What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: Roleplaying involves a player immersing him or herself into their character. It is a way to express yourself in ways that you cannot normally. I have quite a bit of experience roleplaying, see below:

What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: When I was a bit younger, I always loved to invent new stories and let my imagination soar. When I was 14 a friend of mine asked me if I wanted to join his Dungeons & Dragons group, after which I was completely hooked on all sorts of RP games, from Skyrim to the aforementioned D n'D.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: A related term in DnD speak is, "player knowledge" which is basically cheating by using your own knowledge rather that your character's.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is:Power Emoting is getting so emotionally attached to your character that you forget to be realistic in your game (Overpowering him/her, getting overly upset when your character dies, etc.)

What do you expect this server will be like?: Honestly, I have been looking for a good RP server for a long time. I hope to see some real RP, to get really into the story and the feel of the world. (I'm especially interested in the Halflings!)

What other server(s) Mine-RP net (Left because RP was terrible, too much OOC)

Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?:Yes

Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws? This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules:Yes

How did you hear about us?: I was looking for a good RP server, and upon joining, was helped by an astonishingly nice VIP (Kernith)to this site. This very cool occurrence made me sure I wanted to be part of the world.

In-Character:

Character Name: Ranley Brewbottle

What Race are you? (You may only be Human, Orc, Elf or Dwarf!) :Human

Appearance: A sturdy halfling with bright eyes and an ever present smile. He has brownish hair and eyebrows, as well as characteristically (for his family) slightly pointed ears.

Age: 30

The child of a seamstress and a barkeep, Ranley's childhood was spent hunting around the Vale with friends, playing practical jokes, and singing songs for travelers at the Drunken Sheep Inn. Clever to an extreme, he enjoys making people laugh and bringing joy to anyone and everyone. The story of his humorous encounter with an enraged orc is still told across the Vale (Surprisingly, the orc left laughing, too)

Carefree and jolly, Ranley never takes anything seriously and can always be expected to make a joke out of almost any situation. Recently he has decided to see the world in all of its wonder before finally settling down in the "good ol' Vale"

What are your Character's ambitions?: Ranley wants to see the world, to travel to all of the corners of the globe, and then to settle down and live in peace in the Vale.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Singing, Farming (a little bit), Archery (hunting), Boating.
