Definitions

In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is: Roleplaying is the chance to be whoever you want to (within rules, of course). You can escape from reality to live the life of a small folk or a knight and have all the fun associated with it. You basically live out another person’s life including relationships with other, real players.

In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is: Meta-gaming is using information that would not be available to a real person in an unfair way. This includes events in Minecraft such as seeing a name through a wall. Using that name unfairly would be going into the room just because you saw the name.

In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is: Power-emoting is when one roleplays in a way that does not allow the other player to act in response. This usually involves including the result of an action in the same text as the action, such as swinging a sword at someone and hitting them at once.

In-Character Details

Character Name: John Smith

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: John Smith is 25, around 6 feet 2 inches, with black eyes and black hair. He has just enough muscle to not be called scrawny and wears basic cloth clothing. He is rather timid and has trouble talking to new people, leading to many awkward encounters. Despite his quietness though, he is not afraid to stand up for what is right or help.

John’s family had lived in Arethor for years. His father was a blacksmith and trained him to inherit his business when he died. Unfortunately, half way through his training, his dad died of the plague. After that, 15 year old John, his mom, and his 3 sisters barely survived by selling homemade bakery goods. At 24, he decided to leave the city to find a new way to support his family at home. He decided on finding a nice, small town to take up his ambitions of being a blacksmith like his father.

What are your characters ambitions?: He wants to become as skilled of a blacksmith as his father was and to be able to support his family back home.

Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here: http://i.imgur.com/4Xtwi.png, it is also attached.

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: No.

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? Living as a peasants, he feels sympathetic and decides to help. “Hello sir, how can I help you today?” says the dwarf. “I’m just browsing, to see if there is anything I might need.” says John. Can I interest you in some of my new gems?”. “I’m sorry, but I can’t afford luxuries like that”. After 5 minutes of looking around and listening to the dwarf talk about his new products, John realizes that there is nothing there for him. Still feeling sympathetic, he apologizes for not buying anything but gives the dwarf 10 Minas and wishes him good luck.

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? John never hesitates to help, and confronts the Orc. “Stay away from him” says John, while signaling with his hands to the dwarf to run. After several insults and mocking, the Orc pulls out his club to beat John. Sensing that he is about to be hurt, John kicks a pile of sand into the Orc’s face to disorientate him while running back into the woods. Being that the Orc is slow and clumsy, he loses him amongst the trees.

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?: John immediately runs over to help him and make sure he is not hurt. He leans him up against a tree and finds a stick he can use a cane for the rest of the trip. When he gets back he picks up the Minas. “Here, you dropped these” John says. He gives them to the old man and helps him back onto his feet. Realizing that the old man’s destination is only several miles away, he helps him to get where he was going. When they arrive, the old man thanks him and John returns to his voyage.
