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.): Ada Angelina Rose is the daughter of Destiny, and Casper Rose. Her name was chosen by her parents meaning Happy little angel, because of the joy she brought to them. A very rare event occurred in this family though, elven twins. Her brother’s name was Dennis named for his wild nature. She and her family were very very close especially with her brother. Destiny and Casper where owners of a large farming establishment. They would sometimes harvest, and plant as a hobby, also due to their elven love of nature. Ada and Dennis followed their example, but Dennis was more into combat. His sword was fast as lightning, and bow a rain of terror on all that opposed him. Ada could swing a sword and shoot an arrow but her true love lied in the fields and groves. She had an affinity with plants that no one else on the farm did and she knew it. She also knew that it was more than talent, she had a little magic in her directly linked to the plants she nurtured. Destiny and Casper had two prodigies on their hands, and much like Malin the father of the elves they couldn't have been happier.

But as is the way of the world all good things must come to an end. The rose family may have been well known, and prosperous, but that doesn't mean they were without enemies. Casper's father had been rash for an elf, and wild much like Dennis. He had made enemies with the Vrog family of orcs, they wanted the Roses out, and if they wouldn't leave the Vrogs were ready to kill. Casper knew what he had to do to protect his family, so he sent all his halfling employees to his friend's fields, and planned to flee to Asulon with his beloved family. They set out that night on, but a storm was rolling in. Destiny had hired the best sailor she could find but even the best seaman couldn't handle the boat in the rage of the sea. Soon they were pushed into the graves of the deep, a rock field only the best can cross in a waveless sea. No sooner had they entered the ship was wrecked on The Beak. Casper had thought Ada and Dennis how to swim as soon as they could walk, but Destiny never learned. The Children now clung to part of the mast. Casper fought the raging waves to reach his sinking love. He dived, and that was the last Ada and Dennis saw of their beloved parents.

The two elves drifted for days, and days hoping against hope they would find land. The salt water staining their platinum hair and brilliant green eyes a dark muddy brown. Against all odds they washed up on the shores of the wilds. They soon found water and some berries they rested about a week to regain strength enough to survive, for they were in dire shape after their ordeal. On the ninth night they set out. After 4 hours of walking they encountered bandits. Dennis had his sword he was wearing when the ship went down, and they had both fashioned rough bows, and arrows. Ada readied her bow unaware of her brother's intentions. No sooner had she leased her arrow Dennis was charging. She tried to cancel the shot was too late, her arrow struck the vary person she had been trying to protect in the back.

Dennis was mortally wounded, there was no saving him. Ada went to her brother, the last thing she had left, and said, tears streaming down her face "Dennis you'll be ok I know you will you will come on please you'll be fine." Dennis replied "no sister I won't you must go on go before the bandits reach you, you must leave me." crying harder than ever before Ada said "NO I won't leave you!" and the bandits were upon her. She ripped Dennis's sword from his now lifeless form, and swung wildly. Hacking at the bandits she wounded most but only killed two. Despair threatening to overcome her, she ran as fast as any elf had ever run, losing the bandits in the woods. When she was safe she dug a small grave placing the last she had of her brother, his sword, in it. Crying her eyes dry, she placed her bow and arrows on the fresh soil and vowed never to pick up another weapon ever again. Her family torn from her at the elven age of 15.

When Ada finally reached civilization she was sent to the elves. They took this unarmed, grief ridden girl in gave her food to eat, water to drink, and a place to rest her head. She spoke to no one, and did nothing, she remained in her room. But the elves noticed that their crops were thriving like never before, their harvests were larger, and fields at their lushest, no one knew why. Until one night an archer was on guard, and saw a small figure in the fields obviously elven. The next night the figure appeared again, she seemed to be working some sort of magic over the crops. On the third night the archer told the fields master what he had seen, and the master decided to camp out in the tool shed, and confront this figure. What he saw amazed him, this girl was going from plant to plant nurturing it in a way no elf he had ever seen do before. He approached the figure, but she didn't notice him until he cleared his throat. She froze. He said "ah miss you have quite a gift there." The girl turned around and he saw it was Ada the grief stricken girl he brought food to every day. He was startled to see her out of her room, and even more startled to hear her voice. “I like plants," she muttered sad as ever "and they like me."

The encounter seemed to snap Ada out of her trance, she joined the fields master in the day, and he started grooming her to be his successor. But soon he sensed she wasn't satisfied. So he let her go, she left the city and went to the country side in search of a place to call her own. She needed to be alone away from others, she needed time to overcome her grief. All she needed was quiet, plants, and time.

Open-Response-Questions

Each and every question must be answered with a minimum of a single full paragraph and entirely in RP.

