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.):

Vlad was a typical decedent of Horen, yes he was a regular human. No special traits given at birth, or received from his farmer parents which lived in Westfall. Throughout most of his life Vlad would help his parents with the farm by tending to the crops, and feeding the live stock. His parents farm grew wheat, and the live stock included a few pigs, 2 cows, and some chickens. Vlad had many brothers and sisters who helped on the farm as well, overall they were a nice bunch who took care of each other. There was Sarah a young lady with the spirit of twelve wolves. Getting her mad was the least of your problems. There was Tom a scrawny young lad with barely enough strength to work the fields. Lastly and finally there was Anne, and Ana the twins. They would typically enjoy to play pranks since figuring out which one did what was nearly impossible since they would often switch with each other to mess around with people. Eventually Vlad's mom started to punish them both for their pranks.

Aside from helping his parents on the farm, Vlad in his free time (when he was young) would grab a stick and beat the worn out scare crow in the field, or play pretend playing warrior with his siblings. Even though it wasn't much, he did developed how to properly hold a one handed sword with the sticks he used to play with as a kid. As Vlad matured he moved on from playing warrior to exterminating pests around the farm; he would either sneak up on them or sprint after them. using a crudely sharpened stick that represented a one handed sword. Vlad in his teens, would also go into town with his parents to help sell their goods, at this point Vlad was introduced to barging. His dad was the first to introduce Vlad to barging by making him watch how his dad acted during a sale. Vlad would sometimes managed to sneak a mina or two after his sales when his parents weren't looking. On his eighteenth birthday, Vlad got sick of living on his farm. A month before his twentieth birthday, Vlad finally saved up to buy himself a two handed sword and decided to set out into the world.

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?

He would walk by, and not get involved. He doesn't know who they are and what they are doing, so he doesn't want to get involved in a needless conflict.

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?

Vlad: Good day my good man, what are your specials?

Merchant: Iron swords, one for 50 minas.

Vlad: What? Really? They cost that much? I'll buy it if you take a few minas off it, my buddy can get me the same thing but at half the price. (pretty much he will be polite and if he sees something he wants, he will try to haggle it for less money.)

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?:

He would take only a quarter the items. (the rules say that in the wild you can only take 25% of the items)

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?

Vlad: Excuse me good sirs, I'm lost and starving. Can I get some food and directions, or at least point me to the nearest inn?

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?:

He would join in, since it would be a good chance to use his sword against some real opponents. "You've found another volunteer", is what he would say.

Denied.

Your definition of powergaming is still off.

You need to still work on your open response questions. We are looking for at least a good paragraph or more of storybook style roleplay responses.

Your biography needs more lore related material, and could use with some fleshing out. Your character is better than the last, but still very under-developed.

Your user name still makes me cringe, but you're somewhat going in the right direction. It'd help to look up some guides on making an application, found here:

http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/forum/147-application-guides/

You will be allowed to reapply in twenty four hours, if you have any questions regarding your application feel free to drop a message in my inbox.

Good luck!
