For example, a historical re-enactment of the Battle of the Somme, in World War 1. What’s metagaming?: - Metagaming is when a player uses information or gained outside of the game, to gain an unfair advantage over other players in-game.

What’s powergaming?: - Powergaming is the unfair use of emotes or actions that cannot be prevented by other players in a roleplaying scenario, allowing a player to become unstoppable or overpowered.

What’s your character called?: - Sylvein Gillyn What race are they (and sub-race)?: - High Elf What sex are they?: - Male How old are they?: - 230 Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): - Sylvein Gillyn was born into an average family of Elven jewellers in the Conclave of Malin. He spent the early parts of his childhood crafting jewellery for his parents, and he was a miserable failure, at best. Every accessory or trinket he attempted to make was flawed, or broken before it could be put on display. Sylvein's father saw him the exact same way that everyone else saw his jewellery, like he was damaged beyond repair. His mother, on the other hand, was constantly trying to find another line of work for her son, whom only revealed his true potential when dealing with the finer arts, such as painting or poetry. However, Sylvein's true passion lay with the art of cartography. He was never happier when he was surrounded by maps of distant lands, and he spent large quantities of his time recreating the works of other cartographers. One day, this all changed when Sylvein suddenly had his world uprooted. His mother had caught Bo'dank, and after just one week of agony and pain, she passed away. Almost immediately after this, Sylvein's father destroyed all of his maps, and forbade him to do anything but craft jewellery, as he had no siblings, and was supposed to take over the family buisness. For this, he detested his father, and continued to ruin anything he crafted, this time on purpose. Eventually, Sylvein's father realized that his son was a lost cause, and threw him out of his home... not that he thought of it as home anymore. That was the last time Sylvein saw his father, as he left the Conclave of Malin, and now wanders the land of Anthos, seeking to compile his own series of maps that contain all of Anthos. He feels that he can allow his mother's spirit to live on in his work, so he strives to make his life's work indisputably perfect. What are their ambitions?: - To create a detailed map covering every region of Anthos. Do they have any special skills?: - Sylvein has an incredible memory, and is quite intelligent, allowing him to remember specific landforms or large volumes of information, and recall them at will. He also has a very steady, accurate drawing hand, gained from hours spent recreating maps during his childhood. What are their weaknesses?: - Sylvein is weak, and has never so much as held a blade in his entire life, making him useless in combat. He has low immunity against disease, and nearly no resistance to poisons. Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: - Standing at 6'8, He is fair-skinned and light haired, standard among High Elves. His eyes are a dark violet. He is often seen wearing a long, pitch-black coat, and a deep-purple cowl, with the hood down. Anything else you want to say about them?: - Nope!

In-Character Information What’s your character called?: - Sylvain Gillyn What race are they (and sub-race)?: - High Elf What sex are they?: - Male How old are they?: - 230 Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): - Born into a family of jewellers, Sylvain was forced to learn a craft he did not care for at the very start. Because of this, he spent a large part of his childhood resenting his parents, and he was frequently away from home, looking for other ways to occupy his time... anything to avoid crafting jewellery for the undeserving richfolk and nobility. During one of these ventures he befriended an old scholarly elf, who told him wondrous, fanciful tales of the distant past. However, it was only when the subject of the Ancient Elven language surfaced that Sylvain became truly engrossed. Hearing tell of how nature could be manipulated with just the whisper of a few words enthralled him, causing him to develop something of an obsession with the lost tongue. This obsession has now consumed his entire life, and Sylvain is now an elven scholar himself, he seeks to learn the Ancient Elven language, to ressurect in himself the power to manipulate nature with his voice. The tales of the druids, the great caretakers of flora and fauna alike, inspired Sylvain to put most of his time into studying the arts. Sylvain now looks for a druid's grove to hopefully start his dream of learning the old tongue and keeping nature's beauty safe for all generations to come. What are they like (personality)?: - Sylvain is cynical and seclusive, avoiding outside distractions to focus wholly on his studies. He is also distrusting, rarely noting anything but the negative qualities of others. Laughter is rarely heard from Sylvain, and when it is, he seldom produces more than an icy chuckle of disdain. What are their ambitions?: - To find a druid's grove, and master the Ancient Elven tongue, eventually gaining control over nature. Do they have any special skills?: - Sylvain has an incredible memory, allowing him to memorize large volumes of text, or complex patterns, and recall them at will. He also has a knack for analyzing the body language of others, allowing him to easily read emotions. What are their weaknesses?: - He is weak, even by the standards of High Elves, and has never done so much as hold a blade in his entire life, making him unskilled in combat. Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: - Standing at 6'6, with fair skin, violet eyes, and dark brown hair uncommon in High Elves, Sylvain is always seen wearing a pitch-black coat and a dark purple cowl, with the hood down.

