Definitions This is simply so that we can get an understanding of how much you know about roleplaying. Feel free to Google the answers, but make sure that you write the reply in your own words, not another website / person's! What is roleplaying?: - Roleplaying is acting out or performing a particular role for a character that you have created. You are in control of their actions and personality.
What’s metagaming?: - Metagaming is performing or saying an OOC action that your character is not meant to know exists while playing in RP. For an example, my character should not be talking about the internet or latest thing on the news while in RP chat.
What’s powergaming?: - Powergaming is when you state you performed an action upon another character without giving them a chance to react, and that your action was successful towards them. For an example, if my character says “I aimed my bow at you and shot you in the chest. The arrow struck your heart killing you instantly”, that would be powergaming. My character didn’t give the other character a say in this situation which is unfair to them.

Give us a brief description of their life - their story, childhood, family (Include server lore when writing): -
Faye grew up in Malinor with her mother and father. Her mother was a well-known artist and many elves bought and admired her work. Faye would sit with her mother outside for hours watching her capture the wonders of nature. She felt at peace hearing her mother hum and the gentle brush strokes gliding across the canvas. Her mother would often tell her stories of her childhood or of the mysteries of the great forests of Anthos. Her favorites were about the mysterious Fairy Rings. Other times, her mother would teach her some Ancient Elven, which Faye took great interest in. She was fascinated by that fact that the language was said to give one the power to converse with nature directly. Faye began painting alongside her mother and discovered she had inherited her mother’s talent. Painting was an activity they both enjoyed and a special time of mother daughter bonding between the two.
Her mother was also a healer, and Faye loved travelling with her to find different herbs in the woods. They also grew their own herbs in their home. When Faye’s father suffered a burn injury, Faye and her mother went to collect the delicate Aqua Nymph plant, which is a remedy for burns. They prepared it ever so carefully and boiled it thoroughly, as it’s dangerous when consumed in its natural form.
As much as Faye loved the tranquility of painting and helping her mother collect herbs, something inside her ached for adventure. She would often run off into the forest exploring and finding neat little things to put in her pouch. She loved spying on animals and watched quietly as they played and searched for food. Slowly she introduced herself to the animals and they slowly trusted her. Eventually she could walk through the forest without them fleeing to their dens. Rather, they came up to her and she’d sit with a little fawn in her lap and talk and sing to them. Her love for nature deepened immensely and she knew she had developed a special connection with it. Many elves noticed her special talents with nature at the Celebration of Nature’s Boon. She loved the holiday and it was her favorite time of the year.
As she grew older she began watching her father and the other Elven men practice archery. Her father was a well-known archer and often trained younger Elven men how to properly hold and shoot a bow. One day as Faye was watching her father work with a young boy at his aim, she began to have the urge to try the bow herself, even though she was far too young still. She wanted to be like her father and the other Elves, so she snuck over to the weapon rack and grabbed a smaller sized bow. She knew exactly how to hold it and how to stand properly as well, because of her careful observation of her father. As her father was handing the boy another arrow, Faye took her chance and quickly ran up next to the boy and shot at the target. The arrow struck hard right in the center, and the boy’s mouth flew open in shock. Her father was at a loss for words. He knew his daughter was far too young to even handle a small bow, but she proved him wrong. Faye began training with her father every day. He taught her his skills and she learned well and quickly. She had natural talent with the weapon and an extremely accurate aim. When she came of age, Faye and her father hand crafted and carved a beautiful bow, which she uses to this day.
What are they like (personality)?: - Faye is friendly and kind. She often notices the little things or details that most ignore or just don’t see. She’s clever, smart, and a fast learner. She has great respect for her elders and her Elven culture.
What are their ambitions?: - Faye wants to become a master at archery and be able to venture out and see the marvels of Anthos.
Do they have any special skills?: - Faye has special skills with animals and nature. She has a deep love and understanding for the beauties and wonders of it. She’s gentle, but can be extremely fierce when needed. She has high accuracy aim and is excellent with a bow. She’s a very fast runner with high stamina and stealth, which allows her to move through the forest without even being heard. She’s
agile and good at climbing trees.
What are their weaknesses?: - She has sensitivity to seeing cruelty towards animals and nature. She gets extremely angry and gets involved with the situation right away to stop it. When it’s not possible for her to do anything about it, she feels miserable and guilty which often puts her into a weak state.
Give us a description of how they look (not a screenshot yet!)?: - Faye has a tall and lean stature, very graceful in appearance. She’s about 5”8 in height and 125 lbs. She has light fair skin and long silky blond hair that flows down past her waist in waves. She has bright green eyes that often turn different shades of green depending on her mood.
Anything else you want to say about them?: - She loves horses, they are her favorite animal. She enjoys the flight like feeling while riding them and admires their grace and strength. She also loves the rain.
