I have been on a few servers in multiple games and have roleplayed before. To me it means you take up the role of another character. You give them a story and you play it out as if you are the character. You act with their motives and not your own.

Powergaming means to make your character say or do something that is succsessful without letting the other player react or have a chance.

E.G. Saying that you stole the other players money or items without letting them do anything. Or saying that your character has tied the other player up and killed them with one blow of their axe.

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.):

Kagbur found himself in depths of a dark cave. He didn't know his name, age, or what he even looked like. He knew that he must leave the cave. He started gripping the rocks with a firm grasp and began his ascent up the wall. As he got to the top he could see light peeping through a gap in the wall. He began to kick very hard at it. He was hoping it would crumble. He tried for ages but he could not get it to break open. A little later that day, as he had sat and thought of ways to get out, he managed to here talking from out side. He saw some legs moving past the hole.

He yelled, “Ey, help me. I'm stuck in 'ere!”

The talking stopped and he heard a reply. “Stand back!”

Dirt and rock started flying past him as the men started digging away at the wall. A few minutes had passed and he was eventually able to crawl out.

The men stood and asked him, “What is ye name? And how did ye get stuck in there?”

Kagbur replied with a simple, “I don't know.”

One of the men asked, “ What? Ye don't even know ye own name?”

“I must've fallen and hit my head, I can't remember anything.”

The men helped Kagbur back to the nearest town. Some people in the town took care of him and got him patched up.

He asks around for the name of the town and land he is in. He then discovers he is in Solace, a part of the region called Salvus. He is told that the land he is in is called Asulon. He begins helping around the town with various jobs. One day he was working at the black smith and finds out how very much he enjoyed crafting the metals into weapons and armour for the army. He was recognised as “that Dwarf Who Helps”. He decided he would call himself Kagbur Copperfist.

The army could see how much work he had done in smithing and hired him to help out with the repairing of their weaponry and armour. He enjoyed it very much.

Kagbur was short tempered at times but friendly. He loves to drink and craft weapons. He has light brown hair and a scraggly beard. He does not know his eye colour as he has never checked. He also despises Endermen. Or “those big black pillars” as he calls them. He finds them too tall, and always tries to charge at them.

Sometimes people would make fun of him as he was so small. He would shout at them and scare them away.

What is your Character's ambitions?:

Kagbur hopes to help anyone in need and have enough money to feed himself.

What is your character’s favourite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):[/b

His trusty pickaxe.

Open-Response-Questions

Whilst travelling 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?

Kagbur runs to the halfling's side he quickly draws a sword and holds off the warriors. One of the warriors seems to be older than the other, and he laughs at how easy it would be to kill a young human. Kagbur pushes back one of the warriors with his foot and spins his blade through the older one. He doesn't seem to die, but he replies with a quick swing of the blade and manages to cut open Kagbur's arm. Kagbur grunts and quickly drives his sword through the older warrior's stomach. The younger one turns to face Kagbur. Kagbur can see the fear in his eyes, he yells at the warrior loudly spitting in his face and he turns and runs, tripping on a crack in the road. The halfling turns and thanks Kagbur and offers him some money. Kagbur replies, "No thanks, I'm only here to help." He smiles and trots off into the woods.

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?

Kagbur:"Hail, who might ye be?"

Merchant: "My name is Joden, and yours?"

Kagbur: "I be Kagbur, could I please see some of ye finest pickaxes?"

Merchant: "Sure I'll show you what I have in stock. We have some newly crafted iron pickaxes here made by some Orcs down the road, they produce some fine wares. Would you like to test it?"

Kagbur: "Yes thank you" *takes it in his hand* "oh it's nice and heavy just the way I like it. How much for it?"

Merchant: "Oh we have discounts for first timers, probably for you sir, maybe 60 minas."

Kagbur: "Oh yes very cheap, I'll take one iron pickaxe then thank you." *hands Joden 60 minas*

Merchant: "Thank you have a nice day, come again soon."

Kagbur: "I will do thank you, I'll tell my friends as well."

*smiling Kagbur walks away feeling very happy at such a cheap pickaxe, he goes home and tells some of his friends*.

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?:

Kagbur opens the chest and is surprised to see some very valuable items. He is unsure who owns the house and decides to leave it all alone. He trots away down the hill. Later that night he finds himself in a drinking contest at the local inn. He had lost a lot of money. Kagbur was very drunk and had been telling someone about the house he had seen on the hill.

*Two weeks later

Kagbur was working down in the mines when news came from atop. Some raiders were attacking the village, all the men down the mines were called to arms. As they geared up Kagbur noticed someone was missing. The man he had had the drinking contest with two weeks ago. Kagbur started to think where he might be. He shrugged the thought off and turned to climb out of the hole he was in. He squinted through the sun's rays to see houses on fire people screaming and dying everywhere. The Dwarves fought for their town eventually driving the attackers off. Kagbur had just seen the man he was drinking with run out of town. Kagbur chased after him. Running was something hard for Kagbur as he had short stumpy legs. He notices that the man started climbing the hill towards the house he had seen the other week. As Kagbur drew closer he slowed down and hid behind a bush.

The man began to open the chest and as he did Kagbur jumped out and shouted, “What are you doing?”

The man turned slowly and whispered, “Killing you .... my dear.”

The man grabbed something from the chest and the next thing Kagbur saw was a shining blade coming towards him. He managed to block it with his pickaxe. Kagbur was no fighter and knew he could not defeat this man. He turned and ran away.

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?

Kagbur asks for some food and offers the little amount of money he can. They hand him some mouldy and stale bread from a barrel. They don't look happy with him. He then asks around for some maps, he is offered one leading to the temple. He thanks the person and takes it with a smiling face. Kagbur then begins his long journey back to the temple. He eats little bits of the disgusting bread along his way.

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?:

Kagbur sets up a tent with the guards. He offers to help them by crafting and repairing weapons and armour. The guard's initiate a fight with the bandits and more and more of them seem to come from nowhere. The guards would bring Kagbur their weapons when they were nearly broken. He would get to work on fixing them instantly. The guards eventually fight back the bandits and claim the road back. The guards thank Kagbur and offer him a reward, he declines the reward and returns a friendly smile. He packs up his tent and leaves.

**Also if I am not accepted am I allowed to try again?**

[Brokencrowe 111]

Denied.

You need to expand upon the definitions of roleplay, meta-gaming and power-gaming. You also need to demonstrate clear understanding of the terms and not give a basic description but an in depth and involved one.

You biography could do with some expansion, I have no feeling what so ever of who he is, and how he came to be. You need to give a lot more details for the background. Amnesia seems a tad unoriginal, but your call really, you just need to do a good job when roleplaying it. Your biography could also do with some more lore related material.

You ambition needs expansion.

Give reasons why his rusty pickaxe is his favorite tool.

Give reasons and details about why mining and smithing are what he is most skilled at.

Your open response questions albeit good could do with some expansion. You also need to take into account realism in many areas, and I do not get a very solid roleplay feel from some of them. The third one, though clever and original seems a bit unrealistic in some areas. A bit of expansion, despite its current length might help it out.

You will be allowed to reapply in twenty four hours, if you have any questions regarding your application feel free to drop a message in my inbox. Thank you for applying to Lord of the Craft!

Good luck!
