Open-Response-Questions[/

center]

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 first ask the guards what their business is with the halfling. I then work with the guards and the halfling to bring about a peaceful solution and an end to the conflict. If peace cannot be brought I unsheathe my sword to fight for the protection of the halfling even if it means death.

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?

First, I respond “Good Day” then ask him what he is selling if he is selling certain wares such as wool or spider eye I kindly decline, bidding him good day and leaving on my way. But if he has need supplies such as food, or coal I ask him his price and depending on that price either buy from him or decline to go find a better price.

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?:

I do not take them, in the event that they are someone’s and they just did not make it evident that they were still living in the house. It could also be a trap set for those who do try and steal the items, in which case I leave immediately.

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?

I greet them asking them what race conversation with them. I then ask them. Once I have gotten some food for directions to the nearest main city or Arethor that they come from and have a polite kindly if I can either trade or buy food from I ask where I was if they perchance knew and ask road and or the direction I could head for to get

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?:

I find the town guard to bravely offer my support to the town. I would do this for two reasons; 1. Bandits should not be stood for in any situation and they should be put down as fast a possible. 2. The citizens should have the right to peace and protection from such bandits. I do this to also show my loyalty to the citizens and show that I believe in freedom and justice.

Why did I deny you?

A skin was not apparent...

There was no skin in your application. We need to know what your character is going to look like, and if the skin fits RP properly. We need to know that it isn’t a superman skin or a HoneyDew skin. It has to fit roleplay and into the world of Asulon.

Your character did not have any flaws or weakness, or none were outlined...

People, things, animals, everything has a weakness. Quirks, flaws, you name it, everything has their kryptonite. Your character didn't seem to have this trait, these weaknesses,, and because of that, it would be unfair to allow him to interact with other people, due to the fact that roleplay with him would not be fun.
