Full Name: Eladriendil R'dar Thedaios
Current Age: Eladriendil is currently twenty-one years old.
Sub-race (if any): Eladriendil is not part of any Sub-race
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): As a child, Eladriendil grew up on the streets of Ager,as a boy he loved helping his father out at the wheat fields, tasting his mother's bread. Although as he grew older he hated living in the village and found sanctuary climbing trees and braving partway up the surrounding mountains. When the time had come that he was able to move away, he left the first chance he had gotten. The wilderness was hard on young Eladriendil, but he managed. It was a cold foggy day when something he would have never expected occurred, a small band of orcs, or what he grew up calling "green monsters" were raiding a small caravan when they saw him walking along the roads. The chief of these Orc bandits had ordered to rob him as well. Feeling unwilling to be robbed, he took off into the forests alongside the path and had barely managed to climb up onto a tree. Unfortunately for him, one of the bandits had heard Eladriendil's small iron dagger clink in his pack, had looked up to find the young man residing in one of the oak trees. The orc pulled out his bow and removed an arrow from the quiver that lay on his back, started to pull back on the string. Eladriendil, unable to get down because of the growing numbers of orcs at the tree's base, accepted his fate. So, the orc let go of the string and sent the arrow soaring right into his eye socket, knocking him off of the tree and unconscious, onto the ground. Eladriendil awoke the next day covered in blood, with all of his personal items and gold gone.
Ambitions for the Future:[/b] Eladriendil hopes to become a well-known archer and perhaps even a guard for the emperor.
Personality:[/b] Eladriendil is a rather quiet man, who tries to keep mostly to himself. He enjoys the peace and serenity of walking along an old dirt path through the forest. Skills:[/b] Eladriendil has slightly over-average skills in stealth, using a bow and arrow. Appearance(this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):[/b]http://imgur.com/parHXub,PbnS6Nu Eladriendil wears a blue bandanna which covers his mouth and mostly green clothing to blend in with his surroundings. He has one scarred eye and a ponytail tied off with a gold band. Any other details you wish to share about your character:[/b] Eladriendil is a very fond lover of Elvish women.
[b]Open-Response-Questions[/b] [i]Each question inthis section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the eventin full.Please be as descriptive as possible anddonotbreak character or lore at any point.[/i] ____
[b]1.Whilstin 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: After a mildly-long glance at the strange figure, I take it upon myself to alert the guards of this. Knowing that if this character is not of bad nature, dire consequence would come from taking lethal actions toward them. I begin a rather fast walk to one of the guard and very lowly tell him, "That figure over there seems a bit shady, you should probably check it out", pointing my index finger to the strange black clothed person. The guard looks over to the figure, eyeing him suspiciously. After a quick second he signals another guard to help him deal with this possible threat.
[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: While walking along a path in a deep oak forest, I come across a large clearing and a small cobbled cottage. Upon further inspection I see an old man holding only a small iron blade, around him stands two heavily armed bandits who appear to be threatening the poor soul. Noticing how ill equipped I am compared to the bandits, I approach them slowly and peacefully, sheathing my longsword. Upon coming to the cabin I try to suggest a better solution to stop the threatening, "Excuse me, what seems to be the problem here" I ask them kindly. "None of yer buisness, move along" snarls the bandit to the right. "Now surely you have other things to do than to threaten a poor old defenseless man?" I ask him defensively. The bandit grunts, then sighs "Tell you what, if ye fork over two 'undred gold pieces, we'll leave this poor chum alone." He says this while reaching out his hand in my direction. I think to myself, two hundred gold pieces! Just for them to move along, Just before I say no my eyes dart over to the old man, barely even capable of holding the small iron knife that rests in his hands, the fear in his eyes, for he knows that it will all end here. Driven by guilt I pull out my gold pouch, shaking out all of the coins inside. I count two hundred worth and hand them over to the bandit, he smiles deviously, "Pleasure doin' buisness with 'cha!" he says as he walks away. With them out of the way, I walk over to the old man and say in a comforting tone, "You okay sir?". He looks up to me and grins from ear-to-ear,"Oh yes! Oh yes! Thank you oh kind sir! I thought for sure I would've died right there!". Although my coin purse is lighter, it's worth it to know that I saved that poor man's life today.
[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 noset prices.Heis willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices.Whatdo you do?(Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]
Answer: While walking through the town I notice a rather small man trying to sell various items at his colourful looking stall. I approach the stall and almost instantly my eyes dart to a recurved bow near the back of his stall, quite interested in the item I ask, "How much for the bow my good man?". Happily he replies, "Only one hundred fifty gold, and I have a special offer in which you can get this finely made quiver and tenarrows for an extra sixty gold!" Dissapointed I ask him, "Two hundred and ten gold? Just for all of that?" A bit agitated the man replies, "Alright. Alright. How about fifteen more arrows along with that?" I smile slightly, "You've got yourself a deal!" The man jumps up and down with joy for half a minute then makes his way to the back and retrieves the items. As he is doing so, I pull out two hundred and ten gold from my coin pouch, just as I am done doing so, the man returns. "Here ye are! Two 'undred and ten gold please." I reach out my hand and drop the gold coins onto the counter of his stall, he passes over the items in which I sling onto my back. "Have a good day!" the man says as I leave his stall.

Full Name: Togolit Took
Current Age: 1346
Sub-race (if any): Halfling
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):Togolit was born on a beautiful spring's morning, and as his older brother Reckan, his mother Gladia, his father Tockulus and his aunt Nonaleya gathered around him in his little crib, they knew everything was going to be all right.
Everything was in fact all right for the next few fifty or sixty years, then on a cold winter's night, a bolt of lightning sorrow struck!
The whole day, Togolit had been curled up in his little bed in his little room in his little hole, then there was a sudden knocking on the main door which grew louder and faster by the second. By the time Togolit had run halfway down the hall his brother was yelling his name. He had just opened the door when a whole group of halflings ran in, across the hallway and into the study. "What's going on?!" asked Togolit as he ran towards the study after quickly shutting the main door.
"By old Kip Took, there's no time Toggy!" yelled Reckan and slammed the study door shut.
Togolit stared at the door. Then he turned around and looked down the hallway, then back at the door feeling helpless. He sat on the bench by the study door and curled up into a little ball. There he lay the whole night, eyes wide open as he did not even dare to think what that blur of people was about. At some random times there were clattering noises, or a low short thud, but that was it.
Just as the sun was rising, the door creaked open and doctors and a few locals walked out of the room and out of the hole/house. Togolit didin't bother to close the door after them, he was about to enter the study when Reckan stepped out. "....It's just us Toggy...now and forever." He said with a look of pain and sorrow. They stepped out of the house and watched the sun rise in silence, making the land look absolutely beautiful. "Yeah," said Togolit putting his hands in his pockets, "But we can do it."
Reckan put his hands in his pocket as well and gave a quiet nod to himself, "Why not?"
The two brothers spent the next few months building a hole, and what a beautiful hole it was. Every single inch of wood was polished for at least an hour, because they would continuously chat while doing it. They would be building the house and things in it from morning to afternoon, and it was serious bonding time. It was a fine spring morning, similar to the one on which Togolit was born, that they took a step back and looked at the finished, humble home. They agreed that the first to be married would move into it. "It's the best thing I've ever built," said Reckan.
Already starting to run, Togolit laughed and said, "It's the only thing you've ever built!"
"Come here you! By Gimbolo I'll tickle you to death!" said Reckan chasing him, which was the start to a wonderful day.
About a century or two later, just like that, Reckan was married to one of the most beautiful and brightest halflings ever, and into the hole they moved. Almost immediatly, since he had so much free time now that he lived alone, Togolit started building a new hole, and he thought this was even better than the other one. He sold off the hole he was living in and moved into the new one. After doing so, he said to himself, "I need a vacation." and he set off to Branborough, but there were too many halflings there and within a few weeks time he returned to Dunwood. On the way, he met Petyr Brandybuck! And what an honor it was, but Petyr was in quite a hurry so he tipped his head, said "Adieu!" and rushed off.
If you do cross by Dunwood, do come meet Togolit, one of the merriest halflings you will ever meet!

____
[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 stall until the guards come. I walk up to him fast, then when I am within a few feet away from him, I act drunk and start to cause a scene with him as the centre of attraction. "Louis?!" I yell walking up to him and stumbling as if I am drunk. "What?" he says turning around. "Ey! It's good old louie! Listen up everybody! This man riiight" I close one eye and turn around and point at him, "'Ere! Was the idiot of our class in that thing! Er what was it called?" I walk up to him and tug on his shirt and yell, "What was it called eh louie?" I start to shake him, "What was it called? Ah right, school! Y'know what we learnt about in school?!" I straighten my jacket and slap him on the back and in a calm tone say, "Jail." the guards have reached and they take 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: "Hello!" I think to myself, "These are bandits they are!" I quickly climb up the nearest tree. Yes, I am armed, but I only fight when I need to. I carve out a large, thick piece of bark and throw it behind the cottage. "Ey!" yells one of the bandits, "Whazzat?"
"Y-you c-check!" says the other one.
The first one hesitates, but then stands sort of tall and says, "Y-ye, naturally..ha! Like I'm a-afraid! Ye!" he walks around the back of the cottage, by then I have come down and creep up behind the second one. I tap him on the shoulder, yell "Boo!" and whack him on the head with the pommel of my sword, knocking him out. The second one comes running around, but I slash him across the chest, duck under a swipe of his sword, come up and give him a nice hard blow in the face. I then make sure the old man is okay and tie them to a tree. Ah, just as I hoped, a man is crossing the path. "Ho, there!" I say, the man comes. I say to him, "This man was being assaulted by those two bandits over there, would you be so kind as to protect him in case there are any others until I fetch some authorities from Dunwood?"
"Oh, not a problem!" he says with a friendly smile, I know he isn't a bandit, I've seen him around Dunwood.
I then go and fetch authorities from Dunwood, and then go and relax at home.
[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: "Hello!" I say with a smile, "Have you got any elvish bread? I love it!"
"Aye!" he says, he bends down and comes back up with a big leaf which is folded up holding something, a lot of something. I assumed the something was the elvish bread.
"I'll give you...50"
"60!"
"55"
"62!"
"58, no further"
"60, no less."
I start to walk away, "58!" he says, "58!"
I smile, then adopt a neutral expression and turn around, "I'll take the whole stack."

I was born unlike most dwarves. My father, Tog, had gone off one day on vacation to Salvus. He came back a year later with...me. I was born to a supposedly great mother who died giving birth to me. She and my father met in Salvus one day and after a a while things got...well you get my point. So we traveled together to Kal'Azgoth and he raised me in our clan's hall with the help of my two uncles Zahrer and Kairn.
When I was about 6, and could hold a sword, I was trained in combat. My father set up a training dummy in the arena of the city and during some practices I was allowed to work along side the other legionnaires. “Sword up lad” “Keep at it” He would encourage me to practice day in and day out until I was up to speed with the grunts of the legion. I am now 21 years of age.

[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:The bridge creaks and groans under Drorn's weight as he slowly edges across. His pick, not very damaged, is held tightly in his hand. The ore glitters in the light of the torch placed on the other side of the ravine. A crack appears in the rock, followed by another and another. “NAE!!!” he shouts jumping
the last few feet. As he hits the edge the bridge behind him shifts one final time before sinking and then falling down into the ravine. Crashes of rock against rock sound from far below. To dark to see, the torch is the only light. He mines quickly, taking all the ore. He shoulders the ore and turns, almost walking off the edge. “e...” he mutters and shouts down the tunnel on the other side “Lads...'elp?!”.
[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: Zahrer sits next to Drorn, he takes the ale from the lad with a smile “Yer too young lad. Wait 'til yer oldeh”. “Uncle”. “Aye lad?”. Drorn points silently at the crying boy, then at the two dwarves walking towards him. The glint off the knife reflects in the firelight. “Oi” Zahrer says standing “Whut ye twu duin?”. They change direction for the new threat, Drorn's father, before stopping. The golden decorations of Zahrer's commander uniform shine brightly. This is what caught their eye. “Eh nothin sar. Jus'...umm...guin t' talk t' th' lad. Cheer 'im up” one says with a fake smile. He tries to hide the knife behind his back. “Wiut tha' knoife? Ye t'ink ah'm stupid?” he draws his sword, and the dwarrvish iron makes a slight hiss as it slides from the scabbard. The two look at each other as if weighing the risk. They turn to go and Zahrer turns back to Drorn “See lad ye don' even need t' foight sometoimes”. “Fatheh! Look out!” and the knife flew past Zahrer's face, NEARLY SHAVING HIS BEARD!!! “YE FAWKERS WANNA GU! LE'S GU!!!”. But they were no longer there. The only evidence of what happened was the brief flutter of a cloak running around a corner and the knife imbedded into the wall. “Drorn” “Aye Uncle?” “Why don' ye gu cheer th' lad up. Ah've gut some business t' attend t'” With that Drorn started talking to the young dwarf to cheer him up and Zahrer went to kill those who nearly cut his fine beard.
[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:The brewmaster of Kal'Azgoth walks quickly forward and hands Drorn the ale. “On th' 'ouse lad. Tesstin a few new brews an' thought ye moight beh a gud person t' 'ave test 'em”. Drorn looks down into the mug, the liquid fire swirling around and the deep smell of apples rises from the drink. “Well”Drorn thought “Moight as well”. The mug reaches his lips and the crisp taste of apples mixed with the alcohol penetrates his mind. Taking a deep swig Drorn smiles “This beh great” “T'ank ye lad”. The brewmaster turns around and heads back into the Kal'Azgoth tavern with the empty mug in hand. “I just had my first ale!” Drorn thinks as he goes off to tell his father.

Full Name: Jace Peak
Current Age: 24
Sub-race (if any): none
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
Jace Peak is commonly know as somewhat secretive but has a reputation for looking on the brighter side. He is reluctant to reveal information from his past, scowling when asked. He grew up within the mountain, untouched by the evils of civilization, in a camp of less than 15 including himself, his brother, and his father. I do not say mother for she died at an early age, him never really knowing much about her. His father often trained him in the martial ways of their people, and, although peaceful, he was instructed on how to kill from an early age. He was never close to his father, seeing him as instructor and not a parent.
One day the sky went dark with unknown magic, and the camp fell victim to attack by unknown forces, and upon this occurring, his father forced him and his brother into the forest telling them to run. He obeyed and survived in the unknown woods for years, relying on pure instinct for the survival of himself and his brother. They were separated though, and only reunited when Jace came upon civilization ragged from his travels and somewhat... off ...he suffers from mild anxiety and in the worst of times, gripping fear and depression, due to his extended stay in the forest. But now, after finally reuniting with his brother and finding salvation, he attempts to live a normal life, while his primal instincts still lay dormant...
Ambitions for the Future: As I've said before, he wishes to become ordinary as he can, however, he feels a deep urge to help others, and cannot deny that his instincts that kept him alive are still active.
Personality: He is quite broody, but always try's his best to provide humor to a situation, he is a walking contradiction, attempting to outweigh his base nature with the persona he wishes he could adapt.
Skills: Ability to survive, relying only on the land. Ability to be in touch with natural events (non-magical). And when desperately needed, the abilty to kill.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Any other details you wish to share about your character: Relatively normal, but visibly offset by the scar tissue that stretches across him and his ragged look from surviving alone.

