Definitions

In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is:

Roleplaying is playing the part of a character and controlling, guiding, or behaving as them according to their given behaviors.

In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is:

Meta-gaming would be taking information from out of character, or simply information your character would not know yet, and putting it to use in-character.

-- Bob learns in Jim's character bio that he's deathly allergic to mushrooms. The next time Bob sees Jim, he has mushrooms ready, and throws them at his face to weaken him.-- This is meta-gaming because Bob did not learn of Jim's weakness in character.

In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is:

Power-emoting would be using emotes in a way that provides your character with an extreme unfair advantage, like saying that your character can escape any situation, evade any attack, and beat any foe he/she is presented with.

--Bob meets Timothy, a skilled soldier. Bob aggravates Timothy to the point that Timothy jabs at him with his sword. Bob dodges his jab, grabs his next swing, and traps the man. He runs off afterward, completely unscathed. -- This would be power-emoting because Bob completely controlled the combat situation and wins without consequence without even allowing a second input from Timothy.

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:

As a child, Balder Frey and his family lacked wealth. His father had been a soldier, but had passed long before Balder matured. His mother worked at a loom, recieving very little pay. Balder was not schooled, he did not train any skills, nor was he a prodigy. Like many other children of his stature, he was forced to live off of what he could take.

As Balder neared the age of 17, his mother had become very ill. He set off into the woods to gather herbs in hopes of making a medicine to help with her sickness, or even something he could make a small profit from and buy medicine. While gathering the herb, he stumbled onto the home of a Blacksmith. The man rushed out to meet Balder, demanding his business on the property. He stated only that his mother was sick, and he was gathering herbs. He knew not to bother others for help. Yet, as Balder turned away, the man offered to give him medicine in exchange for his assistance. He accepted.

Balder worked under the Blacksmith for a long while, aging over 25. He had gained some bulk from his work and was a fair height, one barely could tell he had ever been poor. When Balder aged his 27th year, he said his good-byes to the blacksmith and his mother, and left to start anew. The blacksmith offered him some tools and minas, and Balder accepted them. He gave more than than half of the funds to his mother, knowing she definitely could use it. He set off for Arethor soon after.

What are your characters ambitions?:

To start a new life and make great use of his remaining years.

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character:

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?

Balder watches the Dwarf for a short while, sympathetically. He steps over to the shop, "What have you got for sale? I could use a few things." Balder buys a few trinkets, regardless of his need. He knew what it was like to be poor and wanted to help. As he started to walk in another direction, he turned back around. "So what's your story, then?" The dwarf explained his poverty and his goals in Arethor. Balder listened to his story and could not help but want to offer his assistance. "If you ever need my help, you need only ask. I am not far from here. Here, take this." Balder hands him a handful of minas. He nods his head warmly upon hearing the dwarf's thanks. Balder turns to continue along his 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?

Balder eyes the Orc from a distance, waiting to find the right moment to intervene. Just when it looks as if the situation would turn violent, Balder rushes over and places himself between the two and urges peace. The orc persists, eventually swinging his fist at Balder's head. Balder raised his arm and blocks it, but very sloppily and stumbles slightly. At this, the dwarf takes advantage of the unguarded orc and strikes as well. Balder helps to overpower the orc and drive him away. He turns to the dwarf, "You alright?" The dwarf nods in response. Balder brushes off his sleeves, "He ought not to return again. Although, you can never tell. Give me a shout if you need my help. I'm always glad to help a man in need." Balder shakes the dwarf's hand and walks to continue his task.

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?:

Balder quickly ducks down to gather all the minas into a pile and slide them back into the bag. As much as he could use the extra mina, he is not willing to take great advantage of the helpless man. Balder proceeds to help the man from the ground and hand him the bag. "Here you are, sir. Are you alright?" The old man rises and brushes himself off, saying he was fine. Balder searches his pack to find something he might repair the stick with. He finds nothing. "I'm sorry about your walking stick. I don't have anything to help with that, at the moment." The old man waves away the comment, assuring Balder that all was fine. "Oh, yes. I wanted to ask-- Is this the proper way to Malinor?" The man nods yes. "Thank you, sir. I'd best continue along my way. Good-bye!" Balder turns to continue along the road, and finds he'd missed a few minas. "Oh, and there's a few minas here, I think they're yours." "Keep them," the man responded. Balder kneels down to collect it. Standing back up, he turns to the man, "Thank you!" He turned on his heel and continued on his way to Malinor.
