What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you:Roleplaying is playing out a role and acting as if you were someone else. It also means that you should not act as if you are from the physical world but rather the game itself.

In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is:Meta-gaming when you do something or say something that you know from real life but your character should not know.

In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is:Power-emotes are emotes which do not give the receiving player a chance to react to the emote. This could include something like "bob cuts larry's throat" which in turn does not let larry react.

Aeratoth was a childish elf who wandered off from his family to play in the forest, but then fell into a river and was swept along with the currents. Knocked out by lack of breathe, he arrive on dry land far from where his parents were. Not knowing where he was he began to wander, only to be picked up by a group of bandits and used as their slave labourer. He did their bidding for many years until, one day when he was totally fed up with it. He began speaking with the other prisoners plotting to escape, later one of the older women gave him some herbs she put together. He laced the bandits' food with the herbs which put the bandits to sleep while he and the other prisoners escaped.
After he had escaped he decided it best to hide in the forest for a few days, just to be sure the bandits could not find him. Knowing the herbs already after having served the bandits so long, Aeratoth did not starve or get hungry for he fead himself well. However one day while walking by a small town, Aeratoth was drawn by a new smell. The locals being human saw Aeratoth and were astonished for they had scarcely seen an elf, and to see one so beaten they decided to help him. Aeratoth was then cleaned of his wounds by the local healer and raised by a caring but poor family. This lead Aeratoth to be well built and a good farmer while remaining as kind as possible, but the mental scars left by the bandits and the loss of his parents never left him.

However such opportunities do not arise as often as he would hope so he spends more time practicing on simple monsters than killing bandits. He remembers the bandit leader's face and remembers it every time he goes to kill ever motivating him until the day he sees the bandits whom captured him dead.
