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

Role-playing: Taking on a role and playing a game using that role.
Meta-gaming: Using your knowledge from the outside world to influence your decisions in the game world. For example: Let's say Elves are "allergic" to birch leaves, and you know this from reading the forums. So you place some birch leaves near you so they won't attack you.
Power-emoting: Abusing emotes in a way that doesn't allow the other player(s) to react. For example: *John pickpockets Lord North* would be power-emoting, but *John attempts to pickpocket Lord North* is not.

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

Full Name: Adla Bramannen
Current Age: Prir seasons (3 seasons / 21 years)
Sub-race (if any): Cave Dwarf
Clan (if any):
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Adla was born to Stor and Gladje Bramannen in the city of Karik. He had no brothers, as his father, Stor, died in a mining accident when he was less than a season old. His mother later remarried a dwarf by the name of Vanlig, who has 4 sons.
As he lived with his step-father he was constantly outshining his step-brothers. Adla's step-father began to favor Adla over his own children, and this caused a great rivalry between Adla and his step-brothers. Then, one day Adla wrote an absolutely beautiful poem, and both his mother and step-father praised him for it. His cousins grew even more jealous, and, one day, while Adla was mining, his cousins snuck into his room and ripped his poem to pieces. Adla was enraged, and murdered one of his step-brothers. After this event, Adla never spoke with his step-brothers or parents and eventually moved out when he was just over tveir seasons old (2 seasons/14 years). While traveling to his new home, he stopped at Elysium and Kalos for more supplies. A terrible storm then came, and he had to continue going on his way, Eventually, he ended up in the new land of Anthos, where he is now currently living with the other races.
Personality: Adla is a kind and honest dwarf, and above all wishes to maintain his honor. Adla believes that, without honor, a dwarf is as good as Ibleeses.
Skills: Adla has always had a passion for literature. He admires works such as The Fall of Kal'Urgan. Along with this passion, Adla is also a very skilled miner. He once found diamond within an hour of mining.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Adla is a muscular and red-bearded dwarf. http://i.imgur.com/MGrejq4.png

1. Whilst mining deep in the undergrounds of Kalos you see a large deposit of diamond ore at the other side of the ravine you are on. There is a very thin rock bridge that looks precariously unstable, but it is the only way to access the deposit. What do you do?

Answer:
Adla: Diamonds!
*Adla quickly covers his mouth*
(Adla thinks to himself: I hope nobody heard that..)
*Adla begins heading to the surface*
*Adla arrives at the mineshaft entrance*
*Adla walks to his house*
*Adla opens his chest & pulls out a diamond pickaxe*
*Adla leaves his house*
*Adla arrives at the mineshaft entrance*
*Adla retraces his steps, and sees the diamond patch again*
*Adla walks carefully across the bridge, and hopes it doesn't collapse*
*Adla arrives on the other side of the ravine, having gotten lucky*
*Adla mines the diamonds greedily*
Adla: Huzzah!
*Adla crosses the bridge again, and prays to the creator he doesn't fall*
Adla: Phew!
*Adla returns to the surface*
*Adla goes to his house, and stores the diamonds*
(Adla thinks to himself: That was a good day's work, I think I will continue with my poem now..)


2. You are sitting in the local tavern with a large pint of ale in your hand - sitting nearby you is a rather young dwarf whom is clearly going through a bad time. He is crying to himself, and clutching a small wooden hammer toy. In the other corner of the room two shady dwarves are sitting whispering to each other and pointing occasionally at the dwarf. They stand up, one with a small dagger in his hand and begin to approach the young dwarf. What do you do?

Answer:
Adla: What's wrong, young dwarf?
Young dwarf (YD): My brother is trying to kill me..
(Adla remembers how he murdered his brothers, and grows mournful)
Adla: Are those your brothers, over there?
*Adla poins to the two shady dwarves*
YD: J-just the bigger one
Adla: The one with a dagger?
YD: Y-yes..
*Young dwarf's facial expression changes from one of sadness to terror as he realizes his brother is approaching him*
*Adla approaches the two shady dwarves*
Adla: 'ey, what are you lads up to?
YD's Brother (YDB): That's none of your business, you galtair.
Adla: Excuse me?
*The other shady dwarf shoves Adla to the ground*
*YDB charges YD, yelling "Basaich jiarg-noid geddyn baase!"
Adla: Stop!
*YDB turns his head, and then runs into a support beam*
YDB: What now, galtair?
Adla: Don't kill him, I know you want to but don't. You'll hate yourself the rest of your life!
YDB: Oh will I? Well, there's only one way to find out.
*Adla stands up, and tries to pry the dagger from YDB's hand*
*Alda throws the dagger into the floor boards*
*Adla attempts to grab YDB by his collar, in order to throw him out the door onto the streets*
Adla: Nobody kills anyone on my watch, you moron!
*Shady Dwarf runs off to help YDB get up and leave*
*Adla heads over to YD*
Adla: Are you okay, young dwarf?
YD: I suppose so.. I think I'll just go home now
Adla: Alright then. Stay safe, young dwarf. Let me know if your brother tries to hurt you again.
YD: Thanks, but I think I'll be fine for now.

3. Whilst wandering through the Dwarven Caverns you hear a voice call out to you; “Oi, ye’! C’mere n’ get ye’rself an ale!”. You spin on your heel and see a heavily bearded bar-owner looking at you -a huge grin on his face, and a mug of ale in his hand. How do you react?

Answer:
*Adla runs to the bar-owner*
Bar-owner: Hello there, would you like an ale?
Adla: Oh yes, I would love an ale! How much?
Bar-owner: 5 minas, please.
Adla: Alright
*Adla fumbles through pocket*
Adla: Here you go, 5 minas!
*Adla hands over 5 minas*
Bar-owner: Ah, thank you! Have a good day, sir!
Adla: You too, and thanks for the ale!
*Adla takes a gulp of the ale*
