Igneberr Chirrchul is a Elf in his early years at the age of 34. He is Wood Elf and has lived in the forest all of his life. His favorite thing to do would be to hunt. He loves the thrill of tracking down a fawn or following the trail of a wild turkey. If its not hunting it would be studying the plant life around him. Igneberr is a cheerful lad and loves to share stories with other travelers. Igneberr always had a problem when it came to valuables left out in the world. He would never steal from houses or anything of the such, but if there was something our on the road, out of place he wouldn’t bother to find the owner. He didn’t have any love in his life and lived away from the Main Cities, he never had any money to get luxury items. His house was a little tree house he made where he’s safe from wildlife. That where he spent most of his life.

When Igneberr was 12 years old he lived with his parents in a small house. The house was in a small clearing in the forest hidden from view of the road. One day Igneberr was chasing a rabbit near the edge of the clearing when he heard loud scream of his mother. He started running towards the direction of his mother. When he gets there he finds her dead on the ground. Above her is a undead beast covered in blood. Igneberr stands still in shock of seeing his mother dead. While he stands there the undead beast slowly goes forward to him. Out from the edge of the forest running with a bow in hand and a arrow already ready to fire is Igneburr’s father. He fires several arrows into the beast chest. The arrows don’t even make him twitch. Igneburr’s father quickly run and tackles the beast to the ground a tell Igneberr to run as fast as he can away from here. He sprints into the forest away from the chaos. Igneberr runs until he can’t run any father; he eventually finds a refugee group traveling along the road escaping the undead appearing all over the place and joins the group leaving his past behind. The journey was long, escaping Aegis was no easy task. He followed others in his escape as he was still a boy. He has the fortune to meet many king strangers on the way. Everybody traveled to “The Verge” were they waited until the boats were complete. They set sail to escape the corrupted lands of Aegis and found the new land of Asulon. In the few years that passed while traveling to the new land he did not let himself sulk for the death of his parents but did his best to help the other refugees in the new land, where they were finally safe….

Other Information about your Character:

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?

Igneberr wouldn’t start a upfront conflict, he would stay back and think of the best way to deal with these two guards. He would believe the best way to deal with this is find the one in charge. If they are told by a mere stranger it would change nothing but if the one that has authority over them said something about it there would be effect. He quickly finds the barracks and request to see the Captain and confronts him “I hope you know that two of your guards are attempting to steal Crom the people they’re suppose to protect”. The captain asks me where he spotted this foul deed and Igneberr quickly escorts him to the scene. While the two guards back are turned the Captain goes up behind them and lays his hand on both their shoulders and says in a loud “What do you think your doing”. This causes the two guards to stumble to the ground and the Halfling escapes. Igneberr leaves the scene with satisfaction.

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? Igneberr would say “Do you have any hunting supplies available to buy?”. The merchant replies “Well it be your day, I just got plenty of tools last weeks.” Igneberr looks at the wares and fine to his liking a finely crafted bow and a sharp knife used for skinning. Igneberr buys the two items then thanks the man and is off.

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?:

Igneberr is no fool, he suspects foul play with this scene and takes a rock and throws it inside before entering, after he reassures him self nothing is there to kill him he scouts out the hut. He looks around seeing if anything gives off a hint of recent inhabitance. When he finds that these valuables have no owner he gladly takes them for him self and sets off on his travels.

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

“Ye have any spare food that ye may be willing to share?” Asks Igneberr. One of the traders answers “We do but do ye have any money to pay for it?” Igneberr’s response is “I do not have any thing with me at the moment but can work off debt for any food, I could as a guard for you.” The man that responded first says “That would be a fine deal, one of our usual men couldn’t accompany us of this journey due to troubles with family.” After having a meal and sharing stories Igneberr travels with the caravan until they reach the next city and parts ways.

You hear word that bandits occupy the road outside the town in which you have been staying. The town guards 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?:

Igneberr find the town guard and ask him what he can do to help. He responds “None of our men have been able to get close enough to find out what supplies they have, I mean no offense but being a elf do you think you can get in and out without being spotted?” Igneberr reassures the guard “ I take no offense, I actually take it as a complement I would be happy to help this town fend off those greedy bastards”. Igneberr goes into the tavern he been staying in and takes his bow quiver. He follows the road for a while then heads into the forest to find the camp. He follows the road while still hidden by the forest. He goes until he hears the sound of multiple men talking. He stalks closer to the source of sound then climbs a tree to get a better view. He finds the camps well hidden from below but can easily been seen from above. The camp is very big but he able to count around 32 men, Igneberr thinks of a way to lower the moral of the bandits. He strings his bow and covers the tip of a arrow in alcohol. He then quickly lights that arrow on fire and shoots the arrow at the biggest tent and quickly runs away from the scene as hears the yelling of men. When he gets back to the town hes greeted by the Head Guard whos is happy to see him unharmed. Igneberr reports what he did and tells how many men the bandits had before the fire. The gaurds responds “I’m glad you could of done this for us, this could mean a bright victory for us.” The guards quickly tells his guards to assemble.The guard says “Men our friend here has managed to cause chaos to the bandits, it time to march out and strike while we have advantage.” Igneberr joins them and sticks with the other archers. When they get to the camp they find that many bandits are injured from the fire, from the looks of it Igneberr hit the tent that contained most of their Ale. The bandits surrender without fight causing a day of celebration at the town, Igneberr is invited.

Why did I deny you?

This was very good, although It had two issues...

Your ORQs were in future tense...

You answered your ORQs in the future tense. Your character is there right now, in that situation, and he is acting right now. There is no 'I would' there is 'Bob IS'. For he is there, and he is in that circumstance. You need to roleplay as you would on the server, as your character would. He is there, what is he doing? Is he running? Is he fighting? He does not get to plan ahead, there is no ‘would’ there is ‘is’ and ‘are’. Present, not future.

Your ambitions were off-kilter...

The ambitions you portrayed your character having were not mentioned in the biography and there were no supporting events, people or places that could have caused your character to aspire to those ambitions, to those dreams. Thus, this is not acceptable. A character that randomly has dreams and aspirations is not entirely authentic, and this could be used to powergame towards certain goals without events supporting it ingame.
