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.):

Derex Songcall was born to a normal family in the Oren Empire. He had dark brown hair and deep dark blue eyes. His father a lumberjack, his mother was a baker. They weren't rich, but they weren't poor. Derex was always tall for his age. He was also quite strong and fast. He loved to pretend sticks were swords and knives when he was a child. Pretending he was like the warriors he read stories about. He would play swords with his friend all the time.

When Derex was 8 his father bought him a Elven Knife. It was quite small but it was also quite sharp. He would use it to carve at sticks or to kill tiny little bugs. Derex was always interested in Magic. Mages of all sorts lived in his village, they could do almost anything. He was so excited to see a Mage use is powers to put out a burning building or help kill bandits. He wanted to have these powers. He once asked a Mage how he could get these fantastic powers and the Mage told him to concentrate and let natures energy flow through his body. Derex had a hard time understanding the man but he said "alright" and walked away. Derex felt sad that he had not learned the secret.

One normal day in Oren Derex was sitting on his porch widdling a stick, he was about 14 at the time, when his father came runnning into the town from the forest. He was covered in cuts and had a arrow in his arm. He was screaming about "undead". People ignored him and continued on with there lives, until that night when the rest of the lumberjacks did not return. Many were scared of the "undead", Derex did not know what they were and he did not want to know. He feared they were a evil force of nature and that was not good for his concentration. He felt he had to rid the woods of the "undead" maybe it would help him unlock the secret. Some men were raising arms to rid the forest of these creatures. Derex only had his knife but he joined the group, until his father saw him raising his small Elven Knife in the air. Derex was told by his father never to go back into those woods. Being as Derex had on desire in the world, to learn magic, he did not listen he simply went into the woods anyways. Derex found the group of men or at least part of them. They were all badly hurt. Derex asked where the others were and only got sad looks from the men. Derex thought for a moment then understood. The men were killed. Derex looked to the moist ground and saw a crimson soaked rock. A tear dropped from his eye. Derex sheaths his knife and sat down placing his head in his hands. It started to rain upon the group. drenching Derex making his clothes heavy.He stood up and grabbed one of the men's sword. Derex had no training with a blade and he could barley lift it. It was a iron sword. He felt good holding it up to the sky. He tied it to his belt and sprinted deeper into the forest, alone. Derex kept running until he heard the moans. The deep moans of the "undead". Derex knew he needed to be ready, he strapped on his helmet of leather and checked his leather armor. He drew the blade holding it with two hands. He felt strong but scared His eyes were soaked from rain and tears. It was hard for him to move but he ran towards the moans. He spotted a zombie. He screamed and ran towards it. He slashed his sword until he felt hit it something. The blade ripped through the zombies flesh killing it. He ran back to the town sword back in sheath. He disguised his tears with the ran trying to seem strong. He walked into his house dripping water.

Derex was never the same after that day he was always a bit more dark. When he was 19 he wouldn't show his face to anyone. He always wore a dark cloak usually green sometimes black. He studied medical potions and poisons. He became a apothecary. He often kept a poison potion and a healing potion. He kept his knife hidden under his sleeve, strapped to his arm. He also kept a sword at his hip it was mostly covered by his cloak though. Derex was angry with everyone, and he didn't know why. He did not want to feel this hatred but he did. He wanted to leave. He wanted to run away from the village and find something to make him happy, anything to make his life feel important.

Derex left his village when he was 21. He was happy and sad he knew he wouldn't see his parents again. Nor would he see his friend. He would miss him the only person to make his life worth living. He packed his things and sprinted to the road. His cloak fluttered behind him. He did not cry and he did not look back. He wanted to be strong so he kept running. Once he knew no one could see him he collapsed to his knees, a tear streamed down his face. He sat there for a day, he ate some of his stored food. He got up and walked on down the road searching for something to make him happy. Maybe a magic teacher, or a female friend.

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? Derex figures its none of his business. He sees the two warriors dressed in only leather armor holding iron swords. He did not care for others so he kept walking on down the gravel road. Derex looked back on last time and a memory of his child played out in his mind. He remembered the night in the forest. How he saw the blood and the wounded men. He continued on his way.

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? Derex comes in from the rain. His dark cloak is dripping water leaving a trail. He looks through the shop grabs some food and brings it to the counter.

"Remove you hood sir" the shopkeeper says. Derex just stands, his dark blue eyes staring at the man.

"Remove your hood now!" the shopkeeper yells. Derex stands waiting for the man take to his money so he may leave. The shopkeeper stops yelling at just stands there crossing his arms. Derex notices many scars on the mans arms. He looks up to the eyes of the shopkeeper. Derex sees a crimson slash in his Green eyes. Derex understands the man has been through much pain. He removes his hood and pays for the items leaving a small tip for the man. Derex puts his hood back up and takes his items.

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?: Derex wouldn't respond. he would take a look around the hut. Maybe seeing if there is anything useful for him that someone wouldn't notice that he took. He finds that the hut is useless. He leaves the hut without anything moved. Not caring to lock or even close the door.

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? Derex hates to ask for help but he isn't stupid. He knows he won't survive without food.

"Is there a shop I can buy food?" Derex asked. He is grasping his stomach.

"Yes, yes there is. Right over here." one of the traders pointed out.

"Th.." Derex pauses and gasps when he sees the stand with fresh cooked steak. He sprints to the stand pulling out a pouch of minas on the way. He buys four steaks and mows them down with his hands hunger fading with each bite. Derex's face was filled with pleasure.

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?: Derex has not been terrorized by the bandits therefore he does not care about them. He does not care for other people. Derex refuses to help the group of men fight off the bandits. He watched though, he enjoyed the battle.

Anything else you would like to say?: I love LotC and the huge community. I hope I get accepted this time. If you do not like my application tell me how I can better it please.
