Definitions

In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is: Roleplaying is the act of behaving and living out a life of one’s own design. While roleplaying one must stay true to his/her time period, previous actions, and race. Also, one should not be creating things to absurd for their character to have actually achieved .

In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is:The act of using out of character information while in character. Meta gaming is also identifying others by their MC Name rather than their IC name. Meta gaming also refers to specific things, such as identifying a character even though they are wearing a hood. Also, using their IC name before introductions is meta gaming.

In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is: Power-emoting is the act of using unrealistic powers IG. For example, a warrior by profession lighting his sword on fire by looking at his sword and then going on a killing spree. While awesome, it is horrible roleplay. Also, power-emoting can involve bringing out previously unmentioned items to chat. For example, “*Bandit pins man to ground.* *Man brings dagger out and kills the bandit.*”

In-Character Details

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 am Sothe. I roam through life with nothing left significant to me. The only woman that gave me the will to believe in a peaceful and happy existence was slain by a corrupt lord, a lord I later swore to gut like a swine. Since childhood I have been outcast because I am so prone to immense rage and hate. I am loyal to those who deserve my service despite my rage, and yet there are others I will kill in an instant’s notice. I have killed so many, some rumors would have that I even killed my parents. According to other rumors, during a more dangerous rage of mine, I ended up killing all in my village. I find it somewhat flattering that I’m viewed with such hatred and infamy. After they, they being my parents, sold my twin sister to the slave markets, I felt defeated. Even worse was a few years later when I found out she was whipped to death by her tyrannical master. I have incredible skills in hand to hand combat as I have been with many guard services during my period of hopelessness. Also, my skills as a swordsman are better than most. Though I am generally lawless I now know how to keep my temper and I know the times to obey the law. I can thank Cora for that.

She was beautiful, a gift to the world. Long silver hair tumbled down her head, outlining her beautiful features. Her smile sparkled like a half moon, and remains ever so enchanting when I think of her. Fierce blue eyes flashed under the silver mess of hair, and she was always about giving back to the people rather than taking. She was my foil, to be sure. Yet somehow we both fell for each other, and she made me into not only a better person, but a more honorable man. She should not have been taken from me. If not for that thieving scum bag, the Faceless Man, we would still be together. Sadly, the skulled bandit killed her in a fit of rage when she did not cough up the desired minas.

Ever since, I have generally been considered a vague and unusual person, but those who know me understand that I am honest and loyal in most situations. Especially with those I consider higher or are respected by me. I remain pleasant to those who have not provoked me, but once on my bad side, it is very hard to remove yourself from it. At one time I even took on the role of a hero, taking from the corrupt and rich and giving to the innocent and poor in memory of my beloved Cora. After almost losing my hand to a guard, I have all but given up that novel idea. Now after wandering through Asulon for all twenty-one years of my life I am ready to go into the world. And perhaps I can make this young man with strange green hair and a distant personality into a man of great importance throughout this land.

What are your characters ambitions?: Sothe wants nothing more than to gain his own power, the fear of others, and respect by whatever means necessary. Sothe is ruthless yet loyal, and would not betray friends for power. However, allies and other acquaintances are fair game. Those who are enemies with Sothe will not be hunted unless Sothe himself be severely provoked, which is not a hard feat to accomplish.

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: Based loosely off the Fire Emblem character (But only by name and appearance).

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?

Sothe continues on walking, ignoring the dwarf. If the dwarf further approaches Sothe will respond with a simple, “Dwarf leave me alone, I am just passing through and I have no need or want of your wares. “ If the dwarf truly does need money and is in risk of death or illness, Sothe will gladly pass him some food or some minas. While Sothe is naturally aggressive towards others, he is not without empathy and knows how difficult hard times can be to get through. A little bit of kindness can go a long way. Once the Dwarf had finished shouting his pleas for business, Sothe would continue on his way into Arethor, stopping by the local brothel to see if he can find some entertainment.

You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?

Sothe glares at the scene. While he knows he has prowess in swords, he is not sure whether it would be wisest to approach the Orc, as they are known to be skilled warriors. While both the Dwarf and Sothe might’ve been able to bring down the Orc, it would not be without injury to them both, or death. Sneaking back away from the scene, Sothe attempts to remain unseen, choosing selfishly not to risk himself over some unknown dwarf. Better to remain safe than sorry, Sothe thinks to himself, watching as the Orc clubs the dwarf over the head. I was right, Sothe thought, watching as the dwarf was slowly dragged off by the massive, green abomination. “I harbor no love for Orcs,” Sothe would state many nights later to some friends at a tavern, “but I’d rather be fighting with one then against one.”

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 defenseless man. What does your character do?:

Looking over at the man, Sothe slowly approaches, offering him a hand. He pulls the old man up, rubbing some dirt off his back. Sothe then continues to pick up the minas and pour them back into the bag, handing them back to the old man. “Are you alright,” Sothe asks, gazing at the two remaining parts of the walking stick. “I think so,” the old man replies. The old man gives a curt nod and a thank and continues on his way. Smiling, now in a better mood, Sothe continues to walk and then realizes something of significance to him. “Why in Aeriel’s name am I in Malinor?!” He then continues to check his pockets and find his mina pouch empty, watching as the old man rips off his fake beard and runs off with Sothe’s minas.

Overall this was a really good application. It had a lot of content and was generally well written. There are a few things I'll nit-pick, however before I accept this application.

If you absolutely cannot do it, or are stuck please contact me. Good luck on your next application, I feel you are close to acceptance.
