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

Role-playing: Role playing is when you take on the role of another person or monster. Every aspect of their actions is portrayed while in character. Which in turn affects the world around the character and others characters as well.

Meta-gaming:Alright meta-gaming in my own words is when someone that is in character acts on something or goes somewhere with no knowledge of its existence. A good example would be if you knew someone with a house very far out in the wilderness and they give you the coords for the location. You could simply head in that direction and be there rather then having your friend show you the way by traveling together.

Power-emoting: Power-emoting stands for when a character type an emote on another character that would otherwise show them as winning in a sense. You have to let the other character answer back to the action in a sense and being realistic is also a big thing in role playing.

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

Full Name:Varlan Boran Gerofe [Human]
Current Age:19
Sub-race (if any):Northerner
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):

Varlan's life growing up was not an easy one. He lost both of his parents when he was at a young age. His father died while mining in the mountains west of Ager. He was mining deep below the surface and was killed by a sand fall. His mother was killed by a group of thieves when she wouldn't give them her minas while traveling.
Varlan was sent to a relative at the age of eight after his mother passed away.

 

    His Uncle Cron showed him the basics on how to survive out in the wilderness and how to spot out a good source of food. Handling livestock was also a chore he learned well since living off the land meant you had to use everything you collected. Varlan would often find himself traveling to Solace as he grew older.Talking to the townsfolk and gaining communication skills to help him reason with others better.

 

   The red coat Varlan bears was given to him as a gift from his uncle. A well put together coat with thick padding on the shoulders and ribs. His uncle never had alot of Mina's since they barley traveled to the cities to get basic materials that were not found in the wilderness.


Ambitions for the Future:
My characters ambitions are to head out into the world and explore the far reaches of Anthos. Though magic was only folk tales told to him while growing up. The idea of being able to wield power beyond any sword or axe was tempting and could aid in the battles against any foe. Varlan wishes to better himself with self defense while traveling so the idea of joining the forces of good to align against the threat of any attacks across the land. Political affairs across Anthos have always intrigued him too.

Personality: An observer in a sense. Rarely speaks his mind to others unless provoked or challenged. other then that he is strong-willed and confident in the choices he makes. Though his temper can run high if pressed enough and blind his judgement.

Skills: Some knowledge on raiseing and herding livestock was gained in the wilderness with Varlan's Uncle Cron. . General understanding of plant flora was gained from exposer at a young age.

Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): 5'10", standard skeletal build of a Northerner, Blonde hair, sky blue colored eyes, brown pants and a leather belt. A worn out red coat given to him by his uncle. The coat belonged to Varlans father.

 -This is the picture of my character. Totally custom too I'll add.

Any other details you wish to share about your character: Varlan has many ideas of what he wants to accomplish in the world of Anthos. The first thing he wishes to do is gain more knowledge of the worlds layout first. Venture from the wilderness. Many great things await in the world of Anthos and Varlan is tempted to leave his home and venture out alone into the world..

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:
Standing outside the Emperor's palace, over looking my inventory I caught the shady outline of what looked like a human making their way to the entrance of the great hall. Creeping my way behind him about twenty paces or so I followed him into the room. As he made it half way through the grand room I tripped over a small table while not watching my step as I inched forward. Suddenly as pottery hit the floor, shattering on impact. the cloaked outline of a man whipped around and made eye contact with me. "Undead! Undead are in the palace!" I yelled as he started to rush towards the Emperors chamber.

As I ran to catch up to him I entered the chamber to find four elite guards staring the unholy creature down. Though he had no weapon of any kind on him. He clearly did not make it this far by being unarmed. All of the sudden a humming noise filled the air, the guards looking around in disbelief of this noise suddenly realized what the undead planned on doing. "RAAHHHH!" the undeads arms fell to his sides as the chamber fell silent. The undead abomination looked down at his chest for a breif moment only to see a blade pierced through his ribcage. One of the guards outside the palace must have heard the commotion and responded. As the undead struggled to fill its ungodly lungs with air.

the guard yanked the blade out and swirled it through the air in an instant to meet with the undeads neck. the nonliving creatures body hit the floor with a thud. Looking around the room I noticed the Emperor is no where to be seen. "Aye, he is not here my brother." one of the guards replied to my confused look. "Good to know he was in no real danger." I stated as I walked out of the chamber to the entrance as the guards tended with the mess.


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:
While out scouting for any source of food I could get, I noticed a small cobble-built building with three people standing outside. Some yelling could be heard from where I was though it was not understandable from this distance. they continued to argue as I crept closer to the three men. Now I could see the two thugs were pressuring the elderly man to hand over his possessions or else they would burn his house down. Hearing this I decided to attempt to help him in some way. Looking around for anything that might aid me I seen a rock half the size of my hand and a large branch from a nearby tree laying in front of me. As I picked the rock up I noticed that one of the them now had the elderly man by his shirt and somehow got the iron blade from him.

