[NOTE: Before you go any further, I attempted to find the stated "Kharajyr" sub-forum, but nothing was there so I went ahead and put in this application to the normal forum post, if this is a mistake, I apologize. I just put in a request for a skin, and will edit the application once I have it taken care of one war or the other, just getting this out there for expediency's sake.]

In-Character Details

Character Name: Sa'Rasha

Character Race: Kharajyr

Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary:

Rasha's birth is surrounded in mystery and (almost)tragic intrigue. Born with traces of the white fur, the sign of relation to the bloodline of the Tlatanni, Rasha was the subject of intense political debates within the Kharajyr noble houses and Priesthood as to what this could mean. After a lengthy investigation by the Priests of the order, it was decided he was simply a freak accident in the otherwise perfect gene-pool of the race.

Before being taken to be discarded, as his impure blood would not be allowed to sully the steps of the hallowed temples, a Noble House looking to enhance their standing using the child's unique identity and image took custody of him, hoping to re-investigate the claims to be of the legitimate bloodline (with ample funding to the Priesthood to ensure positive results). After a few years and failed attempts, they gave up on the child, relegating him to servant work in their household, mainly around taking care of and entertaining their 3 young daughters. Growing up this way, Rasha developed a soft-spoken and reserved personality, often mistaken for being weak and sensitive to antagonistic behavior. This illusion was shattered one night, when in a rage the lord of the house decided he would be rid of the useless child once and for all. The next morning he was found beaten to near death in the garden, the boy and his few belongings long gone leaving barely a trace.

10 years later, that boy begins his journey back to the land of the Kharajyr, unsure of why he wishes to return to the lands that nearly saw him dead...

What are your characters ambitions?: Forging his identity as a free soul.

Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here: TBA - Request Pending

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character:

Male, but feminine looking. Could be easily mistaken for a female from a distance or in the right circumstances. [Yeah yeah, I know what's coming from this one. Get over it. <_<]

Open-Response-Questions

Each question here must be answered with a minimum of one full paragraph, and detail the scene you are given in the way it would happen in roleplay. These questions should be answered in first person. Be detailed, not short.

Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response?

Young Rasha, knowing he is in a strange land, keeps the cowl of his hood pulled over his face, doing his best to walk un-disturbed around the edges of the streets. Lost in thought, he bumps directly into the dwarf, startling himself so much that he ends up sprawled in the dirt at the feet of the merchant. Before the dwarf can so much as look at him clearly, he scrambles to his feet and dashes through the crowded streets and courtyards, ending up in the mouth of an alleyway deep in the city. With a resigned sigh, he begins his slow, aimless walk through the streets, guiltily munching on the fresh bread he grabbed from the merchant's stall.

You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?

Rasha walks slowly and leisurely out under the night sky of Asulon, not noticing the commotion until he is almost right on top of the slowly fuming Orc. As he begins to walk past, he clutches the small Dwarven rune hanging around his neck, a gift from his mentor, and sighs. Spinning on his heel, he lithely positions himself between the Orc and Dwarf, smiling warmly and speaking as sweet and firm as he can "Ah, Reki, the rest of your clan has been looking for you! You're almost late to the celebration, your brothers are just down the road, fresh from the logging camps. If you don't hurry, they'll be very cross, and you know how they can be when they're angry!" Letting loose a soft giggle, he winks to the Dwarf, hoping he understands to go along with the story, before continuing his leisurely pace to nowhere, the ghost of a smile on his lips.

Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?:

Carefully, he helps the old man to his feet, smiling at him while being careful not to bare his fangs, nodding kindly at his thanks and chuckling politely at his joke of being "not as young as I used to be". Taking his own purse out, he dumps out his own meager savings into the pocket of his robe, giving him the bag, now filled with all his gold. He looks around for something to substitute for the man's broken stick, and after seeing nothing, sighs quietly with a smile. He offers the man his shoulder, continuing that smile to him and asking a simple question "Where do you need to be, sir?"
