Do you have a good grip on the English language/good grammar?: Yes I beleive I have a excellent grasp on the English language.

How much time could you be on the server weekly?: I would estimate maybe 2-3 hours on weekdays and maybe 5 hours on weekends.

What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying to me is when you take the role of a character that you have developed through writing and playing as. At first the character will not be the best yet as time goes on they will become more like an actual person minus the pixels.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I have not had any previous experience unless you count WoW.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: Meta-Gaming is a form of cheating that allows you to know things that you have acquired through ways that would not be possible IC such as seeing someone’s name through a wall or learning something that you have never been told of or seen.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: Power-Gaming is another form of cheating; this consists of making your character undefeatable or godlike. Example you wish to fight a orc yet you are only a small child yet somehow you manage to kill the orc, not only would a child not want to fight a orc yet the orc would most likely not even bother to fight the child let alone the child being able to kill the orc.

What do you expect this server will be like?: Well I am expecting the server to be enjoyable for myself and that I can make it enjoyable for others as well.

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.):

Skies blackened and trees’ burning a family of three flees for their lives. A small boy along with his mother and father run from the flames until finally they collapse coughing. As the flames get closer the family begins to melt as if they were made from wax until finally a face of shadow bursts from where they once were. Alanna wakes up screaming until finally she realises it was that nightmare again, she does not understand why it keeps repeating itself yet she is soon to find out. After the night passes and Alanna gets up from the wooden board and cloth that she calls a bed she stumbles into the small room that is the kitchen. Her mother sits there cooking a small pot of food, over the past few years Alanna`s mother had taught her what types of herbs are edible and how to cook yet Alanna was really interested in archery. Once the meal was ready her father came through the door carrying a few rabbits that had a small arrow hole through their stomachs. ¨Well looks like we have something to trade in town tomorrow after all.¨ He says as he places the rabbits down in a small chest. Alanna`s mother only nodded as she has not spoken in a long time, now that Alanna thought of this it occurred to her that her mother stopped speaking when her nightmares had started. As Alanna stands up she knows that she will not like the answer she receives yet she asks the question anyways. ¨Why do I have the nightmares... What do they mean. Please tell me if you know!¨ Her parents look at each other for a split second and her father sighs standing up and speaks. ¨Alanna... When you were young you and your family had fled from a fire that burned down the forest you lived within. Your brother being only 6 at the time had tripped and fallen to the ground. Your father went back to save him but a tree fell blocking you and your mother from them... After the fire stopped they were never seen again, your mother searched yet could not find a single trace of them. I am truthfully sorry and I suppose that means I am not your real father as well.¨ Alanna could not believe what she was hearing and ran outside and along the road leading into the small town that lay ahead.

A few years passed and Alanna had not returned to her parents, she had picked up training in archery with a hunter that lived in the town. Of course a small price had to be paid to be taught how to hunt so at the end of every week Alanna would need to give the hunter 5 rabbits to pay the fee. She is currently 14 and has become quite a good archer with her fathers and the hunter’s skills she had learnt. A few weeks ago she had decided to leave the hunter and start to live on her own, with the small amount of minas she owned she was able to purchase a bow along with a quiver of arrows. It was now time to hunt so she carefully headed into the woods looking for whatever came her way. An hour passed and nothing happened when suddenly a group of deer burst through the trees, deer where not uncommon yet their meat sold for quite a bit to the butcher. Alanna quickly notched an arrow and fired at one of the deer’s eyes, the arrow zoomed past were the deer had been sticking into a tree. Alanna frowned and notched another arrow but this time aiming ahead of the deer, she let it go and the arrow flew and hit the deer straight in the throat. After following the trail of blood for a few minutes she finally came across the deer’s body and began to cut the meat saving some for herself yet putting most into a sack for the butcher. As Alanna went to sell the butcher the meat she came across a small pouch on the ground, she looked around to see if anyone was there yet no one was around so she picked it up and sadly found it was empty. After selling the deer meat she counted out 112 minas and smiled knowing this could buy a new bow if she found the right merchant. As she decided to leave the village to try and expand the possibilities of business she left heading towards the center of Asulon towards the cloud temple.

What is your Character's ambitions?: Alanna wishes to one day become one of the best archers in the lands, the reasoning for this being that if a good enough archer she may one day be given the honor of killing one of the dragons that roam the skies of Asulon.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Alanna`s favorite tool would need to be the bow as not only can it kill animals for food yet it is also a good weapon against people if need be.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?: Alanna is a highly skilled archer, he learned how to shoot a bow from his father yet his mother taught him the basics of what plants to eat and how to cook.

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?

Alanna decides to stay away looking back at her quiver and bow knowing that it will not fare well against armoured men like that yet she decides to at least distract the men so she picks up a rock and tosses it hitting one of the men on the helmet. She then picks another rock up and throws it at the adjacent man hitting him on the helmet as well, they both turn and stare at her for a moment before throwing the halfling to the ground and chasing her. Alanna decides that if she were to flee she would be able to outrun the men as they are in armour. As she begins to flee the men quickly fall behind until eventually they have vanished from sight. ¨Hopefully the halfling was able to run well I distracted them...¨ Alanna mumbles to herself.

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?

Alanna is looking for a good place to trade some of her recently acquired meat when she sees a decently large group of people around a stall so she decides to head towards it yet on her way a man stops her and offers her some wares. Alanna trades some of her meats for half a quiver full of arrows and also purchases a small gemstone she may pay someone to make into an amulet someday. Walking away from the man she looks back and sees him happy that he received a customer and she giggles to smiles to herself happy to make someone’s day.

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?:

Alanna has been travelling for quite some time now and knows that she must be close to some sort of civilization by now. A few hours pass when finally she comes across a small hut adorned with vines and moss. Tilting her head she wonders if anyone lives here and knocks on the door, no answer. She pushes the door and it slowly creaks open, looking inside she sees that it is filled with cobwebs along with spider webs. A reek of some sort can be smelt yet its location cannot be told by scent alone. Alanna begins to look around and finds a chest, opening it she finds a pouch with some iron bars in it along with a golden sword covered in dust yet she was no use for these things so she leaves them alone. Alanna decides to head upstairs yet halfway up she sees what looks like a decaying hand and as she walks up more it reveals the rotting body of a young man. Alanna clenches her stomach and runs outside were she falls to her knees and vomits. After this she flees trying to get as far away from the house as possible.

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?:

As Alanna walks through the woods gripping her stomach her eyes start to blur from the fact she has not eaten in a few days when suddenly out of the brush she sees a small group of people selling wares to travelers. ¨What luck! ¨ She yells out loud as she stumbles into the camp. She stumbles over to a young child selling some bread and water and gives the child some minas in exchange for this food and water. Alanna slowly eats the bread and sips the water knowing that eating too quickly will make her feel worse. After a few moments f rest she stands and purchases some more water and places it in her flask along with some bread. During her time in the camp she also decides to sell some of the meat she gathered well hunting.

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?:

Alanna has recently been selling some meat to civilians when a guard walks up to her and asks if she would like to aid in a fight against some bandits occupying the road outside of town. She shakes her head not wanting to get caught up in this type of thing yet gives the guard some of her few arrows to aid them in battle. As the guard walks away Alanna watches as some of the villagers gather and are handed weapons and basic armour when the leader of the guards yells. ¨To victory! ¨ The rest of the men cheer and rush off to fight the bandits. ¨Why must they always try and kill... I do not see why death happens so much in these lands at the tip of a blade...¨
