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.):

My name is Jack Bishop, I am 18 years old and was born in the Holy Oren Empire’s capital city, Arethor. I have light brown hair, pale skin colour, and dark blue eyes. From what I remember of my childhood we lived with very little food and money. As a result of this my father, Bruce Bishop, set out to join the The Teutonic Order. After a year or so my mother took ill and instead of dying she struck a deal with the local doctors, they could prod her for research as long as I would obtain payment for her torture. Being a ten year old boy I couldn’t stand what was going on and living on my own, so I fled the city in the hopes of finding my father.

After three months of searching for my father I was wandering threw a field when it began to drizzle, but it escalated quickly into a storm and I fled inside a nearby cave for refuge. Why scrambling around the cave for something that I could use for a fire I touched something that was ragged, thick, and was covered in twigs. At the age of ten I figured it would make for a good tinder, while the beast it belonged to thought I would make an easy supper. He pounced on me quicker than the lightning raging on outside, my head hit the floor and I blacked out. I awoke in a warm bead with the smell of fresh bread in the air. Not knowing where I was or how I got there I slowly opened my eyes and rotated my head to observe my surroundings. Just as I get to the opposite side from which I awoke a gentle voice startles me and I jump causing a shock of pain to run threw my side, I scream and the voice tells me “Calm down, I’m a friend” then quickly throws in ”I also saved your life”.

After he explains how he saw me wandering through his field and figured I was trying to nab some of his grain so he chased after me with his hand scythe out and at his side. He followed me towards the cave and saw how the mountain wolf had pounced on me. He said that without hesitation he jumped at the beast and pierced its neck, but the wolf still managed to get a chunk out of my hip. After he told me how he carried me back to his home and patched me up. I thanked him and asked his name, he called himself Cain.

7 years passed and my stay with Cain ended, I went out to start a new life, along with search for clues of what happened to my father.

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?

First, I’ll sneak up towards them to try to hear what they are saying to the Halfling and what he is saying in his defence. After hearing what is needed if either of them try to harm him I will present myself and purposely draw their attention towards myself in hopes that the Halfling will try to flee or assassinate one of the two warriors if not I will try to motion him into committing one of the actions. If he flees I will ask the two warriors for directions to wherever I may be heading, if the Halfling attacks I will charge at the other warrior in hopes of slaying\tackling him. If we succeed then we will hid the bodies, loot them, then flee the scene. If we fail then there’s no need to worry about the next part.

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?

Ask the man if he has any available information about the job at hand, and if not ask about any treasures I have come across. Also I will inquire about any equipment that may come in handy throughout my journey. After hearing what the man has to say thank him and carry on.

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?:

While inside the hut search around for any information about the owner of the hut and see if it is alright to take the desired items. If I find information to shows that it is just a really rundown, but still used, hut leave and cover my tracks. If it truly is abandoned take all that is salvageable.

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 would respond by greeting them in the same common tongue and ask why they would settle and create a trading camp within the forest. After they respond I would ask them how their business is and then ask to see their wares and sell so miscellaneous items I may have.

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?:

Go up to the leader of the party and tell him “I am more than happy to help considering I am heading that way and I am an able body”. After telling him this I would ask for an hour to see if I can gather anymore assistance and spare gear from the towns folk. I would then return ten minutes to help organize the party and prepare the attack.
