Biography (Please make this at least 2 paragraphs long. This must include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):

Dampiel was born in a small fishing town in the Kingdom of Oren. His father was a librarian and his mother a maid. He was meant to one day take over his father’s position as librarian in the small town. In order to face the challenges ahead of him, Dampiel was taught to read and write. Dampiel was shorter and weaker than the other Northener children and was often bullied. As a result, Dampiel often stayed inside and kept to his studies.

As he grew older he started helping his father out in the library and eventually became his clerk. Dampiel was quiet and often kept to himself. One day a great disaster struck the small town. The Undead had attacked and left the town in panic. Dampiel and his parents left town in a haste along with other townfolk to head South. Dampiel’s parents did not survive the war against the Undead. When the war ended Dampiel followed a group of woodcutters as they made their towards the Realm of Asulon.

He eventually settled with a few of them in the town of Westport and has lived there ever since. Now an aging man of 72 years, Dampiel works as the town librarian. He is often seen giving lectures and the chapel or translating ancient Aegis literature.

Dampiel is easily recognizable on the streets of Westport with his long white beard and cane. He is quiet and often keeps to himself, avoiding trouble at all costs. He wears a brown robe and has a tired look on his face.

What is your Character's ambitions?: To restore and preserve Asulon and Aegis literature and to educate the younger generation. To watch over the Westport library and guard it to the best of his ability.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Probably a hoe. Dampiel can use a hoe to cut bambo and make paper for his books. A hoe is also useful to Dampiel as a farming tool. Dampiel believes that a good old hoe is a very underrated tool that can be just as useful, if not more, as a sword.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? He is very wise and possesses a good amount of knowledge. Though he is old and fragile, he is powerful when it comes to knowledge and wisdom.

Open-Response-Questions

Whilst traveling from the Cloud Temple you see a small halfling, being harassed by two armed warriors. They appear to be trying to steal money from him, how does your character respond?

Dampiel stops and squints for a moment. Having bad vision, he tries to make out what’s going on. He eventually sees the man and the two warriors. He sneaks up behind an oak tree to hear the conversation. “Hand over the money, imp”, says one of the warriors. Dampiel starts knocking on the oak tree with his cane. The other warrior quickly turns around, “What was that?” Dampiel forms a shape with his wrinkly old hands and puts them to mouth, making an awkward sound. “There’s something lurking about in the woods. I don’t wanna stay here. Let’s head off.” The other warrior nods and they both set off on the road. When they can no longer be seen, Dampiel crawls out from behind thee tree and approaches the halfling. “You shouldn’t be out here all by yourself. Are you feeling okay?”. The halfling nods as Dampiel helps him up with his cane. Dampiel clears his throat, “Are you heading to the temple? So am I. Let’s keep company.” The pair sets off along the road, awaiting new adventures.

Your character wanders into Alras, and comes across a small stall, behind which a well dressed man is standing. He’s offering various wares, the merchant turns to you and says in a posh accent " 'ello there, what can I do you for today?" What is your character response?

Dampiel squints and looks at the merchant. “Greetings, young man. I’m looking for a book on Asulon cults. I don’t suppose you have it?”. The merchant scratches his cheek, “I barely have any books for sale. You might wanna check in the bookstore, it’s just down the road.” Dampiel nods, “Thank ye.” He wanders off to the bookstore.

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?:

Dampiel lifts his cane and pokes the goods with his cane. “Mhm, very fine wares.” He lights a fire inside the hut and sits down on a chair. He takes out a piece of bread, wrapped in brown cloth, and starts eating it. After enjoying a nice meal he takes another look in the chest. He closes the chest, “Best leave these goods to the rightful owner.” He exits the hut and continues down the road, dragging his cane along with him.

Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you you in the common tongue, how do you respond?

Upon seeing the camp, Dampiel falls to his knees in tiredness. A few of the traders quickly rush over to help him. They lead him over to a camp fire where they set him down on a chair. Dampiel struggles to regain his breath. He looks up at the men around him. “W-where am I?” The men look at him without saying anything. Dampiel reaches for his water flask and sips from it. He spends the night listening to the traders talk and tries to make out what they are saying. Tired after a long journey, Dampiel falls yawns and falls asleep. He wakes up in a tent, wrapped up in a pelt. Dampiel exits the tent and helps himself to some breakfast.

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?:

Dampiel is sitting in library as usual, translating old scrolls. When he hears noise outside the library he makes his way outside to see what’s going on. It’s the town guard rounding up people to help him eliminate a gang of bandits. Dampiel approaches the town guard with a worried look on his face, “How do ya plan to deal with these rogues?”. The town guard looks at Dampiel, “What do ya think, old man? We’re gonna bash their skulls in!”. Dampiel sighs and rests his weight on the cane, “Violence is not the right way. You should try to make peace with them.” The town guard bursts into laughter, “Make peace with ‘em? Haha. Let me deal with it MY way if you know what’s best for ya, old man.” Dampiel shakes his head and moves away from the crowd. “There’s nothing I can do about it I guess. I better continue with my translations.”
