Definitions

 

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

Taking place of a character in a fictional world and playing as them. Living their life in a way.

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

It is a poor way to play the game, and doesn’t follow the essence of roleplaying.(like talking to people on skype)Say if you were walking along a road and you got attacked asking someone on skype or mumble to come help you would be against the roleplaying aspect you should only do that in in-game roleplay chat. It also has to do with taking advantage of outside sources as well as unconnected sources to affect the game play.

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

This is taking advantage of typing delays when initiating conversation. It is also known to be unsporty. For example, killing them while they are typing a response. Also it is attacking someone randomly without the villain application.

 

 

In-Character Details

 

Character Name:

Drong

Character Race:

Dwarf

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:

Drong was born in the Asulon Moutains. His mother Sigrid died on child birth. Drong was her first and only child. His father Thorek was a blacksmith from Karik, where his family hailed. His father fled the city with his love into the mountains to escape the ancient evil lurking in Asulon. After Drong was born and his mother buried, his father turned to drinking. As Drong grew up his father abused him, which in the long run toughened him up for the real world. By the time he was 13 his father had scared him, but also taught him life lessons. On Drong’s 15 birthday his father taught him the ways of the blacksmithing. Over the years he honed his skills and when he turned 28 he was a master blacksmith. When he was 40, and still a young man a rogue band of elves raided their house. The battle was long and costly and left his father’s arm shattered. And from that day he could no longer smith.

In later years Drong grew tired of their solitary life in the mountains. He asked his father permission to go back to the city and start his smithing legacy. His dad in his old age was weary of his son returning to the old ways, and denied him time and time again. When Drong turned 65 he and his father got in another heated argument over the subject. And after once again being denied all of Drong’s bottled rage burst, and he grabbed a hammer from the forge and smashed his father’s skull in. The act of killing gave him a sense of wonderment and accomplishment. He felt no guilt from the act and proceeded to go back to the city. In his travels he came upon an orphanage laden with supplies. Running low himself he decided the best course of action was to kill every child and nurse in the place and make off with their supplies. Again feeling no guilt he was unaffected by the act.

   Upon arriving in the city  he decided to renounce his ways to not raise suspicion. At this point in his life he was a taller than average dwarf strongly built, from years of worked the forges. His scares still cursed his body. He was 82 at this point. For his young age his beard was already quite long. He always wears his best armor while working to promote business. He solid face that is hard to read.   

What are your characters ambitions?:

To drink………a lot!

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

Drong is semi known in his corner of the city and is respected by some. He wishes to find a new purpose in life and move to a up and coming kingdom.

 

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 see a poor dwarf merchant trying ,unsuccessfully, to sell his wares. Feeling pity for a fellow dwarf trying to do the same that I wish to do I walk over and say “how long have you been in the city my friend?”. He responded “only a few weeks , and I’ve made very little barely enough to pay my rent”. Feeling sorry for him I handed him a coin purse and said “this may help you get on your feet in this new world you ventured into” (hands him coin purse and proceeds to walk away.) In my exit I hear the sound of drawstrings opening and a quite sob. From behind me I hear a quite but yet audible “thank you” from the shopkeeper. The purse contained 300 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?

I see an Orc confronting a fellow dwarf. Knowing the grave situation for my brother I lurk in the darkness of the tress waiting for the right time to strike. When the violence breaks I wait until the Orc turns his back and I see my moment. Risking my life to save a fellow dwarf I burst from the tress screaming “FOR THE DWARFS!!!” and bash the Orc head from behind. After the orc recovered we still had a hard fight ahead of us. We double teamed him so he had to split his attention. “we fight together!!” The lessons I had learned from my abusive father made me stronger and I could sustain hits better. I yelled “we got im on the ropes now boy!” through consistent blows and teamwork we were able to knock the orc out and escape.   

 

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?:

While I was walking down the road I saw an old man fall and his coin purse fell into the road. Seeing his frail old body and obvious weakness I helped him up “old man the roads are not a safe place” “the next person might not be so kind”. I then used my axe on a nearby tree and formed a new walking stick. I handed it to him saying “It may be crude but it will get you to where you are going”. He replied “thank you young man here is something for your troubles” The man handed me 50 Minas. “thank you sir this is most generous!” He said “good deeds come few and far between nowadays keep it up and you will achieve great things.” He then walked the opposite direction at his slow, yet unwavering pace.

Under review!

Sadly, I am going to have to deny this application, with the reasons being listed below.

 

- I'd like for you to re-do your definitions for meta-gaming and power-gaming. They are both a tad inaccurate. You can use Wikipedia to help you, although you MUST NOT PLAGIARIZE the answer you give.

 

- In your application, you included a good amount of server lore, so good job on that. But you participated in villainous activity, bashing in your father's head. Remove this next time you post your application.

 

- You also bashed in the Orc's head in your Open Response question. As said previously, you cannot participate in villainous activity. 

 

Remember to wait 24 hours before posting your application, and feel free to PM me with any questions you may have! Your next application will be your last chance, as it is your 5th try. Good luck!
