Define Role-Playing in your words: Roleplaying is taking the life of another and controlling it. Chosing what this person does, what they feel, and how they act. It gives you the option to be someone completely different from you, to act as someone else.
Define Meta-gaming in your words: Meta gaming is using information you gained through OOC and using it ICly, for example, Joe hears Luke shout in OOC, “I’m at the bridge.” Joe goes to Luke.
Define Power-gaming in your words: Power gaming is placing actions on another player without their consent, for example: *Chops off his head*, the correct way would be, *Attempts to chop off his head*

IC:
Name: Carter Cliff
Nickname: (Optional)
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Appearance: Often seen wearing a long duster with large black boots. He occasionally wears gloves and has a bandana to place over his mouth to avoid the toxicity of the waste. He has shaggy brown hair that reaches to about his eye brows. His eyes are bright green and his face has some minuscule scars. He has fair stubble on his face, like most wastelanders, it’s hard to keep a clean face. His skin tone is tanned Caucasian. He stands about 5’11 and weighs about 180 lbs. He is in fair condition for a wastelander.
Personality: Once you know him he begins to open up to you and will talk to you if he thinks it will benefit you. He isn’t shy, but he isn’t the life of the party. He doesn’t express much emotion and he usually has the same expression on his face. He is considered ‘Lawful’ neutral. He may make bad choices but most of his choices are for the better of him and others.
Background: (Detailed and in-depth, 2 paragraphs)
(I decided to do my background in first person, as if he is telling the story, I hope you don’t mind.)
The man would sit at the fire, staring into it and then gazing to his guest through the fire.
“I bet you’re wondering my story eh….?” He would shuffle a deck of cards in his hand.
“I suppose I have time.”
“I was born in the state of Montana, very peaceful there, quiet and rarely any dangers. That’s what it was like for the first eight or nine years of my life. As far as I can remember I really enjoyed living there, hell, who wouldn’t? It all changed one day when the super mutants started to move in closer to our village, my parents, two brothers and I had no other choice but to move farther down the state, pretty much in Wyoming. We resigned in a town called ‘Coldwater’ and that is where I spent the rest of my child hood.
I started tracking down the wildlife around that area with groups of others, it was a decent job, especially when we hunted large game. The caps were plentiful for someone of my age. That was where I met my best friend, Rory. He was only a few years older than me, and he was always one to go after the caps. You would be surprised what this kid would do to make a few caps, he was starting to make more caps than my family combined.
One day Rory came up with an idea, he heard about a distant city known as ‘New Vegas.” We could gamble and win it all, it was the zone for the richest people around. It was our goal. By then I was seventeen and Rory was twenty. The family didn’t need me personally, all I did was hunt once in a while, so think about how proud they would be when I came back with millions of caps…..I was so naïve back then.
I knew nothing about card games but on our travels towards New Vegas, Rory began teaching me tricks and tips, every night before bed we would play a card game and practice. It took us around seven months or so to reach New Vegas, but eventually we did.
The city was beautiful, so much electricity in one place, I didn’t think it was possible…it was like those old stories you hear about the pre-war times. Rory and I started making little to no cash, only playing in low end casinos and what not. It was hard living in the rougher end of the city, someone would go nuts every night. Luckily for us, our winnings would buy us a night in a hotel plus a few extra spending caps. Don’t get me wrong, some nights we had to sleep outside, taking turns sleeping, but eventually we would win our money back. Within a few years we actually made enough to get into the strip, where the big ballers played. It was also the worst decision of our lives….we should of stayed in the freeside.
We started the same gig over again working our way up in the food chain, making enough for a room and way more spending money. Saving it wasn’t much of a plan though now, it was usually spent on alcohol and the occasionally set up of jet. We were living life, hell I even met a girl name Lumen there….we fell in love, spent a good three years together there. All was perfect until one night we went up against the wrong gamblers.
