Short Response for all Applicants, write how ye

would respond:

1.) You come across a massive ruin of ancient design,

strange sounds and lights emanate from within.

Curious, I would examine the situation closely for a while, making sure that it was safe. I would come closer looking for anyone else nearby. Seeing no one, I would approach the lights hoping for something amazing and unknown to be found. This is adventure, danger is true adventure. As I approach I see users of magic performing some kind of ritual. I become afraid as monstrous sounds come from within the ruins. I know I cannot take on this power alone, I must get help. I run from the ruins yelling for help, and heading towards the nearest town to alert the guards.

 

2.)While at a local bar you see two dark hooded figures

in the corner discussing in a whispered conversation. You can't quite make out

what they're saying but you clearly hear the word "artifact".

I lean in closer listening closely after hearing the words, "artifact" I catch many phrases such as "summon the evil" and "attack the town tomorrow". I'm curious and ask a nearby man who they are and where they are from. The man tells me that they have powerful dark magic at their hands, but he doesn't know any more. After hearing this the two hooded men turn towards me and look me straight in the eye. I see scars on their faces and they appear angry. Seeing this, I leave my table and run out the door. They do not chase me, but I decide to tell my friends and the rest of the organization about this, and let them carry on.

3.)Walking down the Anthos Highway you come across a

masked man with a sword threatening a hooded figure, claiming he is a

necromancer.

When I see this man I am not sure he is a necromancer. Knowing how dangerous they are, I decide to ignore him, not making eye contact and waking right past. I have no weapons, but some food, and hide it in my pouch. He seems not to notice me, but notices a little boy running past. He chases the boy and I follow. The boy is unaware that he is behind him and comes into a clearing. Knowing this won't turn out well unless I do something, I pick up a rock and throw it at the man. It hits him square in the back of the head, and the boy is shocked. I explain to the boy that the man was going to hurt him and we run back to the main road in search of help.

Definitions
In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:

Role-playing: Taking a role of a character that never existed, but was created in your own mind. This character was put into a world that was also imagined, and the character has a unique story that was created within this world. You, as the creator must guide your character through this world and shape its story. While your character travels across great lands in exciting adventures, he is able to meet other characters that will also shape his path. As the creator, you must also become the character, as you are one. Becoming the character and creating his story is roleplaying.

Meta-gaming: Meta-gaming is not completely becoming absorbed in your character's unique story. Meta-gaming is a way of cheating yourself in order to have success within your character. Conflicting real life knowledge with character knowledge destroys the main aspects of role-playing. Role-playing is meant to create your path completely within your character, ignoring all outer experiences and only using the character's knowledge to your adventures.

Power-emoting: Power-emoting is when someone uses an action from their character that doesn't allow another to respond by choice. This would create conflict because the god-like character would be indestructible and would create weakness in others. Every character has strengths and weaknesses, and power emoting doesn't allow these traits to be shown.

Full Name: Apollo Darksmith
Current Age: 26
Sub-race (if any): Northerner
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):

Apollo Darksmith is a young man that had a rough childhood. He was born on the outskirts of Hanseti and his family was part of the normal workforce. The son of a skilled worker, he was always working hard. Apollo was great at creating things out of wood. Even though his father was a miner, he would cut lumber and craft it. He was born into a poor family with three other brothers. His father was a miner for his entire life. As the oldest, it was always his responsibility to teach his younger siblings. His father knew he had a strong son, capable of much more than you would expect. One day his father decided to teach Apollo some strategies of mining, as he knew the metals better than anyone. Apollo willingly agreed to come with his father, as he usually would only get to cut wood. Also, a snowstorm would be coming in, as the sky was dark and stormy.

As Apollo and his father rushed into the mine, his father said to him, "Be careful son, the mines are dangerous. There's a reason why I haven't taken you here until now." Apollo nodded and followed close behind. The mines were huge and streched far across the ground. A few other workers were down there that Apollo knew from his small town. He waved to them and they waved back. Now, his father brought him to a narrow path that led into a small tunnel. They were halfway down the tunnel when Apollo heard yelling from outside. Suddenly, one Undead rushed into the tunnel. Apollo tried to run, but was shoved to the side by the menacing evil's magic. The creature then proceeded to pull Apollo's father towards him and out the tunnel. He was flew across the chasm of the mine, slammed into the wall, and fell to his death. At this sight, Apollo fainted, he woke up outside the mine surrounded by the blizzard. Unknown to him or the rest of the town was the reason of this attack, and the attacker was never to be found. To this day, Apollo continues to use his skills to craft, and sometimes goes on adventures through the rough lands, but will always fear the mines.

[b]Open-Response-Questions[/b]
[i]Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.[/i]
____

[b]1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b]

Answer:
I first examine the situation, remembering what happened to my father, I know I must think fast. I study the figure closely and realize if I could stop him I could be a hero, but if he gets away he could have his revenge on me. I decide to go for it, as I know the guards will be quick. I yell at the guards shouting and pointing at the man, and I rush at him diving and tackling him. The guards run towards me, and help me up, holding the man down. They remove his hood and discover a well-known criminal due to the scar across his face. Taking him away for interrogation, the guards praise my action and tell me I shall be rewarded.

[b]2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]

Answer:
I try to save the man, knowing that any second of thinking would mean his death. I slash and one of the bandits, and he backs off. The other one runs towards his companion and they disappear into the darkness. I ask the old man, "Are you okay?". Suddenly, he smiles and tries to stab me, the bandits come out from the darkness and I realize it was a trap. They strip me clean of my possessions and I am forced to return home humilated and empty handed.

[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]

Answer:

I see that the man is selling beef and examine I ask to examine the pieces. They appear to be fresh, and I offer a very low price. The man answers, "Sure that will do, sounds like a good deal!" I know that the man has no idea how much the meat is worth, but knowing he is low on money, and it isn't often where someone gives him this good a deal, I take the opportunity. Cheating this man wasn't necessary, but I chose to do so because I needed the cheap food desperately, and survival of the fittest is what keeps me alive in this world.
