Definitions

In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is: The act of “living” in another world, experiencing an out of body fantasy for enjoyment/gaming purposes.

In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is: Meta-gaming is an out of character experience, so essentially, its where I know the character’s name, however my character doesn’t (suppose I’m on skype). So, my character is going to know my brother Andrew Gariepy’s character, because we are family, however my character will not know my friends character, however I know his name and such, but my character doesn’t and I use that information in my character.

In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is: Putting an Emote, where someone can’t react. Like “Jesussus killed Gronthar”

In-Character Details

Character Name: Matthew Fereldas

Character Race: Human

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:

Matthew is a young northern human, 25, about 6 feet tall, built from strong manual labor, “mountain man” in look and values (rugged, solitary life, simple.). Matthew is slightly pale from working indoors but it’s not uncommon to see him with a tan due to his outside work as well (chopping wood, hunting, working on the house.) Matthew enjoys simple things but also has small forms of ambition. He wants the best for his brother Andrew Fereldas. They lived in Ager, after their parent’s death when Matthew was 10 and Andrew was 6 (due to plague.) They then moved to the wilderness to hopefully survive on their own, due to the fact that they had no money and Matthew’s father taught him basic survival skill, and also taught him how to maintain a farm. Andrew learned how to explore, hunt and other survival skills from Matthew, but also picked up some survival skills from his travels in the wilderness.

Matthew tends to be untrusting since they’ve only had Andrew for the longest time. Matthew wants the best for his brother, he doesn’t care what he does, and he just wants the safety of his brother and himself but also just the best for him. Basic, yet still complex in emotional nature. Matthew Is opposite his brother in trust. He trusts, Matthew doesn’t. All in all, They make a good duo. That’s the way it will stay.

What are your characters ambitions?: Small, Matthew has a idea somewhat related to the “American dream/pursuit of happiness.” He just wants to work for his money and live a simple life. There is one exception, due to Matthew and Andrew’s past, If Andrew was ever harmed/hurt/killed, Matthew’s ambition would immediately change to kill whoever killed his brother, or his family (if he ever has one.) Besides that, Matthew’s ambition can also be swayed by Andrew Fereldas’ ambition. Although Matthew has some leadership qualities when needed, due to his parenting of his brother Andrew, he is in general not a leader unless he is called upon to do so.

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

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: Really the only thing I can reiterate is how strong the bond of Andrew and Matthew really goes. We are brothers in real life so it definitely helps with the role playing of the bond.

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?

Matthew understands and feels the drive of the Dwarf. Matthew helps the shop-keeper by buying a few wares. Matthew doesn’t want to spend too much. Matthew doesn’t trust other people too much and doesn’t want to let loose too much of his money which he earns for himself and his brother Andrew, therefore Matthew doesn’t spend too much. Conversation with the Dwarf and others at the shop is not uncommon with Matthew so he engages in good conversation with the keeper and nearby people. He leaves with a smile, after leaving checking the goods to make sure he wasn’t cheated in any way.

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?

This honestly depends.

If Matthew is by himself, he would most likely walk off and not get in the middle of this fight. It’s the wisest thing to do and he probably needs to get home to safety soon due to night time

HOWEVER: If Matthew Is with his brother Andrew, Most likely Andrew would get involved and Matthew would lend words of wisdom to both parties as Andrew tries to calm them down, If things got out of hand, Matthew would get Andrew out of there as quickly as possible, hurting either dwarf or orc if they so laid a finger on him. If not the two would run away and there’s a good chance Matthew would Scold Andrew for it later, due to their bond, Matthew wouldn’t stay mad for long.

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?:

For the record its *defenseless*

Matthew would immediately help the old man gather his coins and ask the old man where he is staying, then Matthew would help the old man to his destination; Matthew would expect no payment in return. However a little “price” Matthew would desire is a little information on the old man, what was he doing and why did he have that money? And what were his professions and such. However Matthew wouldn’t stick around for long due to Andrew being back at home.

Thank You for taking the time to read this! I hope me and my brother Andrew can begin our RPing very soon!
