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

I am a tall, muscular Human, I hail from the city of Salvus where my father was a blacksmith, creating weapons for those rich and noble, his crafts were of exquisite quality. I have never known my fathers name as he had died while fighting off bandits when I was young, but a small boy, only at the age of four I was told. My mother, Adriana, was a merchant, short but fit for her age, she has long blonde hair which has become saturated over the years, she has yellow-green eyes and very dante hands and feet. I have heterochromia iridus, one eye green, the other blue, this leads me to believe my father had blue eyes. My mother never speaks of my father as she breaks down in tears whenever she thinks about him, I guess she may have saw the incident. My mother is now at the grand age of 59, she stopped running the store when she fell ill, years ago, she had contracted some disease which makes her forget everything which has happened the past day. I am 32 years old, I wish to follow in the footsteps of my father, becoming a blacksmith. I have short brown hair, and I am very fond of precious gems. I seek the thrills of combat, I train so that if the day comes, when bandits might attack, I'll be ready unlike my father. I am a brute, strong, but intellectually diminished, moving around can be a hassle.— Ashley Mckinnon, Today 1:24 PM

Master the axe, allowing himself to understand the axe like the back of his hand

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?

Rexaar sees two bandits attacking an elf in a nearby stall, a market surrounds him, no shops open, no signs of life, omitting the fact an elf was struggling. He walks over to the three, his hand on his sword, ready for a bandit to turn around and attack, “excuse me” he says “what are you doing to this elf?” the bandits turn around, forgetting the elf, and focusing their attention on the tall, muscular figure, “What you want?” says one of the bandits, it was obvious he hadn't learnt common tongue properly, Rexaar walks up to the pair of bandits, as the elf slips away unnoticed, He was much, much taller than the bandits, at least two foot taller. The bandits unsheathe their blades, the daggers covered in a slimy substance, dripping with translucent green ooze. “Leave you die” Says the same bandit from before, the bandits turn around and look at where the elf was, they turn back towards Rexaar “Where elf?” says the bandit again, angrily. The bandit attacks Rexaar and stabs him in the stomach, he was caught off guard, he could feel the wet slime go into his bloodstream, causing extreme pain, this was obviously fast acting poison with a highly acidic substance that had been put in. “What the hell!?” Shouts Rexaar, he unsheathes his axe, pulls it behind his head, and throws it down, splitting the bandits head in half, the last bandit, jumped on Rexaar's back holding his dagger to his neck, the bandit stabs the dagger in his chest, probably aiming for the heart. Rexaar suffers excruciating pain as he faints.

Rexaar wakes up, bandages across his chest and stomach, he sees an elf, the same one from before, “So, why were the bandits attacking you?” he says “It was beca.....I stopped it because I would have continued to write an entire story....

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

Rexaar walks up to the stall in a busy marketplace, hoping to find some food, and maybe to try and scam some minas. “Greetings” says the merchant, surprised at the size of the man. “How may I help you, sir?” Rexaar puffs out his chest and announces “I require food” he points to the fish hanging by string at the back of the stall, the fish were huge and he wondered how they were being held up. “of course sir” says the merchant, he grabs the fish and puts it on the counter. “twenty minas, sir” says the merchant. “Twenty minas!? That price is very steep, it's not even cooked!” Rexaar says in his bold, loud voice. “This be a scam!”. “S-sir, k-keep it down” the merchant says trembling, his voice stuttering. “how about 5 minas a piece?” he continues. “I'll take all of them” Rexaar says, “all of them? Are you sure?” says the merchant. “I am as sure as your face being beaten in if you don't give me them” announces Rexaar. The merchant grabs a large net and puts all 31 fish in it. “That will be 150 minas” Rexaar hands over a small sack of minas and walks towards another merchant. “I'd like to sell these as 10 minas each” he says to the next merchant, taking out six fish for himself. “That is very generous of you sir” The merchant says, counting the fish, he places 250 minas on the table. Rexaar takes the minas and walks away with the fish, he had just made 100 minas profit, and gotten free food.

Work on your grammar and presentation. Your first application was nice, where did all the formatting go?

Is metagaming good or bad?

Expand a little more on powergaming - there is also a type where a character is too powerful.

Did your friend write your biography for you? If they did, you need to write it yourself. Your biography is a little cliche, and at times seems a little Mary Sue-ish. This may help you look for the warning signs.

If you absolutely have to kill your father off, at least explain more about how he died. You should write your biography in third person.

Your first open reponse question is a huge block of text, space it out a little. You powergame at times; you cannot just split the bandit's head in two. You are in the wilderness, not in a market. Don't end the scenario in mid-sentence, find a more appropriate place.

You cannot intimidate or exploit a merchant without having a villain application, I suggest you rewrite your second open reponse question.
