Bishop Application

How did you find out about Anubis RP?
I had a previous player/character that I played with for a few months on PixelatedRP switch to Anubis and told me it was really great and he enjoyed it immensely. He was a great RPer and convinced me to switch, as well as my RL brother and friend playing.

What is your age and nationality?
31, American

What is your primary characters role? [EMS/Civilian/Police]
Civilian

What is your primary character’s backstory and characteristics?
An egotistical ex-lawyer who reached the peak of his game years ago. No longer able to practice law and being disgracefully disbarred from the bench, as well as disbarred, he now holds on to his glory days as a powerful and respected judge. With no money and no friends to help him, he clings to the hope that one day he may return to serve the "city" of Los Santos and pass his exam and be reinstated to practice law as a lawyer or judge should that be the case.

You are hanging out with your friends and a car pulls up behind you, someone gets out with their gun drawn on you. The person tells you to put your hands up or else they will kill you, they then ask for you to get in the vehicle. What would you say and do in this situation?
I immediately put my hands up out of fear for life. I am certainly surprised because I have no known enemies, and begrudgingly accept to comply to their demands, not because I don't want to be kidnapped, but because now that is longer I have to wait to start drinking bourbon and reminisce in my glory days.

Do you understand acting salty to officers when arrested and rushing them to process you is not considered valid RP, that “breaking character,” or acting “immature” even when someone appears to have broken rules around you, is punishable?
Yes, and I agree. I believe OOC and IC interactions should be entirely separate and find that most of the time this meta  behavior ruins RP for everyone involved.

When is a good time to break character?
Only unless it is 100% necessary, ie; game-breaking bug (hidden corpse) or somehow unable to communicate the problem in-character.

What should you do if you’re arrested by the police and you lose power during the process?
Reach out via Discord to let PD know you encountered an issue and let them know you will be ready for processing as soon as you are able to return.

If you’re robbing a store with a hostage, how would your character deal with the police and the situation at hand if surrounded?
My character would not want to hurt anyone directly, and most likely use the hostage to negotiate terms of surrender or allowing my character time to escape the situation he certainly did not want to be a part of. My character would never go out "guns blazing" in a reckless manner.

Do you stream, use YouTube, or other social media? If so, can you tell us about it?
FB/TW/IG for personal use, no streaming of my games as of yet. Thought about Twitch but that is to-come.

Please explain why meta gaming is bad
It ruins the RP experience for multiple people involved. You should act as your character in-game and behave that you are truly in a city full of millions of people. Having meta knowledge takes the fun out of RP with other players, and often leads to power gaming or an outcome that heavily favors one party.
