What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you:
When roleplaying one takes on a character, and is devoted to remaining in character and playing out the game through said character. Roleplaying requires that you completely block out everything apart from the relevant world, it requires that you fully take on your role, and remain in character. In a way it's like acting, but through words.
What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?:
I do not have much experience roleplaying myself, but I follow a lot of roleplaying blogs, and I enjoy participating when I get the chance. I consider roleplaying to be similar to acting, but instead of using your body you use words. I have been acting since I was very young, and I love writing, which I hope will help me whilst roleplaying.

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?
Kalaeni assesses the situation from behind a close tree. She does not know the backstory of this confrontation, perhaps the halfling provoked the warriors. The warriors seem to be hurting the halfling now, she does not believe in violence, but sometimes it is needed. She climbs the tree and pulls out her bow, carefully aiming at a weak spot in one of the warriors armour. She pulls the bow back slowly, taking note of the wind and compensating. She lets the bow out and the arrow flies through the air, nestling itself in one warriors knee. He cries out as he falls to the ground, the other warrior has spotter her, she must act quickly now. She sends another arrow through the air toward the second warriors head, it hits him between the eyes and he stumbles before falling face-first in the dirt, the halfling has run away now. She nimbly jumps down from the tree, running over to the second warriors body, she checks his pulse, dead. She pulls the arrow from his forehead whilst keeping an eye on the first warrior. Slowly approaching the first man, she calls out "are you alive?" Her response is that of groans and angry sounds, alive but badly wounded. She walks over to him and crouches a few meters away. "Now, if you cooperate you don't have to die, I will grant you life." She inches closer to the man, levering the arrow from his knee. He cries out in pain and swings his fist at her. She jumps back and exclaims "I said cooperate! I could leave you here to bleed and die, or I could save you, which would you prefer?" The man groans again. She rips a piece of cloth from her cape and wraps it snugly around the man's wound. "You will be fine if you find medical assistance. Do not follow me." She runs forward into the thick forest.
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?
Kalaeni stares blankly at the man wondering if there is a certain phrase or social norm for this situation, she responds quietly "I need arrows." The man is disheartened by her bleakness but as he is desperate to make a sale, continues on. "Ah yes, and what kind were you after my lady?" He says gesturing toward a table of quivers, each with an arrow beside it.
"Um..." Kalaeni whispers, barely making a sound, "I need something, that can kill a man." She eyes each of the arrows, unsure of which is best. The shopkeeper looks concerned as he replies. "These arrows seem suitable to your needs," he picks up a long arrow with a sharp metal point, "but they come at a price." Kalaeni looks at him as if he had just stated that the sun rises in the morning, "I understand." She replies, a bit louder this time. She hands over a small pouch of coins "I think this should cover it, if not more." The man counts through the coins and hands her 3 back.
"Would you like the quiver as well?" He says hoping to make another sale. Kalaeni simply shakes her head as she places her new arrows into the quiver she already has.
"Thank you." She mumbles, faintly smiling.
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?:
Kalaeni is not very good with a sword, so she leaves it in the chest. She does not have much space to carry items, so she takes one iron bar and leaves the rest. She rests momentarily in the hut before continuing her travels, this hut was abandoned for a reason and she is not interested in finding out why.
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?
Kalaeni is thankful, but she does not plan on staying. She rarely stays in one place for more than a few nights and she will not make an exception now. She stays in the camp to regain strength and ask for directions from the locals. She is thankful for their help, and continues on her way.
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?:
Kalaeni was not meant to be in this town more than two nights, and now she is being drafted to fight? She ponders escape, but assumes that the roads are littered with bandits, and that even if she wanted to leave she could not. She decides to help the town, as her departure depends on the safety of the roads, and she does not want to see lives lost. She asks a guard to take her to a high vantage point where she can easily take down bandits as needed.