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 older elves are mocking a small elven child. How do you react?
Answer: I attempt to intimidate the elves, without causing need for alarm among others, attempting a sly remark and displaying my self as powerful, a very primal fashion, but somewhat refined. Asserting dominance, but forcefully. 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: Reminding me of my own father, I would of course help him, if only on instinctual action alone. I would help him gather himself and offer to carry him to his destination, free of charge. Making sure he is settled into his new location, before adventuring off again. 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: I would most likely be straightforward with him, asking for the price I deem appropriate.
"I'll offer 5 pieces for that box of rations"
"Sorry, the price is 9 pieces, take it or leave it."
"Listen, I know that box is worth 4 pieces and I'm willing to pay 5, you will unlikely get someone who shows interest again. You know that you can take 5 and that's better than you may do otherwise. So the offer stands."
If he accepted I would make my purchase and say no more, if he denied, I would listen to his counter offer and Buy that if, say, 6 or 7. But otherwise leave, and say no more.

Full Name: Nefale Haer
Current Age: 36
Sub-race (if any): Wood elf
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Nefale was and never will be aware of who her parents were. But one thing for sure was that she was born alone with no siblings, which is pretty common for elves anyway. She was taken care of by random foster mothers each year. When she was a child, she never experienced true love of families and the bond between each other. She didn't allow her 'babysitters' to name her. Instead she named herself Nefale Haer, for what seems to be with no reason at all except that she liked the way it was pronounced. For her whole life, Nefale has lived quietly behind other people's backs, afraid that once she exposes her true inner personality, she will be ruined.
Once she turned 20, she refused to have someone take care of her. She wandered around alone in the forests of Anthos, sometimes she would go near Leumalin to listen to the Ancient History of Aegis so she knows about her race's origins and history. She was deeply fascinated about the part when Iblees touched evil to the land and it's people. She thinks to herself sometimes, 'I won't let any evil get to me, I'll be pure, just like everyone used to be when Iblees wasn't there yet.'
Nefale have always wanted a close friend, someone who she could trust and love. Whenever she had the opportunity to say hello, people would brush her off, simply because she didn't reveal herself enough. Nefale had big hopes and dreams: hopes of being pure and against evil, dreams of having a loyal friend and such. But as time passed, she began to think less and less of her ideas...
Ambitions for the Future: To find a friend that understands her and trusts her which she could do the same to.
Personality: Nefale is very self secure about herself, and is quite emotionally unstable. She have lots of respect for others, while having no respect for herself. She can get hurt quite easily. Her hidden inner personality have rarely -or more of never been seen by anyone.
Skills: Keeps her identity very well covered and can keep secrets for a long time or forever if necessary.

____
[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 older elves are mocking a small elven child. How do you react?[/b]
Answer: I would probably do something like this-
I started to stare at the older elves, my respect for others seemed to have vanished as I watched them mock the child. However, there was a whole group of them and just one of me... But, this was a chance to fight against 'evil', I can prove myself of some use. I hesitated a bit, but I have made up my mind. If I was the kid and I saw someone leaving without raising a finger to help, I would be furious. "H-hey, stop!" I said, then I repeated, this time a bit louder. "Stop!"
[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: I would do this-
I quickly gathered up the coins and shoved it into the piece of fabric that used to be a coin pouch. While I did this, I mumbled "oh no, did I do something? I'm so, so sorry. Won't happen again, are you okay? Here have this back..." I covered the hole in the coin pouch with my hand and attempted to hand it to the old man who was still lying there. "Oh, sorry. I'll umm... wait here till you recover." I said, not feeling comfortable with the thought of touching the old man to help him.
[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: I believe I would try haggle for a weapon first, just in case-
I glanced strangely at the man then took a look at the items in his carriage. "Hmm..." I mumbled, deep in thought. "Can I offer you 3 gold pieces for that stone knife?" I asked quietly, unsure if that was a good offer or not.
"No, 6 gold pieces is it, can't get lower than that."
"I've wasted my time then... unless 4 gold pieces will be enough." I said with a little bit more of an attitude.
"What about 5"
"4, please."
"No."
Without a reply, I headed off on my own way. "Fine, you scum of all scums, I won't offer you a single gold piece next time. I'll just ignore you the next time I meet you and... and.." I muttered to myself, annoyed.

Full Name: Zarien Heinzreich Current Age: 24 Sub-race (if any): Adunian Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Zarien was born Zarien Heinzreich to the parents of Adolf Heinzreich and Jocasta Heinzreich. He had one older brother, named Derick Heinzreich. However, soon after he was born, he was kidnaped by the Rhodirs, a clan of outcast Adunians. There, Zarien grew apart from the civil lifestyle of his brother, instead he grew into a tribal ‘savage’. Zarien was first a child slave of the Rhodirs, and was beaten and scarred from the Rhodir tribals. As the Rhodirs traveled on horseback, Zarien became a proficient horse rider. He also hunted, being trained in the greatsword, given to him by one of the tribals.
Although Zarien learned many martial skills, Zarien was not able to hone his thought skills. At the age of 12, Zarien was in a raid with the Rhodirs on an Adunian clan house, until Zarien was knocked out, and left to die. There, he was founded by Cloud Temple Monks, where they healed teenager Zarien and taught him many things. Zarien lived in the Temple for a few years, as he had no where left to go. Zarien slowly lost his tribal side, however, he did not fully lose it. He his still bloodthristy at times, and brings law into his own hands.
At the age of 19, Zarien decided to go explore the world, to find somewhere else he could call home. After exploring, he discovered he had an older brother named Derick, and Zarien has made it his goal to find him.

[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: Zarien was walking around the city notices the dark clothed man he thinks to himself ‘This man reeks of ill intent but what should I do I just have a book and my trusty dagger.’ Looking around he notices a few guards in the background that could stop the man, Zarien yells towards the guards “Guards! Guards! There is a man of suspicion heading towards our noble Emperor’s Palace” the guards look at me in intrigue “What makes you think he has ill intent?” one of the guards say Zarien responds “He is clothed in clothing darker than the night and on the side bulged a hidden sword” the guards nod to Zarien and start walking towards the dark clothed man. “Halt in the name of the Emperor!” one guard says the dark clothed man looks to the guards and begins to run down a dark alleyway with the guards in hot pursuit. Zarien did not follow them but a few days later there was a schedule execution for a man that look like the person he saw that day.
[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: Gulping at the sight of them, Zarien froze into place. He sees the two men, interrogating man, and stares for a good two minutes at them, hearing their rude remarks towards the grizzled, old man. The old man was shaking, almost sweating at the look of it. One of the bandits pulls out a sword and marches to the old man. The old man tries to steady his sword, but fails to stop shaking. This pushes Zarien over the edge, “Hey! Stop that” Zarien yells towards the two bandits, already regretting what he just did. Both look back towards him, and the closest to him snickers, “We got some want-to-be hero here!” The second one laughs, “Hey, Visgoth, this is our lucky day! Two in one bargain!” They both began to laugh hysterically, and this made Zarien pulls out his greatsword. “This kid thinks he’s all tough! Visgoth, handle him, and I’ll get the old geyser.” The bandit closest to him comes forward, pulling his mace out. “Sorry kid, lets just hope you have something good on you...” The bandit lunges forwards toward Zarien, only slightly away from hitting him. Zarien then tries to lunge back, only to get blocked and Zarien’s sword flown the other direction. The bandit laughs, kicking Zarien in the chest to the ground, still laughing. Zarien, now faced down on the ground, tries to get up, but is stepped on by the bandit on his back. “See, kid? Being hero ain’t so easy. You’ll be lucky to live if you beg now. Who knows? I sure do need a slave for...” The bandit rants on, as Zarien clenches dirt and a rock into his palm of his hand. Zarien quickly turns onto his back, knocking the bandit off of him and tripping backwards. Zarien then throws the rock and dirt towards the band, blinding him. “My eyes!” The bandit screams, as he drops his mace. Zarien quickly goes for it, then stands before the bandit, the bandit being unarmed. “Give me that back!” The bandit yells, itching his now red eyes. Zarien does not respond, but trusts towards the bandit’s head, shattering the skull. Now, with his shirt stained in blood, he looks towards the other bandit, who is a on top of the old man, yelling at him. The other bandit looks back, seeing his buddy dead, jumps up and runs towards Zarien. “I will kill you! I will ki-” He stops in mid sentence, as Zarien sees a small blade poking through the bandit’s chest. The bandit falls down onto the ground, bleeding out. The old man walks towards Zarien, weary looking and slouching. “Thanks kid... Want a drink?” Zarien, confused, responds, “I guess?”
[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colorful stall.

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: Zarien sees the man and his store full of different items then he notices a book on the book it’s title is “Aegis: Before the Tide.” Zarien eyes opened, seeing this and thought ‘Yes! I have finally found it!’ he looks into his Minas pouch and sees he has only 50 Minas he looks to the books price and it is set to around 100-150 Minas ‘Blast well let see if he is willing to haggle.’ He begins to walk towards the man and, reaching his stall, calls to him, “Good sir I have a question on one of these books you have” the salesman walks towards Zarienand smiles “Aye? What be your question milord?” he asks. Zarien points towards the book and queries “That price is too high for my budget have you a heart to haggle for it?” The salesman laughs and nods saying, “By all means milord”. He then grabs the book and walks back to the counter and continues to talk “Now milord, this book is a relic from the old days. But since you seem like a good fellow I’ll lower the price to 75 Minas would that be a fair price?” Zarien shakes his head and asks “Is there any chance to lower it to 35 Minas and I’ll trade you my old book about the Undead of Aegis?” The salesman smiles “Milord that be a mighty fine trade ye be dealing there I say we have a deal!” they shake hands and hand each other the items in the deal “Have a pleasant day milord!” Zarien nods while smiling he finally got the book he was looking for.

Full Name: Bloom Witherstar
Current Age: 20
Sub-race (if any): Northern
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Bloom was born and raised in a very poor family. From a young age she was forced to fend for herself and her younger sister Raven. Her mother was deathly ill with the plague and soon passed away when Bloom was only 11 years old. Her father could not handle this untimely death of his beloved and soon abandoned the two girls in the filthy streets of Kingston far from home. There they wandered the streets for weeks, eating only when they were given small rations from generous citizens. Weeks turned to months and Raven's health was deteriorating from lack of nutrition, Bloom needed to find medicine fast before her dearest sister of only 9 years old withered away. She laid the small girl under a canopy that sheltered her from the rain and covered her with a ratty blanket. Bloom kissed Raven goodbye as she set off to find the only thing that will stop her pain: medicine.
It was cold, Bloom had left her only good jacket to cover Raven with. Her hair was turning to icicles and her whole body was soaking wet and sticking to her figure, she didn't have the strength to move forward. Suddenly everything turned black and....Bloom awoke under a bright light. She blinked furiously thrashing around and screaming her sister's name. The screaming was soon silenced when a tall, muscular figure slammed her hard on the head. 2 or 3 days later she was pulled out of a mysterious bed, she had no prior memory of getting here. The strangers, who she now knows as the Adunian Clan, forced her to undergo strict marksmanship training until they were confident that she was highly skilled with a bow. She was soon sent off to aid in raids of other clans.
Years passed and Bloom still wonders about her sister Raven. Is she alive? Probably not. But that thought never leaves her head, what if? What if Raven is still out there? She refuses to give up until she finds out what happened to her sister. It is her life goal to track her down, no matter what the consequences or truth that she is not sure she is ready to hear.
Ambitions for the Future:[/b] She wishes to find out what has become of her younger sister Raven.
Personality:[/b] Very over protective and passionate about others she has never met. Tends to be aggressive at times but always strives to keep her calm.
Skills:[/b] Archery, Acrobatics, Stealth.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):[/b] Bloom has bright red hair and is average height, she has a muscular but slim figure. She is 5'7 and weighs only 115 lbs. She is also very light skinned. http://imgur.com/B252tnP&5ThnJX1#0

[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:
Bloom notices a suspicious looking man creeping towards the emperor's palace. She quickly looks around and notices a few guards within shouting distance if there is any trouble. She does not know what this man is up to and definitely does not want to cause alarm when it is unneeded. Bloom decides to carefully sneak behind the shrouded figure, mindful not to let him discover her following him. She becomes weary of this man and concludes that she is going to confront him about his actions and intents. Upon talking to him, only then does she decide whether or not to capture the guards attention.

Bloom eyes the men and calmly walks into hearing distance, she is hoping to overhear the confrontation between the two bandits and this elderly man. She is displeased by what she has heard and gets the bandits attention. She calmly asks the bandits why they are doing this and tries to get both sides of the story from each party. Once hearing both sides, only then does she choose either to attack the bandits or keep walking. She worries for the old man but only gives sympathy where sympathy is due. Bloom is very fair to others and only attacks when it is necessary, she does not want to make any foolish mistakes.

Answer: "Hello mister, would you happen to be selling a high quality bow?" Salesman, "Why yes! I have everything you need and more. But please mam, I would really appreciate it if you haggled a price with me." Bloom eyes the man and a small smirk trickles across her face. "Why sir! That is an amazing deal and only a fool would pass such an opportunity up! Now, I am willing to spend 50 dollars on this fine bow of yours." The salesman looks at Bloom with bewilderment, "But lady, this bow was crafted by elves, I am disgusted by your offer of 50 dollars. I'll be willing to sell it to you for 80 and I want interest since you insulted my so badly." She eyes him longer and pauses before saying, "I will pay 65 dollars, no more, no less." The salesmen, "But I need to feed me children lady, come on, have a heart." Bloom's face relaxes and she starts to feel pity for the man, "Fine, I will pay you 80 for the bow but no interest will be involved, do we have a deal?" The salesman gets excited, "It's a deal miss

Full Name: Cediin Crope
Current Age: 22
Sub-race (if any): Southeron
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
Cediin grew up in a forgotten town called Plaves where there was always a cool breeze blowing through the wind as the settlement was located near a giant lake. Things usually went well in Plaves including things as building new houses, harvesting crops, and growing up as a healthy being. They had many celebrations for the good things that happened, and had feasts during the celebrations, which fed not only the young, matured, and aged, but the animals as well.
After one of many celebrations a few of the horses that they used to till the fields suddenly collapsed. No one understood what had happened to the horse, so a few people were trying to investigate the horse for any symptoms of previous diseases. They found nothing on the dead animal. While the people of Plaves worked and rested they all wondered what could have happened, and two days after the horse had collapsed they noticed all the horses and even the dogs have fallen dead too. The people have never seen anything like this before, and started to get worried. They tried to investigate the animals further to see if they could notice anything specific about them. The first horse that had fallen had been half-dissolved and lies in a puddle of dark purple blood.
No-one knew what to do about this situation, but they stated this as a new type of plague. They all decided to try to figure out a cure for the plague before any of the people would follow the fate of the animals. Then the night came, and the citizens that lived near the barns where the animals had died asked their neighbors for shelter because they didn't want to sleep near the plagued barn.
When morning came the town got together to discuss what was to be done, but then realized many haven't shown up. They searched the houses of those who hadn't come only to realize half of the village had been infected, and suffered the reacquiring fate. The people of Plaves all agreed that they needed to get out of that area, and take nothing with them as the objects maybe have the plague on them as well. So all started out of town, and many started to think that the the person walking next to them may have the plague. After many arguments over the fact that they should stay together in order to survive the wilderness everyone decided to take their own paths. However many husbands and their spouse took their young with them to help them survive. Many mid-teenagers and older, including Cediin Crope, took their own way in order to find a new start at life.
Ambitions for the Future:[/b] Get a well paying job as a Guard or Mercenary in order to help others unlike when Cediin wasn't able to in Plaves during the plague.
Personality:[/b] Kind, likes to help others, but has days where he gets frustrated and needs to relax.
Skills:[/b] Due to wondering for a new start in the wilderness he has learned to use weapons such as Sword and Bow.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):[/b] Black messy hair, dark brown eyes, fairly long but narrow face, built with more lower body strength than upper body.

