What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: I know very much about roleplaying, and my definition of roleplaying is that you think or play out as your character and make a life for him/her through decisions that you think that he/she would make in their different situtations.
What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I have had much experiance. I am a hardcore RPer. I have done RPGing from an assortment of games such as World of Warcraft, City of Heros, Vanguard, Skyrim, Oblivion, and Mount and Blade. Additionally I have done actually RPGing; Where you have only papers, pens, dice, and your imagination. (Specifically Warhammer fantasy and D&D)
In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is: The act of meta gaming is using knowledge that you yourself knows that your character may not know which gives your character an unfair advantage. For example, say in Minecraft you are roleplaying on trying to figure out how to make something, rather than looking it up on the Wiki or something relevant to that you should seek out assistance (Say you want to make a sword so you find a blacksmith that can "teach you").
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is: The act of power gaming is giving your character an unclear advantage whether it be giving them unrealistic capabilities, and making it unfair against other players in realistic terms. For example (this situation is someone that shows Power-gaming), Your are wandering on the road and see a thug robbing a man, your character instantly pulls out his bow and shoots the thug in the head from over 80 yards. This shows power gaming because A. That would never happen realistically, and B. That gives your character a clear advantage over others (Aka: The thug).

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 am a 147 year old dwarf, standing 4'8" tall. My features include a thick brown beard, a stout belly, stubby legs, and a wide face.It all started about back in the second age when my great grandfather,one of the most famous commanders for the archer battalions, had a son who did everything as his father did, but after my great grandfather died My grandfather took his role as the commander for the archers. Then when my father was born he was to follow into his footsteps but he soon met my mother who came from a long line of blacksmiths so with the help of his new wife, he became a revered blacksmith. After hearing word of this my grandfather banished was disapointed and banish my parents and I from his house, and soon the city threw us out. A year later while searching different cities to set up a blacking smithing shop. My mother fell I'll and died. After the tradjec acciendent my father was determined to find a place to live. Then one day we stumbled apon a small underground village of Kal'Dwain that was just raided by undead. So my father and I started to help rebuild what was lost, and finally after the long and hard journey we set up a blacksmithing shop.
Throughout my childhood I meet a fellow Dwarf by the name of Dargan Heavyhammer, he was a good friend, strong hearted, not afraid to stand up for himself, and I remember a couple of times he would come over to my fathers smith shop to take lessons from him, then he became a famous blacksmith that made legendary crafts until he went to adventure off into the unknown looking for excitement. Also as I was growing up our family smithing shop became thriving as raids of undead grew bigger and bigger, but strangely they died off and our busniess was dying. Although it gave me horrid nightmares of looking outside my window to see a battalion of dwarven warriors fight countless waves. I haunted me ever so much... To see so much death in front of my own eyes, yet I knew that it should not burden me.
So I was soon hired at the local mining coalition. but I was given the dead shaft; which only a few miners worked for here I made barely enough money to keep my father and I feed,and it was the most deadly shaft for it was know to be infested with vial creatures. During those experience I remember that I was mining in a secluded area when I struck into what I soon to find out was an undead cavern as I stumbled through I lit up a torch only to see a giant spider lung at me. It knocked me down but I stumbled on my feet. Once I got stable it took a lunge at me which I dodged, during that time I pulled out my knife. It lunged straight at me again but this time I stabbed it! It shriveled to the ground where I soon felt a burning pain in my arm... I was bit! I rush back down the shaft yelling for help, but I knew there was none, but some how I woke up in the infirmary alive and bandaged up, yet I never really knew who saved me, it has always made me think wonder, Who saved me?
