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.): Blade. That was what he was born with. That was what his mother, Mari named him. That is what he lives by. Blade has always been a proud, yet ambitious Dwarf, seeking to out-mine, out-fight, and out-drink all other competitors. His skill with a sword as well as a pickaxe are amazing, but though he won't admit it, he still has much to learn. He was born in Asulon, near a cave that his father bought out from an old friend. After Blade's birth, the first thing he touched was his Great Grandfather's sword. He'd carry that sword wherever he went. He basicly used the handle as a pacifier. When he was of age, his father, Gorb, taught his boy the way to use a sword, and not flinging it about like a butter knife. at the age of twenty, Blade quickly grew accustomed to the blade's weight, handling, and size. Soon, after training, his father brought him down to the mines for some work. It was there that Blade would forever be changed.

They had dug too deeply into the mines. They had found a cove of monsters. Blade, being a young fool, immediately charged at them with only a pickaxe, but was soon overwhelmed. The only reason Blade is still alive to this day is because his father began hacking and slashing at the beasts, taking them down one by one, and leading them away. "My son..." Blade's father said. "From the day you were born... When I first laid my eyes upon you... I was... I was proud of you... Never forget that I love you. Take care of your mother. Make Asulon a better place. Be the Dwarf you were born to be..." These were the last Grob ever said to Blade as he led the beasts to the depths of the cavers, and forced Blade to escape. Grob is presumed dead, though no corpse has ever been found to this day. Blade, now thirty, seeks to make up for his past mistakes, instead of wallowing in his self pity. He began digging day in and day out, practicing with a sword when he woke from his slumber, and brought home as many minas as he could, and try to make a place for himself in this world. The only way to do himself justice was to try and win the people's favor, to become a great warrior, and maybe. Just maybe. Become King.

What are your Character's ambitions?: Blade's ambitions is to become a great warrior, one people look up to, and to perhaps even become king... Though, that is a long shot.

What is your character’s favorite tool? A sword, and a very close second is a pickaxe.:

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Blade's biggest talent is his abilities in combat.

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? Blade looks at the Halfling, and laughs a bit. But he sees that he should be more caring... He has no means to protect himself, nor should he against such horrid odds. He draws his blade, and points it at the thugs, and yells at them: "You little morons, why in God's name are you picking on this poor defenseless young man?! Hmm?! You have swords, and obviously money, and you use it to harass other people?! Now, since i'm a generous Dwarf, and don't appreciate killing-" He obviously lied. "I'm going to give you to the count of three to drop your weapons, give this halfling his minas back, and be on your marry way before I GUT YOU AND FEED YOUR ENTRAILS TO THE BLOODY WOLVES! Y'HEAR?! One!"

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?: Blade looks at around the store, and awes at the wonderous things for sale. He spots one thing in particular. One thing Blade has wanted his entire life. A Diamond Sword. He grins. "How much fer the sword, laddy?!" When Blade finds out it's worth more than his life... Well... He obviously was not happy. "Are you kidding me?! That many minas?! You're -nuts-! Diamond is valuable and all but that's absurd! Bah, i'll mine my own diamonds!" Blade barks as he stomps out the door.

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?: Blade looks around the hut. It's been gone abandoned for quite some time. The wood is rotting, and food has gone bad, the only thing left are the dusty ingots. He looks at the Iron bars with great interest, but them looks down at the Golden sword with disgust. "Bah... Who would use such valuable ore for weaponry! It's weak and way too light! Who in this world would do such a-" Blade stops and thinks, then makes an annoyed grunt. "Elves... Bloody Elves... Bah, i'll take the sword to be smelted down! It's still salvageable..." Blade spoke to himself as he places the valuable iron ingots in his backpack, and put the golden sword his his hilt, next to his iron pickaxe. Who knows? Maybe that sword would save his life.

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?: Blade looks up at the man with hungry eyes. "Lad, i'm starving, I haven't eaten in days, and I've nowhere to stay... I.. I'd hate to ask this.. But.. Have you any food, a bed, maybe some water? I don't have any minas right now, but i'd be more than happy to work off your hospitality in any way I can! Please, sir, I just need some help."

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?: Blade strokes his beard as he contemplates the offer, then grins at the sound of reward. "Laddy, you've got yourself a deal!" The Dwarf says, shaking the man's hand. As they go out, Blade keeps his sword close at hand, keeping it drawn, making sure to be on the look out for any bandits. Sure enough, they came, almost like they were expecting them. What they didn't expect was the Dwarf! Blade immediately started to do battle with the horrid bandits, and laughed at their deplorable swordsmanship. With few casualties, and the bandits dead, Blade happily took his reward and was on his marry way, humming a dwarven tune to himself.

Anything else you would like to say?: Nothing else comes to mind.

-Roleplaying needs more explaination on what it means.

-For metagaming its not just knowing only character's information.

-For bio add some form of link to our lore like places e.g. also add what is his current age?

-Skin could be better, not major but recommend asking our lovely server for a nice skin. Do app first then sort this out. Does not like Dwarf-ish.

Well overall its great especally the open response questions' answers, just need to sort these out and could have a bigger chance next time. Please wait 24 hours to re-apply, time starts from this post.