[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 clearly shout to the guards to inform them of the stealthily figure that appeared to have been sneaking in the palace to either steal an item or kill a specific person. I would tell the guards to insure the safety of all possible and unaware townsfolk.
[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 run up to and shout at the bandits to leave the man alone, and walk back to where they came from. If the bandits resist my request then I would fight them off, and only killing if necessary.

Answer: " * " symbol stands for what I say or do. "+" symbol stands for what he says or does.
*I clearly state that the items don't look of much value.
+He might say the items are in perfect condition and work as any top quality item sold anywhere else.
*If he wants my business he will accept a reasonably low offer for a quiver of arrows and a simple hunting bow because where ever he may have gotten the items from (especially illegally) I wouldn't want him to make much profit, and at least if the gear has a legal owner I will be able to simply give it to the owner.
+He says his items are legal and high quality and will sell for a little more then I offer.
*I mentioned that his stall didn't look like an average merchants stall, and if my offer won't be accepted I might point this stall out to the guards.
+He then says fine here's the gear now hand over the money.
*I say from how he responded to the threat of the guards I shouldn't accept the deal and ask the guards about him. -walks to get guards- and leaves the guards to deal with him.

1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of older elves are mocking a small elven child. How do you react?
Answer: Dae strolled through the forest, unafraid of the shadows as he gazed at the treetops. Suddenly, his ear twitched as he heard a faint noise, like whispering. Now curious, Dae turned in that direction and walked a short distance to find a few Elves teasing a smaller one. From behind a tree, he watched for a moment as the older Elves advanced the younger.
"How come you're so short, huh? You need to grow up some more, or else we will have to do it for you!" The other Elves started jeering as well, and the smaller trembled.
"I'm... I am not afraid of you!" He yelled.
"You know, it's not very safe to be out here without a matured Elf around," Dae stated, walking out into the open at last. The older Elves seemed to shrink back while the young one ran forwards and hid behind a tree. Hesitantly, the Elf that seemed to be the leader of this band walked forwards.
"Oh, we were just playing around with our friend over there. There's nothing to worry about in this forest, anyways. So can we get back to playing, please?"
Dae narrowed his eyes. "I'm not that thick. You have no right to bully anyone who is younger or shorter than you. How do you know what he's going to accomplish in life? How do you know if he is going to own this land one day- and own you?" He paused for a moment, letting the words sink into the leader. It seemed to work, as he hung his head slightly. Dae continued.
"If I or anyone else finds you are harming anyone again, you're going to be in some big trouble. I don't want that to happen to a young Elf like you, okay?" The leader nodded, and Dae did so as well, grinning. "Also, try not to get into trouble out of the town either."
After one moment of them both looking up and smiling, Dae turned around and took the youngest Elf back home, as he wanted.
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: Dae was once again walking, and noticed colorful leaves that fell to the ground. He also noticed... a shoe? Looking up, Dae realized that an old man was just passing by. He seemed to be struggling a bit, and that was confirmed as the man toppled off his cane right in front of Dae. A coin purse split open and hit the ground as he fell. "Oh! Are you okay?" In shock, Dae immediately helped the man up, and supported him while gathering the coins. He took out an extra bag and immediately shook the coins in, then set it down and made sure the man was completely stable again.
"Thank you, my friend," said the old man.
"Don't mention it. I also believe these are yours?" Dae picked up the coin bag he had put down, shut it tight, and handed it to the man.
The old man's eyes widened. "Why, yes! They are! I cannot thank you enough."
Dae shook his head. "It doesn't matter. You're headed to where I came from, I think? Would you mind if I walked with you? It would be nice company."
The man smiled and nodded. As they headed down the path, he also gave Dae one of the coins as a thank you. Which Dae promptly gave back after hugging him. (:P)
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: Dae was walking through yet another woodland area, when suddenly the trees opened up to a small clearing with a carriage and a trader. They shouted, "Hey! Do you think you might want something new to read? Then check out a few of my wares!"
Dae's thoughts were suddenly clouded as he remembered: He hadn't read anything in at least a month. Maybe something new was bound to come up. He walked over to the trader's colorful stand. "Welcome!" They said happily. "We have some fairly rare books here, such as the Arethor Legacy, The Fall of The Sister City, or Cavern Dwarves Revisited." The second one about his home tread in Dae's thoughts.
"How much is The Fall of The Sister City?" "Only 15 Minas." Dae rummaged about for his coin purse and counted his money. Only 16 Minas left... just over enough. However, he didn't want to spend all of his money on just one book. Dae looked up. "Hm... could I haggle for that price? Maybe 11 Minas?" The man thought for a moment over the 4 lost Minas. "Well... I can tell you're going to be short if you buy this full-price, but it's cheap the way it is right now... But nobody seems to be interested except you, so we have a deal." Dae smiled, handing the money to the man running the shop and receiving the book. "Thank you! Oh, and I also enjoy the colors you have for your shop. You should keep them." After a second thank you, this time from the trader, Dae turned and left to continue his walk.

Full Name: Brurid Ulren
Current Age: 29
Sub-race (if any): Northerner
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
Childhood: Born into a family of factory workers in the city of Aldersberg, Brurid developed an admiration for industry. The efficiency and beauty of a thousand men all working together to complete a single goal enthralled him from a young age. Naturally, as he grew older, he threw his helping hands into the fires of industry. This hard work engrained a mantra of always "getting things done" at any cost. This has long been the reputation that he has carried. If you need anything to be completed or "acquired" in the city of Aldersberg, Brurid is the man to get it done. Whether it be hard physical labor or something as simple as pest extermination, Brurid was the person to go to. However, three days after his 19th birthday, tragedy struck.
As stated before, Brurid's family were all factory workers. Meaning they worked hard and when they got home, with dirt and grime covering their bodies, they enjoyed a nice tall glass of ale from time to time. While Brurid was off chasing his latest womanly prospect, his family drank just a little too much. During that particular night, Brurid's sister, forgot to put out one of the candles before she passed out. The fire quickly spread from the wick to the curtains and within a few minutes, the entie house was ablaze. That following morning, after the flames had been put out by some nearby samaritans, Brurid learned what had become of his family.
Newly orphaned and with a house reduced to embers, Brurid had nowhere to sleep and no money in his pocket. The first year of this new life were the hardest on him. Sleeping on the street and doing whatever work he could find.The shock of all of his kin being engulfed in flame had destroyed his "can-do" attitude and he found himself in dire straits. At the age of 20, Brurid decided to leave Aldersberg for greener pastures. For the next five years, Brurid wandered the world, doing what he does best (Manual labor) and scraping by at whatever amount of minnas he could make.
Presently, Brurid is a mercenary that does any job that's given to him. He is quickwitted and strong thanks to his factory working experience and he is well known amongst his clients as a man that gets the job done at any cost. This "at-all-costs" attitude is what has led him to the moderate success that he sees today. Living on a barely-liveable amount of money in the city of Kingston.
Ambitions for the Future: To land a job big enough to retire on. No more fighting, killing, and hunting for random strangers who will give him money.
Personality: To many people, he is very quiet and cold. This trait just runs in his Northern blood. However, while many Northerners are just "thinking", Brurid is actually considering the costs and benefits of socializing with this person. Will they be able to provide him with money? Food? Shelter? If not, he has no use for them. He generally only befriends or opens up to people who he feels can provide him with something. He does, however, have a few very close friends. However, the status of his friendship is only met through some form of life debt or shield-brotherhood. Many of his close friends have either fought alongside him in battle or, in some cases, saved his life.
Skills:[/b] Trained and deadly mercenary, good with bows and swords. Years of physical labor have left him strong and as a result, he can hit hard. He is also cunning and decisive when there is a profit at stake. He is renowned amongst other mercenaries as the man who has the solution to everything. That is, of course, if this solution will result a successful contract. He is ruthless and will go to any length to complete his contracts.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):[/b]
Tall, pale skinned, orange hair with a long beard. And traditional Northern wear!

[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 consider my options. He could be a thief, murderer, or a darkly dressed farmer who tends to sulk around a lot. If he were the latter, I'd be thrown into the dungeon for assault. That would really set me back on retirement! No, I'll just wait here and if he does something bad, there surely would be a nice juicy bounty placed on his head. And that, I can get behind!
[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 am duty bound to defend the old man, of course. There is honor in this fight and I know for a fact that these men are bad. Unlike the darkly dressed man at the palace. I spring into action and dispatch the bandits very easily. Admist the action I take note of the man's belongings. Gold, especially. When the fighting is over I ask for my reward!
[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 see a very nice golden statue that would fetch me a pretty penny on the market. Instinct takes over and I spring into the old addage of "Buy low, sell high." I try to haggle him down to the lowest possible price of 100 minas. He denies this and I step back a second to consider my options. I give him a counter offer of 100g and any job he needs done. He tells me he has a rat problem in some of his wares and in about an hour I stop his infestation and walk off with a golden statue worth a huge sum of money acquired within an hour! This will definitely help towards my retirement.

Full Name: Darius Silverkin
Current Age: 29
Sub-race (if any):
Past /History(include childhood, major-events, etc.2+ paragraphs long):
Darius was born in the human capital of Abresi as the son of a lady of night, and a customer who skipped out on compensation for services rendered. As a ******* child, Darius couldn't find a craftsman to apprentice him, nor would the clergy provide him and his mother with aid, being the "sinful wretches" they be. Life was tough, but luckily Darius's mother was resourceful. In addition to selling herself, she was able to obtain uncommon goods for trade, some of which were gotten through less than legitimate channels. Darius received no formal education, but the items his mother sold often included books, which once he could read for himself, gave him some knowledge of the world, and sparked a curiosity.
At the age of 18, Darius joined the military forces in service of the Holy Oren Empire, he had a deep desire to help provide for himself and his mother, and to see the world, if his assignments would allow for it. After a year of training, Darius was a passable scout. For several years, his duties included that of subduing creatures of the night, and scouting out, land for human occupation. one day, at the age of 25 Darius was resting in the barracks when his commanding officer ordered him and the rest of his regiment to mount up, and ride out to a distamt village. When they arrived, the commanding officer stepped forward and issued a decree to the gathered townspeople.
"It is the will of his majesty, that all villages in human lands submit to the rule of the Holy Oren Empire. Despite numerous attempts, your village has not submitted to our rule, so we must force you into submission. Men! Gather everyone into the village into groups of ten!"
Despite a little trepidation, Darius followed his orders and gathered ten people, 5 men, 3 women, and 2 children, then proceeded to stand watch over them while the rest of the village was gathered. After all had been gathered, the commander walked over to the group Darius had assembled and addressed them.
"My own personal method for making this village submit, will be decimation." He held out ten thin metal rods in his left hand. "Whomever draws the shortest rod, shall be slain"
Eyes closed and hands shaking each of the townspeople in the small group grabbed a rod. Then one of the women shrieked. "Timothy! No!" one of the children, a little boy, began to cry. He held up the metal rod he grabbed. His was the shortest by a large margin.
In a cold manner, the commander said "Silverkin, if you would."
Darius raised his axe above his head and stared at the child below him. The boy had stopped crying, but tears were still steadily streaming down his face.
"Commander...Im sorry, I can't do this." he lowered his axe to his side.
"You dare defy an order? No matter, I will do this myself." the commander reached for his sword, raised it and swung in a diagonal swipe. Blood spurted, but not the child's. Darius had stepped in front of him, taking the blow himself in the left arm. The light armor he was wearing lessened the hit a bit, but it was still a wound that would leave him scarred nonetheless. With his right arm, Darius swung his axe into the arm of his commander, hitting the wrist and cleaving off the hand, blood once again was shed. "YOU will not do this either!"
After being subdued by his comrades, Darius was taken back to Abresi, where he was punished. Due to the fact that he too was injured, his attack was considered retaliation and thus he did not lose his hand for removing his commander's, but for hindering the operation at the village he underwent 100 lashes, which he still bears the scars of, and was discharged from the military forces. After giving most of the pay he had made in the military to his mother and saying his goodbyes, he left to wander the world. Ambitionsfor the Future:[/b] Currently, Darius wishes to experience all he can in the world, and thus is prone to travel, but occasionally, he may stay in an area for a while. Personality:[/b] Darius is a smart-ass and can be crude at times, but he has a strong sense of honor and loyalty. He usually keeps a pretty good attitude, years of military discipline didn't make him a complete hard-ass, but if times demand, he can be serious. Injustice angers him greatly. Skills:[/b] axemanship, bartering (he was exposed to this as a child with his mother's business dealings. He is capable of doing it, but doesn't necessarily enjoy the process), taming (his time scouting wilderness lands, populated by animals gave him the opportunity to befriend some, leaving him with this skill) Appearance(this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):[/b]Darius is of a large, muscular build, standing about 6 ft tall, his hair is long brown and often worn in a ponytail. He wears simple clothes, with the exception of his wolf-skin cloak, which he uses to conceal his identity if needed. He has a scar across his arm, where he was struck by a sword. Across his back are numerous scars, mementos of his lashing. (http://imgur.com/a/GssEk#0) Any other details you wish to share about your character:[/b] Darius fights based on loyalties to people and his morals, not for his race or empire. He does not outright hate the Empire for the incident at the village, because he believes the method used there was the commander's doing, but he has a great distrust for the Empire, and politics in general.

