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 quickly cast a magic spell that prevents anything living aside from me to get within 3 feet of him. I run to help him up, then shoot the warrior in the crack of their armor in their arms. Nothing too serious, but they'll think twice about robbing him again. I uncast the spell, then leave.

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 say "Hello sir. Do you have any arrows that you might be willing to trade?" As a small child, I learned to speak many languages.

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?:I take it, then take it home to a merchant, in hope of getting some money.

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?"Hello. I have been traveling for quite some while, and I and hungry. Would you be kind enough to spare some food, then some directions to Normandor?"

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 jump on the offer. Since bandits cannot resist money, I leave a large golden ingot on the street, cast a spell on it so nobody but me can get within 2 inches of it, then hide. As soon as they come and try to steal it, I shoot arrows at them. Thats a group of bandits taken care of. I retrieve my gold, then go and collect my reward.

Your definition of meta-gaming needs to be expanded upon.

Your definition of power-gaming in the context of this server is wrong, perhaps searching some of the guides that our dedicated members have made, or even looking upon the wiki, will help.Or just do a plain old Google search, but remember, when searching for it that you are looking for power-gaming in the context of roleplaying.

Your biography could do with more development, and you cannot start with magic, that is something you must learn through vigorous roleplay.

A side-note, parkour is a rather unprofessional way of saying he is excessively athletic.

An actual screenshot of your skin, not the texture is required. Open up minecraft and hit F5 and then you can snap a screenshot with F2 or the prt scr keys.

Your open responses need further development, and you CANNOT use magic. Also do not be afraid to get creative and push the envelope around. And please write your open response questions in full roleplay. Show me, and the other application team members that you understand what it means to roleplay. That is the purpose of the open response questions, and short hand won't get you far.

Overall, you need to remove the magic from your application and expand upon some details in your biography and then use those details to clearly depict who your character is in roleplay, via the open response questions.

You will be allowed to reapply in twenty four hours, if you have any questions regarding your application feel free to drop a PM in my inbox.

Good luck!
