What do you know about Roleplaying? Give a definition of what it means to you: It is when a person becomes a character (usually for the purpose of a game) and acts as that character rather than them self.

In-Character:

Character Name: Caelik

What Race are you?: Elf

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race):

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.): Caelik (meaning archer and arrow) is an Elf who was abandoned by his parents at birth, his father and mother both elves who had been banished from their elven colony. They stole what food they needed and felt they could not support a third mouth and so they left him alone in the woods – a mere child. Miraculously Caelik survived his infant years and at the age of 4 was taken in by a band of Elves he came across while exploring the woodlands – they took him in and he saw them as his new family as he grew. They taught him how to wield a bow and he has an excellent control over the art of archery. They also taught him tactics to survive when in the wild (although he had picked quite a lot up already). These combinations of abilities allowed him to become an incredibly talented hunter, and has allowed him to master the art of stealth too. His hunter “parents” decided to give him the name Caelik because of his elven heritage and also because of him being very adept with a bow. He stayed with the hunting clan and hunted with them for many years, until his twentieth birthday. At this point he decided that it was his time to explore the world of Asulon, however he goes back to see his family every couple of months and always brings them a gift from the afar regions of Asulon.

He is 24 and has blue eyes. No one really knows what he looks like because he always wears a hood which covers a large proportion of his face. He is kind and caring, but is also hard and ruthless at times.

However, he has numerous weaknesses. One being if reminded of his parent’s and how they abandoned him, he descends into a burning rage, in which he will lash out at anything or anyone who angers him. This stays with him for a number of hours. He is also very susceptible to having a good time and enjoying himself. However a long night of partying and alcohol takes its toll, and he wakes up with an unnaturally bad hangover (worse than any normal person’s). He also finds it hard to understand the use of a sword and isn’t very skilled in this ability.

What is your Character's ambitions?: To set up his own Elf colony and take revenge on his parent's clan.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Bow and arrows.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?: Archery.

Other Information about your Character: Very kind and caring to the ones he holds close.

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? Walks over and asks the two men what the problem is. If they were to respond with a reason such as that the Halfling has committed a crime then Caelik would suggest that, rather than harassing the Halfling themselves, that they should get the law enforcement involved so it can be sorted out properly. However if the two armed warriors could give no valid reason Caelik would barge into both men, allowing enough time for the Halfling to escape, and in the confusion he would be able to use a sleeper hold that his father taught him and consequently knock the attackers unconscious.

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? He would ask whether the man was selling any quality bow strings or arrows. Also he would enquire about a simple brown leather hunting jacket, sturdy yet light.

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 make sure that the house was definitely empty and had not been lived in for some time, and if it had he would take some of the iron bars – however he would leave the sword, it would be of no use to him.

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? Approach them with no weapons drawn, so as to show he meant no harm. He would then ask them politely whether he could stay with them for a few nights, and to possibly be fed. If they agreed he would offer to repay them with labour or to return the food he consumed by hunting some animals when he had got his strength back.

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 instantly would go and sign up to help, he knew what bandits were like (from previous experience) and thought that it was not fair that they should steal people’s hard earned belongings and so they needed to be sorted out by the law.