[b]1.Whilstin 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: Darius follows the man, he has no love for the Emperor, but there is no telling what kind of repercussions an attempt on his life could create for the world, there would be a massive uproar. Darius slips through an alley onto a small backstreet paralleling the road that the figure is traveling. Quickly Darius dashes ahead to an alley that the man will pass. Sliding into position, Darius grabs the figure and pulls them into the alley as they pass, shoving them up against the wall.
"Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?" he whispers, trying not to draw attention.
Up close he can see the man's face, it is a young elf, who looks to be no older than 18. Startled the elf blurts,
"Y-y-your Emperor, the path he takes will be that of which your Empire took years ago. He is ambitious, surely he will attempt to take the lands of the other races! I cannot allow my kin to be overtaken by someone such as that."
"As far as I know, the Empire has made no moves to do so, though I wouldn't put it past the bastards. If such a thing happens, hell, I'd help you put a dagger in the man's back! But if you just go charging in and attempt to kill him, what will that bring? An elf attacking the leader of the "Holy" (Darius says this facetiously) Oren Empire? It would bring nations to war, only expediting that which you seek to avoid by killing the Emperor. Go home kid."
he lets the elf go, and walks away while the elf stands dumb founded by his words.
"Kid! Next time, keep better control of your weapon!" Darius yells back, tossing a small dagger to the side as he walks 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: Darius looks at the sword in his hand, "Well this is less than ideal, I would prefer to have an axe, but it looks like this is what I'll have to work with," he whispers to the forest wolf he had tamed earlier with the bones of an undead.
"Hey s! You guys lost?" Darius shouts while emerging from the treeline
"Shove off! We'll be with you in a minute, Meat!" one of the bandits retorts
"'Fraid I can't do that!" he charges, wolf by his side. "Watch my back, lil buddy."
He veers off towards the smaller of the two bandits, thinking it would be better to take him out first. Keeping momentum, Darius swings his sword into the bandit's, and then crashing into him toppling him over. Readjusting his grip on his sword, Darius steps onto the chestplate of the downed bandit, and drives his sword down into his throat.
From behind him, Darius hears a bark then a bloody roar, quickly turning he sees the larger of the two bandits, a beast of a man charging towards him axe in hand.
"Oh good, 'been needin' one of those," Darius says to himself. He maintains his position on top of the quickly dying bandit. The large bandit reaches him, with axe in both hands above his head, he swings down. Darius jumps from the axe's path, letting it cleave through the chestplate of the bandit's partner. "Here! I'll trade you!" Darius puts his right foot down on the axe that the large man is trying to remove from the armor, and drives his sword down into the bandits foot, pinning him to the ground. As the man roars in pain, Darius wrenches the axe from the armor, and jumps back, getting into a fighting stance.
With a wince, the large man removes the sword from his foot and charges again, yelling "You're dead!".
A howl comes from behind, and the wolf pounces on the man's back, and clamps down on his exposed neck. "Take my partner? I'll take yours!" he reaches behind himself and manages to grab the wolf by the tail, he rips it off himself and swings it down into the ground. The wolf yelps, and is then still.
Angered, Darius rushes the man, who drives the sword through his midsection, barely missing the spine. Fighting back shock, Darius takes a mighty swing, shouting, unsure if it's because of pain, or fury. The axe is buried into the man's neck. And with a thud, he falls onto his back, leaving the sword stuck in Darius's midsection. Darius hobbles over to his wolf and kneels down, checking on it. To his surprise he sees it breathing. With a snicker and a slight smile Darius looks up and asks the old man. "Heh, mind if we rest in your...home...a...bit" Darius passes out, falling to his side.
[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 noset prices.Heis willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices.Whatdo you do?(Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]
Answer: Darius sighs, and looks into his pouch, only seeing 10 coins. "I'll give you 7 coins for 5 glass bottles, and 4 servings of salted beef, gotta carry water and eat somehow, right?."
"7 coins? I have to make a living you know! Make it 15." the man replies.
It wasn't too much to ask for, but still a bit steep for the products, that. and the fact the price wasn't in his range.
Darius responded, "I believe 7 coins is more than fair. This town is the center of the empire, and thus a center of trade. One would assume that the coastal towns could ship in a large amount of sand to be made into glass, such a surplus would make something as small as these bottles very inexpensive to obtain. And the beef? The stall over there is selling bows and a bundle of arrows for only 5 coins." Darius gestures to a hunting stall that he saw on his way into the market. "I could just buy a set there and get the meat myself!"
"Wait wait wait, I get your point, 10 coins and you have a deal." the man says exhaustedly.
With a smug look, Darius dumps his coins out onto the counter of the stall, letting the man know that was all he had. "Pleasure doing business with you," he says as he grabs his purchases.

Full Name: Raven Witherstar
Current Age: 18
Sub-race (if any): Wood Elf
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): I was adopted into a poor family, my mother died at an early age taken by the plague that swept the land and I was raised by my sister, Ariana. My father left us in the dirty streets of Kingston soon after my mother died. He was stricken by grief and couldn't handle us. My sister and I wandered the streets for months. After months of begging and pillaging houses for food, I fell ill. My sister set off to find me medicine and that was the last time we saw each other. A generous stranger found me lying in the streets, took me in and nurtured me back to health. I soon left his humble abode to start a life of my own, but not without his help. He gave me food and tools to help me on my way to find my sister, and my life. I found myself, again, in the same position as before my sister left. I was wondering the streets of Kingston when I found a tavern that displayed a wanted sign for work. It was a calling to me. I could get money and fund my search for my long lost sister.
9 years past from the last time I saw Ariana, and not a day goes by that I have not thought about her. I wonder what happened to her, if she is dead, or if she is alive somewhere out there in the vast land of Anthos. I have made good money from my job at the tavern in those days and have inherited it from the owners. I make good business, but it never seems enough. I struggle everyday, but I am happy, and that's all that matters.
Ambitions for the Future: To find out what happened to my sister Ariana, and if she is still alive.
Personality: Ambitious, protective, timid, does not like confrontation.
Skills: Bar tending, acrobatics, speed, agility.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Tall, natural silver hair, and purple eyes. http://imgur.com/F2tDkPl

____
1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of older elves are mocking a small elven child. How do you react?
Answer: I glance over at the scene and slowly make my way towards the group. I hide behind a tree and watch closely. I listen intently to what they are saying and gather my courage to confront them. I timidly step forward and say with a quiet voice, "Stop that right now." They glance over at my direction, clearly they hadn't seen me. "What did you say lil' girl?" I pause for a second, clearly embarrassed, and stutter, "N-nothing, sorry."
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 slowly, but steadily walk up to him and help him up. "Thank you, kind lady, I very much appreciate your well doings" he says gratefully. "No problem sir" I quietly reply, whilst picking up his gold coins and handing them to him. He walks away happily and I get a warm feeling in my chest, knowing that I helped someone in need.
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: "Hello good sir, I would very much like to look at your sword collection, please, I have been thinking of taking up swords play." He grins and shows me his fine selection of swords, varying from wood to diamond. "Which one would you like, missy?" he says as he gestures to his collection. "Oh, I would very much like the stone one, you see, I like to start out small." He smiles and asks, "What is your starting price?" I ponder for a second and declare, "I will pay 20 minas for it, if that is okay with you?" We stand there for a moment and he replies, "I'm afraid I cannot do that, miss, these swords go for at least 50 minas and that one in particular is worth about 55." I look at him, clearly disappointed and walk away because I do not want confrontation.

Answer: Markus sees a man dressed in black and he sees him about to slip by the guards. Markus notices hes withen shouting distance of the guards he decides to tell the guards at him. He yells " Hey guards theres a man dressed in black about to go inside the Palace." Markus notices that the guards were asleep and were jerked awake due to his yell. The figure turns around and Markus notices a bow and yells "He was a bow Help!!" He runs down the street being followed by the figure. Markus knows the figure was an assassin of some sort and he will be swifter than him. He decides that the best was to get away is to hide in the local taravan in which he blended in.

[b]Definitions[/b] In your own words define the following terms. Do not take any definitions from elsewhere!:
Role-playing: Role-playing is the act of playing the role of a character. Once you have your character made, act the way the character would in his or her world. When role=playing you want to stick to what the character would be thinking at that time, what would he be saying at the time, just essentially being the character.
Meta-gaming: Meta-gaming is the act of taking out of character context and putting it into character. For instance fighting in a dwarven battle and singing the misty mountain song from J.R.R Tolkien’s the Hobbit. Anything out of the characters world and bringing it into the world would be meta-gaming.
Power-emoting: Power-emoting is the act of giving your opponent or the other player time to react. For instance lets say I come across orcs and I don’t like them, so I pick up a stone and chuck it at his head. That’s power-emoting. What Brome should of done is attempted to throw the rock at the orcs head so that the Orc can finish the act.

Current Age: 76

Brome is a fairly tall old Halfling, standing at four feet, two inches, that was because his father was a tall Halfling and his mother a tall dwarf. Brome never really knew his parents, because brome never cared to talk to them. He was always was busy chasing knights and warriors just outside lenfarthing.
Brome was a rare Halfling who was never was satisfied with farming and brewing things… he always wanted adventure. Brome always read old ancient texts, how he loved history and documentation. He loved the stories about Aengul and Daemon, and how the first of the humans was a grand fellow named Horen, how the dwarves had Urguan.
Brome loved running about the streets finding things interesting that he could write. Not many Halflings are unsatisfied with there homeland, But Brome sure was. Brome would run away from home bringing with him a bit of fish from his fathers catch, and of course his quill and a bit of crumbled paper so he could document his travels. Brome was and still is very young in heart. Nothing has damaged Bromes young heart. His parents died, but Brome was not close with his parents… nothing was wrong with his parents; Brome was just always traveling and going on adventures with Knights and squires.
Even at the age of 76 Brome documents battles and studies old ancient history. He is always admired as a scholar and a teacher of war. Brome has been in many battles… not for a fight, only for documentation. Brome never uses a sword his quill is his sword. Brome wants to move and live in Oren, where he can be close to the Knights and Squires and possibly if Brome works enough… potentially meeting the King, But for now Brome Continues his studies in Lenfarthing waiting for battles and events to Occur.
Ambitions for the Future:[/b] Brome wishes for a busy life working with Kings and soldiers documenting the arts of war. Brome also wishes for a nice house in Salvus were he can sit and write his long awaited book “The Civil War”. Brome created lots of documentation when he sat and watch the Tutons and Blackmonts battle off.
Personality:[/b] Brome is a friendly Halfling who loves people. Even though Brome works most of the time in his humble abode in Oren, he loves running out and watering his plants and talking to neighbors.
Skills:[/b] Brome is a skilled documenter… and he is a great farmer because of his strong Halfling roots. He sometimes likes walking into mines and documenting the dwarfs dig up iron… and maybe even brome will pick at the stone a couple times.

[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: As the cloaked man walks closer and closer to the Emperor palace brome takes out his small booklet and writes a short letter. “Dark cloaked figure look out”. Then Brome takes his bird out his pocket and hands the bird the letter, then swiftly sends it toward the guard. The guard then receives the note after a few short seconds. The guard then tackles the Cloaked figure destroying anything he was up to.
[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: Brome is no good with a sword and the forest is too thick to send a bird. So brome simply runs because there is nothing he can do, but he does map out where he is and then sends the map to some soldiers where they can investigate the cottage.
[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: Brome walks up to the stall. “Do you sir ‘ave any paper or book or… maybe a quill?” Brome says in a very thick regal accent. “Eh… well i moight?” The man says as he looks into his box of goods. “Ah good oi found it! Oive got a book and eh… a quill!” The man says as he searches the box. “That would be nice yes… eh lets say 5 minas?” Brome says as he scratches his head. “Ya kidding me? I’m thinking 8 minas” The man said puzzled. “Well sir dis quill is very blunt and seems to almost be broken… the book has scribbles in it and the pages are in rough condition. This should be 5 minas” Brome says very confidently. “Uh.. alright!” The man slams the coins onto the table. “Gud doin business with ye” Brome says as he walks away.

His mother, Elisha stayed at home with Markus and Cody and read them books telling about great stories and evil. At the age of 9 Cody ran away from home into the forest not wanting to be a farmer like his father.

Full Name: Leyun'ker (Beauty of Night) of Normandor
Current Age: 216
Sub-race (if any): Wood Elf and Dark Elf mix
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
The only child of a mother Acaele'yuln (Sky Gem) and of a father named Alikir, the young elf lived in a normal family setting. With the diversity of Normandor as her home, she learned early on about other cultures and races. However, her own diversity was occasionally shunned by the more conservative elves, considering her wood elf features were noticeably altered by the dark elf genes of her father. With orange-gold eyes and a darker skin tone than most wood elves, even the kind settlement held some who harbored distaste for her.
Growing up, she trained as a skilled archer and alchemist, making simple ailments and hair dyes. One day as she travelled through the forest searching for alchemical ingredients, she stumbled upon a small grove hidden by willows that seemed to whisper in the wind. In the middle of the grove a log laid, and taking a piece of the log with her, she used the wood to craft her first oaken charm, enchanted to calm the wearer. With this she took up the path as carver and alchemist, hoping to own a shop in the future and be the center of a town's alchemical needs.
However, the future clouded slightly when her mother passed away, having been snatched by a foreign disease swiftly. Her father slipped into his old ways, taking up his lockpicks and daggers when heading out to the road. Not wanting to get caught up in her father's crimes, she left home and departed alone. The craft of trickery still remained within her mind, and she left with the skills learned from her watchful eyes.
Ambitions for the Future: A humble wish; to settle somewhere in a small and welcoming village, setting up a shop of natural artifacts and alchemical supplies.
Personality: Although not openly trusting, she has a truly kind heart to those who are kind to her as well. She will do whatever she must to survive, for she has nothing left to lose but her own life. Native to the woodlands, she feels uncomfortable when there are no leafy branches to hide and rest in. She has a slight temper, but normally keeps it well under wraps so long as she doesn't have to converse with utter fools for too long.
Skills: Archery, Foraging/Gathering, Basic Building, Trickery, Alchemy, Farming (Carving is simply talk unless there's enchanting involved).
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): http://imgur.com/SIqJfzR OR
Dark brown, slightly ashen complexion, with golden eyes and dyed aqua-turquoise hair. She's 5'7" and has the thin frame that is common to elves. A golden chain lays across her neck, and she normally wears light leather gear.

