Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:
I am in 10th grade at Palisades Charter High School, and I work very hard to achieve good grades and self satisfaction.

I enjoy talking and hanging out with friends and family.
How much time could you be on the server weekly?:
It all depends on my homework load. I can spend anywhere from 4 to 15 hours on the server weekly.
What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you:
Role-playing is the style of gaming where you act out actions of a character, that you created. You use your character’s personality, and “thoughts” to act out actions, and dialogue. In a sense, Role-playing is taking on a fake identity, and becoming them. You make up the content based on the lore of the game, and play along with a community of people and friends.
What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?:
I have little experience with a strongly lore based role-playing game. Although I have played WoW on a RP server, I have not truly role-played in a game, like this server has to offer.
In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is:
Meta-Gaming is using out of character knowledge to effect the in-game actions and events. It often times upsets the balance of power in a game, which is why it is looked down upon on servers and games like this one. An example of this is if you have an enemy (In real life), and you use your actions to deliberately harm and ignore them in game by not using your characters thoughts and personality.
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is:
I had to search this term up on Google, but to my understanding, Power-gaming is performing an action without letting the other player react or defend himself. In addition, power-gaming is performing actions that your character and you cannot actually do in real life. Example: Frederick sneaks up behind Kevin and bashes his face to the wall, rendering him unconscious. Another example is; Kevin lifts up the three defenders and throws them life a football all the way across the field.
What do you expect this server will be like?:
I expect this server to be a wonderful Role-playing experience where I can explore and execute ton of adventures, and ideas. I’ve heard this server is the best and most well thought RP server out there and I want to live my life here as an Elven fighter and gentleman!
What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?:
I haven’t played on any other RP minecraft servers, but I have had my fair share of survival and creative servers. I haven’t exactly “left” Live-Craft, Colossus-Gaming, and a few other servers, as much as I have reduced playtime and have gotten bored of their styles of gaming.
Have you read, understood, and agreed to the rules?:
Yes I have thoroughly read the rules and I promise to abide by them.
Do you promise to abide by said rules, and laws?
This includes the Server, Forum, and Teamspeak set Rules: I agree to the in-game rules, and the Server, Forum, and the Teamspeak rules.

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.):
Taelor was born in the vast Elder Tree City of Normandor to Alya and Calanon Silentwind. He was a beautiful pale baby with cherry red eyes that seemed to pierce the skin when starred at long enough. Taelor was smaller than most babies of the Elves but he did not stay this way for long, Very quickly, he began to take on his father’s attributes that resembled a very muscular, rather tall, and grayish brown haired boy. His friends and family called him Calanon jr. because of the huge similarities, but he preferred his own name, which he believes makes him who he is. In addition, his activity in recreational sports and events kept him healthy and good looking, for his looks were his charm, personality, and his life style. Although his image was his strength. It was also a very dangerous weakness. One day, while running in the forest with some buddies, Taelor tripped on an outreaching root, and stumbled down a cliff side. Talor was put into a coma for nearly a year. He woke up from that coma when his parents were visiting on a rainy afternoon. It was the happiest day of Alya and Calanon’s life. He barely survived the fall and the local doctors told him he was extremely lucky to have made it. From this tragic event he inherited a massive scar, essentially splitting his face into two. He regarded the day as his “Doom Day” because his most treasured appearance had faded from him.
Taelor was born to be wild in a sense, he never excelled at school from very early on. Taelor went to a small school, but he loved it, there he met his best friends, who he still cherishes today. One especially, Bael, shared many memories with Taelor, they were best buds and did almost everything together, they hunt and go on adventures still today. At school he learned the basic to survival, language, science, and more classes that he did not find important. He also learned the art of bow-crafting and hunter. This was the start to his future. His sharp quick eyes were perfect for any fast paced movement of almost any animal. His father was very proud of his son, being an excellent hunter himself, he took it upon himself to train his boy to be one of the finest archers in his village. Taelor crafted himself a cheap, but well made pine bow with a spider’s silky string. He hunted from dusk till dawn bringing in his game, and making food easy for his parents. His cliff dive did not change his want to hunt in the dangerous forests. He took it as a message to be more alert and focused on his surroundings. One day out hunting around 5 in the morning, Taelor spotted what did not look like to a normal beast in the forest. He crept up slowly quieting his breaths and movements to a murmur. To his surprise, he found a beautiful Elf around his age hunting down a wild pig. Knowing that the slightest of sounds would alarm her and put his life in jeopardy. Taelor silently whispered, “hey” and she darted around with her bow fully drawn and ready to fire. Taelor told her he wasn’t gonna harm her, and they became friends. Soon they hunted together almost everyday, playing a game of who can hunter the best and the strongest of the native creatures of the forest. He fell in love with her and he believed that she too loved him. But her family moved away. He wishes to see her later on in life. Taelor won most of the time but occasionally let her beat him showing off the kind side of his personality.
As Taelor reached 153 years of age, he opened a small bow and arrow shop. He had made all of his bows and all of his arrows himself as a boy and a young teenager which, in turn, taught him the secrets of bow-making. He knew precisely the right angle to carve the wood, and the best spider silk for the string. His bows were very popular for the people close to him, although never famous, he was well known by his close neighbors and villagers. His parents were becoming very old at this point and his father developed a memory loss symptom when he could barely recite the days of the week. Taelor was held down by his parents as they recently required constant support from him. He postponed his ambitions of traveling Asulon’s forest for the greatest hunt. His father died just 1 year before Taelor’s 154th birthday. He and his mother both grieved for the next few months. This was a very quiet time for the Silentwind family. Now Taelor wishes to pickup his ambitions which he sacrificed for his parents. He still continues to take care of his mother, although that is not the first priority for him. Taelor now wishes to find and rekindle his love with the young huntress from his teenage years. In addition, he wishes to participate in The Great Hunt and continue living his fast paced life.

