[dandan1350 479]

Improved the one response questions alot! as they seemed to be my biggest downfall so far quite proud of them if I do say so myself. Also added some examples, and changed a few general things including doing the ambitions question as I seem to have left it blank last time. Hope I didnt power game at all in my ORQ.

Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?:

Although I have a minor mental issue, I like to think I have a bit more than a basic grip on grammar and the English language.

Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:

My names Daniel I'm a boy and I am small for my age, and have a passion for roleplaying, I really do like warhammer all three systems and i'm constantly determined to improve my english skill.

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

My timetable is rather empty but I do have the odd occasion of where I am busy all week or just a day. I aim to be on for 10 – 15 hours a week even more if possible.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying to me is when you can release your imagination and play a different character with many people, giving you a sense of freedom.

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

I am regularly on with my friends in minecraft role-playing, I have won a few drama awards within my school I take; performing arts, I used to take drama, I also do expressive arts and have decent grades in those few subjects

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

When a character, leaves his or her role while in the middle of roleplaying or uses outside knowledge to influence there power over the situation at hand.

For example if someone was to speak about how he just lost a load of stuff at ....... in OOC chat. And a person went to the exact place just to grab the items, he would of obtained those items from OOC information.

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

Power gaming is a term that refers to the use of unrealistic actions, or creating your character all powerful ruining the experience for other players. Some unrealistic actions would be to jump into water without the removal of any precious items, or if a character was to travel a large distance without rest very quickly. Or if a person was to train to become a very powerful character and become nearly unstoppable.

For example, say a person was fighting and says *character A jumps out the way of character b's arrow and stabs him* *Character B dies* character A has just completely taken over control of the sitaution, leaving no chance for character B. Completely turning the tables making the game less fun.

What do you expect this server will be like?:

I expect the server to be filled with friendly people who abide with the rules, and also take there roles seriously. From what I can see on this forum, It seems to be a very dedicated RP server.

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

I’ve only played on a few private roleplay servers with my friends, but I don’t find them to be any good as there is a frequent meta-gaming

Yes, I have read through and agree to these rules

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.):

I never lived a hard life, my parents kept me well fed and clothed, there was no violence, atleast that I saw. I have my 8 year old brother, who I find is just a bundle of happiness. Nothing gets him down no matter what, unlike me I have always been very bad at taking critiscm. I have never had any death in my family so far and thus my life has been a good one. My father would regularly teach me the art of archery, although my mind would drift to other things as I muched prefered an acrobatics of sorts. I would climb and jump all around in my mind until one day I decided to go out and try it for the first time. The first tries were enviatably failures but eventually, I became better and better until I had nearly mastered it. I had promised one day to teach my younger sibling. Until one day my life changed completely.

I was 15 when I left my homeland. I was only young but had nearly passed out of childhood. I had been described as having my fathers long black hair, and my mothers strange purple eyes, although my personality takes after neither my father or my mother. I loved nature like any wood elf, I'm known to my friends as a shy and polite elf who never looks for a fight but if one would turn on me my enemy would be surprised. Even though I despised violence my father was determined to teach me some of his techniques as a guard.

I had heard the storys my father had told me as he put me to sleep. He told me of the brave champions who march into the Nether to halt the undead march, although I was not for violence these storys kept me awake with awe as I heard the epic tales.

The next day I woke to glorious news as I was shaken awake by a friendly voice "what is it brother?" I mumbled tiredly as I rubbed my eyes, and streched. "Guess what! guess what! guess what!" my brother yelled at me again, I couldnt take this anymore so asked the question "WHAT?" I spoke with a fake sense of enthusiasm, "THEIR READY!" Yelled my brother yet again, I rubbed my eyes and suddenly absorded his words "THE BOATS? their ready?" I spoke with a true sense of enthusiasm this time and was sat straight up. I saw my parents talking to each other as they gathered as many belongings as they were allowed.

"Have you got the?.." spoke my mum only to be cut off by my father "Yes" he said in a tired voice "and the..." my mother questioned again, only to be cut off a second time by my father "yes!" he said with a bit more spring in his voice. My mother and father popped their heads into my room as they suddenly realised that I was awake "Morning!" my mum said with a happy tone, almost sung as in a tune. "Morning mum, morning dad." I said with a also happy tone, "So have you heard about the boats then?" my father said with a growing smile as he grabbed the final bag and slung it onto his back. I stood up and ran over to my folded clothes quickly slippin them on, as i got dressed I asked "So when do we leave?" with a questioning look on my face, my father kept his smile as he said "Now." I stopped "now?" i questioned, a little fear push away the happiness as I realised I'm leaving my town, my home, my life. All left behind here over their it was a place for new adventures a new me. But I didnt want a new me.