____
[b]1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Uponinspection you realize that a group of older elves are mocking a small elven child. How do you react?[/b]
Answer: Leyun'ker examines the scene and frowns when realizing the child was crying over some scratches on his knee. Listening, she hears the older elves throw phrases like, "do you need us to carry you home?" and "watch for the brambles next time you go play adventurer" as they depart. Going to the child slowly, she asks what's wrong and then tends to the child, being very careful to let the child know what she's doing and making sure the young boy is okay. After spreading a light healing serum over the scars, Leyun'ker guides the child to a clear path back to town so he can return to his parents.
[b]2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. Hecollapses 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: For a moment, Leyun'ker stands there, surprised, and eyeing the gold. She could always use more of that. However, she kneels down beside the man and checks his vital signs. Guessing he passed out from exhaustion, she rests the man against a tree and gathers his gold, hoping he'll give her some compensation for her kindness. In a couple hours the man awakens, and Leyun'ker gives him some water and a small elixir to help him finish his short travel back to his village. Thankfully, she is given a coin for her good deed and continues on happily.
[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: As her eyes scan across the assorted wares, her eyes stop once she spies a rare ingredient; golden carrots. Knowing she'll not get another opportunity to purchase any of those in the future, so she tries her best to haggle for a lower price. "How much for 5 golden carrots, sir?"
"Two gold pieces per carrot, miss."
Leyun'ker didn't even have that much gold on her at the moment, but she had picked up a rare item last night after raiding an abandoned house. "How about four gold pieces and an ender eye?"
The trader rubbed his chin, scratching his sparse beard as he pondered the offer. "I'll take it, on account that you direct anyone you see on the road in my direction. You seem trustworthy anyways. Deal?"
With a smile she nodded, shaking the man's hand and exchanging the goods before going on her way. As she walked away, she heard the trader curse angrily. Well, he must have figured out that the ender eye was a fake. Good thing Leyun'ker was already walking swiftly through the thick woodland away from the road.

Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Eladriendil R'dar Thedaios
Current Age: Eladriendil is currently twenty-one years old.
Sub-race (if any): Eladriendil is not part of any Sub-race
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): As a child, Eladriendil grew up on the streets of Ager,as a boy he loved helping his father out at the wheat fields, tasting his mother's bread. Although as he grew older he hated living in the village and found sanctuary climbing trees and braving partway up the surrounding mountains. When the time had come that he was able to move away, he left the first chance he had gotten.
The wilderness was hard on young Eladriendil, but he managed. It was a cold foggy day when something he would have never expected occurred, a small band of orcs, or what he grew up calling "green monsters" were raiding a small caravan when they saw him walking along the roads. The chief of these Orc bandits had ordered to rob him as well. Feeling unwilling to be robbed, he took off into the forests alongside the path and had barely managed to climb up onto a tree. Unfortunately for him, one of the bandits had heard Eladriendil's small iron dagger clink in his pack, had looked up to find the young man residing in one of the oak trees. The orc pulled out his bow and removed an arrow from the quiver that lay on his back, started to pull back on the string. Eladriendil, unable to get down because of the growing numbers of orcs at the tree's base, accepted his fate. So, the orc let go of the string and sent the arrow soaring right into his eye socket, knocking him off of the tree and unconscious, onto the ground. Eladriendil awoke the next day covered in blood, with all of his personal items and gold gone.
Ambitions for the Future:[/b] Eladriendil hopes to become a well-known archer and perhaps even a guard for the emperor.
Personality:[/b] Eladriendil is a rather quiet man, who tries to keep mostly to himself. He enjoys the peace and serenity of walking along an old dirt path through the forest.
Skills:[/b] Eladriendil has slightly over-average skills in stealth, using a bow and arrow.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):[/b] http://imgur.com/parHXub,PbnS6Nu Eladriendil wears a blue bandanna which covers his mouth and mostly green clothing to blend in with his surroundings. He has one scarred eye and a ponytail tied off with a gold band.
Any other details you wish to share about your character:[/b] Eladriendil is a very fond lover of Elvish women.

____
[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: After a mildly-long glance at the strange figure, I take it upon myself to alert the guards of this. Knowing that if this character is not of bad nature, dire consequence would come from taking lethal actions toward them. I begin a rather fast walk to one of the guard and very lowly tell him, "That figure over there seems a bit shady, you should probably check it out", pointing my index finger to the strange black clothed person. The guard looks over to the figure, eyeing him suspiciously. After a quick second he signals another guard to help him deal with this possible threat.
[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: While walking along a path in a deep oak forest, I come across a large clearing and a small cobbled cottage. Upon further inspection I see an old man holding only a small iron blade, around him stands two heavily armed bandits who appear to be threatening the poor soul. Noticing how ill equipped I am compared to the bandits, I approach them slowly and peacefully, sheathing my longsword. Upon coming to the cabin I try to suggest a better solution to stop the threatening, "Excuse me, what seems to be the problem here" I ask them kindly. "None of yer buisness, move along" snarls the bandit to the right. "Now surely you have other things to do than to threaten a poor old defenseless man?" I ask him defensively. The bandit grunts, then sighs "Tell you what, if ye fork over two 'undred gold pieces, we'll leave this poor chum alone." He says this while reaching out his hand in my direction. I think to myself, two hundred gold pieces! Just for them to move along, Just before I say no my eyes dart over to the old man, barely even capable of holding the small iron knife that rests in his hands, the fear in his eyes, for he knows that it will all end here. Driven by guilt I pull out my gold pouch, shaking out all of the coins inside. I count two hundred worth and hand them over to the bandit, he smiles deviously, "Pleasure doin' buisness with 'cha!" he says as he walks away. With them out of the way, I walk over to the old man and say in a comforting tone, "You okay sir?". He looks up to me and grins from ear-to-ear,"Oh yes! Oh yes! Thank you oh kind sir! I thought for sure I would've died right there!". Although my coin purse is lighter, it's worth it to know that I saved that poor man's life today.
[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: While walking through the town I notice a rather small man trying to sell various items at his colourful looking stall. I approach the stall and almost instantly my eyes dart to a recurved bow near the back of his stall, quite interested in the item I ask, "How much for the bow my good man?". Happily he replies, "Only one hundred fifty gold, and I have a special offer in which you can get this finely made quiver and tenarrows for an extra sixty gold!" Dissapointed I ask him, "Two hundred and ten gold? Just for all of that?" A bit agitated the man replies, "Alright. Alright. How about fifteen more arrows along with that?" I smile slightly, "You've got yourself a deal!" The man jumps up and down with joy for half a minute then makes his way to the back and retrieves the items. As he is doing so, I pull out two hundred and ten gold from my coin pouch, just as I am done doing so, the man returns. "Here ye are! Two 'undred and ten gold please." I reach out my hand and drop the gold coins onto the counter of his stall, he passes over the items in which I sling onto my back. "Have a good day!" the man says as I leave his stall.

Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Togolit Took
Current Age: 1346
Sub-race (if any): Halfling
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):Togolit was born on a beautiful spring's morning, and as his older brother Reckan, his mother Gladia, his father Tockulus and his aunt Nonaleya gathered around him in his little crib, they knew everything was going to be all right.
Everything was in fact all right for the next few fifty or sixty years, then on a cold winter's night, a bolt of lightning sorrow struck!
The whole day, Togolit had been curled up in his little bed in his little room in his little hole, then there was a sudden knocking on the main door which grew louder and faster by the second. By the time Togolit had run halfway down the hall his brother was yelling his name. He had just opened the door when a whole group of halflings ran in, across the hallway and into the study. "What's going on?!" asked Togolit as he ran towards the study after quickly shutting the main door.
"By old Kip Took, there's no time Toggy!" yelled Reckan and slammed the study door shut.
Togolit stared at the door. Then he turned around and looked down the hallway, then back at the door feeling helpless. He sat on the bench by the study door and curled up into a little ball. There he lay the whole night, eyes wide open as he did not even dare to think what that blur of people was about. At some random times there were clattering noises, or a low short thud, but that was it.
Just as the sun was rising, the door creaked open and doctors and a few locals walked out of the room and out of the hole/house. Togolit didin't bother to close the door after them, he was about to enter the study when Reckan stepped out. "....It's just us Toggy...now and forever." He said with a look of pain and sorrow. They stepped out of the house and watched the sun rise in silence, making the land look absolutely beautiful. "Yeah," said Togolit putting his hands in his pockets, "But we can do it."
Reckan put his hands in his pocket as well and gave a quiet nod to himself, "Why not?"
The two brothers spent the next few months building a hole, and what a beautiful hole it was. Every single inch of wood was polished for at least an hour, because they would continuously chat while doing it. They would be building the house and things in it from morning to afternoon, and it was serious bonding time. It was a fine spring morning, similar to the one on which Togolit was born, that they took a step back and looked at the finished, humble home. They agreed that the first to be married would move into it. "It's the best thing I've ever built," said Reckan.
Already starting to run, Togolit laughed and said, "It's the only thing you've ever built!"
"Come here you! By Gimbolo I'll tickle you to death!" said Reckan chasing him, which was the start to a wonderful day.
About a century or two later, just like that, Reckan was married to one of the most beautiful and brightest halflings ever, and into the hole they moved. Almost immediatly, since he had so much free time now that he lived alone, Togolit started building a new hole, and he thought this was even better than the other one. He sold off the hole he was living in and moved into the new one. After doing so, he said to himself, "I need a vacation." and he set off to Branborough, but there were too many halflings there and within a few weeks time he returned to Dunwood. On the way, he met Petyr Brandybuck! And what an honor it was, but Petyr was in quite a hurry so he tipped his head, said "Adieu!" and rushed off.
If you do cross by Dunwood, do come meet Togolit, one of the merriest halflings you will ever meet!

[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 stall until the guards come. I walk up to him fast, then when I am within a few feet away from him, I act drunk and start to cause a scene with him as the centre of attraction. "Louis?!" I yell walking up to him and stumbling as if I am drunk. "What?" he says turning around. "Ey! It's good old louie! Listen up everybody! This man riiight" I close one eye and turn around and point at him, "'Ere! Was the idiot of our class in that thing! Er what was it called?" I walk up to him and tug on his shirt and yell, "What was it called eh louie?" I start to shake him, "What was it called? Ah right, school! Y'know what we learnt about in school?!" I straighten my jacket and slap him on the back and in a calm tone say, "Jail." the guards have reached and they take 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: "Hello!" I think to myself, "These are bandits they are!" I quickly climb up the nearest tree. Yes, I am armed, but I only fight when I need to. I carve out a large, thick piece of bark and throw it behind the cottage. "Ey!" yells one of the bandits, "Whazzat?"
"Y-you c-check!" says the other one.
The first one hesitates, but then stands sort of tall and says, "Y-ye, naturally..ha! Like I'm a-afraid! Ye!" he walks around the back of the cottage, by then I have come down and creep up behind the second one. I tap him on the shoulder, yell "Boo!" and whack him on the head with the pommel of my sword, knocking him out. The second one comes running around, but I slash him across the chest, duck under a swipe of his sword, come up and give him a nice hard blow in the face. I then make sure the old man is okay and tie them to a tree. Ah, just as I hoped, a man is crossing the path. "Ho, there!" I say, the man comes. I say to him, "This man was being assaulted by those two bandits over there, would you be so kind as to protect him in case there are any others until I fetch some authorities from Dunwood?"
"Oh, not a problem!" he says with a friendly smile, I know he isn't a bandit, I've seen him around Dunwood.
I then go and fetch authorities from Dunwood, and then go and relax at home.
[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall.

Answer: "Hello!" I say with a smile, "Have you got any elvish bread? I love it!"
"Aye!" he says, he bends down and comes back up with a big leaf which is folded up holding something, a lot of something. I assumed the something was the elvish bread.
"I'll give you...50"
"60!"
"55"
"62!"
"58, no further"
"60, no less."
I start to walk away, "58!" he says, "58!"
I smile, then adopt a neutral expression and turn around, "I'll take the whole stack."

She and my father met in Salvus one day and after a a while things got...well you get my point. So we traveled together to Kal'Azgoth and he raised me in our clan's hall with the help of my two uncles Zahrer and Kairn.
When I was about 6, and could hold a sword, I was trained in combat. My father set up a training dummy in the arena of the city and during some practices I was allowed to work along side the other legionnaires. “Sword up lad” “Keep at it” He would encourage me to practice day in and day out until I was up to speed with the grunts of the legion. I am now 21 years of age.

[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:The bridge creaks and groans under Drorn's weight as he slowly edges across. His pick, not very damaged, is held tightly in his hand. The ore glitters in the light of the torch placed on the other side of the ravine. A crack appears in the rock, followed by another and another. “NAE!!!” he shouts jumping
the last few feet. As he hits the edge the bridge behind him shifts one final time before sinking and then falling down into the ravine. Crashes of rock against rock sound from far below. To dark to see, the torch is the only light. He mines quickly, taking all the ore. He shoulders the ore and turns, almost walking off the edge. “e...” he mutters and shouts down the tunnel on the other side “Lads...'elp?!”.
[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: Zahrer sits next to Drorn, he takes the ale from the lad with a smile “Yer too young lad. Wait 'til yer oldeh”. “Uncle”. “Aye lad?”. Drorn points silently at the crying boy, then at the two dwarves walking towards him. The glint off the knife reflects in the firelight. “Oi” Zahrer says standing “Whut ye twu duin?”. They change direction for the new threat, Drorn's father, before stopping. The golden decorations of Zahrer's commander uniform shine brightly. This is what caught their eye. “Eh nothin sar. Jus'...umm...guin t' talk t' th' lad. Cheer 'im up” one says with a fake smile. He tries to hide the knife behind his back. “Wiut tha' knoife? Ye t'ink ah'm stupid?” he draws his sword, and the dwarrvish iron makes a slight hiss as it slides from the scabbard. The two look at each other as if weighing the risk. They turn to go and Zahrer turns back to Drorn “See lad ye don' even need t' foight sometoimes”. “Fatheh! Look out!” and the knife flew past Zahrer's face, NEARLY SHAVING HIS BEARD!!! “YE FAWKERS WANNA GU! LE'S GU!!!”. But they were no longer there. The only evidence of what happened was the brief flutter of a cloak running around a corner and the knife imbedded into the wall. “Drorn” “Aye Uncle?” “Why don' ye gu cheer th' lad up. Ah've gut some business t' attend t'” With that Drorn started talking to the young dwarf to cheer him up and Zahrer went to kill those who nearly cut his fine beard.
[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:The brewmaster of Kal'Azgoth walks quickly forward and hands Drorn the ale. “On th' 'ouse lad. Tesstin a few new brews an' thought ye moight beh a gud person t' 'ave test 'em”. Drorn looks down into the mug, the liquid fire swirling around and the deep smell of apples rises from the drink. “Well”Drorn thought “Moight as well”. The mug reaches his lips and the crisp taste of apples mixed with the alcohol penetrates his mind. Taking a deep swig Drorn smiles “This beh great” “T'ank ye lad”. The brewmaster turns around and heads back into the Kal'Azgoth tavern with the empty mug in hand. “I just had my first ale!” Drorn thinks as he goes off to tell his father.

