What do you know about Roleplaying?: Give a definition of what it means to you: RPG’s are my favourite type of games, especially MMO’s.

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.):

When I was ten my mother gave me my first axe. She told me that if I practiced hard with it, I could one day become a master of it. I never knew my father, he wasn’t dead and he hadn’t run away, he just didn’t even know that I was born. My mother told me he was a great craftsman and that he could forge the most powerful of weapons on a whim. He was the one that had made his axe and I intend to use it as he saw fit. My mother was an assassin. She would dress in a black gown, and bore two golden axes. She had a limited knowledge of engineering that she used when she didn’t want to get here hands messy, she taught her use of red stone to me, and to this day I can still recall it.

The day I turned twelve the house was ransacked by bandits, fifteen attacked and another three lay wait outside. They attacked my mother and brought her down, although at a heavy cost to themselves. She managed to kill nine of them and wound one, the leader. Almost out of pity they took me with them, always keeping a close eye on me in case I turned on them, I didn’t. But they didn’t know that I was biding my time.

I had now grown to the age of sixteen and fallen in love with one of them. A nineteen year old girl named Liliana, as time went on our relationship started to grow and the bandits realised what was happening, they didn’t want an outsider to get too involved. Eventually it came to a point that I spent the night in her tent, it was the day I had decided to leave and she wanted to say goodbye. Before leaving we shared a moment together. I had just one more thing to fulfil, I snuck into the leader of the bandits tent and slid my axe across his right forearm, to remind him that although I had the chance to kill the man that finished off my mother, I spared him.

Thirty days later I had nowhere to go, I couldn’t go to the bandits, they had moved on by now and I couldn’t travel back to the city, not with my mother’s reputation, so I spent the next month in the woods, learning how to climb trees and find my way around a forest. While doing so I can came across a land I hadn’t heard of before. The locals called it, Asulon.

What are your Character's ambitions?: I wish to become a messenger of peace, to spread joy and happiness. If that requires force then so be it.

What is your character’s favourite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Axe.

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

Other Information about your Character: I have a very long fuse, you can do whatever you want to me, but stay away from the people who are important to me.

Open-Response-Questions:

Whilst travelling 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?: I don’t approach them, although I know that picking on Halflings is wrong, I still believe it is every man for himself on the roads. Should I want to intervene I would attempt to call on the while hidden. Tell them to leave the Halfling be and if they didn’t they would have to pay the consequences. Some say that my morals are wayward, but if you were in my position, you would realise that the odds are not on my side and there is nothing for me to gain.

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?: I appreciate the pleasantries but I do not require anything from your stall, information on the other hand is very valuable. Can you tell me what goes on around this city; I would like the name of the richest men and women. Who knows, there may even be a tidy sum of money for you.

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?: My policies are every man for himself, although I do not approve of stealing from men of the wilds, I only take from those who have enough and an excess they do not deserve. I would leave the golden sword and iron bars, whoever owns them obviously went to a great deal of trouble to get them and just because the house looks abandoned, doesn’t mean it is.

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?: I share their company and eat and drink with them. Who knows, if they have any pretty women, they might be in for a good time as well. However, business does come before pleasure, and if I’m out there, there will be a good reason.

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?: Any chance to make a penny is a good one. I do not act on behalf of the city or the people in it, but for the reason that any bandits on the road may have information on the whereabouts of my father, and I intend to find him. Not to mention there is a chance to make a profit.

Anything else you would like to say?: Thank you for the time you have taken to read this. Can’t wait to get on the server and meet you all!
