In your own words, define what the act of Roleplaying is: RPing is basically putting yourself in the shoes of somebody else. You do things you would face on a regular basis... You have emotions, feelings, you make decisions, etc. To sum it up, you are pretending you are somebody else.

In your own Words, define what the act of Metagaming is: Meta-Gaming is using OOC information to your advantage IC. Say that your character drowned in the oceans of Asulon. Technically, your friends back home in your village do not know that you drowned IC, even if they know it through other means of communication. (( OOC Communication ))

In your own Words, define what the act of Powergaming is: Power-Gaming is not allowing the other player to respond to an action IC. For example, pulling out your sword and hitting the player while he is typing is Power Gaming.

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.):

Name: Richard Hammond

Appearance: Richard is a very handsome, good looking man. He wears goggles and has short hair and a small beard. He is around 5’10” and around 160 pounds.

Personality: Richard is a very social man. He enjoys making friends and talking to people. At times, Richard’s mood can go from good to bad in a matter of seconds. When something bad happens to him, he becomes extremely unhappy. He goes from a social animal, to a hibernating bear.

Flaws/Weaknesses: Richard can sometimes come off as too much of a social animal. He can overwhelm people who do not necessarily want his company.

Backstory: Richard was born in the merchant nation of Alras. As a child, he was very interested in all the strange mechanisms built by the engineers of Alras. He would observe carefully, and watch people work. Where his friends might play around, ignoring what would go on inside the town. Hammond was not the typical child, he enjoyed watching the wheels on a cart go round rather than playing hide and seek with his buddies. That is where he developed his strong interest in mechanisms and contraptions. As Richard grew up, he continued to work with things alongside his father. His father, James May, was also an extremely skilled engineer. He sat and watched, as his father built trebuchets, and other contraptions. Richard lived a fairly happy childhood, as his mother and father were wealthy enough to sustain a family of four. Richard also had a brother, Jeremy Clarkson. Clarkson was alike to his father and Richard.

Richard was a social animal when he wanted to be. (Which was often.) Unlike his brother, Jeremy, who generally kept his feelings and thoughts to himself. The family of four spent a very good portion of their lives together in Alras. When Jeremy and Richard grew up, they continued to work with the engineers of Alras to contribute to cannons, siege weapons, wagons, etc. But eventually, Richard grew tired of the same old lifestyle in Alras. He had decided to make the decision to move out, and take his talents to another land. He considered many towns...The Oren Capital of Arethor, The Island Nation of Holm, The Town of Ursakar in Oren, and he even considered the well-built town of Ceru. Eventually, he decided to take his talents to Ceru. He felt he would fit in with Distuth, Bofric, and Halvard. He particularly grew to be great friends with Halvard. They were both very alike, considering they were both dedicated engineers. They worked on many things together, in order to expand the town even more. He enjoyed the industrial lifestyle in Ceru.

Richard continues to enjoy building different things with his friends in Ceru. He enjoys their company, but still wishes he could sometimes go back to visit his family in Alras. He wishes to see his mother, father, and brother one day in the future. Hammond is extremely content with the way he is living right now, and he hopes to keep it that way.

What is your Character's ambitions?: Hammond is an engineer that wishes to build contraptions in order to benefit himself and his friends. He also is not a bad architect, and enjoys building structures. He wishes to be hired as an engineer so that he can become wealthy in the lands of Asulon.

Open-Response-Questions

Answer at least three out of five listed

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? Richard would be interested in some redstone and iron so that he would be able to build his contraptions.

Richard: “Good day to you sir! I am interested in something I can build some machinery with...”

Merchant: “Ahh! I have the perfect solution. I have assorted resources that may assist you with your machinery!”

Richard: *smiles, “Ahh, good. There are not too many engineers out there like me! Glad to see somebody who has materials I can use!”

Merchant: *reaches into his chest and pulls out some ingots and redstone dust.

Richard: *perks up at the sight of the resources, “Yes! I would love to buy those. How much for a crate of iron and a crate of redstone?”

Merchant: “I’ll give ya’ a crate o’ iron and a crate o’ redstone for 3000 minas!”

Richard: *reaches in to his pocket and throws a bag of minas onto the desk.

Richard: *grabs the crate and walks off, “Farewell friend!”

Merchant: “Thank ye! Good day to you!”

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?: Richard would take a peek in the chest, and check if anybody was around him.

Richard: *raises himself by stepping on top of a stone.

Richard: *yells, “Anybody around?!”

Richard: *scratches his head and peers into the chest, “Hmmm, iron. I could use this!”

Richard: *picks up the ingots and puts it into his bag and walks away smiling.

Richard: “I’ll be able to use this to make those contraptions now!”

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?

Richard: *crawls onto the floor, coughing, “I-I...Need...Food!”

Man: *gasps, “Oh my! You look extremely...dehydrated. I will go and grab some food for you!”

Richard: *closes his eyes and breathes in and out as his stomach growls loudly.

Man: *comes running out of a tent with a bundle of bread in his hand, “Here you go!”

Richard: *gobbles down the bread in an impolite manner.

Richard: *talks with his mouthful, “Thank you kind sir!”

Man: *nods and smiles, “You still do not look so good, keep on eating and drinking.”

Richard: *nods as he hands over a small coin purse, “For your good doings. Thank you.”

Man: “Not a problem! I am always willing to help a fellow friend.”

Richard: *nods as he gets up, “I must be off. I need to get home before dark.”

Man: “Farewell, visit soon!”

Richard: * smiles, “Good day!”
