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

Role-playing:
To take on the life of a character and live out their actions as they would. Not sure how to give an example for this, but... Bob joins a server, a regular guy. He applies, however, as a noble and grand knight, even though he doesn't act that way in real life. On the server, he always acts as this knight,  helping those in need, et cetera.
Meta-gaming: To take knowledge from out of character, and then use it in character (usually to your benefit). For instance, you are walking in the woods, and suddenly a bandit appears. He demands you to give up your money. You are in a skype call, however, with friends, and you tell them to come to where you are. Your friends metagame, by randomly heading straight to the forest, even though they'd never do that in character, to save you. It ruins good RP, and breaks the immersion completely.
Power-emoting: Roleplaying without giving the other person a chance to respond, like instantly decapitating someone. In more detail, Bob, once a great knight, has fallen and become evil. Someone in the streets has a funny face, so Bob decides to kill him. He walks up to him, not even saying "Hi!", and goes: *Bob takes his sword and cuts the man's throat*

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

Full Name: Sebastian Zachary Theodore

Current Age: 21.
Sub-race (if any): Nope.
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Sebastian was born to a baker, who was the son of a baker who was the son of a baker. Naturally, he was expected to carry on the tradition. His father may not have been a royal baker, but he still had cooked, with palace bakers, for the emperor once before. He had always bragged about that, and his Class B citizenship he got immeadiately after. Probably no connection, but Sebastian's dad was always a bit of a romantic.

 

Sebastian was an only child, being the son of a baker, even a prosperous one. Plus, his father didn't want to split his inheritance between multiple children. However, his wife died in childbirth, leaving the new child under his father's complete control. Surprisingly, Sebastian's father, who was very emotional, got over his wife's death rather quickly. It only took him 3 years to remarry, which was an interesting ceremony to say the least. The new wife didn't actually have any children, she was quite young, but it took a long time for little Sebastian to trust this new, strange woman. Of course, as custom, the dowry was put down into writing, so that Sebastian's father could not contest it. Later though, unfortunately, he was not entirely in his right mind when he wrote up in the presence of his new wife's parents. He, after writing up the inventory of his children and that of his deceased wife, gave inheritance not to his wife's parents, nor even to his new wife, but her sister, a cruel and hard woman. It is hard to explain what was going through his mind at the time. Still, she only checked in ONCE in a while... But it's never pleasant.

 

Growing up, Sebastian was extremely excited about being a baker. After all, who wouldn't want to be surrounded by sweets and delicious food all day? However, he soon learned that you didn't really get to eat any of the food, and had to do boring stuff like haggle with customers. So, for a while, he lost interest. As a child, he was very well-mannered, which made him lots of friends... With girls. He tended to be shunned by the guys for his non-confrontational nature, though he learned to hide it by his teen years.

Speaking of his teen years, this was when Sebastian's father began to crack down on him. He forced Sebastian into the role of a baker as fast as he could. Life was rather boring up until this point, they being simple folk who only knew the general gist of the law. Sebastian never had an extensive education, he was exclusively trained to be a baker. Of course, he resented it at first, but he actually found that he enjoyed baking quite a bit. However, it was just baking.

You see, though Sebastian enjoyed the act of baking, he hated the business side of things. There were so many laws and regulations and restrictions and loopholes that he sometimes got dizzy just thinking about them. Half the time he didn't want to get up in the morning because he knew he'd be working the counter that day. Of course, it's not always that bad, most customers are the poor simply buying bread. Yet with the richer customers came more complications.

He had to make sure he didn't "pressure" or "coerce" them into a deal, give them a fair prince, and make sure they pay the full price up front, because with only paying part of the price brings a WHOLE new dimension to selling. And don't even get him started onto selling his baked goods to the slaves whose masters send them to buy things...

Finally, in his recent years, Sebastian has decided that he likes being a baker so much, and not dealing with people so much, that he's decided to be the best and he has set off for the Lenfarthing, where he heard Halflings had new, delicious, and interesting baking techniques that could make him better. And more secluded. Any money he finds each month he still sends back to his father, though he did leave with his blessing. His father was proud of Sebastian's advancement, and was happy of him trying to better himself, but also has made Sebastian swear and oath to come home and take over the bakery in case anything happens to him.

Though Sebastian is still looking for permanent housing in the Lenfarthing, he is confident that if he looks long and hard enough, he'll find it. Of course, that optimism won't last for long, so recently he has increasing his searching for a house fervently.