Finally at around the age of 90 I was sitting in my house where I looked outside to see the most horrifying site, a raid of orcs were ravaging our town! This raid was non like anything I have seen; These orcs were savage and brutal, they swung with a fury that could pierce a dwarf`s armor. I could only think of one thing during this raid, "I HAVE TO FIND MY DAD!". So I bursted out the door only with a small hand axe, as I was sprinting down the allies I saw only bodies of dwarven soldiers and orcs. I finally reached my father`s shop that was ransacked, I finally found him; he was in the wine cellar and he was very frightened I told him to stay there. After searching around looking for a better weapon I could only find and took a quiver of arrows and a beaten bow. So I rushed out side to find the nearest battalion, there I helped beat back the orcs, during that time I saved a general from being executed by an orc. From there on I became a local hero. Realizing that I had true potential in the military. I enlisted as soon as possible where I trained long and hard for many years only to be a battle hardened veteran of war. Finally, I remember the darkest of days, I was on patrol in the mountains only to come back to see my city in flames, dead and I saw the most petrifying sight. My father who was running with the refugees was shot down by an archer. All was lost I had nothing, my past life was gone... The only thing I could think of is my childhood friend Dargan. So then I ventured off into the unknown looking for a Dargan and looking for a new purpose.

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?
Taking a step back and observing this situation I go up to the 3 men and see what all is really happening. As I approach the two warriors look rather intimidating and giving me snickering looks. Keeping my hand on my axe being ready for anything I stroll up to the men and ask
"What business do you two gentlemen have with this halfing?"
One of them reponds
"He has money to owe to us!"
Seeing how they have such an aggressive tone I try to be as diplomatic as possible and say
"Well I am sure that yo-"
Out of anger one of the warriors pulls out a sword and yells
" You have no 'business here so how bout you bet it!"
Looking back towards the halfing I see he already escaped, so I politely respond
"Well it looks like I best be on my way" While I sprint as fast as I can away from the warriors.
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?
I respond with "Hello fine gentleman, may I browse through your wares?" Then I see merchant has something that peaks my interest, a big keg of 'Hard Dwarven Ale'; My favorite type of ale! I try to sweet talk him such as saying kind things such as, "Oh what is a fine tradesman like you doing out in a place such as this!" He responds with "Ah, I am just strolling around looking for someone to buy my wares. I respond back "Oh I hear ya laddy! But between you and me I wouldn't be sold out already, I mean you are quite the astonishing site!" Realizing what I just said sounded a little strange he looks at me then slowly walks away. I yell "Wait!" but in an instant he is running away.
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?:
Seeing these precious items I quickly think of how great it would to take them, and as my greedy thoughts submerge my conscience takes over I stop to think. Would this be considered stealing? So I look around to see the remains of a fire place, A table with bread crumbs, and a desk with old papers. Concluding that this stuff has no own, or that it was forgotten I gladly take it all! Now with a grin on my face I walk out only to be robbed of it the next day.
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?
I respond with a hearty "Hello" and try see if I can find anyone that sells food. After scouting through I find a merchant with dried meats and break. I kindly walk up to him and ask how much for a piece of bread, and he boldly states 5 minas struck by the cost I see if I can charm him to give me it for 3 but this man was very good at bargaining so we settled on 4. Now with a fresh hunk of bread, I take a bite into it only to find out that I am allergic to it.
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?:
After seeing this information I have the worry of getting killed or injured so I decide to sit this one out, although then I see the offer of how much they are willing to pay for assistance so soon I sign up. On the night of the attack against the bandits I become worried of what may happen but what seemed to only be a short period of time we are off to kill the bandits. Creeping up on the road I see 3 men in the distance around a fire I pull out my bow and pull my arrow on its string and finally fire. One of the men falls down grabbing his knee, while the others sheath their weapons and charge. Once again I take out my arrow to fire but then the bow`s string broke so then I pulled out my axe but to only be knock out cold by one of them men. Everything is a blur and I see on of my comrades telling me to get up. Once I become conscience again I look around to only see the aftermath of a bloody skirmish.
Finally thank you for taking your time to read through my application, I hope that I may see you in the lands of Aegis as Dwolgar Stoutfeather!
