1-2 hours a day during the week. maybe an hour on sundays but I work week-ends.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.:

I know about roleplaying but I dont have much experience taking part in it. It's all about immersing yourself into a character. Assuming a new personality and traits are all part of the game. It's something I really want to get into.

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

I wasn't initially familiar with the concepts but a little research has lead me to believe that

Metagaming is where you take information that the character you are roleplaying as couldnt possibly know and use it to your advantage.

Powergaming is where a person roleplaying takes advantage of other players by leaving them no options for roleplaying. Or in other words forces the other players to do things via the roleplaying system for example if a person was having a conversation and suddenly a player says "player puts duct tape on other players mouth".

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I have no idea, that's what makes it so enticing. I hope it will be like a fantasy book or world. Where heroes rise and fall. Where villains seek control of the world and wreak havoc upon the land. All the while the average person tries to go about their lives as if this isn't happening around them.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?:

pvp.Madgaming.eu and I didn't leave I'm a moderator there but it's very hard to engage in the play whilst also remaining unbiased so it can take the fun out of playing which is why i seek out other servers while I'm not busy there.

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

Briefly:

Valos was born on a stormy night to a howling wind and rain. Both his mother and father were simple farmers but Valos was born with bright red eyes indicating that his lineage may not have been pure. He lived on his father's farm until he was 14 when a passing traveler saw him messing with some redstone gates. He offered to teach Valos about the workings of the world and of machines at his school a small way away from Alras. Valos's Father couldn't handle the farm by himself and wouldnt let him go. Valos said that if he could make the farm automatic would he be allowed to go and learn. Valos's father agreed and to the surprise of Valos's Father and the traveler Valos made the farm automatic in less then a day.

Valos learned the way of redstone circuitry and physics until he was 18 when bandits attacked the school while he was out collecting redstone. His teacher and the other pupils died in the attack. Valos' Heart was filled with rage. He lost his desire and yearning for knowledge after the attack. He could not justify in his heart the pursuit of knowledge while there was still so much chaos in the world and he took up the sword in order to bring peace to the world.

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?

Kills them. Memories of his school on fire cause him to go into a blood rage. He slaughters them mercilessly and leaves without saying a word to the elf. After he had calmed down he regrets how he butchered them but he knew he had to for the good of the world.

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?

I'm looking to sell a few of these wares I have gathered while on my travels. What can I get for these?

Biography needs work

Open ended responses need work

Simply putting in "Kills them" is unacceptable for example.
