I played a little DnD and DDO.

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.):

Shruber was born on the night of the fifth sighting of the legendary "Moon Goul". It was a sad night as a part of the town was so shaken up from the "Moon Goul's Fury" that they started rioting. Pickaxes and ore from smelted to fresh out of the ground went plunging though the shop windows, as humans and dwarfs who were living together in the town of Bel'Thoeis scattered about. The hospital was left un-touched. As the easy and perfect birth of Shruber went on that night, someone had spotted a strange man running though the hospital, but that was all. Shruber lay in his little bed looking up smiling at his parents, he thought someone or something was staring at him from the window in the ceiling. He could never forget those huge cyan glowing eyes staring down at him. When his father turned around from the door creaking open a strange gas emitted from the doorway. They didn’t think anything of it, until Shruber was ten years old. He started having odd colored spots show up, with changes of personality at the oddest times. They were convinced by the local doctor that it as just a phase in his life. The doctor visited Shruber often when he was growing up. Shruber would always remember the doctor's nice cool dull cyan colored glazy eyes, the only thing that he found to be comforting. When in outbursts of rage or crying they would rush the doctor to him, and stare him down. After years of this they had decided to have the doctor move in with them, they were a wealthy family willing to take in the middle classed friend. As Shruber got older the out breaks were only becoming worse and more often. On Shrubers Twentieth birthday he just seemed to stop all out beaks and become normal. For this his family rejoiced, thanking the doctor who had to put up with him for years. Days later the doctor had a sit down with Shruber to discuss how he was feeling, from ten minutes to a few hours, they were still in the room talking. They were talking calmly when the doctor insisted on giving him some shots. Shruber thinking nothing of this from his longtime friend, let him go to work with needles and weird containers that he had never seen before. After he was done the doctor stood up, leaned over to Shruber whispered something in his ear, when the house seemed to spontaneously combust then explode. After days of searching the rubble from the massive house exploding, Shruber was found and put in the hospital, but the doctor was never found. Shruber was in the hospital for years receiving visits from all the best doctors and monks around, they couldn’t seem to wake him up. One day the parents hired a man claiming to be able to cure him, but his price was high. The parents paid it seeing how he was an only son. A strange gas filled the room that day and Shruber awoke, with parents on both sides he felt that something or someone was watching him. Looking up all he could see from the window and the reflections from the torches in the room were two giant cyan glowing eyes. The next few moments were a blur to everyone, out of the room Shruber stood in the door way throwing up, covered in his mother’s blood. Inside the room the mother was missing her left arm and leg, as well as a bite taken out of her right hip. She was leaned up against the wall in one corner of the room while the "Moon Goul" was in the other corner already done digesting half of Shruber's dad’s chest and head. The next day the hospital was closed and Shruber was moved to a doctor’s home. When Shruber came to his senses there was a boy next to him, roughly ten years younger, lying in a bed. Shruber looked at him and was filled with sorrow, then rage, then happiness. Shruber was kicked out of the major regions of town because he had no money to pay for anything. As an outcast he experienced many different jobs but his main one was as a temp lumberjack. He would Channel his emotions into his work, first crying for the tree he cut down, then was angry that it fell to the ground so fast, then happiness that it was dead. After years of cutting down trees, war appeared in his area of town. He went to the battle fields with his trusty axe ready for war. The war was brutal and the enemy was relentless, from fighting the human-orc half breeds, the axe was proven the best weapon. From the start of battle to the end Shruber was experiencing a range of different emotions as usual. When he saw an enemy he felt rage, then sadness when they tried to kill him, then an empowering aura of happiness when he had hacked off the enemies’ limbs. From battles to battles he went as a one man army, people feared to go with him fearing he might turn on them as well. After the war was over he went back to his job, trusty axe in hand, and cut down more trees. Years past and no one mentioned a single thing of war to him, in fact, hardly anyone talked to him, except a dwarf who was dirt poor named Thar'Gillan. Together they made money, and split it so they would both live a good, but poor life. A year past when explosions in the town became more often, as if something or someone was looking for a specific person. From that Thar'Gillan had an encounter with the "Moon "Goul", as the battle took place, the "Moon Goul" wiped Thar'Gillan's house out of existence, his house, and all of his money. Luckily Thar'Gillan made it back to Shruber's house and they decided to set off to a new land, seeking a better life. A life filled with riches and money, and a possible cure for his best friend, Shruber. They made their journey all the way until they arrived across the sea to a new land, Asulon.

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?:

First thing is Shruber would run toward the halfling and look into his eyes. When he sees they are not the same he feels sad, but still angry at the thieves. Shruber would say, "Well, found you finally." Shruber pauses to take a breath and he starts to feel nervous because of "The guards that were looking for you were only over that hill and will probably be here soon." As the thieves start to shake. "Yes I know I may not be able to take you both, but I know as a fact I can stall." If the thieves start to attack Shruber would motion the halfling to run.

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?:

Shurber would ask, "Do you have anything that might help out in a forest?" As he says that he would show worn out leather armor. If the man responded "Yes" Shruber would then ask, "Can I see some of the gear?" The man would then show it and ask for the money. When Shruber hand him the money he would take a look at the person's eyes.

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?:

He would look around and make sure it’s not a trap. When he realizes it is not he would take the golden sword and look for any other items that may have value. He would go outside and look at the trees to see what kind and if there was a new tree to him he would chop it down, and replant it.

Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you in the common tongue, how do you respond?:

He would talk with them and say, "Can you spare some food?" As he looks at all of their eyes. If the people say no Shruber would try to baron with wood or any other item worth food. Now if the people still say no he would just go back to the forest to find some food. He would us some of the wood to make a camp fire in the forest and set up for the night.

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?:

"Well, you can count me in if you can show me the reward." Shruber would say as he glares into the guard's eyes. As they are going to stop the bandits Shruber emotions are conflicted. He feels sad for all the people attacked by the bandits and he feels angry about the bandits doing this to people. On arrival Shruber feels nervous and regrets that he went because he saw that the bandits out number him and the guards and assistance.

Denied.

Powergaming definition has more to it. Look at some implemented apps. (Hint: It has to do with the other player's reaction.)

I think you could have slightly larger ORQs.
