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.):

Taken as a small child from his home in Malinor during a night raid by a secret organization, Callanos was forced to train as an specialist-tactical fighter from a very young age. Callanos was considered one of the best students the Master had ever seen. Many other students said he might be the next Master. But during a mission, Callanos was cut down by an enemy and thought dead by the others. He woke up a week later in a small hut, being tended by an old woman. When he had recovered, he had left without a trace. He works now as an (I understand I need a Villain app, I will do no killing till approved) assassin for hire and he is very good at what he does... VERY good... Callanos is now about 25 Elven years or about 100 human years. He has no home since he has been abandon by his (Now disbanded) Assassin's Guild. He travels, works where he can, usually as a wood crafter and tries to not make much of a name for himself. Callanos never knew his parents who perished in the raid on his home and he has not tried to locate or find any remaining family members. Callanos doesn't know the Assassin's Guild was the ones who killed his parents and may never know since they disbanded. Mostly, he just wanders, looking for a place in the world where he can be.

Smart as$ doesn't even begin to start to describe him. He is very sarcastic but usually know just how far to push before becoming an issue. He is usually doesn't make a name for himself in a town and will take his time becoming part of one. He loves a good cup of sake in the local tavern. He will start to warm up to people who show him kindness. He is very fast. If he goes into a tavern or a building, he makes sure he is never in a chair out in the open. He makes sure to NEVER get drunk!

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? Trying to come up behind them, I hit both in the back with a potion of weakness, as the glass shatters, I say "Leave him alone". "Hee hee hee, what's a scrawny little guy like you gonna do, throw some more funny smelling water on us?" "No, I'll do this" as I throw a knife, making sure the knife handle hits him square between the eyes. "Oww, why does that hurt so bad? Get him!" As they rush at me I take a deep breath, hold it for a second, then release it as I open my eyes, I think through my years of training. The two guys run up, I dodge the 1st blade, then the second, I bring my right elbow around and hit the one on the right in the back of the head, he falls down, unconscious. The second guy lunges once, twice, on his third lunge, I pull out my sword and block. He power cleaves down, I slip under his legs, and pop up. He then spins around, holding his sword out, I duck and bring my sword handle into his stomach, he is winded and falls down. "Are you alright sir?" I ask "Yes, thank you!" I bow to him and start to walk on as he starts kicking one of the warrior in the side. I life up my left hand, based on the weight of the coin purse, I'd say I snagged 5 gold...

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?

"Greetings sir, do you have any potions for sale?" "Terribly sorry sir, but I do not, what I do have is this exquisite sword , wielded by a master swords man!” “Who was it?" I question him. "The Great Faelar Mustog!!!" I examine the blade quickly and set it back down, it’s a fake "No thank you sir, I do not see what I am looking for here" I turn and start to walk away. "But sir! You haven't seen..." "I said 'no thank you'" I snap back and glance at him. I hear a click and I drop to the ground, a couple seconds before a piston block would have hit me square in the chest, it was built into his stand. I push off the ground back to my feet and throw a handful of dirt in his eyes "Arrrgh! You've blinded me! Guards! Guards! This man is trying to steal from me!" As he finishes that sentence, I've slipped into the crowd, as I hear foot steps converging behind me...

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?:

I quickly examine the sword and toss it back inside. Gold is too heavy. I then take the three iron bars, these would be very useful, and wouldn't bring too much attention if sold. I would move on quickly, staying in one place for too long is just asking for trouble...

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?

"Good evening, it seems I have lost my way, do you know how to get to Alras?" "Sure, sure friend! Come into my tent!" I follow him in, there is a large table with a tattered map pinned to it. The tent was pretty empty besides a sleeping cot and large, heavily locked chest. "Where do you travel from friend?" "I am just a wanderer and lost my way" My stomach growls noisily. "Hungry friend?" "Just a bit, sir." I respond. He sets his bag down and rummages through it, "There we are!" he pulls a little bit of bread, cheese, and half an apple out. "Thank you sir." I say as I turn to eat it, out of his view. "Strange feller you are. Mr...." "Wind." I say through bites. I quickly finish the food, apple core and all and thank him. "So you are going to Alras, hmm?" "Yes sir." Alright, seems you need go North a days journey, need a place to sleep?" "No, I don't sleep in strange places" "Alright good sir, your funeral with all those monsters out there. Fare thee well" I bow and walk away.

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?:

I would wait until I could talk to the guard captain myself. I would tell him I am well versed in tactical fighting and scouting and offer to help "eliminate" them for him, so there are fewer casualties from the town. I would also remind him that even if I fail, the worse that would happen was I lessen their ranks by a few.

Anything else you would like to say?:

I can’t wait to play!
