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

Role-playing: Acting as another to live in a world that is not your own.
Meta-gaming: Meta-gaming is when you take information about something out of character, or O.O.C., and use that information in character. Say I were to learn something about another person's character on a forum post, i could use that information in character to either form a relationship or gain an enemy.
Power-emoting: Power-emoting is when you are in a role-play situation and you post an action without waiting for the other participant to respond. If I were in a fighting situation for example, I would post something like this: -She swung her blade down at an angle, slicing her opponent from shoulder to hip creating a fatal gash across his abdomen- This would be meta-gaming because of the finality of the action, it leaves the situation successful in my favor because of the "fatality" of the other character and leaves them unable to react to the action.

In-Character Information:
Complete the following biography on your character:

Full Name: Kahlan Maehr-Tayna
Current Age: 93 human years.
Sub-race (if any): High Elf

Past /History(include childhood, major-events, etc.2+ paragraphs long):

Born into the society of the High Elves, Kahlan's family was not that of the high society, choosing to live within the deeper forests away from society. Some of their kin thought her parents strange because of their compassion towards other as High Elves are more seen as cold, but her parents paid no heed, telling Kahlan that it was their travels that made them tolerant of other races. Kahlan's mother was a dressmaker, renowned for her fine detail in the closeness to nature in her gowns. Her father was an Okarir'Acaln, or a trader among those of the other races, and although he wasn't as esteemed as the Treasurer on the Silver Council, Kahlan knew that he deserved the title in her heart. He brought exotic goods and even some of his wives dresses from many lands and then pass them on to others. The family of three lived comfortably and Kahlan's parents spent every minute of their spare time educating their daughter about the world and the different races that were roaming the lands.

 

Kahlan's parents made sure that she was informed on the world and society she was growing up in, and that includes the creed of the High Elves: Maehr'sae Hiylun'ehya. This means Progress and Health and is used as a blessing among the Elves. Kahlan was told it was a respectful way to greet one of her kind, and although it is used among the High Elves she always saw her parents saying it to everyone and anyone, even those outside of the High Elves.

When Kahlan turned 20 (human years)she had gone out to get spider silk for her mothers dresses to make, her parents were preparing for dinner. Kahlan came to discover her house torn apart and her parents missing. All that was left were some dress materials, her bow and arrows, and some of her books on the different races. For a time Kahlan tried searching for her parents, going to the Elven towns and even so far as the Human territories to ask anyone who knew them if they had been seen, and in those 73 years nothing had come to pass. Starting anew when she had turned 80 she decided to carry on her education about the lands and those that dwell in it, striving to become an ambassador of the elves and a master of the bow.

Ambitions for the Future: To become an international trader like her father and a master of the bow.

Personality:
Quiet, enjoys educating herself about others and the world around her, can be a fighter if provoked with a strong sense of justice.

Skills: Staying hidden or being stealthy, skills with a bow at long range.

Appearance(this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):
Long brown hair and blue eyes with pale skin and small pointed ears, dark green clothing to blend in with the background on her travels, and gold fringe on her sleeve to keep the grandeur of the High Elves in her clothing.

This is my character skin, I'm sorry it's not an in-game screenshot, I couldn't get a good shot with her ears!

Any other details you wish to share about your character: She is always eager to learn and takes her unusually kind nature after her parents, this makes her stand out from other High Elves.

Open-Response-Questions

Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full.Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.

1.As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering.Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react?

Answer:

Kahlan came around the corner of an old oak and cleared her throat as she looked upon the group of elves. The three turned and looked at her, surprised. "Can we help you?" A tall one at the front crossed his arms with a disdained look. "As a matter of fact you can, what're you doing with this child? Haven't you got better things to do than belittle one of our kin?" Kahlan's patience was wavering and she let it show on her face. The tall elf looked at the others and laughed. "What's it matter to you anyway? You're just the same as us." Kahlan took a step forward putting a hand on her bow. "Do not compare me to intolerant oak worms like yourself, all Mali are children of the wood and to single this child out is a disgrace to Malin and his legacy, you should be ashamed of yourself." The trio all glowered at her for a moment, then looked off in different directions scratching their heads. One of the elves prodded the tall one on the shoulder. "Let's just get out of here ilir she's right." "Fine," The tall elf snapped, turning again to glare at Kahlan. "It's people like you that keep us from putting THEM in their place." He had motioned to the Wood Elf then promptly stalked off with his friends. Kahlan frowned as they walked off then turned to the Wood Elf child with a small smile. "I apologize for my kin, most of us do not know where our own place is in this world, are you okay? Why are you here alone?" "My mother and I were gathering herbs for her books and she told me to stay here, I know she's going to be a while... Thank you for making them go away, they said mean things.." "You are very welcome, would you like me to keep you company until she comes back for you?"  When the child nodded she smiled and sat next to him in the sun, smiling and talking until his mother returned.

2.Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick.He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud.Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway.The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?

Answer: 

As soon as the man hit the ground, his items laying askew across the dirt, Kahlan ran over and grabbed his walking stick. "Let me help you, are you alright?" "Thank you young one, I am fine it just slipped from my grip that's all." He smiled and gratefully took his cane from her hands, then he frowned. "Those blasted coins get everywhere." Kahlan laughed and bent over picking up the half empty pouch and slipping the coins in one by one until holding the pouch out to the man. "I know how you feel, coins can be very messy." "Thank you again young one, very much, how can I repay you?" He had begun rummaging through the pouch she had just given him. Kahlan quickly put a hand on his with a smile. "I need no reward, I help for others benefit not my own." The old man smiled as her and put his pouch in his pocket. "You are a rare person young one, a rare person indeed." He patted her on the cheek and continued hobbling down the path.

3.Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares.He points out that his carriage sells just about everything,and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).

Answer:

Kahlan put a finger over her mouth and tapped it against her lips with a smile at his pricing. "Okay I'll shoot, I will go for 300 minas on the urn and throw in 250 more for the tome on Orc lore first edition."  The trader laughed and shoot his head. "Ma'am I am willing to take 300 but the tome is a little more valuable that 250 minas."  "Alright, I'll raise the tome up to 450 and that is as far as I'll go." Kahlan eyed the tome longingly thinking what she could learn about the Orc's and their stories of old. The trader sat and thought for a long moment before he stuck his hand out and shook her hand. "750 minas for the lot it is, where did you learn to haggle so well?" Kahlan got a bitter sweet look on her face as she smiled. "My father was an international trader, he brought goods between the different races, he was very good at what he did.. Taught me everything I know." "Smart man he is." The trader pointed out as he wrapped her things in a cloth. "Yeah." Kahlan smiled again a little sadly. "He was."

Under Review

 

 

A fine application! I'll see you in the elven forests!

 

But, there were a few things I'd like to point out:

 

The first is that if you plan on living as a liberal and pure high elf, you may want to change the hair colour of your character, as other high elves may think of your character as less if you decide to live with them. If you wanted to live with the wood elves/dark elves or you were going for this, then you're fine, but I thought I'd let you know.

 

Another thing is that with your last name, you would but an apostrophe in between the two words, not a hyphen. So, it would be Maehr'Tayna.

 

Please wait patiently for a moderator to implement (whitelist) you to the server.
