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 never lived a hard life, my parents kept me well fed and clothed, there was no violence, atleast that I saw. I have my 8 year old brother, who I find is just a bundle of happiness. Nothing gets him down no matter what, unlike me I have always been very bad at taking critiscm. I have never had any death in my family so far and thus my life has been a good one. My father would regularly teach me the art of archery, although my mind would drift to other things as I muched prefered an acrobatics of sorts. I would climb and jump all around in my mind until one dsy I decided to go out and try it for the first time. The first tries were enviatably failures but eventually, I became better and better until I had nearly mastered it. I had promised one day to teach my younger sibling. Untill one day my life changed completely.

I was 15 when I left my homeland. I was only young but had nearly passed out of childhood. I had been described as having my fathers long black hair, and my mothers strange purple eyes, although my personality takes after neither my father or my mother. I loved nature like any wood elf, I'm known to my friends as a shy and polite elf who never looks for a fight but if one would turn on me my enemy would be surprised. Even though I despised violence my father was determined to teach me some of his techniques as a guard.

I had heard the storys my father had told me as he put me to sleep. He told me of the brave champions who march into the Nether to halt the undead march, although I was not for violence these storys kept me awake with awe as I heard the epic tales.

The next day I woke to glorious news as I was shaken awake by a friendly voice "what is it brother?" I mumbled tiredly as I rubbed my eyes, and streched. "Guess what! guess what! guess what!" my brother yelled at me again, I couldnt take this anymore so asked the question "WHAT?" I spoke with a fake sense of enthusiasm, "THEIR READY!" Yelled my brother yet again, I rubbed my eyes and suddenly absorded his words "THE BOATS? their ready?" I spoke with a true sense of enthusiasm this time and was sat straight up. I saw my parents talking to each other as they gathered as many belongings as they were allowed.

"Have you got the?.." spoke my mum only to be cut off by my father "Yes" he said in a tired voice "and the..." my mother questioned again, only to be cut off a second time by my father "yes!" he said with a bit more spring in his voice. My mother and father popped their heads into my room as they suddenly realised that I was awake "Morning!" my mum said with a happy tone, almost sung as in a tune. "Morning mum, morning dad." I said with a also happy tone, "So have you heard about the boats then?" my father said with a growing smile as he grabbed the final bag and slung it onto his back. I stood up and ran other to my folded clothes quickly slippin them on, as i got dressed I asked "So when do we leave?" with a questioning look on my face, my father kept his smile as he said "Now." I stopped "now?" i questioned, a little fear push away the happiness as I realised I'm leaving my town, my home, my life. All left behind here over their it was a place for new adventures a new me. But I didnt want a new me.

After a small journey we arrived at the port containing the newly built ships. I could barely believe my eyes as i stared at the ships that would take me onto my new life. To Asulon.

On the journey to the new world I was awoke to hear my parents having a quite arguement a few steps away, backs turned away from me my curious side kicked in as I listened to there arguement. They were talking about our future mine and my brothers, I was curious as to why my parents had the sudden arguement about our future. I didnt understand as they talked about it my father wanted me to join up for the guard, if there was a guard and my mother wanted me to follower her footsteps into poetry. I couldnt bare the arguemnt anymore so I stood up in frustration and blerted out "It's my decision!" that was my first ever outburst towards anyone, the few elves nearby turned to look at me in shock aswell as my parents. Even my brother was sat up staring at me.

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? Dralex closely watches assesing the situation, and deciding if there is a small chance of winning a fight. If not he looks for the nearest guard to deal with the situation, again avoiding violence.

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?

He walks up to the merchant and greets him, he asks for what various wares the merchant might have. He asks if he has any food or books that might be of interest, the merchant replies and grabs a small collection of books in a box. He pushes the box to Draxel as he flicks through the collection one of the old books takes his interest, something to do with Aegis and the old war. He asks for the price and quickly pays without hast, walking off reading the book with much interest.

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?:

Dralex walks upto the nearby hut knocking on the door as he awaits for answer, if non is recieved he walks into the house and looks around. Once stumbled on the chest he takes a peak temptation calls but there is no answer as he walks away leaving the items their.

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?

As he walks nearer to the camp he approachs cautiously, assessing the personality of the small group. Once Dralex has approved them he kindly ask for some food and small shelter in return for a deed or some minras. If recieved he kindly thanks them and once again walks on, if denied he continues on his endless venture anyway.

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?:

Dralex, watches the few who decide to sign up and wait for who appears. if none of his close friends appear he slips straight away ignoring pleas continuing his disgust to fight.

Denied.

You say that you're not proud of your bio, but it's not bad.

-The one thing that needs to be fixed are the ORQs. They need to be longer, and feel free to control the other characters in the scenario.

-Just a suggestion, you may want to have an example of power and metagaming.
