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

metagaming is when you find or get information outside the game and you implement that knowledge/information into the game. Some people see this as cheating because people can skip major parts of a game.

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

Powergaming is when a character is overpowered and doesn't consider any consequences of his powers and can just do everything infinitely. Some people see this as unsociable and not fun. It is basically making you character being incredibly powerful/overpowered, for example, infinite health, morphing etc. There has to be limits otherwise things can get out of control.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I expect and hope that this server will be full of life, vast and have an infinite amount of things to do. (within reason :D) I also hope for it to have a fair, friendly and respectful community with incorrupt admins, mods etc.

I have played on many servers and have enjoyed them all thoroughly. Foxtopia.me was one of my favourite servers in 1.7.3 But after that (beta 1.8 and up to now) I believe that the admins and mods had became corrupt and weren't taking the server seriously. There were also a lot of griefers and not a very good structure to the server, so I decided to leave. I have also played on Outbreak PvP server very recently which is a lot of fun and I've played on many of my friend's servers.

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.):

Not much is known about Katsuro. He grew up in a little village hidden inside the shrouded mountains with his brother, Kataka and father, Rikodou. He was trained in dark deception by his dad. The mother has thought to have been murdered by Rikudou. He wanted to spend all his time training and developing his two sons from the day they were born so they could live on the family name in honour, "Sennin". Rikudou didn't want anyone else interfering.

Katsuro grew up only seeing his brother and father. Months and years went past, brawling with his brother to gain equal strengths. He also went hunting in the Forests and climbed Mountains; nothing was stopping him from receiving strength.

The boys father is said to have been killed in battle. Katsuro and Kataka were left alone. Nevertheless Katsuro continued to train and battle his equal, getting stronger and more ferocious by the night. Then, one day Kataka went missing. Katsuro could see there was a journey ahead. He had to find his brother, it was all he had left. Things were going to be tough. Leaving his village for good, he set out. The journey was long and the road was hard. Katsuro had to swim in the deepest oceans, cross treacherous dunes and climb through the highest jungles. It was endless.

Finally, after years of searching and travelling, Katsuro found a lead. He stumbled across a very large dome. It looked old and rusted. Katsuro decided to step inside and search around. His brother had to be close. He wandered through endless tunnels, finding nothing but veins of coal, iron, lapis etc. It looked hopeless.

"FLASH!". A shadow of movement past behind Katsuro. He drew his bow ever so slightly, trying not to make any unnecessary noise. Katsuro ripped his arm up to fire an arrow, only to find he was hitting air. Then, in the corner of his retina, a pair of firey red eyes stood before him. It was Kataka. Katsuro drew his bow and Kataka drew his blade simultaneously and.............

Recorded history says that Kataka died on this day. Katsuro's whereabouts are unknown. Katsuro had slain Kataka. All that is left is Katsuro's clothing on the day of the battle. It was predominately black lightweight robes with crimson red trimmings. His favourite colours were red and black. The underside was a black overhaul with three quarter length trousers. Simple slip ons were also in the abundance of materials. It is also believed that Katsuro was around the age of 23 on the day of his disappearence.

Katsuro is born fighter and a knowledgable man on the battlefield. he can manipulate his targets and the way they fight with him. His control and sheer confidence can win him most battles. Along side with these traits, Katsuro carries with him a trusty enchanted bow given to him by his father. It was made from strong Birch wood and Spider string. At the end of his arrows are sharp pieces of flint which can pierce through any armour or tough skin. Katsuro's intelligence also helps him get through speedy opponents. His retinas move move place and can sometimes remember people fighting sequences and skills. He is also decent at archery, fishing and endurance. Katsuro is a serious, unpredictable character and is a determined and loyal "Sennin" who will do anything to keep the family name in honour.

This is Katsuro's Legacy. This, is Katsuro's story.

What is your Character's ambitions?:

To form an almighty clan and become very powerful. He would also like to gain more knowledge in basic skills such as fishing, crafting, farming etc.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):

Bow

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

Archery with my trusty bow handed down by my father. I'm quite the marksman.

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?

Katsuro stands clear of the quarreling and goes to inform the nearest guard to him. It is none of his business to get involved with such frays. For all he knows the small halfling could've been invloved in some dodgy dealing with the warriors. It is his affairs, not Katsuro's.

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?

Katsuro doesn't respond. He simply nods, admires the merchant's goods and goes on his way promptly. Katsuro is quite the craftsmen and rather makes tools, armour and wares by himself. This as a cheaper option and it doesn't waste unecessary money which could go to the towns safety, improving guards fighting abilities and their supplies etc.

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?:

Katsuro checks his surroundings for any signs of life. There is none, so he takes the iron bars and golden sword. Katsuro's says in his mind "These treasures wouldn't be here in the open if someone was wanting or keeping them safe. It is clear that there's no one here and that the chest's contents belongs to no one.

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?

Katsuro's response is a friendly but serious tone, showing them that he means no harm and likes to say hi, yet also meaning that he's not here for any trouble and just wants to carry on travelling 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?:

Katsuro checks to see if he has the necessary equipment to fight off the bombardment of bandits occupying the road. He has enough arrows, enough food and strong armour to help him in the heed of battle. Katsuro gears up with the guards and aims his bow, ready for the first wave/onslaught. He knows what he has to do and protecting the village and the people's safety is all that is on his mind right now.