Ambitions for the Future: To become the greatest baker of all time, and to be world-famous.
Personality: Sebastian, as his name would suggest, is rather prissy by human standards. He does all he can to avoid conflict, which is why he fits in with Halflings a great deal. However, despite his avoiding conflict, his close friends know he has a lovable, but slightly dark sense of humor. The main thing separating him from his neighbors is his delusion that he will become the greatest cook in the lands. He really does enjoy baking all the item, he usually simply bakes to forget his troubles. Like his neighbors, he loves a good story, but when he tells them he often can go a bit far, even inserting himself into the stories.

Skills: He is an excellent baker, and not half bad with a frying pan when in a fight. Of course, that never happens.

Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Sebastian is a rather average-looking man, 6 foot 1 inches, not skinny, but also not quite fat yet. He has long black hair, which he tends to keep under his white hat, yet some still wildly creeps out and goes to mid-back. He wears a long-sleeved wooly light brown shirt, with a leather vest over it. He tucks the shirt in with a simple black belt. He wears pants the same shade of brown as his shirt, and wears leather boots.    

Any other details you wish to share about your character: Greatness comes from the strangest places...

Open-Response-Questions

____

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?

Answer: Sebastian, terrified of this strange man, nearly falls over when he spots him. The city people sure are strange... Suddenly, Sebastian has an epiphany. What if he actually was going to do something wrong? I mean, he might be innocent and not doing anything, but... When he notices that the man is going towards the palace, but that there are guards nearby, he freezes up but soon makes up his mind. Not very confidently, but still. He lets out a slight stutter, "G-gaurds..." Yet the guards haven't noticed him yet. Then, "Guards! There's a guy in a cloak!" Most of the guards laugh at this strange man, but one of them notices the figure, and runs after him.


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?

Answer: Sebastian heard the bandits from quite a way off. "Alright old man, we need a... Place to stay, see?" The old man shook his head and looked down. The second bandit cried out, "Do you know WHY we're hidin' in this forest oldie? You don't even want to know the things we've done to be out here! So I'd KINDLY suggest you move outta the way before," The bandit drew a second sword, "Someone gets hurt!" Sebastian felt even more disheartened at these words. The old man kept his wavering blade up, however. Then  Sebastian, trembling, takes a few steps to the bandits. Suddenly, they turn around, spotting Sebastian. They burst out laughing when they see how much his blade is trembling, and his paltry leather armor. They take a few steps towards Sebastian, in their heavy gear... Suddenly, Sebastian throws the sword at one of their feet in surrender. Someone, in a one in a million chance, the bandit actually trips on it! The other is too dumbfounded by the... Well, dumbness of his compatriot. In a heartbeat Sebastian runs, grabbing the feeble old man's hand as he goes. He hears the screams of the bandits behind him as he keeps running away from the bandits...


3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colorful 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).

Answer:  Sebastian peruses the cooking goods that the small man has. He's a bit underwhelmed, to be perfectly honest. There weren't many cooking goods, besides a couple of basic pots and pans. One of them, a seemingly normal traveling cooking pot, caught his eye. It seemed to be lighter than the others, when he picked it up. The shopkeeper's face spread into a huge grin, as Balthazar examined it. "Aaaah, I see you have a discerning eye! That right there is a true beauty of cookware." Sebastian looked curiously at him, "What is it? It seems so light." The man replied, "A pot  made of... The finest, purest... Mithril!"

".... What?" The man looked shocked, "You don't know what mithril is!? Why, the lightest, but strongest substance on this planet! That pot wouldn't smash if you hit it with your strongest sword!" Sebastian's eyes widened, "Really?" The man nodded sagely. "All for around 700 minas! Of course, you can negotiate as much as you want." Sebastian's mouth nearly dropped at that price-tag. He was about to exclaim that it was ridiculous, but... Well, he had just enough, and the pot was so light, and high-quality... He'll try to drive the price down a bit. "I'll take it, but for no more than 300 minas!" The merchant rubbed his hands together, "Come now, I have to make a living! 600 minas- Wait, I like you, and it's only a pot I suppose. 500 Minas. I'm sure you will enjoy the pot immensely!" Sebastian accepted this. After he had sold the pot to Sebastian, and Sebastian was walking away, he noticed that the merchant was packing up his stall... It wasn't until he dropped in on the road out of the city that Sebastian noticed the pot... Dented, on the ground. "GRRRAGH!"

After thinking this through greatly your application has been:

I didn't see many changes besides the change to Lenfarthing, so I was ready to deny you. However, your excellent bio and ORQs have reassured me. I think you'll fit in perfectly.
