Toldir was born to Garion and Turdiril, a couple who ran away from their village to live in the wilderness when they were young. Toldir was born into a log cabin far from any civilization, guided to live off the land by his father. Toldir was always hard working and responsible, someone who enjoys the simplest of things in life. When Toldir was young he would often climb above the treeline with his father to watch the sunset.

As Toldir grew older his parents grew ill, he adapted to perform most of the work at the residence. He provided for himself and his parents, developing a very strong work ethic. Toldir enjoyed practicing archery with bows he was taught to craft by his father, as a means for survival as they collected their own food. Several scars from working injuries can still be seen visibly on Toldir today. In his late teens his mother finally succumbed to her illness, passing away in her sleep, happy to have enjoyed her life and raise a wonderful son. Toldir buried his mother with his father by his side to give back to the land. Toldir continued to live with his father for several months as his fathers health deteriorated. One night Toldir walked back into the house after gathering wood and looked into his fathers eyes, hearing him say softly as he smiled, “It's time for me to be with your mother son.” Toldir took his father out of his bed and carrier him graciously up above the treeline to where they sat together when he was a child. Toldir held hands with his father as he faded away into the heavens while the sun set. The next day Toldir buried his father and set off in the hopes to find someone to live the rest of his life with.

Denied.

Expand upon your roleplaying definition.

Expand upon your metagaming definition.

Your powergaming definition is very unclear, however somewhat correct it feels like you need to add more to it to show that you FULLY understand the term.

Your biography does little to give me a clear depiction of your character, and you did include much lore related material. Please re-read the wiki page.

Expand upon your ambition.

Why is the long bow his favorite tool?

Your open response questions are far too short, please put more effort into giving a lengthy response to the roleplay scenarios we provide for you!

You will be allowed to reapply in twenty four hours, if you have any questions concerning your application feel free to drop a message in my inbox. Thank you for applying to Lord of the Craft.

Good luck!
