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.):

For fifty years my life has been fine. Quiet, relaxed, and uneventful. That is until recently when my father left my mother for no reason other than to be with some good for nothing elf! What's worse is that She is so young she could have been my sister! Disgusting. Now my sister and I are spending more of your free time with Mother which isn't a bad thing, for we all need to support each other during these times. Sister has also never spent enough time with Mother as it is. Hopefully Mother will open up again, and another, worthier, man than my father will see how wonderful a person she is.

As of late I have also been honing my archery skill so, that I may be better able to provide for my family. I also, the gash over my left eye, the one I received from a wolf whilst meditating in the forest, has turned into a silver scar. This is quite the contrast to my oak colored skin and my typical green, brown, and black garb. But I like it, I believe it suits me. Mother bothers me that others might not think so, but I don't care very much of what others think of my appearance. Sister says that my green hair balances the scar out, those are her reasoning, not mine. That has been my life so far, the rest I still have to make.

Other Information about your Character:

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?

Hello kind sirs, what seems to be the problem. I'm I could be of some assistance, how ever small. If you will please deal with me and not this poor halfling. Oh I see, here I shall pay his debt for him. Four arrows for both of you. Hopefully that will satisfy the debt.

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?

Oh, for me! Nothing kind sir, the land gives me what I need. I just happen to be passing through.

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?:

Baum looks in the chest and is uninterested, for one must earn reward through hard work not theft, for even if no one is around that doesn't mean it is unowned. He then leaves a note for the owner if there is one to conceal their belongings in a better manner.

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?

Hello my kind people, would you show your generosity and spare some food for me, as I am starving, please? If you would like I could work some after? My skills in herbology and hunting are superb but, at the moment I lack the tools to hunt, I would be eternally grateful toward you.

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?:

Baum must aid the party eliminate the threat of bandits towards innocent people, and sense this is an act of kindness he will not ask for a reward. Even though he will save a Guardsman's life with first his bow, then his ax, and finally his herbology. Even if the Guard insist on reward Baum will turn it down.

Anything else you would like to say?:

I hope that I met the requirements on the Open-Response-Questions :)

Reasons:

• Your power-emoting definition requires expanding.
  
• Minor lore inconsistencies. We have been in Asulon for 50 years. Before that, we had a rather eventful war with the Undead, culiminating in us leaving the world as they effectively destroyed it. That wouldn't be called "uneventful".
  
• You need to include more server lore in your biography. Show us that you are at least a little familiar with the places and major events of our world. You can research the lore on our Wiki here.
  
• You also need to include a description of your character's appearance and personality in your biography. I'd also like to see reasoning behind your character's herbalism, archery and nature skills.
  
• Your Open Response Questions need to be expanded. They are all required to be at least one paragraph, and written in full role-play. Some ways to expand on them would be to explain in more detail what your character does, and also explain why they do it, and "what's going through their head" at the moment. You should also include both detailed actions and dialogue in your answers. You should not include "if"s in your response. You are narrating a scenario, not listing the possible courses of events.
  

A nice application, and it almost met my standards. Don't be discouraged, a little bit of fixing and you should be good.

If you have any queries relating to this application, please do not hesitate to PM me on the forums!

I'm not that scary and usually don't bite.

You may reapply in 24 hours from the time of this post.

Why not browse the forums or read up on some helpful guides while you wait?
