In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is: Meta-gaming is using information from outside the game to influence the game. (this is a summary of the Wikiapedia article on meta-gaming. I hadn't enchountered the term before.)

In-Character Details

Character Name: Kivish Regiden

Character Race: Mountain dwarf

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: I, Kivish Regiden, am a dwarf, but even by their standards I am short. Barely a meter tall, I wear heavy helmets nearly all the time to disguise my lack of stature.

However, the shortness comes in handy on assasination raids, where I can travel easily under the watchful eyes of most guards. I never cut my beard to shorter than two meters and keep it in a braided coil around my neck. I am known for using it as a non-lethal weapon in brawls. I hold fast to a strong code of ethics I invented myself. I am ultimately searching for my brother's killer.

Once, when I was a lad of 16, and my brother 18, we both traveled deep into the mountains to gather firewood. In the distance, we spotted a column of smoke. It was several leagues off, but clearly still within our lands. We had a stout wooden fence, and all the neighbors knew they not to travel through my parents' lands. My brother and I decided to investigate. My older brother was learning to fight with an axe, and perhaps that made him overconfident. He challenged the robed intruder with much more

boldness than I ever hope to have. I hung back in the shadows. Without even looking up, the figure flicked his fingers towards my brother. Instantly the small fire rushed forwards, consuming my brother. I climbed a tree just as fast as I could. The fire subsided, and with a gesture, the wizard extinguished it. He headed off towards my parents' settlement. Overcome with terror, I traveled in the opposite direction, towards the great Sanctuary I had once heard about. I have no idea what happened to my parents - I never returned to my father's settlement.

I vowed to kill the mage. The best way to do this, I decided, would be to hire myself out as a mercernary/assasin to the greatest magehunters I could find.

What are your characters ambitions?: To kill the mage that murdered my brother (and possibly my parents).

To find my parents (if they are still alive).

To find my parent's old settlement, and pay my last respects.

After I have completed these goals, I intend to learn an honest trade, or perhaps found a settlement, like my parents.

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: Nothing that I can think of.

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? If I met a struggling shopkeeper, then I would probably try to give him some advice on how to get more business, money, etc. If I had no experience as a shopkeeper, and no knowledge of how or where shops could be most profitable, then I would offer some physical help, such as running errands, or helping him shout. Afterwards, I would ask him to mention my kindly to anyone looking for a mercernary.

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? The dwarf, furious at being addressed so, turns to glare up at the orc. Despite being only 3/4 of the height of the troll, he does not look at all fearfull. I run to try to wake the monk, but he merely stirs in his sleep and mutters. It looks like it's up to me to resolve this conflict. I offer to lend the dwarf my axe, and supervise a duel, as long as they leave the sanctuary first. He refuses, not very graciously, and

begins to circle the orc. The huge humanoid turns to face his agressor. As soon as he turns his back to me, I knock him out with the flat of my axe. The dwarf, furious, tackles me, only to be removed by the now wide-awake monk. I help move the orc to the infirmary, then leave the sanctuary to find some way to lose the irate dwarf, who still follows me.

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?: I help him up. Using my axe, I cut a new walking stick for him.

Then I stuff the minas back into the hole in the bag and find some way to tie it shut, or transfer the minas to another bag I hope I might be carrying. Then I ask him the question I was going to ask before the walking stick snapped. If he is going my way, I help him with the bag.

- There is no skin.

- Your biography needs to contain server lore.

- Your biography seems to be a little stale and limited by the fact you write it in first person. I find that one can write much more detailed when writing in third.

- Your grammar and spelling could use work in some areas.

- Your second open response question contains powergaming.

Please correct these errors and try again in 24 hours.
