What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you:Roleplaying is that you take on a role of a class or character for example: you pick a healer class and then you stick to healing people or you decide that you want to be a miner, then it's not so usuall that you are out in the wild hunting animals. Else way Roleplaying is that you make a story about a character and "act" as that character.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is:Meta-Gaming is that you use OOC info to your IC advantage. Like looking at someones name in the chat (OOC) and then you adress them by that name even though it's the first time you two meet or that you learn about a monster OOC exacly how to kill it the fastest way and it's strengths and weaknesses and then you kill it with your character even though the character have never seen the monster before or even heard about it befor. Else way it's over all you use information you have acquire outside the game and use it in game.
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is:Power-Gaming is that you get a unfair advantage over the other player(s) or that you make something immposible to counter for example: "Player 1 binds Player 2s arms and legs making him unable to move or act." or "Player 1 casts a irrevocable death curse on Player 2 that makes him die in one minute" That would ruin the Roleplaying greatly since Player 1 is playing god at those two example moments.

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.):
I was born into a Noble Elf family. The town we lived in was close to the border of Malinor and the Human Kingdom of Oren. The Humans usually traveled here or through here to trade their vares so I'm not alien to Humans. Since I was born a noble alot of preasure was put on me to be the perfect son. I was alweys trying my best to live up to the expectations of my mom and dad as well as the rest of the people of the town. My parents engaged me with a girl named Valadhiel that was in the only other noble family in the same town. I didn't like the idea that two people are bound to be married even though they don't know eachother at all.
I started reading adventure books when I was at the age of 15 and decided that I wanted to become a adventurer when I got older. Although this dream was not shared with my parents or my fiancee I still wanted to be trained in the way of the sword so I could be able to defend myself when I was on the road. My parents was okey with me training but still didn't like the idea that I would not be around in the future. My fiancee tried time and again to make me leave this foolish idea but I had my mind set on it.
But simply training with the sword wasn't enough, since I'm a Noble I should bring something more then just that, so I visited our towns Wizard also. Although I didn't get to learn any damaging spells because he had been told not to teach me anything dangerous, I was taught the way of how to heal others instead. Over the years I had grown closer to Valadhiel simply becouse she was almost alweys around. At the age of 19 I had grown to my full length of 1,70 meters, quite standard length for the people of this town and finnaly my mom and dad was okey with me leaving the town. Under the conditions that I would return home in under half a year, to take the family sword to protect me and that I would take a knight with me from our house. I was so thriled to finnaly be able to travel the world as a adventurer so I promised I would return home in half a year. I waved good bye to my parents and gave Valadhiel a hug and promised her I would return soon. Sadly this was the last I saw of my parents, alive that is.
When it had been four months since I left home I heard a rumor that the town I had grew up in had been attacked. I packed all my things and headed out home to see if it was true. I reached my town a week later to see it in ruins. I could not fully grasp the thought that my family and my friends was dead so I ran straight to our mansion. It was the same as the rest of the town. I rushed through the broken down doors to find the bodys of my mom and dad along with most of our servants there. "What had they done to deserve this?!" was all I could think as I droped down to my knees crying.
When I had calmed myself down I noticed that Valadhiel wasn't among the dead. There was still hope that some part of my past was still intact. I rushed to her house but on the way I noticed a old woman was crosing the street. "What happned here?" I asked the woman. "A huge groupe of bandits killed everyone they even had demons with them, thankfully Lady Valadhiel managed to escape." "Thank the seven heavens she is alive, wait you said demons?" "Yes, there were like in those old tales about Iblees army." "I see you should head towards the nearest town this is no place for a old woman to stay." I said as i starting walking through the rubble. I was just glad that atleast Valadhiel was alive even though there was destruction all around me. With my hometown destroyed I decided I would return to beeing a adventurer and at the same time look for Valadhiel.
I like to talk and help people, I dislike bandits and over all criminals and I'm over all cherfull and happy exept when it comes to talking about my hometown. I have blue eyes, brown hair, a black hood with a red cape and a old gray armor with red details.
What is your Character's ambitions?:To revenge the death of my home town, to find Valadhiel and to make sure that nobody should feel the sorrow of losing those close to them as I have.
What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): My favorite tool is my swords because of all the training I had when I was little. I especially use my family sword that I received when I first went out as a adventurer.
What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?My talent to heal people, my knowledge of how to fight with my sword and my helping nature is the best sides of me.

