Nikolov stood before the wall, overcome with amazment. Any local would have passed this wall by, it was a small brick wall that divided two fields. But Nikolov was not a local. When he saw this human-built wall, the mason in him saw the humans who built it, designeed it, used it. He saw human architecture at work, in a three-foot-tall wall.

Nikolov is a cave dwarf of about 30 seasons (210 years) of age. He has brown hair and a well groomed beard. He's average for a dwarf, though fairer skined than most cave dwarfs. He is friendly to most, but is known for emotional extremes. Nikolov was raised to be a mason by his father. He was taught the art of dwarven architecture and worked on many projects. His service in the dwarven army exposed him for the first time to other races and cultures. When he left the army, he decided he had to see these other cultures furthur. One day he packed a bag, grabed an axe, and went of to explore the world.

Nikolov Fancies himself as being an anthropologist and explorer, though he barely knows the meaning of either word. He is fastenated by humans and intrigued by elves. He hopes to write books on the races of asulon one day.

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?

Using the halflings cries as noise cover, I sneak behind these "warriors". I kill the first with my axe, splattering his head. The other man begs for mercy. I take his araments and gold, give them to the halfling and then finish him off with my axe. The halfling pleads for his life too, but I take him to the local tavern and buy a round of ale.

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?

"G'day, mah friend. Can I interest ye...I'm down here...can I interest ye in some pelts?" After trading the pelts I have for new boots and a leather knapsack, I bid the man farewell. He stops me, however, and asks if he can make an offer on my iron axe. Axes are very important to me, so I tell him no. He gets offended and a fight breaks out. Next thing I know, we're both drunk in the town inn, as usual.

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?:

No one would leave a sword like that here, this must be a trap. I continue on my way and encounter some mean looking hunters. They say this is their land and I owe them tribute. I tell them of the iron and gold sword and they go to the cabin. When I return later there's nothing left but bones.

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?

Good to see some friendly faces. I do some trading and they give me food and bed. Suddenly I realize that these men are slave traders. They are transporting a group of humans to an orc camp. While they sleep, I slit their throats and let the slaves free, taking what's on the trader's bodys.

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?:

Been a long time since I did any soldiering, and I could use the money. I get my best axe and head out with the group. We meet the bandits on open ground and they attack. They were terrible figthers, and we cut through them in minutes. I take some leather armor (much needed) off a corpse, collect my reward, and buy the first round back in town.

Anything else you would like to say?: I had to erase the font commands because my computer had issue with them, sorry about that.
