Character Name:Sa’Thrym

What is your Race?: Elf. Dark Elf.

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Sa’Thrym is a 145 year old Dark Elf. He is about 1.6m tall with deep blue skin and fair white hair. He is strong, but not buff and his boyish face makes him look younger than he actually is.

From the moment Sa’Thrym was born in Aegis, he was the pride and joy of his parents, who tragically died when he was 3 years old. He was naturally intelligent and athletic, but shy when around the other children in the village, for he lived in an Orc village. There was one particular young orc, Gomak was his name, who was obnoxious, arrogant and the leader of the gang of bullies in the village. This caused Sa’Thrym to be disliked and rejected by the rest of the village children, for fear of being left out along with him. He was bullied and taunted by the others and one of his only peaceful places was down by the river’s edge, training to accurately fire his bow and become a master of the sword.

The only other village child who would dare approach him was a young girl named Laela. She was also a reject like Sa’Thrym because of her pale/brown skin and bright green eyes. For she was a Wood Elf. But she dared not tell them for fear of even more ridicule. They had a natural connection and quickly fell in love. Then Gomak found out.

They were bullied endlessly and mercilessly. It became, that a army of his cronies swarmed around Sa’Thrym and Laela for hours on end. The only privacy they had was at the river’s edge together, where they slowly spent more and more time together. Then Gomak saw them one day from his hut and decided to mock and taunt them by himself, for he knew that neither would dare touch him. Or so he thought.

Sa’Thrym saw him approaching and tried to warn Laela, but it was too late. Gomak began to insult them with all he had. Sa’Thrym kept his chin high and tried to show no weakness and let his rage silently built up. But he snapped when Gomak hit and spat on Laela. He grabbed Gomak by the scruff of his collar and plunged him into the dark and cold waters of the river. Unknown to Sa’Thrym was that Gomak could no swim and began to drown. But Sa’Thrym thought that he was trying to trick them into coming into the river to save him.

The next day, Sa’Thrym awoke to angry shouts and hundreds of torches held aloft in front of his house. With horror he saw Laela’s hut already ablaze and Laela herself trapped in the flames! Sa’Thrym knew that Laela was doomed, but the fate of himself was up to whether he stood ground and fought the advancing mob with the only weapon in his possession, a useless wooden sword, or flee to the surrounding mountains.

He fled. To a dock where he had heard of giant boats headed for a new, unknown land. He had to sneak aboard and hide in the hull of the ship for the whole journey. Once there, in the new-found continent of Asulon, he found refuge in the Holy Princedom of Malinor. He remained there, in the capital, and hopes to find a new life.

Sa’Thrym is an intelligent elf who is slowly gaining confidence around others, and is loyal to those he trusts. But he will forever hate orcs for their race destroyed the only person he loved. He is mostly bright and happy but he has a dark side that has slowly been built up with grief and loss.

Your characters ambitions: Sa’Thrym hopes to find a group of friends that he can trust, and settle down with. He also wants to hone his skills with the sword and fully master it’s power. He is trying to erase the painful memories of his past, and a new life with new friends would be an incredible help.

 

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? Sa’Thrym would notch an arrow into his bow, aim towards the first bandit and shoot. Then, before the second can flee, Sa’Thrym would sprint in with his sword drawn and slay the final bandit in one swift flick of his wrist.

Sa’Thrym would then take the young elf to the nearest inn and pay the owner as much as needed to shelter and feed the elf and return him home.

 

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? “I heard that this was the place to buy the finest armor and weapons, with a practical price! I have come to see what you have to offer?”

“Why certainly young man, let’s see if we have anything that fits your price range”, reply’s the shop owner.

And on that thought, you and the shopkeeper disappear into the shop together, away from the pounding rain.

Half an hour later, they re-emerge from the shop, having a serious conversation.

“Your armor and weapons are the best I’ve seen in a long time”, Sa’Thrym states, “but your price range is far greater than I anticipated”.

“Quality comes with price”, jokes the shopkeeper, while silently cursing Sa’Thrym for wasting his time. “Remember to come back when you have a larger budget range!” And with that, he disappeared into the shop again and leaving Sa’Thrym outside in the pouring rain.

Your application is almost exactly the same as your last one, which shows you have not either understood or took the time to change your application accordingly.

Please read the feedback here: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/topic/41573-ghost-r1d3rs-application-1/

The imbed the screenshot of your skin. If you do not know how to do that, then follow this tutorial:

1.Go to the link you have provided (you have given an ample screenshot, so we shall skip the "Getting the image" and "Uploading it" phases) and right click on the image, select "Copy Image Location"

2.Go to your new application and select "Insert Image". It should have the icon of a little tree in a photoframe, and will be next to the "Inset Link" button, and underneath the "Text Color" button.

3.Paste into the textbox (as you have copied the image's location).

4.Select "Insert Image" and voilà! You are done.

And you have powergamed in your biography where you one shot a bandit with an arrow, and then kill the other with a "flick of your wrist". You also broke a server no "No-RP" killing rule, please re-read the rules and fix this accordingly.
