Character Name:Will Solsmith

What Race are you? (You may only be Human, Orc, Elf or Dwarf!) :Elf

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race):

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.):I had a dreary childhood. I shall not complain, as I’m sure many would laugh at the thought. Nevertheless, I wasn’t too happy. My life was trapped behind stone walls, doomed to reading and seeing from above, rather than experiencing. I was largely alone, except for my father, who was always busy at work, and the books of the library that were always there. To escape and learn, I would read, for days on end it would seem like. Reading surely seemed to make up half of my childhood. The experiences entailed within the books never filled my craving to bound unshackled and experience life, letting me have a greater understanding.

However, this was not the case. My father had no room to make it otherwise, and he seemed to be thinking of me less and less. I never knew my mother, she left him trapped to his work of the city zoner for another man. I knew my father was a great man, and in his time away from work he would tell me the stories of his youth, where he was a free-man, a great man, and all that he learned. This of course, made me long even more so.

I cannot say I did not learn much in my childhood, but I also learned that you can’t learn more than through experiences. I am Will Solsmith, 212 years old, and I have dedicated myself to experiencing what the world offers, and preparing myself for days of rest, wisdom, and reflection. In the meantime, there is not a man (including myself!) what I may do from one day to the next. I may wander into the forests and run, I may walk to the tavern to have a loud talk with some people whom I have never met. I have acquired friends through my excursions, and all the while I still think of settling down some day and retire with my many experiences.

What are your Character's ambitions?:To learn, become part of a stable community and be a city official.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):His favorite tool is the bow.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?He is talented with the bow.

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format, if you do not know how to acquire one, copy and paste this link into your browser: ( http://tinyurl.com/Lotcscreenshot ):

Other Information about your Character:Considerate, inner thought process mysterious and guarded, calm, calculating, and considerate.

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?*I duck into some shrubbery. I listen in, they are taunting him* I run forth, charging into the halfling, with him over my shoulders. They swing for me, but I slip through unscathed (He got hit on the head, knocked unconcious!) I keep running till we're safe at the guard post. I am greeted to an air of suprise and friendliness. The chief approaches me. "Good work! This thieving brat nicked a hefty sack of gold!" He pays me a portion of money, with people regarding me very well. I smirk. "Well this went well"

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?You sound like you're from Fairville, I was there for quite a while. "Yeah, I used to live right there around the square. Still do! Well, now that I'm a merchant things 've changed." Apt.27? "Yeah that's me!" "I was good friends with your brother, in fact! He told me you were a scamming ass and that that's where my armor went. Now how about I get some compensation or I tell the trader guild." "Well okay"

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?:I would not go as low as stealing. Unless I felt like trying. After realizing no punishment has come for stealing his iron bar, I'd try to confront the owner. When he would never show, I decided to make a game out of it. I would go up to the guards and attempt to turn myself in. It was rare that any would take me seriously. They eventually had enough, and had me meet with the head. He observed the special guild mark on the iron. He asked "Where did you find this?" I led him to the hut, which was now full of stolen goods from the guild storage. We staked him out, and found him. I was rewarded accordingly.

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?I quickly make myself at home, and make friends. We tell stories, and one eventually tells of a trove of knowledge, supposedly lost by the dragon Xandraza. We there decided to team up to find this, on the mans and our combined knowledge. We adventured ad grew close. We never found it, and it turns out the man seemed just to be mad or making stuff up, but oh well, I had soem new friends and knowledge.

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?:I volunteer without hesitation. IBeing very proficient with the bow, I proved extremely helpful. I also helped save a woman, whom I am still friends with, and additionally I found some gold I kept for myself.

Anything else you would like to say?:Woohoo
