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.):

Kaitlyn was born from a family of farmers, working on the farm for years until deciding to go on her own. She is a strong boned, strong hearted person, Her hair is a deep shade of brown, and her eyes are a light sky blue. She is the daughter of Cantus Lionhart, a farmer from the North, and Prokemia Nillery. She lived with her family in Salvus, and was oblivious to the outside world. But things were about to change in the Lionhart family, Many things indeed.

There was fire. That is all Katilyn could remember, while she was running from the fast advancing flames. The sound of the screaming townspeople filled her ears, along with the crackling of flames of the fire. She kept running until she was completley out of breath, stopping to pant and trying not to intake the smoke of the fire. After a few stops, she realized that she was alone in the fire. Her father was not with her, nor her mother. Being the brave girl she was, she ran back into the flames to try to save her family. The sound of the fire was getting louder and louder as she delved further and further into the flames to save her family. Buildings started to collapse around her, their supports breaking at the presence of her. She kept on running through the fire towards the farm where she grew up in, her face red hot as coals, and her feet burning with the pain of one thousand knives. Then she saw her father, his foot stuck in a vine and his face wearing the look of sorrow and despair. Kaitlyn took out her knife and sawed at the vine, trying to cut it to free her father. Cantus looked at her and said, his voice sounding like his throat was covered in soot, “Go on, I am a lost cause. Save yourself, I would rather sacrifice myself to you, than have us both die with you trying to save me. Go!” And with those words, the building started to collapse on top of Cantus, causing Kaitlyn to scurry away from the burning barn, and running ever so faster from the burning city, with tears filling her eyes.

After a months worth of mourning for her mother and father, something broke inside of Kaitlyn. That feeling of love and contempt, it just vanished, like a pebble in the water, and only the ripples of happiness remained in Kaitlyn. She vowed to try to bring back her father, and raise a family as great as the one she had lost.

What are your Character's ambitions?: To finally make a name for herself in the world and start a family as good as the one she was raised in.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):

Sword. Katilyn’s father used to make swords, knifes and war axes, therefore, Kaitlyn sneaked in the workshop, and borrowed them from Cantus . Secretly, she praticed on trees and bushes. She practised since she was 7.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? She is good with a sword and a bow, her family being blacksmiths. Though, by heritage, she would like to make weapons, she only liked to play with them, hunt with them.

Other Information about your Character:

Open-Response-Questions

Each and every question must be answered with a minimum of a single full paragraph and entirely in RP.

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?Kaitlyn runs up to the warriors and shoves them out the way. Katilyn holds the halfing up, helping him to stand up. “Are you okay?” Kaitlyn said. She looks at them with flames in her eyes, running up to them very fast. She punches them both in the stomach, cutting a finger off from the warrior with the money. She takes the money and gives it back to the 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? Kaitlyn looks over at the man and Katilyn says, “Here is the deal, I will make you a very sturdy knife if you supply me with the materials and pay me in bread. So the merchant hands her some materials, she makes a fine knife for the merchant, and walks out of Alras with a warm loaf of bread.

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?: She looks around a bit to see if anyone is there, seeing there is no one around she takes the items inside the chest, mainly because gold items have always fascinated her. Upon leaving the hut she sees a dark figure, the figure says “I would like my things back.” The white teeth of his smile causes Kaitlyn to drop the stolen goods walks away back into the wilderness.

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?

She talks to them in the common tongue in return, and asks to have a bed and some food in exchange for giving them some armour to help them travel safely along the road. That night, she sleeps with a full stomach in a warm bed.

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?:

Kaitlyn supplies the volunteers with swords and armour in hopes of speeding up the eradication of the bandits.

Reasons:

• You did not actually give a definition of role-playing.
  
• Your definition of powergaming is not completely correct, and needs to be expanded to explain more.
  
• You failed to mention your character's age in your biography. I would also like to see more specifics on how she actually learnt to use a sword and smith.
  
• Powergaming in your Open Response Questions.
  -First question: How exactly does this woman shove aside two armed warriors, then beat them both with her fists and cut off the finger of one? These would be two strong, armed men and would likely strike her down if she attempted that, especially alone. Remember to act realistically.
  -Second question: Smithing requires a forge... it is not something you can do on the street. Also, what is making this merchant trust you?
  -Last question: How does your character carry enough arms and armour to supply a small army?
  
• Did not use the correct formatting.
  

Please use the correct formatting in your next application as it makes the application significantly easier to read. You can do that by finding the application format here, and copying everything inside the white box. Then paste it somewhere, and begin filling in your answers outside the tags, like so:

[b][color="#add8e6"]Minecraft Account Name:[/color][/b] <Your answer here>

Do not change the application format in any way.

Aside from the things above, your application was fairly well above average, and avoided many of the common mistakes I often see. With a little work I think you'll have no trouble being accepted, so don't be discouraged and feel free to apply again (after 24 hours, of course)

If you have any queries relating to this application, please do not hesitate to PM me on the forums!

I'm not that scary and usually don't bite.

You may reapply in 24 hours from the time of this post.

Why not browse the forums or read up on some helpful guides while you wait?
