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

Foronir grew up in a cottage with his Mother and Father in the forests outside of Elandriel, anxiously waiting for the day his Pa judged him old enough to handle a bow. Foronir’s father was a woodsman by trade but a hunter by night, always preferring to hunt by moonlight. His Mother was an average Apothecary who generated most of the coin needed for the small families needs. Needless to say, the small family was happy.

When Foronir was seven years old his Father came to him late in the day; handed him a bow, quiver filled with arrows, a finely tempered iron dagger and told him to follow. That night as they were stalking through the undergrowth they spotted a deer, which was quickly felled, bled and butchered (although roughly). After this they headed back to their cottage. Dragging the deer was tough for the young elf who continually kept dragging his end of the carcass. They were just clearing a ridge when they heard it, a long drawn out howl continued on by multiple others. His mouth went dry with fear.

”Run!” yelled his Father; and with that he sped off, his father fast on his heels. On and on he ran not daring to look back, he darted up a ridge and barely had a thought of recognition before he tumbled down into a steep ravine; hitting his head on a rock and knocking himself unconscious. When he awoke he was in a small tent and could hear others outside. He got onto his knees and crawled out of the hide shelter to see the men who found him. Tall, stocky, clad in iron armor scars dotting their faces like the stars in a clear night’s sky. They were bandits, and Foronir presuming his father was dead continued with them; Looting, pillaging and even killing when necessary, his bow forever at his side. He was nine when he was first introduced to alcohol and by the age of twelve would pass out drunk nightly. Years passed by all the while living this pointless method of existence when at seventeen Foronir was captured by guards and spent seven years in prison for his many crimes. In the prison that became his home, needless to say, he had a hard time without alcohol but found that it was relatively hard to get for someone new in the prison. Eventually Foronir kicked his mead reliance and served his time peacefully. When he was released Foronir promised to never touch alcohol again and to make an honest living for himself. The next year was tough; Foronir travelled the countryside looking for work; but with little success. Late in Hearth Fire Foronir at the age of 25, walked through the gates of Elandriel and searched for a job of some sort. Eventually he started taking freelance jobs for merchants; guarding caravans and such. Years went by and Foronir was happy, accumulating enough coin for a small family he lived a lavish lifestyle, though one devoid of friends.

Your characters ambitions:

My character wishes to lead an average life; owning a house, having a family maybe dabble in politics in his old age.

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?

My character analysis’s the situation, equipped with only a bow and deeming the shot to risky to the elf he attempts to save, watches as the elf gets cut down. Later that night he follows them to where they set up camp, watching, anticipating, and waiting for them to fall asleep. The bandits are individually awakened with a blade at their throats and promptly tied up. The next day Foronir marches them onwards toward the nearest guard station

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?

“Hello, would you by any chance carry any arms capable of defending an elf as small as I, rather good surprise for the next set of bandits."

Other Information:

Foronir is an aspiring Fletcher, and enjoys cooking in his spare time.

Denied.

Work on grammar, punctuation and presentation (colour, bolding, etc.)

Your biography should have a little more information in his life before the bandits, such as his hobbies or personality. What exactly were they running from that night?

Your first open response question displays powergaming. Any bandits with half a brain would be keeping watch, and even if they were caught by surprise you would wake the other bandits when tying the first on up. Overall this was much too easy for your character.

Your second open response ends prematurely. You really need to continue this scenerio, including the shopkeeper's response and dialogue.
