Definitions
In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:

Role-playing: Role-Playing is to act as if you are a completely different person, making a new life for yourself in a game and trying to survive in a way that your character would. The aspect of Role-Play is to become the player you created for a game and to act as if you were never anything but them. You start a life for your player however you want them to become.
Meta-gaming: Meta-Gaming is to use outside information to aid you player that you are character with; information that your character could not know without the players knowledge. As an example, if the players friend told them in real life how to get into their character's house, and the person used that information to help his character get into his friends house, that would be considered Meta-Gaming.
Power-emoting: Power-Emoting is to do an action, but to make that action unstoppable by another player. In an RP fight a player would do this to end the fight instantly. For example: Larten walked up to Murlough and stabbed him in the gut, finishing Murloughs life instantly. This is considered Power-Emoting. How a RP fight should go is : Larten walked up to Murough and attempted to stab Murlough's gut, but murlough explected the move and dodged the blow.

Full Name: Yurgon Horst
Current Age: 26
Sub-race (if any): Northerner
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):

 

       Yurgon grew up in the land of Ager with his mother and father. Yurgon's father was a woodcutter and his mother stayed home to take care of Yurgon's younger brother, Matao. The man that Yurgon's father collected wood for always nagged him about how he destroyed the landscape around them when he cut the wood, so he insisted that his father go far out into Ager's forest and cut the trees there. His father had no choice but to agree, he knew nothing other than cutting wood, which would be the only way to keep his family from starving. Every morning his father went out into the forest to collect the wood, until one day Yurgon's father never returned home after leaving. Yurgon and his family did not worry too much, his father had gotten lost in the forest before, so none of them panicked. Only when night came was the family worried, Yurgon told his family that he would go look for his father in the morning. Yurgon woke up and went on the path that his father usually took, he knew the trail well since his father had him tag along a few times. Yurgon reached the area where his father cut the wood, there was no doubt that this was the spot, for hundreds of yards, all you could see was tree stumps. Yurgon walked over to a half cut tree with his father's axe sticking out of it, this troubled him, his father took his axe everywhere with him. He scoured the area until he found he found a blood stained boulder. Yurgon did not want to know what was on the other side of it. He slowly walked to the other side and let out a groan. His father was slumped against the boulder with a large hole in his chest.

"Father!" Yurgon cried, his whole body was shaking.

His father did not reply, his father was dead. Yurgon sat and mourned for his father's dead for hours. He finally found the strength to get up and go tell his family. His family was just as sad as he was he found out. The next morning the Yurgon, his mother and his brother went to go bury him. Yurgon thought of no better place to bury his father than the forest in which he spent most of his time in. When they finished digging the hole, Yurgon carried his father's lifeless body and gently put it in the hole. Just as they went to fill it in, heavy footsteps came from behind them. Yurgon looked up and went to grab his shovel, it would be his best chance at a weapon. He got it and ran to try to protect the only family he had left. He was too late, an orc standing next to his mother trusted a jagged sword through her heart, ending her life. Yurgon was breathless, he couldn't believe this was actually happening to him. Matao had run to his mother, not knowing that she was beyond help. Yurgon ran to grab his brother and screamed for him to come back. The orc took advantage of Matao's mistake and swung his sword at his neck. Yurgon fell to his knees as his brother's head rolled to the floor. Yurgon bent over and threw up, he was in such shock. The orc came for him next, slowly walking over to Yurgon, he knew that it was over for the young man, so he was savoring the moment. Yurgon got up and backed up into something hard. He turned around and saw that it was the half cut tree with his father's axe sticking out of it. Yurgon tried to pull the axe out as hard as he could, it budged slightly. He pulled harder this time, knowing that the orc would be on him in a moment, it was almost out. The orc stood in front of Yurgon and swung his sword for the blow that would have killed Yurgon. But Yurgon pulled one last time and with the momentum from his pull, the axe came out and sliced the orc in the stomach, cutting all internal organs. The orc froze looked at the fatal cut in his gut and fell over. Yurgon stood over him, then looked at himself, he was drenched in the orcs blood. He backed away from the body, he felt ashamed, but that felling left him after he remembered that this orc had killed his family, and he felt satisfied. He grabbed his father's axe, which he had dropped, and made a choice. Yurgon did not want to go back to his home, the memories would kill him, so he decided to go on his own.  His father had thought him how to survive in the wild, and he would use that knowledge to make a living.

       For the next 8 years Yurgon lived on his own, only staying in one area for a few months at a time. Yurgon was avoiding going into a city and starting a life that most humans lived. He did not know any other life other then his current one. But Yurgon knew he had to, so he set off to Arethor to start a new life, one he hoped to live peacefully in.

[b]1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b]

Answer:

I walk up behind the figure as quietly as I can, not wanting to alert him of my presence. I am now within touching distance of him. I stand up and as hard as i can, tackle him to the ground.

