In your own words, define what the act of Roleplaying is: To me, role playing is the act of putting yourself into your characters shoes and adopting their mindset and beliefs, often while interacting with other people who are also doing the same thing.

In your own Words, define what the act of Metagaming is: To me, Metagaming is using OOC knowledge, which your character has no knowledge of IC. This can be anything from using a player’s Nametag to identifying, to spreading word OOCly of a bandit raid or such, and often breaks the immersion of the RP.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power gaming is: Power gaming is when you do something against another character without giving the other character the freedom to act on their own choice, such as combat moves that give the other player no chance to respond. There is not much that frustrates proper RPers more than being power gamed, so it is quite understandable why this should be avoided.

In-Character:

Character Name: Layla Taloha

What Race are you?: The character will be an elf.

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): Half dark elf, half high elf (*gasps* an abomination!)

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.): I’m afraid I can’t do this biography In Character, as my character was only just born, and will still be too young to play immediately after this app is accepted (assuming it is accepted). For the same reason, I can’t write a life story yet, since she hasn’t yet lived enough worth writing, but I can write about her personality, background and all that stuff.

The character’s name is Layla Taloha, daughter and first child of Ereinion, Chieftain of the Warhawkes, and Arya, ex-citizen and wanted impure of Haelun’or. She will, therefore grow up inheriting the racial traits of both Dark elf, and high elf. I will likely not start playing until she is at least age 6, and at that stage of her life, her personality will be mostly comprised of traits inherited from her parents. Some of these traits she will outgrow in time, and new traits will develop based on events and encounters. Physically, she will have a resemble her father more than her mother. Her hair will be long, black and shiny like her father’s, and her skin tone will be mostly that of a dark elf, though a shade or two lighter, due to her mother’s fair skin. She will have her mother’s blue eyes, with the same shine to them that Arya has.

As a child she will be generally finding herself joyful around people she considers friends and family, although the pride of her Dark Elf father will manifest in having high expectations of others. Being the daughter of the Warhawke tribe’s chief, a sense of entitlement may likely manifest, which to some will be expressed as intolerance, and impatience. Her mother’s fear of thunderstorms, and caution towards strangers will rub off on her as a child, though both of these traits will likely be outgrown. As she grows and learns, her father’s pride and arrogance, and her mother’s care for living creatures will rub off on her too, along with the ideal of loyalty to family, which will be a big part of her upbringing.

What are your Character's ambitions?: Layla Taloha was born into the Warhawkes, a tribal society where men are dominant. Her father was hoping for a son instead, as a women cannot become the chief’s heir, so was somewhat disappointed that Layla Taloha was born a girl. Even though she isn’t the son he was hoping for, Rei does still love her, but doesn’t pay her as much attention as he would a son. Due to this, her main ambitions revolve around trying to impress her tribe, and prove to her father that she is as capable as any boy, and worthy of becoming her father’s heir.

Other Information about your Character: Layla Taloha’s time in Asulon starts with her birth, and I will start Rping her once I think she is old enough to do so. For the sake of good RP while answering the Open response questions, let us pretend the situations are occurring a bit later, once she is more matured, at about the age of 20.

Open-Response-Questions

Answer at least three out of five listed!

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?: Whilst sticking to the shadows, Layla Taloha observes the interaction for a short time, studying both the armed warriors and the halfling. The halfling’s fate is of little concern to her, though single-handedly killing two armed men would make a nice story to tell the tribe. Lacking the patience to study them for weaknesses, she draws her sword and charges, taking them completely by surprise. After killing the Armed men, she proceeds to search them for anything of value before running off, leaving behind a very surprised halfling.

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?:

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?: If someone is foolish enough to leave valuables in an unlocked chest in an abandoned looking house, they do not deserve to own them. While her father, being more experienced might look for signs of a trap, Layla Taloha simply grabs the items she desires, and runs.

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?:

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?: Knowing that the bandits the guards are referring to are actually the members of her tribe, seeing an opportunity to impress her father she agrees to help, pocketing the reward before offering to scout out the area, and heading straight to meet up with her father to formulate an ambush plan. Upon returning to the guards, she directs them down a side path, saying it will allow them to ambush the bandits. She leads the guards straight into the ambush her father prepared, where the guards are taken by surprise, without a moments warning.
