Definitions

 

Role-playing: Taking the role of a desired character, which is preferably created by you. Then, you act out the actions, emotions and all the other things they would do. Basically, living a life of another being.

Meta-gaming: Is basically using information your character could not possibly posess. The metagamer, or their ally usually benefits from this. For example picking up coordinates from the OOC chat and going there in RP, to RP, or finding a person by using their in-game nametag.

Power-emoting: Is when you force an action to another player. The opposite of "attempting" in roleplay. This doesn't necessarily mean being simply overpowered; but for example stabbing another player without giving them a chance to dodge the attack, or anything else. In a nutshell; not attempting  an action, but forcing it instead.

Full Name: Draen Aris

Current Age: 19

Sub-race: Southeron

Past: Draen was born to a fairly poor family living on a small farm outside of any known cities, inside the lands of Salvus. His childhood was very peaceful, despite the occasional fighting with his brother, Kren, with whom he spent the most of his younger days playing with in the nearby woods. In his childhood, he was taught how to speak, read, and farm, since they were what the family had been doing for decades. Both boys of the family, Draen and Kren, received a rather free education when it came to doing things that were morally questionable, but the father who was a farmer and the head of the Aris family wanted the boys to bring honor to the family, so he often had them train physically. The mother of the boys on the other hand, would just mostly do household chores, and provide food for them. In the evenings, however, Kren would often lead Draen to the nearby city, where he would show him his skills in climbing around, and jumping from rooftop to rooftop; which lead to Draen doing the same as his brother, as they were innate rivals. They slowly became more and more agile; It was an easy, and lucky childhood, as no negative events really happened.

 

At the age of twelve or so, Kren got involved in some shady business, he was recruited and threatened and by some young men to steal and do other things for them.. In exchange for some other things. Kren's sense of what is morally wrong or right became more and more twisted by degree every day; Draen however didn't notice the changes of his brother, nor did the parents. One unfortunate day, Kren had managed to kill a man and steal all his belongings from the dead body, however, what Kren didn't know, is that Draen had seen the whole incident, he couldn't believe his eyes. The brother he thought he knew, was apparently a small-time criminal. Later that day Kren had brought the Minas he had got from the man he had killed earlier home, and their father was very proud; Draen kept his mouth shut, it wasn't his problem afterall. The family spent the money buying some new cloth, planks, and other necessities during the day. That very evening.. something unexpected happened, it wasn't a real surprise though.. It appeared that someone else had also seen Kren's villainous acts and reported it to the local watch. Kren wasn't a new acquaintance to the guards, and they knew where the family lived. The family was eating a great feast, thanks to Kren, the parents being completely oblivious of Kren's actions. An ominous knock could be heard from the wooden door of the house; the guards were there. The guards explained the situation, as Draen still kept his mouth shut. The father's face was emotionless, he was disappointed in his son, but he also knew that there was no money left. Kren claimed that he hadn't done it: "I didn't do it!" he said, "If you don't believe me, ask Draen!" he would've continued. Draen looked at Kren in disbelief, tempted to tell the truth, and just as tempted to lie.. but before he was even able to mutter a single word out of his mouth, the guards started dragging Kren away. "The minas.. there's none left." Draen muttered at the closest guard, but the guard would do nothing but grin at him. That night Kren was taken away and after that, Draen never saw his brother again; he could only guess what had happened.

 

For a week, he missed his brother, but after thinking about the incident rationally he simply continued his usual life, such as training and climbing.

He knew it was inevitable, what had happened to his brother that is; Draen understood the spiral of consequences that occurs in the world continuously, a bit like the food-chain.

At the age of seventeen Draen wanted to set out to the world, he wanted to see some other lands he had only heard rumours of, besides he wanted to see beautiful women, landscapes and find out whether his brother was really consumed by the consequences. Draen left his home without a farewell in the shadows of the night; it  was time to man up. He started walking to other cities within the region and meeting other people, and honing his skills by sometimes challenging people to brawls. He wanted to know his limits, and what it means to be truly strong. Almost a year passed, and Draen kept hearing rumours of an interesting city called Kingston; it was where he wanted to travel next.. and so began the story of Draen Aris.

 

 

Ambitions for the Future: He wants that the name Aris is written down in history. He also wishes to find out whether his brother died, and to find his true limits.

Personality: Draen has fairly low self-esteem, and he would probably be easily pressured to do things he wouldn't want to do; He's mentally rather unstable. He isn't too shy, but he'd rather keep things to himself, than publicly announcing it to everyone.  He tries to avoid getting into meaningless fights, and taking risks; he is very calm and collected. He's curious and social with other people, but when it comes to potentially risking his life, he'd rather not get involved in their business.

Skills: He's quite agile and crafty, and knows how to handle women. He knows basic swordfighting, but cannot really handle a longsword or a greatsword; if he were to carry one of those, it would be for the looks only.

Appearance:  His skin is fairly tanned / brown. Draen has dark brown hair and a bit saturated-green eyes. He is about 5,9 ft / 180 cm tall, and has a somewhat athletic build gained from training and wandering around the land. He appears to have no visible scars on his face, or any kind of warpaint or tattoos; maybe there are some, but they aren't usually visible, atleast. He wears a simple coat that doesn't look too new as the color has shaded a bit, and brown pants with his dark brown shoes on his feet.

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:

 

Draen would notice the dark-clothed figure making his way towards the palace in the corner of his eye as he was walking towards the local inn he had stayed at..

He would look at them for a while, and think to himself; "I am tied to the emperor in no way. There'll surely be some problems if I were to meddle in someone else's business.." Draen would smirk slightly, and keep walking as if expecting for someone else to do something.

 

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:

 

Draen would look at the ongoing event for a while, to see whether the bandits had noticed him or not.

The bandits appear to be oblivious of Draen's presence, and continue harassing the old man. Draen wouldn't say a word, he'd just quietly to walk off backwards, prepared to run if he was to accidentally step on a branch for example; thinking "This ain't nothin' (Isn't something*) I can handle.. besides, I don't even know da ol' man." as he would attempt to back off.

 

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).

 

Answer:

 

Draen would nod at the man as a greeting. "G'day, I sell a bit of this and that, everything you're looking for, I guarantee..!" The man says, as he stands behind the stall filled with basic goods, junk, some food, and next to the stall there even appears to be a barrel with some cheap looking weaponry. 

"Mhm.. 's dat right? Then.. do ya happen to have a map of da city? Surely ya do right.. How much is it?" Draen says with a slight smirk on his on his face. "Oh.. I do have a map, but I haven't set any prices yet, this is a fairly new stall you see." The man says.. "How about twelve Minas? Quite the price, yes, quite the price. This is a quality map you see, even signed by the adventurer-cartographer Revin Lapriel!"  "Oh.. really now? Never 'eard (heard) of him.. besides I don't even have dat much. How about two minas? " Draen says. "No no no.. Nine minas is as low as I go." The man says with a greedy smirk on his face. "Then I'll pass" Draen says, and goes to walk forth towards the direction he was going. The man selling the goods doesn't bother trying to force it on him, and lets him go off peacefully.
