Definitions

In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is: Roleplaying is where you act as your character as if you were him or her. Saying things as your character would and doing things as your character would.

In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is: Meta-gaming is out of character to things, so if I was on a roleplay server and I do /home, that would be meta-gaming because I am doing something my character could not do if he was real. In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is: Power-emoting is where you basically make yourself over powered as where your character was the fastest in the land and could run a mile in 10 seconds. Or maybe your character could take on a whole army with his sword of flames, that is power-emoting where your character has too much power.

In-Character Details

Character Name: Lacky

Character Race: Elf

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: I was born in a small village south of Elandriel, with my mom and dad, 5 older brothers and 1 younger sister. We lived in a big rickety house in an oak tree. My whole village and family were wood elves. I had no friends except for my sister Violet and my dog Copper. People teased me because i was short and not strong like the other elves, plus i had brown eyes. I would go hunting with my dog copper and my trusty bow and knives. I have always loved water and hunting in water because it feels like flying when you swim. I would would hunt squids for their ink sacs to sell and for the sport. They put up good fights and I almost lost a few times. When I was about 60 years old my family, now with all 5 of my older brothers gone, decided to move to our relatives farm in the forest, north of Malinor, a few days travel away. It was harsh traveling for there was a storm that lasted for two days of traveling. My Father became ill from the cold and died 1 month later. My mother wasn’t the same since and didn’t speak or do anything at all and kept to herself. When i was 100, my sister left with some elf from the capital, so I decided to leave since there was nothing left for me.

My appearance and characteristics: Slightly tan skin, brown eyes, dirty blonde hair like someone took blonde hair and smeared dirt in it. I am not very masculine and a shorter elf at a height of 5'11", so people sometimes thought i was a Mori'Quessir, but i can assure you I am a wood elf. What I lack in strength I make up in speed. I am 115 years old, so pretty young for an elf. I love water and swimming, and love hunting squids for the fight they put up, and taking their ink sacks to sell for some Minas. The personality of my elf is quiet and clever, but he also has growing furry for people around because they teased him and thought him useless.

What are your characters ambitions?: Wealth first of all, and to have an adventuring life, but I cannot deny the want for revenge on everyone for something they did.

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: thanks for looking at my app!

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 am walking around the city in the marketplace when I see a poor dwarf trying to sell his wares.

“Come get yer spices and fruits here! Exotic from Malinor and places all over!” People pass him without even thinking about him, seeing that he is just poor stupid dwarf. I think of me and how people look at me that way, suddenly I hate the people around him not giving him a chance. I hate the parent keeping her child away from the poor homeless dwarf. Finally, I hate the big city for being this way. Before I leave I buy some fruit called a papaya.

“Tasty!” I exclaim to the dwarf.

“Is it not!” replied the dwarf.

"Thank you," i say paying the dwarf.

"No thank you!" the dwarf exclaimed looking at the minas

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? Its night and I am left the city of Arethor the day before. I am walking along the Oren Road and see an Orc holding up a small rich dwarf, threatening its life If it doesn’t give him money.

“Come on you dirty scum! Tell me where you stash is or ill bash your head!” the Orc snarled.

“No please don’t! I beg! I'll give you all my money! Please! Have mercy!” they dwarf cried through sobs.

“Why shouldn't I bash your head in right now!” asked the Orc while smiling.

I feel sick how people act this way and find myself walking towards them and I punch the Orc in the face. I regret this because I am not very masculine and figting a giant adult Orc isn’t smart. He turns on me. The next morning I am walking down the road to Malinor, with a black eye, no money, a rich Orc, and a dead dwarf.

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 am almost there and to Malinor and I spot an old man up ahead. He looks wealthy and is walking with a cane. I come up to see who he is and then he falls and a large bulging bag falls out.

“GAH!” cried the man, ”Someone, Help Me!”

“I’m here!” I say as I rush over to help

He is on the ground and a few feet away is the bag. I want to go help the man but I pick up the bag, its fully of Minas. I start to go help the man but, I want the minas, and suddenly I don’t care about him anymore. I take off running to Malinor. As i am running a spot a sturdy tree branch on the ground, feeling bad about what i did i ran back with the tree branch.

"Sorry," I say to him," I dont know what I was doing there."

"Damn right kid," he spits at me

I give him the stick and 10 minas,

and take off running with the rest.

Thankyou.

Reasons for Denial:

-Your definition of Meta-Gaming could do with expanding on, it's quite vague as it is.

-Your lore is off, as after looking at your skin, the phrase "so people sometimes thought i was a Mori'Quessir," is inaccurate, as Mori'Quessir are dark-skinned, and look more like Dark Elves than normal elves.

-Your second ORQ is a bit power-gamey, as you say you punch the Orc in the face, yet wouldn't the Orc see you coming? And wouldn't the Orc's better fighting skill allow him to stop you? Think on this.
