What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you.:
By my own definition, Roleplaying is acting like and essentially becoming a character or another person. Roleplaying is taking on a role and embracing it as your own life. In-game, roleplaying means always being in-character and speaking, playing, and acting as though you are that person.

Powergaming, on the other hand, is when a user performs an action on another user without his consent and without allowing him to react.

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):
Tavaret was born into a poor serf family in Galahar. After Al'Khazar was raided by the Undead, Tavaret's ancestors fled, along with many others in the Kingdom of Oren, to Galahar. Distraught and poor, Tavaret's ancestors were forced into serfhood in order to survive, and continued to work the land for years.
Tavaret's family, while poor and tied down because of serf life, taught him to work hard and to hate the Undead with a passion. His family purchased a house with all the money they had when Tavaret was little. While growing up, Tavaret was taught with books that his mother had saved from her own childhood. Energetic, disciplined, talented, and intelligent, Tavaret strived to be the best he could be.
In his free time he wandered about the city, and sometimes even wandered to the outskirts of Galahar. Tavaret frequently visited the market, always meeting new people and hearing the stories of the latest attacks of the Undead. He would frequently use sticks to sword fight with local serf children, and rarely lost a fight. Few children doubted that he could later rise to be a strong and able defender of his Kingdom.
Tavaret is now tall and slender, yet still strong. He is particularly strong in swordsmanship from his younger days and can easily work himself out of trouble. Tavaret's one weakness, however, is his lack of knowledge outside of Galahar, taking few steps actually outside of the city, and his poor bow skills.
Tavaret is 18 years old and will become a strong defender of the Humans and his city. He hopes to seek vengeance against the Undead who sacked Al'Khazar many years ago. Unable to help his people when he was younger, Tavaret is now hungry for blood and rightfully so.
Your characters ambitions:
To seek vengeance against the Undead, to defend his Kingdom, and to protect his people.
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?
Tavaret, wanting to help his ally however possible, would approach the two bandits, and yell, "Hey, leave that elf alone!". He would then assist the elf in need by attacking the bandits. Tavaret, strong, young, and battle-ready, would easily help the elf destroy the two bandits. "Thank you, kind Human," the elf would say. "I owe my life to you! I must go now, my family is expecting me home. Before I leave, what is your name, so I can tell my people of your bravery?" Tavaret would reply with his name, and the elf would be on his way.
Your character walks up to a shop in a quiet market. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer?
My character would answer, "Good day, fine sir! I am in need of a new sword. One that is strong, powerful, and very durable! Do you happen to have any in stock? I would pay a high price for such a sword! My current one was damaged heavily when I encountered some orcs while traveling along the road." The shop owner would respond, "You're in luck - I just picked up some new swords from the blacksmith down the road! Here, take your pick." Tavaret, looking for the best sword, would feel all of the swords in his arms, and pick the one he was happiest with. "I would like this one!", he would say. "Great choice!", the shopkeeper would answer. Tavaret would pay the shopkeeper the correct amount of Minas and be on his way, wielding a strong new sword which will help him in case of an attack.
