Dandrin, a human born in the peasant village of Ager,was the youngest of his family and the favorite. Everyday his father would take him out to the firing range to practice his archery. One day he turned to his father and asked him, "Dad, do you think i'll ever be a great archer, like you?" His father answered, "Son, life is like an arrow and your destiny is the shooter. The arrow cannot just go one way and change directions, it only goes strait on, seeking it's target, and you cannot find the target without you shooter. So let destiny guide you through, hang in there, and wait to strike the bulls-eye."

At age 14, he got his first job threshing wheat in the fields outside of the town. He had been threshing wheat and thinking back on what his father had told him and he thought that nothing exciting would ever happen to him. Then one peaceful evening a group of bandits attacked thier village. Pillaging, stealing, and burning every single house and item in the village. Tears come to Dandrin's eyes when he sees his own family burned by a man with a scar from his nose to the tip of his brow who has escaped with nothing but the grief of a lost family. Dandrin vowed that day that he shall catch the man and kill him the same way his family was killed, burned at stake! He still looks for the man at age 20 with his flint and steel, his fathers bow, his father's armour, and vengance.

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?

Dandrin goes up to the warriors and demands the halfling to be droped. The man on the right says, "Why should we?" Dandrin arms his bow and says, "Because of you don't, both of you will have arrows through your eyes." The men looked at each other, and dropped the halfling on his head. "The halfling screams as he runs away. Then the men looked at each other again and drew thier swords. As that happened, Dandrin sent a shot strait into the left warrior's head. The wind starts to blow hard, as the right warrior runs away into the distance. Looking into the distance, Dandrin sees a figure behind a tree, it is the halfling! "Hello?" Says Dandrin. "I won't hurt you." As he says that, The halfling runs out of cover and into the darkness. Dandrin, being confused, decides to run away from the scene as well.

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?

Dandrin walks up to the well dressed man, takes the wares, and gives them to the merchant. He says, "Go home, see your family." When that happens the merchant speeds off into the wilderness. The well dressed man is furious and draws his sword and when he does, Dandrin sends a shot through his head.

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?:

Dandrin looks in the chest looks left, then right, and leaves with the iron bars but leaves the sword. On his way out he sees a man coming in the distance. So he dropped the sword and hid in a dark corner. After waiting about 5 minutes a man walks in and looks in the chest to see only the sword. "WHO IS THERE!?" The man shouted. As he said that Dandrin runs for the city from the man, leaving the bars behind.

Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble a

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?

Dandrin walks up to a merchant and asks, "Can you take me to your leader?" The merchant answers with a shake of his head and runs off to get thier leader. He comes back with a man who looks more like half man half orc. "Greetings, and welcome to our trading camp, how can I help you?" I answer, "I am lost, and i'm hungry. I'll work for food." "That will not be necessary. Here's some bread and stew." Said the man as he hands me the food. "Now begone from us!" He says as I run into the wilderness.

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?:

Dandrin stands up and yells "I except the challenge," and runs out to the road. When he reached the road he sees a small camp and looks around. When he looks down there is a trail of redstone. He crafts a lever and activates the redstone, which sends a electrical current down to the tnt stash that the bandits have and explodes! Killing all of the bandits.

Anything else you would like to say?:

I'd like to give credit to my friend Tharor for introducing me to the server.

Reasons:

• 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 other definitions could be expanded.
  
• 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 cannot be a master archer from the very start. You can be proficient, but not extremely skilled when you first join. Training must be done in-game.
  
• You didn't actually give your character's ambitions.
  
• Unsuitable skin. You skin does not suit your character at all. It's an armoured knight with purple glowing eyes.
  
• Powergaming in your Open Response Questions. If you walked up to two armed men without a weapon and ordered them to drop the halfling, they'd most likely laugh at you then kill you. In addition, you cannot simply pull out your bow and shoot one in the head.
  
• Your second Open Response Question is confusing. The well-dressed man is the merchant. In addition you are powergaming archery again.
  
• Villainous activity in your Open Response Questions. Actions like unprovoked murder and thievery require an accepted villain application to commit. 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.
  

Please note that this is actually your third application, not your fourth.
