What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you:

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is:
Meta-gaming is when a player gains outside information, while not being in character, which is to do with a certain game which he/she is involved with. The information learnt is then applied in game to obtain an advantage. An example of this is when a friend tells you the co-ordinates of a certain place, over skype or any other communications. With the information learnt, you log on and start making your way to this certain place. However, your character has not learnt this, and has no way of knowing where this place, therefore your character would never have found this place. Thus concluding that you have meta-gamed.
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is:
Power-gaming is when a player applies a quick and overpowering movement against another player that will not have enough time to react to it. For example *fires an arrow that pierces his heart, killing him instantly*. This is an example of power-gaming as the other player is not able to react to this action. Actions that would make this scenario realistic would be, *quickly pulling an arrow out from his quiver* this would give a chance for the other person to respond. When this is applied power-gaming has not came into play.

Lyron was born far west of the Cloud Temple in Asulon, this was because of the trauma that his mother had faced while living through the dyeing days of Aegis. Unlike most, Lyron’s mother believed that if the Undead were to strike again, they would most likely attack where everyone is mainly situated. Lyron’s father decided that it would be best to move away from central Asulon. After many months, Lyron’s parents managed to accumulate enough money to buy a boat. Due to the small amount of time people had lived in Asulon most of its lands hadn’t been mapped. Lyron’s father decided to pick a direction and follow it until they hit land again, this direction was west. After weeks of navigating through the vast and treacherous sea, Lyron’s parents finally landed on a peninsula.

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?
With each hit the warriors deal to the innocent and unprotected Halfling, cries out in pain. As the pressure mounted on Lyron, he became fearful for the health of the halfling. Looking around, there was nobody in sight, and with the Halfling close to the brink of death, Lyron needed to think quickly. While stumbling through his bag, Lyron grabbed a small bag of minas. With great haste, the bag was quickly untied, and was held up. The minas rushed out of the bag, as Lyron tipped it. The loud and crashing sound of the minas hitting the path caused the two warriors to quickly become aware of the chance of easy money. Without a second thought, the two warriors started rushing towards him, knocking Lyron aside. As the two warriors collected the minas, Lyron quickly rushed over to the Halfling, who was struggling to breathe. Lyron slowly and carefully picked the heavily damaged Halfling and carried him over to an isolated spot, where he waited for him to recover.
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?
Lyron looks at the various wares the merchant is offering. However, a bottle with a soft blue liquid catches his eye.
“And what must this be”, Lyron enquires, while pointing at the bottle.
“Uh…, that my friend is a potion of speed”, replies the merchant.
“What will it be?” Lyron asks.
“100 minas”, the merchant responds.
Lyron acknowledges that it could be a scam, but the price isn’t too bad if it didn’t work.
“It’s a deal”, Lyron says.
Lyron hands over the money, while merchant gives him the potion. The bottle is quickly opened, and a large sip is taken from it. Lyron notices his legs to become as light as a feather. His new found speed is quickly harnessed, and Lyron runs off, laughing in ecstasy.
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?:
Lyron looks over the iron bars and golden sword, and admires the hard effort in blacksmithing that was needed in creating the objects. As he ponders wether he should take the objects. However, he remembers what his mother had taught him, “Never steal in any circumstance”. Lyron decides to re-evaluate the situation, and comes to the conclusion that even though the hut looks abandoned, nobody would carelessly leave iron bars and a golden sword behind. While walking away, he realises that he has made the right decision.
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?
Lyron staggers up to the travelling merchants, while his stomach rumbles.
“Hello, I was just wondering where the closest town is”, Lyron asks. One of the merchants steps forward, towards Lyron. “The next town is directly north from here, but it will be a two hour walk”, the merchant replies.
“I am terrible hungry. Would you guys happen to have any food I can buy?” Lyron questions the merchants.
“Sure do, we have some pork roasting on the spit, but it will take another ten minutes”, the merchant replies.
While he sits by the fire, one of the men approaches Lyron with a small box, with the pork inside. Lyron thanks the man and hands over his minas, and continues on his journey.
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?:
“Hey you over there!” a guard yells out. Lyron quickly walks over to the guard.
“We need you to help us get rid of some bandits who are occupying a road outside this town”, says the guard.
“No way, I haven’t wielded a weapon in my life”, Lyron replies.
“That’s a shame, grab a spear, stand in the back of the group and lunge the spear at the bandits if they come close”, the guard says.
Lyron sighs, walks towards the pile of spears and grabs one. The group, including Lyron approaches the bandits. Without a word said, the battle begins. The bandits are easily out numbered, and most of them are killed or captured. During the battle Lyron remained at the back of the group, and didn’t partake in any of the action. Lyron knows that he would be ineligible, and walks off disappointed.
