In-Character:

Character Name: Oruin Garltuum

What Race are you?: Human

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race):

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.): Oruin Garltuum, now that is a tale truly sad indeed. He was born not 22 years ago to a local village mage and his mysterious wife who died during childbirth. For nine years his Father grieved over his mother but then he stopped. For the next 2 years he became very isolated, and the whole village feared his every move.After a few months he took a long trip to the mages Collage. When he returned he was however a different man altogether, he was dark and chaotic, he spurned Oruin to a point of absolute hatred of this father.

Then one day he found a diary belonging to his father, which spoke of bringing his mother back from the dead. When he found this he showed it to one of the village elders, having a sheltered life he had no idea what he had done. Then one night he looked out of his window and there outside were an angry mob of village people shouting words like ‘necromancer’ and ‘heretic’. Then his father ran into his room and simply said “Run, run, run, run my boy and don’t look back, I love you.”

So that’s what Oruin did and he lived in the wild for seven years where he found and befriended a lone wolf like himself. He has recently emerged from the wilderness and returned to the village which was no in ruins from an orc raid he gathered. When he can to the ruins of his old home he found just a huge pile of ash. Then he went to visit his mother’s grave, where he found a note with just four words on it, it read ‘Her name was Whitestorm’. Upon reading this he vowed that he would find his lost family and so went forth, with just his wits, his wolf and his mother’s name.

He has messy brown hair, and usually wears his battered leather armour. He has a very untrusting nature as he was betrayed by the village, also he is quite vengeful and loathing, as he brought about his father’s demise (or so he believes). His favourate food is bread as that was what kept him alive during his time in the wilderness.

What is your Character's ambitions?: His main ambition is to find his mother’s family, and his dark secret ambition is to bring back his mother and father. He also wants to train to become a better archer

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): His favorite tool is a hoe, as he used this to farm and stay alive in the wilderness.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? He is very adept with a bow as he taught himself to use one that he stole from the village, when he was young.

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

Other Information about your Character: He was taught some very minor healing spells by his father.

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? He watches the bandits robbing the small halfling with no remorse, he sighs to himself “Everything comes to an end in this world, even you little one”, he watches as the bandits taunt the Halfling and beat him. When they have looted his possessions worth anything the bandits leave. He then takes the Halflings body and buries it next to the road. He scrapes the date and the name that he found in the halflings cloths on the wall next to the grave.

“I am sorry but I do not know you and therefore pleasantries are pointless, I will have 25 arrows for this slab of prime beef please.” The merchant refuses so Oruin grabs him by the throat and the merchant gladly obliges giving him 30 arrows instead.

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?:

He first checks for signs of people living there, and when he finds none he takes everything from the chest and then torches the place so that it does not disrupt the wildlife and wolves of that area.

Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you in their common tongue, how do you respond?

Why did I deny you?

Powergaming/metagaming definitions were incorrect. We need to know that you know what they mean. Look around in TeamSpeak or the forums to diverge the true meanings of these in accordance to the server.

Your ORQs were pretty short, not detailed enough, and were not adequately roleplayed out. We need to know exactly what your character sees, thinks and feels in those situations, as if he were there right now.

Formatting could be prettier...