After a small journey we arrived at the port containing the newly built ships. I could barely believe my eyes as i stared at the ships that would take me onto my new life. To Asulon.

On the journey to the new world I was awoke to hear my parents having a quite arguement a few steps away, backs turned away from me my curious side kicked in as I listened to their arguement. They were talking about our future mine and my brothers, I was curious as to why my parents had the sudden arguement about our future. I didnt understand as they talked about it my father wanted me to join up for the guard, if there was a guard and my mother wanted me to follower her footsteps into poetry. I couldnt bare the arguement anymore so I stood up in frustration and blerted out "It's my decision!" that was my first ever outburst towards anyone, the few elves nearby turned to look at me in shock aswell as my parents. Even my brother was sat up staring at me. Their was no sound for what seemed like minutes, I turned and walked away from my parents looking over the side of the boat only to see a smalll bit of land appear in the distance.

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 walk nearer to the two men, sizing them up one looks at me and asks "What you lookin at?" I reply "Nothing, just wondering I look at their weapons, but see no need to fight, I walk off.

I begin searching for a nearby by guard. I luckily find two and give a quick jog to them they greet me "Hail, is their something you need?" "Yes" I quickly reply "Two men over there are harrasing a small halfing!" I say. "Which way?" they ask, I point over to the men and beckon them to follow. They follow me all the way to the spot of the men, they are still there asking for the money. The stubborn halfling refuses as he see's the guards behind the men, one of them men raises his fist but is quickly cut off "I wouldnt do that if I was you" says one of the guards in a sturn tone. The men turn around and drop the halfling. "Really and you two guards are gonna stop us?" The warrior replies, as he walks up to the two guards dwarfing them quite considerably. The guards unsheath their weapons as they see the warriors move towards theirs. I still standing watching the incident move my hand to my bow, making no further movements. Until suddenly one of the warriors strikes out and hits the guard square in the face knocking him to the ground. I let out a load moan and begin to unsling my bow, the second guard became more prepeared and dodges, realising he is alone he raises his sword to a defensive stance. As I knock an arrow onto the string I quickly realise, only cutting one the warriors hand. But it was enough as he dropped his weapon and cluched to his hand. The halfling took advantage and quickly kicked him in the shin, and began running away. "I wont miss a second time" I yelled to the other warrior, he stops and steps back picking his friend back up they run off.

The guard left unhit turns and thanks me, "That was lucky to be honest I'm not a very good aim." The guard picked up his friend, as two more guards arrived. The original unhit guard spoke "Thanks you saved our skins, anyway normally you would be in big trouble. But for saving me and my friend I'll let it slide." I stood there dumbstruck realising that helping could of got me into trouble, I shoke my head and walked on away from the temple and the guards.

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 turn to face the man, I eye up the person and give a nod. "Hail, I'm looking for some books." I said to the man, he moved his hand to his face and started to rub his chin. "Hmmmm books, books, books. I think I might ave some!" He said as he turned away and crouched, looking around "Ah, ere we are." He said, he turned round and placed a small box of rather dusty books onto the table. As they impacted with the stall a small cloud of dust rose, the merchant and I both coughed. "Dont get many by here lookin for books. What ya after?" The merchant said to me with a curious tone, I looked through the books and with my head still down and replied "My father would fascianate me with the story of the undead in Aegis. I wish to know more." A short but truthful abrupt answer, "Ah." The merchant said, "you wont find it in there then. You'll want this." He said with a growing smile, he slipped back down and shuffled a few things, as he murmured about the items last position. Then a sudden shout occured "Found it!" He said as he brought himself back up. My face was lit with glee as I realised that I had finally found a book linked to Aegis, here in all places! I tried to keep my happiness within, knowing that if I showed a single bit of desperation the merchant would have me. He held the book with a delicate touch and said "One of a kind, full biography of a victim of the Aegios destruction." I stepped back in shock realising that I had hit a gold mine and that the merchant had so much knowledge of this. I couldnt contain my glee and a small smile appeared across my face, aswell as the merchants face. I lost my smile as I realised my mistake, I looked down and prepeared for the price at hand. He gave me the price and was determined to no matter what go no lower, I pulled out my coin purse and dumped all of my remaining coins onto the stall, leaving with the book In hand another smile ran across my face. As I walked off with my head already stuck in the book.