Full Name: Jace Peak
Current Age: 24
Sub-race (if any): none
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
Jace Peak is commonly know as somewhat secretive but has a reputation for looking on the brighter side. He is reluctant to reveal information from his past, scowling when asked. He grew up within the mountain, untouched by the evils of civilization, in a camp of less than 15 including himself, his brother, and his father. I do not say mother for she died at an early age, him never really knowing much about her. His father often trained him in the martial ways of their people, and, although peaceful, he was instructed on how to kill from an early age. He was never close to his father, seeing him as instructor and not a parent.
One day the sky went dark with unknown magic, and the camp fell victim to attack by unknown forces, and upon this occurring, his father forced him and his brother into the forest telling them to run. He obeyed and survived in the unknown woods for years, relying on pure instinct for the survival of himself and his brother. They were separated though, and only reunited when Jace came upon civilization ragged from his travels and somewhat... off ...he suffers from mild anxiety and in the worst of times, gripping fear and depression, due to his extended stay in the forest. But now, after finally reuniting with his brother and finding salvation, he attempts to live a normal life, while his primal instincts still lay dormant...
Ambitions for the Future: As I've said before, he wishes to become ordinary as he can, however, he feels a deep urge to help others, and cannot deny that his instincts that kept him alive are still active.
Personality: He is quite broody, but always try's his best to provide humor to a situation, he is a walking contradiction, attempting to outweigh his base nature with the persona he wishes he could adapt.
Skills: Ability to survive, relying only on the land. Ability to be in touch with natural events (non-magical). And when desperately needed, the abilty to kill.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Any other details you wish to share about your character: Relatively normal, but visibly offset by the scar tissue that stretches across him and his ragged look from surviving alone. Pics;

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 older elves are mocking a small elven child. How do you react?
Answer: I attempt to intimidate the elves, without causing need for alarm among others, attempting a sly remark and displaying my self as powerful, a very primal fashion, but somewhat refined. Asserting dominance, but forcefully.
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: Reminding me of my own father, I would of course help him, if only on instinctual action alone. I would help him gather himself and offer to carry him to his destination, free of charge. Making sure he is settled into his new location, before adventuring off again.
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: I would most likely be straightforward with him, asking for the price I deem appropriate.
"I'll offer 5 pieces for that box of rations"
"Sorry, the price is 9 pieces, take it or leave it."
"Listen, I know that box is worth 4 pieces and I'm willing to pay 5, you will unlikely get someone who shows interest again. You know that you can take 5 and that's better than you may do otherwise. So the offer stands."
If he accepted I would make my purchase and say no more, if he denied, I would listen to his counter offer and Buy that if, say, 6 or 7. But otherwise leave, and say no more.

Full Name: Nefale Haer
Current Age: 36
Sub-race (if any): Wood elf
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Nefale was and never will be aware of who her parents were. But one thing for sure was that she was born alone with no siblings, which is pretty common for elves anyway. She was taken care of by random foster mothers each year. When she was a child, she never experienced true love of families and the bond between each other. She didn't allow her 'babysitters' to name her. Instead she named herself Nefale Haer, for what seems to be with no reason at all except that she liked the way it was pronounced. For her whole life, Nefale has lived quietly behind other people's backs, afraid that once she exposes her true inner personality, she will be ruined.
Once she turned 20, she refused to have someone take care of her. She wandered around alone in the forests of Anthos, sometimes she would go near Leumalin to listen to the Ancient History of Aegis so she knows about her race's origins and history. She was deeply fascinated about the part when Iblees touched evil to the land and it's people. She thinks to herself sometimes, 'I won't let any evil get to me, I'll be pure, just like everyone used to be when Iblees wasn't there yet.'
Nefale have always wanted a close friend, someone who she could trust and love. Whenever she had the opportunity to say hello, people would brush her off, simply because she didn't reveal herself enough. Nefale had big hopes and dreams: hopes of being pure and against evil, dreams of having a loyal friend and such. But as time passed, she began to think less and less of her ideas...
Ambitions for the Future: To find a friend that understands her and trusts her which she could do the same to.
Personality: Nefale is very self secure about herself, and is quite emotionally unstable. She have lots of respect for others, while having no respect for herself. She can get hurt quite easily. Her hidden inner personality have rarely -or more of never been seen by anyone.
Skills: Keeps her identity very well covered and can keep secrets for a long time or forever if necessary.

____
[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 older elves are mocking a small elven child. How do you react?[/b]
Answer: I would probably do something like this-
I started to stare at the older elves, my respect for others seemed to have vanished as I watched them mock the child. However, there was a whole group of them and just one of me... But, this was a chance to fight against 'evil', I can prove myself of some use. I hesitated a bit, but I have made up my mind. If I was the kid and I saw someone leaving without raising a finger to help, I would be furious. "H-hey, stop!" I said, then I repeated, this time a bit louder. "Stop!"
[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: I would do this-
I quickly gathered up the coins and shoved it into the piece of fabric that used to be a coin pouch. While I did this, I mumbled "oh no, did I do something? I'm so, so sorry. Won't happen again, are you okay? Here have this back..." I covered the hole in the coin pouch with my hand and attempted to hand it to the old man who was still lying there. "Oh, sorry. I'll umm... wait here till you recover." I said, not feeling comfortable with the thought of touching the old man to help him.
[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: I believe I would try haggle for a weapon first, just in case-
I glanced strangely at the man then took a look at the items in his carriage. "Hmm..." I mumbled, deep in thought. "Can I offer you 3 gold pieces for that stone knife?" I asked quietly, unsure if that was a good offer or not.
"No, 6 gold pieces is it, can't get lower than that."
"I've wasted my time then... unless 4 gold pieces will be enough." I said with a little bit more of an attitude.
"What about 5"
"4, please."
"No."
Without a reply, I headed off on my own way. "Fine, you scum of all scums, I won't offer you a single gold piece next time. I'll just ignore you the next time I meet you and... and.." I muttered to myself, annoyed.

Current Age: 24

Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Zarien was born Zarien Heinzreich to the parents of Adolf Heinzreich and Jocasta Heinzreich. He had one older brother, named Derick Heinzreich. However, soon after he was born, he was kidnaped by the Rhodirs, a clan of outcast Adunians. There, Zarien grew apart from the civil lifestyle of his brother, instead he grew into a tribal ‘savage’.

There, he was founded by Cloud Temple Monks, where they healed teenager Zarien and taught him many things. Zarien lived in the Temple for a few years, as he had no where left to go. Zarien slowly lost his tribal side, however, he did not fully lose it. He his still bloodthristy at times, and brings law into his own hands.
At the age of 19, Zarien decided to go explore the world, to find somewhere else he could call home. After exploring, he discovered he had an older brother named Derick, and Zarien has made it his goal to find him.

____
[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: Zarien was walking around the city notices the dark clothed man he thinks to himself ‘This man reeks of ill intent but what should I do I just have a book and my trusty dagger.’ Looking around he notices a few guards in the background that could stop the man, Zarien yells towards the guards “Guards! Guards! There is a man of suspicion heading towards our noble Emperor’s Palace” the guards look at me in intrigue “What makes you think he has ill intent?” one of the guards say Zarien responds “He is clothed in clothing darker than the night and on the side bulged a hidden sword” the guards nod to Zarien and start walking towards the dark clothed man. “Halt in the name of the Emperor!” one guard says the dark clothed man looks to the guards and begins to run down a dark alleyway with the guards in hot pursuit. Zarien did not follow them but a few days later there was a schedule execution for a man that look like the person he saw that day.
[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: Gulping at the sight of them, Zarien froze into place. He sees the two men, interrogating man, and stares for a good two minutes at them, hearing their rude remarks towards the grizzled, old man. The old man was shaking, almost sweating at the look of it. One of the bandits pulls out a sword and marches to the old man. The old man tries to steady his sword, but fails to stop shaking. This pushes Zarien over the edge, “Hey! Stop that” Zarien yells towards the two bandits, already regretting what he just did. Both look back towards him, and the closest to him snickers, “We got some want-to-be hero here!” The second one laughs, “Hey, Visgoth, this is our lucky day! Two in one bargain!” They both began to laugh hysterically, and this made Zarien pulls out his greatsword. “This kid thinks he’s all tough! Visgoth, handle him, and I’ll get the old geyser.” The bandit closest to him comes forward, pulling his mace out. “Sorry kid, lets just hope you have something good on you...” The bandit lunges forwards toward Zarien, only slightly away from hitting him. Zarien then tries to lunge back, only to get blocked and Zarien’s sword flown the other direction. The bandit laughs, kicking Zarien in the chest to the ground, still laughing. Zarien, now faced down on the ground, tries to get up, but is stepped on by the bandit on his back. “See, kid? Being hero ain’t so easy. You’ll be lucky to live if you beg now. Who knows? I sure do need a slave for...” The bandit rants on, as Zarien clenches dirt and a rock into his palm of his hand. Zarien quickly turns onto his back, knocking the bandit off of him and tripping backwards. Zarien then throws the rock and dirt towards the band, blinding him. “My eyes!” The bandit screams, as he drops his mace. Zarien quickly goes for it, then stands before the bandit, the bandit being unarmed. “Give me that back!” The bandit yells, itching his now red eyes. Zarien does not respond, but trusts towards the bandit’s head, shattering the skull. Now, with his shirt stained in blood, he looks towards the other bandit, who is a on top of the old man, yelling at him. The other bandit looks back, seeing his buddy dead, jumps up and runs towards Zarien. “I will kill you! I will ki-” He stops in mid sentence, as Zarien sees a small blade poking through the bandit’s chest. The bandit falls down onto the ground, bleeding out. The old man walks towards Zarien, weary looking and slouching. “Thanks kid... Want a drink?” Zarien, confused, responds, “I guess?”
[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colorful 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: Zarien sees the man and his store full of different items then he notices a book on the book it’s title is “Aegis: Before the Tide.” Zarien eyes opened, seeing this and thought ‘Yes! I have finally found it!’ he looks into his Minas pouch and sees he has only 50 Minas he looks to the books price and it is set to around 100-150 Minas ‘Blast well let see if he is willing to haggle.’ He begins to walk towards the man and, reaching his stall, calls to him, “Good sir I have a question on one of these books you have” the salesman walks towards Zarienand smiles “Aye? What be your question milord?” he asks. Zarien points towards the book and queries “That price is too high for my budget have you a heart to haggle for it?” The salesman laughs and nods saying, “By all means milord”. He then grabs the book and walks back to the counter and continues to talk “Now milord, this book is a relic from the old days. But since you seem like a good fellow I’ll lower the price to 75 Minas would that be a fair price?” Zarien shakes his head and asks “Is there any chance to lower it to 35 Minas and I’ll trade you my old book about the Undead of Aegis?” The salesman smiles “Milord that be a mighty fine trade ye be dealing there I say we have a deal!” they shake hands and hand each other the items in the deal “Have a pleasant day milord!” Zarien nods while smiling he finally got the book he was looking for.

Full Name: Bloom Witherstar
Current Age: 20
Sub-race (if any): Northern
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Bloom was born and raised in a very poor family. From a young age she was forced to fend for herself and her younger sister Raven. Her mother was deathly ill with the plague and soon passed away when Bloom was only 11 years old. Her father could not handle this untimely death of his beloved and soon abandoned the two girls in the filthy streets of Kingston far from home. There they wandered the streets for weeks, eating only when they were given small rations from generous citizens. Weeks turned to months and Raven's health was deteriorating from lack of nutrition, Bloom needed to find medicine fast before her dearest sister of only 9 years old withered away. She laid the small girl under a canopy that sheltered her from the rain and covered her with a ratty blanket. Bloom kissed Raven goodbye as she set off to find the only thing that will stop her pain: medicine.
It was cold, Bloom had left her only good jacket to cover Raven with. Her hair was turning to icicles and her whole body was soaking wet and sticking to her figure, she didn't have the strength to move forward. Suddenly everything turned black and....Bloom awoke under a bright light. She blinked furiously thrashing around and screaming her sister's name. The screaming was soon silenced when a tall, muscular figure slammed her hard on the head. 2 or 3 days later she was pulled out of a mysterious bed, she had no prior memory of getting here. The strangers, who she now knows as the Adunian Clan, forced her to undergo strict marksmanship training until they were confident that she was highly skilled with a bow. She was soon sent off to aid in raids of other clans.
Years passed and Bloom still wonders about her sister Raven. Is she alive? Probably not. But that thought never leaves her head, what if? What if Raven is still out there? She refuses to give up until she finds out what happened to her sister. It is her life goal to track her down, no matter what the consequences or truth that she is not sure she is ready to hear.
Ambitions for the Future:[/b] She wishes to find out what has become of her younger sister Raven.
Personality:[/b] Very over protective and passionate about others she has never met. Tends to be aggressive at times but always strives to keep her calm.

____
[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:
Bloom notices a suspicious looking man creeping towards the emperor's palace. She quickly looks around and notices a few guards within shouting distance if there is any trouble. She does not know what this man is up to and definitely does not want to cause alarm when it is unneeded. Bloom decides to carefully sneak behind the shrouded figure, mindful not to let him discover her following him. She becomes weary of this man and concludes that she is going to confront him about his actions and intents. Upon talking to him, only then does she decide whether or not to capture the guards attention.
[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:
Bloom eyes the men and calmly walks into hearing distance, she is hoping to overhear the confrontation between the two bandits and this elderly man. She is displeased by what she has heard and gets the bandits attention. She calmly asks the bandits why they are doing this and tries to get both sides of the story from each party. Once hearing both sides, only then does she choose either to attack the bandits or keep walking. She worries for the old man but only gives sympathy where sympathy is due. Bloom is very fair to others and only attacks when it is necessary, she does not want to make any foolish mistakes.
[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: "Hello mister, would you happen to be selling a high quality bow?" Salesman, "Why yes! I have everything you need and more. But please mam, I would really appreciate it if you haggled a price with me." Bloom eyes the man and a small smirk trickles across her face. "Why sir! That is an amazing deal and only a fool would pass such an opportunity up! Now, I am willing to spend 50 dollars on this fine bow of yours." The salesman looks at Bloom with bewilderment, "But lady, this bow was crafted by elves, I am disgusted by your offer of 50 dollars. I'll be willing to sell it to you for 80 and I want interest since you insulted my so badly." She eyes him longer and pauses before saying, "I will pay 65 dollars, no more, no less." The salesmen, "But I need to feed me children lady, come on, have a heart." Bloom's face relaxes and she starts to feel pity for the man, "Fine, I will pay you 80 for the bow but no interest will be involved, do we have a deal?" The salesman gets excited, "It's a deal miss

Full Name: Cediin Crope
Current Age: 22
Sub-race (if any): Southeron
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
Cediin grew up in a forgotten town called Plaves where there was always a cool breeze blowing through the wind as the settlement was located near a giant lake. Things usually went well in Plaves including things as building new houses, harvesting crops, and growing up as a healthy being. They had many celebrations for the good things that happened, and had feasts during the celebrations, which fed not only the young, matured, and aged, but the animals as well.
After one of many celebrations a few of the horses that they used to till the fields suddenly collapsed. No one understood what had happened to the horse, so a few people were trying to investigate the horse for any symptoms of previous diseases. They found nothing on the dead animal. While the people of Plaves worked and rested they all wondered what could have happened, and two days after the horse had collapsed they noticed all the horses and even the dogs have fallen dead too. The people have never seen anything like this before, and started to get worried. They tried to investigate the animals further to see if they could notice anything specific about them. The first horse that had fallen had been half-dissolved and lies in a puddle of dark purple blood.
No-one knew what to do about this situation, but they stated this as a new type of plague. They all decided to try to figure out a cure for the plague before any of the people would follow the fate of the animals. Then the night came, and the citizens that lived near the barns where the animals had died asked their neighbors for shelter because they didn't want to sleep near the plagued barn.
When morning came the town got together to discuss what was to be done, but then realized many haven't shown up. They searched the houses of those who hadn't come only to realize half of the village had been infected, and suffered the reacquiring fate. The people of Plaves all agreed that they needed to get out of that area, and take nothing with them as the objects maybe have the plague on them as well. So all started out of town, and many started to think that the the person walking next to them may have the plague. After many arguments over the fact that they should stay together in order to survive the wilderness everyone decided to take their own paths. However many husbands and their spouse took their young with them to help them survive. Many mid-teenagers and older, including Cediin Crope, took their own way in order to find a new start at life.
Ambitions for the Future:[/b] Get a well paying job as a Guard or Mercenary in order to help others unlike when Cediin wasn't able to in Plaves during the plague.
Personality:[/b] Kind, likes to help others, but has days where he gets frustrated and needs to relax.
Skills:[/b] Due to wondering for a new start in the wilderness he has learned to use weapons such as Sword and Bow.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):[/b] Black messy hair, dark brown eyes, fairly long but narrow face, built with more lower body strength than upper body.

