Definitions

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

 

Role-playing: Role-playing is act of playing a character and pretending
to be them instead of you. This is accomplished by acting, reacting, talking
and, thinking as if you are your character.  

Meta-gaming: Meta-gamming is the use of out of character information in
your character, thus giving the character an advantage over others. An example
would be that Player1 sees a Player2’s nameplate through the wall, Player1 then
begins to role-play as if his character also knows that Player2 is there.

Power-emoting: Power-emoting is using emotes that are either over
powered or give another character no chance to react. An example would be ‘Character
1 stabs Character 2, killing him.’

Full Name: Devon Hunter Overland

Current Age: 24

Sub-race (if any): Northerner

Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Devon was born on the 11th of the seed of The Amber Cold in the city
of Dresden, Hanseti where his parents were lumberjacks. His parents moved to the
fields of Solace when he was two years old due to his parents wanting to learn
to farm in a milder climate than Hanseti. His parents were Devon Overland Senior
and Ruby Overland. He had a brother and two sisters, they were named Leif,
Huntress and, Dawn respectively. He was eldest of the four and Dawn was the
youngest, who was named after the once Queen of Salvus.
Devon helped as much as he could on the farm. Nonetheless he never was
interested in it and decided to go and craft items out of wood to make up for
his part of the family income. Much of his early life was spent staying around
that farm

        One year during the seed of
The Great Harvest, a new family moved in nearby to work on the same fields as his
family did. They were a family of Elves, who no matter what Devon asked they
wouldn’t say where they came from. There were 3 members of their family, the
father was named Averir, the mother was named Iheiu and, the son was named
Sirame. Devon became good friends with Sirame as he also preferred to do other
things besides farming where possible.

        Sirame introduced him to
sport of archery, which then Devon started to learn how to fletch arrows so he
and Sirame could have competitions against each other. Much to Devon’s dismay
Sirame almost always won. Devon never used his bow to kill many animals as
Sirame didn’t like to, but some days he would go out into the plains outside of
Solace with his brother, Leif to hunt for the local fauna. He made a good
amount of Minas by doing hunting and he saved up to buy a small dagger to skin
and collect meat from the animals which he killed.

        Sometimes Sirame and Devon
would run out into the plains and wheat fields that surrounded Solace. On a
couple of occasions they would stay out for days and forage for food in wherever
they could see something that was edible. They never strayed very far and within
a few hours of looking, their parents would drag them both back to their homes.

        As Devon was getting older

he continued to do little heavy work or farming. He still liked to craft things
out of wood and made several wooden swords for his poor attempts to be good
with a sword. Sirame and he continued to do archery competitions and both were
now pretty even matches for each other. Even Devon’s brother Leif would sometimes
join in their competitions.  

         A few years later both Devon’s and Sirame’s
families had moved to Dresden, Hanseti to try and farm in the hard, rocky soil there.
Devon began to work as a lumberjack while in Hanseti while Sirame continued to
help with farming which both families were still doing. Devon wasn’t a good
lumberjack as he often misaimed the axe and hit a different part of the tree. The
snow was cold, the wind was cold and, the water was cold. Devon wished he could
stay outside and practice archery whenever he felt like it but now, he had to
wear thick clothes and he couldn’t do it at night when it got very, very cold.
Devon continued to hack away at trees and tried to build his weakness so he
could use a sword or an axe. Sirame stopped doing archery competitions with
Devon, as he now did old jobs around the area for most of the day and sometimes
late into the night.

        Then the time came when all
the nations of Asulon travelled to Elysium and later, Kalos. Devon, nearly in
his 16th year, settled on Elysium with his family and Sirame’s family. He was
nearly old enough to find his own way in the world and he wanted to leave his
family’s house.

         Devon and Sirame started to
travel from town to town finding work and returning to their homes every week
or so. There so many chickens everywhere, sometimes even Devon tripped into the
flocks. These massive flocks of chickens also provided the pair with Minas as
Devon would often shoot many arrows into the flocks trying to score a few of
them.

             In Devon’s 17th year he
moved on to Kalos along with Sirame. Both of them did odd jobs around the
settlements there. They spent many a year doing just that. Until the day a land
was discovered.

        Everyone
was going onto the boats towards the new land. Sirame decided to head back to
Elysium to be with his family. Devon, On the other hand decided to stay in
Kalos and leave from there. He wasn’t too happy about having to move from place
to place for the second time and hoped he could make his way in the new land.     

        Ambitions for the Future: Devon wants to learn how to fight properly as he very little
experience with swords. He also wants to see Sirame and his family again and hopes
he will be able to find them in Anthos.  

