In-Character Details

Character Name:Jim Bian

Character Race:Human

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:

Humanity is a race founded on heroes. On their actions, their personalities, and the stories of their adventures. People say heroes are born, not made. That only those whose destiny has been foretold by mystics and soothsayers can become such, that they are the shining stars of our race.

Others see the real truth.

Jim, born to an average middle-class family, in an average city, was born a shy child. Being smaller than the other children kept him from competing physically most of the time, leading him to learn how to out-wit them rather than out-run them. His blue eyes, giving an impression of innocence, slowly took on the appearance of icy calm and deep-contemplation he was known for in his early days. Choosing a life of books and philosophy compared to the innocence of other children, he grew up fast. Keeping small circles of friends, he eventually grew to shed his childhood isolation and become just another everyday, lazy teenager... except in one regard. Growing up, while his styles, tastes, and attitude changed on a whim, a single dream remained steadfast to his heart: to be accepted into the Rangers Guild. Thus, on the eve of his 19th birthday, he left his home to wander the land, hoping to find his way into the ranks of the men and women he viewed as heroes, but also to explore and find his own life. He is trying his hardest to keep in mind his relative naivety of the world at large.

What are your characters ambitions?: To learn his way in the world

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

-= Wears a woodland outfit, a parting gift from his family =-

Male, but smaller and lither than most. Could be easily mistaken for a female from a distance or in the right circumstances. Find out the rest. [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 Jim, knowing nothing of this new place, 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?

Jim 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 to not bruise the old man, 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?"