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? I walk up to the two men and halfling.
Me:"Hey what are you two doing?"
Bandit 1:"What do it look like we are doing? we are taking this money this halfling owe us!"
Halfling:"They are lying! Thay are bandits!"
Me:"So you 2 are bandits huh?" *I pull out my sword*
Bandit 2:"And? What are you gonna do about it?"
Me:"I suggest you two leave the halfling alone and get out of my sight or I might not stay this friendly much longer, besides there is a guard post just over there.
"Bandit 1:"Oh yeah we are two to one, you can't really do much on your own and those guards don't scare us!" *They both pulled out their swords and turned awey from the halfling.*
The halfling sneaked awey as they charged towards me and I started backing awey towards the guard post.
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?

Merchant: "Just the finest vared take a look" He was selling many diffrent types of jewelary.

Me: "That much for this little jewel?"
Merchant: "Sorry sir, but the demand is high on fansy stuff at the moment if you don't want it I'll just put it back"
Me: "Okey, thanks for your time, good luck with your business." (me thinking as i walk awey) *such a ridiculous price for a ring should almost be counted as a crime*
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?:
Me thinking: "Who would leave this laying around in a unlocked house?" I look around to see if there is any sign of the owner of the house. I take 2 of the iron bars but leave a ammount of minas to represent the cost of the bars. The house really looks abandoned though.
As I exit the house a old man is standing there.
Old man: "What were you doing in my house?"
Me: "Oh this is your house? sorry it looked abandoned so I took these two iron bars"
Old man: "Thief!"
Me: "You got it wrong I left minas as payment but if you want them back I can give them to you here and now." I hold out the two iron bars towards him and he snatches them from my hands.
Old man: "You're a real stupid thief or not a thief, get out of my sight anyway!"
Me: "Fine I tried to be resonable and you was this hostile, but I don't want to bother you so see you."
Me thinking: "How could he think I was a thief?!" I kick a small stone awey as I walk awey annoyed and with less minas then I headed out with.
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?
Me: "Oh god I'm so glad to see people, do you have any food I can have?"
Merchant 1: The merchant looks me up and down. "Sure, you look like you are about to starve to death anyway, haha."
He searched through one of the bags they had and took out a piece of bread and took a bucket of water from the ground.
Merchant 1: "Don't worry about the water, it's a new bucket and it's rain water."
Me: I started eating the bread and drink the water"Thank you, you guys are life savers. Oh could you point me in the direction of the closest town?"
Merchant 2: "Just follow the road to the east and you will reach a small town in about a days travel."
Me: "Alright, but is it okey if I stay here over night, I'm really tired of walking around lost out here."
Merchant 1: "Fine but before you leave could you try to help with some things around the camp?"
Me: "Yes of course, after all I have to repay you guys for the food and that you're letting me stay."
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?:
There is a crowd full of angry farmers and merchants around the leader.
Leader: "Stop complaining everyone! if you want the bandits gonne then make sure to sign up to help us, besides you will even get paid."
I made my way through the crowd.
Leader: The leader sighs."So what are do you want Elf? You want to complain or what?"
Me: "I want to help with the bandit problem, how serious is the situation?"
Leader: "They have taken over the road to the north, every merchant caravan that tries to go that way is plundered. You said you wanted to help?"
Me: "Yes sir, I want to drive the bandits awey."
Leader: "So what exacly can you do?"
Me: "I can fight with my sword and I can use heal incase anyone of ours get wounded."
Leader: "Well now someone that is atleast talking like they are capable. We can't garantee though that you will be safe all the time so watch your back."
Me: "Ofcourse we are gonna fight bandits but with the guards and those that have signed up we should be good."
Leader: "Indeed, well we are moving out in a hour, be ready by then."
Me thinking: *Bandits are cowards by nature as they attack the innocent, I'm gonna give them a taste of how it is to feel pain.*