I took aim at the man to the right and hurled it. the rock bounced off his helmet with a loud clang. As they both turned around to address the situation, I huddled down behind some bushes right before the clearing. the thug holding the old man barked "Get ova thar an check that noise ye numb skull!" As one of armed thief's approached where I was. He began to scan the area for movement. Closer and closer he got, almost to the tree he was now.

Walking over to the tree he took one more glance around before turning to his partner and saying "Thar be nothing ova here! Just crittas!" Soon as those words finished exiting his mouth I stood up with the branch that I had found. Rearing up and swinging everything I had into the hit, bringing the club down on his helmet. Tooonng! the man fell to the ground without a movement afterwards.

the other armored man threw the elderly man down to the ground as he swung around to see what had happened. Now standing about fifteen paces from each other I asked him "Why are you attempting to rob the old? Are you too much of a coward to rob the fit?" I stepped over the defeated theif that laid on the ground and began to approach the other villain. As the man stared at me for a second and it settled, suddenly the rage formed on his face as he began to yell " You think you know what we live through in dees lands! You nothing! We take all from all we kill!"

As he said that he began to charge at me. I braced myself and relaxed the muscles in my legs and arms. He got about three paces away when he lunged at me with a broad sword. Jumping off to the left of the blades direction cut through the air. Rolling up to my feet and focusing back on him. I looked at his eyes as he was not looking at me for that split second.

As I put it together in that instant I was hit from behind as the other armored thug regained consciousness and snuck up behind me while I was distracted.Blood trickled down my face as i turned around slowly to find a sword pointed at my throat. the thug standing there now laughing at me responded " So ya like to be playing tricks an' being sneaky aye?" Now the second thug was approaching me as well. Glancing at both thief's and thinking of something to respond with, I looked over at the elderly man who was now standing at the entrance of his house looking at the two men with burning eyes.

"No! I will not have this bloodshed any longer!" Though feeble looking and past his years of being a prime fighter, the man all the sudden lunged for something at the inside part of his doorway. He grabbed a case of some kind and yanked a golden blade from the sheath. Standing there now with the vorpal blade drawn towards the two men, both thugs began to laugh at him. "You gonna hurt us old man?" the one replied. "You too weak!" the other thug spat. the elderly man reacted with a quick smile then charged at the two armored thieves with unnatural speed. the thug to the left side was caught off guard as the blade buried into his chest. Standing there as he looked on in horror as the life faded in his eyes.

the blade almost unearthed itself from the thug as he tilted backwards and landed dead on his back. Now the last thug stood there enraged and spitting. He yelled "YOU WILL NOT KILL ME OLD MAN!! ME WILL CRUSH YOU INTO DUST!" As he began to swing relentlessly at the old man, he struck the golden blade a few times with beserker strength. When the third blow landed, the elderly man let out a shriek as his blade hit the ground and trickles of blood that followed. the thief had struck the old mans hand with his sword, slicing through his tendons and rendering his fighting hand useless.

As he was about to lay the last strike on on the worn out man, I took my blade and rushed him from behind. As I stepped forward to land a clean hit to his back he ducked down enough to evade my blow. Fumbling to catch myself from throwing all of my weight into my attack, I fell to the ground. Standing over me now and about to execute his attack, he said "So ye be coming to save ta day and you gonna end up being killed by ma blade!" Laughing, he got into position to launch his next strike. Twack! the loud sound of an arrow meeting its mark was heard. Looking at the man, i was stunned to see him start to hunch over and after a few seconds he fell to his knees.

An arrow was aligned right in the middle of his back. An elf stood about thirty paces out by some trees. "Hail!" He yelled over to us as I stood to my feet. I replied " Greeting stranger! I'm glad you acted out in the way you did!" the old man thanked us both and even gave us some food and supplies for saving his life. Though he would not say what they were after. the elf and I made sure that the elders hand was bandaged up good. Afterwards I parted ways and continued on my journey.


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:
Looking over the broad selection the merchant had across the table, something caught my eye. Looking at the hilt of a golden broad sword barely visible in part of a small pile of items in the corner. I asked him while removing it from the other trinkets. "What price do you have for this sword?"

Peering at the blade a slight smile appeared on his face. "That's no ordinary blade you hold my friend!" Looking at him I replied " Are you so sure of that?" Nodding at me he reached forward and removed it from my hands. "Yes, I'm sure, look here." He raised the blade up and flipped it around to show a stamp on the bottom of the hilt.

"This blade was enchanted by Dwarfs at some point in the past." As I took in what he said while looking over it for a moment, seeing the marvelous blade shining with magic sparked my interest even more in the arcane arts. I said to the man "So, what do you want for it?" He replied with a cold grin "You can have it for three hundred minas." Looking at him with a blank stare for a few seconds i answered back. " I'll give you two-hundred and eighty Minas instead." As I reached into my coat and pulled out a small bag.

the merchants eyes lite up as I poured the bag out onto the table. "You, my good sir have made a good deal today!" He sheathed the sword and handed it to me. As the salesman collected his payment I said to myself. "This guy doesn't have any clue what he just sold me." Smiling as I walked away.
