In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is:Using OOC knowledge in character or abusing server mechanics to acheive things in character. IE: Tom uses Sally's name card to find out what town her character is from and steals things from her house.

In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is:Powergaming is giving your character special abilities not approved by the lore master or emoting in such a way that the other player can not counter or fight back at all.

Character Name:"The Shade" or "Tekko Maitokiai"

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:

Tekko is a rather short, thin man standing at only about 5' 1". At the age of 23, he is still rather young. He wears basically all black covering his whole body excluding his eyes and the immedeate area around his eyes and also has a black hood to make those less visible aswell. He also wears a red bandana and a red scarf. Because he conceals his whole body, not many people know what he actually looks like.

Tekko means iron or armor. His name definitley does not suit him. Tekko is a weaker frail person. The only way he may fight without losing is fighting unfairly. He usually is seen using a walking stick only but that is a trick. The walking stick is a shikomizue. It hides a ninjato, his primary weapon. Up his sleeve is more, a short bow complete with special arrows that a friend designed him, some poisons that mess with the senses, and some small capsules filled with sand and mashed glass. All used for hit and run techniques. When on a larger mission, he will bring a longer bow and a kusarigama.

Born into nobility, Tekko was sheltered from the dangerous outside world. Around the age of 2, he was kidnapped, most likely to be held for ransom. The criminal barely eluding the guards, must choose between keeping Tekko and allowing the guards to keep up or leaving him and getting away. Instead of the two options keeping Tekko safe, he drops him off the small tower he was hiding in and makes his getaway. Luckily, Tekko lands in a wheat cart. The cart carries him back to a local grainery where the family living there raises him. He takes their name and folows in their foot steps as a farmer. Living in the lower class, he learns the corrupt nature of the rule of the land.

After he and his family live in mistreatment for 11 years, Tekko discovers something about his surrogate father. He was in a rebellious fighting force aiming to stop the feudalist forces in this part of the kingdom. His father attempts to send him away for his safety but Tekko only resists until the point where his father agrees. For the next 5 years he trained to learn everything he knows about fighting, deception, and strategy. Though they could not afford weaponry, they made their own. A ball on chain with a simple hoe on the end became their kusarigamas. They filled eggs with dust and crushed glass to blind their enemies. The frogs living in the marsh provided poison. After 5 years of his training,he gained his full acceptance to the group and was given the nickname "The Shade" after completing his final test.

Another member 2 years older than him, "The Wind" became his best friend. Whenever on a mission together, they always supported each other and worked best together. The Shade always moving in and disorienting his foes while The Wind's marksmanship never failed to cripple anyone attacking. One day, The Wind developed a new weapon for The Shade, an arrow that decieves the target. It had special passages for air to pass through. The air passing through makes a noise that sounds like someone is whispering to you. The perfect quick distraction for others to move in. Unfortunatley this back fired. They were assigned to capture a guard for questioning. As The Wind shot a whispering arrow, The Shade moved in too early and was caught as the guard turned around. About to be executed on the spot, Tekko learns what it really means to kill someone; the fear, the emptiness, and the sadness. Another member, The Hammer, who was checking on them-this being a test, quickly smashed the blade of the guard the other way, shattering off the upper part. To avoid another close call, Tekko was given the blade, his Ninjato which was sharpened and modified to look like a regular walking stick.

Because of his failure, he was not allowed on the next mission-to eliminate Tekko's birth father. Tekko wanting to fight, thinking he provide support arrives to be shocked. The order has been backstabbed by a member, The Flame. He gave them away in order to get himself off the hook. Everyone including the Flame was eliminated. As Tekko's father blames the village, he orders the immeadeate execution of everybody linked to the rebellious group. The Shade runs home to his surrogate mother. She and he arrange for a ride out of the kingdom to a far off land known as Asulon. The soldiers, attempting to stop the escape, fire one last arrow. As Tekko closes his eyes, he feels a weak thump hit him. His surrogate mother had shielded him. Alone and lost, Tekko only has one thing in mind: finish the mission.

What are your characters ambitions?: Tekko hopes to remove the corrupt and unjust rule in Asulon and carry on the order's ideals/mission.

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character:(Concerning the villan application I plan on making, one of the moral limits of this character is not to kill unless absolutely necessary and I do not plan on making him a hired gun or just jumping straight into killing his targets. Things would needed to be planned and done with others. I understand that is one of the things about the villan application, making it fun for yourself and others by adding an antagonist. It won't be me running around attempting to kill all the guards, It would be the opposing party trying to figure out the puzzle, catch me, finding out what the others with me and I have planned.)

He hums when he fights to keep rhythm. Because Tekko has no real job, he earns his income through petty theft of the rich (Its like Robin Hood except you make alot more money for yourself.) and small work for those whod hire such a sketchy looking person.

Just some fun bits now. He can't understand orcish language. Often times when posed with a problem or question he will tilt his head to the side. The harder the problem is, the larger the tilt is. Whenever needed to create a distraction, it would be done in funny ways such as mimicing guards, running in the rough, or committing dumb crimes. Though he is a very sneaky person, he may often give himself away because he sometimes talks to himself. Sometimes even loudly. Tekko is also fiscally irresponsible.

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?

As The Shade walks through the city, trying to create a mental map for a getaway, he notices a shop keeper selling goods. Because Tekko usually uses ANYTHING, he goes to empty his wallet. The shop keeper offers him everything from food to mechanical parts to the trash. Tekko buys everything. As Tekko goes back to his home to hide all the loot, he realizes something. Hes broke again. As he puts on his mask, he grips his walking stick and thinks to himself: Better go get some more money.

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?

As the cold night went on, the walk seemed to get more and more peaceful when suddenly loud angry gibberish shatters the tranquility. Seeing the situation get worse and worse, The Shade realizes this will ruin his night no matter what happeneds. The aggressor wants violence so The Shade will deliver it straight to him. He walks over to a wooded area and throws a stone at the head of the orc. As he turns around with more rage, the dwarf runs in fear. Tekko begins to move from hiding spot to hiding spot, mocking the orc as he goes along. The orc, being able to tell the general direction of his voice,lumbers over. Tekko is amazed at the speed of the heavy orc and realizes this is a fight that he won't win too easily. He escapes behind a nearby tree as the orc continues to rush to him. He has no time to lay down a trap. Remembering the direction the dwarf went, he heads that way and lands in Stoneholm. The persistant orc is still folowing him. Tekko looks up on the wall to see the signal for guards, a bell. The orc appears to be a giant attacker so if the guards come, they will fight back. Tekko fires at the bell, first missing, then hitting on the second try, awaking the guards. Tekko slips into town and removes his hood and mask, trying to blend in with the town as he leaves the orc to the guards.

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?: (defense has no "c" in it so you guys might want to fix that)

Tekko would get down to the man's level. As the man is about use Tekko's hand as a support for getting up, he'd slap his hand down then pull him up himself. Ignoring the man's complaints about how he was just "helped" him up, Tekko hands him his walking stick. Tekko gathers up the minas and gives it back to the old man. The man thanks him trying to keep a good tone. As the two part ways, Tekko realizes something. Where is his shikomizue? He rushes back the other way to the old man to retrieve the walking stick he just gave him, his concealed blade. He runs toward where the old man was walking. It is going to be a long day.

Well, that was alot of writing but at least it passed the time. I guess I got carried away with the story. Sorry about the long read and thanks for reviewing it.
