[b]1. Whilst in the
mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure
stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s
palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b]
Answer: Jarin runs up to one of the guards and whispers "Keep an
eye out for that man who just walked in." the guard nods his head
slightly, and walks into the palace. Jarin walks close behind him. Once inside
the palace they notice the shady figure again. the guard yells "Stop right
there!" and the figure bolts to the left, only to be stopped by two more
guards standing by the door to the dining room. The assassin pulls out a knife,
and stabs one of the two guards by the dining room in the chest. The guard let
out an agonizing cry before falling to the ground. The other guards rush
him, and the guard Jarin warned earlier stabbed the assassin through his back
with his sword. The guards thanked Jarin for warning them, and two guards
carried the wounded guard to a healer.
[b]2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large
clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armor and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]
Answer: Jarin realizes that the old man could be in danger, and walks
toward the cobbled cabin. Jarin then realizes that one of the bandits is
sheathing his sword, in retaliation Jarin charges the man and stabs him in the
back with his Longsword. The other bandit jumped back and sheathed his sword,
Jarin went for his hip, but the bandit was too fast and cut Jarin’s cheek. Jarin
retaliated and sliced off the bandits head. The old man came up to Jarin,
shaking but not harmed and thanked him for saving his life from the bandits.
[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human
capital when you notice a small man standing behind a
colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]
Answer: Jarin approaches the stall and see’s a steel sword sitting on a shelf in the stall
“How much for that sword?” says Jarin “Well what price were you thinking of?”
Replied the merchant “How about 70 minas?” the merchant picks up the sword and
puts it the front counter. “Well… I could let it go for about 80 minas, but no
less.” Jarin only had 70 minas in his pocket at the time “Well I’m not going
any higher than 70 minas.” The merchant
looks at him with a sneer “This is fine sword lad, I’m not just going to let it
go for 70 minas!” Jarin had to think of something quick, swords like the one
the merchant was selling don’t come around that often, because it was a really
fine sword indeed. “I think I will just go to that stall on the other side of
the street and buy a sword, he is selling them for about 65 minas each.” Says
Jarin with a grin “65 minas! For a steel sword! No one would sell a sword like
that at that price!” Yells the merchant “Fine. 70 minas for the sword.” Jarin
hands the merchant the money which he quickly snatched, and handed Jarin the
sword. “Pleaser doing business with you.” And with that Jarin walked away with
his brand new steel sword.

Role-playing:

Meta-gaming:
- When someone takes something they know OOC and uses it to their characters advantage IC
Power-emoting:
- I've never heard it called this. I'm guessing this is the same as god modding? If so than its when you take control of some others characters against their will.
-- It could also be power playing.. which is when you make your character all powerful, not able to be hit, the best evah. And so on.

1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react?
Answer:
- Aliel's footsteps landed gently on the leaf covered ground. The faint noise of voices caught her attention, taking her to a scene that unfolded before her. A small child, mali'ame, was practicing with his bow and doing rather horribly. It was showing on his face his frustration and how upset he was by those that were mocking him. A small group a High Elves. Ali's pale gray face darkened as her eyes narrowed. First she would help the child, then she would deal with the Mali'aheral.
Ali walked up to the child who had again missed his target of an apple on a log. He looked over at her, scared at first but she kneeled down and coo'd softly, "Shh look. Can I help?" She asked, holding out her hands toward the young boy. He sniffs, wiping away some fallen tears and nods holding out his bow and an arrow. Instead of taking it, Ali stands next to him. She took the next few minutes to show the boy a better stance, and he shot the apple on his next few shots. When he went to thank her, she was already gone. Facing against the High Elves who were mocking the boy.
"I don't know who you are, but I know who you think you are. You are not that here. And your fun is over. Look, the boy made the shot. Now if you could kindly be on your way, I'm sure you mali'aheral's have a much better place to be than this." Her voice growled, her purple eyes fierce. Glaring as the group lifted their chins with huffs and walked off.
2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?
Answer:
- Ali watched the man collapse, falling quickly to her knee's to pick him up and sit him up right, asking him if he was alright. Her violet eyes followed his gaze to the gold that was spread across the pathway. She moved to collect it all, pouring it all back into his pouch and handing it to him. She promised him that she would find him some help before she would even think to leave him there.
3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).
Answer:
- Ali looked through his wares, a certain violin catching her eye. It was made of a sturdy maple, and was a deep red color. With a matching bow and rosin. She asked him about it and he responded with a price that was a bit out of her budget. He mentioned he would haggle so she placed a hand on her hip and gave another look at the violin.
"Mind if I play it a bit?" She asked and the man shook his head.
"No 'mam. Please do. I haven't heard a good song in ages it seems."
Ali smiled and after fiddling with the sound a bit, she played a quick song her father had taught her. The man smiled at her talent and took the violin back from her.
"It sure is nice isn't it?" He asked her, a big smile on his face.
Ali knew it was a very nice violin, but she was a smarter girl than to put it out there. "It's alright.."
"Just alright?!?"
"It's alright.."
"Hmm. How much ya want for it?"
"I can trade you this bracelet for it."
Ali said, holding out her arm where a simple gold bracelet lay at home. In the middle of one of the loops of the bracelet laid a shiny purple gem. She had found the bracelet in a walk through a city, she couldn't find the owner so she kept it. The merchant seemed to like this idea and nodded. Ali traded him the bracelet and left being the one coming out ahead in the deal.

Kevin lives the life of the elf and, makes all decisions for his character.

Power-emoting: When someone emotes against another person, and that person being emoted against can not prevent it. Example: Someone goes up to another person and does. *Bob slaps Sally* <-- There's no way Sally can prevent this and this is power emoting.

Full Name: Kelvin Grove Wisp
Current Age: 200
Sub-race (if any): Wood Elf
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
Kelvin was born to a poor family. He couldn't get food from the local towns. His father, Arthus, always believed that hunting was the key to survival. His mother, Elest was an exceptional gatherer. She always brought ripe fruits and vegetables to the dinner plate. Kelvin was always taught to be a mannered person, but rarely talked to other people living out in the wilderness. He was always never allowed to leave their yard alone. Kelvin's father took Kelvin out to hunt every week. They would bring an abundance of food. Every few months, Arthus would go to the local town and collect house supplies. All the furniture in Kelvin's home was made from gathered materials. They didn't have the money to buy a house, so they built one instead. Kelvin's grandfather was a very wise old elf. He knew the ancient Elven tongue well. He had past away before Kelvin's father was even born, so the language had been lost in the family.
Kelvin was a master archer. He was very talented in archery, and even surpassed his own father, who taught him how to first handle a bow and arrow. Kelvin had some weaknesses though. He did not know how to properly hold a sword. He was also not as big in body shape for him being a Wood Elf. He also doesn't have great stamina. He isn't as tough as the other elves, but he is agile, fast reactor, and deadly archer. One day changed his life completely and led him to a world of adventure. On a stormy night, when Kelvin was fast asleep, Vicious Orc raiders wandered the woods near his home. His parents were up hoping the raiders don't find them. Arthus grabbed his bow that was handcrafted by Kelvin's grandfather. The bow was given the name, Celest. Arthus would some day hand Celest down to Kelvin when the time was right. When Arthus aimed to grab the door handle, a rock flung by an orc hit the door. Arthus stumbled backward, and saw six angry orcs with axes run toward the house. They were about 50 yard away. Arthus opened the door and opened fire on the orcs. While Kelvin's mother, Elest woke up Kelvin and told him to run to the hill right behind the home. Kelvin ran straight up to the top of the hill. Trying to see if his parents were alright. Every now and again he saw an orc running,then the orc disappeared under the trees. Just a few minutes later, Kelvin's mother caught up and hugged Kelvin. Kelvin was worrying for his father, so without hesitation, he ran down the hill and glanced to the right. He saw his father stumble over a rock and tumble into a bush. He ran straight to his father, picked up Celest and an arrow. He looked up, and saw an orc running straight toward him. He aimed Celest, and fired.
After the raid attack from the orcs. Kelvin and his family became different. They were more cautious, and had emergency plans. Kelvin's father only suffered minor bruises and cuts. He had taken out five of the six orc warriors with Celest. Kelvin had finished the last orc. The orcs had almost killed Kelvin's father. Arthus knew that now was the time to pass down Celest to Kelvin. The bow he had cherished would now be in Kelvin's hands. Kelvin has grown up now, and is ready to explore the rest of the world.
Ambitions for the Future: Kelvin wants to be the best archer ever known. Kelvin also wants to be a very successful elf and become a part of the economy.
Personality:Kelvin is a well mannered elf. He is charming and loves to go out hunting. He can be ruthless when tempted to.

____
[b]1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react?[/b]
Answer: Kelvin clenches his teeth, as the sight of this sickened him. He pondered on ideas to help the young wood elf. He decided to run up to the young boy, and take him back to town. As Kelvin walked up to the Wood Elf child, one of the High Elves grimaced, and said, " Is that your puny daddy there. Well he's about to get a beating. " The three High Elves started drawing their magical weapons at me. One High Elf conjured a small fireball and shot it at me. Kelvin rolled over to the side just barely dodging it by a few inches. Kelvin screamed, " We don't have to fight, just withdraw your weapons and let this boy go!" The obnoxious High Elves ignored Kelvin and kept shooting fireballs at him. The Wood Elf had become frightened and ran through the woods. Kelvin ran after him, he kept on sprinting and then halted. He was breathing hard, and couldn't run much further. The High Elves were on his tail. Kelvin couldn't see the Wood Elf child anywhere, then thought to himself that it may be better if he's away from the High Elves. Then Kelvin spotted a twig snap above him. The Wood Elf had climbed the tree in front of Kelvin. The High Elves had caught up to Kelvin by now, but Kelvin with Celest aimed at them, fired 2 arrows until he was knocked out by a fireball. He was burnt on his left arm and leg. He had crippled two of the High Elves though. The 2 High Elves retreated back into the woods, while the remaining one started walking up to Kelvin. Kelvin drew an arrow, but his hold on Celest slipped and he dropped the bow. The High Elf snickered and said, " You are a pretty good shot, its too bad your about to be burned alive. " Just as the High Elf was about to conjure another fireball, he was hit on head with a rock. As The High Elf tumbled forward right at Kelvin, Kelvin saw the Wood Elf child holding a few pebbles picked up from the earth. Kelvin took a few looks at the High Elf, and it seemed as the High Elf was out cold. Kelvin said between gasps, " Thanks kid, you saved my life." The Wood Elf Child, smiled and ran off into the woods.
[b]2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?[/b]
Answer: The old man manages to get one raspy word out before knocking out, "Help." Kelvin becomes shocked. Kelvin immediately first suspicion was that this might be the Wood Elf Child he encountered before. Kelvin dismisses the thought, as that was impossible for the Wood Elf Child to age this much in only a few years. Kelvin then picks up the fragile old man and lays him down near a bush. Kelvin notices the old man is bleeding, as he fell upon a twig on the grass. Kelvin takes out Celest, and glances around the woods, making sure no one was chasing the old man. Kelvin saw no one so he withdrew Celest. Kelvin notices the old man is a Wood Elf, but can't determine his age. He also noticed the old man had battle scars on his arm. Kelvin took out is medicine bag,and took out some mixed herbs and smothered it across the wound. Kelvin then took out a strip of cloth and wrapped it around the old man's leg, where he was badly cut by the twig. The old man started to regain consciousness and opened his eyes. The old man was shocked and took out a hidden knife he had tucked in the worn robe he was wearing. The robe was dirty and had many holes in it. Kelvin backed away a few steps and said, " It's alright, I'm only trying to help you. " The old man then relaxed and dropped the knife. Kelvin walked up and took the knife, " I'll take this for now. " Kelvin had no idea where this man came from. Then the old man started to speak, " I was running from the town that was being raided. I couldn't bring any of my belongings except that knife and a few coins, that should be somewhere. Kelvin looked around and just now saw the gold coins spread out on the floor a few yards away. Kelvin went and picked up the coins, he noticed that the coins looked very valuable and might be worth plenty minas. He puts the coins back into the pouch and tightens it. Kelvin hands the pouch to the old man and asks, " Where were you headed?" The old man looks at Kelvin and responds, "I was headed to the Elven Capitol, Normandor, it should be up ahead." Kelvin helps the old man up, and takes him all the way to the capitol. As they arrive the capitol, the old man says, " Oh thank you, young elf. You had healed my wounds and helped me get to me all the way here. I am going to live here for now, and these gold coins shall help me get settled. They are very valuable and just one is worth quite a few minas. So here I will give you one coin for helping me through this. That should be enough for what you did. I will be on my way now, farewell." Kelvin says goodbye and goes on to explore the capitol, he had never been to .
[b]3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).[/b]
Answer: The trader offers Kelvin a fine quiver made from high quality deer skin. Kelvin offers a price, " I will pay 1000 minas for this fine quiver that will hold my valuable arrows. The trader responds angrily, " No, I will not sell this fine quiver for a mere 1000 minas! That is an outrageously low price wood elf!" Kelvin flinches as the maddened trader yells. Kelvin responds, " Please calm down, maybe we can haggle for a fair price on the quiver then." The trader cools down and then says, "Oh right, I am sorry for my yelling, I have some problems as you can see." The trader ponders for a few moments then says, " Hmm, how about 5000 minas." Kelvin responds, " I don't believe I have that many minas currently. If maybe you could lower it and I could chip in some medicine." The trader makes a face, that is neither happy nor angry. Then responds with, " What sort of medicine, and how much minas with it?" Kelvin replies, " Medicine that I have made with my skill in herbalism and made from fine herbs I have searched throughout the Elven woods for. I would also like to pay 2500 minas. The medicine could also be sold for a nice profit too. As this is a one of a kind recipe that my mother had told me. This medicine will help any cut, wound, or scrape." The trader looked a tad surprised and then reclaims, "If you could make it 3000 minas and a bag of that medicine, we will have a deal." Kelvin thinks for a moment, then realizes he had gotten 2000 minas cheaper then what the trader originally wanted, and the medicine he could easily create again by going out to collect the herbs used to create it. Kelvin finally responds, "I'll take that deal. Thank you for the quiver." They exchange items and Kelvin equips his new high quality quiver. He then continues his adventure.

Full Name: Vectis Vekon.
Current Age: Eighteen years old.
Sub-race (if any): None.
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
Born in Ager, Vectis was raised the son of a shepherd. ( He is not Rolf from Ed, Edd, and Eddy ) When Vectis's father wasn't tending the herd, he was teaching his son swordplay and how to read and write, being a veteran man-at-arms of the Oren Lances. Vectis enjoyed these lessons and when he was idle would often be found with either sword or book in hand. When he grew old enough to look after the herd himself, he would often forsake the staff and bring his father's sword to the field and sharpen it, sometimes hoping a wolf might stray towards his flock so he could strike it down. His mother was a quiet, godly woman who often lectured in lessons of the true faith and quoted parables passed from her peers to relate to their life.
When he came of age, he bid farewell to his parents, following the advice of his mother to 'find his own way'. His father proudly bestowed upon his son the heirloom of his sword and with it, he set out onto the road to find his own way.
Ambitions for the Future: Vectis is young and naive and often dreams about enlisting in the Oren Lances or becoming a great scholar.

1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?
Answer: Spotting the malicious figure, I shout with certainty as to the potential assailant's agenda, "Guards! Assassin!" Drawing my father's sword, I join them in apprehending the individual, regardless of their true intentions. The guards, impressed by my handiwork, reward me with a few Minas.
2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?
Answer: Stepping forth with courage in my heart and an overwhelming sense to do good, I draw my father's sword and shout to the bandits to step away or be cleaved in twain! One of them step forward to handle me but I outmaneuver him in my lighter armor, splitting him in half horizontally with a powerful sweep of my sword. As the second bandit now turns on me, I shout, "now!" as the old man rushes forward, stabbing the bandit in the back, ending him. The old man invites me in to share in his drink, but I have more important things to do, and set off.
3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).
Answer: Laying my eyes upon a set of iron armor, I point towards it and say, "that one". He responds with a smile and asks a price. "Four-hundred and ninety Minas."
"Five-hundred and fourty Minas."
"Hm-... Five-hundred and twenty Minas-.. and I'll add three cuts of wool."
"Deal!"
And so I take the armor and exchange the wool with the merchant.

Full Name: Kili Kuldak
Current Age: 18
Sub-race (if any): Northerner
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): When I was 8 years old my family moved down from the north down to the southern capital of Al'Khazar. There I spent my days going to work with my father, Tyron Kuldak, down in the mines. My father was the best of the miners because there were not many northerners in the city. My mother, Brittin Kuldak, and my sister, Hijaa Kuldak, worked at home cleaning most of the time. When I would get home from the mine my mother would teach me and my sister how to read and to write and the history of Oren.
Once when I was 10 my parents went out for the afternoon. I thought that it was a great opportunity to to go exploring outside the city because my parents didn't allow me to. I was walking down the path away from the city, when I saw a group of shadows coming from the woods. I didn't pay much attention to them because I figured it was another group of guards on their patrol. I noticed that the group was making a strange noise; it sounded like clattering bones. I looked over to see a rogue group of Undead walking right at me. The lead Undead notched an arrow in his bow, pulled it tight, and released. All of a sudden I got hurdled at the ground. My chest seared with pain, my vision was blurred. I felt cold chain-mail on me. Suddenly a roar of hollering came out of the forest, and a group of Teutonic Sariants came bounding out, charging fearlessly at the mod of Undead. The Teutonic Sariant got off of me and ran to join in the battle. I watched as they slashed at the Undead with tremendous strength and precision. when the battle was over, the man who had tackle me to save me from the arrow came walking over to me and held out his hand to pull me up. I accepted it and he pulled me up. He said to me, "You shouldn't be out here. How about you run back into the city."
"Yes Sir," I said trying to please him. "I have one question though. What were those that attacked me?"
He answered, "A group of rogue Undead that have existed since the war against the Undead. We have been tracking them down for months." He then reached into his chain-mail and yanked something off his neck. He told me to close my eyes and hold out my hand. I did as he told and I felt him put a warm chain necklace in it. I opened my eyes and saw a black chain necklace with the Teutonic black cross on the end of it. He then said, "So you remember never to endanger yourself like this ever again." I was too shocked to do anything except clench my fist down hard on the necklace. He turned and walked over to his comrades where they started walking away. I realized right then and there that when I grew up i was going to join the Teutonic Order and Become a Sariant myself.