[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 clearly shout to the guards to inform them of the stealthily figure that appeared to have been sneaking in the palace to either steal an item or kill a specific person. I would tell the guards to insure the safety of all possible and unaware townsfolk.
[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 run up to and shout at the bandits to leave the man alone, and walk back to where they came from. If the bandits resist my request then I would fight them off, and only killing if necessary.
[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall.

Answer: " * " symbol stands for what I say or do. "+" symbol stands for what he says or does.
*I clearly state that the items don't look of much value.
+He might say the items are in perfect condition and work as any top quality item sold anywhere else.
*If he wants my business he will accept a reasonably low offer for a quiver of arrows and a simple hunting bow because where ever he may have gotten the items from (especially illegally) I wouldn't want him to make much profit, and at least if the gear has a legal owner I will be able to simply give it to the owner.
+He says his items are legal and high quality and will sell for a little more then I offer.
*I mentioned that his stall didn't look like an average merchants stall, and if my offer won't be accepted I might point this stall out to the guards.
+He then says fine here's the gear now hand over the money.
*I say from how he responded to the threat of the guards I shouldn't accept the deal and ask the guards about him. -walks to get guards- and leaves the guards to deal with him.

1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of older elves are mocking a small elven child. How do you react?
Answer: Dae strolled through the forest, unafraid of the shadows as he gazed at the treetops. Suddenly, his ear twitched as he heard a faint noise, like whispering. Now curious, Dae turned in that direction and walked a short distance to find a few Elves teasing a smaller one. From behind a tree, he watched for a moment as the older Elves advanced the younger.
"How come you're so short, huh? You need to grow up some more, or else we will have to do it for you!" The other Elves started jeering as well, and the smaller trembled.
"I'm... I am not afraid of you!" He yelled.
"You know, it's not very safe to be out here without a matured Elf around," Dae stated, walking out into the open at last. The older Elves seemed to shrink back while the young one ran forwards and hid behind a tree. Hesitantly, the Elf that seemed to be the leader of this band walked forwards.
"Oh, we were just playing around with our friend over there. There's nothing to worry about in this forest, anyways. So can we get back to playing, please?"
Dae narrowed his eyes. "I'm not that thick. You have no right to bully anyone who is younger or shorter than you. How do you know what he's going to accomplish in life? How do you know if he is going to own this land one day- and own you?" He paused for a moment, letting the words sink into the leader. It seemed to work, as he hung his head slightly. Dae continued.
"If I or anyone else finds you are harming anyone again, you're going to be in some big trouble. I don't want that to happen to a young Elf like you, okay?" The leader nodded, and Dae did so as well, grinning. "Also, try not to get into trouble out of the town either."
After one moment of them both looking up and smiling, Dae turned around and took the youngest Elf back home, as he wanted.
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: Dae was once again walking, and noticed colorful leaves that fell to the ground. He also noticed... a shoe? Looking up, Dae realized that an old man was just passing by. He seemed to be struggling a bit, and that was confirmed as the man toppled off his cane right in front of Dae. A coin purse split open and hit the ground as he fell. "Oh! Are you okay?" In shock, Dae immediately helped the man up, and supported him while gathering the coins. He took out an extra bag and immediately shook the coins in, then set it down and made sure the man was completely stable again.
"Thank you, my friend," said the old man.
"Don't mention it. I also believe these are yours?" Dae picked up the coin bag he had put down, shut it tight, and handed it to the man.
The old man's eyes widened. "Why, yes! They are! I cannot thank you enough."
Dae shook his head. "It doesn't matter. You're headed to where I came from, I think? Would you mind if I walked with you? It would be nice company."
The man smiled and nodded. As they headed down the path, he also gave Dae one of the coins as a thank you. Which Dae promptly gave back after hugging him. (:P)
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: Dae was walking through yet another woodland area, when suddenly the trees opened up to a small clearing with a carriage and a trader. They shouted, "Hey! Do you think you might want something new to read? Then check out a few of my wares!"
Dae's thoughts were suddenly clouded as he remembered: He hadn't read anything in at least a month. Maybe something new was bound to come up. He walked over to the trader's colorful stand.
"Welcome!" They said happily. "We have some fairly rare books here, such as the Arethor Legacy, The Fall of The Sister City, or Cavern Dwarves Revisited." The second one about his home tread in Dae's thoughts.
"How much is The Fall of The Sister City?" "Only 15 Minas."
Dae rummaged about for his coin purse and counted his money. Only 16 Minas left... just over enough. However, he didn't want to spend all of his money on just one book. Dae looked up. "Hm... could I haggle for that price? Maybe 11 Minas?"
The man thought for a moment over the 4 lost Minas. "Well... I can tell you're going to be short if you buy this full-price, but it's cheap the way it is right now... But nobody seems to be interested except you, so we have a deal."
Dae smiled, handing the money to the man running the shop and receiving the book. "Thank you! Oh, and I also enjoy the colors you have for your shop. You should keep them." After a second thank you, this time from the trader, Dae turned and left to continue his walk.

Full Name: Brurid Ulren
Current Age: 29
Sub-race (if any): Northerner
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
Childhood: Born into a family of factory workers in the city of Aldersberg, Brurid developed an admiration for industry. The efficiency and beauty of a thousand men all working together to complete a single goal enthralled him from a young age. Naturally, as he grew older, he threw his helping hands into the fires of industry. This hard work engrained a mantra of always "getting things done" at any cost. This has long been the reputation that he has carried. If you need anything to be completed or "acquired" in the city of Aldersberg, Brurid is the man to get it done. Whether it be hard physical labor or something as simple as pest extermination, Brurid was the person to go to. However, three days after his 19th birthday, tragedy struck.
As stated before, Brurid's family were all factory workers. Meaning they worked hard and when they got home, with dirt and grime covering their bodies, they enjoyed a nice tall glass of ale from time to time. While Brurid was off chasing his latest womanly prospect, his family drank just a little too much. During that particular night, Brurid's sister, forgot to put out one of the candles before she passed out. The fire quickly spread from the wick to the curtains and within a few minutes, the entie house was ablaze. That following morning, after the flames had been put out by some nearby samaritans, Brurid learned what had become of his family.
Newly orphaned and with a house reduced to embers, Brurid had nowhere to sleep and no money in his pocket. The first year of this new life were the hardest on him. Sleeping on the street and doing whatever work he could find.The shock of all of his kin being engulfed in flame had destroyed his "can-do" attitude and he found himself in dire straits. At the age of 20, Brurid decided to leave Aldersberg for greener pastures. For the next five years, Brurid wandered the world, doing what he does best (Manual labor) and scraping by at whatever amount of minnas he could make.
Presently, Brurid is a mercenary that does any job that's given to him. He is quickwitted and strong thanks to his factory working experience and he is well known amongst his clients as a man that gets the job done at any cost. This "at-all-costs" attitude is what has led him to the moderate success that he sees today. Living on a barely-liveable amount of money in the city of Kingston.
Ambitions for the Future: To land a job big enough to retire on. No more fighting, killing, and hunting for random strangers who will give him money.
Personality: To many people, he is very quiet and cold. This trait just runs in his Northern blood. However, while many Northerners are just "thinking", Brurid is actually considering the costs and benefits of socializing with this person. Will they be able to provide him with money? Food? Shelter? If not, he has no use for them. He generally only befriends or opens up to people who he feels can provide him with something. He does, however, have a few very close friends. However, the status of his friendship is only met through some form of life debt or shield-brotherhood. Many of his close friends have either fought alongside him in battle or, in some cases, saved his life.
Skills:[/b] Trained and deadly mercenary, good with bows and swords. Years of physical labor have left him strong and as a result, he can hit hard. He is also cunning and decisive when there is a profit at stake. He is renowned amongst other mercenaries as the man who has the solution to everything. That is, of course, if this solution will result a successful contract. He is ruthless and will go to any length to complete his contracts.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):[/b]
Tall, pale skinned, orange hair with a long beard. And traditional Northern wear!

I consider my options. He could be a thief, murderer, or a darkly dressed farmer who tends to sulk around a lot. If he were the latter, I'd be thrown into the dungeon for assault. That would really set me back on retirement! No, I'll just wait here and if he does something bad, there surely would be a nice juicy bounty placed on his head. And that, I can get behind!
[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 am duty bound to defend the old man, of course. There is honor in this fight and I know for a fact that these men are bad. Unlike the darkly dressed man at the palace. I spring into action and dispatch the bandits very easily. Admist the action I take note of the man's belongings. Gold, especially. When the fighting is over I ask for my reward!
[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 see a very nice golden statue that would fetch me a pretty penny on the market. Instinct takes over and I spring into the old addage of "Buy low, sell high." I try to haggle him down to the lowest possible price of 100 minas. He denies this and I step back a second to consider my options. I give him a counter offer of 100g and any job he needs done. He tells me he has a rat problem in some of his wares and in about an hour I stop his infestation and walk off with a golden statue worth a huge sum of money acquired within an hour! This will definitely help towards my retirement.

Full Name: Darius Silverkin
Current Age: 29
Sub-race (if any):
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
Darius was born in the human capital of Abresi as the son of a lady of night, and a customer who skipped out on compensation for services rendered. As a ******* child, Darius couldn't find a craftsman to apprentice him, nor would the clergy provide him and his mother with aid, being the "sinful wretches" they be. Life was tough, but luckily Darius's mother was resourceful. In addition to selling herself, she was able to obtain uncommon goods for trade, some of which were gotten through less than legitimate channels. Darius received no formal education, but the items his mother sold often included books, which once he could read for himself, gave him some knowledge of the world, and sparked a curiosity.
At the age of 18, Darius joined the military forces in service of the Holy Oren Empire, he had a deep desire to help provide for himself and his mother, and to see the world, if his assignments would allow for it. After a year of training, Darius was a passable scout. For several years, his duties included that of subduing creatures of the night, and scouting out, land for human occupation. one day, at the age of 25 Darius was resting in the barracks when his commanding officer ordered him and the rest of his regiment to mount up, and ride out to a distamt village. When they arrived, the commanding officer stepped forward and issued a decree to the gathered townspeople.
"It is the will of his majesty, that all villages in human lands submit to the rule of the Holy Oren Empire. Despite numerous attempts, your village has not submitted to our rule, so we must force you into submission. Men! Gather everyone into the village into groups of ten!"
Despite a little trepidation, Darius followed his orders and gathered ten people, 5 men, 3 women, and 2 children, then proceeded to stand watch over them while the rest of the village was gathered. After all had been gathered, the commander walked over to the group Darius had assembled and addressed them.
"My own personal method for making this village submit, will be decimation." He held out ten thin metal rods in his left hand. "Whomever draws the shortest rod, shall be slain"
Eyes closed and hands shaking each of the townspeople in the small group grabbed a rod. Then one of the women shrieked. "Timothy! No!" one of the children, a little boy, began to cry. He held up the metal rod he grabbed. His was the shortest by a large margin.
In a cold manner, the commander said "Silverkin, if you would."
Darius raised his axe above his head and stared at the child below him. The boy had stopped crying, but tears were still steadily streaming down his face.
"Commander...Im sorry, I can't do this." he lowered his axe to his side.
"You dare defy an order? No matter, I will do this myself." the commander reached for his sword, raised it and swung in a diagonal swipe. Blood spurted, but not the child's. Darius had stepped in front of him, taking the blow himself in the left arm. The light armor he was wearing lessened the hit a bit, but it was still a wound that would leave him scarred nonetheless. With his right arm, Darius swung his axe into the arm of his commander, hitting the wrist and cleaving off the hand, blood once again was shed. "YOU will not do this either!"
After being subdued by his comrades, Darius was taken back to Abresi, where he was punished. Due to the fact that he too was injured, his attack was considered retaliation and thus he did not lose his hand for removing his commander's, but for hindering the operation at the village he underwent 100 lashes, which he still bears the scars of, and was discharged from the military forces. After giving most of the pay he had made in the military to his mother and saying his goodbyes, he left to wander the world.
Ambitions for the Future:[/b] Currently, Darius wishes to experience all he can in the world, and thus is prone to travel, but occasionally, he may stay in an area for a while.
Personality:[/b] Darius is a smart-ass and can be crude at times, but he has a strong sense of honor and loyalty. He usually keeps a pretty good attitude, years of military discipline didn't make him a complete hard-ass, but if times demand, he can be serious. Injustice angers him greatly.
Skills:[/b] axemanship, bartering (he was exposed to this as a child with his mother's business dealings. He is capable of doing it, but doesn't necessarily enjoy the process), taming (his time scouting wilderness lands, populated by animals gave him the opportunity to befriend some, leaving him with this skill)
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):[/b]Darius is of a large, muscular build, standing about 6 ft tall, his hair is long brown and often worn in a ponytail. He wears simple clothes, with the exception of his wolf-skin cloak, which he uses to conceal his identity if needed. He has a scar across his arm, where he was struck by a sword. Across his back are numerous scars, mementos of his lashing. (http://imgur.com/a/GssEk#0)
Any other details you wish to share about your character:[/b] Darius fights based on loyalties to people and his morals, not for his race or empire. He does not outright hate the Empire for the incident at the village, because he believes the method used there was the commander's doing, but he has a great distrust for the Empire, and politics in general.

