Definitions

In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is: Roleplaying is when a player assumes the life and characteristics of a fictional character in-game. It would include habits, speech, and of course the character's race. You no longer act as you would, but completely as your character.

In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is: Meta-gaming is when OOC information is used in-game. Ex: My character does not know in-game about a war that is between two different races, but he goes anyways.

In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is: Power-emoting is when you perform actions as your character that are either too overpowered or they do not allow the other player to respond in time or make adequate RP. EX: William knees the orc in the gut and then cuts his head off finishing him off.

In-Character Details

Character Name: Risen

Character Race: Elf

Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary:

A dark, cloudy night covered Normandor. If you happened to be on the west side of the city, you would have heard cries in the night as the miracle of birth occurred. Since, there are rarely Elven children compared to other races, this night was special to Risen's parents. Their legacy would be upheld in a new life. His mother whispered a quiet phrase to her newborn son, "Ahern taelu". One of the few phrases the elf new, it translates into the common tongue, "Blessing of learning." Risen had been blessed by his parents and his life would follow the path set for him.

As Risen grew in stature, so did his love for learning and nature. You could commonly find him sitting among the trees attempting to decipher what he could of the strange, yet beautiful world he lived in. Being a wood elf by blood and appearance, Risen felt at one when he would travel on long walks through the vast forests of Malinor. His father although willing to defend his home and family at all costs, instilled within Risen a love for peace and tranquility. Silence was a thing of beauty to him and he would spend hours contemplating the various subjects he was taught in his humble schooling.

Risen devoted his life to his studies and the protection of the nature that he so very loved. There was pain in the world that confused Risen. He had a long life ahead of him, and he intended to use his studying capabilities to learn whatever he could to benefit his fellow elves and Asulon in general. While in Normandor one day, he had heard of a place known as the Druid's grove. Of course he had heard of the famous Elven druids, but this new knowledge was very special to him. He realized there was actually a place where others with similar goals studied and protected nature. This became his goal. He would attempt to become a Druid initiate, but if he was not able to, he would still live a life, maybe even as a monk.

What are your characters ambitions?: Risen is a passive elf, that would only even consider retaliation in the direst of circumstances. He has hopes just like everyone else, but his are rather unique. Even among the elves, you would rarely find any who study or enjoy nature as much as him. He aspires to the humble life of either a monk or a druid.

Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here:

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: Risen is kind in most any way. He is also somewhat of a writer in the making.

Open-Response-Questions

Each question here must be answered with a minimum of one full paragraph, and detail the scene you are given in the way it would happen in roleplay. These questions should be answered in first person. Be detailed, not short.

Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response?

With a steady gaze, Risen slowly glances around at the magnificent city of Arethor. Although the architecture is grand, he feels slightly uncomfortable being away from his homeland and especially away from nature. Seeing the dwarf on the side of the road, practically ignored, Risen briskly walks forward to discuss his circumstances and wares with him.

"Hello, my good dwarf! I see you are selling some fine items here." Examining an iron chestplate, Risen nods, "Yes, this craftsmanship is definitely that of a dwarf.I am afraid, however, that I am unable to buy anything too substantial. I am a humble elf, but I could use a fresh apple. Glancing at the assortment of foods before him, he points, "There we go, that one please."

The dwarf, delighted in his new customer's enjoyable attitude and willingness to help out a poor dwarf, smiles and responds, "Aye, a foine choice t'at one. From deh great hold of Kal'Alras. Mind you one of t'e last since the recent move ter Karik. It will beh a fair proice ov'e 7 emeralds."

Risen nods and quickly pulls out a few emeralds. Counting, he places seven shining emeralds before the dwarf. "There, that should cover it. Thank you!" With a quick farewell, Risen walks away to continue his studies about the human culture.

You’re in the Cloud Sanctuary late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. The only present monk is fast asleep, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?

Walking into the Cloud Temple, Risen quickly gathers what the situation looks like. He spots the dwarf and the orc squabbling over something and the lazy monk sleeping despite the commotion. Knowing his lack of physical strength and fighting ability, he slides towards the monk hoping not to gain too much attention.

Nudging the monk, Risen bids him arise in a hushed tone, "Sir, please get up quickly. There seems to be a sort of argument going on. The typical fashion between orc and dwarf."

The monk wakes up groggily, but quickly moves into action. He walks to the two causing the ruckus and quickly scolds them, "Mind I remind you two this is a place of peace and serenity! Please, be off now and remember never to cause this commotion again." Grumbling, the two set off to their different home cities.

Walking back to Risen the monk sighs, "Always something new between those two races. I have to thank you though. I shouldn't have been sleeping and you stopped a fight before it began. You have my gratitude."

Risen blushes and says, "There is nothing to thank me for. I am just upholding the temple's values. Thank you for the kind words though."

Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?:

It was a peaceful night in the forests near Malinor. Risen was off strolling down the main path as he so often did when seeking peace from the city life. He gives a gasp as he sees the old man huddled on the side of the road. Quickly running up, Risen addresses the old man. "Are you alright sir? Here, let me help you up."

The man, groaning from the fall, slowly rises from the ground. "Ah, my walking staff is broken. Son, could I get you to go get another for me quickly from the woods. I am too old for these type of things anymore."

Risen nods and walk to the edge of the forest. Taking a look at several dead limbs on the ground, he finally finds one suitable for travel. Coming back to the path, he gives the man the staff, "Here you are, let me help you gather your other belongings as well." Leaning over, Risen grabs coins and hands them to the man. The man thanked Risen for the help and set off leaving him to stroll farther on his nature walk.