[b]1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b]
Answer: "Hey! You there! Where do you think your going?" I yell over to him and he turns and glares at me. "Guards, do you this this man?" I yell over to the guards. The shadowed man freezes and turns to look at the guards and sees that they are walking over. He starts to sprint away. He's quick, but I'm quicker. I ran at him and "Slam!" I tackle him with tremendous force. I wait for the guards to come over and get him before I get off. I brush the dirt and dust off me and say, "Just another day in the kingdom."
[b]2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]
Answer: I rush over and push aside the bandits and walk over to the old man and turn around to face the bandits. "What are we doing here boys?" I ask.
"It's none of your business kid," one of the bandits responds, "Now run along.
"Everything is my business." I say back. The two bandits look at each other and nod. They pull out their swords, as do I. I tell the old man to back off and he follows my orders. The two bandits charge and the first one swings.
I quickly parry the attack and hit him with a strong counter strike to the torso causing him to fall to the ground. The second bandit swings and I dodge it. I kick the second bandit's shin and thrust my sword into his chest. I pull out my blood stained sword and see the first bandit hobbling away. I turn to look for the old man and see him coming out of his house with money in hand. He offers it as a reward but I refuse.

Answer: "Do you have some arrows for sale?" I asked the merchant.
"I do," the merchant answered.
"How much would 32 arrows cost?" I asked him making sure that he was the first to set a price.
"Around 192 minas." He answered.
"How about 96. That is a fairer price."
"160 and you got a deal." The merchant countered.
"Ok, we'll split the difference at 128 minas." I said.
"You got a deal!" He said. We shook hands and i gave him my 128 minas and he gave me the 32 arrows.

What previous experience have you had in role-playing?: I have played several MMORPGs since I was about seven years old.

I played Age of Conan about 3 years ago for about a year as well. I have about 2 years worth of playing runescape previously too. (Also, I was PMed by the person who declined my previous application to ask if this is a serious role-playing server or more MMO style combat server. I said it is a serious role-playing server. I am placing this text here because I think that because all these games here are MMORPGs not plain RPGs. Just to clear thing up so I hope not to be denied because of that I am saying here that from what i have read this is a serious RP server not combat-style like mmos.)

Definitions In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:
Role-playing: Role-playing is when you take on the role of a character and act as if you are that character. Also when you are in a group else doing a specific job. The rest of the group will then when necessary play their own roles and contribute to the success of the group. In short role-playing is several players all helping each other out in their own way.
Meta-gaming: Meta-gaming is using external information which will affect your gameplay. Eg. Using a wiki whilst trying to accomplish X and X and X. Basically giving them an advantage over other players.
Power-emoting: Also known as god-emoting, power-emoting is typing something like "Player1 kills Player2" where Player2 can’t do anything about it. The preferred emote would be something such as "Player1 tries to kill Player2 by stabbing him/her in the chest with his/her sword" so that Player2 can reply with more or less something like this “Player2 parries Player1’s blow with his/her dagger.”
In-Character Information: Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Evareyla Leyun
Current Age: 46
Sub-race (if any): Mali'ame (Wood-Elf)
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
I grew up in Elandriel. Our (my family's) house burned down when I was seven years old. We wandered about for several years until we settled down in Normandor. When I was 22 I moved out of my parent's house. Two years later I was falsely accused of stealing from a merchant in the marketplace and was put in jail for five years.
I was finally released and I became an adventurer serving whoever paid enough, slaying dragons and monsters. I was quite experienced with the bow and trained daily when I wasn't on a mission. After about twelve years I had slain so many monsters I was nicknamed 'The Slayer'. My younger brother joined me on a mission and we decided to pair up thereafter.
Not long after we were asked by a nobleman to assassinate his brother. I refused however my brother accepted and I knew we would no longer be a team. I decided to visit my parents again after about sixteen years without seeing them. By now I was about forty years old. I attended the nature's boon with my parents and the Great hunt. While we were hunting I got a bit separated from the group and heard voices coming from the direction opposite of the group. As I drew nearer I caught snatches for a conversation. "What if we get caught? We....." says one of the voices.
"I've thought it over. We are safe here." replies another voice.
"Yes we....." adds a third.
I draw nearer and see that two of them are Wanted criminals. I mark my way as I rush back to the group and tell them of what I have seen. "Come quickly!" I gasp, so out of breath I can hardly speak. "Criminals, wanted, come!" four of us return to the spot. The criminals were still there. When we emerged from the brush the men jumped up in alarm and the first voice I heard says, "What did I say?" We all jump forwards and grab the thief’s hands. They struggle but we tie their hands behind their backs.
While escorting them to the law an arrow whizzes by my head. "Watch out! We are being attacked!" I say, "Go on without me, I will deal with our attackers." I stealthily detach from the group so that wherever the attackers may be they should be unable to see me. Another arrow flew between the group. It came from the left. I climb a tree as quietly as elvenly possible. I Spot a man on a branch in a tree about twenty meters away. I draw my bow and just as I shoot he jumps out of the tree.
"Bad luck." I mutter under my breath. I jump down and creep after him. He shoots again this time grazing the leader of the group's leg "Close." I say to my-self, "Luckily he's not a good shot with a bow." When I got closer I aimed, fired and..... Missed..... "Oh no, now he knows where I am." I whisper. He stops and turns, but just before he does I dive behind a tree. I waited until he drew nearer with my bow drawn. I heard his footsteps and jumped out from behind the tree and shot at his right arm so as to stop him from being able to shoot at me. "It's a hit!" I shouted with joy. I tied his hands and rushed with him to join the group.
When we returned to the town and turned in the criminal we were poorly rewarded. I have been living in town with my parents still. That was my greatest hunt yet.
Ambitions for the Future: I aspire to be the greatest ranger in Asulon. (Now Anthos I believe.)
Personality: Kind, friendly, honest and sometimes a bit impatient.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Average Height, Long (Very long!!!) brown to black hair that is dyed, Green eyes, Normal skin colour for a wood-elf.
Clothing changed and blonde hair.
Any other details you wish to share about your character: Female, the hair is actually dyed so will vary from blonde to brown and black, and I will change clothing from time to time. But other than that the skins and face etc. will not change.

1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react?
Answer:
Creeping slowly forwards along the edge of the path partly in the bush I investigate more closely. I spotted a dagger in the belt of one and another has a staff but other than that they are unarmed. I get an arrow ready in case they try anything dangerous. One of them says "Look at its skin, it’s so brown, one could easily mistake it for dirt." he laughs.
"And that dirty hair!" says a second, "It looks like straw."
The child was curled into a ball on the ground crying in the middle of the group. He looked extremely scared. I pitied the child so much. I ran into the middle of the group. All four elves jumped back in fright. "It's another dirt elf!" sneered the tallest. "Get her!"
I drew my bow and shot an arrow through his shoe so as to stick it into the ground. I then drew my bow again and aimed at the nearest elf and aimed for his thigh. At this the other two jumped on me before I could draw my bow again. I decided to use my clumsy short-sword. I grazed the bigger ones arm and barely pierced the other's stomach. When the tallest managed to finally unstuck his shoe he shouted out to the others, "Run for your lives! She's a madwoman!"
When they were gone I asked the child if he was alright.
"Yes thank you." he said still crying, "I’m just a bit shaky."
"I think it would be best if I carried you back to your home, could you direct me to it?" I offered.
"It is right this way, along the path, I was heading home when those horrid elves started pushing me around."
I carried him back to his dwelling.
2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?
Answer:
I help him to his feet and check for bruises and perhaps broken bones, him being a frail old man. Upon seeing that he has none I retrieve the pouch for him and hand it over.
"Thank you kindly." he croaks while dusting off his clothing.
"It's a pleasure sir." I reply while checking the road for dangerous looking figures, "Would you like some help getting to your destination?"
"No thanks. I'm not as old as I seem." he chuckles.
"If you're sure." I say.
"Yes I am." he says. I watch him walk off slowly.
I turn and then as I walk off I hear the bushes rustling behind me but do nothing. I hear the old man shout out, "Help! Robbers! Thieves!"
I silently enter the woods and sneak around until I am behind the robbers. Approach them with my bow drawn. When I am directly behind them they notice I'm there. I hear the one whisper, "Watch out, someone’s behind our back. When I say 'What’s this you have here old man' we turn around and jump on her."
"Sure thing boss." replies the smaller thief.
I shoot the one robber in the leg and shout, "That ain't your pouch is it? You'd best be going before I really hurt you!"
When the Thieves are a good distance away I turn and help the old man again.
"Are you okay?" I ask.
"Only a bit nauseas." he says. "I could use some rest."
"Ok, but I think you had best accept my offer to escort you." I say.
"I agree with you." he smiles.
Several minutes later he gets up and takes his pouch. "I'm ready to go. I am heading to
3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do?
(Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).
Answer:
Having just found twenty minas and already had another thirty, I was in need of a new quiver I decided to see what he has in store. Perhaps it is true that he has everything. Upon seeing a suitable quiver and arrows I say, "I see you have a quiver and some arrows here." trying not to sound too enthusiastic in order to perhaps get it cheaper.
"Aye, 'tis the best I have." he lies.
"May I examine it more closely?" I ask.
"Here you go. Please be careful." he replies.
I examine it for a little while and I notice a few scratches probably from bumping in the carriage and a broken arrow. After a bit more studying I decide it is good enough. "What is your price for the quiver and the arrows?" I ask.
"How’s thirty-five minas" he says.
"The quiver is a bit scratched and this arrow is broken." I show him the flaws in the set. "I’m sure I could get a better set for the same price." I say.
The merchant thinks for a while and says "Thirty and it's yours."
Knowing I would need more than 20 minas I try to bargain for a better price.
"Twenty would be my highest." I state.
"I'm sorry madam." he says. "I will sell for no less than Twenty-five minas."
I think it over for several minutes and come to a decision.
"I will trade in my old set and pay in twenty minas for this set."
"Done" answers the merchant. "Enjoy your quiver and arrows."
"Enjoy your money." I reply.
I walk off again and continue my journey. Thrilled with the prospect of a new quiver and arrows.

Full Name: Arthur Baranthor
Current Age: 25
Sub-race (if any): Northerner
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+
paragraphs long):
Arthur grew up with his younger sister Melany (2 years
younger) and his older brother Jack ( 3 years older) in a little town on the northern
borders of The Wilds ( In Asulon ) . Arthur’s mother and father were very much
in love and cared for the children as best they could. When Arthur turned 5 (
Birthday almost at the end of The Secound Seed) his father had decided for the
good of the village that he would create a little task force to protect the
village from bandits and small groups of raiders. All was well, or so it seemed.
Only a short time after The Grand Harvest began the task force they were
thrown into action. A huge group of about 40 bandits road into town seeking
only destruction and death. The task force didn’t stand a chance. It was a
slaughter! Arthur, his sister, brother and mother managed to escape but his
father was killed protecting the village. When Arthur and what was left of the
town returned everything was in ruins, there were body’s everywhere and the
houses were still on fire. It took several years to rebuild the town and even
though Arthur was only 5 he never forgot what those bandits did. From that day
forward Arthur had sworn that he would honor his father and he would become a
knight to stop this from ever happening again. About a year after Arthur’s
father’s death people started to notice that he was lost, he didn’t know what
to be doing himself. The hunters of the village decided to be his role models,
they took him on all there fishing, camping, and hunting trips teaching him
valuable survival skills
On Arthur’s 10th birthday he was given his father’s sword,
it was rusty and dull but it was perfect to Arthur. Along with the sword his
mother gave him an Iron cross necklace. She said “ Arthur, This necklace
belonged to your grandfather, then your father, and now it belongs to you. It
symbolizes everything that is still good in this world, keep it safe and your
father will always be with you”. That day he went outside and took a broom,
some old clothes, and a bucket and made training dummy. Every day since then
rain or shine, weak or strong Arthur would hit and practice on that dummy while
dreaming of the day he would become a knight and avenge his father. On the beginning
of Arthur’s 25th Second seed He kissed his family goodbye and set
out on his quest To become a knight, He did not know what would happen next but
he was ready. He had his sword in hand, his backpack full of travel gear, and
the necklace around his neck which had belonged to his father. That day he
became a man, it wasn’t fun and games anymore, no more dummies, now it was the
real deal. It was his time to go out into the world and make something of
himself. It was his time to become a knight.
Ambitions for the Future:[/b] To become a knight, and to protect what is still fair and just in the realm.
Personality:[/b] Witty, Smart, Sloppy, funny, Disorganized ,and

1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed
figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace – he is clearly
up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?
Answer:
I quickly assess the situation figuring out how long it would
take to get the guards or if I yelled that it might alert the “Dark-Clothed person”.
I figure out where the guards are located and decide to run over to them. I
alert them of the man who entered the palace and ask if I may be of assistance.
While the guards go one way I go the other and start looking for the
Dark-Clothed person. After a couple minutes in the palace I see the dark clothed
person. Now I am sure he I an assassin because he has dagger in hand and is
about to enter the Emperors chambers. I yell For the guards and draw my sword,
at that moment the assassin spins around and trys to attack me. I wound him but
not kill him so that the guards may deal with him. After he has been taken away
by the palace guards I leave and re embark on my quest.
2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you comeacross a
large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside itstands an
unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by twoheavily armed
bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed withleather armour
and an iron longsword, how do you react?
Answer:
I stare and asses the situation. I sneak up behind the bandits
and say. “Hello, how are you fine gentleman doing today”. The bandits turn
around and draw there swords. I say “Well I was just trying to have a
intelligent conversation but if that’s the way you want it, I will comply”. I
draw my sword. The young bandit swings at me screaming. I block with my sword
and hit him in the face with the bunt of my sword knocking him to the ground.
The second man takes a swing at me he’s stronger than I am but somehow I manage
to push his sword away with my own. Now the second man is back on his feet. I’m
not sure I can beat them with strength but maybe I can buy them off. I say “ OK
, ok you win there is no need for more violence take my money and we can
all go our separate ways. The bandits
smile at each other, the older one says “where is the minas”, I point to my back
and say “ in my bag”. One goes over to check it out and tells the other to take
my sword and watch me., I wait for him to turn his back, when he does I hit him
in the head with a rock I found on the ground, I lean down and pick up my
sword. All of a sudden the sword from the older bandit slices my arm from behind,
in pain I swing around . I turn to the old man cut the man’s leg, as he falls I
stand up. I say “Again, no more blood must be spilled , leave now and take you
friend and never return ”. The leave and the old man is safe. I turned to the
old man and ask if he is all right. He reply’s “I’m fine now that you’re here,
thank you young sir, I don’t know what I would have done without you, but I
must say I thought they had you there for a moment”. I ask him for a needle and
thread so I can sew up my wound. He replies “You’re in luck I was, the village
physician for a very long time” He sews up my wound and lets me stay the night,
in the morning I hit the road again.
3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you
notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall
and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he
is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to
allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling,
items of choice and the discussion that happens).
Answer:
I walk up to the stand, look around at the goods and I catch
my eye on a Iron longsword with a polished rock at the end of the handle. I check
my pocket …… I only have 100 minas and i need to eat tonight. Maybe I can strike
a deal. I say to the owner “ How much for the sword’. He replys “ which one?” I
point to the sword. The stall owner says “Ahh, I see you have caught your eye
on the sword of power” I reply “ The sword of power? Why is it called this” The
stall owner says “ I have no idea but the name helps it sell” I frown. ‘How much”
I ask again. “ 110 minas” he says, I reply “HA, 110 minas for a fake named
sword, how can you expect so much, based on your stalk and the time of day I
say you maybe have sold only 1 or 2 items today yet you still ask for 110
minas”. “ well, I guess maybe 100 minas” “Good day, I will try my luck somwhere
else” As I walk away he shouts “ Fine 81 minas but that’s my final offer” I
turn around with a grin on my face and walk back to the stall and say “ Well
that’s more reasonable, ill take it. I hand him the money and go on my way.

Full Name: Pierre Flahough
Current Age: 28
Sub-race (if any): Northerner
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Pierre was born and raised in Ager by a rather poor family. He was never big into physical activities, and excelled in his mother, Thresa’s lessons about the world. He always dreamed of going on an adventure, but at the age of 12 he became rebellious. He was defiant to authority, and got himself into trouble. Days after his 15th birthday, his father Dunkin was arrested for killing a dwarf in a drunken rage, and he was never heard from again.
When his father was put away, Pierre left his home armed with nothing but a stone sword and a dream to explore. He traveled from city to city, meeting people and learning new things. He and his mother reunited years later, and Pierre became more of a local adventurer, talking to people in Ager and learning more about Asulon’s history.
But when the plague struck, Thresa died of the Plague. Pierre hid out in a small community of goblins, where he learned some blah. However, bandits attacked the village and Pierre ran off again. He traveled around the world, trying to stay as far away from life as possible. But one day, he saw boats being boarded by the shore. He could finally leave his past behind and start a new life in another land.
Ambitions for the Future:[/b] Pierre wants to become fluent in blah and discover the world’s many secrets.
Personality:[/b] Pierre prefers to talk his way out of situations instead of facing them head-on. He rarely uses his sword, but he always carries it around as a last resort. He is cocky and sometimes he doesn’t think his plans through well enough which leads to some sticky situations. He always wants to learn more about the world and the creatures that live there.
Skills:[/b] Pierre has vast knowledge of the land and its inhabitants. He can fluently speak common and can speak very little blah. He is a fast talker and has gotten out of many violent situations by reasoning with people. He is decent at best with a bow and is terrible at swordplay. He has spent enough time running from combat to know how to evade captors and sneak away from an enemy, something that has saved his life more than once.

