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.):

When Bumble Bee was born his parents didn’t really think much of him, they wondered why he had been brought into this world. The idea for his name came from his obsession with bees, he just loved their colour and their movement. Bumble Bee lived the first part of his life in a tiny hut, not to far from Oren. Bumble Bee used to have blonde hair but it gradually changed its colour, to a dark brown, due to lack of sun from all the time he spent indoors. At the age of 4 Orlec, Bumble Bee’s father, tragically passed away of natural causes. Mary, his mother, was devastated. She now had no husband to keep herself and little Bumble Bee safe. After the family income to the family had died, along with Bumble Bee’s father, they had to find a new source of income. Mary began a small wheat farm in the small bit of land that they owned. Everyday she would go to the small market, about five miles away. But the daily walk was just too much for her and she tragically passed away as well, of general weakness, when Bumble Bee was 12. Fortunately Bumble Bee was smart and new how to take care of himself.

By the age of 16 Bumble Bee was a fit and healthy young boy. Bumble Bee had been carrying on with his mother’s wheat business. Although he was fitter and healthier than his mother so could manage the daily walk of five miles. At the age of 20 he decided to pack his bags and go on a journey. He walked far lands and met many people, some of them nicer than others. There was one particular time when he came across these bandits stealing money from people. He casually walked passed hoping not to attract attention but, unfortunately, he was stopped and was told to give up his money or his life. With all his courage and thanks to his fathers sword he managed to fight his way out of the mess he was in. unfortunately his father’s sword got damaged in the process of his escape and he had to give it up as he had no money to fix it. Now at the age of 22, with no supplies and no weapons he reaches the Cloud Temple of Asulon, he hopes to continue his journey.

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 would casually walk up to the unsuspecting warriors and ask politely what they are doing. I would say “I say, what are you fine chaps up to today”. With this slight compliment they would begin to trust me. With a few more compliments, such as: “surely men as great as yourselves can find something better to do” and “loving that helmet, is it new?” I would soon have them under the illusion that they can trust me. Once they have relaxed a bit I would wield my sword and, with the element of surprise, strike them down. I would then make sure the Halfling was alright

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?

I would politely walk up to the friendly merchants stock and ask what he has got. Depending on what he has for sale, I would start a conversation with him, such as: “I do like what you have done with the place” after gaining his trust and learning a bit about him I would, depending on if he had something I wanted, start to bargain for the item I wanted. However, if there was not an item that he had that I wanted I would then say “thank you for you time but I’m afraid there is nothing here that I really want. I will be back to browse some more.” I would then leave and come back again some other day.

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?:

If there was obvious signs that the small hut was really abandoned I would probably call out ,loudly, to see if anyone was around. If not, I would probably take the items and keep them for myself as the next person to come along would probably do the same. Seeing as the items would probably get taken anyway I would take them.

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

I would respond in a friendly way to gain their trust. I would then ask politely if they have any food I can buy/have. After purchasing/receiving some food I would ask If I could take shelter with them for a day or two. If they say no, I would ask where the nearest town or city is.

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 would heroically offer my services in anyway possible. I would then offer my advice to them, I would say “we should hide our armour and weapons under baggy clothes, we should then casually walk passed the bandits. If we are stopped by the bandits we would look innocent and harmless and tell them we are just passing through and, with the element of surprise, attack. If we are not stopped then we shall walk casually passed them and as soon as they have taken their eyes of us, we shall turn around and attack them with the element of surprise.” I would then tell them I do not need a reward, being helpful is a reward enough.
