What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Role Play is when one becomes a character, making choices as that character and reacting as they would in each situation. It is a way to escape real life and become someone else.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I play a variant of a table top war-game called LotR strategy Battle game, called Battle companies were we control the party of a company of models, how they act what the do and how they improve. I am also an actor who has done many improvisations in character over a long period of time. I am also hoping to join in with a live action role play as a friend of mine is very keen on it and has schooled me in the ways of it.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is:

It is where you use your own Knowledge in game, instead of keeping to your characters. For example if I was to google the co-ords of a complex.

I expect this server to be a friendly environment where I can enjoy living life as an elf.

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

I have only played on a few servers, but mostly I mostly play on my friend’s server as there is no grieving and we can do what we like, such as battle dragons. We keep tour selves as we are tired of being killed by opps or our base being looted or even destroyed for no reason! This I why I want to join this server.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes I have read and agreed to the rules. It creates a friendly environment for players to enjoy the game and server at the best.

My name is Elrohir.

Biography (Please make this at least 2 paragraphs long. This must include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):

My name is Elrohir son of Elrond, I have a brother named Elladan. I am young for an elf only 1430 ish, when we are travelling it is hard to keep track of time. I digress, I was born in the woodland realm and that is where I stay. Orc folk regally attack my home and I spent the first few hundred years of my learning how to defend my home. After the orc threat had lessened me and my brother set out to find other elven havens. That was our first adventure and after that we could not stay home for too long.

I am fairly normal for an elf, save for my need for adventure and good shot but what can I say. I am an optimistic, kind and helpful elf who loves a good adventure, usually with my brother. We often get mixed up into things that we don’t mean to. But as they say "Uuma ma' ten' rashwe, ta tuluva a' lle" (Don't look for trouble, it will come to you) usually in the form of an orc. I hate orc folk. As I travel in the wild on a regular basis, I can make foods and potions with even just two mushrooms.

What is your Character's ambitions?:

My ambitions...hmmm. Well all I really want is for the eldar to have piece and have fun. But in the short run I will strive for perfection as it is the best way for me to defend my country.

I keep with the simple but effective bow and arrow. But in close quarters I will take to the sword if the need calls for it.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? My elf eyes for archery and elven reflexes. I am ferly good with my foods and simple crafting using only what I find in the wild. One time I found myself stranded on an island with only enough food to last me a day! But I was able to last on that Island for a week, fighting off wild creatures by night and building a bout by day.

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format):

Other Information about your Character: That most of it.

Open-Response-Questions

Whilst traveling from the Cloud Temple you see a small halfling, being harassed by two armed warriors. They appear to be trying to steal money from him, how does your character respond? I would politely ask them “What are you doing you this poor harfling, all members of this wold must be treated equal” and force them to stop. But if it continues I would have to intervene further.

Your character wanders into Alras, and comes across a small stall, behind which a well dressed man is standing. He’s offering various wares, the merchant turns to you and says in a posh accent " 'ello there, what can I do you for today?" What is your character response?

I would ask “What is the news from this land for I have travelled far and have not spoken to anyone all that time” then take a look at the stock, mostly for any Treasure lost from our land. If I find something I like I would ask “how much for this read stone?” but if the price is to high “I do not have this kind of money! the items I seek are not worth so much, you are cheating people out of their money” and leave.

Whilst wandering in the wilds, your character comes across a small hut, which looks abandoned. Inside it you see a chest containing a few iron bars, and a golden sword. How would your character respond?:

It is not mine to take. I would have a look around if someone is around in need then I would help them out. If there is no one about, I would leave in a hurry as danger is surely afoot.

Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you you in the common tongue, how do you respond?

I would greet them my native tong “Elen sila lumenn omentilmo, im Elrohir” (A star shall shine on the hour of our meeting, I am Elrohir). Then and ask for directions and a place to spend the night. I would see if I have anything to trade for food and water. But if I am sent away I would obey am not cause a scene.

You hear word that bandits occupy the road outside the town in which you have been staying. The town guard have gathered, and are asking for assistance to help eliminate them. The leader of the party is offering a reward for any who offer their support. How does your character act on this information?:

I would try to reason with the bandits but failing that I be forced to act. “how many men do you have” I would say to the guard but there are too few. I would scout the area, keeping to the shadows, watching their every move, searching for weaknesses. There are too many of them for a fair fight, the only way to beat them would be to set a trap to capture or kill the bandits. Using the trees to my advantage my companies of guard would jump out at night and put out their torches. This will cause creepers and other nasties to attack their camp and the only safe place left would be the village. Then it’s a simple matter of rounding them up as they stumble in fear. As for the reward I would accept it as I have earned it and anything to help the oldest race will go down well when I return to the capital.
