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

Roleplaying is where you take the place of a character and you live out every aspect of their lives, including what they like to do, how they talk, what types of things they would do in certain situations, and how they would interact with other people.

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

I think that metagaming is where one uses information outside of the game to make decisions and interactions within the game.

I am looking forward to being on a server where many people are interacting with each other. Another server I have played on is Crafting Innovations. I decided to stop playing on this server because it was more like every man trying to survive for himself and no interaction between people. Also I was getting griefed frequently. I am looking forward to a server where there is much interaction between people, and people are honest and will not grief.

You had the right idea with the bio. I really enjoyed how you actually went into character.

Sadly, though, you have room for improvement.

You need to expand more on the bio and the questions at the bottom. Go into more detail about the cave in, or his life. What happened between age 38 and the present? Add more details, be more creative and use your imagination.

Also "It was awesome." Totally throws the whole dwarven idea of the bio off course.

Same with the open ended questions at the end. Add more detail, more imagination. Get creative with it, explain more about the bandits and such.

Please wait 2 hours to re-apply and goodluck on your next app~
