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? I tell them to stay away. If they respond aggresively, I will give them a warning. If they still do not back off, I would put an arrow through both of their hearts.

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 would ask him if he has any bows or arrows in stock.

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 do not take anything out of the chest, as they do not belong to me.

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 ask them if I could have food in exchange for some money and some directions back to where I'm going.

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?: I happily help them with ridding of these bandits. I do not accept the reward, as I am not in need of money, and i was just trying to help.

Anything else you would like to say?: I hope you accept this application because I would really love to join lotc.

Reasons:

• Your role-playing definition is not really correct and needs to be expanded.
  
• RuneScape is not role-playing experience. There is a great difference between role-playing (what we do on this server) and role-playing games (RPGs), despite the name similarities.
  
• Your metagaming and power-emoting definitions aren't really correct and need to be expanded too.
  
• Your biography needs to be greatly expanded. It is required to be at least two reasonable paragraphs, not a short collection of sentences. You need to go into much more detail in your character's story (where did he acquire his archery skills. You also need to include a description of your character's appearance, personality and age.
  
• You need to include more server lore in your biography. Show us that you are at least a little familiar with the places and major events of our world. You can research the lore on our Wiki here.
  
• Powergaming in your Open Response Questions. Even a master bowman (which you are not) cannot hit every target every time. Shooting down two warriors in one line is powergaming.
  
• Villainous activity in your Open Response Questions. You cannot commit actions such as unprovoked murder (you cannot see two men harrassing a halfling and shoot them dead) without an accepted villain application. Make sure you read over the villain rules (here) so that you are aware of what you can and cannot do without applying for a villain application.
  
• Your Open Response Questions need to be expanded. They are all required to be at least one paragraph, and written in full role-play. Some ways to expand on them would be to explain in more detail what your character does, and also explain why they do it, and "what's going through their head" at the moment. You should also include both detailed actions and dialogue in your answers. You should not include "if"s in your response. You are narrating a scenario, not listing the possible courses of events.
  
• Incorrect formatting.
  
• Insufficient effort. Every aspect of this application needs more effort and work put into it.
  

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.

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.
