What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you:Roleplaying is when I’m able to put all my troubles and burdens on hold and relax online in a world without the real life bull that bogs us down. Taking a break from reality and diving into a world where you're free to make any person other than yourself in reality.

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?:Played on server kingdoms for a few months. It was later shut down due to ownership problems. Skyrim and the elder scrolls series. Kingdoms was my first server to join when I started playing minecraft. Role play was what drew me to play online in minecraft.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is:Meta gamming the act of taking information from out of game and using it while playing in game.(My character didn't know about the war that was incoming but my ooc did by reading the forums, thus I was able to prepare my town and friends to combat the incoming invasion.)(Sam is an admin on a server he sometimes goes into enemy towns and notes down their weaknesses and relays the information to me over skype so I can raid them.) The list goes on and the meaning can be defined by many things. Basically your created character wouldn't be able to acquire all these details unless he is a god on the server and that leads into power gaming as well.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is:Is forcing an action on other characters so that the end result always favors your character. (*I swing my sword at your neck with lightning speed) (*throwing dirt in your eyes you become blinded, I proceed to take my club and smash it into your skull killing you instantly)(I emote that I’m about to run.

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.):

Born and raised as a child and youth in the city of Normandor.Here I spent most my youth as a child and a teen learning the ways of my people and later serving within the guard as a skilled archer huntsman. Being born into a common elven family I was not allowed the freedom to choose my life dreams, that being able to build the ideas that filled my head. For my childhood was brought with trouble as I would continually look out windows and instead of writing down the elvish history and lore I’d scroll on my parchment the buildings I could see outside the window.

I spent more time running from the teacher and drawing of our cities grand buildings then I did how we as a people came to be or our history of Laurelin. In time I would be detained and learned more of our great founders and builders which only further filled my head with more ideas and concepts to build and make my name as known as our elders past. Sadly as a teen I was not allowed this path to go down, instead when I was a teen I was enrolled in basic training which would last till I was an adult. I would then go into service of the elven guard for the next decade.

For the next few years I grew very tired of my service duty and couldn’t wait any longer for the day I would be allowed a chance at my dream of being an architect, but even then I’d be denied the high position due to my linage of a commoner. I made a plan to leave my city for if I wasn’t going to be allowed my dreams then I wouldn’t allow them all to torture me in such a beautiful city of denial.The next morning on a patrol I slipped away from the group and made my way to the border limits. There I made my way to the Sanctuary of the Cloud Temple upon my arrival it dawned on me that I had left my book and my drawings behind in my city. There was no way I could go back as I was allready a traitor for leaving my patrol. So I made my way inside the temple and into the library and asked one of the monks for a book and pencil, I was given one without any question. Sadened of my loss I made my way to the local towns where I would draw of their grand structures and builds.Occasionally I stopped and helped with villages in their builds and did idle crafts work to gain minas to pay for my rations and water.

Everywhere I go though I cannot help but keep looking back to my home I left. But I'll continue to search out a place that will allow me to gain the knowledge and experience to build my dreams. I look over a map that was recently posted at the cloud temple, the frozen lands hold untold secrets and builds I've yet to see. For this journey I'll need alot of preperation and come morning I begin again.

What are your Character's ambitions?:Always as a child I wanted to draw and build grand structures that would test the trials of time and earth. Because owning land and riches are for the clouded of mind. In death you cannot take these with you however if you make grand structures people through the ages will remember you and thus your name lives forever.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):The pickaxe for which to carve and chisel raw ore into works of art. I’m no fool to the bow as my secondary favorite, I do not shy from combat and will defend my beliefs and friends.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?Taking earth and cobble and smelting it down into the clay of structure. Building it up and carving down and away the rough edges, smoothing out rough sides and making an otherwise simple build into a build that looks to be alive from the earth reaching to the heavens. ((Basically building))

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format, if you do not know how to acquire one, copy and paste this link into your browser: ( http://tinyurl.com/Lotcscreenshot ):

Other Information about your Character:I’ve always carried a parchment and pencil close to me. I use to have a book that I had over the century, but sadly I left it in normandor when I ran away. Now I journey the lands of Asulon with a new book and pencil, maybe someone may find my old drawings and if they do I hope they return it to me. I’m lost in this world and will continue to wander till I find my place again.

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?I’d walk up to the group and shout really loud while talking to the three.

“WHAT! you guys are still here standing around?!”

*pulls coin purse out and pulls out some coin and hands them to the halfling.

“GO now ! hurry and make sure the cots are comfy and warm! were going to need them when we go to the frostlands! And if merchant Moe isnt there go to Jim I’m sure he has everything we need for our expedition!”

I then push the halfling in the direction of escape and wink at him. Turning to the two thugs I’d ask.

“So you guys ever braved the frostlands?” As soon as one would try to respond I’d continue to talk and ask question as to further confuse and bewilder the two. Once the halfling is good and gone a distance I’d inform the two I’d go ahead of the group and to scout to make sure it is ok to start on the travel. I’d start back down the path and look in scrubs and behind trees and yell back at the two it looks pretty safe. And once I get a good distance from the two I’d continue on my journeys.

The best tool in combat is sometimes words.

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?I’d respond to the man telling him I wasnt sure and that I needed some time to look over his wares. Looking over what he has I’d him ask about local news if there is any and continue to browse over the merchandise. If the merchant continues to have an attitude with me I’d politely say goodbye and make my way out from the stall and look to another stall.

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?:I’d place a few more items in the chest use the furnace and work bench and possibly sleep in the house till morning. I’ve come across so many abandoned houses you never know which ones are still being lived in or not. It’s best to never take from anyone, this is the way I was raised.

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 would look for a market or shop of some sort and explain my plight. I’d exchange knowledge for some rations and place to sleep for the night. If there unable to assist me I’d go to the town mayor and ask for assistance and help if he could. I’m a master gamesman and can afford to hunt and collect my own food, and for the being lost part I wouldnt really be lost as a elf and all and tracker I rarely have the two happen to me. Only time I could see this being a reality is if im badly wounded from the wilds. In which case I’d do the following that I talked about.

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?:Being sworn to up hold the justice of the people I’m required to assist any plight of the people. May this be building, hunting, bandits or general knowledge of craft skills I’d be more then willing to help in their endeavour. I’d once again seek out the town leader or guard captain and tell them I am able to help in any means possible. Being a master with the bow I’d advise an archers position within the partys group.

Anything else you would like to say?:Well I hope this server will fill in the empty void I’ve had since kingdoms went offline. Everything looks well managed from reading on forums and all.The wandering souls thing was cool. Looking forward to building some nice additions to your world and getting back with my group of friends soon.