They were known as the “Santos Brothers.” A group of highly feared gamblers, the ones that never lost….funny thing is we beat them and took most of their caps for the night. That was when things started getting rough, we would start receiving death threats from the group of brothers, the three of them had a lot of connections through the city, many people that would kill for some extra caps….and kill is what they did. One night after I took Lumen out for dinner I came home to bloody mess…Rory was dead and in his hands was his card deck. One card was taking out and placed on Rory’s body….the King of Clubs. The pain that caused me, I didn’t know what to do, my life was ruined I had to leave New Vegas and get out of there. Lumen would soon follow days later after attempts of assassination on her.
Together we would begin to hike out of the New Vegas proximity and within a month time we would find ourselves at Goodsprings, taking cover there. It wouldn’t be until a few months later that the Santos brothers would strike again, killing Lumen while I was out hunting one night. I came home to her dead….it was….unexplainable how I felt….that’s the problem with me…I think too much and feel too little. I never understood love, I wasn’t sure if I did love her in the moment she was taken from me….that’s when I knew I loved her….but it was too late. I packed up my belongings…that was when Rory’s deck of cards fell out of my pocket, I picked it up and looked at the first card… the queen of hearts. I shut my eyes and placed it on Lumen’s body.
With the Santos brothers still around I had no other option but to retaliate, running was not an option. It took me a while to track them down, but eventually I found one of them, the youngest one in a town known as Primm, it didn’t take me long to pull out a pistol and send a bullet through his skull. I shuffled the deck looking and drew a random card, it was the eight of diamonds. I placed it on his corpse and left.
I returned to New Vegas and hunted down the other two brothers, it took me over a month to find one but all that waiting was worth it. While he walked in the freeside I took out a shotgun and blasted a hole in him….you wouldn’t believe how relieved I was to see that torso rip apart. I drew a card, Jack of Spades, and placed it upon his body, running off into the night.
It was at this point that the last brother was fully aware of my revenge, he decided to take a few men and skip town, that wouldn’t stop me though. I tracked him down, two years later I found him in the old state of California, in a ruined town known as Fresno. His guards would come back to his body laying on the ground, a hole in his head, and the ten of hearts laying on his chest.
I assumed his guards have given up and stopped perusing me, it has been over two years since then, I have yet to every hear of the Santos brothers again. The past two years I have been living a quiet life, scavenging what I can and selling what I can. Which brings me to now…I have little to no caps, my pistol just broke and the most valuable thing on me is a deck of cards. Did I choose this life? No, but it’s what my life is now, it is what I have learned to deal with. But enough about me…”
Carter would stand up kicking out the ashes of the fire.
“Let’s go find your owner.” He would say looking at the dog across from his quietly wagging his tail. Together the two would start walking, a broken red bridge in the distance.
In-game RP example: (Include dialog)
*Carter would walk up to the building, kicking over some rubble in the way.*
“I know you are in here Santos…….”
*Noises can be heard from inside the building.*
*Carter would begin to enter the building, his pistol already wielded.*
*Santos would hide in the darkness of the building.*
*Carter would not notice him, mocking him saying, ‘Come out where ever you are.”*
*Santos would attempt to knock Carter out with a crowbar*
*The blow would hit Carter’s head sending him to the ground, the pistol flying out of his hand.*
*Santos would dive for the pistol*
*Carter would attempt to wrestle Santos for the pistol*
*Santos holds on tight to the gun*
*Carter would attempt to punch Santos in the head with his free arm*
*The punch would hit sending Santos to the ground, his grip loosening on the gun, enough for Carter to overpower.*
*Carter would aim the gun at his head, attempting to finish him*
*The bullet would protrude Santos’ cranium as he falls down dead*
*Carter would get up, shuffling the deck of cards and drawing the Ten of Hearts.*
*He would place it upon the body*
“It’s finally over.”

