How much time could you be on the server weekly?:
An hour to two hours a day, but Thursday can be up to 6 hours.
What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you:
It is taking neccesary actions to make a character come to life. You pose as that character, speak, live, eat, etc. as that character was real.
What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?:
None, unfortunately. But I hope that this server will be a good first experience trying roleplaying out.
In your own Words, define what the act of Meta-Gaming is:
Meta-gaming is giving the character out of game (or OOC) knowledge to things in game. For example, what if Lewis and Simon from theyogscast post on their facebook wall that they're going to play on Lord of the Craft? I don't go yelling to everybody in-game, "Xephos and Honeydew are coming to Lord of the Craft!!!" First of all, they hadn't even come yet. Secondly, my character haven't even met them in-game. Thirdly, you don't expect my character to explain that she got the information from THE INTERNET. I mean, that would be unproffesional roleplaying. Lastly, "Xephos" and "Honeydew" might not be their in-game names when they come on. So, yeah. That's basically my look on meta-gaming.
In your own Words, define what the act of Power-Emoting is:
Acting like you're superman. You win exery battle and escape every arrest. That is unfair to everybody. You can't win all the time.

Fun, worth playing, with a good community, and excellent plugins and surroundings. I hope this will be a grand experience.

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.):
Born and raised in the town of Ager, Owen grew up like a normal child. Her mother farmed several types of crops and sold them at the local market. Her father fished great deals of catch at the near-by pond and accompanied his wife at the market, keeping some food for themselves. Owen, on the other hand, filled her days playing with her friends and day-dreaming on the tops of trees. She hoped that one day she would become a person that everybody would look up to and admire. Owen wanted to live up to this dream and watched the guards of the town practice their swordplay, studying their movements.
At age 15, she bought a sword for herself from the town's blacksmith. With this weapon, she practiced her sword skills and advanced at it every day, determined to get to her goal and become a hero. Instead of destroying Owen's dream, her parents encouraged it, proud that their child was trying to be the best that she could possibly be. So, at age 17, she had practiced hard and long enough that she thought that she was good at her skill. But, she had only trained with herself, and not other people. Owen had to have a greater challenge than this, so she decided to finally leave her parents and start an adventure. Owen's parents accepted her decision and embraced her determination. They said goodbye and their child left the town, her sword gleaming in the light of the sun.
Not long after the departure, Owen met new people and saw new places. She was starting to like the life of an adventurer and enjoy the danger and excitement that comes out of it. After a few months, she had encountered a bandit on the outside of the village that she stayed in. He threatened to kill her and take all her Minas. She was scared but determined and she lunged out for an attack. He dodged it, barely, and kicked out. His foot connected with her leg and Owen yelped in sudden pain. She quickly shook off the impact and clashed her sword with his. The clang of metal was loud and Owen was unnerved by it. Still, she continued the slashing and thrusting of her sword, dodging and quickly slicing afterwards. The bandit was annoyed by her skill and endurance that he tried to kick her again. Owen knew that was coming by the restlessness in his eyes and dodged it. She quickly lashed out her sword and struck his right leg, relieved that he had tried that dirty trick. She would have lost if it wasn't for that hasty kick. The bandit's leg was almost cut off and he was howling with pain. He crawled into the forest, blood gushing from his limb. Owen watched him dissapear into the woods and she continued her journey on a path, wondering what would have happened if he hadn't tried that trick.

Each and every question must be answered with a minimum of a single full paragraph and entirely in RP.
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?
From a distance, Owen calls an insult to the Bandits: Bandits! You should pick on someone your own size! This is pathetic and cowardly to take on the unarmed when you are armed!
The guards stop harassing the halfling and turn to face Owen, anger on their faces. The two chase Owen, tailing her. They forget the halfling as he runs away, grateful for the human. The two bandits chase Owen, their blades gleaming in the sunlight. Suddenly, Owen comes across a small cliff and has no choice but to jump off. It's either certain death or injury. Owen chooses injury. She leaps off and breaks her leg, but the bandits don't follow.
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?
Owen: I am a bit hungry, sir. Do you have any fresh bread today?
Merchant: I have just baked a fresh batch. How much peices do you want?
Owen: Oh, just one loaf will do.
*Merchant nods and gets out a soft, white slice of bread*
Merchant: It's on the house.
Owen: Really? Oh, thank you, sir. *nibbles on the bread* It's delicious! Thank you.

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?:

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?

*Gets food and map* Leader: Here you go. This'll be 20 minas.
Owen: Okay.*puts 20 minas in his hand and grabs the food and map*

Town Guard: Could I offer you a reward for your assistance?