Clan (if any): N/A Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):[/b] In Dwarven society, Zuriik had always been considered the "odd one out". When other dwarf children were learning the craft of battle, he was shut in, tinkering with all manner of metals, studying their properties. He frequently read about how to properly shape metals into various forms, because, you see, his passion lay with the forge. It had been Zuriik's dream to become a legendary dwarven smith since the age of just over one season. His father had practised the art, shared it with his son, and yet had never perfected his craft. More often than not, the blades Zuriik's father made were simply laughed at and passed by, rather than earnestly examined and bought. This caused Zuriik's family to be a poor one, and in his effort to provide, Zuriik's father became obsessed with finding "The perfect metals". He spent more and more time in various caverns, digging delusionally, instead of interacting with his son. Zuriik's father spent 4 months looking for said "perfect metals", before getting killed in a cave-in. Zuriik was just under 2 seasons old at the time. Zuriik, now almost 3 seasons of age, has set out from his home, looking for modest work as am apprentice blacksmith. Ambitions for the Future: To become a legendary Dwarven smith. Personality: Slow to warm up to others, but outgoing and merry with his close ones. Nervous in even the most inconsequential situations. Has a strong sense of justice, and acts according to what he thinks is right. Skills: Skilled in forge work. Reads and write very well. Quite intelligent. Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Dark brown beard and long hair. Wears an olive green tunic under a blue cape. Has a slight build and frame, however, blacksmithing has developed the muscles in his arms. http://www.minecraftskins.com/skin/1704017/zuriik-the-dwarf/ Any other details you wish to share about your character: Thinks ale is the best thing to ever have been invented. Ever. [b]Open-Response-Questions[/b] ____ [b]1. Whilst mining deep in the undergrounds of Kalos you see a large deposit of diamond ore at the other side of the ravine you are on. There is a very thin rock bridge that looks precariously unstable, but it is the only way to access the deposit. What do you do?[/b] Answer: Barely believing my eyes, I would twine multiple ropes together, loop them to stalagmites on my side of the chasm, and throw them around a stalagmite on the other side. I would fix another portion of rope around my waist and link it to the main structure, as a harness, and shimmy across using my hands. [b]2. You are sitting in the local tavern with a large pint of ale in your hand - sitting nearby you is a rather young dwarf whom is clearly going through a bad time. He is crying to himself, and clutching a small wooden hammer toy. In the other corner of the room two shady dwarves are sitting whispering to each other and pointing occasionally at the dwarf. They stand up, one with a small dagger in his hand and begin to approach the young dwarf. What do you do?[/b] Answer: Quickly standing up, using the façade of being terribly inebriated, my first course of action would be to state to the barkeep that " These wonderful people deserve another round of ale". I would then stand behind them, begin to push them to the bar, and slam their heads together. Once that is done, I would pick up the younger dwarf, and high-tail it out of the establishment. Once it seems like I've lost the shady dwarves, I would inquire as to why the younger dwarf was alone. [b]3. Whilst wandering through the Dwarven Caverns you hear a voice call out to you; “Oi, ye’! C’mere n’ get ye’rself an ale!”. You spin on your heel and see a heavily bearded bar-owner looking at you - a huge grin on his face, and a mug of ale in his hand. How do you react?[/b] Answer: The caverns seem to be a strange place for a bar to be located. I mean, my instincts would be to approach the barkeep, and proceed to drink the day away, but my head says otherwise. I would turn and leave, under the pretence of having important business to attend to. If the bar-owner was persistent, I would do something along the lines of swiftly fleeing, post-haste.
