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

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 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 battle for Azar (Elves against Humans) 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, a valiant fighter. Arcturus respected him, and so Tôrdae fought as a soldier side by side with Arcturus. They went on to fight alongside each other as the battle passed on. And then, the final push came. The two brothers and the rest of the small village pushed on under Ignatius’ orders, before the rest of the Elven soldiers.

Tôrdae wanted glory, and to be known 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 as for Tôrdae, Arcturus never saw him again.

Your characters ambitions:

To meet new friends, have new adventures and to earn an honest living.

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. "Let him go" Arcturus shouts at the bandits. "Or what?" The bandit replies. "I'll have to stop you" Arcturus shouts. The bandits laugh and shake their heads. Arcturus laughs with them and looks down. They look at him baffled. Arcturus looks up, face straight. He withdraws his weapon choice, a sword. The first bandit sprints toward him and he blocks the bandit’s 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, sheathes his sword and withdraws his bow too. The bandit sprints behind a tree as Arcturus fires, therefore hitting the tree. Arcturus puts away his bow and withdraws his sword. He hears rustling from the trees above and looks up. The bandit smiles and fires an arrow at Arcturus, he stumbles back and the bandit drops down. The bandit swaps to his sword and Arcturus looks up, he smiles. The bandit is puzzled. Arcturus points to the floor behind the bandit, and the bandit turns and looks at the floor to see an arrow. When the bandit turns back around Arcturus wounds him, but the bandit fights on. Arcturus again lunges at the bandit but the bandit blocks and punches Arcturus in the stomach winding him. Arcturus falls to the floor and the bandit looks over him and punches him again. The bandit laughs, face bloody, "Stop ME?" and goes to punch him once more. Arcturus blocks and hits the bandit with the sword and the bandit, wounded drops to the floor. Arcturus peers over him, "Stop you". Arcturus slices the elf free from the ropes that bound him. "Behind you!" shouts the elf, Arcturus swings his sword at the bandit and finishes him off. "Thanks" says Arcturus" "Likewise" said the elf. Arcturus takes him to the nearest village to get help, and he 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.

Work on your presentation (colour, bolding, etc.)

Out-Of-Character and In-Character are titles, not questions.

Expand on metagaming.

Your biography doesn't include your character's childhood, nor does it develop his personality.

Your second open response question is very bland, done a hundred times. Greet the shopkeeper, buy something, walk out. Try to at least express your character's personality in this.
