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.):

In the beginning there was nothing but void, and a bright light which was a deity. This deity was the all knowing god. By god's will alone he created aegis and all of its beauty. However he created aegis as a theater for the inhabitants to be tested in. The first man was created out of clay, water, and god's breath, then put in the location of cloud ruler temple. Afterwards god made man's partner, woman out of the same materials. The couple had four sons, Malin father of the elves, Krug father of the orcs, Horen father of the humans, Urgaun father of the dwarves. How the four sons continued their lines is unknown and afterwards the first man and woman went into god's embrace. Through the emotional loss of their parents, the sons began to make civilizations. Malin and his sons where the first to create a language and started to name the environment in aegis. Urguan traveled underground and started to name all the ores and gems , while sharing them with his brothers. Krog went to the desert to test his strength and stamina. Horen started to build the first huts and villages. They all lived in peace for about one hundred years, until the day when Iblees defected and desired to destroy all that god had created. However this was part of what god had planned. Ibless started out as a spectre to corrupt the minds of the four descendants. Iblees promised lots of young to Malin. Iblees promised infinite gems and ores to Urguan. Iblees promise immortality to Horen. Lastly, Iblees tried to trick Krog with a promise, however he couldn't which started a fight between Krog and Iblees. Afterwards the other decedents joined in starting a thirty year war, with Iblees. Iblees summoned the dead to command him and the mortals fought back. They prayed to god, while the four sons growing apart and starting to hate each other. Malin hide in his forest sanctuary, Urguan hide under ground and horded his treasures, Krog hated his brothers for befriending this beast, and Horen was too young and inexperienced ruler and lead many of his people into ruin. But one day the prayers of the mortals was heard and Aengul and Daemons came to save the mortals from Iblees. The Aengul and Daemons chained Iblees, and sent him to the void where he would be tormented for all eternity. Iblees did corrupt each of the mortal races before he was banished. Malin's race with hard chances at an offspring, Krug's race with blood lust, Horen's race with short lives, and Urguan's race with greed.

Even with Iblees's defeat there were still the undead. Over time they manage to take over Aegis, and walk freely across it, making the lives of the mortal races very tragic. One day High Prince Native, beat down the undead Vardak outside of Laurelin. Afterwards Mogroka banished Vardark to the spirit world. Upon Vardark's banishment he exploded creating a crater with a portal to the undead city. The open portal provided the mortals with an offense to combat the undead. Hundreds of champions rushed in the portal with holy equipment. They fought hard to get Krog's axe and then to rush to the nexus to win the battle. Upon reaching the nexus the core was a lava pit, and in order to finish the taint one champion would have to sacrifice himself. That champion was Urir Ire'heart. Upon their victory the champions who returned were known as legends, and those who died were known as brave souls. One important character among those who returned was Blundermore. Blundermore had these pieces of a map from all the different races, and he put them together. The end result was a ancient portal, which he and the races rushed to build boats to sail through. Once the boats where complete, they prayed for good sail weather. Those who decided to stay behind and not go through the portal suffered Iblees coming back to Aegis. Year one, the boats made it through the portal, and thus begins the seeds of Vlad's story.

Vlad was a typical decedent of Horen, yes he was a regular human born in Asulon on year seventeen, and three years after the battle of the boot. No special traits given at birth, or received from his farmer parents which lived in Westport. 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. He left on year thirty-seven.

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. Note: I read up on halflings and how people see them as thieves due to their dwarf side, however it doesn't change my answer. Plus, they are agile and dexterous making it easy for them to run away, so they don't need Vlad's help.

Vlad: *walks quietly*, (while trying to keep a good distance between the warriors and himself).

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?:

Vlad: *quietly takes a peek to examine the items, and quietly walks away without taking any items.* (it is illegal to take items out of the chests in the wilds)

Vlad: *once he gets close to the entrance he checks around the corners to make sure that it's safe to leave*

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? (while his stomach is making noises from his hunger)

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 (while smiling with a big grin).
