Eclipse is by nature very suspicious. IF the merchant was offering any interesting wares, he'd use his bargain skills to get a good price. Eclipse is trained in thieving, so he'd definatly know if he were about to be scammed. Otherwise he'd just ignore the merchant.

Whilst wandering in the wilds, your character comes across a small hut, which looks abandoned. Inside it you see a chest containing a few iron bars, and a golden sword. How would your character respond?:

Steal it. First examine the hut, to see if there were any sign of life or traps. Iron is a very useful tool for creating various sneaky tools that makes life easier for assassins. And the sword can be sold, to ear cssh for going to th elocal inn.

You hear word that bandits occupy the road outside the town in which you have been staying. The town guard have gathered, and are asking for assistance to help eliminate them. The leader of the party is offering a reward for any who offer their support. How does your character act on this information?:

Even though a thief, he still can't refuse the reward. Anytime there is gold involved he'd do anything to get it. So he'd use his assassination skills to kill the bandits, and then cash in the reward, to dissaper.

Why did I deny you?

You can't come into the server as a villian or an assassin. You need to fill out a VA for that. Rewrite your character so he isn't evil.
