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.):

Lungora was not born into royalty, He was born to an Aviator father. Lungora grew up on the cold stone decks of his father's airship, he Manned the decks and served as an equal part of the ship until the incident. "It was a fine day, Lungora puttered along the Iron railing of the ship, they were warm from the midday sun. At this time Lungora was around the age of 30, he was just becoming a man. Lungora worked all day, every day working on his father's ship. It wasn't all to exiting, and Lungora, growing up upon the skies was not impressed by the views. Today was particularly Drab, It was endless desert in all directions. The airship was bound to deliver a precious cargo of mainly illegal goods. The first thing that gave notice of the attack was the hard battle cries far benefit the craft, They were Immediately recognised as Elves. Then the first Bolt punctured the stone bowels of the Airship, a shuddering cracking sound filled the air and the second of the Elvish bolt-throwers Let lose another volley. These now caused a rip in the anvelope and made the stone hull plummet towards the sandy earth. Lungora awoke to find himself upon the beach of a dense forest. He did not know how he got here but he now knew that he must survive. Lungora then made his way through the dense forest, it was hard for him for even grass was an unfamiliar thing to step on, but he eventually made it to the capital of the shamanistic dwarves of his lands."

In his time in the great city of Shendar lungora became the high general of the royal airship navy, His tactical abilities easily seen. Lungora also, in his time in the woods, realised his weakness, and he stubbornly tried to conquer it. All that training came to good use in his recent past. "Lungora, now 257, was sent on an exploitive mission. He had been told that there had been recent accounts of elves destroying villages to the far west, Him and his crew were sent to investigate. After around 2 weeks of flying, The dwarves had found their worst fears their were elves. This information had come suddenly, It happened in mere milliseconds. Out of the forests came thousands of arrows, they punctured the antelope and the vast stone craft fell into the earth, almost mimicking Lungora's past. An unknown time later Lungora awoke, Before his eyes sat an Elf, This enraged him and he smashed through the hard wood doors the the recovery room of the temple. Before his eyes sat A temple upon the clouds."

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?

Lungora sees this as a chance to prove his Skills, He draws his bow and shoots one of the guards dead before he the he charges in with his axe and decapitates the other. Lungora then walks away without needing thanks, nor asking for any.

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?

Lungora grunts at the tall pointed ears of the merchant and walks away rather rudely.

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?:

Lungora would not take the bars or the sword for that would be against his honour.

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?

Lungora would ask for sum food and rearming of his almost broken tools, say thanks and then walk away, leaving some item of value in appreciation.

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?:

Lungora would immediately agree, this would make his father proud. Lungora would be shown the direction and go alone to take the honour for himself.

Why did I deny you?

Your definition of powergaming...

There are two types of powergaming, one in actual games, like RPGs such as Skyrim, where you are beating or ignoring storyline. That is the type you mentioned. But, in Asulon, we have a different type, a different form that we despise, that ruins roleplay. Look around, and I promise you, you will find the correct definition.

Airships?

Alright, you mentioned airhsips in your application, some examples:

He was born to an Aviator father. Lungora grew up on the cold stone decks of his father's airship, he Manned the decks and served as an equal part of the ship until the incident.

Then the first Bolt punctured the stone bowels of the Airship, a shuddering cracking sound filled the air and the second of the Elvish bolt-throwers Let lose another volley.

Airhsips have never existed in LoTC, thus, your whole biography needs to be rewritten or heavily edited.

Also, your ORQs were quite short. Improve them, give me a paragraph of proper roleplay in each of them. This is the place you can show us what you will bring to Asulon in terms of roleplay.
