Character Name: Zyraat Zenith

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

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race):

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.): Zyraat was born one misty night in a small hut outside the Holy Oren Empire. he had reasonably dark skin for a human, short brown hair, dark brown eyes and big shoulders. he grew up alone in the bush and developed his senses of smell hearing and sight realtively well, because his family was poor they couldnt afford any schooling for the little youngster. He grew up with the forest animals and wrestled with them, his dad would often take him out hunting boars with their bow and arrow. by eight he could shoot a boar from about 50 meters away and his dad decided to teach him how to use a sword. Every day early in the morning Zyraat would wake up and practise lifting the sword and swinging it from side to side, the sword was heavy so he could only do it a couple of times before he was fatigued. After about 3 years he could properly swing the sword using both arms, the wood was splintery for him but it was all he could lift. His dad being a blacksmith he got a few customers that couldnt afford the city blacksmiths, "Rowth, make me a sword" "Rowth, make me a chest plate" "Rowth, make me some boots" thats all they would say, then chuck a couple of minas at his feet. there was one man that was really mean and thought he could get away with everything, his name was Randor, one day he went too far and didnt give Rowth any money. this annoyed Zyraat past the edge, he asked his dad to make him a sword.

once Zyraat was 18 and able to dicpline him self he started pracrtising with his sword. Swingy it at trees slicing boars heads straight off. he was extremely disciplined and had a short temper. one day the big bully came back, Randor, but this time it was different. He entered as normal ordered his usual, A full set of armour within the week, and tried to walk out without paying. But this time there was someone standing in the door way, Zyraat with his sword by his side, Randor laughed "you? are you gonna make me pay for this disgusting excuse for armour?" "yes i expect you to pay" Zyraat said calmly "And what are you going to do if i dont?" "I wont let you leave, simple as that" he said mockingly "Get out of my way child or i'll chop your head from you shoul..!?!" he stopped his chatter as Zyraat unsheathed his sword with lightning sped and sliced a jagged Z in the man shirt "Z for Zyraat." Randor controlled himself and spoke calmy "if u think that'll make me pay then your wrong. move or i'll kill you." "you are the one that will be killed,not physically, but socially, i will shave your head in places and take your thumb off one hand." big talk for a little man" said the brute "lets take this outside." both men walked out and took their stances. the man slowly unsheathed his sword and brought it out in front of him, Zyraat kept his by his side slightly infront of him. Randor jumped forward with lightning speedand sliced a gash in Zyraats arm "ARRRRRGHHHH!!!!" "stop now before i kill you" said Randor, Zyraat didnt say anthing he just stood there seething. with one swift movement he jumped forward and slid under the man, on the way through he cut deep into the massive calves of the man. the man toppled and screamed "i've had enough!!!" he yelled he took his stance and raised his sword, then he brought it down into the sheath and ran. He dissapeared into the trees and we havent seen him since.

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 yell "Oi, leave that poor thing alone, pick on someone your own size!" "Dont go messing with someone bigger than yourself boy" as i walked closer the first stopped harrasing the halfling and unsheathed his sword, he turned towards me and said "save her if you can." he smiled wrily andlooked again at the halfling. As i considered the options he began to bring the sword down, disregarding all safety for myself i ran and tried to stop the sword, the man being stronger succeeded in hurting someone. But that 'someone' was me, as i jumped in he brough the sword down on the hilt of mine and it broke, the blade of his sword continued and sliced into my hand, in anger i thrust my sword out and caught the man in the gut.

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?"no thank you, i dont think you can help me today. Its extremely rare what im looking for." the man looked dejected and downcast "oh" "buut, maybe you are the one who has what im looking for." "here, come 'round the back, if its rare people will be looking for you." as i walked in through the musty shop i realised how hard this was going to be. the man set down two chairs and said "ok so what is this, that is so rare?" "employment" i said with a straight face, the mans jaw dropped "you want me to employ you? how can i, so many riches here and letting a stranger work here? i dont think so" my face drooped and i stood up and left. once i was out of the mans earshot i mummbled to my self "why wouldnt you trust someone like me?"

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 looked in the chest and there were 3 iron bars and a golden sword. i took the two iron bars and made myself a new sword then considered taking the rest of the stuff. "what if some other wandering person comes this way and finds nothhing. that wouldnt do." so i left the chest and walked outside with high spirits "who ever left that there, thank you."

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? "hello there fellow man" was the first thing to be said as i walked into the clearing that was home to a mercgant camp. "i am good but i am hungry and extremely thirsty, is there anything that i would be able to eat and drink?" one man left a group and went into a tent, then he yelled out, "Ale or milk? Beef or pork?" i wasnt surprised that they had all of these and answered "Ale and apples maybe?" there was silence for a while then "sure thing buddy, last apple, your lucky." he came out carrying a mug of ale and a big red apple, i took them and sat down near the fire. After i had finished my meal i tossed them a few minas and said thank you, then left.

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 think of all the people inconvenienced because of these bandits and think of all the able bodied men just sitting around the town. i walk to the guard unit and ask "Would i be able to help you dispatch these bandits?" a man behind a desk said "Just the man i wanted to see. Zyraat, you have a reputation for dealing with nitwits, we need one more man to complete the seige, and it seems you are the man." he took me outside and showed me the men that were already there. "Men we seige tonight" everyone cheered and started working out. that night we seiged the bandits andsubdued them, it wasnt easy but we did it, after every man took their reward and left but i refused the reward and said "i am happy to be of service, i dont need to be rewarded."

Anything else you would like to say?: I cant wait to be allowed on this server and play with everyone. i really hope my 5th application is good enough, i completely rewrote the whole thing. changed my whole story and changed my answers to the response questions :) hope i get accepted.

Reasons:

• Your grammar needs work.
  
• Your role-playing definition is not really correct.
  
• Your metagaming definition is incomplete. 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 more a definition of powergaming. Please research the term.
  
• 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.
  
• You need to explain some of your other answers in your biography. Why does your character want to find a nice girl and settle if he's lived alone with only his father for his entire life? You also failed to include a description of your character's appearance, personality and age.
  
• Powergaming in your Open Response Questions. You cannot simply take two ingots and make a sword in a run-down house in the middle of nowhere... to smith items requires a smithy.
  

Since this is your fifth application, I regret to inform you that you are not permitted to submit another application for three months.
