How much time could you be on the server weekly?: Weekly? Probably 10-15 hours.
What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.: I have been roleplaying in textual environments since 1998. Moving to a visual interface will be new to me, but I am up to the challenge. RP, to me, is enacting out the role of your character. As if you were responsible only for one character in a vast story.
In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are. I would imagine metagaming is utilizing out-of-character information (aka information your character would have no feasible way of having). Powergaming is forcing others into a specific role or reaction, such as "playing god" or simply stating that you won a fight, without giving the opportunity to play it out organically.

What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?: I have primarily played on my own personal (creative) server and Mau5ville. I still hang out on Mau5ville sometimes, but it's become too big for me to feel comfortable on anymore.
Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?: Yes.
How did you hear about us?: On a server list (I apologize, I forget which).

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):
Tadiera is likely somewhere in her mid-twenties. It can be difficult to tell, for she often wears a hodge-podge collection of run-down clothing. A hold-over from her childhood being raised by a kind couple that took in children without homes. It was not an orphanage, per se, though many orphans did live there. It was more of a family who had simply adopted many more, out of the kindness of their hearts. A couple that could not have any of their own, so they took in children to fill the hole in their hearts.
Though she was too young to remember more than fleeting images and emotions, Tadiera was raised with the story that her parents had been killed by a band of thieves who raided the town her family lived in. Her mother managed to escape, but succumbed to her injuries too soon after. No other family was known, so she passed through orphanages until she was adopted as a toddler.
It was a warm and loving home. Though they were poor, no one was for want of food or shelter. Tadiera was raised understanding the lay of the land, though something else always gnawed at her. As she grew into a tall, moderately attractive young woman, she found the need to find out who she truly is became greater until it was nearly an obsession. She was in a region where most people were fair of skin, with light hair and eyes... while she had a dusky complexion, with green eyes and hair. It was as obvious as day that she was not from the area, even without her adopted parents being open with the fact that they had taken her in. They, however, knew not where she came from save for snippets of stories passed from caretaker to caretaker.
With only a basic skillset in hand and a thirst for knowledge that bred a sense of adventure, Tadiera set out once she was old enough to work for herself and carry a blade. She can be a somewhat reserved young woman, but wields a sharp wit and a dry humor as she relaxes and becomes comfortable. She has no trouble making friends, though she is wary of letting anyone in too close. She moves frequently, seeking out the brigands that killed her parents.
Your characters ambitions:
To better herself as a person and in a skill (though she has found none that suit her yet) while seeking out those that murdered her parents.
Out in the Wilds, your character comes across a small cottage. Outside, there appears to be an elf struggling combat with two bandits. What does your character do?
Bandits are the bane of Tadiera's existence and she cannot abide by their mistreatment of other citizens. She would, without a second thought, leap in to aid the elf.
Your character walks up to a shop in the middle of Al'Khazar. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer?
