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.): Ivan was born in the City of Arathor, in the holy Oren Empire. He was born of the middle class, not rich, but not poor either. Growing up, Ivan was an unruly child. He constantly got into fights with other kids. Due to this, Ivan was an exceptional fighter, a bit careless though, which would prove to be a problem later in life. At the age of 15, fighting for Ivan was as common as sleeping and breathing. So it wasn't much of a surprise when Ivan found out he was handy with a sword. By the age of 18, Ivans father grew weary of Ivans constant fighting and sent him away to find his own future. Ivan wandered around Asulon aimlessly for months. Then, tired and lonely, He stumbled across a merchant's campsite.. He strode up to the man and fell to his knees, asking for food and drink. The man kindly gave him some, but only if Ivan would serve as his wagon guard, for they were about to travel into a area known to be infested with bandits. Ivan, of course, agreed.

So, the next morning, they set off together. Ivan sat in the back of the wagon, to cover their back incase the bandits tried to be sneaky, plus, there was no room up front. The day was easy going, and at about noon, Ivan began to feel drowsy, and lay down looking up at the sky thinking "I can rest my eyes for a few moments. After all, if the bandits wanted to attack, would'nt they have done it by now?" and he drifted off into sleep. He woke up, what felt like moments later but he knew was actully a few hours, to the 'THWAP' of an arrow barely missing his hand and saw several armed men shooting arrows at the wagon. He turned around to see the merchant slumped over, unconcious, with an arrow protruding from his shoulder. Ivan, grabbing his sword. Rushed toward the men. He thought to himself "Hah, what foolish bandits, I can easily defeat them. After all, I fought worse odds as a kid." But this wasnt anything like a street brawl. The bandits had been fighting for years, and were seasoned raiders. Ivan, being his normal, over confident self, rushed at the biggest attacker. The man raised his sword and brought it crashing down towards Ivan. He barely had time to raise his own sword before the two blades crashed together. Ivan, of course, had severly underestimated the man, and his strength failed him. The man's sword continued its downward swipe, the tip of the blade cutting Ivan down the side of his face, blinding him in one eye. He screamed in agony and feel to his knees. The bandit simply kicked him in the side of the head, knocking him unconcious. When he finally awoke, the sun was setting, and the bandits were gone, along with the merchant's goods. The wagon had been burned and looking around, Ivan realized the merchant was nowhere to be found. Ivan struggled to his feet, barely able to walk as he took a few steps, then agian fell unconcious. When he agian awoke, he found himself in a bed, a woman standing over him. She told him another merchant was traveling the same route he was, and had found the unconcious Ivan and dropped him off in the nearest village. When he finally came to his senses, he realized he couldnt see out of one eye, then he remembered the other day's events. He also tried to move his arm that had the sword in it, but when he did, a shard of pain went through his arm. Ivan stayed in the village for weeks, slowly recovering. When he was well enough to walk, he thanked to woman and vowed to repay her, then set off for home, back to Arathor, to make a name for himself as a warrior.

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? As Ivan hears a cry ringing through the forest. Running toward the sound, he sees two warriors harassing a halfing, one repeatedley kicking the halfing, the other simply standing there with his arms crossed and a smile on his face. Drawing his sword, Ivan raised it above his head as sprinted toward the armed warriors, screaming as he did so. Taking the men by suprise, he slammed his shoulder into one of the chest of the man who was kicking the defencless halfling. Then he turned around to intercept a downward stroke from the other man, then stomped on his foot. The man yelped in pain and taking the advantage, he rammed his sword to the hilt into the mans chest. As he slumped to the ground, he turned around to see the second man slowly rising to his feet and regaining the breath that had been slammed out of him. Before the man could draw his sword, Ivan brought the flat of his blade down on the mans hand, the in one fluid motion, brought his knee up into the man's face. As his knee collided with the man's face, he felt the nose break and the man's expression went blank as he slumped to the ground as well. Ivan sheathed his sword and helped the halfing to his feet. The halfing thanked Ivan greatly and went on his way. Ivan smiled and went his own way as well.

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? Smiling kindly, Ivan sad to the man "Well, im quite parched. Do you happen to have any sort of drink on you I could purchase?" The man said yes, and Ivan payed him. Then, took a swig of the drink, smiled gratefully, then continued walking around the city.

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?: Walking through the doorway, Ivan could tell that nobody had lived here for awhile. As he looks around, he notices a chest. When he looks inside of it, he finds a few iron bars and a golden sword. Shrugging slightly and thinking to himself "If who ever lived here needed these, they'de have taken the item with them" He took the sword and a few iron bars, leaving a couple behind incase somebody else came wondering around and was in need of a few.

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 Ivan notices its a trading camp and not some bandits in the woods, he flinches slightly, rememebering his failure and how he was blinded in one eye. But he shook off the feeling and walked closer to the camp, kindly asking for some food and drink, for he was in desperate need of some. The men spared Ivan some food, and then he asked if he may rest there with them for the night. The men also agreed to this and gave him some furs to sleep on. In the morning he thanked the men greatly as asked for directions back to Arathor, for he was longing to be back home. The men thought for a second and pointed in a direction. Ivan thanked them once agian and headed off.

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?: As Ivan hears about the bandits occupying the road, he lightly touches his blind eye, then gripping his sword tightly, he ran to join the guards to help defeat the bandits. When the group moved out, Ivan was in the front, anxious to go into battle. One of the guards asked if he was alright, thinking Ivan was acting strange. But he simply ingored the man, keeping his gaze forward and kept walking. When they finally came face-to-face with the bandit group, Ivan didnt even wait for orders, he simply drew his sword and ran toward the enemy, the rest of the group following quickly behind him. Ivan fought like a crazed beast, falling men left and right. When the fight had ended, the leader thanked him greatly, and offered him a reward. Ivan simply shook his head and told the man that defeating the scum was reward enough.

Anything else you would like to say?:

Nah, I'm good.
