I have a habit of playing Dwarf(s)(ves) and have a good understanding of their mythology in both Tolkien, Norse and traditional fantasy settings. To me roleplaying is the chance to escape.

In your own Words, describe what Metagaming and Powergaming are: Metagaming is use by those who are less than serious about the RP side of games and may use knowledge that the character would not know or fit the setting of the game universe.

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): The family Azaghal have a long and proud past filled with warriors from wars long forgotten by man and smithies whos work fill the halls of kings...that is until their great grandfather Ulgar the Passionate fell in love with that which every member of his family loathed. The vile and weak elves

For along as history could remember the sneaky and tall elves had always come into conflict with the Azaghal family who had a particular distaste for those who were shy of combat and blunt words.

Such an act of kindness and eventual love between the Elves and one of the families own could never be forgiven so Ulgar and his first descendant were cast out from the family Hold in an act of involuntary repentance.

So it came to pass that Ulgar and his son Alston the Lonely (rumoured to be half elf) both lived and died in the humble cabin they had built on the outskirts of the Shady Woods.

Only now that Myrddin has felt his great grandfathers and grandfathers shame has finally fallen into the mists of time (or so he thinks, for dwarves are a race that do not easily forget a grudge) that he and his sons Telchar (One of the most talented blacksmiths dwarven kind has seen in a century) and Brynjolf (The carpenter. A rare but valuable profession amongst those that create their home underground) have finally set off for a Hold that they can once again make their home.

What awaits this family fellowship can only be discovered on the fields of Aegis but the bond of blood is a weapon only the foolish will challenge!

My character is Telchar who although young is the only member of the family who is folically challenged and although mocked by his older brother none can deny his skills with a hammer and forge. At only the tender age of 30 he has already crafted weapons fine enough to be wielded by the greatest of mankind’s kings but unfortunately as an outcast was not in the position to advertise or offer his skills to anyone more than the occasional passing adventurer and hunter.

Due to his upbringing he has a thirst for adventure usually unseen in his kind. This isn’t a bad thing when you can travel from town to town to tap into a fresh source of income! He is easily the most economically savvy member of the family. His family life usually consists of him coming up with elaborate schemes and his brother grounding him in reality while his father remainds silent, prehaps due to Telchars similarity to a younger version of himself. The real test of character will take place on the adventure ahead.

Although he has yet to face any real combat his weapon of choice is the mallet for it is a familiar tool in the hands of a blacksmith and great for repairing a helmet in a tight spot! His relationship with his father and brother are strong but as the youngest member of the family he is the subject of teasing although in the future there may not be as much time for such fun and games as Telchar is about to go through his biggest adventure to restore honour to a man he has never met but is joined to in blood.

Your characters ambitions: The chief Blacksmith of my Hold and perhaps the greatest known to Aegis.

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?

I would unfortunately feel obliged to help that pointy ear as they are usually unable to help themselves but I would make sure that him and his village would always owe me and my Hold for my act of kindness.

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?

“Help me? I am here to help you! I see various wares around your store of man and elf craftsmanship. Perhaps you would be more interested in the finer and considerably more desirable goods made by myself in the hottest of dwarven forges. If you will just allow me a moment of your time then I’m sure we can strike up a deal that would benefit the both of us.”