[b]1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b]
Answer: The figure climbs up the side of a building and draws a blade. An assassin. I inhale and yell “ASSASSIN!” at the top of my lungs. Every guard in the square can hear me and they run towards my direction.
“Where?” One of them asks. I point at the rooftops where the assassin is trying to escape. The guards chase after him and I watch as they restrain the killer and drag him away.
[b]2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]
Answer: Not being one to solve problems with violence, I approach the bandits with my weapon sheathed. “What’s going on here?” I ask, stepping between the two parties.
“Stand aside or else you’re next.” One of the bandits orders, pointing his sword at my throat. I draw my bloodstained sword and hold it in a defensive position. “Trust me, you don’t want your blood to join theirs.” I bluff. In all honesty, that is my blood from when I accidently cut my shoulder while practicing.
The second bandit draws his sword and steps close to me. I point it at him as well. “I have taken on at least five better armed scumbags at once. You won’t fare any better than they did.” The bandits called my bluff.
“Then you can take us.” The second bandit taunted. They charged at me with weapons drawn. I clumsily blocked the first attack with the blunt side of the sword and the second bandit cut a strap off of my leather armor. I recoiled from the strike and dropped the sword. “Some tough guy, eh?” The second bandit asked his partner.
“Suuuure.” The first one quipped and charged me. I ducked under the strike and started to run away from the bandits as fast as possible. They chased after me, but I scampered up a tree and jumped onto another. I slid down the trunk of the second tree as they were inspecting the first and dashed off.
[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]
Answer: I walk up to the stall and browse his wares. An odd trinket catches my eye that is shaped like the Orcish god, Krug. “Where did you find this?” I ask.
“I uh, found it in a cave in the countryside. I can’t remember where, but it uh, was definitely a cave.” This guy was obviously a thief, trying to sell any objects he once had. I grinned and toss a single minas onto the stall.
“Here, I’m being generous.” The thief scoffs at my offer.
“I could never sell such a rare artifact at such a low price!” He demands, appalled by my offer.
“How about you sell it to me and I don’t alert the authorities?” I lean in close to him with an arrogant smirk on my face.
The thief’s eyes went wide. “Fine. Take it and leave!” He shouts at me. I pick up the trinket and walk away from him, but not before sarcastically thanking him for his business.

Full Name: Alexandrith Bronzebeard
Current Age: 20
Sub-race (if any): None
Clan (if any): Bronzebeard
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):[/b] When I was but a wee-little lad, my father, Fenaldrith Bronzebeard taught me in the skill of mining. My family was not rich, but we were happy. My father worked for the wealth of Aegis, mining day and night to feed our family of three. By the time I was age 10, I was already an apprentice blacksmith to my father. I was taught all that I would need to know other than my profession from my mother. She taught me how to read, and how to speak. She was one of the people that helped my father when we were in bad times, and stayed with him throughout. I thought that everything was going swell in the Bronzebeard family, until the fateful day that I walked into the mine my father worked at. What I saw was a gruesome scene. All of the men in the mine were slaughtered, and I immediately worried about the life of my father. As I ran deeper and deeper into the mine, I saw him, with a wound in his stomach. As I collapsed in agony of the sight, I walked closer to him, and told him I loved him, and that he would be able to survive, but I was wrong. On his last dying breaths, he told me who did the deed... It was the orcs. From that day on I swore to avenge my father, and to right to wrong. After then, I took over responsibilities as the man of the family. It was only when I turned 12 when I had to start mining. I've learned to keep my chin up, and think my mug is always half full. When I turned age 16, my mother died when the orcs invaded my village. I remember those moments vividly, running out of the mine looking at all the destruction. It 'twas only days later when I started to adventure into Aegis. Leaving the mountains was tough, but I learned to deal with tragedy, so this was nothing in comparison. After adventuring around Aegis for 4 years, I finally decided that I would start to try to piece my life together, so I decided to work as a mercenary for hire. Ever since I chose my job I have not run out of ale, and my cottage is suitable. I live a nice life.
Ambitions for the Future: All I have ever wanted to do is to be able to own a mine, and to sell my goods to to wealth of Aegis.
Personality: I am a Dwarf of a strong willed nature, and I love to be generous and to help those in need, but if I have to use force, I will.
Skills: My father has trained me well in the traits of blacksmithing and mining. I have also learned how to wield an axe quite well.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): I have a semi-pale skin from being inside the mine so much, but I am strong and powerful from my mercenary work. I have a brown-reddish beard.

[b]1. Whilst mining deep in the undergrounds of Kalos you see a large deposit of diamond ore at the other side of the ravine you are on. There is a very thin rock bridge that looks precariously unstable, but it is the only way to access the deposit. What do you do?[/b]
Answer: As I look at the diamond protruding from the wall, I think to myself, "Is the diamond really worth it?". After a swig of ale, it was, so I precariously crossed the bridge with iron footing. As I reach the diamond, I realize, "If I mine the diamond, won't the shock cave the bridge in?". After the ale kicks in, I don't think about that anymore. I mine away at the diamond, and when I go to return, the bridge had collapsed. When I am finished with my last drop of ale, I try and think of a solution, but, it doesn't work too well, and I fall into a deep slumber. After falling asleep, I don't remember much. All I know is that I awoke back in my bed, thinking "Aye, that lager really is strong.".
[b]2. You are sitting in the local tavern with a large pint of ale in your hand - sitting nearby you is a rather young dwarf whom is clearly going through a bad time. He is crying to himself, and clutching a small wooden hammer toy. In the other corner of the room two shady dwarves are sitting whispering to each other and pointing occasionally at the dwarf. They stand up, one with a small dagger in his hand and begin to approach the young dwarf. What do you do?[/b]
Answer: Looking at the young boy and the dagger both, I realize what the shady dwarves might do. I stand up and shout "You want to hurt a wee lad? What kind of dwarf are ye!", and then I charge toward them, mugs 'o ale raised high. As I smash the mugs over their heads, I feel a tingling sensation in my stomach. As I look down, I see the dagger planted in me. I rip the dagger out, and throw it to the floor, and I shortly pass out. Later, I awoke on the bed upstairs in the tavern. As I looked up, I saw the little lad, smiling at me. At that, I grinned, and realized that I saved his life.
[b]3. Whilst wandering through the Dwarven Caverns you hear a voice call out to you; “Oi, ye’! C’mere n’ get ye’rself an ale!”. You spin on your heel and see a heavily bearded bar-owner looking at you - a huge grin on his face, and a mug of ale in his hand. How do you react?[/b]
Answer: Seeing the ale in the bar-owners hand, I rush towards him, shouting "Why not!". After walking with him back to his bar, we talk about the way things are going in our town. I just kept chugging the ale, and speaking 'bout the town. Eventually, I got so drunk that I passed out. I awoke only to see that my coin and sword have vanished. Walking over the bar owner to ask him what happened, I realize he has my sword! As I stumble over to him, as hungover as a sober dwarf, I ask "Why did 'ya take my sword!?". He replies with "Aye, you gambled your sword and coin away last night.". As I proceed with the walk of shame out of the tavern, I realize, that shoes vanished. Looking around the bar, I see orphans selling a homeless dwarf my shoes. I think "Aye, I got 2 more pairs.", and I leave the tavern.

Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):Augus Scampton was born to a simple family in the village of Ager.He was put to work at the age of 5 and worked on the farms for a good 6 years.He realized during these 6 years of that there was more to the world than the originally thought so he decided to start reading up on the lands outside of his small village.He was amazed about all these races that he read about that lived outside of the village he called home.One day he caught site of an convoy of orcs while he snuck out of town.He interested by how they fight and interact with each other;this was an wake up call for Augus to start training in combat.
So Augus spent the rest of his teenage years training with the axe and sword.He lost most of his family during his teenage years to an orc raid that killed off his parents and deprived them of all their money.He was left with his brother Coray Scampton who managed to run away during the raid.He found his brother and they both wandered off into the lands in search for a purpose.They both found short work as woodcutters for an log company for a good bit of their lifetime; while they were working they gained a good bit of muscle from the hundreds of trees they downed.He and his brother both stopped working at the age of 39 when they were both worn out from their long time of cutting down trees.They spent another good bit of years working for a small group of blacksmiths.
Augus quit his job at the age of 45 and wandered off again to search for a good place where he could spend time alone by himself.He is now trying to find a good city that he can stay in to think about what he should do next.

Full Name: Kili Kuldak
Current Age: 18
Sub-race (if any): Northerner
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): I was born into a small rich family. Me, along with my sister, mother, and father lived in Ager. My family had made their wealth through the wheat fields surrounding the city; My father, Alek Kuldak was a land lord and owned many fields himself. Ever since I was young, I was driven by exploration. When I was 8 years old I spent most of my time exploring every crack and crevice of Ager. My father was very paranoid of the dangers that I might run into on my adventures when I get older, so at age 10 he hired a personal trainer to teach me how to use a bow and sword. When I was 16, my hunger for exploration caused me to sneak out of my home one night and travel north to Arethor. I took only a iron sword, some leather boots, food, and 350 minas. In Arethor I searched for a place to stay for a few nights. I came upon a house with a man standing outside. When I asked the man if he could give me a place to live for a few nights he told me that he had an extra room that I could stay in for a little. He told me his name was Reddik Swive. He showed me in the house and he showed me my room. I put my stuff down and laid down to rest in the bed. The man woke me and told me it was supper time. At the supper table he told me his story of how his wife died and that he's a miner. I was intrigued by the fact that he was a miner. I had never mined in my life because my mother found it to be too dirty. I spent the next 6 months in Arethor exploring the city and learning the art of mining from Reddik. He told me of this place he always wanted to visit, Karik, the Dwarven capital. He told me how the Dwarves are the best of miners, and how he wanted to see the stone work in their city. He told me that if I ever get the chance to go to Karik then I have to come back to Arethor and tell him about it. After he had taught me the art of mining decided that it was time for me to head back to Ager because my parents must be mortified that I've been gone so long. When arrived in Ager everyone seemed to be in a panic. There was talk of a poisonous fog in the city. When i reached my parents house they greeted me with a big hug and brought me inside. They told me of how my sister Mina had ran away with a group of traveling merchants. they also informed me of what the poisonous fog was and what it had been doing to the wheat fields. The fog has been killing all the workers out in the wheat fields, and my family has been losing a lot of money. By the time I was 17 the fog had spread far into the city. Me and my father were heading towards the market when a man came up to us. "Alek, something terrible has happened." he told us. "Your wife has died. There was a sudden giant gust of wind and it brought the fog right into the market... Your wife was caught right in the middle of it." Me and my father rushed to the market. I stopped when we reached the entrance of the market because it was full of thick fog, but my father went bounding in. I waited until i saw my father come out, but that never came. When the fog cleared I saw my father and my mother lying next to each other: Dead. I went back to my house. Picked up some of my belongings and some extra money, and set out to restart my life in another city.

____
[b]1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards theEmperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b]
Answer: I look across the square and see a shady figure climbing up the wall of a building. He gets to the top and draws his knife. "Assassin!" I yell, hoping the guards will hear. The nearest guards come running over to me and ask, "Where!?". I point to the man on top of the building. The guards go running off shouting at the man to come down. The shady man makes no effort to listen to them at all, he's too focused on his mission. All of a sudden one of the guards shoots an arrow and knocks him clear off the roof. He lands and scrambles to get away. He started running towards the exit near me. I run over and "Slam!" tackle the man and pin him to the ground. I waited there until the guards came over and escorted the man to jail.
[b]2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage.Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]
Answer: I'm on my way to Arethor to visit my old friend. While walking i notice a small cottage. Outside the cottage are two rough looking bandits. They're surrounding and old man. "Where's the money?" The one bandit asks the old man. The man just stands there, too terrified to do anything. I look around and find a good sized rock to throw. :I yell, "Looking for money? Why don't you try me?" and throw the rock and hit the first bandit in the head. Not like being teased or hit with a rock the bandits turn and draw their swords. They start to charge at me and I turn and run for my life. I get deep into the woods and can hear them still running behind me. I quickly scamper up a tree and wait. I throw rocks deeper into the woods to sound like i'm still running in the same direction. Once they run by, I get down from the tree and continue on my adventure.
[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall.You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do?(Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]
Answer: "Would you like to see some fine wears my good sir?" the man behind the colorful stand asks. "Everything is for sale, and there are no set prices." I walk up to the stand and look at the mans wears. A shiny iron pickaxe with an engraved staff catches my eye. The staff is engraved with what looks like Ancient Dwarven symbols. "Where did you get this?" I ask the merchant. "I found it. Yeah, that's what I did. I found it." The merchant answers shadily. It's clearly an item that he stole from somebody. "Where?" I ask, wondering what his fake answer would be. "I don't exactly remember. Are you interested in buying this pickaxe?" He asks me. "Yes I would love to buy this pickaxe from you." I say. I pick up the pickaxe and put down 5 minas on the stall and turn to walk away. "That's not enough! That item is easily worth 50 times that much!" the merchant exclaims. "Yes it is not. But this way i don't have to tell the authorities about it. That shut the merchant up. I walked away with a smirk on my face.

[b]How old are you?[/b]: 17
[b]Time-Zone[/b]: Central
[b]Have you read, understood and agreed to the rules?:[/b] Yes
[b]What previous experience have you had in role-playing?[/b]: I've played on a partial role-play server (Massivecraft) for almost a year as well as a full role-play server (Atherys Ascended) for close to half a year.
[b]How did you hear about the Lord of the Craft?[/b]: A friend on another server mentioned they had never experienced RP as in depth as they had on Lord of the Craft, and true RP is something I've found quite hard to find, so I was very interested to discover more. Upon reading through your website, it became very evident that I wouldn't find any holes in the lore as I usually do with other RP servers. The professionalism would appear to be unmatched by any server I've come across before.

[b]Definitions[/b] In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:
[b]Role-playing:[/b] Becoming your own unique character through all aspects of the world your character lives in.
[b]Meta-gaming:[/b] To be honest, I've never heard of this term before, but since my last application was denied I looked up a very helpful post on the LOTC forums on meta gaming and read it through completely, so now I would define Meta-gaming as using OOC information to influence your behavior or actions IC.
[b]Power-emoting:[/b] An example would be if I were RP'ing with someone and I said *eman1000 (or other character name) uses dark magic to disappear before bob3000 can attack*. It would be me making some statement that doesn't allow the other player a say, which pretty much just kills the mood and purpose of RP. To put it simply, it turns a majestic battle between two kings into something more like two little boys playing rock paper scissors, but making up new moves like "bomb" or "gun" in an endless cycle of immaturity.

[b]Full Name:[/b] Sarius Horus Erebus
[b]Current Age:[/b] 24
[b]Sub-race (if any):[/b] Northern Human
[b]Past / History[/b] (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): (from my perspective; I'll combine both paragraphs into one). I lived in a small, quaint village, raised by a loving father and mother along the Northern stretches of Oren. I was able to enjoy a hard, yet peaceful and rewarding lifestyle for some time at least. My father wasn't a warrior like most of the other boys' fathers in the village; he was a farmer instead, reaping what he could from the soil. The whole town relied on him for his grain and carrots, but the town's favorite was his famous baked potatoes he served piping hot from his stand every Saturday night. The warm aroma tempted even the most antisocial away from their work to join in celebration of a week's labor complete. However, it was one of these very Saturday nights that everything took a turn for the worse. Undead seemed to materialize all around the central plaza. All I could do was curl up into a ball as screams erupted all around me. One of the undead clubbed me on the head with the butt of his sword, and everything turned to blackness. I woke up days later in the town's makeshift hospital. I expected to see many more around me, but it was empty, with the exception of a woman with a bandaged arm, and rows of bloodstained cots. An unfamiliar man sat down at the foot of my bed. "You're lucky to be alive" I remember him saying. He had very sharp features; dark brown hair, similar to my own, and eyes so brown they were almost black. "Where are my parents?" I asked, but my hope was all but diminished. "Your parents died a valiant death. You'll be staying with me. I know I'm not your mom or dad, but I'll try my best." That man, Thantos, raised me and taught me in the way of the sword, however I was very inexperienced. With every strike at a straw dummy, I imagined striking down another undead, and another, and another. I wished to avenge my parent's deaths, but I was in no condition to be seeking revenge; I was far too inexperienced. For now, I must train further, and wait for an oppurtunity to serve.
[b]Ambitions for the Future[/b]:[/b] Strengthening sword skills, finding a job to make a few minos, possibly joining a local army or police force after being a citizen for a considerable amount of time.

____
[b]1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b]
Answer: I hold my tongue; reputation is important to me, and I do not wish to make a fool of myself amongst people who may one day be my allies. However, curiosity compels me to follow the figure closer. Should he stray from going directly towards the palace, I'll refrain from following him, but rather watch from a distance until he's out of sight. Should he continue to make way towards the palace with a deliberate pace, I will quickly make my way to the nearest guard, tell him privately the situation, and let him handle it, rather then make myself out to be a boy who cried wolf in such a public area.
[b]2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather amour and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]
Answer: I think back to how vulnerable I felt during the attack on my village; the anger surges through me. However, first I make myself known to the bandits and shout confidently "Leave this man alone; he has done you no harm." I will then proceed to bluff and tell the bandits that there are 4 others coming along. Should they choose to retreat, I will come to the old man and accept his thanks, and perhaps sit down for a cup of tea, should he offer me one. Should the bandits begin advancing, I will rely on my instinct to fight them. I won't get too detailed on how exactly I would go about fighting them, but I would first tell the old man to run and get help.
[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]
Answer: I would approach the man first by saying "You claim to sell just about everything, is this true?". He would agree, probably with some boastfulness as well. "I am in need of an iron sword, best quality you have available." The man would then produce a fine iron sword, from a chest behind him, fitting my description perfectly. I offer 75 Minas, but he must insist upon 120 Minas. I know he can go lower, but appealing to a merchant's compassion never works, so instead I tell him "I'm in town for another week, and I'm sure I can get an iron sword for cheaper, wouldn't you agree? However, you're a nice man, so I'll offer you 90 Minas. The merchant would most likely agree, be it reluctantly.

