Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: Average 15 year-old gamer, I play RTS, RPG, and MMO's

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: 3+ hours a day.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Role-playing is when you can get away from the stress in your life, and become anyone or anything you want to. I enjoy it, because while I might be having several problems in my life, I can escape them through role-playing. The idea of having no electronics, and relying on physical shape, in a beautiful, lush environment, free of industrial buildings and technology was always appealing to me.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: In MMO's I have played on RP servers, but hardly anyone even actually did it, it ruined the experience for me :S. Seeing as this server is white-listed for only the best RP'ers, this server looks really fun.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: When you use outside information that your character would not know normally. For example, you read on the forums that a certain sword is hidden somewhere. You cannot use that information, it must be obtained in a manner that could actually occur if the world existed.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power-Gaming is when someone allows others no chance to even try to kill them such as *draws arrow from quiver, pulls string to ear, releases bow string, arrow goes flying, pierces armor, pierces skin, pierces hear, dead*. This is a banable offense.

What do you expect this server will be like?: Beautiful scenery, live story/politics, changing environment, realistic tribes and communities, live economy, towns.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: Some random RP servers, a lot of them limited the use of buckets and pistons, and required money for OP acess to flying and spawning. Also because only 1/10 people actually RP'ed on them.

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes

Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules: Yep.

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?

Dothgar clenches his fist as he walks slowly towards the warriors. "Wud be goin on here?", "Pay us 50 gold coin now or this halfing gets it!", the warriors reply. "Let da snaak go!", "Never!". Dothgar unsheaths his sword, and sinks it into one of the warrior's flesh. He then rips the sword out of the mans body, and slashes the neck of the other warrior, "Now go alung, liddle snaak, agh sday oudda da trublez."

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?

Dothgar pats his pockets, checking for any loose coins. Remembering that he left his coins at his hut in the woods, he replies, "Sorry mi forgetz da munniez."

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?:

Dothgar scratches his head, determining whether to take it or not. Once he establishes that it is probably a fellow orc's stuff, he leaves it.

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?

His stomach rumbles as he approaches the nearest merchant. "Can mi pleaze have some meatz? Mi starved for days. Mi can do sum workz you needed done." The merchant finishes wiping off his counter with a white glob of cotton and replies "Sure thing! I also got a place for you to stay if you can work extra hard, but you look plenty capable."

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?: Dothgar gladly accepts the invintation, and helps clear out the bandit-infested village.

OOC: Please excuse the poorly constructed ORQ's, got tired after spending 2 hours on bio.

So close did you treat to the path of acceptance,

-

Next time, improve on the following for a high chance of acceptance, I see promise in you:

-Make formatting clear, and separate questions from answer more distinctively.

-Make your biography have some kind of translation or make your (somewhat good) Orcish easier to read for those whom don't understand it.

-

I highly suggest you attempt this application again after 24 hours, as you have a lot in you, and I can see that. I just want to be certain.
