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

When Arcturus and Tôrdae were young, their father would read them stories, of a mystical land to which Arcturus dreamed of, night after night.

Arcturus was a middle class elf, from a semi-wealthy background of hunters, the Bolthors. They kept their heads ducked for many years, throughout wars where they saw friends and distant family die, whilst they carried on hunting. It was the family job to hunt as once was commissioned by the leader of the village, Ignatius. But now Ignatius had changed his mind. With his brother Tôrdae, Arcturus went to a renowned war academy in the area, as Ignatius thought they had potential. At the academy they were taught archery, swordsmanship, reading and writing.

 

Tôrdae and Arcturus were opposites, and Tôrdae was the ‘better, braver’ one of the two, but not by far the clever one.

 

It was 156 years ago when Arcturus was 180 (He is now 336), and the Great War was upon them. No longer could the Bolthor family keep their heads ducked. Tôrdae and Arcturus had their chance. To prove their family were worthy fighters. Tôrdae joined and bayed for blood immediately. He quickly climbed the war ladder, a valiant fighter. Arcturus respected him, as did everyone else. Tôrdae was offered general but denied, to fight as a soldier side by side with Arcturus. They went on to fight alongside each other as the years passed on. And then, the final march came. The two brothers pushed on under Ignatius’ orders, before the rest of the Elven army.

Tôrdae wanted glory, and to be known and feared everywhere. They all pushed and were shot down, outnumbered 8 to 1. Fortunately Arcturus only took a wounding to the shoulder early on in the battle and had to flee unable to fight, but Tôrdae, nobody knows.

So Arcturus went in search of the mystical land that his father had told him about, all those years ago, Asulon.

 

Your characters ambitions:

To meet new friends, have new adventures and to explore and see the mystical land of Asulon.

 

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?

 

After Arcturus hears the fellow elf screaming “Help!” for dear life, he rushes to their assistance and confronts the bandits. He withdraws his weapon choice, a sword. The first bandit sprints toward him and he blocks the bandits sword attack and counter-acts it, leaving him injured, unable to fight, so the bandit flees. Then the second bandit fires an arrow at Arcturus which he dodges swiftfully. Arcturus sprints behind a tree, then sheathes his sword and pulls out his bow. He fires an arrow at the bandit just as he gets behind a tree and so the arrow misses. Arcturus swaps weapon and sprints at the bandit, sword in hand. The bandit blocks and knocks Arcturus back. Arcturus backs off, the bandit thinks he is wounded and jumps at him. Arcturus sees his opportunity and hits the bandit in the low in the stomach, killing him. He slices the elf free from the ropes that bound him and he takes him to the nearest village to get help. Arcturus leaves as soon as he knows the elf is safe, without a heros farewell.

 

Your character walks up to a shop in a quiet market. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer?

“Hello sir, please may I have some of your finest ...” He then makes sure he has an adequate amount of minas to buy the product(s) “Thank you, I am grateful for your assistance and the quality of the produce. I shall come here hereafter whenever I need … again.”  With a pleasant smile upon his face.

Denied

Notes:

Main reason I denied you was because your bio does not follow lore, we are all born in Asulon or Aegis if your born before the fall. Secondly you did not explain power gaming well enough the first part "Powergaming is using power or force without giving the other player(s) a fair chance." is good but the second "For example running up to somebody and killing/hitting them without warning for n o apparent reason." this is more bad RP a good example of power gameing is this " Arcturus sees his opportunity and hits the bandit in the low in the stomach, killing him." one can not simply give a low blow to kill someone.

I know that I'm grading this hard but personaly I can't stand peopel who power game.

please remember not to post until 48 hours after being denied.
