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

Role-playing: To take the role of another person, character, creature. i.e Living being, and acting as if you are them and controlling them while also following the way they would act in real-life. Including speech/language, decision making, and personality. The name describes itself, playing a role.
Meta-gaming: To use information that your character has no way of getting. For example hearing of a secret dungeon from forums, or OOC chat and then suddenly travelling to said dungeon without your character having no realistic way of finding out such information.
Power-emoting: I believe this is similar to power-gaming. Where you force a situation to go your way everytime, for example: Always winning in fights by interrupting the other persons emotes and not letting them counter your actions. Like this: "*Swings their sword and hits, knocking the troll down in one hit" this shows they swing their sword which is acceptable, but then doesn't give the other person a chance to react (It hits and knocks the troll down) In other words, acting over-powered.

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

Full Name: Loegnir Nalleme

Current Age: 227
Sub-race (if any): Wood Elf
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Loegnir has no memory of his true parents, he was discovered resting under a tree at a young age by a female human. She was named Lilia, she raised Loegnir with her husband Garen. Garen his adopted father was a hunter and would sell the hides of beasts he killed to the elven markets in Asulon. They were not poor, nor rich and Loegnir would often follow his father into the woods and be taught how to both hunt and survive. Loegnir had a passion for survival and archery, by 19 years old he was selling his own hides to the markets.

 

At the age of 20, he left his adopted parents to go on his own adventures, he knew he could more than sell hides. He said his goodbyes and gave them half of his gold as a thank you for raising him. For years Loenir had trained his archery skills, selling animal hides for a living and began to learn how to craft leather items. Instead of selling the hides, he crafted them into magnificant leather armour, keeping a set for himself and selling the rest. Not only was Loegnir a good shot, but also a good merchant, he would travel miles just to reach the next city in his route, killing the odd beast on the way as both a source of entertainment and income.

 

Loegnir never managed to settle down, he was always out and about and never stayed around for too long. Yes, he made some money and trained his skills but had few friends and no family. Even at the age of 227, he still has no partner (Besides his loved and trusty bow!) Loegnir has always wanted to either go adventuring with some friends or settle down with a family, he has had quite a boring life in fact and believes that now it is time to change things up.

Ambitions for the Future: Either put his archery skills to the test and go on a true adventure, or settle down with a family and open his own stall/shop selling hides and leather armour.
Personality: Generally a friendly guy, can be quite aggressive when bargaining though. Loves nature and tries to cause a least pain as possible when hunting. Also kind and sticks to the law where possible.
Skills: Great archery ability, stealth skills and merchanting.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Quite a pale coloured skin for a wood elf. Dyed green hair covered by his hood. He is also quite short, yet average for a wood elf. He has dark purple eyes and a thin, slender figure. He wears a green hood and clothing to blend in with the forest envrionment, brown can also be seen on the front of his clothes.

Any other details you wish to share about your character: He loves climbing!

[b]Open-Response-Questions[/b]
[i]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.[/i]
____

[b]1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of older elves are mocking a small elven child. How do you react?[/b]

Answer: I approach the group carefully, looking to see if they have any weapons or objects that could be used to injure. If not, I walk over to them and pull down my hood. "Good evening, I suggest you all leave this elf alone and I shall give you some fine leather on the house!" They wearily accept the leather. "Apologize to this young elf, or I'll expect my leather back thank you." If they apologize, then all is well and I help the elf get home. If not, I take the leather back and leave avoiding any trouble.

[b]2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?[/b]

Answer: I take off my hood to show him I mean no harm and look around for any possible dangers. If all is clear, I bend down and pick up his coins, placing them back in the bag. I help the man up and hand him his walking stick before giving him back his bag of coins. "Would you like some help getting back to the nearest city?" If he needs help, I take him back to the city. If not, I walk off and search for some creatures to hunt.

[b]3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).

Answer: A huge smile comes accross my face as I see this carriage, I pull down my hood and pull out my hefty bag of coins.

Loegnir: "Good day to you sir, do have any interest in leather items or the hides of deer?"

Merchant: "I'll be willing to offer you some of my items for those fine leather boots you have"

Loegnir: "I can do that, I offer my boots for that quiver of arrows"

Merchant: "Haha! You must be joking fool, these are silver tipped arrows!"

Loegnir: "I am no fool, these are not silver, but iron."

Merchant: "Very well, you're not like the others"

Loegnir: "I'll offer the boots and 10 gold, no more!"

Merchant: "I suppose we have a deal, good day"

Loegnir: "Thank you, next time don't try any tricks, good day"

Unfortunately your application has been denied. Here are some things that need to be improved if you are wanting to reapply.

 

Wood elves have more of a caramel skin then pale. The skin color on your character would fit a high elf or even a regular elf without a subrace more.

 

Your biography is a good length but is really lacking in lore. I really feel like you can add much more into this. Try to add information such as cities or events pertaining to the elven race. All of the information you need can be found on our lore page above.

 

Expand on your ORQs. They are a bit short and lack detail, dialogue, and effort. You have a good start but try to expand on them. 

 

Please wait 24 hours from this denial before reapplying. If you have any questions don't be afraid to send me a message.
