Small 2-3 Sentence Description of yourself:
Well, I've been playing rpg games for about 7 years now, so I have a good grip on how to rp when it is needed. I am very strict on staying in character when I am role-playing, and I am super polite and respectful to everyone I meet.
How much time could you be on the server weekly?:
I could be on the server a good full 3 days with a couple hours in the night when I get off work. My schedule changes pretty soon so I might be on more than I think.
What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you:
Yes, I can say I know about role-playing. Role-playing means, in my opinion, to use the best of someones imagination to create a character to present to others playing as well, but not only just character, but a whole back story, past life, experiences, and much more. Role-playing to me is not only important, but shows how much a person can interact with his imagination and use it to create vivid images and worlds.
What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?:
I have played DnD(Dungeons and Dragons), the actual pen to paper game, not the online one, and I have played WoW on a role-playing server in the past for about 5 years.
In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is:
Meta-Gaming in a way is useing outside information that I know, but my character does not. For example, I know how many hits it takes to kill a creeper with a sword, but my character does not. He sees it as a monster that he has to kill, while I know how to kill it.
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Gaming is:
Power-Gaming is the action of giving another player no choice to react, or forcing yourself/him/her to engage in a role-play that isn't desired. For example, If I encountered a player and said "I shoot my bow, and with precision, the arrow strikes you right between the eyes, killing you instantly." That is a form of Power-Gaming.
What do you expect this server will be like?:
I expect this server to have a bunch of different personalities and a very good community that I would love to be a part of.
What other server(s) have you played on and why did you leave them?:
Well I have played on Obsidian Craft, but left because of their horrible server uptime.

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.):
When Elthirion was young, his father, Elsvyner, taught him everything he knew. While his father was more of a swordsman, Elthirion favored the bow. Eventhough Elthirion favored his bow, his father taught him the ways of the sword. His father always said that, "Even though a bow can distance you from harms way, what will you use when harm is within reach?". Elthirion excelled at hunting at a very young age. Bringing home animals he had killed on his hunts, and later cooking them for dinner. One day, while he was hunting, Elthirion heard what had seemed to be metal hitting metal. His eyes widened as he remembered the sound of two swords hitting eachother. He turned from his hunting, and started to sprint home, as that was the direction of the sound. When he arrived, he was shocked to see what had stood before him. His father, standing bloodied and beaten, around fallen what had looked to be like undead. Elthirion ran to aid his father. "Father!" he shouted. As Elthirion reached him, Elsvyner collapsed. "Father...what happened here!?" Elthirion asked. "The undead...they attacked the town. A few other swordsman defended the town. We won...but your mother...she is with nature now.". Elthirion's eyes started to water as he heard the news, but tears of sorrow became tears of rage and revenge. "Elthirion, my son, you must not seek revenge...that is not the way of our people...You must run from here...start your own path, your own life...please son.". Elthirion nodded and layed his father down and stood up. "You must leave...I cannot fallow...I will be with nature soon...with your mother, son...leave me and start your life..." Elsvyner demanded. Elthirion respected his fathers wishes and left the place he once called home.
5 years later, Elthirion journeys til this day, looking for a place to call home once more. He is now 22 in elven years. The memory of his past home stays vivid in his mind. The feelings he once felt as hate and revenge, have faded, and Elthirion feels nothing. No remorse, no pity, no sadness, no anger. He feels he will find a place soon, he just doesn't know when. He has been sleeping in the trees of the forest, away from the ground where bandits, traders, slavers, or other mindless humans roam, just thinking about what his future holds, and when it will all come to play. He stays true to his elven brothers and sisters when he comes across them, aiding them where need be. As of now, Elthirion does not know where his new home will be, but what he does know is that he will keep looking, and hopefully have new allies with him as well.
