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.): Gekin Strongbow was only 8 when he learned how to hunt. His father, Thenial Strongbow, knew that there is something special about him, he has the eye of an eagle, the steady hand of an archer, and the willpower of a lion. His mother, Natalien Strongbow, thinks that her son is handsome, with piercing hazel eyes, darkened sienna hair, and the cunning of a leopard. Born in the village of Ethip, Gekin has learned how to live with nature. Growing up, he didnt get to play with the toys that the other elves did, for he was not wealthy. He learned family virtues, and that you need to protect what you stand for. When he was 16, his town was invaded by the undead. Within the hour, Gekin had managed to save most of the village children, but there were more. He he put the children in a safe place, and darted for the school, only to find it crawling with undead. He shot his arrow, and slashed sword, but it was to no avail. As the undead swarmed him, he had but only one hope. To save the children, no matter what cost. Then with his battle-cry, he slashed through the crowd, punctured the tight-knit undead barrier, and saved the children. He alone pushed the undead out of his town. After the battle, he went to see the damage. Gekin, trying to salvage the remaining supplies, went to his house, or, what remained. As he searched, he did not find supplies, but only to find his father, crushed by a wooden beam, gasping for his last few breaths. When Gekin saw this, every feeling of pride from saving the children faded, only to be replaced with the subtle feeling of sorrow, for he knew this was the last time he would talk to his father. Thenial told his son to reach into his pocket, and Gekin did, only to find that he had something for him. His father was giving him his prized possesion, the saronite arrowhead he found as an archer in the Elven Army. As we find ourselves, 5 years later, Gekin has hardened. He broke through the shell of sorrow, and came out a man. Gekin, still nice and friendly, gained new emotions. He discovered what it really means to be hurt, but now he knows revenge. He dreams revenge, thinks revenge, and breathes revenge. He wants to return the pain done as a mere child. He want to slay the Undead Commander.

What is your Character's ambitions?: Gekin's main ambition is to slay to Undead Commander, to right the wrong. He would also like to find a place for him to permanently reside.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Gekin's favorite tool is the bow, for its range and power.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?: One of Gekin's best talents is his Bowmanship. He can hit a moving target from far away.

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

Other Information about your Character: Nothing.

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 always carries some sort of weapon on me, and in seeing this horrid event happening, I prepared my bow, aimed my arrow, and fired one arrow right above one of the warriors heads, causing them to panic, and run away.

Why did I deny you?

Your character would have experienced the move to Asulon, the destruction of Aegis. That would be included in his biography.

Your ORQs were extremely short. Remember, you can go anywhere with them.

Your definitions for metagaming and powergaming were incorrect. Include examples, and beef them up a bit.
