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.):

You look into a corner of a pub and you see a hooded man dressed in black, with an eye being covered by some old dusty bandages, the man looks at you and says with a faint smile. "So you want to hear a story? I was born and raised in a farm house, close to a massive forest where trees looked so colossal, I felt like a dwarf or an imp. I was raised with both my parents, we farmed, fished and even hunted for our food but we did not live an ordinary farm life oh no...we were a very special family...you see my dad had this cellar which contained secrets. Potions and writings that could challenge the gods themselves...Ah yes I remember...I was only 10 years old when my dad accidentally tested what was supposed to be a healing potion, and turned out to be corrosive...it burnt half of my face off...which is why I wear these bandages" The hooded man says while pointing at his bandages "The pain of that potion was almost unbearable...I learnt from my parents I had to since I was living with such Maniacs." The hooded man hides his bandages under the hood

"At the age of 14 my parents left me a letter saying "Dear Lan: You are now old enough to live on your own me and your dad have left to join this cult your dad keeps talking about. Don't be too worried about us. Love mom...to be honest, I have to say I was sort of releaved, but they were still my parents, I loved them. Father the man was crazy, really crazy but he was still my father I loved the bastard...and my mother oh my mother...so kind so nice even to deal with man like my dad...

I think it was all my fathers idea to leave, with my mother, and keep me here alone. Whatever they are up to I fear it might be no good to the kingdom. I knew it was not safe to be out here without my mom and dad, so I took the last potions from my dad and all his writing and I set off on my journey, perhaps to find my parents...maybe find new friends...maybe even become the best alchemist the world has ever seen. I just knew this wasn't the place I was supposed to be in. So I left that little farmhouse with as many supplies as I could. And started off on a new adventure.

I am really good at alchemy, thanks mostly to my fathers writing, I think he made it very clear so that it would be easy to understand. I keep these writings with me at all times since they are of grave importance.

I wish i had a good night sleep though...I get nightmares...oh yes...many of them I have tried everything to get rid of these nightmares, from Glistering melons to Fermented spider eyes, nothing has helped...I always see some hooded man, much like how I look right now, they seem to get closer to me to take something and then I wake up...I have not been able to have a good night of sleep in a while" The hooded man quiets for a little and he smiles wider this time. "When I talk I am really rude to people, I try to scar them that I am not happy nor am I a nice fellow...If someones says "Hi" I would respond "Piss off" is just who I am. Well essentially what am getting at is I am not really a nice guy, I cheat people, honestly I try not to injure or hurt anybody I still have a kind heart even if I seem mischievous most of the time.

The hooded man looks surprised and bursts into laughter "Hahahaha...you know my life story yet I have not told you my name or age...ah well i am 17 years old already a man grown and my name is Lan Snow but many call me Ice for my true love to winter despite being a Southeron."

What is your Character's ambitions?:

"Master alchemy for my father would have been so proud of me. I want to make poisons and potions that even the gods would shiver at the thought of. That is true goal. Swordsmanship has been something in my heart for a long time since when i was little i always wanted to be part of the royal guard. That dream of mine still has not been fulfilled which is why I still train with swords when I don't accompany my potions."

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):

"My favorite tool you ask? Well that would have to be my potions of course bows do come in quite handy when I run out of me potions. I personally enjoy weakness potions the best...oh the way monsters and men get frustrated at the sight of me not even flinching at their all so "mighty" attacks it gives me joy in my heart. But there's also my strength potions making my swordsman skills much better ah...yes I remember the first time I fed one of the strength potions to this halfling and then he was able to stand a chance against me. Oh but speed potions so good for runaways or chasing those pesky chickens when THEY run away. I love all potions, honestly they are my life."

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?

"I am very good at alchemy...as you may already know of course. I make potions from weaknesses to incredible poisons that even giants fall to. I guess i got these potion brewing talents from my dad and my own practice of course. Though all of those writings he left me were quite helpful."

"I am also really good with swords...I remember when I was little I used to practice with my wooden sword, sometimes against this annoying cow...she always would beat me though. My mother teached me a lot about swords from how it was made to how you should block when a spider jumps on you.

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?

"Stop, leave the halfling alone" I say sharply. "What are you gonna do agains't the two of us kid?" Said one of the warriors trying to mock me. "If you interfere I will make sure my axe meets your skull." Said the other one. Quickly before a fight broke out I took out my weakness and slowness potions and threw them both at the men. One of them dodging it so i had to pull out my sword and defend myself. I hacked and slashed at this guy he always dodged or blocked my atacks so then I took out my strenght 2 potion and drank it quickly. The man got really close to me by then, and with one swing of my sword i slashed one of the mans leg. The man still trying to stand did one final atack at me and hurt my shoulder. The men struggle to move or strike me. Confident on my potions effects I talked to the halfling "Did they stealing money from you?" The halfling still in chock could not talk but nod. "Alright il take care of them for now and I will escort you back to town"

And then we went back to town where i gave him some food and money so he could stay in an Inn for some time.

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?

"Do you sell any alchemist ingredients? I heard here you have the best prices." I said in a cheerful voice.

"Nah. You may want to talk to tha' man ove' there."

"Thanks for your help"

I walked off to the other stand and talked to the man about the alchemist ingredients

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?:

I take the gold sword for I am really interested on how bright it is. It seems sharp but its weak and can easily break, still could defently be part of my sword collection. I think i will leave the iron bars here for I think I have done enough harm by just taking the gold sword. I thought to myself. I sit down on the cot of a dusty bed inside the hut and start sharpening my new gold sword. When nighttime came I put some of my potions to brew while I went to sleep.

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?

Please could you please give me something to eat. My feeble body cannot stand for much longer" I said to a man who had skin as pale as ice. "I shall give you some food, water and a map to get to the closest town, but it ain't free. It is 200 Midas kid."

"I don't have 200 Midas, can i work after I am rested and fed?"

"Fine"

After I ate and slept I got my stuff and ran away before they made me pay.

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?:

Since this village has been generous to me I feel i shouldn't run away. I asked the guard

"I can help. I have many potions that could help on the fight. This one in particular could take down a whole army on itself if thrown properly I suggest your careful with it."

The guard points and my sword and says "We need some more people who can hold steel properly, think you can help?"

The town has been really nice and I would hate it to be destroyed so i said "Of course, i am quite skilled with swords too."

The fight started. The potent poison was released before any of the men left. All of the bandits dodging the smoke of poison, some caught in it some left it and still attacked the guards as they got closer to the town. I took out more of the bandits when I threw even more. Swords colliding against each other, clanking, blood being spread out everywhere. I ended up with a lot of wounds, but it was worth it, I fought for what I believed in.

Not quite accepted.

I have a few qualms with your application, but they are so minor that they are almost irrelevant but they keep me from accepting you.

-Its minas not midas (the currency)

-We prefer you talk in more RP terms rather than minecraft terms. For example if you are going to refer to a strength II potion, say instead "Enhanced Strength Potion" or something like that. Just makes the RP flow more.

-You have a potion which is by far too powerful as seen here:

This one in particular could take down a whole army on itself if thrown properly I suggest your careful with it."

-Potions as of now I believe are not released yet to avoid abuse of the system. Although this does not limit you from RP making potions and using potions in RP combat.

All it not lost though :)

I have sent you a PM detailing my plan... Please respond as soon as you are able.
