Time-Zone/Country of Residence: UTC-8, Pacific Time Zone, In Sunny California!

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: I feel that I have a pretty good sense of English grammar and language, myself being born in Europe and knowing 2 languages. So yes, I would say I have a good knowledge and grip on English grammar and language.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I was born in Lithuania which is in Europe where I lived for 2 years, till i moved to California! Now I am in 9th grade, and a person who loves having a good time, being with friends, playing video games, and playing basketball. I hope to when I grow up, to become a video-game designer, specifically Role-Playing games!

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: I could spend approxiamtely an hour to about 2 hours and 30 minutes a day. Frankly, it all depends on the homeworkload. Weekends I can play around even hours a day. So weekly i can spend about 9 hours a week.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: I believe Roleplaying is the act of when you can step into a characters shoes and accomplish a dream that you want to conquer. My character would be a very happy one and somebody you could trust and rely on.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I’ve played a couple of Role-Playing Games. When I was younger I played Runescape at times. Also Skyrim is a game that a like a lot and I feel like it so far has been my favorite Role-Playing Game. Hopefully, that will change soon

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: My knowledge of metagaming is when someone knows about something they shouldn't really know about it, probably due to someone else telling them about it. You take outside knowledge and use it within the game.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Powergaming is when you work extremely hard to get one thing, an example in Minecraft is spending 24 hours in a mob spawner killing the mobs to gain experience to enchant your item. You become literally become more powerful than anyone else and you use everything in your power to make sure something goes your way.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect it to be a server where you can have a great time; especially due to the role-playing having such a big part in this.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have played on a Hunger Games server, but it was unfortunately abused by corrupted admin and players, who used hacks to take advantage of the game.

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’d go up an’ give these'so called warriors 'a taste of thy' own medicine if 'ya ask me. I'd put the poor little halfling in a safe refugee and then take care of them warriors. I’d expect some trouble, knowin' that I won't get questions from those' thugs, so I'd take care of it' the hard way. I surely wouldn't slay them, but rather make sure that they'd think twice about comin' back.”

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? “Oh, ya' got 'anythin that can make me a nice' little dagger sheathe. Been lookin' for one of those for centuries! It's fine if ya got none' just been so anxious to get me' one o' those." "Lucky, you!" says the merchant! "I've got one left just for you! It's Orcish make!"...."Oh thank-you thy friendly 'merchant, I'll remember 'ya"

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?: “An abandoned hut ain’t never the' best. I’d search' the poor' lil' place and check' for any evidence of life or' a presence that's been 'ere recently. If not, gotta' take some valuables for myself. A gold sword helps at any' time' Honestly' if it was dwarven make' I'd probly' take it' no matter the case!"

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’d probably ask' the fellows if' them' got any of that' venison meat'. Always helps a hungry stomac' the' good ol' crispy meat. If they do I'd gots' to reward them for their kindness, with a nice package of dem' Orcish Mushroom Stew'. If not 'blimey I'd 'jus go on me way away from that dreaded' place."

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’d most likely jus' go undercover and help the poor' little guards. Take cover' from tree to tree and if' they got it' under control I'd leave them be. If their lives are hangin' by a hair' I'd help them defeat these bandits.”

Why did I deny you?

Alright, you are definitely getting closer. I see you took my advice, and I am extremely thankful for that. I accidentally left something out of my review last time, and it was that your bio was too short. It included made up locations, no actual lore regarding the move to Asulon, and had no flaws, personality aspects, fears or quirks. Fix that up, eh?

Also, I am really happy that you changed your definitions. The powergaming definition though, is definitely part of powergaming, but is not the type that we are looking for. I really, really suggest for you to look at the links below.

Also, when I said 'roleplay' in the ORQs, I meant act as if your character is there, as if you are writing a book and your character is well, the character. For example,

'William run's up, flanking the men, sweating, huffing, puffing. He was not used to this kind of strain, but he would fight all the same.'

That is roleplaying, and that is what I want you to do in your ORQs (Open Response Questions)