Definitions
Role-playing: Taking the actions and thoughts of a created character with his/hers own personality. You, as the player, control the character, but you have to stay within the boundaries of that character.
Meta-gaming: Gaining information as the player, out of character, to use it for the knowledge of the character, in character. Example: the player knows a character's name by looking at his nameplate, and suddenly his own character knows his name too.
Power-emoting: Performing actions as your character that are out of the characters mental and/or physical boundaries, doing something as your character that your character wouldn't be able to do realisticly. Example: my character, a Halfling, casually kills a orc with a wooden spoon.
In-Character
Information:
Full Name: Durrak Uskrad.
Current Age: 84
Sub-race (if any): Cave Dwarf.
Clan (if any): None.
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):[/b]
As a child Durrak was always busy making little wooden swords made from sticks he found lying around to play with it and act like a warrior. While his dad played the bad villain he would play the hero and defeat the him. This was what Durrak did most of the time, if his dad was home ofcourse, but if he was alone he would usually play with his brother Fargrim and played a made-up story every time they would play together. While they were doing this, their mom just watched and laughed at the things the little
Dwarfs did and at the great imagination they had, and after a while she would
say: ‘’Come inside boys, I baked some cake and have a nice drink for you both.’’.
And the boys would drop their wooden swords on the ground and run inside to
enjoy the fresh baked caked their mother made for them. When Durrak was older
he started working at a blacksmith in his hometown and learned a little bit
about minerals and ores. When he was old enough, he and his brother went on a
adventure to live a new life in Anthos.
Durrak and his brother came with the boat to
Anthos. When he arrived he found an pamphlet that said something about a
Dwarven clan. After that he joined a Dwarven clan where he got lots of training
in the art of combat. He got very skilled after years of hard training and
learned a lot about the use of lances. He trained hard every day and learned to
master the lance with training every day from sunrise to sunset. He read books
and practiced with the lance with the help of his training partner and his
leader who learned him a lot about the lance and its history. Because the
leader’s favorite weapon of choice was the lance as well. The leader always
told him: ‘’One day you will be the best soldier we have ever trained.’’ and
this gave Durrak lots of hope and that’s what kept him going. After years of
hard training, reading and lots of cuts and bruises from the fighting, of which
he still got a scar on the left side of his chest, he finally learned how to
master the lance. He was a great soldier in the dwarven clan that knew how to
use the lance instead of his companions who used battle axes. Over the years he
got in higher ranks because he was so skilled and even learned his friends some
of his best tricks. He started as an unskilled dwarf with almost no knowledge
about the art of combat and grew to a great soldier in the Dwarven clan he had
joined. Later on he found out that the general was planning to use the clan to
go on a suicide mission. With around 500 men they wanted to try and take over
the home of the humans: The holy Oren Empire. He warned his friends about this
plan and they got away safely at night without anyone noticing them. So he
needed to go somewhere else and went on an adventure to search his brother to
join the caravan his brother was in. But finding his brother wasn’t easy
because he travelled around the world with his caravan. After Durrak and his
friends split up because they went home, he needed a place to stay for a while
and to write a letter to his brother Fargrim. So he found a little inn where he
could stay and started writing the letter which said:
’’ Dear Fargrim,
Not too long ago I found out
the army I join had evil plans on taking over The Holy Oren Empire so I left
and got a nice place to stay for awhile. But what I wanted to ask is if I
could join the caravan you’re in, and be the guard of the caravan. I would like
to hear much about your adventures and would love it to meet you soon my
brother. I hope I will hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Durrak.’’
And he posted it. After a
while he received a letter from his brother which said:
‘’ Dear Durrak,
My dear brother, I haven’t
spoken to you in years! I would love you to join our caravan and be the guard
of it, we need one of them. I have travelled much and would love to meet you
soon. So if you travel to the city of Salvus we can meet up there. And then you
could join our caravan as our guard. I will tell you everything of my
adventures when we meet up. I will see you soon my brother.
Regards,
Fargrim’’
So Durrak went to the city of Salvus
where he met his brother’s after many years and met the friends of his brother.
As his brother said he could join the caravan and be the guard of it. And then
he went on an adventure with his brother and his new made friends.
Ambitions for the Future: Durrak would like to join the caravan where his brother is in. He would be the guard of it and helps the caravan get safely around the world and defend the caravan and its members with his life. Help the caravan get big and popular amongst the people. And improving his skills in how to use the lance and learning how to use the crossbow.
Personality: Durrak is a Dwarf who is nice to all people that are nice to him, but if
they are not, he will be an intimidating Dwarf that you need to look out for.
Durrak protects the innocent and the weaker people and is loyal to all of his
best friends. But he is inpatient, sometimes stubborn and he doesn’t trust many
people.
Skills: He knows a bit about ores and minerals because he worked in an blacksmith. And he knows how to use the lance pretty good, but he might need some improvement here and there.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Durrak has dark orange hair and has the same brown eyes as his brother.
Any other details you wish to share about your character: None.
Open-Response-Questions
1. Whilst mining deep in the undergrounds
of Kalos you see a large deposit of
diamond ore at the other side of the ravine you are on. There is a very thin rock bridge that looks precariously unstable, but it is the only way to
access the deposit. What do you do?
Answer: Durrak throws
some stones at the bridge and poke it with a pickaxe to see if it holds. The
bridge holds. Durrak safely places a foot on the bridge. A bit crumbles off in
the middle of the bridge. Durrak takes away his foot and doesn’t bother getting
the diamonds anymore because he doesn’t want to risk his life.
2. You are sitting in the local tavern with a large pint of
ale in your hand - sitting nearby you is a rather young dwarf whom is clearly going
through a bad time. He is crying to himself, and clutching a small
wooden hammer toy. In the other corner of the room two shady dwarves are
sitting whispering to each other and pointing
occasionally at the Dwarf. They stand up, one with a small dagger in his hand and begin to approach the young dwarf. What do you do?
Answer: As the two
Dwarves approach, Durrak places his hand on the lance that's leaning on the
table. "What 'yer gettin' in yer 'ead ther', ma'e?", he says to one
of the Dwarves. The child looks hopefully at Durrak as he stands next to him. "Git
out of me way, ye fool. It ain't ye business!'', one of the Dwarves says. Durrak
takes his lance and holds it right before the Dwarves's faces, the blade
glittering in the light. ''Move 'long now, lil' one. 'Urry.'', hey says to the
child and he hurries away. As one of the Dwarves tries to move forward, Durrak
places the grip of his lance before him, looking him in the eyes ''Yer' not gittin'
trough 'ere, ye bugga!’’ The Dwarves nod to each other, knowing it will be a
lost fight, and move on with their business.
3. Whilst wandering through the Dwarven Caverns you hear a voice call out to you; “Oi, ye’! C’mere n’ get yerself an ale!”. You spin on your heel and see a heavily bearded bar-owner looking at you - a huge grin on
his face, and a mug of ale in his hand. How do you react?
Answer: Durrak looks
at the dwarf with a confused look. ’’ What’s in tha’ ale of yers.’’. The barman
became a bit nervous. ‘’Uhh… erm just a goo’ ol’ale brewed by me father.’’.
Durrak came closer to take a look at it and sniffed the ale. ‘’ I don’ trus’
this ale of yers’’, the barman stutters,‘’ Bu’ bu’ its realle’ goo’. Why don’
ye trust me?’’. Durrak looks at him, ‘’ Because I ‘ave more imporan’ things to
do than listen to a bragger like ye’’. The barman opens his mouth wide. ‘’ Goo’
day sir’’, Durrak says while he turns around and walks away.

Full Name: Yuki Shironome
Current Age: 93
Sub-race (if any): None, just a ordinary Elf.
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
Yuki was born at the city of Salvus, but when she was born, she....was disabled. She was born with autism. All of the other children would make fun of her, because she was a elf, and could barely understand their games, and the way they generally spoke to her. Her parents tried to be supportive of her condition, but it was terribly difficult, as almost daily she came home with at least one black eye. At age 12, she finally mastered speech, but she still was insulted by the other children.
Eventually, Yuki and her family had decided to move to Malinor, because of Yuki taking in constant bullying... but when Yuki and her family were moving, she got mixed up with another group, and lost her parents in the process. The family who found her felt sorry for her, and took her to find her parents. Unsuccessful, they decided to take her to live with them in Normandor in Malinor.
However, it was not this way for all time. 20 years had passed living with her new family, happy, but often missing her real parents. Eventually she decided it was time to go back to Asulon to find her real parents.
Once in Asulon she found that she had arrived in the nick of time to not be left behind by the boats leaving for the new lands. Lost in the fray, she was temporarily distracted from her goal of finding her parents. On the elven ship, she searched up and down in order to find her long lost mother and father, only to find that they weren’t there. After realizing the truth, she looked for her foster parents, to find that they were not there either. And that was it. She couldn’t do any more, as she realized. She couldn’t keep looking, there wasn’t anything left. She was alone, and she knew it.
Every night on the boat, she wept for her lost parents and foster parents. During the day, she sat alone, and did not speak to anyone. Only on one day, did she meet someone, or rather, they met her. Aisos Oneiri, greeting with a smile and an outstretched hand. Aisos was an odd fellow, even stranger so than Yuki herself. Yuki normally wore a green dress in her days on the ship, as it matched her emerald eyes. Aisos’s attire was much different, wearing an informal leather jacket and blue undershirt. Aisos had brilliant green hair, and eyes to match. But his most strange attribute was his skin, which was a pale green. Once in Elysium, Aisos and Yuki split for some time, and Yuki lived on her own for the time in Elysium, only moving to go to the Elven division of Kalos.
Once it was announced that the ships were leaving to Anthos, she quickly packed up, as life in Elysium was terribly boring and uneventful for her, and she soon learned it was the same for Aisos. They travelled to Anthos, and parted again, but only temporarily. Preparing to leave and staying with the monks for only a few weeks, she soon left to Salvus, where she knew she would find Aisos...
After that, Yuki’s life story has been up to date, and no further reactions have occurred.
Ambitions for the Future: To feel like a normal person, and have a simple, peaceful life.
Personality: Shy, sensitive, and mostly calm...Mostly. When provoked her temper can flare quite quickly, but if the perpetrator is proven to have meant no harm, she is quite forgiving.
Skills: Despite her disability, she actually can move quickly.

1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react?
Answer:
Yuki was wandering through the forests, as she saw a group of High Elves insulting the little Wood Elf. She promptly walked up to the group of High Elves and exclaimed, “E-Exuse me?...What are you doing to that helpless Wood Elf?!” The group of High Elves took a few steps back, only for one of them to say “Why do you care? Keep moving, woman.” Yuki, angrily started yelling at the group of High Elves about how they should respect others. After arguing with the group, Yuki went back on her way to her destination.
2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?
Answer: Yuki, whilst looking for a nearby inn, noticed a old man walking by with a stick, when he collapses right in front of her. Yuki notices the pouch of coins that fell out of the old man’s pocket, but ignores it; and rushed to the man and said, “Oh my goodness...Are you ok?!” Yuki tries to help the man get back up, handing him his walking stick and his pouch of gold coins. The old man thanked her, and continued going to where ever he was going.
3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).
Answer:
Travelling along, Yuki notices the colored carriage with the traders standing outside of it. The traders call Yuki over to talk about their wares. Yuki walks over to the man, unsure of what he wants as she asks him, “W-What do you need?..”. The man then tells her of all the things his carriage sells and that he is willing to haggle for prices. The man tells her, “We have a fine bow here,” The man points to it. “Would you like it? Its only for 73 minas. Fine craftsmanship as well, it was made in the capital!” another merchant pitches in, “By monks!” Yuki looks at him in astonishment and says “I don’t think I have that many minas...” Yuki looks at her pouch and looks to see if she has that much coins, “I only have 52...Maybe we could lower the price?”. The man looks at her with a semi-aggravated look and says “52?! I’m sorry...but thats..pretty low.” Yuki glances at the man and says “Please...I need something to defend myself.” The merchant sighs and says “Alright...52 it is.” Yuki hands over the money, and receives the bow. Unfortunately it did not come with arrows...

In-Character
Information:
Full Name: Durrak Uskrad.
Current Age: 84
Sub-race (if any): Cave Dwarf.
Clan (if any): None.
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):[/b]
As a child Durrak was always busy making little wooden swords made from sticks he found lying around to play with it and act like a warrior. While his dad played the bad villain he would play the hero and defeat the him. This was what Durrak did most of the time, if his dad was home ofcourse, but if he was alone he would usually play with his brother Fargrim and played a made-up story every time they would play together. While they were doing this, their mom just watched and laughed at the things the little
Dwarfs did and at the great imagination they had, and after a while she would
say: ‘’Come inside boys, I baked some cake and have a nice drink for you both.’’.
And the boys would drop their wooden swords on the ground and run inside to
enjoy the fresh baked caked their mother made for them. When Durrak was older
he started working at a blacksmith in his hometown and learned a little bit
about minerals and ores. When he was old enough, he and his brother went on a
adventure to live a new life in Anthos.
Durrak and his brother came with the boat to
Anthos. When he arrived he found an pamphlet that said something about a
Dwarven clan. After that he joined a Dwarven clan where he got lots of training
in the art of combat. He got very skilled after years of hard training and
learned a lot about the use of lances. He trained hard every day and learned to
master the lance with training every day from sunrise to sunset. He read books
and practiced with the lance with the help of his training partner and his
leader who learned him a lot about the lance and its history. Because the
leader’s favorite weapon of choice was the lance as well. The leader always
told him: ‘’One day you will be the best soldier we have ever trained.’’ and
this gave Durrak lots of hope and that’s what kept him going. After years of
hard training, reading and lots of cuts and bruises from the fighting, of which
he still got a scar on the left side of his chest, he finally learned how to
master the lance. He was a great soldier in the dwarven clan that knew how to
use the lance instead of his companions who used battle axes. Over the years he
got in higher ranks because he was so skilled and even learned his friends some
of his best tricks. He started as an unskilled dwarf with almost no knowledge
about the art of combat and grew to a great soldier in the Dwarven clan he had
joined. Later on he found out that the general was planning to use the clan to
go on a suicide mission. With around 500 men they wanted to try and take over
the home of the humans: The holy Oren Empire. He warned his friends about this
plan and they got away safely at night without anyone noticing them. So he
needed to go somewhere else and went on an adventure to search his brother to
join the caravan his brother was in. But finding his brother wasn’t easy
because he travelled around the world with his caravan. After Durrak and his
friends split up because they went home, he needed a place to stay for a while
and to write a letter to his brother Fargrim. So he found a little inn where he
could stay and started writing the letter which said:
’’ Dear Fargrim,
Not too long ago I found out
the army I join had evil plans on taking over The Holy Oren Empire so I left
and got a nice place to stay for awhile. But what I wanted to ask is if I
could join the caravan you’re in, and be the guard of the caravan. I would like
to hear much about your adventures and would love it to meet you soon my
brother. I hope I will hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Durrak.’’
And he posted it. After a
while he received a letter from his brother which said:
‘’ Dear Durrak,
My dear brother, I haven’t
spoken to you in years! I would love you to join our caravan and be the guard
of it, we need one of them. I have travelled much and would love to meet you
soon. So if you travel to the city of Salvus we can meet up there. And then you
could join our caravan as our guard. I will tell you everything of my
adventures when we meet up. I will see you soon my brother.
Regards,
Fargrim’’
So Durrak went to the city of Salvus
where he met his brother’s after many years and met the friends of his brother.
As his brother said he could join the caravan and be the guard of it. And then
he went on an adventure with his brother and his new made friends.
Ambitions for the Future: Durrak would like to join the caravan where his brother is in. He would be the guard of it and helps the caravan get safely around the world and defend the caravan and its members with his life. Help the caravan get big and popular amongst the people. And improving his skills in how to use the lance and learning how to use the crossbow.
Personality: Durrak is a Dwarf who is nice to all people that are nice to him, but if
they are not, he will be an intimidating Dwarf that you need to look out for.
Durrak protects the innocent and the weaker people and is loyal to all of his
best friends. But he is inpatient, sometimes stubborn and he doesn’t trust many
people.
Skills: He knows a bit about ores and minerals because he worked in an blacksmith. And he knows how to use the lance pretty good, but he might need some improvement here and there.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Durrak has dark orange hair and has the same brown eyes as his brother.
Any other details you wish to share about your character: None.
Open-Response-Questions
1. Whilst mining deep in the undergrounds
of Kalos you see a large deposit of
diamond ore at the other side of the ravine you are on. There is a very thin rock bridge that looks precariously unstable, but it is the only way to
access the deposit. What do you do?
Answer: Durrak throws
some stones at the bridge and poke it with a pickaxe to see if it holds. The
bridge holds. Durrak safely places a foot on the bridge. A bit crumbles off in
the middle of the bridge. Durrak takes away his foot and doesn’t bother getting
the diamonds anymore because he doesn’t want to risk his life.
2. You are sitting in the local tavern with a large pint of
ale in your hand - sitting nearby you is a rather young dwarf whom is clearly going
through a bad time. He is crying to himself, and clutching a small
wooden hammer toy. In the other corner of the room two shady dwarves are
sitting whispering to each other and pointing
occasionally at the Dwarf. They stand up, one with a small dagger in his hand and begin to approach the young dwarf. What do you do?
Answer: As the two
Dwarves approach, Durrak places his hand on the lance that's leaning on the
table. "What 'yer gettin' in yer 'ead ther', ma'e?", he says to one
of the Dwarves. The child looks hopefully at Durrak as he stands next to him. "Git
out of me way, ye fool. It ain't ye business!'', one of the Dwarves says. Durrak
takes his lance and holds it right before the Dwarves's faces, the blade
glittering in the light. ''Move 'long now, lil' one. 'Urry.'', hey says to the
child and he hurries away. As one of the Dwarves tries to move forward, Durrak
places the grip of his lance before him, looking him in the eyes ''Yer' not gittin'
trough 'ere, ye bugga!’’ The Dwarves nod to each other, knowing it will be a
lost fight, and move on with their business.
3. Whilst wandering through the Dwarven Caverns you hear a voice call out to you; “Oi, ye’! C’mere n’ get yerself an ale!”. You spin on your heel and see a heavily bearded bar-owner looking at you - a huge grin on
his face, and a mug of ale in his hand. How do you react?
Answer: Durrak looks
at the dwarf with a confused look. ’’ What’s in tha’ ale of yers.’’. The barman
became a bit nervous. ‘’Uhh… erm just a goo’ ol’ale brewed by me father.’’.
Durrak came closer to take a look at it and sniffed the ale. ‘’ I don’ trus’
this ale of yers’’, the barman stutters,‘’ Bu’ bu’ its realle’ goo’. Why don’
ye trust me?’’. Durrak looks at him, ‘’ Because I ‘ave more imporan’ things to
do than listen to a bragger like ye’’. The barman opens his mouth wide. ‘’ Goo’
day sir’’, Durrak says while he turns around and walks away.