"Guards!" I yell as I am struggling to hold him to the ground. The guards look in my direction when they hear me and start running to us.

"Get off me you filthy worm!" says the unknown figure as he tries to push me off of him.

"Guards! Help! Contain this man!" I keep yelling. The man manages to free his arm and elbows me in the jaw. I fall back, dazed for a moment, then get back onto my feet. This was all the time to man needed, he pulls a dagger out and starts lashing out at me. I'm backing up more and more as he keeps attacking. Two of the guards catch up to the man and surround him.

"Stop! You cannot beat us, throw down your weapons and come with us peacefully, if you don't then we will be forced to retaliate." says the guard is charge. The man looks at him and smiles.

"I never expected to come out of this alive!" the man says with a wicked grin, then he throws his dagger straight at the guard, surprising him, and it lands in his heart and he falls to the ground. I pick up the guard's sword and swing at the man, he dodges it. He pulls out a short-sword from and holds it tightly. I swing at the man again but he uses the flat of his blade to deflect it. The other guard rams into the man, knocking his sword from him. The man pushes him off and goes to grab his sword, I run over and kick the sword away. He swings his leg at mine, making me fall to the ground, the man is standing over me, he has retrieved his sword and is going to finish me off. An arrow suddenly flies from behind me and hits the man between the eyes. He falls on top of me, and i push him off. I turn around and see the other guard hold his bow.

"Thank you." I tell the guard.

"And thank you, for warning us and holding him down until we could come. Who knows what he planned to do here." He replies. "You've done a service to the capital, we won't forget that."
I walk back to the Inn I'm staying at, wondering waht the man was doing there, and what i have prevented.

[b]2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]

Answer: I sneak up as best as I can upon the two bandits. They are arguing about what to do with the old man. 

"Let's just kill the old sack and be done with him" says one of the bandits

"Fine, but I want his amulet, it looks like its worth a coin or two" says the other bandit.

As I get closer to them, my foot cracks a twig, the sound alerts the bandits and they turn around. I charge at the closer of the two with my sword in hand, not caring for myself anymore, just wanting to save the old man. I swing the sword at the man and it puts a deep cut in his arm, rendering it useless. The second bandit comes at me with rage, I can see I've angered him greatly. He swings his sword but only manages to lightly slice the side of my face. I kick him away and focus my attention to the injured bandit, he is now using his weak arm. He swings blindly and misses me, it is clear he doesn't have the strength to go on, I thrust my sword into his heart, finishing him in seconds. Something hard hits my head and I fall to the ground. I look up and see the other bandit.

"You'll pay for his death" he says as he points his sword at is dead companion.

He brings his sword up to end me, and stops, and looks down at the sword sticking out of his chest. He falls over, behind him is the old man that was being threatened. He helps me back up and shakes my hand.

"Thank you young man, I owe you my life" says the old man.

"I couldn't let those men kill you, it wasn't right" I reply.

"But you could have, you didn't have to save me, and for that I thank you." He says graciously. "Come inside and I'll patch up those wounds for you, it's the least I can do."

"Thank you" I say.

 

[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]

Answer: (Not positive what the currency is for the server)

I walk up to the merchants area, looking at all of his goods.

"How much for that fine looking axe?" I ask him.

"75 coins" the merchant replies looking at me like he knows I can't pay for it.

"I don't have the much with me sir." I say.

"If you can't cough up the coins to buy anything then get out of here, your wasting my time." He says, seeming annoyed.

"I'm a woodcutter, how much lumber wouldn't take to repay you for the axe?" I say thinking of an idea.

"Look, I don't want wood I want coins, and if you can't pay up then leave." He argues.

"What if I were to give you enough wood to buy the axe, plus 50% more, would you still not want it?" I say, knowing that he won't turn this down. "You could get many more goods to stock your store with."

"Make it 75% more wood, and I want it brought in daily, otherwise the axe is mine." He replies thinking he won.

"Deal." I say as he hands over the axe, already I knew this was the perfect one for me. "I'll be back here tomorrow with wood to pay."

"You better." He yells as I'm walking away.

Finally, I found a way to make a living.

• Family killed by Orcs was an overused, cliche backstory which is no longer allowed on LoTC, unfortunately. You'll have to think of something else, or be a good child and let your parents be alive. It opens up opportunity for someone to play your parents later on and re-connection.
• In the second ORQ, one doesn't simply lose the strength to go on after a minute of fighting. Even if he had a slice deep in his arm, it takes about six minutes to bleed out, given this time he'd still have the strength to fight back for a good few minutes.
• Besides these, if you want an application reviewed faster, fix the BBCode (format), and have the colors of the questions be different from the answers, or even spaced out. I personally jump at any app like this, just so that I don't get a headache reading the mismatched colors.

Remember to wait 24 hours before reapplying, and message me if you have any questions.
