Writing Sample:
Write a post for your character, showing their reaction to be trapped in the AO world. This can be as short or long as you want, but it should give me a feel for your character’s personality and their general goals (it can be as simple as just wanting to get back home).

Class: Novice
Level: 9

Stats: You start with 60. Written below are general applications for what each stat can do, though specific skills/spells/items may be effected by different stats.

HP - Calculated after acceptance.
MP - Calculated after acceptance.

Str - Determines melee damage, speed, and weapon usage.
Dex - Determines ranged damage, accuracy, and avoidability.
Vit - Determines hp, regeneration, and physical damage resistance.
Int - Determines number of spells/skills known, mp regeneration, and weapon usage.
Will - Determines spell damage, mana pool, and spell resistance
Cha - Determines bonds with summons/pets, NPC interaction, and luck.

Skills/Spells:
You gain a number of skills/spells based on your Intelligence score. You get a basic (Rank E) skill for every 2 points of Int you have. Higher skill ranks have higher incremental costs (2 - 4 - 8 - 16 - 32 - 64). Spells have similar cost, though the lowest cost spell is worth the same as a D rank skill (4).

Inventory:
Steel Sword
Traveler’s Tunic
Health Potion [10]

Storage:
150 gemstones

Combat
AO places its players within a completely immersive virtual world, meaning much of combat actually relies upon the player's reaction time and judgement. However, they are still effected by their character stats, which controls what their avatar is physically capable of. Though they can acquire new skills and spells through a high Intelligence score, these will also come naturally to the player through level progression, quest rewards, and other similar means.

Melee Fighting
Melee fighting is the most common form of combat within AO. Though ability to dodge and how quickly you strike can depend on player skill, it is also largely based on both your Str and Dex stats. Damage with a melee weapon adds 1.5x Str stat unless specified otherwise by a skill or weapon. Shields and armor will mitigate damage from both melee and ranged attacks, though will only protect wielders from physical damage unless stated otherwise.

Ranged Fighting
​While accuracy is largely dependent on an individual player's ability to aim, a player increasing their Dex stat can increase the distance they can see and how quickly they can perceive enemies. Firearms will usually add their Dex to damage, though bows use a combination of both Dex/2 and Str. Unless using a weapon that specifies otherwise, or negated by a skill, enemies will take less damage the further away they are. The exceptions to this rule are rifles, which do not have any damage falloff.

Critical Hits
Unlike many games, AO's critical hits are not based on a random number generator. Instead, there are a number of critical "zones" that can be located on both monsters and players characters. Striking in any of these zones will result in a critical hit. Critical zones are normally not visible, though they can be seen via special skills or spells. Area of effect attacks and spells cannot crit. A critical zone may not always appear, some will only show up after certain requirements have been triggered i.e. when an enemy is using a special attack or after a monster's outer shell has been removed. Unless altered by a weapon or skill, critical hits deal twice the amount of damage the attack would normally do.

Elemental Damage
A lot of weapons and spells within AO have a specific element attached to them. Unless specified otherwise, elemental damage does not increase the damage of an attack. However, certain monsters can be either resistant or vulnerable to certain elemental types. Knowing which types of enemies you are strong against will allow you to farm and level up quicker.
