Character Name: Targil Frayhawk (in Tolkien's Elven Language Targil means Highstar), son of Utinifalmor Frayhawk (In Tolkien's Elven Language Utinifalmor means Son of the waves)

What Race are you?: Elven

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): NONE

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.): Although Targil is an Elf he has a cultural mind of a human because he was born and brought up in Oren, the main human nation. Even though he had some friends whom were elven, he had always experienced human culture. As a child he was slightly detached from his human friends due to his differences in age and race. Due to his parents' social status, being very low, he never quite got to bond with the other elven kids. His parents had always said the same thing “we only have or buy what we need.” This ethic has been embedded in Targil’s mind, but is now slightly loosened due to his current financial situation, being better than his parents was, but he still carries that ethic throughout his life. Targil’s parents tried to encourage Targil to carry on his father’s farming legacy; however Targil being his stubborn self, decided to strive towards the new lifestyle he wanted and worked his way to the upper class of society.

Targil is a young elf who has blond hair, a small goatee, a strong posture, blue eyes and sharp, pointy ears.

Targil is assuming the role of a heroic protector who justifies decisions and applies them in a lawfully good way. He has got a natural talent for trading in farming industry as he knows many languages and farming has been in his blood for his whole life. Targil’s personality fits in perfectly with his roles; he has a strong posture and is an honest honorable person. Targil’s multi-lingual skill helps his trading as well as his heroic role in understanding the people and making them feel comfortable. His natural talent in archery also helps. But he is also a strong, determined and willful tactician who will often try to assume leadership. He has a lifetime ambition to become a part of an organization called the Rangers of the Forest. Although Targil is very determined he is also stubborn and doesn’t take peoples advice on many things, unless they are related to the topic he is discussing currently; this has caused both bad things and good things in his life. Targil has assumed this role because while he was only young and living in a farming village which specialized making wheat and sugar canes his village was attacked by Akuma, a fierce bloodthirsty bandit organization which threatens and raids villages and farms for fun and for money. They were then vigorously defeated by the rangers of the forest organization who had saved the village from total destruction, Targil has always since felt honor-bound to join the organization and help keep the roads and towns safe from destruction.

Targil shows a natural talent at archery and farming runs in his blood. He has not really achieved many awards in his life and has no other known relations other than his parents. In 1337 when King Sheffield was kidnapped by the undead and the city was left in ruins, the undead army marched ever-closer burning and destroying anything that stood in their way, the family believed it only inevitable that this was going to be the fall of Oren and with the undead arm just a few miles away from their farms, the family decided to leave. (Extract from Targil’s diary he has some spelling mistakes (he was only young) ) “we saw them, their soules faces, I wanted to fink it was a knightmare but the fums smelt reel the heet aganst my skin it was reel and there was no going bak our house was standing bravely aganst the pur might of the undead!”. They emigrated from Oren the new land of the undead into the Isle of Salvas to seek safe refuge. Here was the biggest farming and merchant industry in the world was based and also where Utinifalmor (Targil’s father) built up his farming legacy. They were much better off they now had a bow and arrow which Targil had learnt to love, a diamond hoe which made farming much easier and they had a two storey wooden house rather than a one storey mud house. When Targil came of age he left Salvas and pursued his dreams to find The Rangers of the Forest and join their cause. However the destruction of the whole of Aegis was near. Targil stopped searching and instead moved back to Salvas to look for his family but his family were gone and Targil was told they were killed by bandits.

Greiving for his family Targil realised he had to press on and moved to the latest discovery which was rumoured to allow them to escape Aegis it was called the Verge.

When he arrived he helped build a few boats needed for the journey. Soon he left Aegis and landed on Auslon where he traveled to the new Salvas with settlers and built the city up and ran his own farm in the memory of his father. Years past and eventually Targil once again set out in search for the Rangers determined he will find them starting with Malinor.

On his way he stopped by the temple the big marble walls stood high and as Targil entered he felt a warm welcome from the monks the monks gave him directions and offered to let Targil stay for as long as he likes…

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?: Targil boldly strolled up to these two warriors, "Is there a problem gentlemen".

