however, it was merely a bonus.

In utter disagreement on his fathers newfound success, Thomas's mother had left his father. With disgust in his mothers actions, Thomas refuses contact and association with her and gave complete loyalty to his father.

In the most recent of years, Thomas lost his father...ironically, not to bloodshed, but to a violent storm that capsized his ship. In complete despair, Thomas, with only what he salvaged from the wreck, retreated socially and began to live a life in which many would deem unacceptable. Living on the outskirts of towns, moving from place to place, making his way by any means necessary. It is only until recently that Thomas has decided to come back to a more civilized life.

His life, thus far, has created, on one hand, a bitter, angry, young man with no family, friends, or place to call his own. On the other hand, he is a respectable, fair, and loyal human. Only the future can tell what Thomas will get himself into and how he will grow as a man.

Your characters ambitions: I now wish to come back to a more civilized way of life. Being a vagabond no longer fits me...I yearn for more. I am open to many opportunities in this life and of ways to make a living....whether they come by more legitimate means or not. I would like to find a group of individuals to become a part of....perhaps even the Army.

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? *Thomas sneaks around bushes and trees to get a better view of the scenario* "Hey! Over 'ere y'fools!" One bandit runs to Thomas and is quickly subdued by a well placed arrow shot. Quickly, the other bandit retreats. *Thomas sighs* "An' what was that all 'bout?!", asks Thomas. "A local group of bandits have been harassing me for some time....I do not know if I would have made it out alive this time if it weren't for you...", explains the Elf. "It's nothin'. Tell ya' what....I hear you Elves make some fine brew. Give me a pint of yer best an' we call it even, aye?"

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? "Ay, do y'have any ale?...I'll take the strongest. Perhaps a nice lady to send me back with?" *grins* "The ale I can help you with, sir...however, I will take your comment about a lady to be a joke", says the store owner. *Thomas laughs* "Both of the desires were serious, sir, but I'll be fine with some ale. Could ya' tell me where I could find a good craftsman so I can get me some new arrows?", asks Thomas. "Sure thing sir, I actually have some here." *Transaction is made*
