Age: 25
Role-Play Exp.: RP on a few servers. RP on many other mmos.
Why Us: Love minecraft and looking to invest lots of time and effort into your server. AND I'm a huge elder scrolls fan and a bit of a LORE enthusiast so I would fit right in!
Time You Can Dedicate: 5-8 hours a day, maybe more.
Explain Role-Play In Your Own Words: Its acting out your character, in-game, not breaking character unless you have to. Its living in another world with other role-players, creating a story through conversations. You have to be open to ideas and able to act them out instantly. Its like being an actor in a play or improv. MUST work well with others!
What Is Powergaming and Metagaming? Explain in your own words:
Powergaming, it's a selfish form of RP where your only looking out for your own personal story over others. You do impossible things that don't give other players a chance to act out things the way it should be. Example: "Demonchild: "I've casted a spell on this whole server! You are all my slaves for all eternity!" or Flux: "I just killed all twenty solders in a single thrust!"
Basically its an RPers worst nightmare. Personally, i think i ruins the entire experience and it is a pain to deal with. A REAL RPer isnt afraid to act out dying or getting beaten up. The gaol is to make the RP feel real. Powergaming isn't realistic.
Metagaming: It breaks the Rp experience. Example: A man runs up on you and you see his name above his head. You say "Hi so-so" He resonds....howd you know my name? BASICALLY its using outside info that wasnt reveiled or acted out in game. It doesnn't work in the RP world. You have to let it play out first.

Angel walks over to the strange man. -Stranger: "This house here isn't locked, wanna help me raid it?" -Angel: "How about I kill you and see how many diamonds I can make selling your corpse?" The man reaches for his blade and before he does, Angel has his bow drawn with the arrow tip just pearcing the strangers throat. Blood starts to trickle down his exposed neck. -Stranger "D-D-Dont't do anything r-r-rash now! Here, take my blade! I was just leaving town anyway!" Angel pushes the arrow harder against the mans throat. -Stranger "Eeek!" -Angel: "You have 30 seconds to leave this area. If I see you trying to steal from civilians again, this arrow will accompany you to oblivion." Angel releases the pressure off the mans neck. The stranger quickly scurries out of town. Angel looks down at the bag of gold he stole off the man before the scuffle. He smiles and heads to the nearest inn for a bottle of mead.
Backstory (1-2 LONG paragraphs):
(ALSO CONTAINS A BIT OF RP DIALOG)
Angel has no exact idea of where he was born. He was found wandering the forests of northern cyrodill as a young child living off small rodents and wolfs. He was taken in by a Khajiit named Cypher that found him whilst hunting for wolf pelts. Cypher raised the yound nord as if he was his own son, seeing he had no children of his own. The Khajiit named him Angel Eyes, after his father from the land of Elsweyr. After years of hunting and tracking with his new father, he decided to leave to find where he came from. The Khajiit, knowing he would leave someday, gave him his prized hunting bow.
Angel left home and wandered through Cyrodiil and enventually into Skyrim. As he ran into various peoples he began to learn he could use his talent for tracking to hunt down criminals for bounty. Thus began his life as a bounty hunter. He was known for his stealth kills from a distance. He started to make lots of coin using his talents. He also grew very cunning. He would had fun tricking woodbe thieves out of their treasures. With the gold, came boos. He had a drinking problem. When he wasn't out on a job, he was at a pub downing mead. He traveled through most of skyrim until he came upon western Morrowind. There was lots of jobs to be had, especially bounties.
Many bounties later, he was hunting a known assassin from the Morag Tong. Known for his blood thirsty tactics, the bounty on this assassin was avoided by most. Angel was up for a new challenge. He tracked him to a hidden grotto. Once he came upon him, he caughta glimse of the assassin's face. It was his father. He knew the second he layed eyes on him. Something deep down told him that this man was his father before he was found alone in the wilderness as a small child. So many questions he had for him. His father, eating bread near a small campfire, heard his footsteps in the dark. His father, not knowing who he was but a bounty hunter, quickly sprang toward Angel to cut him down. Angel's gut instinct was to stop his father with an arrow, but froze in his tracks. The assassin noticed his hesitation and quickly bolted into the woods instead, leaving his supplies behind. Angel, still overcome with surpise fell to his knees.
The next day, after going through his father's supplies, Angel found a note. Only a few words were written. "Your wife and son are residing in Lordran." He didn't know for sure if that was refering to him or not. Angel knew based on his father's tracks that Lordran was exactally where he was headed. He needed anwsers. He followed his tracks to a small fishing village. A women was pulling a net of caught fish up onto a dock. Angel walked over to her and she jumped, startled. "Have you seen a dark hooded man lately?" Angel politely asks. The women seeing he was not to harm her replied, "Y-yes. He took my husband as a guide to sail him to Lordran. If your after that man, please make sure my husband returns safetly. He's all I have." Angel nods and replies, "I need a boat, and if I cross your husband, I will do my best." The women smiles and points to a small run down sail boat. Angel hops in the boat knowing this will be a long, interesting journey.
"Um, I don't know how to sail..." Angel realises he has no experience in the seas. The women calls out "Luggazi!" An old man looks up from a bucket of fish guts. The old man quickly hobbles over to Angel and laughs. "I've needed to get outta here for some time! If you'll let me, I'll show ya how to conquer the seas!" Angel hesistates but realizes he doesn't have much of a choice. "Ok old man, but are you sure?" The old man laughs again, "I've sailed the sea of ghosts many a times before you were even born! Lets shove off!" Angel smiles and looks off to the distance wondering what Lordran has in store from them.
