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

Varon was brought up by his parents. They were both blacksmiths, and he was expected to continue the family business. He loved his parents but they were constantly disappointed in him because all of his life he never showed any remarkable aptitude for anything. His parents tried to make him good at blacksmithing, but he could never remember the recipes or pound the metal right. They tried to teach him farming but he forgot to water the plants. They even tried to teach him enchanting but he got dizzy.

Finally one day a skeleton wandered onto their property. Varon killed it with ease even though he had never used a sword before, and was surprised because that was the first thing that he had been good at. His parents soon enlisted him in a school of the sword. One time when he was off in school his parents disappeared. He searched all over his city but he couldn't find them.

Varon took his sword and some bread with him when he left his hometown. He wandered around the world looking for his parents but he never has found them. He thinks that mobs raided the town when he was gone, as one other young elf's parents were missing. He is a brown-haired man with fair skin. He is not short but not tall. He is unremarkable in almost every way except for his striking blue eyes. He also carries his quiver on his back at all times because, as he found out later, he was also skilled with the bow.

After he had been wandering for some time he realized that he was slowly getting better at blacksmithing, even though he had shown no natural talent. He wants to open a blacksmith shop and follow in his parents' footsteps, because the memories of what they taught him are all that he has left of his parents.

Your characters ambitions:

He wishes to become skilled with the sword and bow, and open a blacksmithing shop to follow in his parent's footsteps.

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?

Varon yells, "Pick on someone your own size!" and draws his sword. The first bandit runs away bu the second bandit stays to fight. Varon parries the bandit's first blow and stabs him through the chest. He then has the other elf help him bury the body because he does not want to desecrate the land with a dead body.

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?

Varon says, "Do you have any swords in stock? It would be great if you had an iron sword."

Shopkeeper: "Why yes we do have an iron sword in stock, but that will be expensive, a full 150 minas."

Varon: "I'll take it." and hands over the minas for the sword.

My apologies, but your application was...

Why did I deny you?

Definition for Meta/Powergaming

Your definitions leant both ways, but definitely lent MORE towards the RPG styles of these nuisances. This is a roleplaying server, not an RPG. Different aspects and ideals apply.