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? Ada: Is there something wrong here?

Armed Warrior (AW): Get lost you have no involvement in this.

Halfling mouths to Ada: Help

Ada: Is there a reason you are treating this innocent halfling with such brutality?

AW: I said get lost

Ada: If there is no reason then you might as well let him carry on with his business.

AW: Look lady he hasn't paid what he owes and we are just collecting what's ours

Ada: is that true sir *looks at halfling*

Halfling mutters quietly: I needed some start up money for my shop and I payed them back but i can't afford the interest they're asking if I want to put food on the table.

Ada: well how much was the loan and interest?

Halfling: 2,500 Minas for the loan and 500 for the interest.

Ada now addressing the AW: You have no right to demand 20% interest it is manipulative at best!

Ada now addressing the halfling: You, my friend, are only required to pay 8% at most now how long did it take you to pay back the loan?

Halfling:15 days

Ada: that was fast, your interest SHOULD only be *Ada pulls out her notebook and scribbles for a moment* 100 Minas

AWs look infuriated but can't hurt Ada due to the proximity to the temple and guard within earshot

the halfling pulls out 100 Minas hands it to the aws then practically hides behind Ada.

Ada: hopefully next time you can resolve matters without help

Ada turns and walks away escorting the halfling to the nearest village.

On the way the halfling notices Ada looking detached as if daydreaming of something she misses

Halfling: I never caught your name

Ada sighs pulling out of her daydreaming: Ada

Halfling: are you alright

Ada: that just reminded me of bartering over produce before I came to Asulon

Halfling: You look sad

Ada: well let's just say I miss the times before and leave it at that *her voice cracking at the end*

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?

Ada: no sir thank you for asking but I am not in need of anything at the moment

Merchant: Are you sure a Young lass like your self shouldn't wander without protection and I 'appen to see you havn't a weapon to your name.

Ada: no thank you I don't need any weapons

Merchant: you sure be a right shame you get into a squabble and can't get your self out.

Ada: I said no thank you I can handle myself your a wonderful business man, but I con't require a weapon

Merchant: You sure

Ada: yes quite sure good sir although I am in the market for a handful of pumpkin seeds they're terribly hard to come by and the village down the road from my settlement is having an absolutely frightful ender-man problem.

Merchant: well why didn't you say so I got a fresh shipment o' pumpkins from a supplier up south now how many would you like?

Ada: 16 should be sufficient

Merchant: pleasure doing business with you are you positive I can't interest you in a bow i have some lovely ones here perfect for a lovely elven lass

Ada: A bow is the last thing I need

*Ada rushes off into the growing crowd*

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?:

((most likely she would just have come out of her back-story))

Ada lost in grief and in way was trudging through the wilds in search of salvation, and pondering why this had happened to her. In the distance she spots a small cottage, driven b hunger she approaches the hut. The closer she comes the more oblivious it is the house is abandoned, she goes inside hopping to find some preserved food. There is a small chest in the corner, she peers in,then slams the lid shut. "No" she says to her self, tears rising in her eyes yet again. For in the chest was a sword, a golden sword much like the one she had just buried. To soon she was reminded of her situation, Ada would never again be a happy little angel she ran from the house desperately trying to forget what had just happened.

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?

((again probably the back-story situation))

Camper: hello miss can I help you

Ada shakes her head not trusting her voice

Camper: surly there must be something we can do your cloths are in taters, you appear starved, and you have no method of defense for surly only the orcs dare wrestle the creatures of this forest.

Ada still unwilling to speak just shakes her head some more and plays the game of cat and mouse with her own tears yet again.

Camper 2: maybe we should send her to the cloud temple the monks will know how to help her

Camper: no we should take her to her own kind

Camper: What elves do you reside with you have the skin and form of a high elf but your hair is like nothing ever before

Ada: high

Camper: come on youngun will help you get there

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?:

Guard: 'scuse me miss the town guard is looking for civilians who have some experience with combat there are some bandits holding up just out side town we could use agile elves like your self on archery and surveillance

at this Ada's memory drags up everything she has been so desprate to forget; the bandits in the woods, her on archery, a team fight, her brother, how he died.

Ada:... I can't * her voice choked*

Guard: oh surly you can i haven't met an elf yet that can't shoot

Ada:.... You don't understand

Guard: sure I do your scared to embarrass your self don't worry...

Ada interrupting the guard: I won't I vowed never to take up arms again not after Dennis....

tears well in Ada's eyes and the guard realizes hes struck a cord that should be left untouched

Ada: I'm sorry....I'm sorry

then rushes off batting back tears

Anything else you would like to say?: thanks for the feed back I'm doing my best, and I'm completely open to suggestion on any part of my character
