What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.:Roleplaying is being an alternate you and sticking to that character no matter what you would do personally (if your character was evil you would not help innocent people).

In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are.I think that powergaming is where people give others no chance to resist or fight back in in RPGs the powergamer would make himself the strongest person being almost godlike and always coming out on top. Example: in a hostage situation the powermakerwould always be the hostage taker while effortlessley taking people. Meta gaming is where people take things from the screen like a name tag above someones head then talking to them using their name without even asking or being told. Example: Hakan and Ravolon see eachother, Hakan the powergamer goes to Ravolon and says hello Ravolon as that is what his tag said instead of saying hello sir I'm Hakan pleased to meet you, what's your name.

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):Cresaran was from a wealthy merchant family from a small village. His father was a very savvy businessman that was a veteran in the army and his mother was an intelligent Healer. Every day Cresaran went to his local academy and was taught very well and he left once his work was done there. Every time he finished his work early he would go and train in the back yard on the training dummies with his wooden sword and bow. At weekends he helped his father at the market selling goods and making a healthy profit for his family. After many years on this routine he became proficient at archery and swordsmanship and learned the merchant's trade.

People used to mock him and he would simply say a few witty words and they shut up or if they didn't he would punch them as his sword training gave him a good punch aswell.

When Cresaran was 16 he met an ork named Malkan that had moved to the village from Krugmar but he was very vague about his past. One day Malkan went missing in the woods and Cresaran and some friends set off to find him. Cresaran’s friend Eadar had taught him some tracking skills which allowed him to find Malkan’s path. They came to a grove that had been burned down which made Cresaran wonder whether Malkan was generally lost, or hiding something. On the other side of the grove was a graveyard built into the side of a rock face. When they approached an array of skeletons and zombies burst out of the ground and swarmed Cresaran’s companions. The sky turned blood red and clouds gathered around the graveyard. Cresaran went berserk and slayed many of the reanimated corpses before he was finally brought down with an arrow in the shoulder. Cresaran held his wound, desperately trying not bleed out. He drew his knife and hurled it at an attacking zombie bringing it crashing to the ground. He thought it was all over as a skeleton loomed over him drawing an arrow ready to end Cresaran’s life. The skeleton pulled the string back but as Cresaran saw his life flashing before him, Eadar unleashed a deadly flurry of arrows that butchered the enemies surrounding him. “Come on!” shouted Eadar as he pulled Cresaran to his feet and ran for cover. They wrapped his wounds up and as he walked from behind the crypt he saw that the fight over and his group was safe. “We must find the cause of these abominations and stop them at their cause” he yelled heroically. “Wait look in the crypt” said Eadar “there’s a button” “I think you might be onto something Eadar” said Cresaran “press it”. The crypt opened up a gap and they ventured into the depths of the unknown. After travelling through a winding maze of interlocking tunnels they saw an opening. In it was a large open room with stone floor surrounded by lava, in the centre was a stone table with a hooded man sat down on it. “So” said the man “it seems that you have caught onto my scheme”. “Say, how were my minions? Were they a challenge for you” “They were good, but not good enough “said Cresaran “now tell me who are you”. “Me?” said the man, “I am Malkan the newest member of the undead, in fact they were so impressed with my skills that they made me a necromancer already, not just some petty novus”. “Time for you to die Malkan” yelled Cresaran as he charged at him with his blade. A bloody battle insued, a fight between sword arm and spell. Gouts of fire scorching and ravaging his skin were not enough to stop Cresaran’s relentless efforts. Finally Cresaran swung his blade round and slashed Malkan in his ribs, sending him clattering to the floor. “You’ve betrayed us all Malkan, and now it’s time for you to die” and with this Cresaran thrusted a sword through his chest, piercing his twisted heart. And so they left the Barrow and returned to the Village as heroes, praised for their triumphant victory.

When he was 24 a group of bandits attacked the village and Cresaran drew a sword in it's defence. He killed a few of the bandits with his bow and sword but his father commanded him to fall back to the woods and so he did. When he returned the villiage was littered with the corpses of the bandits and his father was clearing up the mess "well done my son I am proud of you" "for what?" asked Cresaran. "For saving my life lad, if it wasn't for you those bandits would have overwhelmed me" "but you killed far more than me" said Cresaran modestly, "it seems your time has come lad, this is your coming of age, go to the Cloud Temple of Aegis and see where it takes you, follow your instinct lad and do the Haraddan family proud" "goodbye dad" and so he set off and left his village behind and searched for new land and prosperity.

Your characters ambitions: To create a strong merchant trading town with a strong military force to avenge his villiage and join the Rangers of the Forest

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? He would kill the bandits then drop a hint that he wants to be paid for his help while not extorting the elf

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?"Hello my good man have you got any rare items for sale?" or "sorry my friend I am not interested"

A screenshot of your skin:My skin

Other Information: There used to be a link to Spoutcraft and the server texture pack where has this gone. Also I have had to retype my application because once I had finished it I checked my skin link in the preview section and it changed my webpage and when I tried to return to it, it said that it had expired.
