4. Have you read the King's Law, Tome of Citizenship, Official Lore, and the Survival Guides yet? Yes
5. In your own words, how would you define metagaming and powergaming?
Metagaming, is for example taking some information that you receive outside of the limitations of IC, and then use that within IC, and that kind of makes a hole in the RP.
Powergaming, like Metagaming, is about missing the point of RP. It's when a person focuses on achievements without realizing that the road to these achievements is a part of the journey. It would look something like this: "I defeated your army and took your crown." It does not include any of the steps towards that end result, it is a premature jump.

No, you do not

8. Tell us about yourself!
I'm a type of person that does not appreciate the fast games that do not have any type of work to do over a long period of time - I like games where you slowly progress and after a long time, you can observe your work and be satisfied. On a more personal level, I like to play chess, I am interested in computer programming, ancient history, and I like to take walks around the city at four in the morning. Pfft... I don't know what else to say. I'm not really talkative, or social. I'm about to become a student (this year) and I'm looking forward to that.
9. Do you have any examples of your work?
No, I do not
10. Did anyone refer you? If not, how did you find our server?

Character Name:
Merek the Merciful
Character Age:

Written Test!
Merek was born to a family that had close memories of the events following the Great Exodus, a family living in fear and uncertainty. Because of this, they have been less successful than the other families living on the frontier, in every way imaginable. Merek's father taught him to be different, and not place limitations upon himself and others. Merek followed not in the footsteps of his family, but followed his father's advice, even from childhood, Merek ran and ran, as far as his legs could carry him, to the most distant fields. He loved to explore, place torches in unlit caves, and advance his knowledge of mining, and extending his crafting skills. Still, in him, there was almost an inherited sense of fear and uncertainty, which he fought to suppress all these years, but which eventually won over him in a way that he didn't expect or hope for - in a positive way. He refused to unite with the rest of the colonies due to distrust, but had an incredible will to form his own settlement, and by himself secure the future of Altera, not depending upon others, but by his own hands, living by himself and sharing with others, an altruist by heart. His only concern was his brother, who he feared may come and cause him harm, one day or another. The two of them were in the field one day, when they were little, when Merek performed better than his brother at a farming event. Seeing this, his brother feared for his future in a competitive post-catastrophe society, knowing that Merek was more capable of providing for the family than him. Merek was not exceptional at farming, only better than his brother. Who would receive the possessions of the family, Merek, or he, who was the firstborn? In rebellion, he left for the woods, and returned not. And ever since that happened, Merek has lived in fear that his brother would come to hunt him down in a senseless fight for territorial possession. In the later years, all of Merek's family died following a devastating volcanic eruption, of which time has erased all traces, as they were eating and drinking peacefully in a wooden house of his Uncle, Sadon. Following this gruseome and tragic event, Merek spent days crying, and months grieving in the darkness of a cave, with no one to accompany him except for his beloved sheep. He lives on in the woods, alone, working and providing material to the people of Altera, doing his part in the advancement of civilization.
