Definitions

In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is: Pretending to be a made up or fictional character, and following your characters traits even though they may not be your own in real life.

In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is: Say the Queen is captured, if you go right to the hidden dungeon where she is being kept because the Queen pm'd you the location.

In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is:Playing something like it isn't role-play. Like killing without warning.

In-Character Details

Character Name:Ryan Freeman

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: Daniel Freeman is a simple minded, kind boy who follows orders and stays out of trouble. He is very disciplined, partly because of his his fathers insistence of good manners and kindness. His father, William Freeman was a simple farmhand, going through hard labor to provide for his family. Daniels mother, Elizabeth Freeman spun wool and helped out around their small cottage. When Daniel was 19, he was hired as a farm guard. It was a dull job, but Daniel needed what money he could get. One day, Daniel was defending the Jefferson farm. It was a small, 5 acre barely farm. 3 bandits showed up, with pikes, swords and black-dyed leather armor. They came demanding any valuables on the farm, a typical rogue procedure, Daniel had thought. When one of the rogues raised a pike over the farmers head, Daniel had decided that it was time to step in. He came out of nowhere, kicking the rogue with his weapon readied hard in the ribs. The man doubled over, and met the flat of Daniels sword across his temple. He fell to the ground, unconscious. The second man drew his sword just in time to parry one of Daniels thrusts. The parry was clumsy, and left a wide open gap in his side. Daniel quickly turned around and swung a devastating backhand stroke into the mans ribs. He dropped to his knees, holding the deep gash in his side. By the, the third man had his sword drawn and readied. He brought down and overhead strike, but Daniel saw it from a mile away and quickly bobbed to the side. Daniel quickly seized the man into a grapple and brought him to the ground. He threw two heavy handed punches into the mans nose before he even knew what had hit him. Daniel quickly drew his dagger, and attempted to plunge his dagger into the mans throat. A hand caught his arm with an iron grip, and easily threw him to the side. He looked up, and saw the man who he had backslashed. His face was red with rage, and there was an indescribable hate in his eyes. The face was drained of all it's color when a pitchfork drove it's was through the mans abdomen. The farmer quickly yanked his pitchfork out and drove it into the man on the ground, still stunned by Daniels punches. That was probably the most interesting encounter in Daniels life. But scenes like those often happened, but not on quite such a dramatic scale.

What are your characters ambitions?: To help protect his fellow man from raiders and robbers, and to be as kind and well mannered as he can.

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? Daniel goes up to the shopkeeper, looking over his wares, despite not having the money to buy many expensive things. He eyes a beautifully crafted, Dwarven sword. He politely asks the shopkeeper where it's from. "Oh, I brought her back from the homeland. Quick a beauty, isn't she". "Sure is, how much would a blade like this cost" Daniel inquired. Right as the Dwarf was about to answer, two men came barging in the door. "Oi, look man! It's the poor little dwarf, trying to make a living!". "Hey how about you pack up, and leave this city, you dirty Dwarf!". The man accompanying him snickered, even though the joke was obviously not funny. "How about you leave him alone, you filthy street rat". Daniel sat up, and got into the mans face. The mans nose was badly twisted, obviously from having it broken too many times. "Oh, and who might this be, you sly Dwarf"! The Dwarf recoiled further back into the shop. "How about you leave him alone, and we wont have a problem" Daniel said defiantly. "Ooo, and i'm supposed to be scar..." The man never got the last word out as Daniel struck him across the Jaw with a wicked right hook. He grabbed the second man, and smashed him in the nose several times with his fist. He grabbed both men by their collars, and dragged them back out into the street. He hated racist scum like them.

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? Daniel goes up, recognizing the dwarf as the one he had encountered several days before. He watched the situation for several seconds, until he sees the Orc draw his massive battle-ax. The Dwarf screamed and managed to leap out of the way of the first strike. As the massive orc drew his axe up again, he met the blade of Daniels sword to his battle-ax. The sudden force threw the blade to the ground. And as soon as the Orc bent down to grab him weapon, the point of Daniels dagger was at his throat. "Walk away" were the only words the humiliated orc had to hear before running off into the night. "The shaking dwarf stood up, and handed Daniel 3 pieces of silver. "It's all I have on me, thank you so much!" the dwarf exclaimed. Daniel accepted to silver, and wandered off into the night.

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?:Daniel hurridly goes down to the side of the man, seeing if any injuries are done. The man seems alright, and Daniel heaves him up onto his feet, holding him up. He gives the man his sword to lean on. He picks up all the coins and places them back into the mans bag. He goes into the nearby woods, and finds a large stick suitable for walking on. He hands it to the man, and goes on his way,satisfied with himself.
