Definitions
In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:
Role-playing: Playing as another character in fiction or in real life, such as if I were to go online to a game and play as either a character already in existence, or one of my own.
Meta-gaming: Using knowledge that the player knows to help out their character, when the character in game could not have known. Like, if you knew that in someone's house there was a diamond sword, but your character didn't, and you took the sword anyway.
Power-emoting: Not giving a player a chance to react to a given situation. I.e. typing: Player A kills Player B instead of Player A attempts to shoot Player B with an arrow.
In-Character Information:
Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Avlour Clunir
Current Age: 276
Sub-race (if any): Wood Elf
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): He never knew his real parents (who were supposedly professors), as they supposedly died in a terrible explosion. However, his aunt and uncle, who he lived with, refused to let him see any papers, artifacts, etc belonging to his biological parents. When he was just 40 years old, his uncle died in a wild boar attack, and his aunt perished from sadness. He was then taken up by his neighbor, who claimed that his parents’ death was no accident.
When he turned 100, his neighbor gave him his own bow and a bunch of maps and told him to explore. Exploration, as it was explained to him, was the only way to uncover what truly happened to his parents. After he moved out, he built a little arts shop where he sold paintings and item frames, with his bedroom on the second floor. He then took the maps and copied them, and along with the paintings, he has sold most of them in order to make enough money to buy supplies to fully explore the land.
Ambitions for the Future: To explore all of Malinor and find out what happened to his parents.
Personality: Kind-hearted, caring, loves to laugh, adventurous.
Skills: Painting, making maps, getting lost, making clothes (leather armor)
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Blonde hair, tan skin, dark-dark brown eyes, wears a white lab-style coat as a paint shirt (you can’t really tell from the picture, but my elf ears extend slightly from my head.)
Any other details you wish to share about your character: He may be a younger elf, but he has experienced more than his share of troubles, and it has given him wisdom beyond his youth.

____
1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of older elves are mocking a small elven child. How do you react?
Answer: I immediately ran up, and whilst ignoring the other elves, I knelt down and asked the child what happened. The poor thing explains to me that these older elves, who happened to be high elves, were picking on him because his blood “was tainted” by wood elf blood. I stood up, turned to the kids, and asked them their reasoning. They then repeated what the child said, only afterwards, one made a snide comment directed at me. I simply replied that I felt bad for the high elves, for it must be difficult to lie about their perfection 24/7. Before any of them could reply, I picked up the child, and after asking where he lived, walked over to his parents’ house and I dropped him off. I explained to his parents what happened, and after they said thanks, I walked down the same path, smiling at the ignorant kids as I passed them.
2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?
Answer: I looked around to make sure no danger was eminent, and then proceeded to pick up his coins. I tried to put them back into the pouch, but it was ripped open, so I stuffed the coins and the pouch in my pants pocket. I then walked over to the old man, who couldn’t have been younger than 80, and half picked up, half drag the old man to the nearest inn, which, due to walking that path often, I remembered exactly where it was (and for the first time managed NOT to get lost). All I had to do was walk in to the inn with the man, and the owner immediately went over to a spare room and helped me set him down. I then locked all of his gold coins in the chest, and proceeded to get the man water and food. After an hour, he was healthy enough that I could leave, and I told him that if he ever needs help, to send me a letter, or have someone run over to my house/shop.
3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).
Answer:
I immediately noticed an ancient-looking map, along with a broken sword. I asked him what it would cost for the two of
them, and he laughed. He replied by say
that “Those two pieces of trashes were hardly worth two gold coins, but the
trouble that it took to get these items will bump up the cost at least five
gold coins more!” I said that at the
most, the ancient map was maybe worth three, but the sword was only worth one,
as it was only iron, and rusted iron at that.
“No,” he said, “the total cost is 7 coins, but I may be able to lower it
to five, since you aren’t entirely wrong.
I won’t go lower than that, as the map was handed down from me
grandfather, and the sword was from a famous dwarven smith.” I reluctantly agreed with the price, and
after looking at the map, I realized that the price I paid was actually a
fraction of what the map was worth; it was an ancient map of a place long
forgotten! However, to this day, I don’t know where it starts, nor where to
even start looking for this mysterious place.
