Adamo was born and raised in Kansas, learning how to hunt from his father while he farmed to earn money for his family. Adamo was hit hard by the sudden death of his family in that tragic fire at the farm, causing him to move on, where he found Palomino. He thought he found somewhere to relax and get away from it all.

Role Play

Explain what is role play and its basics: Roleplay (RP) is playing the role of a character on either a game server such as VH-RP, or it could be in real life, such as LARPing. The character doesn't necessarily have to be the embodiment of the player, neither does it have to be some sort of gargantuan superhero, it can merely be a way of escaping from the stresses of RL and having fun by being somebody else and determining their actions in that particular world/setting.

Explain what is meta game and give two different examples:
Metagame is the process of using OOC information ICly, for example.

Random Name 1: Hi there Bill!
Bill: How do you know my name?
Random Name 1: I can see it above your head!

As you can see there is a combination of 2 forms of metagame, one example is the fact that Random Name 1 discovered Bills name by reading the ID floating above his head (which wouldn't be there RPly) and the use of smilies ICly.

Another form of metagame would be to gather information OOCly via PMs and then use this to your advantage, for example.

(PM)Random Name 2: Hey dude where are you?
(PM)Fred: I'm at the red bridge in Palomino, being arrested :/
~~~Moments Later~~~
Random Name 2 arrives at the bridge firing at the officers trying to arrest Fred

Explain what is power game and give two different examples:
Powergame is the process of practically being superman. For example

Derek stares into the distance, lost inside his own mind
Eric tries to tackle Derek from behind
Derek darts left as Eric tries to tackle him, avoiding his tackle attempt.

In real life this would be impossible, due to the fact Eric has the element of surprise and Derek is daydreaming.

Another example:
Derek aims his Remington 870AE at Eric and fires a shot at him
Eric gets shot square in the face and drops to the ground
Eric gets back up slowly and rubs his head, unholstering his gun and firing at Derek

This is a blatant example of powergame, no person could take a gunshot to the face and get back up to then proceed to shoot their attacker.

Explain what is "gun from ass":
Gun from ass is the term used for when somebody scrolls through to a two handed weapon and then proceed to RPly use that weapon, for example John wants to use his M4 in an RP situation, however he doesn't have it in his hands, so he merely uses the mouse wheel to select it instead of RPly unslinging it from his back using /me actions. Below is how it should be

John notices the event in front of him
John grabs his M4 and unslings it from his back and flicks the safety off
(( John scrolls to his M4 ))
(( John proceeds to use the M4 in the RP situation ))
Give an example of a good detailed role play /me:
/me runs towards the man, panting heavily with sweat pouring down his back, attempting to use his bodyweight to tackle his victim and pin him on the ground

Give an example of a bad role play /me:
/me attempts to tackle "man" ((S/F??????))
