Definitions
In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is:It's when you take the role of a made up character and pretend that you are him
In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is:It's when you use OOC information to your advantage in IC for example if it's posted on the forum or if someone writes in OOC chat that something have happened on the server and you use that info to go there and raid/explore depending on what've happened.
In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is:It's when your char makes something to another char that the opponent can't do anything about for example *Runs toward the enemy and roundhouse kicks his head off* The opponent didn't have a chance to do anything against it, though if you do it like this *Runs towards the enemy aiming to roundhouse kick his head off* that "aiming" gives the enemy a chance to block, avoid and so on.
In-Character Details
Character Name:Bjerrn Mountainback
Character Race:Dwarf
Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary: Bjerrn's mother and father were born in Aegis and when the infection and the destruction of Aegis started they were one of the few who survived and fled to Asulon. They settled in Kal'Karik hoping to start a new life. Bjerrn was born there. Bjerrn's father had made a name of himself as a great blacksmith and miner. Bjerrn is now 22 years old and works in the mines and also in his father's workshop and his father has taught him all he knows about smithing so that Bjerrn can take over when he dies, even if it's quite a while until that day comes.
Bjerrn's mother died when Bjerrn was 14 in a robbery outside the city of Arethor. One day Bjerrn and his father was on their way to Arethor to sell of the weapons and armor they had made in the workshop to earn some gold and visit the place where his mother died, when suddenly a group of bandits appeared from nowhere and attacked them. Bjerrn's father yelled for Bjerrn to run and save himself but he refused, he picked up his battle axe and went swinging it at the bandits. After a while of fighting the bandits retreated back into the forest and Bjerrn and father could go to Arethor and sell their goods. Bjerrn never really stopped thinking about those bandits and when they got back to Kal'Karik Bjerrn told his father that he was going to join the military so that he could defend the people against bandits and other dangers, his father saw in his eyes that this was something he really wanted and he gave Bjerrn his blessing to join the military. 1 year later Bjerrn is still in the military fighting to defend the people though his temper has gotten more fiery and he crave for blood and battle. Bjerrn is 23 years old and doing his best to rise in the ranks in the dwarven army of Kal'Karik. He is normally seen as a quite calm dwarf who likes to drink ale but is known to the rest of his fellow warriors to be very angry and almost out of control on the field of battle. He has a big brown beard, a full set of iron armor and a huge battle axe.
What are your characters ambitions?:Bjerrn would like to rid the world of all evil so that he can retire and start working in his father's workshop again.

Open-Response-Questions
Each question here must be answered with a minimum of one full paragraph, and detail the scene you are given in the way it would happen in roleplay. These questions should be answered in first person. Be detailed, not short.
Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response?I walk towards the dwarf pushing away the crowd standing in my and ask him if he has seen any bandits outside the city.
"Hello fellow dwarf, have you seen any bandits roaming the roads and forests outside the city?" I say in a low and slightly angry voice.
"That kind of information will cost you" He says with greed in his eyes
"You dare ask me to pay you for information, you see this axe here? One swing and there's two of you" I says out loud and angrily while stroking my axe.
"Okay, okay no need to get hostile here. I've seen some of these bandits you speak of in the forest north-east of here" He says with tears in his eyes.
"Thank you and here you go" I say and put a pouch of gold on the counter before i walk away towards the city gates.
You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?
As i walked along the road late at night looking for bandits i hear noises coming from a smaller path off the main road and i see an orc standing over a dwarf yelling at him in an unknown dialect
"Hey, leave that dwarf alone" I shout while equipping my axe
The orc looks up on me and what it sounded like growled at me while stepping away from the dwarf and coming closer to me.
I yelled for th dwarf to start running while i distract the orc.
As the orc comes closer i can see how big he actually is so i looked around for the other dwarf and when i was sure he was out of harm's way i kneeled down taking a handful of gravel from the path and threw in the orcs face and quickly ran away.
Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?:I quckly rush to the mans aid and help him to his feet and reach for his coins and give them to him.
"Thank you young dwarf for your help, may i offer you some coin for helping me?" He says with an old man's voice
"I don't need your coin old man" I reply joyfully.
"Oh, okey then, can you atleast help me get home?" He asks with some doubt.
"Of course, where do you live?" I ask
"I live in a small house in Malinor" He says joyfully.
As we walked to Malinor we talked about alot of things and i was shocked to know that this old man once had been a great adventurer, traveling the world, visiting elves and dwarves and studying our culture. When the old man had been left off at his house, i walked away with a smile on my lips knowing that i had a new ally.
