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

Roleplaying is a kind of acting. It is playing the part of a character that you have created for yourself and wish to flesh out into full detail. As an experienced role-player I believe that if you do not understand, feel the very emotions, and visualize exactly how you want your character to be then you should not be Roleplaying. Roleplaying should be an emotional attachment to your character, almost as if you are living as the character.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?:I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons for 8 years. I have played World of Warcraft of RP servers and feel up to the experience of this server.

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

Meta-Gaming is using previous knowledge, or knowledge gathered outside of the game to assist you in the game. This could be something as simple as looking up the statistics for a boss fight in Dungeons and Dragons. It could also be something as serious as looking up exploits to use to gain things beneficial to you.

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

I admit I did not know what Power-gaming was and had to do a little bit of research. I found out that power gaming is a style of interacting with games so that you may maximize progress towards a specific goal. Often this is done to the exclusion of other important elements of the game such as comaraderie or storytelling. It is considered to be unsporting, un-fun, and not in the true spirit of the game.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I expect this server to be a hardcore Roleplaying experience that will require lots of time and consideration to be done properly. I also expect that other people on the server will be cordial and considerate with their gameplay in regards to other players including myself. I also expect that it will be a game-world that is constantly built upon and changed by the players.

I have played on the server Beyond Minecraft and I left it because I was not enjoying constant pvp and just building things. I need something more to fulfill my gaming experience.

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.):

I was born in the Great Nation of Malinor in the deep forests of our Ancestors. My family was well respected in our clan and from birth my parents expected me to become a member of the councils of Malinor one day. I learned from the elders from the time I came into the world. During my time learning under the elders I learned many things, including the arts of war, and the virtues of patience and wisdom. I continued to learn from them until I neared my twenty-fifth birthday and at that young age I left the tutelage of the elders and proceeded to pursue my own destiny. Also at that time I reached my current height of 7'0" and my current weight of 183 pounds. I have long golden hair that is similar to most of my race, but normally it is covered with a hood. I am slight in stature and prefer to wear a grey/silver colored travelling cloak most everywhere. The only two items of value I carry upon my person are my bow, and my family pendant, the symbol of my family and the only thing that my father sent with me when I left for seclusion in the forest.

As I explored the world and began to understand the world that I live in, I began to study the ways of the Druids. Much to the dismay of my parents who wished me to follow their plan and become a member of the Hierarchy of Malinor, I decided to cut all ties with civilization and moved into the wilderness to study the ways of the Druids and of the Forests. After many months I settled in a small secluded grove to study and learn for many years. Today, almost fifteen years later I still study in isolation to become a Druid.

On my journeys through the forests of Malinor I have discovered a true calling in the art of Archery and contrary to many members of my race I have discovered that I am fairly proficient at it.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?:

I feel that my most skilled talent is focus. I am able to focus and concentrate on the tiniest detail. I have spent long hours studying the patterns upon the wings of a butterfly as to ascertain whether or not patterns repeat between two individuals.

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?:

Rindfindel watches from the trees with a cautious air around him. When the two warriors continue to harass the halfling Rindfindel seems to grow larger and more threatening. He steps out of the trees in a menacing way and asks the warriors what they think they are doing and why they are doing it. When the warriors taunt him Rindfindel puts an arrow through one of their throats, but before he can do the same to the other warrior the warrior flees. Rindfindel helps the halfling up and checks to see if he is alright. The halfling is injured so Rindfindel gives him a potion of healing and sees him to the nearest town.

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?:

Rindfindel approaches the man who is wearing a colorful assortment of robes and jewelry and examines his wares with a guarded expression on his face. Rindfindel examines the weapons and jewelry that the man is selling carefully as to ascertain the quality of their make and what a fair price for them might be. He decides to make the man an offer on one of the daggers that he is selling. The dagger in question is a beautiful piece of work all the way from the workshops of the Dwarves and encrusted with jewels. Rindfindel quickly offers the man one-hundred gold pieces. The man looks taken aback and states that such a low offer offends him and his pride and makes a return offer of three-hundred gold pieces. Rindfindel shows the man a scratch upon the blade and offers him one-hundred and seventy-five gold pieces. The merchant, not wanting to turn away a potential buyer offers one-hundred and eighty-five gold pieces. Rindfindel accepts and pays him out of a small purse that he takes off the back of his belt. The man thanks him and Rindfindel proceeds across the dusty road to the next line of stalls.

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?:

Rindfindel carefully stalks around the perimeter of the hut and examine it from all angles as to ascertain if it poses any threat to him or nature. No one is present so Rindfindel proceeds to cautiously creep towards the hut. When he reaches the hut he decides to leave the chest alone so as not to take something that belongs to anyone. He then proceeds to search the hut to make sure there is no threat to nature there. As he is searching the house a small party comes out of the woods and hails him. They question Rindfindel as to why he is in their hut. Rindfindel tells them that he was wandering, found the hut, and just wanted to make sure their was no threat to nature there. The leader of the party a hulking muscular man requests that he leaves the hut. Rindfindel, not wanting to cause trouble, decides to go along with his wishes and quickly leaves the hut.

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? :

Rindfindel cautiously replies with a greeting and asks who they are. Rindfindel enters the camp and with a flourish pulls two healing potions out of his travel worn cloak that he made with his skill in herbalism. He offers the potions to the men in the camp in return for food and direction to the nearest town. After receiving the information and the food he politely thanks the men and goes on his way.

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?:

Rindfindel first leaves town and scopes the encampment. He gathers information about how large the party of bandits may be and whether or not they pose a threat to the balance of nature. When it turns out that the bandits are really evil necromancers who are raising the dead in order to attack the town he hastily makes his way back to the town to offer his help because undead are an offense to nature. Rindfindel goes with the party to attack the bandits and uses his skill in archery to aid the other members of the party in whatever way he can. After the triumph of the party Rindfindel refuses compensation and burns the remains of the undead raised by the necromancers.