[i]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.[/i]
____
[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: Darius follows the man, he has no love for the Emperor, but there is no telling what kind of repercussions an attempt on his life could create for the world, there would be a massive uproar. Darius slips through an alley onto a small backstreet paralleling the road that the figure is traveling. Quickly Darius dashes ahead to an alley that the man will pass. Sliding into position, Darius grabs the figure and pulls them into the alley as they pass, shoving them up against the wall.
"Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?" he whispers, trying not to draw attention.
Up close he can see the man's face, it is a young elf, who looks to be no older than 18. Startled the elf blurts,
"Y-y-your Emperor, the path he takes will be that of which your Empire took years ago. He is ambitious, surely he will attempt to take the lands of the other races! I cannot allow my kin to be overtaken by someone such as that."
"As far as I know, the Empire has made no moves to do so, though I wouldn't put it past the bastards. If such a thing happens, hell, I'd help you put a dagger in the man's back! But if you just go charging in and attempt to kill him, what will that bring? An elf attacking the leader of the "Holy" (Darius says this facetiously) Oren Empire? It would bring nations to war, only expediting that which you seek to avoid by killing the Emperor. Go home kid."
he lets the elf go, and walks away while the elf stands dumb founded by his words.
"Kid! Next time, keep better control of your weapon!" Darius yells back, tossing a small dagger to the side as he walks 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: Darius looks at the sword in his hand, "Well this is less than ideal, I would prefer to have an axe, but it looks like this is what I'll have to work with," he whispers to the forest wolf he had tamed earlier with the bones of an undead.
"Hey s! You guys lost?" Darius shouts while emerging from the treeline
"Shove off! We'll be with you in a minute, Meat!" one of the bandits retorts
"'Fraid I can't do that!" he charges, wolf by his side. "Watch my back, lil buddy."
He veers off towards the smaller of the two bandits, thinking it would be better to take him out first. Keeping momentum, Darius swings his sword into the bandit's, and then crashing into him toppling him over. Readjusting his grip on his sword, Darius steps onto the chestplate of the downed bandit, and drives his sword down into his throat.
From behind him, Darius hears a bark then a bloody roar, quickly turning he sees the larger of the two bandits, a beast of a man charging towards him axe in hand.
"Oh good, 'been needin' one of those," Darius says to himself. He maintains his position on top of the quickly dying bandit. The large bandit reaches him, with axe in both hands above his head, he swings down. Darius jumps from the axe's path, letting it cleave through the chestplate of the bandit's partner. "Here! I'll trade you!" Darius puts his right foot down on the axe that the large man is trying to remove from the armor, and drives his sword down into the bandits foot, pinning him to the ground. As the man roars in pain, Darius wrenches the axe from the armor, and jumps back, getting into a fighting stance.
With a wince, the large man removes the sword from his foot and charges again, yelling "You're dead!".
A howl comes from behind, and the wolf pounces on the man's back, and clamps down on his exposed neck. "Take my partner? I'll take yours!" he reaches behind himself and manages to grab the wolf by the tail, he rips it off himself and swings it down into the ground. The wolf yelps, and is then still.
Angered, Darius rushes the man, who drives the sword through his midsection, barely missing the spine. Fighting back shock, Darius takes a mighty swing, shouting, unsure if it's because of pain, or fury. The axe is buried into the man's neck. And with a thud, he falls onto his back, leaving the sword stuck in Darius's midsection. Darius hobbles over to his wolf and kneels down, checking on it. To his surprise he sees it breathing. With a snicker and a slight smile Darius looks up and asks the old man. "Heh, mind if we rest in your...home...a...bit" Darius passes out, falling to his side.
[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: Darius sighs, and looks into his pouch, only seeing 10 coins. "I'll give you 7 coins for 5 glass bottles, and 4 servings of salted beef, gotta carry water and eat somehow, right?."
"7 coins? I have to make a living you know! Make it 15." the man replies.
It wasn't too much to ask for, but still a bit steep for the products, that. and the fact the price wasn't in his range.
Darius responded, "I believe 7 coins is more than fair. This town is the center of the empire, and thus a center of trade. One would assume that the coastal towns could ship in a large amount of sand to be made into glass, such a surplus would make something as small as these bottles very inexpensive to obtain. And the beef? The stall over there is selling bows and a bundle of arrows for only 5 coins." Darius gestures to a hunting stall that he saw on his way into the market. "I could just buy a set there and get the meat myself!"
"Wait wait wait, I get your point, 10 coins and you have a deal." the man says exhaustedly.
With a smug look, Darius dumps his coins out onto the counter of the stall, letting the man know that was all he had. "Pleasure doing business with you," he says as he grabs his purchases.

Full Name: Raven Witherstar
Current Age: 18
Sub-race (if any): Wood Elf
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): I was adopted into a poor family, my mother died at an early age taken by the plague that swept the land and I was raised by my sister, Ariana. My father left us in the dirty streets of Kingston soon after my mother died. He was stricken by grief and couldn't handle us. My sister and I wandered the streets for months. After months of begging and pillaging houses for food, I fell ill. My sister set off to find me medicine and that was the last time we saw each other. A generous stranger found me lying in the streets, took me in and nurtured me back to health. I soon left his humble abode to start a life of my own, but not without his help. He gave me food and tools to help me on my way to find my sister, and my life. I found myself, again, in the same position as before my sister left. I was wondering the streets of Kingston when I found a tavern that displayed a wanted sign for work. It was a calling to me. I could get money and fund my search for my long lost sister.
9 years past from the last time I saw Ariana, and not a day goes by that I have not thought about her. I wonder what happened to her, if she is dead, or if she is alive somewhere out there in the vast land of Anthos. I have made good money from my job at the tavern in those days and have inherited it from the owners. I make good business, but it never seems enough. I struggle everyday, but I am happy, and that's all that matters.
Ambitions for the Future: To find out what happened to my sister Ariana, and if she is still alive.
Personality: Ambitious, protective, timid, does not like confrontation.
Skills: Bar tending, acrobatics, speed, agility.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Tall, natural silver hair, and purple eyes. http://imgur.com/F2tDkPl
Any other details you wish to share about your character: I am terribly shy and love all animals

____
1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of older elves are mocking a small elven child. How do you react?
Answer: I glance over at the scene and slowly make my way towards the group. I hide behind a tree and watch closely. I listen intently to what they are saying and gather my courage to confront them. I timidly step forward and say with a quiet voice, "Stop that right now." They glance over at my direction, clearly they hadn't seen me. "What did you say lil' girl?" I pause for a second, clearly embarrassed, and stutter, "N-nothing, sorry."
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 slowly, but steadily walk up to him and help him up. "Thank you, kind lady, I very much appreciate your well doings" he says gratefully. "No problem sir" I quietly reply, whilst picking up his gold coins and handing them to him. He walks away happily and I get a warm feeling in my chest, knowing that I helped someone in need.
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: "Hello good sir, I would very much like to look at your sword collection, please, I have been thinking of taking up swords play." He grins and shows me his fine selection of swords, varying from wood to diamond. "Which one would you like, missy?" he says as he gestures to his collection. "Oh, I would very much like the stone one, you see, I like to start out small." He smiles and asks, "What is your starting price?" I ponder for a second and declare, "I will pay 20 minas for it, if that is okay with you?" We stand there for a moment and he replies, "I'm afraid I cannot do that, miss, these swords go for at least 50 minas and that one in particular is worth about 55." I look at him, clearly disappointed and walk away because I do not want confrontation.

Answer: Markus sees a man dressed in black and he sees him about to slip by the guards. Markus notices hes withen shouting distance of the guards he decides to tell the guards at him. He yells " Hey guards theres a man dressed in black about to go inside the Palace." Markus notices that the guards were asleep and were jerked awake due to his yell. The figure turns around and Markus notices a bow and yells "He was a bow Help!!" He runs down the street being followed by the figure. Markus knows the figure was an assassin of some sort and he will be swifter than him. He decides that the best was to get away is to hide in the local taravan in which he blended in. The figure lost track of him and notices the guards chaseing him so he escapes into the shadows out running the heavly armed guards easily.

He yells " Your surrounded lay down you arms and this will be over with". The bandits say " Weres your men? I don't see any." Markus replys " There in the trees and ready to shoot if you do anything rash. Now lay down you arms and leave." The bandits decide that it wasn't worth being shot and maybe killed so they layed down there arms and gave up. He ran up to them and hit them both the bottom of his sword. He asks the Old Man " Are you alright?" The Old man replys " Now I am thanks to you and your clever tricks." Markus asks " How did you know it was a trick?" The Old Man replys " I would hear the rusling of the leaves." Markus nods it off and ties the bandits up with some spare rope in his backpack. He then brings them to the city and hands them over to the real guards who thank him.

Answer: Markus notices a bar of metal he needed for a project given to him by a noble. He asks "How much is that?" The man replys " How much are you willing to pay?" Markus answers " I'll give 5 minas." The man knows he's trying to get the best price possible says "I'll sell you it for 40 minas then we won't have to haggle." Markus trying to lower the price says " I don't mind haggling I'll pay 15 minas." The man set his lowest price at 20 so he says " I'll give it to you for 25 minas." Markus says " Lets split the difference and make it 20 minas." The man accepts the offer asking " Why do you need this metal bar anyway." Markus simmply replys " I own a metal shop in town and I needed thiss for an order.

When role=playing you want to stick to what the character would be thinking at that time, what would he be saying at the time, just essentially being the character.
Meta-gaming: Meta-gaming is the act of taking out of character context and putting it into character. For instance fighting in a dwarven battle and singing the misty mountain song from J.R.R Tolkien’s the Hobbit. Anything out of the characters world and bringing it into the world would be meta-gaming.
Power-emoting: Power-emoting is the act of giving your opponent or the other player time to react. For instance lets say I come across orcs and I don’t like them, so I pick up a stone and chuck it at his head. That’s power-emoting. What Brome should of done is attempted to throw the rock at the orcs head so that the Orc can finish the act.

____
[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: As the cloaked man walks closer and closer to the Emperor palace brome takes out his small booklet and writes a short letter. “Dark cloaked figure look out”. Then Brome takes his bird out his pocket and hands the bird the letter, then swiftly sends it toward the guard. The guard then receives the note after a few short seconds. The guard then tackles the Cloaked figure destroying anything he was up to.
[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: Brome is no good with a sword and the forest is too thick to send a bird. So brome simply runs because there is nothing he can do, but he does map out where he is and then sends the map to some soldiers where they can investigate the cottage.
[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: Brome walks up to the stall. “Do you sir ‘ave any paper or book or… maybe a quill?” Brome says in a very thick regal accent. “Eh… well i moight?” The man says as he looks into his box of goods. “Ah good oi found it! Oive got a book and eh… a quill!” The man says as he searches the box. “That would be nice yes… eh lets say 5 minas?” Brome says as he scratches his head. “Ya kidding me? I’m thinking 8 minas” The man said puzzled. “Well sir dis quill is very blunt and seems to almost be broken… the book has scribbles in it and the pages are in rough condition. This should be 5 minas” Brome says very confidently. “Uh.. alright!” The man slams the coins onto the table. “Gud doin business with ye” Brome says as he walks away.

Full Name: Leyun'ker (Beauty of Night) of Normandor
Current Age: 216
Sub-race (if any): Wood Elf and Dark Elf mix
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
The only child of a mother Acaele'yuln (Sky Gem) and of a father named Alikir, the young elf lived in a normal family setting. With the diversity of Normandor as her home, she learned early on about other cultures and races. However, her own diversity was occasionally shunned by the more conservative elves, considering her wood elf features were noticeably altered by the dark elf genes of her father. With orange-gold eyes and a darker skin tone than most wood elves, even the kind settlement held some who harbored distaste for her.
Growing up, she trained as a skilled archer and alchemist, making simple ailments and hair dyes. One day as she travelled through the forest searching for alchemical ingredients, she stumbled upon a small grove hidden by willows that seemed to whisper in the wind. In the middle of the grove a log laid, and taking a piece of the log with her, she used the wood to craft her first oaken charm, enchanted to calm the wearer. With this she took up the path as carver and alchemist, hoping to own a shop in the future and be the center of a town's alchemical needs.
However, the future clouded slightly when her mother passed away, having been snatched by a foreign disease swiftly. Her father slipped into his old ways, taking up his lockpicks and daggers when heading out to the road. Not wanting to get caught up in her father's crimes, she left home and departed alone. The craft of trickery still remained within her mind, and she left with the skills learned from her watchful eyes.
Ambitions for the Future: A humble wish; to settle somewhere in a small and welcoming village, setting up a shop of natural artifacts and alchemical supplies.
Personality: Although not openly trusting, she has a truly kind heart to those who are kind to her as well. She will do whatever she must to survive, for she has nothing left to lose but her own life. Native to the woodlands, she feels uncomfortable when there are no leafy branches to hide and rest in. She has a slight temper, but normally keeps it well under wraps so long as she doesn't have to converse with utter fools for too long.
Skills: Archery, Foraging/Gathering, Basic Building, Trickery, Alchemy, Farming (Carving is simply talk unless there's enchanting involved).
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): http://imgur.com/SIqJfzR OR
Dark brown, slightly ashen complexion, with golden eyes and dyed aqua-turquoise hair. She's 5'7" and has the thin frame that is common to elves. A golden chain lays across her neck, and she normally wears light leather gear.

____
[b]1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Uponinspection you realize that a group of older elves are mocking a small elven child. How do you react?[/b]
Answer: Leyun'ker examines the scene and frowns when realizing the child was crying over some scratches on his knee. Listening, she hears the older elves throw phrases like, "do you need us to carry you home?" and "watch for the brambles next time you go play adventurer" as they depart. Going to the child slowly, she asks what's wrong and then tends to the child, being very careful to let the child know what she's doing and making sure the young boy is okay. After spreading a light healing serum over the scars, Leyun'ker guides the child to a clear path back to town so he can return to his parents.
[b]2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. Hecollapses 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: For a moment, Leyun'ker stands there, surprised, and eyeing the gold. She could always use more of that. However, she kneels down beside the man and checks his vital signs. Guessing he passed out from exhaustion, she rests the man against a tree and gathers his gold, hoping he'll give her some compensation for her kindness. In a couple hours the man awakens, and Leyun'ker gives him some water and a small elixir to help him finish his short travel back to his village. Thankfully, she is given a coin for her good deed and continues on happily.
[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: As her eyes scan across the assorted wares, her eyes stop once she spies a rare ingredient; golden carrots. Knowing she'll not get another opportunity to purchase any of those in the future, so she tries her best to haggle for a lower price. "How much for 5 golden carrots, sir?"
"Two gold pieces per carrot, miss."
Leyun'ker didn't even have that much gold on her at the moment, but she had picked up a rare item last night after raiding an abandoned house. "How about four gold pieces and an ender eye?"
The trader rubbed his chin, scratching his sparse beard as he pondered the offer. "I'll take it, on account that you direct anyone you see on the road in my direction. You seem trustworthy anyways. Deal?"
With a smile she nodded, shaking the man's hand and exchanging the goods before going on her way. As she walked away, she heard the trader curse angrily. Well, he must have figured out that the ender eye was a fake. Good thing Leyun'ker was already walking swiftly through the thick woodland away from the road.