[b]1. Whilst in the
mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure
stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s
palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b]
Answer: Jarin runs up to one of the guards and whispers "Keep an
eye out for that man who just walked in." the guard nods his head
slightly, and walks into the palace. Jarin walks close behind him. Once inside
the palace they notice the shady figure again. the guard yells "Stop right
there!" and the figure bolts to the left, only to be stopped by two more
guards standing by the door to the dining room. The assassin pulls out a knife,
and stabs one of the two guards by the dining room in the chest. The guard let
out an agonizing cry before falling to the ground. The other guards rush
him, and the guard Jarin warned earlier stabbed the assassin through his back
with his sword. The guards thanked Jarin for warning them, and two guards
carried the wounded guard to a healer.
[b]2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large
clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armor and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]
Answer: Jarin realizes that the old man could be in danger, and walks
toward the cobbled cabin. Jarin then realizes that one of the bandits is
sheathing his sword, in retaliation Jarin charges the man and stabs him in the
back with his Longsword. The other bandit jumped back and sheathed his sword,
Jarin went for his hip, but the bandit was too fast and cut Jarin’s cheek. Jarin
retaliated and sliced off the bandits head. The old man came up to Jarin,
shaking but not harmed and thanked him for saving his life from the bandits.
[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human
capital when you notice a small man standing behind a
colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]
Answer: Jarin approaches the stall and see’s a steel sword sitting on a shelf in the stall
“How much for that sword?” says Jarin “Well what price were you thinking of?”
Replied the merchant “How about 70 minas?” the merchant picks up the sword and
puts it the front counter. “Well… I could let it go for about 80 minas, but no
less.” Jarin only had 70 minas in his pocket at the time “Well I’m not going
any higher than 70 minas.” The merchant
looks at him with a sneer “This is fine sword lad, I’m not just going to let it
go for 70 minas!” Jarin had to think of something quick, swords like the one
the merchant was selling don’t come around that often, because it was a really
fine sword indeed. “I think I will just go to that stall on the other side of
the street and buy a sword, he is selling them for about 65 minas each.” Says
Jarin with a grin “65 minas! For a steel sword! No one would sell a sword like
that at that price!” Yells the merchant “Fine. 70 minas for the sword.” Jarin
hands the merchant the money which he quickly snatched, and handed Jarin the
sword. “Pleaser doing business with you.” And with that Jarin walked away with
his brand new steel sword.

1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the
sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you
realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small
Wood Elf child. How do you react?
Answer:
- Aliel's footsteps landed gently on the leaf covered ground. The faint noise of voices caught her attention, taking her to a scene that unfolded before her. A small child, mali'ame, was practicing with his bow and doing rather horribly. It was showing on his face his frustration and how upset he was by those that were mocking him. A small group a High Elves. Ali's pale gray face darkened as her eyes narrowed. First she would help the child, then she would deal with the Mali'aheral.
Ali walked up to the child who had again missed his target of an apple on a log. He looked over at her, scared at first but she kneeled down and coo'd softly, "Shh look. Can I help?" She asked, holding out her hands toward the young boy. He sniffs, wiping away some fallen tears and nods holding out his bow and an arrow. Instead of taking it, Ali stands next to him. She took the next few minutes to show the boy a better stance, and he shot the apple on his next few shots. When he went to thank her, she was already gone. Facing against the High Elves who were mocking the boy.
"I don't know who you are, but I know who you think you are. You are not that here. And your fun is over. Look, the boy made the shot. Now if you could kindly be on your way, I'm sure you mali'aheral's have a much better place to be than this." Her voice growled, her purple eyes fierce. Glaring as the group lifted their chins with huffs and walked off.
2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come
across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses
in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud.
Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins,
which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins
across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless -
what do you do?
Answer:
- Ali watched the man collapse, falling quickly to her knee's to pick him up and sit him up right, asking him if he was alright. Her violet eyes followed his gaze to the gold that was spread across the pathway. She moved to collect it all, pouring it all back into his pouch and handing it to him. She promised him that she would find him some help before she would even think to leave him there.
3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come
across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits.
A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling
you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells
just about everything, and that he's willing for you to
haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please
include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion
involved).
Answer:
- Ali looked through his wares, a certain violin catching her eye. It was made of a sturdy maple, and was a deep red color. With a matching bow and rosin. She asked him about it and he responded with a price that was a bit out of her budget. He mentioned he would haggle so she placed a hand on her hip and gave another look at the violin.
"Mind if I play it a bit?" She asked and the man shook his head.
"No 'mam. Please do. I haven't heard a good song in ages it seems."
Ali smiled and after fiddling with the sound a bit, she played a quick song her father had taught her. The man smiled at her talent and took the violin back from her.
"It sure is nice isn't it?" He asked her, a big smile on his face.
Ali knew it was a very nice violin, but she was a smarter girl than to put it out there. "It's alright.."
"Just alright?!?"
"It's alright.."
"Hmm. How much ya want for it?"
"I can trade you this bracelet for it."
Ali said, holding out her arm where a simple gold bracelet lay at home. In the middle of one of the loops of the bracelet laid a shiny purple gem. She had found the bracelet in a walk through a city, she couldn't find the owner so she kept it. The merchant seemed to like this idea and nodded. Ali traded him the bracelet and left being the one coming out ahead in the deal.

Role-playing: When you take on the role of another being in another world. You control, sense, and are that being.Example: Kevin in real life is a smart, young boy, but when he gets on Lord of the Craft, he is an old 1000 year old elf. Kevin lives the life of the elf and, makes all decisions for his character.
Meta-gaming: When someone uses external sources to effect In-Game experience to get an advantage. This is wrong in my opinion and should never happen. Example: Sally knows Bob in real life.

Power-emoting: When someone emotes against another person, and that person being emoted against can not prevent it. Example: Someone goes up to another person and does. *Bob slaps Sally* <-- There's no way Sally can prevent this and this is power emoting.

Full Name: Kelvin Grove Wisp
Current Age: 200
Sub-race (if any): Wood Elf
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
Kelvin was born to a poor family. He couldn't get food from the local towns. His father, Arthus, always believed that hunting was the key to survival. His mother, Elest was an exceptional gatherer. She always brought ripe fruits and vegetables to the dinner plate. Kelvin was always taught to be a mannered person, but rarely talked to other people living out in the wilderness. He was always never allowed to leave their yard alone. Kelvin's father took Kelvin out to hunt every week. They would bring an abundance of food. Every few months, Arthus would go to the local town and collect house supplies. All the furniture in Kelvin's home was made from gathered materials. They didn't have the money to buy a house, so they built one instead. Kelvin's grandfather was a very wise old elf. He knew the ancient Elven tongue well. He had past away before Kelvin's father was even born, so the language had been lost in the family.
Kelvin was a master archer. He was very talented in archery, and even surpassed his own father, who taught him how to first handle a bow and arrow. Kelvin had some weaknesses though. He did not know how to properly hold a sword. He was also not as big in body shape for him being a Wood Elf. He also doesn't have great stamina. He isn't as tough as the other elves, but he is agile, fast reactor, and deadly archer. One day changed his life completely and led him to a world of adventure. On a stormy night, when Kelvin was fast asleep, Vicious Orc raiders wandered the woods near his home. His parents were up hoping the raiders don't find them. Arthus grabbed his bow that was handcrafted by Kelvin's grandfather. The bow was given the name, Celest. Arthus would some day hand Celest down to Kelvin when the time was right. When Arthus aimed to grab the door handle, a rock flung by an orc hit the door. Arthus stumbled backward, and saw six angry orcs with axes run toward the house. They were about 50 yard away. Arthus opened the door and opened fire on the orcs. While Kelvin's mother, Elest woke up Kelvin and told him to run to the hill right behind the home. Kelvin ran straight up to the top of the hill. Trying to see if his parents were alright. Every now and again he saw an orc running,then the orc disappeared under the trees. Just a few minutes later, Kelvin's mother caught up and hugged Kelvin. Kelvin was worrying for his father, so without hesitation, he ran down the hill and glanced to the right. He saw his father stumble over a rock and tumble into a bush. He ran straight to his father, picked up Celest and an arrow. He looked up, and saw an orc running straight toward him. He aimed Celest, and fired.
After the raid attack from the orcs. Kelvin and his family became different. They were more cautious, and had emergency plans. Kelvin's father only suffered minor bruises and cuts. He had taken out five of the six orc warriors with Celest. Kelvin had finished the last orc. The orcs had almost killed Kelvin's father. Arthus knew that now was the time to pass down Celest to Kelvin. The bow he had cherished would now be in Kelvin's hands. Kelvin has grown up now, and is ready to explore the rest of the world.
Ambitions for the Future: Kelvin wants to be the best archer ever known. Kelvin also wants to be a very successful elf and become a part of the economy.
Personality:Kelvin is a well mannered elf. He is charming and loves to go out hunting. He can be ruthless when tempted to.
Skills: He is a master archer. He also is skilled in gathering and harvesting.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):
Kelvin has light brownish skin. He has brunette hair color. Dark eyes. He wears archer clothing.He Always has a quiver full of arrows on his back. He is tall and slightly slender.
Any other details you wish to share about your character: Kelvin is ambitious and any goals he has, he will attempt to fulfill his goal. Kelvin is also very agile.

____
[b]1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react?[/b]
Answer: Kelvin clenches his teeth, as the sight of this sickened him. He pondered on ideas to help the young wood elf. He decided to run up to the young boy, and take him back to town. As Kelvin walked up to the Wood Elf child, one of the High Elves grimaced, and said, " Is that your puny daddy there. Well he's about to get a beating. " The three High Elves started drawing their magical weapons at me. One High Elf conjured a small fireball and shot it at me. Kelvin rolled over to the side just barely dodging it by a few inches. Kelvin screamed, " We don't have to fight, just withdraw your weapons and let this boy go!" The obnoxious High Elves ignored Kelvin and kept shooting fireballs at him. The Wood Elf had become frightened and ran through the woods. Kelvin ran after him, he kept on sprinting and then halted. He was breathing hard, and couldn't run much further. The High Elves were on his tail. Kelvin couldn't see the Wood Elf child anywhere, then thought to himself that it may be better if he's away from the High Elves. Then Kelvin spotted a twig snap above him. The Wood Elf had climbed the tree in front of Kelvin. The High Elves had caught up to Kelvin by now, but Kelvin with Celest aimed at them, fired 2 arrows until he was knocked out by a fireball. He was burnt on his left arm and leg. He had crippled two of the High Elves though. The 2 High Elves retreated back into the woods, while the remaining one started walking up to Kelvin. Kelvin drew an arrow, but his hold on Celest slipped and he dropped the bow. The High Elf snickered and said, " You are a pretty good shot, its too bad your about to be burned alive. " Just as the High Elf was about to conjure another fireball, he was hit on head with a rock. As The High Elf tumbled forward right at Kelvin, Kelvin saw the Wood Elf child holding a few pebbles picked up from the earth. Kelvin took a few looks at the High Elf, and it seemed as the High Elf was out cold. Kelvin said between gasps, " Thanks kid, you saved my life." The Wood Elf Child, smiled and ran off into the woods.
[b]2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?[/b]
Answer: The old man manages to get one raspy word out before knocking out, "Help." Kelvin becomes shocked. Kelvin immediately first suspicion was that this might be the Wood Elf Child he encountered before. Kelvin dismisses the thought, as that was impossible for the Wood Elf Child to age this much in only a few years. Kelvin then picks up the fragile old man and lays him down near a bush. Kelvin notices the old man is bleeding, as he fell upon a twig on the grass. Kelvin takes out Celest, and glances around the woods, making sure no one was chasing the old man. Kelvin saw no one so he withdrew Celest. Kelvin notices the old man is a Wood Elf, but can't determine his age. He also noticed the old man had battle scars on his arm. Kelvin took out is medicine bag,and took out some mixed herbs and smothered it across the wound. Kelvin then took out a strip of cloth and wrapped it around the old man's leg, where he was badly cut by the twig. The old man started to regain consciousness and opened his eyes. The old man was shocked and took out a hidden knife he had tucked in the worn robe he was wearing. The robe was dirty and had many holes in it. Kelvin backed away a few steps and said, " It's alright, I'm only trying to help you. " The old man then relaxed and dropped the knife. Kelvin walked up and took the knife, " I'll take this for now. " Kelvin had no idea where this man came from. Then the old man started to speak, " I was running from the town that was being raided. I couldn't bring any of my belongings except that knife and a few coins, that should be somewhere. Kelvin looked around and just now saw the gold coins spread out on the floor a few yards away. Kelvin went and picked up the coins, he noticed that the coins looked very valuable and might be worth plenty minas. He puts the coins back into the pouch and tightens it. Kelvin hands the pouch to the old man and asks, " Where were you headed?" The old man looks at Kelvin and responds, "I was headed to the Elven Capitol, Normandor, it should be up ahead." Kelvin helps the old man up, and takes him all the way to the capitol. As they arrive the capitol, the old man says, " Oh thank you, young elf. You had healed my wounds and helped me get to me all the way here. I am going to live here for now, and these gold coins shall help me get settled. They are very valuable and just one is worth quite a few minas. So here I will give you one coin for helping me through this. That should be enough for what you did. I will be on my way now, farewell." Kelvin says goodbye and goes on to explore the capitol, he had never been to
.
[b]3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).[/b]
Answer: The trader offers Kelvin a fine quiver made from high quality deer skin. Kelvin offers a price, " I will pay 1000 minas for this fine quiver that will hold my valuable arrows. The trader responds angrily, " No, I will not sell this fine quiver for a mere 1000 minas! That is an outrageously low price wood elf!" Kelvin flinches as the maddened trader yells. Kelvin responds, " Please calm down, maybe we can haggle for a fair price on the quiver then." The trader cools down and then says, "Oh right, I am sorry for my yelling, I have some problems as you can see." The trader ponders for a few moments then says, " Hmm, how about 5000 minas." Kelvin responds, " I don't believe I have that many minas currently. If maybe you could lower it and I could chip in some medicine." The trader makes a face, that is neither happy nor angry. Then responds with, " What sort of medicine, and how much minas with it?" Kelvin replies, " Medicine that I have made with my skill in herbalism and made from fine herbs I have searched throughout the Elven woods for. I would also like to pay 2500 minas. The medicine could also be sold for a nice profit too. As this is a one of a kind recipe that my mother had told me. This medicine will help any cut, wound, or scrape." The trader looked a tad surprised and then reclaims, "If you could make it 3000 minas and a bag of that medicine, we will have a deal." Kelvin thinks for a moment, then realizes he had gotten 2000 minas cheaper then what the trader originally wanted, and the medicine he could easily create again by going out to collect the herbs used to create it. Kelvin finally responds, "I'll take that deal. Thank you for the quiver." They exchange items and Kelvin equips his new high quality quiver. He then continues his adventure.

Full Name: Vectis Vekon.
Current Age: Eighteen years old.
Sub-race (if any): None.
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
Born in Ager, Vectis was raised the son of a shepherd. ( He is not Rolf from Ed, Edd, and Eddy ) When Vectis's father wasn't tending the herd, he was teaching his son swordplay and how to read and write, being a veteran man-at-arms of the Oren Lances. Vectis enjoyed these lessons and when he was idle would often be found with either sword or book in hand. When he grew old enough to look after the herd himself, he would often forsake the staff and bring his father's sword to the field and sharpen it, sometimes hoping a wolf might stray towards his flock so he could strike it down. His mother was a quiet, godly woman who often lectured in lessons of the true faith and quoted parables passed from her peers to relate to their life.
When he came of age, he bid farewell to his parents, following the advice of his mother to 'find his own way'. His father proudly bestowed upon his son the heirloom of his sword and with it, he set out onto the road to find his own way.
Ambitions for the Future: Vectis is young and naive and often dreams about enlisting in the Oren Lances or becoming a great scholar.
Personality: Vectis is friendly if not racist; wise if not ignorant, and strong if not afraid.
Skills: He is literate, well skilled with a sword for his age, and damn fine at herding sheep.

He is neither muscular nor weak, nor skinny or fat. Vectis speaks in an eloquent tenor voice, rather surprising for the son of a shepherd.

