Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):

Raynil is an Elf from Aegis who grew up in a poor household, he has always been on his own, it's all he's ever known. Around the age of 15, he decided to stumble into the local mine. He was mesmerized about what he saw. The way the mine, so far underground, was able to hold up everything above it, the way it was filled with so many different things, rather than the typical stone. As he looked around the mine he happened to find something different than anything he's seen before, it was shiny and poking out of a rock. He took a closer look at the strange shiny object, he had no idea what in the world it could have been! He stashed it in his pocket and sprinted through the woods to town, he ran to the nearest vendor and asked what it was he even had. The vendor told Raynil that he found a perfect Diamond, one of the best he's ever seen! When Raynil asked him how much he could get for the diamond, the vendor responded with 500 Minas. That was more than Raynil or his family has ever had. From that point on, Raynil then understood that for the rest of his years, he would explore the mines, digging for more and more exotic ores

Thirty years pass and Raynil is still mining in the same old abandoned mine, he feels at peace there, he has a cozy little home built out of stone right outside of the mine as well. One day while he is working in the mine he hears a strange sound, he follows the sound around some corridors that he has come to known very well and turns one last corner. He looks around the corner and looks down, a giant hole that he had never seen before has been created, he peers down the hole and see's roughly four mining Dwarves. All these years, he hasn't even realized that Dwarves also live here! How could he have been this naive to think the mine belonged to just him. He runs faster than he's ever ran before back to his house, he packs all of his belongings and heads for Laurelin.

He finally reaches Laurelin and finds the nearest Inn, he rented a room for the night and planed out his next moves. He ruled out going back to the mine, it's too dangerous now, he decided to buy some land about a day's walk from Laurelin, he looked in his bag realizing that he should be able to get enoug money from his jewels to, buy the land and buy a few tools that are necessary for the job.He found an old human prospecter, selling off some of his land, and Raynil decided he'd buy it. The next few days were spent building a small home on the land. Once it is done, he began on the mine, he took his first few swings at the hard rock realizing that some dynamite will be needed to start off the mine. He headed back to Laurelin and picked up the needed items for the explosives, he gets back and prepares the explosives with extra care, he decided to sleep and intends on using the explosives the next day. He wakes up the next morning, grabs the supplies and is on his way, he got to the mine, sets the charge and pushed the plunger, carving into the ground. He looked at the hole and smiled, and thought to himself that this is going to be a good life.

Seventy years pass and he has settled down at his nice home on his property, his mine is full of riches, Iron, Diamond, Lapis Lazuli, and countless other gems. By this point, Raynil is a healthy 115 year old, still in his prime, he is now about 6'7" and very muscular from working in the mines his whole life. Raynil was working in the mine one day when he decides to take a break. Whilst on his walk he hears a sound coming from the direction of his house, he sprints to his house only to watch as Dwarves are setting fire to his home! He shouts out in anger, screaming at a pitch that not even he had heard before! He runs to the nearest village pleading for help, but no one would even attempt to help him or listen to him. He returns to him home later that night to find everything had either been taken or destroyed, his life savings were gone, his dignity was gone, and his house was gone also. He solemnly walks to Laurelin and decides to start his life over again.

Your characters ambitions:

Out in the Wilds, your character comes across a small cottage. Outside, there appears to be an elf struggling combat with two bandits. What does your character do? Raynil would shout from a safe distance asking if the man needs assistance, if needed, he would run over to the bandits and would try to help the man.

Your character walks up to a shop in the middle of Al'Khazar. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer? Raynil would look at the man, walk over to him, and begin to converse with him about the supplies he needs
