Time-Zone/Country of Residence: I live in the U.S. , more specifically, Texas. Central Standard time, 6

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.

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

pvp.hcserver.com

Character Name: Durain Steelwright

What Race are you?: Dwarf

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. Durain 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.

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?

Upon hearing the news, I walk to the guard barracks and learn more about the problem they have. I ask what crimes they have committed and about how many bandits there are in the camp. The guards respond, "About 10 or 15, all are as shy as sheep, and if they get the chance, the will run." Durain would ponder this for a moment, than tell the guards that he hopes not to impose, but he has a plan. To surround the camp at night while they were sleeping so escape was not possible, then Durain could come into the camp and challenge each of them to single combat. He is no murderer or thief, but easily kills them in a fair fight, taking only one cut on the forearm.

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?

Durain, being the adventurous adventurer, usually requires new wares to preform at his best. Durain would take a good look at all of the wares the many offers, but mostly the food, armor, and axes. Durain only carries the "essentials" so, with confidence that the man was a legitimate vendor, and not a wealthy thief trying to make a quick profit, buys a few necessities and trinkets for the road. However, the bartering ate through most of his coin and with a full belly and near empty pockets, he wanders the town to find a beggar or struggling businessman and gives him his last few alms as goodwill before resting at the inn, and then departing the town.

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?

Durain, with his goal of purging all evildoers from this world, but not a blind fool who hits then asks questions, inquires upon the situation. He finds that the two men are hired mercenaries to punish the halfling, who forgot to pay his "protection" fee. Durain tries to learn more to chose who is right or wrong, but the mercenaries say, "None of your business." and push him back.

Durain does not retaliate against the push, but asks again. This time, the mercenaries pull out swords and try to cut up Durain. Durain wields his axe and winks at the halfling, signalling him to run. The halfling receives the message and does not delay to flee. Durain easily parries their swords and, careful not to harm them, disarms them with fluid motion and forces them to the ground. The mercenaries are awestruck at the dwarf's finnese in battle. "Nobody needs to die today without reason. Go back to your employer and tell him that the halfling has left Cloud Temple and fled to Alras." If the mercs were surprised before, they were amazed by the dwarf's enigmatic character and skills. The mercs did not waste their energy thanking him for their lives, just ran straight back to where Durain assumed was the employer's meeting spot.
