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 relieved, 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 my entire father’s 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 due to my father’s 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. There is some talk about the Aegis Incident, but they are in a very strange language I think, maybe runes, I don't know. It could also be non-sence from a bored alchemist such as my dad.

I only wish to do nice things for this world. I may kill people such as bandits and such, but I always try to talk first. If the bandit attacks me, I would block and dodge for a while until the man has been deemed evil to me, then I unleash my real fighting skills and make sure the man does not live to see another day, since I would not like to see garbage like him on the face of the world.

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. " Hahaha...I have talked to you more than I talk normally, It must be all this Ale. I normally don't talk much I am always quiet and calm, If someone talks to me, I would try my hardest to be as polite as possible.

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. My dad preferred poisons but I hate poisons myself, I do not even know how to make them, granted. I still think they are pure evil, I only make potions that will help the weak and the poor such as healing potions unfortunetly healing potions don't work right away. You must give them some time, in the worst cases it almost takes a day for the effects to kick in, which is why i never drink them in a fight, My true goal is to rid the world of all diseases, it may take a lot of work and mistakes but I will make the ultimate elixir that shall heal every single disease known. Since I must know how to protect myself and those around me, I practice my swordsman skills, I train everyday and sometimes I spar against the guards so we both get better.

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

Since I would not call my potions a tool, It would have to be my steel sword, fancy little blade it is. This sword is as sharp as a dire-wolfs teeth, I sharpen it everyday you see, I treat my blade as I would treat my son, making sure it is ready for anything. Ahh my steel sword, its so magnificent, theres something really comforting about this sword, something that brings warmth to my heart when I wield her. But don't let my love for swords fool you, I am no maniac nor an assassin. On the contrary, I try to protect people from the mad and the evil. From using my potions to heal the weak, or fighting the evil foes myself.

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

"I am very good at alchemy...as you may already know of course. My fathers writings teached me a lot of this, even if they were mostly about poisons, Oh don't think just because it was a lot about poison it didn't help me, on the contrary this helped me make cures for all the poisons he listed, countering them.

"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.

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format):

I custom made this skin! Took quite a bit of work.

"I don't really like wealth, but I do try to get money for the world is almost all corrupted by these" Shows 1 minas to you. "I don't hate money for I need it if I want to survive."

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?

I approach closer to the scene and I put one hand on the hilt of my sword and I speak to the warriors. "Hello, my name is Lan, if you don't mind me asking. Why are you trying to take money from this Halfling?", "Why do you care?" says one of the warriors taking the halflings money and putting it in his pocket. "I think that belongs to the Halfling" I say in a calm voice. "You have not answered my partners quetion. Why do you care?", "I care, because this halfling is defenceless against you two brutes.", "We don't have time for you, we already have the halflings money." Says the man mocking me.I stay quiet trying to avoid fighting them. This time I grip my sword, just in case. Both men turn around and leave the scene. I talk to the Halfling "Did they hurt you?" I say in a comforting voice. "Gahhh...I can't..." I examine his body and I see the warriors stabbed him close to his stomach not quite reaching it. Quickly I take out my weakest but fastest reacting healing potion and make the Halfling drink it. "This will help you feel better. I will now bandage all your wounds", "Tha...nk you..." Says the Halfling trying to speak. I bandage the poor hurt man and then I help him back to town where I get him to an Inn so he can rest his wounds. I bring some food for him and leave some minas so he can pay for everything. "I must go now, are you feeling better?" I ask the Halfling. "Thanks to you...I feel much better. I think the potion is having some effects now." Says the Halfling "Here, I will also leave my best healing potion. This one will cure you completly but it takes a full day of you resting for it to be able to do its job, so please when you drink it make sure you get lots of rest" I tell the man with a warm smile. Then I leave and continue on with a big smile on my face for I have saved someones life.

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

The man gave me some glistering melons, I payed him accordingly and I kept on going around Alras to see if I could do some jobs for the people.

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, I leave my bow and all my arrows there in place of the gold sword. 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 sat 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 50 Midas kid."

"I don't have 50 Midas, can i work after I am rested and fed?"

"Fine"

When morning came about I got out of my bed and went to talk to the man that told me to work for him.I had to do a lot of jobs, from cleaning up all the trading camp to making food for the camp to even cleaning their clothes. I felt I worked more than I should have but that's how dept works. so I try to stay away from them from now on. For they were not very kind.

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?:

I walk up to the guard saying "Hi, I hear you have a bit of a bandit problem?", "Oh yes...we are recruiting some people to assist us in eliminating them, think you can hold steel right and help us?" Says the guard in a kind tone. "Of course, I will make sure they don't live to see another day.", "Good to hear. Its good that theres still kind hearts willing to fight for whats right", "I hear you have a reward, I want no part in it. I just want to make sure these men die." I say to the guard calmly. The guard astonished replies "Amazing. You truly have a honorable heart, we hope you can back those words up with steel.", "Will do."

I find some people to recruit and come with me, the hunt for these bandits was fairly succesful a lot of wounded, most the bandits died exept their leader which we captured and brought to the guards.

Before going anywhere I made sure that the people I recruited got their share of the money and I used all my money for ingredients for potions to heal the men. Keep them fed and hopefully somewhere to rest their heads.

After I left the town. The guard and me became friends and the whole town seemed really sad to see me go. But I knew I had to go, there are other towns and people who might need my help and so I said my goodbyes and left to continue on with my journey!
