What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: My knowledge on Role playing is fairly vast and flexible.

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.): Kaldim Whitebeard was named from his long-aged beard and hair, white in color. This armored dwarf resided in his home in the mountains, crafting his own armors and weapons and eventually grew old protecting his home. After the lands withered, he traveled alone. With his sword in hand he looked for a new home. In combat, he appears to have lost his eye to a skeleton which had traveled onto the path he had traveled, the arrow piercing his eye. This dwarf was clearly old, but he had strength enough to travel and fight. To those who have met him, he would easily be bitter and defensive or kind and compassionate.

In his time, he met many individuals, completed a few feeble tasks, and aided crafters and miners in their works, however he lacked his true purpose in life... so he continued to walk, hoping someone would reach out, and welcome him into their society. Strength and intelligence were not devoid in this dwarf, nor were compassion and understanding. Rugged old looks apparent, and muscle seen visibly.

What are your Character's ambitions?: Finding a home, and staying strong, mainly, along with finding someone who would share in his intelligence and compassion.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):

Pickaxe and Sword

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Excellent craftsmanship, strong, and loyal.

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? Kaldim Whitebeard walks up to the two gentlemen, hands resting on his hips. "Oy! Leave tha' boy alone, aye? Ye' have no business takin' the lad's money, aye?" Kaldim scoffs, "Ye' call yerselves guards yet ye' steal from citizens!" he rests his hand on the hilt of his blade, "Just let 'im go, alright?"

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? "Well, sir. I see yer wares 'ere. They look mighty fancy, aye? What might ye' suggest for a dwarf like myself, eh?" he looks up at the man with a chuckling smile, obviously pleased by what the man offers.

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?: Kaldim Whitebeard inspects the hut a bit longer before leaving the items in the box, "Ach.. I have no business in takin' wot's no' mine." he walks out immediately, leaving the items alone and continues on his path.

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? Kaldim Whitebeard clenches his stomach in apparent hunger, before exhaling at the site of the camp. The dwarf bows to the members of the camp in respect before stating, "Oy, lads 'n lasses... would ye' be so kind as to offer myself a meal? I'd kindly return the favor in action to yer kindness.." he looks around, nodding to the various members before awaiting an answer.

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?: Kaldim Whitebeard draws his blade from its sheath, following the town guards to the defense of the town, "Alright, lads! I'm here t' lend ye' a hand! Ye' ready to deal with these sons of arses?!" Kaldim stands in the middle of the group, waiting for the orders of the guard to allow permission for his blade to meet others in combat.

Anything else you would like to say?: Other than I hope I get this chance, nay.

Your application has been...

Denied.

Clarify your Meta-Gaming definition. The one you currently have is more like Powergaming. You can find more info on the forums and wiki.

'I left them because none had Roleplaying on it, just a self-proclimation of having RP but never providing it.' I know that feel. Do I ever.

Please add some server lore to your bio, which can be found on the forums and wiki.

Expand on ORQs.

You clearly have a solid grasp on roleplaying, but your application lacks details about Lord of the Craft. If you can prove you'll be able to use your roleplaying skills within the server that we've already created and built up, you'll be golden.

You can reapply 24 hours after this post. If you have any questions feel free to send me a PM.
