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.):

Nicodemus was born to a middle-class merchant family in Arethor. His father was very busy at work and his mother was usually taking care of his little sister, so young Nico occuppied his time with books. He was a voracious reader, and was especially fond of adventure stories of the Wilds. The stories drove him to travel when he became a young man.

Nicodemus set out with his father's best coat, a few supplies, and a newly forged iron sword. He was not the most rugged of men, and had quite a hard time adapting. But he got the hang of hunting, and set up a small lean-to. One day, Nico was out gathering fruit when he stumbled upon a journal. It belonged to a monk by the name of Manius, and was full of verses and prayers to the one God. He had no idea how it got there, but he was still the voracious reader he was in his youth. Nico reread the journal dozens of times, and became something of a devout worshipper.

Now Nicodemus has left the Wilds at the age of 32. He became a tad socially awkward from his time of solitude, and is looking to deepen his understanding of God. He is very diffrent from the young man who left home, but he still wears his father's old jacket and loves to read.

What are your Character's ambitions?: Nicodemus wishes to become a monk, priest, or some other form of devout follower of God.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Nico prefers the sword.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Nico prides himself on his acrobatics, having learned how to climb steep ledges and jump from tree to tree during his time in the Wilds.

Other Information about your Character: Nicodemus used to be called 'Demy' buy his mother, and he gets rather glassy eyed when someone calls him that. He prefers his full name, or Nico.

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? Nicodemus is no fool. He wouldn't just try and bust the two up, but cause a distraction. He would make a commotion from afar so they would go after him, belittling their actions and cursing them. Nico would make a quick getaway and this would also give the halfling a chance to escape 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? Nico would be wary of the vendor, but be as civil as he could manage. He would look over the man's wares and move on unless something really caught his eye.

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?: Nico would leave it alone. Not that he couldn't use the supplies, but stealing was stealing no matter what the circumstances. Abandoned or not, these were not for him to take.

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? Nicodemus would be as humble as he could, asking if there was an inn nearby. If not, he would offer payment in the form of money or services in exchange for temporary lodging and some food. Afterwords, he would thank them heartily and keep an eye out for the group in the future.

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?: Nicodemus would not join the party, but he would go with them to deal with bandits. Rather than fight, he would try to do anything in his power to get the bandits to retreat with as little bloodshed as possible. He would convey to the bandits the evil and futility of the fight, hoping his words could drive them off better than steel would.

Anything else you would like to say?: Thank you for taking the time to read my application.
