Definitions

In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is: When roleplaying you become somebody else that yourself, you trying to be this person as much as possible. It´s like being an actor, you are really trying to live into this person’s life and act as you think he would do. You become one with the person.

In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is: Meta-gaming is using information that’s not kown by your character. This information could be thinks you heard outside the game.

Let´s say 2 friends starting to play on a server, instead of getting to know each other in game they decide to meet at a certain place in game. This is meta-gaming.

In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is: Power emoting is giving yourself a advantage over the opponent by acting like you are stronger or better than him. You make yourself more powerful than the opponent without giving him a chance to role-play.

Birth of Rooseus Athas

A huge storm arose on the most northern place in Asulon called War Uzg, the elements was speaking. A northerner family took shelter by the mountainside, in hope to protect the heavily pregnant mother. The family named Athas was in deep trouble, they been driven from their own homelands by the undead into orcish land. The orcs is not known for being peaceful, but to be aggressive. A group of orcs would not hesitate on killing the family.

For the moment the storm was the biggest problem since any orc would not show up in this weather, the orcs are strong and resistant but they don’t have the ability to resist the cold as the northerners. However this was not a normal storm and even a northerner would not survive this powerful element in the length, especially not a newborn baby.

The sun went down and the night approached, the storm was getting worse for every hour. Suddenly a piercing scream was released from the mother. She was in pain; this was not what they hoped for. Giving birth in the middle of a snow storm would mean instant death to the baby. After all, they had no choice and there was only one way out of this. You could hear the soft cream from the baby when it slowly came out, and you could immediately see that this was a big one. When the poor baby fell into the snow the parents knew that their child would die but to their surprise it didn’t. The dad immediately picked up the baby and could feel the heat within it, it was a boy! This was truly indescribably.

In the morning something was moving in the bushes. The storm was still as bad as before but it was not as cold as it was during the night. The creature hiding in the bushes finally raised, it was an orc! What would an orc do outside in this weather? The question was to remain unanswered. To their surprise the orc was just standing there, looking at the baby with those big yellow eyes. Normally an orc would charge on any kind of threat but this one was different. After a while everything was getting a bit embarrassing, Balder Athas which was the father of the family took the opportunity to talk. “Greetings orc! We are not here to fight”. Balder was a confident and a strong warrior, He would not hesitate on defending his family. The orc gave a quick answer: “I´m Nel`Thok, follow me to food and shelter”. The orc really wanted to save us? Why would an orc save a bunch of northerners? Everybody was still looking at each other. “I don´t find him that persuasive” Beryl Athas said who was the mother of the family

“I know, but it´s our only chance of survival”, Balder said with a forceful voice. Balders eyes was exhausted and angry, the only thing Beryl could do was to agree with him. This was not the right moment to argue since the time was short. You could hear on Nel´Thoks voice that he was tired of waiting. “You come? Or not?”. “Yes, lead the way”. Even Balder was uncertain when he was speaking.

When approaching some kind of hut inside the forest that the orc wants to call his home, the northerner family hesitates. Is this place really safe? Are they supposed to share narrow hut with a massive orc? They had no choice and accepted the orcs offer. “I´m Nel´Thok, an apprentice of Tre´bok, the doyan Sanhar, I live by the nature”. The orcs have always been known for their bad English accent, If not to speak about their strange expression and mixed words with the orcish language. “Which means?” Balder said after a while of thinking. The orc looked into balders big blue eyes and said: “I´m a shaman, guardian of the elements”. A shaman! They are known all over the world even though you don´t know much about them, just that they can control the elements. That’s why he could resist the cold. Only a true shaman can see and understand the secret of this world and the elements which is hiding it. “Food, there!”. Nel´Thok pointed at a bunch of porks lying on the dirty table. The couple devoured the meat and filled their empty stomachs, they had not eaten for a weak. “Why do you help us?” Balder said with a mouth full of meat. The orc pointed at the baby and said: “the child, it´s powerful, not a normal child would resist that weather, I can feel the power within it, that child has a connection to the elements”. Could this be the truth the orc is speaking? The parents was speechless, was their child born with magic powers? “How could this happen?” Balder asked. Nel´Thok took a closer look of the baby, touching it with his hands. Suddenly his serious face became surprised and scared at the same time. “The storm, it´s not a normal storm, this storm is special, the elements are riding this storm, and there is something powerful within this storm that was transferred to the baby during birth, I don´t know what, but the baby has a great connection to the elements.” “What does this mean?” Balder asked with a confused expression on his face. “I think he has a resistance to the powers of nature, but I am not certain, this is new to me”. Nel´Thok was rubbing his fingers on the head while talking; he seemed to be confused to. “What will u call him” he said and looked at Balder again. “Rooseus” Beryl quickly answered. The couple looked at each other for a moment before Balder said; “His name is Rooseus, Rooseus Athas”.

Description: Rooseus I not overpowered or something, he just have a great connection to the elements which means he can resist things in the nature better than others.

Rooseus Life

Rooseus had a miserable and hard life. The Athas family continued their journey and made it out of the War Uzg before the storm was over. They made it back to their homelands I Alras which now was destroyed. They could do nothing else than building up their home again. Rooseus was living as a farmer his whole childhood before reaching the age of 15, alras were then attacked and taken by the dwarfes. The family had to flee another time. When fleeing into the War Uzg the second time they were not meeting a storm as the last time, the weather was now clear. After only a day of wandering they came in contact with some nomads, the orcs charged immediately. Rooseus was able to get out with his quick body, but his parents were now old and weak and were slaughtered. Rooseus ran the fastest he could while looking over his shoulders and saw his parents die.

Rooseus ran far away from the orcs until he reached a forest. Inside the forest he met somebody, somebody that knew who he was. It was Nel´Thok, Nel`Thok bought Rooseus safety. Rooseus parents story’s about Nel´Thok wa the only thing that made him trust this unknown orc. Rooseus became Nel´Thoks secret apprentice, he studied alchemy and magic. Rooseus learned to control the elements fire, earth, water and air. Rooseus was becoming a shaman.

What are your characters ambitions?: Rooseus is studying to become a better shaman for every day, he want to reveal the secrets of the elements. He wants to use these powers for good, to prevent war. Rooseus is fighting for a peaceful world.

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? I take a step closer and look in the poor things eyes and tell him that am a shaman living by the nature, that my property’s is not worth anything here. I would let him know what I think about dwarfs; they are aggressive and ignorant and drove me out of my homeland, even though this I could see well thinks in him.

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? I take cautious steps towards the orc and tell him to calm down, i do not accept violence. When im a few inches away from him I look him in the eyes, every orc could feel the power of a shaman. The orc respect the shamans even though I don´t respect them because of my past. The orc steps back and walk away. Many problems can be solved without violence.

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´m a shaman and I do not seek riches, I am only interested in the things I gather from nature. Helping the old man is obvious for me. I bend over and help him up, gather the coins and give them back. The man offers a coin which I don´t accept, those coins is what secures his survival.
