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 pull my blade slightly out of it's sheathe and ask what has this halfling done. If they say something like he has stolen from the king. I will ask for some evidence if they say none of my buissness I will take up arms for the innocent halfling. I do not like bullying or bandating I esspcialy hate corrupted officals after I beat them I will strip them of there armor and make them walk to their lord in shame. While I am getting me and the halfling to saftey.

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 will ask what the man is selling if he is selling things that I could use such as food or water I will probably be intrested if he is selling something like building supplies I would just say I am in no need of your supplies but if I am ever in need of such supplies I know where to look.

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.

Denied.

Please edit your application for grammatical and spelling mistakes.

Your definition of roleplaying could use some expansion and is somewhat unclear.

Your definitions of meta and power-gaming could use some expansion and are unclear as well. You do not demonstrate clear understanding of either.

Your biography has many grammatical errors which makes it difficult for to figure our what goes where. Depending on how you read it, you have several different things going on here.

You display mild signs of villainy, but I am not sure if that is you, or the bad grammar. Regardless, any villainous action is against the rules unless you have applied for and have an accepted villain application. Which you are not allowed to apply for until one week after being accepted into the server. If you didn't mean to display any signs of villainy and this was just a simply miss read on my part due to your lack of punctuation in some areas, I apologize, but the denial still stands.

Your open response questions need expansion and should be written in full roleplay. You need to clearly express who your character is and how he will act in these situations, this is your opportunity to give us, the application team, a first taste of your character, and how you will roleplay him.

One final thing, your application is somewhat messy and appears as a wall of text, I had to take extra time to read it because of the poor formatting, and what I mean by that is, your headings aren't bolded, your text kind of runs together, you have no spaces in between questions and answers.. An so on and so on. However, not vital, makes me and other application teams happy, and far less grumpy while reading your application.

You seem to be on the right track, just push yourself a little bit more, and aim for greatness. Make something spectacular, you cannot just slip through the cracks doing the bare minimum. Make something worthwhile, and prove that you have what it takes to be a roleplayer and a part of this server. Thank you for applying!

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!
