Definitions
In your own words, define what the act of roleplaying is: I believe it to be acting or taking part in a role where you enter the mind of your character. You speak and act according to his beliefs, not necessarily your own.
In your own words, define what the act of meta-gaming is: Meta gaming is when you take information you learned outside of roleplaying into the rp. It is considered cheating on most servers.
In your own words, define what the act of power-emoting is: IT is when your character acts in a “god mode” state. He forces actions onto others and dodges all blows. This is also considered cheating or unfair on most servers.
In-Character Details
Character Name: Korren Sammos
Character Race: Norther Human
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:
History: Korren was born to a northern family that could not afford to keep their newborn. For this reason, he was left on the streets to die. Fortunately a man named Aroth Sammos found the boy. Not wanting the death of a baby on his mind he took the boy into his small apartment in Aeger. At first, Aroth wanted to be rid of the boy and looked for accepting parents. However his efforts came to be wasted as Aroth continued to care and nurture for the baby. One day he sighed to himself and decided to give Korren his name.
When Korren came of age to be able to help with the rent and food, Aroth put him to work. He trained him how to hunt and shoot a bow while also teaching him how to avoid fights with the dangerous creatures that roomed the lands whenever possible. When Korren reached the age of 12 he provided nearly all food for the two of them while Aroth worked in the feilds to pay for their other needs. It was a hard, but happy life for the two of them and they enjoyed the times they could spend together, not minding that the lived poverty.
For 9 years they lived like this and took care of each other. When Korren reached the age of manhood he decided to stay with his adopted father for he did not want to leave his old life behind. Unfortunately Korren was forced to leave these happy times behind him when Aroth was mugged and killed by a fellow man during the Black Moon Festival. Korren was devastated and cried hysterically when he heard the news of his adopted father’s death.
He did not stop crying until his tears ran out and his stomach ached for a meal. Korren reluctantly went to the wilds, hunted and fed himself, but decided to never return again to the apartment where so many memories lingered. With that decision he left behind his possessions that Aroth had given him and he set off to become his own man.
Appearance: Korren Sammos is a well-built man with black hair/ beard. He stand s at a hight of 5’ 11” and he wears a grey shirt, slightly dirty brown pants, and has blue eyes. His skin in pale and is normally darkened by dust and dirt.
Personality: He is a determined man who has a small fear of being alone for long periods of time. He is charismatic in nature and is a little quirky when taken off guard.
Age: 23
What are your characters ambitions?: Korren likes to be with other people. He would turn down wealth and power if it meant being alone.

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 noticed the dwarven shopkeeper calling at to the people that passed his store. He did not seem to be having much success however and I couldn’t help myself when I went over the to dwarf to see what he was selling. When I approached him he seemed more then pleased to show me his wares. I considered a few of the items and due to the lack of minas in my pockets I decided to buy his cheapest good, that I deemed useful. I noticed a small amount of joy in his eyes as I thanked him and walked away.
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? I found myself staring at a orc and dwarf in the distance. They had not yet seen me so I stayed out of sight as I watched to see what was taking place. The Orc seemed to be getting extremely angry at the dwarf, while the dwarf coward in fear. Thinking back on how my father died, I did not want to see a similar event take place without at least trying to help. So I took out my bow and yelled out to the two. I drew my bow and pointed it at the orc as I asked him to leave the dwarf be.
(I edited my response. I apologize for not aswering correctly the first time, I did not know the orc and dwarf were other role players).
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 jumped slightly when the man fell, but once the man hit the ground and the minas fell, It was his face that looked more frightened. I reassured him that I men him no harm and I gave him a hand to pull himself up with and I picked up some of the minas for him. He did not seem to happy over what had just occurred, but at least the look of fear was off his face.
