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!" says Orodreth. "Leave the halfling alone!"...."Hah! You wish elf!" said one of the warriors. Orodreth charges at them but the other warrior blocks him with his shield and Orodreth was knocked harshly down to the ground. Orodreth was enraged! He was screaming at them, despite being on the ground. Finally one of the warriors said "We don't have time with you fool!" They leave both of them as they are both on the ground. "Thank-you!" said the injured halfling. "Ah, it was the least I could do. I couldn't let them do that to you." responds Orodreth. They both walk to the local doctor and get their injuries treated.

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? “Oh, ya' got 'anythin that can make me a nice' little dagger sheathe. Been lookin' for one of those for centuries! It's fine if ya got none' just been so anxious to get me' one o' those." "Lucky, you!" says the merchant! "I've got one left just for you! It's Orcish make!"...."Oh thank-you thy friendly 'merchant, I'll remember 'ya"

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?: The hut, stuffy smell, the roof dripping with rain, and the rotten wood floor creaking as Orodreth steps plank to plank. Out of the corner of his eye, he spots a hole under a dresser, which probably belonged to an Orc, the home it self being in a sandy region. He looked down the hole and saw there, a chest with a few iron bars, and a golden sword. Orodreth was pondering on what he was going to do. "I probably should wait a couple days, in case somebody still lives here, and comes back." thought Orodreth to himself. Two days later, nobody returns. Orodreth decides that he shall make off with only the two iron' bars, himself not being so good with them swords. He makes way back to his home, and then stores the bars in his chest.

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? "Got any Venison?" says Orodreth. "In fact, we do!" says one of the merchants. Orodreth was in joy! Venison being his favorite meat, he could never pass up on it. He gave the merchant 25 minas, with an extra 5 minas tip, for the merchants kind service. He salivating, ate the Venison bite by bite til' it was gone. "Ah, what a great meal" though Orodreth to himself. It was a long time since he had a decent meal so it was luxurious to him.

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?: “Hail men! I would' love to help but I have to be on my way! I've got to meet up wit an old friend from Krugmar!" said Orodreth. "Oh please! Help us just this once!" begged the guards. "Ah, okay if I must. Just this once though!" replied Orodreth. The men proceeded by flanking the bandits, but it backfired on them as they were being waited for in the trees above them. Just when the bandits were going to leap down on them, one of the guards heard a scuffling in the trees and they all retreated back. Orodreth told the bandits "Stop and turn around! Go back to where you came from! If you don't proceed by doing so, you will be assaulted." The men complied and headed back from where they came.

Why did I deny you?

Alright, you followed everything I said again, and for that I am thankful. I just noticed however that your elf speaks a fair bit like a dwarf. Your biography also doesn't have much character depth, try to add personality quirks and suchlike. Beef it up a bit.

Also, maybe improve your formatting so this is nicer to look at?

And give examples in your definitions to make them longer and help us understand that you understand how to roleplay, what metagaming is and what powergaming is.
