How much time could you be on the server weekly?:

10 hours and more.

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

Its about creating a character that you will enjoy playing, using your imagination to make him alive. I like to first study the history of the world that my character will enter before I will decide for him bakcground and characteristics. After that I try to focus my acting on the way others see me. The more in character I can stay the more I enjoy myself.

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

Metagaming- Using information or resources that are out of game to affect ingame decisions or actions, these leads to playing out of character. For example: if I have a problem with bandits rather than look for their camp in game, I enter forum and keep searching there for informations(anyking) that I will explore to gain unfair advantage on my opponents.

Powergaming- Focusing mainly on character advance with goods or experience and ignoring important parts of gameplay such as story, acting in character, socializing and so on. Also not accepting bounds that your character have when staying in character. Fo example: petty criminal wont fight until death (like some berserker becouse his player dont like losing) with group of guards, but rather try to run and when cought, surrender.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

A new world with countless possibilities to play my character. Also a chance to improve my English and meet great people that have similar taste in what RP should look like.

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

Sacred Labirynth, bashcraft, legendary craft, and others that I cant even remember. To many palyers with skins that ruin mood, acting like mining/killing machine. Or to many players paying to distance themself from others.

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

Karanos Thiell was the Fourth son born in family of stonemasons. His childhood contained mostly of hard work with stones and buildings. His family was wealthy for there was need of fortifications at that time in Oren kingdom. Yet they werent rich enough for Karanos to inherit anything from his parents. Thats why when Karanos reached the adult age he left his home and set out to travel the world.

Although skilled with stonemasonry Karanos qickly realized that no one would hire craftsman without an eqipment. In a town of Salvus he found himself hungry and without any money left. At that time he thought of a plan to survive. After looking in a right places he found a group of bandits and convinced them that he knew of a wealthy merchant that travels with great number of goods between cities. For that information he requested a few minas. Bandits agreed, but warned Karanos that he will get his money only if his informations prove to be true. Next day Karanos led the bandits few miles from a city and together they prepared to attack merchant when he will be passing by. It didnt take much time for the traveler that suited Karanos plan to appear. When a wealthy looking man passed near their position Karanos give a signal. With a loud cry, to scare even more their target, bandits attacked merchant. Suddenly their leader fell on the ground with an arrow in his back. Before remaining four realised what happened two more joined the corpses on the ground. Qickly remaining bandits decided what to do, and ran from the fight to forest. After few seconds Karanos heard screams coming from direction the two run off and congratulated himself, for three days he spent preparing traps around this place werent in vain. When no witness were left alive Karanos come closer to merchant and told him how he spotted these villains when hunting and decided to stop them before they hurt someone. Reliefed merchant thanked Karanos and offered him Minas for saving him. Karanos claimed the prize and asked if he could join merchant in his travel for as they just saw the roads are dangerous for lonely wealthy man without a bodyguard. Merchant agreed with haste.

When they reached merchant hometown Karanos not only had a money to continue living but also earned good reputation through his companion stories that he told at every inn during their way. With these, Karanos started anew, as a sellsword. For reasonable amount of money Karanos were hired as a mercenry or guard for the next dozen of years. During that time he gathered around him a small number of companions that he led between cities and settlements in search for a wealth and fame.

-Karanos is thirty years old. He is tall and stringy becaose of his life as a mercenary. His hair are brown and he has black eyes. He wears crest that he earned(or so he say) during one of his battles. Though not a master of a sword, Karanos is skilled in fortyfications and bow. He has cold calculating mind and always look for a profit for himself. When he speaks, compared to his rude appearence, his calm and pleasant voice surprise his interlocutors.

Your characters ambitions:

To earn fair ammount of gold so that he can buy everything that his life lacked so far. Maybe with a little luck Karanos will be able to raise to high position in kingdoms of man so that he will create his own household and family.

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?

Seeing this scene Karanos walked calmly in their direction and drew a sword. Bandits broke from a fight and backed off a little to see what new opponent will do.-God be praised.-"Said elf with a relief."-Thank you for coming to my aid, knight. I dont know what I would... -Karanos raised hand and bent fingers in commonly know gesture.-"How much, lad."-He said with grim grin. -"Pardon me?"-Elf asked surprised. -"A fee, lad, I work anly for a fee. Show me some gold and we shall see."-For a moment elf stood in place speechless. -"How dare... ten, ten minas" -Elf redded on face from anger.-"Now we're talking, lad. Boys!"- Karanos turned suddenly to two bandits.-"And how much ye are determined to pay for help, eh?"

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?

Karanos noded in short greeting to one of the customers that just went in. Tall man replied with the same gesture. After a moment of thinking Karanos spoke to shop owner: -"Well, for start let me see what arrowheads ye have on stock, merchant. I'm in need of these." When shop owner returned with merchandise Karanos watched carefully each of arrowhead and grabbed ten of them.-"These I shall take. For another matter, did my book arived?" Shop owner smiled. -"Why, yes it did, as I remember correctly the "Art of Fortification" by the pen of master Argen. Correct me if Im wrong but didnt master Argen based it on long lost "Propugnaculum" from Great Al'khazar Library? Give me a moment, I left it in storage."-When shop owner left, Karanos stood still for a while. Suddenly he draw dagger and slashed hand of a child that tried to steal his purse. He paid no attention when young thief fall on the floor screaming an bleeding.