____
1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?
Answer: Spotting the malicious figure, I shout with certainty as to the potential assailant's agenda, "Guards! Assassin!" Drawing my father's sword, I join them in apprehending the individual, regardless of their true intentions. The guards, impressed by my handiwork, reward me with a few Minas.
2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?
Answer: Stepping forth with courage in my heart and an overwhelming sense to do good, I draw my father's sword and shout to the bandits to step away or be cleaved in twain! One of them step forward to handle me but I outmaneuver him in my lighter armor, splitting him in half horizontally with a powerful sweep of my sword. As the second bandit now turns on me, I shout, "now!" as the old man rushes forward, stabbing the bandit in the back, ending him. The old man invites me in to share in his drink, but I have more important things to do, and set off.
3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).
Answer: Laying my eyes upon a set of iron armor, I point towards it and say, "that one". He responds with a smile and asks a price. "Four-hundred and ninety Minas."
"Five-hundred and fourty Minas."
"Hm-... Five-hundred and twenty Minas-.. and I'll add three cuts of wool."
"Deal!"
And so I take the armor and exchange the wool with the merchant.

Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Kili Kuldak
Current Age: 18
Sub-race (if any): Northerner
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): When I was 8 years old my family moved down from the north down to the southern capital of Al'Khazar. There I spent my days going to work with my father, Tyron Kuldak, down in the mines. My father was the best of the miners because there were not many northerners in the city. My mother, Brittin Kuldak, and my sister, Hijaa Kuldak, worked at home cleaning most of the time. When I would get home from the mine my mother would teach me and my sister how to read and to write and the history of Oren.
Once when I was 10 my parents went out for the afternoon. I thought that it was a great opportunity to to go exploring outside the city because my parents didn't allow me to. I was walking down the path away from the city, when I saw a group of shadows coming from the woods. I didn't pay much attention to them because I figured it was another group of guards on their patrol. I noticed that the group was making a strange noise; it sounded like clattering bones. I looked over to see a rogue group of Undead walking right at me. The lead Undead notched an arrow in his bow, pulled it tight, and released. All of a sudden I got hurdled at the ground. My chest seared with pain, my vision was blurred. I felt cold chain-mail on me. Suddenly a roar of hollering came out of the forest, and a group of Teutonic Sariants came bounding out, charging fearlessly at the mod of Undead. The Teutonic Sariant got off of me and ran to join in the battle. I watched as they slashed at the Undead with tremendous strength and precision. when the battle was over, the man who had tackle me to save me from the arrow came walking over to me and held out his hand to pull me up. I accepted it and he pulled me up. He said to me, "You shouldn't be out here. How about you run back into the city."
"Yes Sir," I said trying to please him. "I have one question though. What were those that attacked me?"
He answered, "A group of rogue Undead that have existed since the war against the Undead. We have been tracking them down for months." He then reached into his chain-mail and yanked something off his neck. He told me to close my eyes and hold out my hand. I did as he told and I felt him put a warm chain necklace in it. I opened my eyes and saw a black chain necklace with the Teutonic black cross on the end of it. He then said, "So you remember never to endanger yourself like this ever again." I was too shocked to do anything except clench my fist down hard on the necklace. He turned and walked over to his comrades where they started walking away. I realized right then and there that when I grew up i was going to join the Teutonic Order and Become a Sariant myself.

[b]1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b]
Answer: "Hey! You there! Where do you think your going?" I yell over to him and he turns and glares at me. "Guards, do you this this man?" I yell over to the guards. The shadowed man freezes and turns to look at the guards and sees that they are walking over. He starts to sprint away. He's quick, but I'm quicker. I ran at him and "Slam!" I tackle him with tremendous force. I wait for the guards to come over and get him before I get off. I brush the dirt and dust off me and say, "Just another day in the kingdom."
[b]2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]
Answer: I rush over and push aside the bandits and walk over to the old man and turn around to face the bandits. "What are we doing here boys?" I ask.
"It's none of your business kid," one of the bandits responds, "Now run along.
"Everything is my business." I say back. The two bandits look at each other and nod. They pull out their swords, as do I. I tell the old man to back off and he follows my orders. The two bandits charge and the first one swings.
I quickly parry the attack and hit him with a strong counter strike to the torso causing him to fall to the ground. The second bandit swings and I dodge it. I kick the second bandit's shin and thrust my sword into his chest. I pull out my blood stained sword and see the first bandit hobbling away. I turn to look for the old man and see him coming out of his house with money in hand. He offers it as a reward but I refuse.
[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]
Answer: "Do you have some arrows for sale?" I asked the merchant.
"I do," the merchant answered.
"How much would 32 arrows cost?" I asked him making sure that he was the first to set a price.
"Around 192 minas." He answered.
"How about 96. That is a fairer price."
"160 and you got a deal." The merchant countered.
"Ok, we'll split the difference at 128 minas." I said.
"You got a deal!" He said. We shook hands and i gave him my 128 minas and he gave me the 32 arrows.

I played Age of Conan about 3 years ago for about a year as well. I have about 2 years worth of playing runescape previously too. (Also, I was PMed by the person who declined my previous application to ask if this is a serious role-playing server or more MMO style combat server. I said it is a serious role-playing server. I am placing this text here because I think that because all these games here are MMORPGs not plain RPGs. Just to clear thing up so I hope not to be denied because of that I am saying here that from what i have read this is a serious RP server not combat-style like mmos.)

Definitions
In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:
Role-playing: Role-playing is when you take on the role of a character and act as if you are that character. Also when you are in a group else doing a specific job. The rest of the group will then when necessary play their own roles and contribute to the success of the group. In short role-playing is several players all helping each other out in their own way.
Meta-gaming: Meta-gaming is using external information which will affect your gameplay. Eg. Using a wiki whilst trying to accomplish X and X and X. Basically giving them an advantage over other players.
Power-emoting: Also known as god-emoting, power-emoting is typing something like "Player1 kills Player2" where Player2 can’t do anything about it. The preferred emote would be something such as "Player1 tries to kill Player2 by stabbing him/her in the chest with his/her sword" so that Player2 can reply with more or less something like this “Player2 parries Player1’s blow with his/her dagger.”

Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Evareyla Leyun
Current Age: 46
Sub-race (if any): Mali'ame (Wood-Elf)
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
I grew up in Elandriel. Our (my family's) house burned down when I was seven years old. We wandered about for several years until we settled down in Normandor. When I was 22 I moved out of my parent's house. Two years later I was falsely accused of stealing from a merchant in the marketplace and was put in jail for five years.
I was finally released and I became an adventurer serving whoever paid enough, slaying dragons and monsters. I was quite experienced with the bow and trained daily when I wasn't on a mission. After about twelve years I had slain so many monsters I was nicknamed 'The Slayer'. My younger brother joined me on a mission and we decided to pair up thereafter.
Not long after we were asked by a nobleman to assassinate his brother. I refused however my brother accepted and I knew we would no longer be a team. I decided to visit my parents again after about sixteen years without seeing them. By now I was about forty years old. I attended the nature's boon with my parents and the Great hunt. While we were hunting I got a bit separated from the group and heard voices coming from the direction opposite of the group. As I drew nearer I caught snatches for a conversation. "What if we get caught? We....." says one of the voices.
"I've thought it over. We are safe here." replies another voice.
"Yes we....." adds a third.
I draw nearer and see that two of them are Wanted criminals. I mark my way as I rush back to the group and tell them of what I have seen. "Come quickly!" I gasp, so out of breath I can hardly speak. "Criminals, wanted, come!" four of us return to the spot. The criminals were still there. When we emerged from the brush the men jumped up in alarm and the first voice I heard says, "What did I say?" We all jump forwards and grab the thief’s hands. They struggle but we tie their hands behind their backs.
While escorting them to the law an arrow whizzes by my head. "Watch out! We are being attacked!" I say, "Go on without me, I will deal with our attackers." I stealthily detach from the group so that wherever the attackers may be they should be unable to see me. Another arrow flew between the group. It came from the left. I climb a tree as quietly as elvenly possible. I Spot a man on a branch in a tree about twenty meters away. I draw my bow and just as I shoot he jumps out of the tree.
"Bad luck." I mutter under my breath. I jump down and creep after him. He shoots again this time grazing the leader of the group's leg "Close." I say to my-self, "Luckily he's not a good shot with a bow." When I got closer I aimed, fired and..... Missed..... "Oh no, now he knows where I am." I whisper. He stops and turns, but just before he does I dive behind a tree. I waited until he drew nearer with my bow drawn. I heard his footsteps and jumped out from behind the tree and shot at his right arm so as to stop him from being able to shoot at me. "It's a hit!" I shouted with joy. I tied his hands and rushed with him to join the group.
When we returned to the town and turned in the criminal we were poorly rewarded. I have been living in town with my parents still. That was my greatest hunt yet.
Ambitions for the Future: I aspire to be the greatest ranger in Asulon. (Now Anthos I believe.)
Personality: Kind, friendly, honest and sometimes a bit impatient.
Skills: Healing, Growing Plants, Raising Children, Markswomanship. Hunting.

Any other details you wish to share about your character: Female, the hair is actually dyed so will vary from blonde to brown and black, and I will change clothing from time to time. But other than that the skins and face etc. will not change.
Open-Response-Questions
Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.
1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react?
Answer:
Creeping slowly forwards along the edge of the path partly in the bush I investigate more closely. I spotted a dagger in the belt of one and another has a staff but other than that they are unarmed. I get an arrow ready in case they try anything dangerous. One of them says "Look at its skin, it’s so brown, one could easily mistake it for dirt." he laughs.
"And that dirty hair!" says a second, "It looks like straw."
The child was curled into a ball on the ground crying in the middle of the group. He looked extremely scared. I pitied the child so much. I ran into the middle of the group. All four elves jumped back in fright. "It's another dirt elf!" sneered the tallest. "Get her!"
I drew my bow and shot an arrow through his shoe so as to stick it into the ground. I then drew my bow again and aimed at the nearest elf and aimed for his thigh. At this the other two jumped on me before I could draw my bow again. I decided to use my clumsy short-sword. I grazed the bigger ones arm and barely pierced the other's stomach. When the tallest managed to finally unstuck his shoe he shouted out to the others, "Run for your lives! She's a madwoman!"
When they were gone I asked the child if he was alright.
"Yes thank you." he said still crying, "I’m just a bit shaky."
"I think it would be best if I carried you back to your home, could you direct me to it?" I offered.
"It is right this way, along the path, I was heading home when those horrid elves started pushing me around."
I carried him back to his dwelling.
2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?
Answer:
I help him to his feet and check for bruises and perhaps broken bones, him being a frail old man. Upon seeing that he has none I retrieve the pouch for him and hand it over.
"Thank you kindly." he croaks while dusting off his clothing.
"It's a pleasure sir." I reply while checking the road for dangerous looking figures, "Would you like some help getting to your destination?"
"No thanks. I'm not as old as I seem." he chuckles.
"If you're sure." I say.
"Yes I am." he says. I watch him walk off slowly.
I turn and then as I walk off I hear the bushes rustling behind me but do nothing. I hear the old man shout out, "Help! Robbers! Thieves!"
I silently enter the woods and sneak around until I am behind the robbers. Approach them with my bow drawn. When I am directly behind them they notice I'm there. I hear the one whisper, "Watch out, someone’s behind our back. When I say 'What’s this you have here old man' we turn around and jump on her."
"Sure thing boss." replies the smaller thief.
I shoot the one robber in the leg and shout, "That ain't your pouch is it? You'd best be going before I really hurt you!"
When the Thieves are a good distance away I turn and help the old man again.
"Are you okay?" I ask.
"Only a bit nauseas." he says. "I could use some rest."
"Ok, but I think you had best accept my offer to escort you." I say.
"I agree with you." he smiles.
Several minutes later he gets up and takes his pouch. "I'm ready to go. I am heading to
3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do?
(Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).
Answer:
Having just found twenty minas and already had another thirty, I was in need of a new quiver I decided to see what he has in store. Perhaps it is true that he has everything. Upon seeing a suitable quiver and arrows I say, "I see you have a quiver and some arrows here." trying not to sound too enthusiastic in order to perhaps get it cheaper.
"Aye, 'tis the best I have." he lies.
"May I examine it more closely?" I ask.
"Here you go. Please be careful." he replies.
I examine it for a little while and I notice a few scratches probably from bumping in the carriage and a broken arrow. After a bit more studying I decide it is good enough. "What is your price for the quiver and the arrows?" I ask.
"How’s thirty-five minas" he says.
"The quiver is a bit scratched and this arrow is broken." I show him the flaws in the set. "I’m sure I could get a better set for the same price." I say.
The merchant thinks for a while and says "Thirty and it's yours."
Knowing I would need more than 20 minas I try to bargain for a better price.
"Twenty would be my highest." I state.
"I'm sorry madam." he says. "I will sell for no less than Twenty-five minas."
I think it over for several minutes and come to a decision.
"I will trade in my old set and pay in twenty minas for this set."
"Done" answers the merchant. "Enjoy your quiver and arrows."
"Enjoy your money." I reply.
I walk off again and continue my journey. Thrilled with the prospect of a new quiver and arrows.

Full Name: Arthur Baranthor
Current Age: 25
Sub-race (if any): Northerner
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+
paragraphs long):
Arthur grew up with his younger sister Melany (2 years
younger) and his older brother Jack ( 3 years older) in a little town on the northern
borders of The Wilds ( In Asulon ) . Arthur’s mother and father were very much
in love and cared for the children as best they could. When Arthur turned 5 (
Birthday almost at the end of The Secound Seed) his father had decided for the
good of the village that he would create a little task force to protect the
village from bandits and small groups of raiders. All was well, or so it seemed.
Only a short time after The Grand Harvest began the task force they were
thrown into action. A huge group of about 40 bandits road into town seeking
only destruction and death. The task force didn’t stand a chance. It was a
slaughter! Arthur, his sister, brother and mother managed to escape but his
father was killed protecting the village. When Arthur and what was left of the
town returned everything was in ruins, there were body’s everywhere and the
houses were still on fire. It took several years to rebuild the town and even
though Arthur was only 5 he never forgot what those bandits did. From that day
forward Arthur had sworn that he would honor his father and he would become a
knight to stop this from ever happening again. About a year after Arthur’s
father’s death people started to notice that he was lost, he didn’t know what
to be doing himself. The hunters of the village decided to be his role models,
they took him on all there fishing, camping, and hunting trips teaching him
valuable survival skills
On Arthur’s 10th birthday he was given his father’s sword,
it was rusty and dull but it was perfect to Arthur. Along with the sword his
mother gave him an Iron cross necklace. She said “ Arthur, This necklace
belonged to your grandfather, then your father, and now it belongs to you. It
symbolizes everything that is still good in this world, keep it safe and your
father will always be with you”. That day he went outside and took a broom,
some old clothes, and a bucket and made training dummy. Every day since then
rain or shine, weak or strong Arthur would hit and practice on that dummy while
dreaming of the day he would become a knight and avenge his father. On the beginning
of Arthur’s 25th Second seed He kissed his family goodbye and set
out on his quest To become a knight, He did not know what would happen next but
he was ready. He had his sword in hand, his backpack full of travel gear, and
the necklace around his neck which had belonged to his father. That day he
became a man, it wasn’t fun and games anymore, no more dummies, now it was the
real deal. It was his time to go out into the world and make something of
himself. It was his time to become a knight.

____
1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed
figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace – he is clearly
up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?
Answer:
I quickly assess the situation figuring out how long it would
take to get the guards or if I yelled that it might alert the “Dark-Clothed person”.
I figure out where the guards are located and decide to run over to them. I
alert them of the man who entered the palace and ask if I may be of assistance.
While the guards go one way I go the other and start looking for the
Dark-Clothed person. After a couple minutes in the palace I see the dark clothed
person. Now I am sure he I an assassin because he has dagger in hand and is
about to enter the Emperors chambers. I yell For the guards and draw my sword,
at that moment the assassin spins around and trys to attack me. I wound him but
not kill him so that the guards may deal with him. After he has been taken away
by the palace guards I leave and re embark on my quest.
2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you comeacross a
large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside itstands an
unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by twoheavily armed
bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed withleather armour
and an iron longsword, how do you react?
Answer:
I stare and asses the situation. I sneak up behind the bandits
and say. “Hello, how are you fine gentleman doing today”. The bandits turn
around and draw there swords. I say “Well I was just trying to have a
intelligent conversation but if that’s the way you want it, I will comply”. I
draw my sword. The young bandit swings at me screaming. I block with my sword
and hit him in the face with the bunt of my sword knocking him to the ground.
The second man takes a swing at me he’s stronger than I am but somehow I manage
to push his sword away with my own. Now the second man is back on his feet. I’m
not sure I can beat them with strength but maybe I can buy them off. I say “ OK
, ok you win there is no need for more violence take my money and we can
all go our separate ways. The bandits
smile at each other, the older one says “where is the minas”, I point to my back
and say “ in my bag”. One goes over to check it out and tells the other to take
my sword and watch me., I wait for him to turn his back, when he does I hit him
in the head with a rock I found on the ground, I lean down and pick up my
sword. All of a sudden the sword from the older bandit slices my arm from behind,
in pain I swing around . I turn to the old man cut the man’s leg, as he falls I
stand up. I say “Again, no more blood must be spilled , leave now and take you
friend and never return ”. The leave and the old man is safe. I turned to the
old man and ask if he is all right. He reply’s “I’m fine now that you’re here,
thank you young sir, I don’t know what I would have done without you, but I
must say I thought they had you there for a moment”. I ask him for a needle and
thread so I can sew up my wound. He replies “You’re in luck I was, the village
physician for a very long time” He sews up my wound and lets me stay the night,
in the morning I hit the road again.
3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you
notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall
and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he
is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to
allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling,
items of choice and the discussion that happens).
Answer:
I walk up to the stand, look around at the goods and I catch
my eye on a Iron longsword with a polished rock at the end of the handle. I check
my pocket …… I only have 100 minas and i need to eat tonight. Maybe I can strike
a deal. I say to the owner “ How much for the sword’. He replys “ which one?” I
point to the sword. The stall owner says “Ahh, I see you have caught your eye
on the sword of power” I reply “ The sword of power? Why is it called this” The
stall owner says “ I have no idea but the name helps it sell” I frown. ‘How much”
I ask again. “ 110 minas” he says, I reply “HA, 110 minas for a fake named
sword, how can you expect so much, based on your stalk and the time of day I
say you maybe have sold only 1 or 2 items today yet you still ask for 110
minas”. “ well, I guess maybe 100 minas” “Good day, I will try my luck somwhere
else” As I walk away he shouts “ Fine 81 minas but that’s my final offer” I
turn around with a grin on my face and walk back to the stall and say “ Well
that’s more reasonable, ill take it. I hand him the money and go on my way.

Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Pierre Flahough
Current Age: 28
Sub-race (if any): Northerner
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Pierre was born and raised in Ager by a rather poor family. He was never big into physical activities, and excelled in his mother, Thresa’s lessons about the world. He always dreamed of going on an adventure, but at the age of 12 he became rebellious. He was defiant to authority, and got himself into trouble. Days after his 15th birthday, his father Dunkin was arrested for killing a dwarf in a drunken rage, and he was never heard from again.
When his father was put away, Pierre left his home armed with nothing but a stone sword and a dream to explore. He traveled from city to city, meeting people and learning new things. He and his mother reunited years later, and Pierre became more of a local adventurer, talking to people in Ager and learning more about Asulon’s history.
But when the plague struck, Thresa died of the Plague. Pierre hid out in a small community of goblins, where he learned some blah. However, bandits attacked the village and Pierre ran off again. He traveled around the world, trying to stay as far away from life as possible. But one day, he saw boats being boarded by the shore. He could finally leave his past behind and start a new life in another land.
Ambitions for the Future:[/b] Pierre wants to become fluent in blah and discover the world’s many secrets.
Personality:[/b] Pierre prefers to talk his way out of situations instead of facing them head-on. He rarely uses his sword, but he always carries it around as a last resort. He is cocky and sometimes he doesn’t think his plans through well enough which leads to some sticky situations. He always wants to learn more about the world and the creatures that live there.
Skills:[/b] Pierre has vast knowledge of the land and its inhabitants. He can fluently speak common and can speak very little blah. He is a fast talker and has gotten out of many violent situations by reasoning with people. He is decent at best with a bow and is terrible at swordplay. He has spent enough time running from combat to know how to evade captors and sneak away from an enemy, something that has saved his life more than once.

Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.
[b]1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b]
Answer: The figure climbs up the side of a building and draws a blade. An assassin. I inhale and yell “ASSASSIN!” at the top of my lungs. Every guard in the square can hear me and they run towards my direction.
“Where?” One of them asks. I point at the rooftops where the assassin is trying to escape. The guards chase after him and I watch as they restrain the killer and drag him away.
[b]2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]
Answer: Not being one to solve problems with violence, I approach the bandits with my weapon sheathed. “What’s going on here?” I ask, stepping between the two parties.
“Stand aside or else you’re next.” One of the bandits orders, pointing his sword at my throat. I draw my bloodstained sword and hold it in a defensive position. “Trust me, you don’t want your blood to join theirs.” I bluff. In all honesty, that is my blood from when I accidently cut my shoulder while practicing.
The second bandit draws his sword and steps close to me. I point it at him as well. “I have taken on at least five better armed scumbags at once. You won’t fare any better than they did.” The bandits called my bluff.
“Then you can take us.” The second bandit taunted. They charged at me with weapons drawn. I clumsily blocked the first attack with the blunt side of the sword and the second bandit cut a strap off of my leather armor. I recoiled from the strike and dropped the sword. “Some tough guy, eh?” The second bandit asked his partner.
“Suuuure.” The first one quipped and charged me. I ducked under the strike and started to run away from the bandits as fast as possible. They chased after me, but I scampered up a tree and jumped onto another. I slid down the trunk of the second tree as they were inspecting the first and dashed off.
[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]
Answer: I walk up to the stall and browse his wares. An odd trinket catches my eye that is shaped like the Orcish god, Krug. “Where did you find this?” I ask.
“I uh, found it in a cave in the countryside. I can’t remember where, but it uh, was definitely a cave.” This guy was obviously a thief, trying to sell any objects he once had. I grinned and toss a single minas onto the stall.
“Here, I’m being generous.” The thief scoffs at my offer.
“I could never sell such a rare artifact at such a low price!” He demands, appalled by my offer.
“How about you sell it to me and I don’t alert the authorities?” I lean in close to him with an arrogant smirk on my face.
The thief’s eyes went wide. “Fine. Take it and leave!” He shouts at me. I pick up the trinket and walk away from him, but not before sarcastically thanking him for his business.

Meta-gaming: Meta gaming is talking out of character, or (OOC) chat, or having out of character knowledge.
Power-emoting: Power emoting is using emotes in an improper way, which in the end enforces the result on another character without their consent.

Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Alexandrith Bronzebeard
Current Age: 20
Sub-race (if any): None
Clan (if any): Bronzebeard
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):[/b] When I was but a wee-little lad, my father, Fenaldrith Bronzebeard taught me in the skill of mining. My family was not rich, but we were happy. My father worked for the wealth of Aegis, mining day and night to feed our family of three. By the time I was age 10, I was already an apprentice blacksmith to my father. I was taught all that I would need to know other than my profession from my mother. She taught me how to read, and how to speak. She was one of the people that helped my father when we were in bad times, and stayed with him throughout. I thought that everything was going swell in the Bronzebeard family, until the fateful day that I walked into the mine my father worked at. What I saw was a gruesome scene. All of the men in the mine were slaughtered, and I immediately worried about the life of my father. As I ran deeper and deeper into the mine, I saw him, with a wound in his stomach. As I collapsed in agony of the sight, I walked closer to him, and told him I loved him, and that he would be able to survive, but I was wrong. On his last dying breaths, he told me who did the deed... It was the orcs. From that day on I swore to avenge my father, and to right to wrong. After then, I took over responsibilities as the man of the family. It was only when I turned 12 when I had to start mining. I've learned to keep my chin up, and think my mug is always half full. When I turned age 16, my mother died when the orcs invaded my village. I remember those moments vividly, running out of the mine looking at all the destruction. It 'twas only days later when I started to adventure into Aegis. Leaving the mountains was tough, but I learned to deal with tragedy, so this was nothing in comparison. After adventuring around Aegis for 4 years, I finally decided that I would start to try to piece my life together, so I decided to work as a mercenary for hire. Ever since I chose my job I have not run out of ale, and my cottage is suitable. I live a nice life.
Ambitions for the Future: All I have ever wanted to do is to be able to own a mine, and to sell my goods to to wealth of Aegis.
Personality: I am a Dwarf of a strong willed nature, and I love to be generous and to help those in need, but if I have to use force, I will.
Skills: My father has trained me well in the traits of blacksmithing and mining. I have also learned how to wield an axe quite well.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): I have a semi-pale skin from being inside the mine so much, but I am strong and powerful from my mercenary work. I have a brown-reddish beard.

[b]1. Whilst mining deep in the undergrounds of Kalos you see a large deposit of diamond ore at the other side of the ravine you are on. There is a very thin rock bridge that looks precariously unstable, but it is the only way to access the deposit. What do you do?[/b]
Answer: As I look at the diamond protruding from the wall, I think to myself, "Is the diamond really worth it?". After a swig of ale, it was, so I precariously crossed the bridge with iron footing. As I reach the diamond, I realize, "If I mine the diamond, won't the shock cave the bridge in?". After the ale kicks in, I don't think about that anymore. I mine away at the diamond, and when I go to return, the bridge had collapsed. When I am finished with my last drop of ale, I try and think of a solution, but, it doesn't work too well, and I fall into a deep slumber. After falling asleep, I don't remember much. All I know is that I awoke back in my bed, thinking "Aye, that lager really is strong.".
[b]2. You are sitting in the local tavern with a large pint of ale in your hand - sitting nearby you is a rather young dwarf whom is clearly going through a bad time. He is crying to himself, and clutching a small wooden hammer toy. In the other corner of the room two shady dwarves are sitting whispering to each other and pointing occasionally at the dwarf. They stand up, one with a small dagger in his hand and begin to approach the young dwarf. What do you do?[/b]
Answer: Looking at the young boy and the dagger both, I realize what the shady dwarves might do. I stand up and shout "You want to hurt a wee lad? What kind of dwarf are ye!", and then I charge toward them, mugs 'o ale raised high. As I smash the mugs over their heads, I feel a tingling sensation in my stomach. As I look down, I see the dagger planted in me. I rip the dagger out, and throw it to the floor, and I shortly pass out. Later, I awoke on the bed upstairs in the tavern. As I looked up, I saw the little lad, smiling at me. At that, I grinned, and realized that I saved his life.
[b]3. Whilst wandering through the Dwarven Caverns you hear a voice call out to you; “Oi, ye’! C’mere n’ get ye’rself an ale!”. You spin on your heel and see a heavily bearded bar-owner looking at you - a huge grin on his face, and a mug of ale in his hand. How do you react?[/b]
Answer: Seeing the ale in the bar-owners hand, I rush towards him, shouting "Why not!". After walking with him back to his bar, we talk about the way things are going in our town. I just kept chugging the ale, and speaking 'bout the town. Eventually, I got so drunk that I passed out. I awoke only to see that my coin and sword have vanished. Walking over the bar owner to ask him what happened, I realize he has my sword! As I stumble over to him, as hungover as a sober dwarf, I ask "Why did 'ya take my sword!?". He replies with "Aye, you gambled your sword and coin away last night.". As I proceed with the walk of shame out of the tavern, I realize, that shoes vanished. Looking around the bar, I see orphans selling a homeless dwarf my shoes. I think "Aye, I got 2 more pairs.", and I leave the tavern.

Full Name: Kili Kuldak
Current Age: 18
Sub-race (if any): Northerner
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): I was born into a small rich family. Me, along with my sister, mother, and father lived in Ager. My family had made their wealth through the wheat fields surrounding the city; My father, Alek Kuldak was a land lord and owned many fields himself. Ever since I was young, I was driven by exploration. When I was 8 years old I spent most of my time exploring every crack and crevice of Ager. My father was very paranoid of the dangers that I might run into on my adventures when I get older, so at age 10 he hired a personal trainer to teach me how to use a bow and sword.
When I was 16, my hunger for exploration caused me to sneak out of my home one night and travel north to Arethor. I took only a iron sword, some leather boots, food, and 350 minas. In Arethor I searched for a place to stay for a few nights. I came upon a house with a man standing outside. When I asked the man if he could give me a place to live for a few nights he told me that he had an extra room that I could stay in for a little. He told me his name was Reddik Swive. He showed me in the house and he showed me my room. I put my stuff down and laid down to rest in the bed. The man woke me and told me it was supper time. At the supper table he told me his story of how his wife died and that he's a miner. I was intrigued by the fact that he was a miner. I had never mined in my life because my mother found it to be too dirty. I spent the next 6 months in Arethor exploring the city and learning the art of mining from Reddik. He told me of this place he always wanted to visit, Karik, the Dwarven capital. He told me how the Dwarves are the best of miners, and how he wanted to see the stone work in their city. He told me that if I ever get the chance to go to Karik then I have to come back to Arethor and tell him about it.
After he had taught me the art of mining decided that it was time for me to head back to Ager because my parents must be mortified that I've been gone so long. When arrived in Ager everyone seemed to be in a panic. There was talk of a poisonous fog in the city. When i reached my parents house they greeted me with a big hug and brought me inside. They told me of how my sister Mina had ran away with a group of traveling merchants. they also informed me of what the poisonous fog was and what it had been doing to the wheat fields. The fog has been killing all the workers out in the wheat fields, and my family has been losing a lot of money. By the time I was 17 the fog had spread far into the city. Me and my father were heading towards the market when a man came up to us. "Alek, something terrible has happened." he told us. "Your wife has died. There was a sudden giant gust of wind and it brought the fog right into the market... Your wife was caught right in the middle of it." Me and my father rushed to the market. I stopped when we reached the entrance of the market because it was full of thick fog, but my father went bounding in. I waited until i saw my father come out, but that never came. When the fog cleared I saw my father and my mother lying next to each other: Dead. I went back to my house. Picked up some of my belongings and some extra money, and set out to restart my life in another city.
Ambitions for the Future:[/b] Travel all around Asulon learning new skills, Find my sister Mina, travel to Karik
Personality:[/b]Intelligent, Kind, Strong, Hard-Working

____
[b]1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards theEmperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b]
Answer: I look across the square and see a shady figure climbing up the wall of a building. He gets to the top and draws his knife. "Assassin!" I yell, hoping the guards will hear.
The nearest guards come running over to me and ask, "Where!?". I point to the man on top of the building. The guards go running off shouting at the man to come down. The shady man makes no effort to listen to them at all, he's too focused on his mission. All of a sudden one of the guards shoots an arrow and knocks him clear off the roof. He lands and scrambles to get away. He started running towards the exit near me. I run over and "Slam!" tackle the man and pin him to the ground. I waited there until the guards came over and escorted the man to jail.
[b]2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage.Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]
Answer: I'm on my way to Arethor to visit my old friend. While walking i notice a small cottage. Outside the cottage are two rough looking bandits. They're surrounding and old man. "Where's the money?" The one bandit asks the old man. The man just stands there, too terrified to do anything. I look around and find a good sized rock to throw.
:I yell, "Looking for money? Why don't you try me?" and throw the rock and hit the first bandit in the head. Not like being teased or hit with a rock the bandits turn and draw their swords. They start to charge at me and I turn and run for my life. I get deep into the woods and can hear them still running behind me. I quickly scamper up a tree and wait. I throw rocks deeper into the woods to sound like i'm still running in the same direction. Once they run by, I get down from the tree and continue on my adventure.
[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall.You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do?(Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]
Answer: "Would you like to see some fine wears my good sir?" the man behind the colorful stand asks. "Everything is for sale, and there are no set prices." I walk up to the stand and look at the mans wears. A shiny iron pickaxe with an engraved staff catches my eye. The staff is engraved with what looks like Ancient Dwarven symbols.
"Where did you get this?" I ask the merchant.
"I found it. Yeah, that's what I did. I found it." The merchant answers shadily. It's clearly an item that he stole from somebody.
"Where?" I ask, wondering what his fake answer would be.
"I don't exactly remember. Are you interested in buying this pickaxe?" He asks me.
"Yes I would love to buy this pickaxe from you." I say. I pick up the pickaxe and put down 5 minas on the stall and turn to walk away.
"That's not enough! That item is easily worth 50 times that much!" the merchant exclaims.
"Yes it is not. But this way i don't have to tell the authorities about it. That shut the merchant up. I walked away with a smirk on my face.

[b]How old are you?[/b]: 17
[b]Time-Zone[/b]: Central
[b]Have you read, understood and agreed to the rules?:[/b] Yes
[b]What previous experience have you had in role-playing?[/b]: I've played on a partial role-play server (Massivecraft) for almost a year as well as a full role-play server (Atherys Ascended) for close to half a year.
[b]How did you hear about the Lord of the Craft?[/b]: A friend on another server mentioned they had never experienced RP as in depth as they had on Lord of the Craft, and true RP is something I've found quite hard to find, so I was very interested to discover more. Upon reading through your website, it became very evident that I wouldn't find any holes in the lore as I usually do with other RP servers. The professionalism would appear to be unmatched by any server I've come across before.
[b]Link any applications that you have previously made for the server:[/b] NA
[b]Have you posted this application on the Minecraft Forum? If not, then please do so (link above):[/b] Yes

[b]Definitions[/b]
In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:
[b]Role-playing:[/b] Becoming your own unique character through all aspects of the world your character lives in.
[b]Meta-gaming:[/b] To be honest, I've never heard of this term before, but since my last application was denied I looked up a very helpful post on the LOTC forums on meta gaming and read it through completely, so now I would define Meta-gaming as using OOC information to influence your behavior or actions IC.
[b]Power-emoting:[/b] An example would be if I were RP'ing with someone and I said *eman1000 (or other character name) uses dark magic to disappear before bob3000 can attack*. It would be me making some statement that doesn't allow the other player a say, which pretty much just kills the mood and purpose of RP. To put it simply, it turns a majestic battle between two kings into something more like two little boys playing rock paper scissors, but making up new moves like "bomb" or "gun" in an endless cycle of immaturity.

[b]Full Name:[/b] Sarius Horus Erebus
[b]Current Age:[/b] 24
[b]Sub-race (if any):[/b] Northern Human
[b]Past / History[/b] (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): (from my perspective; I'll combine both paragraphs into one). I lived in a small, quaint village, raised by a loving father and mother along the Northern stretches of Oren. I was able to enjoy a hard, yet peaceful and rewarding lifestyle for some time at least. My father wasn't a warrior like most of the other boys' fathers in the village; he was a farmer instead, reaping what he could from the soil. The whole town relied on him for his grain and carrots, but the town's favorite was his famous baked potatoes he served piping hot from his stand every Saturday night. The warm aroma tempted even the most antisocial away from their work to join in celebration of a week's labor complete. However, it was one of these very Saturday nights that everything took a turn for the worse. Undead seemed to materialize all around the central plaza. All I could do was curl up into a ball as screams erupted all around me. One of the undead clubbed me on the head with the butt of his sword, and everything turned to blackness. I woke up days later in the town's makeshift hospital. I expected to see many more around me, but it was empty, with the exception of a woman with a bandaged arm, and rows of bloodstained cots. An unfamiliar man sat down at the foot of my bed. "You're lucky to be alive" I remember him saying. He had very sharp features; dark brown hair, similar to my own, and eyes so brown they were almost black. "Where are my parents?" I asked, but my hope was all but diminished. "Your parents died a valiant death. You'll be staying with me. I know I'm not your mom or dad, but I'll try my best." That man, Thantos, raised me and taught me in the way of the sword, however I was very inexperienced. With every strike at a straw dummy, I imagined striking down another undead, and another, and another. I wished to avenge my parent's deaths, but I was in no condition to be seeking revenge; I was far too inexperienced. For now, I must train further, and wait for an oppurtunity to serve.
[b]Ambitions for the Future[/b]:[/b] Strengthening sword skills, finding a job to make a few minos, possibly joining a local army or police force after being a citizen for a considerable amount of time.
[b]Personality:[/b][/b] Hardworking, driven, ambitious, but too ambitious at times. Very curious.

