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.):

I was born in the Kingdom of Salvus and learned how to use a bow from my father. At the age of 19 I joined a group of adventurers. After traveling with them for a while I learned how to survive in the wild and to use a sword. Later, I realized that they started robbing citizens from my own kingdom. I attempted to alert the town guard but the group of adventurers (now Bandits) captured me and tied me to a tree.

I was tied to the tree for about a day and a half when a dark skinned elf came by and released me. He said he would give me shelter and food in exchange for work. Having no were else to go I decided to follow the elf. He put me in a small room and gave me a bit of food, 15 minutes later he came back and told me it was time to pay off my debt to him. I worked for 20 days straight with little rest, when I tried to question the elf about when I would be done working he simply said soon.

After five more days of this, I encountered a man who was also working. After a very short conversation (the elves did not let us talk much) I realized that this work was little better then slavery. Since I had never tried to escape before the elf didn’t bother to lock my room door so that night I decided to sneak out. I got outside of the room without anyone noticing, then I walked down a dark hallway to a large open room. There were two elfves talking at the other side of the rooms I had to crouch down to avoid being seen. At the end of the open room I found a window that wasn’t barred shut. I jumped through and hit the ground four feet below but the sound of me falling alerted the elfs to my presence. I began to run through the forest and I could hear people shouting behind me. I ran for almost 2 hours until I could barely walk. I collapsed into the dirt and fell asleep.

The next day I awoke to see a group of merchants traveling on a nearby road. I stood up and felt A sharp pain in my leg. I must’ve hurt it while running last night. I limped over to the merchants and called out to them. They came over to me and I told them what had happened. I offered them money to help me but I realized that either the elves or the bandits had taken it all. They told me that they would help me anyway and I rode with them back to Salvus.

I am currently 26, about 4-5 years after this happened (I don’t remember exactly when I was captured).

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?

“I’m going to have to ask you to stop.”

Warriors: “Why should we?”

“I’m Sure I could find a few others nearby who would not like what you are doing.”

Warriors: “Fine, he can keep his money”

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?

“Id like to see what you have for sale, and perhaps make a trade”

Merchant: “I have some leather armor and some iron bars.”

“How much is the leather armor?”

Merchant: “Ill give you the full set for 720 Minas.”

“How about 680?”

Merchant: “700?”

“Deal, ill be sure to shop here again.”

Merchant: “Some here often enough and ill have a discount for you.”

“Ok, Thanks”

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?:

Gariviel would take both the gold bars and sword. He would then leave a note on the chest saying that he was taking them to the nearby town inn of Solace to give to the innkeeper for safekeeping. He would then check back in a few days to see if the items were retrieved. If not he’d go back to the house to make sure the note wasn’t moved.

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?

“Please help I’m starving, Ill pay any reasonable price for some food and temporary shelter”

Trader: “How do we know that we could trust you?”

“Do I look like I could betray you? Its hard enough just to stay standing. Take my money now if you want.”

Trader: “That wont be necessary, follow me and ill get you some food.”

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?:

Gariviel would offer his help to defeat the bandits. He had been attacked by a group of bandits and he doesn’t want it to happen to others. To make sure everyone survives the trip he would try to get a merchant to lend him and any others in the group some armor to help defeat the bandits.

Denied, but VERY close.

-First off, there are a few spelling errors, etc, but that's not the main reason for denial.

-ORQs need to be a bit longer, try rping a possible battle, and either make them all in-character or all in 3rd person.

-Bio is slightly unrealistic, you may want to also add more detail about your character growing up.
