Reasons:

• Your role-playing definition is incorrect.
  
• Your metagaming definition is incorrect. Don't be afraid to search the internet to find the definition, but make sure your response is written in your own words! Plagiarism is a bannable offence. I have also written a rather comprehensive guide to avoiding it, which you may wish to read. There is a link to it in my signature.
  
• Your power-emoting definition is plagiarised from the Urban Dictionary. You are hereby banned from applying for one month.
  
• Your spelling and grammar needs work.
  
• Cliche biography. Your parents being killed as a child is an extremely cliche and overused backstory in LotC. Try to come up with something more original?
  
• 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 archery skills. You cannot be the best archer in the world. Even the greatest archer in Asulon cannot hit every target every time, and you are not the greatest. Please make your character's skills realistic.
  
• Powergaming in your Open Response Questions. Pinning two armed warriors to the ground with two shots through their foot in a matter of seconds is powergaming.
  
• 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.
  

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.

You may reapply in 1 month from the time of this post.
