Your Definition of Roleplaying

Much too short, and somewhat incorrect in accordance to this servers rules regarding it. Roleplaying, in my mind, is not playing a game as if it is real life, it is forming a character and learning from his or her experiences, and creating a personality that you slot into when playing.

Definitions of Meta And Power-gaming

Your metagaming definition needs work, and you didn't have one for powergaming. Try to build up your definitions.

Biography was cliche

Almost everyone has a biography where their parents died, or their mother died during childbirth. Think of something original that we as the app team would want to read, and a character that people haven't RP'ed with a hundred million times.

Answers to the Situation Questions

The elven one shows powergaming, how did you kill the two bandits? How did one not fight back while you were killing the other? You need to examine that character in that situation and decided how he would react and allow the bandits to fight back. Your shopping one was WAY too short, make it INTERESTING. Make the shop keeper try to take your money when you pull it out of your purse, make something happen.

You can repost in 2 hours, so you can go grab a cookie and get to work on editing.

If you have any qualms about your application or need help, please PM me, as I would be happy to see you on the server, your character and your understanding of roleplaying need work.