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?
Taelor, walking along a road observes a small halfling getting mugged by two armed men. He carefully observes the two men and their weapons and armor. Taelor doesn’t want to get involved unless the halfling’s life is in danger. In the blink of an eye one soldier whips out his sword and presses it against the halfling’s throat. Taelor comes running out of his hiding spot, bow drawn and ready. The armed men turn towards him. Taelor says, “why don’t you leave him alone and leave now before authorities come.” The armed men look at each other briefly, grin and laugh evilly with each other. One of them says very sarcastically, “What are you going to hurt us with your measly bow and arrows.” As soon as the sentence finished, an arrow pierced the Armed man in between his chestplate and leggings. Taelor says, “Yes, I will hurt you with my measly bow and arrows.” Emphasizing the words measly and arrow. “Now scurry before I hurt you also.” The armed men help the other get up and they hop away. Taelor now searches for the halfing who has fled since the attention was not on him. Taelor continues walking, now with the self pride that he has done a good deed.
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?
Taelor inspects the man realizing that he is very well off, and most likely has inflated prices compared to those at home. But Taelor wanders around the stall anyway, knowing that he has some spare money and wouldn’t mind a gift for himself. The merchant says again, “Is there any items that you are interested in?”
Taelor responds with, “By a slim chance do you have any strong birch wood, capable of crafting high quality bows and arrows?” With a grin, the merchant says a longer than normal “Yes.” The merchant in black, wanders to the back of the store, to fetch the wood. Proud of his purchase, Taelor returns home and excitedly goes to his workbench and begins to create his new weapons. The wood breaks and splinters under his hammer and scalpel. Knowing he has been cheated he quickly paces to the stall, only to find that the merchant is no longer there.
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?:
Taelor looks around the hut hoping to find someone so he could obtain a loaf of bread and maybe a drink or to. To his surprise no one is there, but out of the corner of his eye he sees a chest. Curiosity overwhelms him. The iron bars and golden sword are beautiful creations and Taelor’s ethics and morals are put to the test. Taelor takes a few iron bars out and leaves the golden sword, knowing it has no use or value to him. He looks around before departing making sure he hasn’t been watched or caught for stealing. Taelor hurries away with a feeling of regret. (( I know stealing is against the rules unless you have a villain app))
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?
Taelor approaches carefully knowing that traders are not always the most friendly people. In a calm and patriarchal way, Taelor responds, “Hello friends.” Taelor’s stomach growls loudly. A friendly, middle aged woman appeared from behind a tent. She says, “My friend, when was the last time you ate, that sounded as if a stampede had started.” Taelor mentions he is lost and hasn’t been able to find any game to hunt. She invites him to her tent and they enjoy a nice pork chop dinner with a few of the other traders. She give Taelor a blanket and says you can go on your way in the morning. Taelor thanks the traders for their hospitality, and kindness. They give him some bread and fresh water and he continues on his way. Taelor thanks Aeriel for the kindness he put in people.
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?:
Taelor ponders the thought of attacking an armed camp of men, who most likely are well fighters. Taelor then thinks about the profit, thinking he could use a few more minas. Taelor thoughtfully and slowly walks up to the guards and submits himself as an archer. Feeling better about this now, because he is not going to be fighting hand to hand. A day passes and the guards announce to the public the time of the attack and when to gather. Timidly, Taelor shows up. Fearful, but putting on a brave man’s face, The guards move close to the bandits camp. They send a scout to report on the bandit’s actions. When he returned he announced that there were no bandits at the camp and it looked abandoned. Everyone was astonished, and reluctant to not have to go to battle. Taelor walks back to where he was staying and lays down. Happy, that he did not have to fight for his life today.
