How much time could you be on the server weekly?:

It will range between 5-10 hours a week to maybe 30+ hours a week. It really all depends on my schedule in real life.

What do you know about Role-playing? Give a definition of what it means to you:

To me role-playing is just engaging yourself in the character you've created and the world he or she is in. Some people get it and some people don't. You have to try to get yourself into the character's shoes, but once you have that feeling of engagement and creativity then there's no turning back. I played on a World of Warcraft Role-play server for five years. I've been larping for longer than that. I know how get myself addicted to the character.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?:

I played on a World of Warcraft Role-play server for five years. I've been larping for longer than that. I know how get myself addicted to the character I've created quite well. I've written stories and even designed maps for the worlds, in which, my character will thrive.

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

I've never heard this term before until now. After reading a definition online, I'm guessing that it's acting out of character in-game in order to take advantage of a situation that your character wouldn't normally know.

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

Playing the game simply to become the strongest character possible. It's the only point of the game, to be the strongest and most feared. To maximize your character is to beat the game.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I'm not really sure yet, but I'm hoping for a rather friendly server where people will embrace you into their towns or cities quickly. I'm looking forward to a rather engaging experience that other servers in the past have not provided.

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

I got banned from Fall of an Empire server, because my comment was taken out context and used as an excuse for my banishment.

"I greif all the time" was the direct quote

I was poking fun of this guy who kept accusing me of griefing because I had killed his friend who was mocking me for my builds. He said that I was a 'greifer'. Really, I was just making fun of his misspelling.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?:

Yes, of course.

Absolutely

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.):

Shortly after his birth, Timpak's mother realized she could not take care of the child with the threat of assassins ever at her back for her debts. She had no choice, but to abandon the child into the wild and leave his fate to whatever would take him. The whining and screaming of the abandoned child was heard from a group of traveling merchant fishermen who were on their way one of their great hidden fishing spots. The Fishermen took the child in and raised him, as if their own. They named him Timpak, after the mystical island that folklore says is home to the largest fish in the world. Timpak was raised to become a great fisherman and excellent cook. He could catch a hundred fish in less than hour, and cook an entire meal for the tribe in shorter time. His skills with the rod and in the kitchen often led to much ridicule from some of the other men in the villages he traveled. In fact, in his early teen years Timpak was a target for many bullies. He was beaten up and robbed by bandits, thieves, and various other scum bags of the world. Timpak grew fed up with this abuse, and began to use his time in the kitchen to also train in the art of the blade. He started off small by practicing cutting chickens and fish. As he became more familiar with the blade, he began to hunt larger game like pigs, cows, and sheeps. Timpak felt a great sympathy towards the animals he killed. He never killed an animal that he did not deem necessary for his own survival. His only goal was to become a better man.

When the time came for Timpak to make his own decision into the world, he left the traveling merchant fishermen and take to adventuring. The first few years of his life after his 17th birthday were difficult and sometimes seemed impossible. He scraped off everything he could and took jobs from villages of all sort. This lifestyle shaped Timpak into a rugged wild man who's love for the forest and adventure made him a sort of legend. They called him Salty Timpak, the greatest fishermen and cook that no one ever saw. Timpak grandest calling came to him when a courier sought him out with a letter delivered directly from the King of Arethor.

"I am hosting a grand feast that will serve hundreds of my loyal subjects! We need a revered cook, such as yourself, to be the master chef of such a ceremony. Timpak, it is your calling to aid us! Meet me at throne of Arethor and we will discuss further my terms. Declining such an opportunity is an act of treason against not just Arethor, but all Human nations."

With little choice, Timpak accepted this offer and was appointed the head chef for feast. Though the challenge of cooking for hundreds of people had complications, Timpak had served every single one of the King's Subjects with a delightful meal! The King of Arethor offered Timpak a more permanent position into the city as his Master Chef, but Timpak declined such an offer explaining that, "In my life I have accomplished so much and yet so little. What I truly desire in this world is love and to find out where I am from." Understandingly, the King let Timpak go with his blessing. So Timpak left the great city of Arethor, with the repuation of a Skilled Cook, Virtuous Soul, and soon to be Legend... Timpak is about 21-23 years old.

Other Information about your Character:

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?

Defend the Halfling from the armed warriors while trying to avoid the harm of any. Timpak's goal would be to get the Halfling out the situation, and do what he can do aid him.

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 have no need for material possession, good sir, but I am looking for work. Do you have any or know of anyone who has a job to offer?"

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?:

My character would leave the supplies there for the owner to return to use. There is a certain amount of respect for fellow nomads in the world, and Timpak understands this. He would not take what he did not need, which would only be food if starving.

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?

"Thank the light! I have a few meager coins to offer you for food and shelter. Do you have room for one more starving soul?"

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?:

Timpak would accept this chance to make a few quick coins for use later, but will not accept to lead this dangerous quest alone. Timpak would travel with the guards to eliminate the bandits in their lair. After the bandits were killed and the reward given, Timpak would return to the wild to scavenge and hunt whatever he could.

Thanks for reviewing my application, and if you have any further questions to ask I would be glad to answer them! Best of luck!

-Wrong definition of powergaming and metagaming.

-Never heard of Arethor, would recommend making it an village not a kingdom. Everywhere in Aegis was discovered and there is no kingdom called Arethor.

-Your open-response answers are too short, add more speeches, more roleplaying actions. Make it as much detailed as possible.

Please wait 24 hours to re-apply.