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?:

As I stroll through the woods I notice a seemingly abandoned cabin a small way away. I walk upto the cabin catiously looking for any signs of life, I give a knock and hear no reply. I step in and look around for anyone inside "Hello?" I ask, again no answer I step further in and spot a small chest not very well hidden. My curiosity kicks in and I begin to walk over to the chest. As I slowly opened the creaking chests lid, I turn to look behind me. I see no one, I take a peak inside the chest. Only to find a few iron bars, and a golden sword. My hand begins to reach into the chest, but I quickly bring it out again, I eye the few bars and sword in there. Deciding wether to take the few items or not, but my guilty side kicks in and I shake my head realising even though the place is empty these could be someones precious items. I close the lid and look around again for anyone, knowing no ones there I still say sorry and walk away from the small cabin, looking behind me to again check that, I was seen by no one

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?

I see the camp in the distance and my face lights up with happiness, I begin to walk faster and faster to the camp seeing the welcoming fire. I hear voices, cheerful voices they appear to be singing a song, of what about I do not know. I arrive at the camp out of breath and slowly walk in the small trading camp, I see a few merchants as I give a sigh of relief I step on a nearby twig it snaps alerting my presence. I stop not daring to take another step as I hear a small sword being unsheathed, a voice speaks out "Whos there?" I sense a small bit of terror in the mans voice as I reply "I be only a lost elf, looking for food and a way out of this dastardly place." I see the man lower his sword, as he replies "Show yourself." I step out into the campfire light and look at the 5 men all stood behind one bigger man with the sword. The bigger man lowers his sword and sizes me up looking for any danger, he obviously see's none as he says to me "I'm sure that can sorted out." I give another sigh of relief realising I'm safe. "The price?" I ask, raising my eyebrow. "You any good with that bow?" He asks me in return, I answer question "I'm okay with it." He walks away for a minute disappearing out of sight, and returns with a sack of food. "Here, this is yours" he says as he chucks the bag to me I quickly grab it and search through to find some food. I pull out an apple and being eating it, the merchant then says to me "As for your way out we need some protection, there are suppose to be bandits along this road, takes you right up to the town. So we need some help, are you in?" I lose my smile, and stop mid-bite of the apple. "Fine, if it means I get out of here."

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?:

As I walk around the town square I hear a few voices yelling about, bandits of some kind. I walk over to the area. Looking to learn more of these bandits, I begin looking for any of my close friends to see if they're going out with the guard. I see none and begin to walk away until I hear a voice "You there, how you would you like to earn a reward for getting some extra target practice." He says to me as he looks at the bow, I begin to talk but am abrubtly cut off by the guard "All you have to do is help us take care of some bandits along the road." He says, I quickly dart in "No, no, no. I couldnt, I'm not one for violence and my bow is only for protection." I say as I shake my head. "Nonsense, this is for your protection. These bandits have even cut down woman and children they're heartless people. Could you take that on your conscience, innocent children and woman, attacked, stolen from, killed?" The guard says. I begin to become convinced. "Fine I'll help... But no reward, I dont want it." I remove my bow from my shoulder and ask where, and when. The guard smiles and ask for my name, I reply "Dralex." He writes it down and moves on looking for the next volunteer after he gives me the information. I look at my bow and think to my self "Your more trouble then your worth." and move on with the rest of my day.

Then next day dawns, as the volunteers and a small group of the town guard ready positions. I take a high overlook of the area and remove my bow from my back, spotting out the few clear targets I take a arrow from my quiver and knock it onto my string. I hear the signal and release the first arrow into the back of one the bandits, shock kicks in as the bandits release that they're under attack. They gather their weapons but have no chance as I bring another down and the guard move in. I stand up and sling my bow onto my arm, not wanting to witness the coming bloodshed. With the battle over the guard thanks the few who returned, and give them the reward.

Thats it, thanks for taking your time to read this application.