Hope you like the app.

In-game RP example: (Include dialog) *Jane enters and notices Jethro
Jane *raises the bow towards Jethro* “Drop everything you have, or I will fire! “
Jethro “Relax, we are both on the same side, no one has to get hurt here”
*Jane hesitates with the bow*
Jane “I am serious, I have killed people in the past for their possessions”
Jethro “So you would kill a poor hopeless man like me? On a hunch that I have even the slightest bit of food, or valuables?”
Jane “Its killed or be killed out here, haven’t you understood that yet? If you want something, you have to kill people for it.”
Jethro “That’s your opinion, I have traveled from one side of this land to the other, and I have seen many people like you. People that are scared, and so the use their own fear on others in others to survive. But then, there are people like me, people who understand the meaning of life, whom understand how to resolve problems, to put out the fire, not make it burn brighter”

Jethro “Hmmm, I am sorry you made this decision” *Snaps his fingers*
*Felix steps out of the shadows and attempts so plunge the sword into Jane's back*
*The sword enters quickly into Jane's back, as she falls to the ground dead*
Jethro “That’s too bad, I thought she would be a good recruitment…..”
Background: (Detailed and in-depth, 2 paragraphs. Also, explain how you came to be in Akavir.)
It has always been a dreaded life for Jethro, after immigrating to Skyrim from Cyrodiil to escape warfare, his father and mother finally settled down. Jethro missed Cyrodiil a lot, but learned to let go of it, his new life was in Skyrim, where his father would sell large fur coats for non-nord travelers. Jethro helped his father make the coats and sell them, and he was a decent salesmen as well. For what adventure could say no to a hopeless smile of a young child. His dad would send Jethro around the village selling, and receiving profits, making a fair share of gold. One dreaded day, his father brought him out hunting for the first time, then went close to the river and spotted an elk. His father told him to shoot the bow, like he taught him. Sure enough the arrow plunged into the elk's neck and bleed out before it could get very far. "Go get your prize" his father said to him, gesturing at the dead elk. Jethro walked through the cold river, he was about knee deep half way, then he finally caught to the other side. He found the elk, and exclaimed, "Look father I did it!" But his father wasn't listening, for a group of orc bandits had attacked him. All Jethro could do was hide, wait, and watch as his father's body plunged into the river.
More then 12 years has passed, and Jethro has managed to take over his father's business to provide for his mother. He stopped hunting though, and would only buy the fur, he never went hunting after that tragic day. Season after season developing coats for travelers. Receiving the bear minimum of gold to survive, then one dreadful day his mother passed away. Jethro had no more reason to stay in Skyrim, he was done with crafting coats, he wanted a new life, that was when he overheard talk of Akavir, and in less then a month he was at the boarder.

Background: Jethro was only 12 years old when his family’s community was breached by raiders. More than fifteen member s of friends and families died that night. Out of the few that survived, Jethro was the youngest. He, along with four others fled miles away from his community where they rested for the night, in hopes that they wouldn’t be murdered in his sleep. The next morning the five of them set out to look for other communities, and after a week of travelling they finally found a small town. Surprisingly this town wasn’t attacked by raiders yet. They were welcomed to stay for a while until they could save up enough supplies until they moved on. They stayed in the town for three weeks, until the made enough money doing cheap labour. The finally bought one of the Brahmins from the town, and a few supplies from the town, and left. That was the day, when they became travelling merchants, caravans.
Years went by, and they travelled very far, making a descent amount of money. Finally they made it to the gates of New Vegas. During their time crossing the Mojave wasteland, they only lost one man, due to an ambush of radscorpions. Jethro, and his caravan made enough money to hire body guards, and life seemed to by doing well, much better than his life back in the raider invested town. All good things must come to an end though. New Vegas went haywire and it was no place for business now, they had to move once again. They moved to the State of Utah, or at least what was left of it, but things were bad there. Within a couple of years there, raiders took over his caravan and killed everyone part of it. Jethro was the only survivor left, he now lives in the ruins of Utah, hoping to find peace with his life and one day, maybe even starting his caravan again.

For starters, you have really poor grammar, and grammar is one of the most important aspects of Roleplaying.....along with maturity. I for one can't tell how mature you are over a little post... but most 12 year olds are not ( No offense) Secondly.... please EXPAND YOUR BIO..... I don't know how many time we must fret this. Maybe if put more thought into your Application (Most importantly your bio) and you re-due your app by fixing up the grammar then maybe we might accept you....but for now you are denied.

Have you ever been banned from any Minecraft Server? If yes why so? Nope
Character Biography: (Be sure to include how old they are in game. What they did before there death, and how they died.) The days never get easier for a man named Jethro, why would it? He was 25 years old, had close to nothing within in bank and was starting to get back into drugs again. Thats how life was like for him in Los Angles, nothing but trouble. He would attempt to try to stop misusing narcotics, but by next week he was shooting needles into him on his torn up couch, in his barley standing apartment. His minimum wage job at the local corner store was enough money to support for him and his addictions, and one day he found himself in a subway terminal. Two local drug dealers came up to him, "You owe us big time my friend," said one of the men. Jethro replied simply saying, "I swear I will get it to by the end of the week" Sadly the two men disagreed with him, punched him in the head and through him down on to the subway tracks. The last words he remembered were, "Too late, your time is up, no one messes with the Traids." Then he saw a light coming towards him, and he was no more.
You fight for survival, with no food and your starving. You come across a hut in the Jungle, You enter and see a lit fire, however no one is around. Do you steal the supplies? or leave them be? In order to survive, Jethro would take some of the food, and leave a little bit for whoms hut this is.
You see someone heavily armored coming to attack you and your friends. Do you fight them? Or run at an attempt to save your life? Jethro is not a good fighter, in most cases he would run into the forest and hope to lose them.
You meet a strange hooded man offering you supplies, you see he has a bag with something in it. What do you do? Stay your distance and tell him to leave the stuff on the ground and walk away, and proceed to get the supplies with caution.
You come across a tomb, dark and quiet and huge in size, you see the edges lined with diamond plates. A sign reads "Enter if you dare". What is your first thought? Hell, there has got to be some way off this island? Maybe this is it, lets enter.
HOPE YOU ACCEPT
