Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself: I am in Eighth Grade, and going on to be a Freshman after Summer. I spend what free time I have usually playing videogames, and since I don't have a lot of money, I play Minecraft a lot.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: It varies, but possibly 7-15 hours.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying is a means of escaping the world we live in to go to a different world, where fantastic and wonderful things take place. In a way, we are the actors to the audience, who are also us. We live a different life, albeit short, a good one.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: Me and my sister RP'ed a little in WoW on before we cancelled the account to play TOR, but other than that, none.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-gaming is using normal Minecraft Mechanics to do something whilst in character that would be un-doable otherwise, such as reading someone's name above their head and greeting them by saying their IGN.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is:Power-Gaming is the overuse of game mechanics to get a small advantage over the other players who play the game somewhat more realistically.

What do you expect this server will be like?: I expect it will be like multiplayer Skyrim (to a fault) without the combat system and innumerable glitches, nice cities and players who share a common goal of roleplaying politely.

pvp.hcserver.com

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race):

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.):

Durain was born in a small unnamed camp. This was not a camp where all things were right and fine. It was a refugee camp for a local Noble's underlings to fester and rot after their home villages were destroyed by wildfires. Growing up in the slums would have twisted most other people because of the hatred and prejudice in the camp, but Durain always seemed to do the right thing. He was separated from his family during the burning of his village, and grew up an orphan on the streets, until he was enlisted for the Noble's private militia. The Noble came down to see the 15 year old dwarf practicing with his loaned sword, and laughed as he stumbled and dropped it. Angered, Durain picked up an axe off a weapon rack, and started lopping off dummy heads left and right. The Noble just watched, as did the other elves, humans and orcs being drafted. The whole camp, it seemed, was silent. The Noble stood and asked for Durain to approach. The Noble told him he had never seen an untrained child preform so well. He was enlisted three years later. He fought on many occasions for the Noble, doing more than he ever asked, they grew closer together, until they were almost father and son. On the Noble's Birthday, all the guard had gathered to celebrate, letting the local gangsters who settled in the forest beyond the camp, snuck in and killed the Noble in broad daylight, chanting about a cult of the dark gods, or like nonesense. Devastated by his loss, Durain set out to kill the assassins, and when he found them, they did not get but a word before they were headless. He returned with a bloody axe, bloodstained clothes and his light brown hair and squared face, held their banner high enough for the whole camp to see, and burned it. He is now 30 years old and travels the land, helping undo the seeds of evil wherever they are sowed.

What is your Character's ambitions?: Durain hopes to rid the world of evil doers, or at least as many as possible.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Durian's tool of choice is an axe.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? One of Durain's best talents is fighting, and is unusually adept at potion brewing.

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format):

Other Information about your Character: Durain is not particularly quick or smart in conversations, but prefers to act than speak about acting.

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 walk into the camp and ask for any supplies if they can spare them, and in return I can help them with any problems they may have, and solve it to thank their hospitality.

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?: I accept as quickly as possible, and offer to do it for free.

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 ask first what is happening. If it is what it appears to be, I avoid unnecessary bloodshed, and tell them to back off, but if they are foolish enough to decline, they will die.