"Be on your way elf".

The warriors eyed him nervously trying to keep their cool.

"Here take this sack of gold and be gone".

Targil punched the warriors arm away.

"I do not want your gold".

The warriors drew their swords "well then we will have your head".

sudddenly diamond armour appeared on Targil he brandished his gold shortsword.

The two warriors, dumbstruck, steped back in awe.

Nevertheless they attacked Tragil.

Targil evaded their attacks and met them with a flury of slices from his sword.

After the fight Targil attended to the halfling, who thanked him.

Targil left the hafling with good luck and a weeks supply of food.

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?": Targil greats him good day, "Good day to you, tis' a fine morning don't you think so."

"I'm Targil son of Utinifalmor Frayhawk. I am in search of the Rangers of the Forest".

The merchant leans over "well I don't think you'll find him here with your money all gone".

Targil checks his pouch, behind him a large amount of children run into the crowds and disappeaer.

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?: Targil looks around the hut cautiosly. Soon he finds a secret passageway behind a large painting he goes in and in front of him are invasion plans over the isle of salvas and weapons out spread all across the floor. Targil immediantly runs out of the hut, burns it and sets off to inform the Slavas council with the invasion plans as proof.

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? : Targil walks up to the person he thinks seems like the leader and says "good day I am Targil son of Utinifalmor Frayhawk I come for peace and hospitality. The Leader eyes are suddenly drawn to a sack of diamonds Targil is transporting. The Leader shouts in an alien language that Targil had never came across.

"Yes you may stay here Targil".

One of the villagers shows Targil to his room it is a nice cobblestone hut with a small bed.

Targil thanks the villager and then went to sleep...

Targil awoke to find his house on fire!

His chest which he kept his stuff in was empty.

Targil ran outside and hauled buckets of water at his house.

Suddenly he helt a cold diamond blade on his back he had been fooled.

He was pushed in a cell and held prisoner the cell was dark,cold and damp.

Targil tried to forge up a plan; he waited until some villagers opened the door to give him breakfast then he ran out of the cell grabed the flint and steel sitting on the table outside of his cell and set fire to the leaders house and made his escape.

Targil evaluated what he had done maybe it was dishonourable and he didn't have his diamonds but he realised that at least he came out alive.

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?: Targil says "I will gladely help fight off the bandits". but looking at the numbers of guards he soon realises they are heavily outnumbered.

He tells all the town's builders tro get to work taking down the broad bridge (the only enterance to the town) and instead creating a narrow walkway that moves in a zigzag fashion with lava underneath it meanwhile guards run to distract the bandits and allow the builders more time to work on the improvements. Targil places the archers ontop of the walls overlooking the walkway. News comes that the bandits are no longer distracted and are on their way Targil takes up his command post and gives a speach: "Today we will fight off the bandits that are terrorizing your village we will fight to survive and we will make a stand!!!".

The guards and crowd roars and the bandits come runing in at a faster oace than Targil expected. The battlecry queitened and the bandits started to cross the walkway one at a time the archers poured fire although these were weak arrows they pushed the bandits off the walkway and into the lava. Targil was commanding the archers and the leader was commanding the swordsmen who would cut down any bandits who would be able to get across the walkway. Suddenly this huge orcish bandit obviously was the leader appeared with bandits flanking all his sides. The bandit leader strolled across the walkway as if he was taking a walk in the park. The archers tried to pick him off but failed because he had a sheild of bandits around him. He broke through and swung his axe at the Leader of the town. (Mordikai was the bandit leaders name and Melnor was the town leaders name) Mordikai swiped at Melnor but Melnor managed to dodge the ferosious attack and hit Mordikai with his sword. Mordikai raged up in anger and brought the axe down on Melnor's head. Targil could only watch as his alley fell. Targil immediantly shot Mordikai with a diamond arrow and Mordikai died. As he died the bandits fled, they did not want to see anymore bloodshed.

Targil and the guards had won the battle.
