How much time could you be on the server weekly?:
If I had to guess how much time I could spend on the server, I would say that I could spend about 10-14 hours weekly.
What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you:
I know a little bit about roleplaying, but not having done it much, I would be surprised if I knew everything about it. My definition of roleplaying is where you act as the character you are portraying in-game, and you speak as if you were them. You also emote actions as they would be done in-game, I.E. *Mikman21 stealthily crouches in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to attack. Seeing as I have read the rules of this server, OOC chat is not allowed in a role playing sequence, except in certain situations. In other cases, that would be meta-gaming, which is against the rules. Likewise, power-gaming is against the rules as well. Definitions of these terms are below.
What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?:
Like I said before, I do not have very much experience in roleplaying,except that I have played Skyrim (Does that really count?). I have an idea of what to do, and with practice, I may be able to become an expert roleplayer.
In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is:
Meta-Gaming is when you use OOC information in your roleplay that your character would not know otherwise. This would be an example of Meta-Gaming. *Jim Brown is shot in the city of Arethor,and is fatally injured. *Mikman212 hears the shot from over 2 miles away and rushes to his aid.
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is:
Power-Gaming is when you do something in your roleplay that gives your opponent no chance to respond, I.E. *Mikman212 Shoots a poisoned arrow into Bob the Builder, and the poison reaches his heart immediately,which kills him.
What do you expect this server will be like?:
Never having played on the server, I cannot really expect anything, but having looked through your forums and wiki, I think it is safe to say that this will be an awesome experience,and a very in-depth one as well. Also, there will probably be a lot of good roleplayers out there because of your strenuous application system. (No insult intended)
What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?:
I have played on only a few servers, and none of them were roleplaying servers. All of them were either survival or survival/creative. Nevertheless, I think I will do well on this server.

Biography (Please make this at least 2 paragraphs long. This must include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):
The only things Alvin could remember before two years old was a foul smell, the screams of people in agony, and the rocking of a boat at sea. When he asked what those memories were from, he was told that they were from the undead invasion of Aegis. His family fled when the undead attacked and went to Asulon. They settled in the northern mountains. His family survived by raising a few animals, butchering them for food and other products, and selling them from passing traders. When wolves preyed on their animals, Alvin's father, Alvin, and Alvin's brothers would go wolf hunting ,and sell their pelts to traders as well. It was a hard life in their mountain farm, and they had to work hard to earn a living. Because of this hard work, Alvin grew up to be a strong man. When Alvin was about 16, a large pack of wolves attacked their animals in the night, killed some, and ran away. The next night, the wolves attacked again, but they were ready. Alvin's family drove them off, but not without a price. One of Alvin's brothers was dragged off and they found his body halfway down a mountain the next morning, all ripped up and bloody. Alvin swore to drive the wolves out once and for all. He got a party of his neighbors and family, and led them to the wolves' den. When they got there, Alvin ordered the hunters to throw a net over the entrance to the den, and shoot flaming arrows into it. After the first volley, a pained cry came from the stricken wolves, and they charged at the men. The net stopped them, and they were all killed. The men divided up the bodies of the wolves, and each went back to their home.
After this taste of battle, Alvin was restless back at the small farm. He longed for glory and battle prowess. Eventually, he chose to leave his home to become a traveling warrior for hire, as well as a traveling merchant. When he set out to explore the world, he wandered across the land, and was eventually drawn to the city of Arethor, and tried to settle down. He became restless, for he had the wanderlust, and so set off to wander the land of Asulon once more, killing and selling along the way...

Open-Response-Questions
Whilst traveling from the Cloud Temple you see a small halfling, being harassed by two armed warriors. They appear to be trying to steal money from him, how does your character respond?
Alvin runs up to the bandits, and they are so occupied with stealing the halfling's money that they do not notice him. Alvin immediately stabs one in the back, and then turns to fight the other one. He disarms the bandit, who then pulls out a dagger. Alvin sidesteps the slash and cuts off his hand. The bandit then yells and runs away very quickly. The halfling wants to thank Alvin with a reward, but Alvin chooses not to accept it, saying, "I need no reward for helping a person in need."
Your character wanders into Alras, and comes across a small stall, behind which a well dressed man is standing. He’s offering various wares, the merchant turns to you and says in a posh accent " 'ello there, what can I do you for today?" What is your character response?
Alvin responds, "Do you, by chance, have any arrows? My supply is running low." The merchant replies, "Ah, yes, I do have a supply of arrows, in fact. How many would you like?" As he hears this, Alvin considers how many he needs. "I would like a full quiver of 64 arrows, if you have that many. Thank you in advance." The merchant sells Alvin the arrows, and Alvin walks away to pursue his other needs.
Whilst wandering in the wilds, your character comes across a small hut, which looks abandoned. Inside it you see a chest containing a few iron bars, and a golden sword. How would your character respond?:
Alvin searches the area, and sees the telltale glint of armor in the bushes. He walks away quickly, denying the chance of a bandit gang attacking him.
Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you you in the common tongue, how do you respond?
Alvin greets them in the common tongue as well,and asks for a map and some supplies. He pays for them with some wolf pelts from wolves that he had killed. He walks out of the camp in the right direction to get back to familiar country.
You hear word that bandits occupy the road outside the town in which you have been staying. The town guard have gathered, and are asking for assistance to help eliminate them. The leader of the party is offering a reward for any who offer their support. How does your character act on this information?:
Alvin immediately joins the party, raring for a chance to fight. It has been too long since he has had a good battle. When they reach the bandits, a short battle ensues, with the town guard as the victor. Alvin is rewarded with a new sword, for his old one had broken in the fighting.