[b]Open-Response-Questions[/b]
Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.
____
[b]1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b]
Answer: I hold my tongue; reputation is important to me, and I do not wish to make a fool of myself amongst people who may one day be my allies. However, curiosity compels me to follow the figure closer. Should he stray from going directly towards the palace, I'll refrain from following him, but rather watch from a distance until he's out of sight. Should he continue to make way towards the palace with a deliberate pace, I will quickly make my way to the nearest guard, tell him privately the situation, and let him handle it, rather then make myself out to be a boy who cried wolf in such a public area.
[b]2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather amour and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]
Answer: I think back to how vulnerable I felt during the attack on my village; the anger surges through me. However, first I make myself known to the bandits and shout confidently "Leave this man alone; he has done you no harm." I will then proceed to bluff and tell the bandits that there are 4 others coming along. Should they choose to retreat, I will come to the old man and accept his thanks, and perhaps sit down for a cup of tea, should he offer me one. Should the bandits begin advancing, I will rely on my instinct to fight them. I won't get too detailed on how exactly I would go about fighting them, but I would first tell the old man to run and get help.
[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]
Answer: I would approach the man first by saying "You claim to sell just about everything, is this true?". He would agree, probably with some boastfulness as well. "I am in need of an iron sword, best quality you have available." The man would then produce a fine iron sword, from a chest behind him, fitting my description perfectly. I offer 75 Minas, but he must insist upon 120 Minas. I know he can go lower, but appealing to a merchant's compassion never works, so instead I tell him "I'm in town for another week, and I'm sure I can get an iron sword for cheaper, wouldn't you agree? However, you're a nice man, so I'll offer you 90 Minas. The merchant would most likely agree, be it reluctantly.

In-Character
Information:
Full Name: Durrak Uskrad.
Current Age: 84
Sub-race (if any): Cave Dwarf.
Clan (if any): None.
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):[/b]
As a child Durrak was always busy making little wooden swords made from sticks he found lying around to play with it and act like a warrior. While his dad played the bad villain he would play the hero and defeat the him. This was what Durrak did most of the time, if his dad was home ofcourse, but if he was alone he would usually play with his brother Fargrim and played a made-up story every time they would play together. While they were doing this, their mom just watched and laughed at the things the little
Dwarfs did and at the great imagination they had, and after a while she would
say: ‘’Come inside boys, I baked some cake and have a nice drink for you both.’’.
And the boys would drop their wooden swords on the ground and run inside to
enjoy the fresh baked caked their mother made for them. When Durrak was older
he started working at a blacksmith in his hometown and learned a little bit
about minerals and ores. When he was old enough, he and his brother went on a
adventure to live a new life in Anthos.
Durrak and his brother came with the boat to
Anthos. When he arrived he found an pamphlet that said something about a
Dwarven clan. After that he joined a Dwarven clan where he got lots of training
in the art of combat. He got very skilled after years of hard training and
learned a lot about the use of lances. He trained hard every day and learned to
master the lance with training every day from sunrise to sunset. He read books
and practiced with the lance with the help of his training partner and his
leader who learned him a lot about the lance and its history. Because the
leader’s favorite weapon of choice was the lance as well. The leader always
told him: ‘’One day you will be the best soldier we have ever trained.’’ and
this gave Durrak lots of hope and that’s what kept him going. After years of
hard training, reading and lots of cuts and bruises from the fighting, of which
he still got a scar on the left side of his chest, he finally learned how to
master the lance. He was a great soldier in the dwarven clan that knew how to
use the lance instead of his companions who used battle axes. Over the years he
got in higher ranks because he was so skilled and even learned his friends some
of his best tricks. He started as an unskilled dwarf with almost no knowledge
about the art of combat and grew to a great soldier in the Dwarven clan he had
joined. Later on he found out that the general was planning to use the clan to
go on a suicide mission. With around 500 men they wanted to try and take over
the home of the humans: The holy Oren Empire. He warned his friends about this
plan and they got away safely at night without anyone noticing them. So he
needed to go somewhere else and went on an adventure to search his brother to
join the caravan his brother was in. But finding his brother wasn’t easy
because he travelled around the world with his caravan. After Durrak and his
friends split up because they went home, he needed a place to stay for a while
and to write a letter to his brother Fargrim. So he found a little inn where he
could stay and started writing the letter which said:
’’ Dear Fargrim,
Not too long ago I found out
the army I join had evil plans on taking over The Holy Oren Empire so I left
and got a nice place to stay for awhile. But what I wanted to ask is if I
could join the caravan you’re in, and be the guard of the caravan. I would like
to hear much about your adventures and would love it to meet you soon my
brother. I hope I will hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Durrak.’’
And he posted it. After a
while he received a letter from his brother which said:
‘’ Dear Durrak,
My dear brother, I haven’t
spoken to you in years! I would love you to join our caravan and be the guard
of it, we need one of them. I have travelled much and would love to meet you
soon. So if you travel to the city of Salvus we can meet up there. And then you
could join our caravan as our guard. I will tell you everything of my
adventures when we meet up. I will see you soon my brother.
Regards,
Fargrim’’
So Durrak went to the city of Salvus
where he met his brother’s after many years and met the friends of his brother.
As his brother said he could join the caravan and be the guard of it. And then
he went on an adventure with his brother and his new made friends.
Ambitions for the Future: Durrak would like to join the caravan where his brother is in. He would be the guard of it and helps the caravan get safely around the world and defend the caravan and its members with his life. Help the caravan get big and popular amongst the people. And improving his skills in how to use the lance and learning how to use the crossbow.
Personality: Durrak is a Dwarf who is nice to all people that are nice to him, but if
they are not, he will be an intimidating Dwarf that you need to look out for.
Durrak protects the innocent and the weaker people and is loyal to all of his
best friends. But he is inpatient, sometimes stubborn and he doesn’t trust many
people.
Skills: He knows a bit about ores and minerals because he worked in an blacksmith. And he knows how to use the lance pretty good, but he might need some improvement here and there.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Durrak has dark orange hair and has the same brown eyes as his brother.
Any other details you wish to share about your character: None.
Open-Response-Questions
1. Whilst mining deep in the undergrounds
of Kalos you see a large deposit of
diamond ore at the other side of the ravine you are on. There is a very thin rock bridge that looks precariously unstable, but it is the only way to
access the deposit. What do you do?
Answer: Durrak throws
some stones at the bridge and poke it with a pickaxe to see if it holds. The
bridge holds. Durrak safely places a foot on the bridge. A bit crumbles off in
the middle of the bridge. Durrak takes away his foot and doesn’t bother getting
the diamonds anymore because he doesn’t want to risk his life.
2. You are sitting in the local tavern with a large pint of
ale in your hand - sitting nearby you is a rather young dwarf whom is clearly going
through a bad time. He is crying to himself, and clutching a small
wooden hammer toy. In the other corner of the room two shady dwarves are
sitting whispering to each other and pointing
occasionally at the Dwarf. They stand up, one with a small dagger in his hand and begin to approach the young dwarf. What do you do?
Answer: As the two
Dwarves approach, Durrak places his hand on the lance that's leaning on the
table. "What 'yer gettin' in yer 'ead ther', ma'e?", he says to one
of the Dwarves. The child looks hopefully at Durrak as he stands next to him. "Git
out of me way, ye fool. It ain't ye business!'', one of the Dwarves says. Durrak
takes his lance and holds it right before the Dwarves's faces, the blade
glittering in the light. ''Move 'long now, lil' one. 'Urry.'', hey says to the
child and he hurries away. As one of the Dwarves tries to move forward, Durrak
places the grip of his lance before him, looking him in the eyes ''Yer' not gittin'
trough 'ere, ye bugga!’’ The Dwarves nod to each other, knowing it will be a
lost fight, and move on with their business.
3. Whilst wandering through the Dwarven Caverns you hear a voice call out to you; “Oi, ye’! C’mere n’ get yerself an ale!”. You spin on your heel and see a heavily bearded bar-owner looking at you - a huge grin on
his face, and a mug of ale in his hand. How do you react?
Answer: Durrak looks
at the dwarf with a confused look. ’’ What’s in tha’ ale of yers.’’. The barman
became a bit nervous. ‘’Uhh… erm just a goo’ ol’ale brewed by me father.’’.
Durrak came closer to take a look at it and sniffed the ale. ‘’ I don’ trus’
this ale of yers’’, the barman stutters,‘’ Bu’ bu’ its realle’ goo’. Why don’
ye trust me?’’. Durrak looks at him, ‘’ Because I ‘ave more imporan’ things to
do than listen to a bragger like ye’’. The barman opens his mouth wide. ‘’ Goo’
day sir’’, Durrak says while he turns around and walks away.

Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Yuki Shironome
Current Age: 93
Sub-race (if any): None, just a ordinary Elf.
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
Yuki was born at the city of Salvus, but when she was born, she....was disabled. She was born with autism. All of the other children would make fun of her, because she was a elf, and could barely understand their games, and the way they generally spoke to her. Her parents tried to be supportive of her condition, but it was terribly difficult, as almost daily she came home with at least one black eye. At age 12, she finally mastered speech, but she still was insulted by the other children.
Eventually, Yuki and her family had decided to move to Malinor, because of Yuki taking in constant bullying... but when Yuki and her family were moving, she got mixed up with another group, and lost her parents in the process. The family who found her felt sorry for her, and took her to find her parents. Unsuccessful, they decided to take her to live with them in Normandor in Malinor.
However, it was not this way for all time. 20 years had passed living with her new family, happy, but often missing her real parents. Eventually she decided it was time to go back to Asulon to find her real parents.
Once in Asulon she found that she had arrived in the nick of time to not be left behind by the boats leaving for the new lands. Lost in the fray, she was temporarily distracted from her goal of finding her parents. On the elven ship, she searched up and down in order to find her long lost mother and father, only to find that they weren’t there. After realizing the truth, she looked for her foster parents, to find that they were not there either. And that was it. She couldn’t do any more, as she realized. She couldn’t keep looking, there wasn’t anything left. She was alone, and she knew it.
Every night on the boat, she wept for her lost parents and foster parents. During the day, she sat alone, and did not speak to anyone. Only on one day, did she meet someone, or rather, they met her. Aisos Oneiri, greeting with a smile and an outstretched hand. Aisos was an odd fellow, even stranger so than Yuki herself. Yuki normally wore a green dress in her days on the ship, as it matched her emerald eyes. Aisos’s attire was much different, wearing an informal leather jacket and blue undershirt. Aisos had brilliant green hair, and eyes to match. But his most strange attribute was his skin, which was a pale green. Once in Elysium, Aisos and Yuki split for some time, and Yuki lived on her own for the time in Elysium, only moving to go to the Elven division of Kalos.
Once it was announced that the ships were leaving to Anthos, she quickly packed up, as life in Elysium was terribly boring and uneventful for her, and she soon learned it was the same for Aisos. They travelled to Anthos, and parted again, but only temporarily. Preparing to leave and staying with the monks for only a few weeks, she soon left to Salvus, where she knew she would find Aisos...
After that, Yuki’s life story has been up to date, and no further reactions have occurred.
Ambitions for the Future: To feel like a normal person, and have a simple, peaceful life.
Personality: Shy, sensitive, and mostly calm...Mostly. When provoked her temper can flare quite quickly, but if the perpetrator is proven to have meant no harm, she is quite forgiving.
Skills: Despite her disability, she actually can move quickly.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): http://i.imgur.com/UNV5mCW.png ((Just imagine it..a ‘bit more covered up near the abdomen area.))
Any other details you wish to share about your character: She has very long hair.

1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react?
Answer:
Yuki was wandering through the forests, as she saw a group of High Elves insulting the little Wood Elf. She promptly walked up to the group of High Elves and exclaimed, “E-Exuse me?...What are you doing to that helpless Wood Elf?!” The group of High Elves took a few steps back, only for one of them to say “Why do you care? Keep moving, woman.” Yuki, angrily started yelling at the group of High Elves about how they should respect others. After arguing with the group, Yuki went back on her way to her destination.
2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?
Answer:
Yuki, whilst looking for a nearby inn, noticed a old man walking by with a stick, when he collapses right in front of her. Yuki notices the pouch of coins that fell out of the old man’s pocket, but ignores it; and rushed to the man and said, “Oh my goodness...Are you ok?!” Yuki tries to help the man get back up, handing him his walking stick and his pouch of gold coins. The old man thanked her, and continued going to where ever he was going.
3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).
Answer:
Travelling along, Yuki notices the colored carriage with the traders standing outside of it. The traders call Yuki over to talk about their wares. Yuki walks over to the man, unsure of what he wants as she asks him, “W-What do you need?..”. The man then tells her of all the things his carriage sells and that he is willing to haggle for prices. The man tells her, “We have a fine bow here,” The man points to it. “Would you like it? Its only for 73 minas. Fine craftsmanship as well, it was made in the capital!” another merchant pitches in, “By monks!” Yuki looks at him in astonishment and says “I don’t think I have that many minas...” Yuki looks at her pouch and looks to see if she has that much coins, “I only have 52...Maybe we could lower the price?”. The man looks at her with a semi-aggravated look and says “52?! I’m sorry...but thats..pretty low.” Yuki glances at the man and says “Please...I need something to defend myself.” The merchant sighs and says “Alright...52 it is.” Yuki hands over the money, and receives the bow. Unfortunately it did not come with arrows...

while he received a letter from his brother which said:
‘’ Dear Durrak,
My dear brother, I haven’t
spoken to you in years! I would love you to join our caravan and be the guard
of it, we need one of them. I have travelled much and would love to meet you
soon. So if you travel to the city of Salvus we can meet up there. And then you
could join our caravan as our guard. I will tell you everything of my
adventures when we meet up. I will see you soon my brother.
Regards,
Fargrim’’
So Durrak went to the city of Salvus
where he met his brother’s after many years and met the friends of his brother.
As his brother said he could join the caravan and be the guard of it. And then
he went on an adventure with his brother and his new made friends.
Ambitions for the Future: Durrak would like to join the caravan where his brother is in. He would be the guard of it and helps the caravan get safely around the world and defend the caravan and its members with his life. Help the caravan get big and popular amongst the people. And improving his skills in how to use the lance and learning how to use the crossbow.
Personality: Durrak is a Dwarf who is nice to all people that are nice to him, but if
they are not, he will be an intimidating Dwarf that you need to look out for.
Durrak protects the innocent and the weaker people and is loyal to all of his
best friends. But he is inpatient, sometimes stubborn and he doesn’t trust many
people.
Skills: He knows a bit about ores and minerals because he worked in an blacksmith. And he knows how to use the lance pretty good, but he might need some improvement here and there.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Durrak has dark orange hair and has the same brown eyes as his brother.
Any other details you wish to share about your character: None.
Open-Response-Questions
1. Whilst mining deep in the undergrounds
of Kalos you see a large deposit of
diamond ore at the other side of the ravine you are on. There is a very thin rock bridge that looks precariously unstable, but it is the only way to
access the deposit. What do you do?
Answer: Durrak throws
some stones at the bridge and poke it with a pickaxe to see if it holds. The
bridge holds. Durrak safely places a foot on the bridge. A bit crumbles off in
the middle of the bridge. Durrak takes away his foot and doesn’t bother getting
the diamonds anymore because he doesn’t want to risk his life.
2. You are sitting in the local tavern with a large pint of
ale in your hand - sitting nearby you is a rather young dwarf whom is clearly going
through a bad time. He is crying to himself, and clutching a small
wooden hammer toy. In the other corner of the room two shady dwarves are
sitting whispering to each other and pointing
occasionally at the Dwarf. They stand up, one with a small dagger in his hand and begin to approach the young dwarf. What do you do?
Answer: As the two
Dwarves approach, Durrak places his hand on the lance that's leaning on the
table. "What 'yer gettin' in yer 'ead ther', ma'e?", he says to one
of the Dwarves. The child looks hopefully at Durrak as he stands next to him. "Git
out of me way, ye fool. It ain't ye business!'', one of the Dwarves says. Durrak
takes his lance and holds it right before the Dwarves's faces, the blade
glittering in the light. ''Move 'long now, lil' one. 'Urry.'', hey says to the
child and he hurries away. As one of the Dwarves tries to move forward, Durrak
places the grip of his lance before him, looking him in the eyes ''Yer' not gittin'
trough 'ere, ye bugga!’’ The Dwarves nod to each other, knowing it will be a
lost fight, and move on with their business.
3. Whilst wandering through the Dwarven Caverns you hear a voice call out to you; “Oi, ye’! C’mere n’ get yerself an ale!”. You spin on your heel and see a heavily bearded bar-owner looking at you - a huge grin on
his face, and a mug of ale in his hand. How do you react?
Answer: Durrak looks
at the dwarf with a confused look. ’’ What’s in tha’ ale of yers.’’. The barman
became a bit nervous. ‘’Uhh… erm just a goo’ ol’ale brewed by me father.’’.
Durrak came closer to take a look at it and sniffed the ale. ‘’ I don’ trus’
this ale of yers’’, the barman stutters,‘’ Bu’ bu’ its realle’ goo’. Why don’
ye trust me?’’. Durrak looks at him, ‘’ Because I ‘ave more imporan’ things to
do than listen to a bragger like ye’’. The barman opens his mouth wide. ‘’ Goo’
day sir’’, Durrak says while he turns around and walks away.

I picked the story with the wood elf. Has Ahern was walking in the woods he heard weeping and moaning and saw that a wood elf was being bullied by some high elfs. has Ahern shakes with rage he stands by and does nothing. Ahern doesn't want anyone to be hurt. But he knows he is to weak to go up against 3 older elves that are stronger taller and more smart than himself. He tries to speak up but his voice cracks and the older elves laugh at him and give him the scar on his right arm he still has to this day