Personality: Devon is a kind and self-sacrificing person to his friends regardless
of their race, he tries to help them if he can. Otherwise he is shy when
meeting new people, unless they have things in common. He also attempts to
avoid fights where possible. Due to Sirame's influence on him, he often greets
people with the word ‘Hail.’

Skills: Devon is an adept user of the bow. He can also craft things out of wood
with relative ease. However, he is not good with melee weapons or heavy labour
such as mining. He can also read quite well, but does not often write as he is
a novice at it.

Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):Devon is quite slender with a height of about 5’10
feet. Due to him not done very much heavy work in his life, he has little
strength. His hair is rather dark for a Northerner, leading many to believe
that he has a small quantity of Southeron blood in him. He often wears a black
shirt and some old, grey, rugged trousers which he has had for many years.

Any other details you wish to share about your character: Devon often carries around his small dagger that
he bought in Solace as he uses it to carve wood and hunt.  

 

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. 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: Devon stands there for a second
and walks up to a guard nearby and after managing to gather confidence to speak
he says “Hail, There’s a strange looking man going up to the palace, I’m not
sure if he is up to good.”

        The guard investigates the
area and turns back at Devon and says in a voice with a slightly angry tone “What
man? Are you trying to trick me?”

        Devon turns around and
looks for the man again. He turns back, failing to see him anywhere. He then
goes on to say “I must be seeing things, sorry for wasting your time’ and
continues on towards the gate.

        Devon walks towards the
palace to go and see if he was hiding in the area surrounding it. He looks
around, trying to find him and doesn’t see the elusive man. He goes on to
mutter to himself “I must be seeing things.”

        Just after muttering to
himself he hears the groan of a guard and he runs back. He sees the man who
just took out a guard in a poorly lit area. Devon shouts “GUARDS!” The man
notices him and tries to run off as the guards get to scene.

        Devon, now standing with
the same guard as before says “I guess I’m not seeing things then” and walks
off to the gate, having a new story to tell in the many shops in Kingston.    

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: Devon tries to sneak up on the
people by carefully placing each foot slowly on the ground. He walks over to a
nearby log and listens intently what they saying.

        “Give us your money, you
old man.”

        “N- No… Just leave me in
peace.”

        “You have one more chance,
now bring us it!”

        Devon, hearing all this
talk decides to walk away carefully, hoping to not get involved. The next
moment Devon finds himself face first in the ground and his new longsword
hitting a rock after he tripped on a exposed root. He pulls himself back up and
looks back at the cabin. Now the bandits are staring at him and their faces
look unimpressed.

        “Great…” Devon thinks to
himself, unsure of what to do.

        “Come here you” says one of
the bandits as they walk towards Devon, with their weapons drawn.

        Devon attempts to lift
himself up and run as fast as he can, it was too late the bandits were already
quite close. He knew he was going to have to fight.

        Devon picks up his
longsword and holds it to his left side, preparing to execute some sort of
attack. The first bandit came with his iron broadsword. Devon attempts to swing
his sword as hard as he could to try and hit the bandit. The sword swings right
past the bandit and hits a part of the bandit’s left wrist. Devon attempts to
swing his sword up and over his head to strike the bandit’s head.

        Devon now swinging the
sword over his head decides to let go of it and try to run away. The sword hits
one of bandit’s shoulders lightly and Devon sees his chance to escape. He
doesn’t look back as he runs back onto the road and as far away from the
clearing as possible.

          

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: “Hail there, what do you have
for sale?” Devon spoke responding the Dwarf’s words.  

        “I have many goods for
sale, which I want to get rid of” The dwarf replied “yer can haggle or pick a
price if ye want.” 

         Devon was interested in the Dwarf’s stock and
he looks for something to buy. He sees some arrows but, not ordinary arrows. He
then inquires “What about those arrows? They look like they are well crafted.”

         “Ther’ iron arrows used in war, quite strong
and reusable. I have had them since I lived in the Kingdom of Urguan” The Dwarf
answered.

        “Ok, how much for them?”
Devon responded.

        “60 Minas for 10” The Dwarf
replied.

        “How about 45?”

        “55”

        “48?”

        “50”

        “What about 49 Minas?”  

        The Dwarf pauses for a
moment and begins to speak “It’s a deal then,” now going over to grab the
arrows “I guess a single Mina isn’t much difference.

        Devon puts his hand is his
pocket to retrieve the Minas and hands them over to the Dwarf while the ten
arrows were passed in the opposing direction. Devon farewelled the Dwarf with a
wave and begun his trek back to his home city of Kingston.
