During my childhood my family used to live in the walls of the Elder Tree. My dad was a merchant selling anything he could to keep us from having to live in the Wilds. When I was 22 I left my home and went to live in the city of D'hara, where I could be equal to the rest instead of having to live in the undersides of magnificent trees.

Appearance:Medium length blonde hair. Slightly muscular build because of having to forage and kill in the forests. Leather pants and quiver and bow from the forest.

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?: Walks up to the shopkeeper happily. Scans through the goods for buying. Sees many unbuyable goods but seems to see one more object. "What is that?" "That is a amulet I found in the Wilds." "May I buy it?" "Well, if you really want some cruddy amulet found in the woods." Pays him 20 Minas in exchange for the amulet. Shakes his hand. "Good day sir!" Walks away.

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?: Stops quickly and is in shock. Realizes, and sneaks behind a nearby tree. Thinks about the circumstances and jumps out from behind the tree. "Hey there!" Runs towards the Orc. Orc turns around and throws a punch. "Ah!" Get hit to the side and to the ground. Orc runs at me. I stand up and run. The dwarf runs off with his items. The Orc keeps chasing me. I run farther than the Orc into the woods and hide in a tree. He is searching the woods. I jump down onto the Orc choking him. The Orc flips me over him and kicks me. I grab my chest in pain. The Orc walks up to me. I kick his legs out from under him and run to the nearest city.

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?: Rushes to the mans side and helps him up. Puts his arm over my neck and sits him on a log. Grabs his bag of Minas and puts them all back in. Gives them to him. He says "Thank you" He starts to walk towards Malinor. I put his arm around my neck once again and help him to Malinor.

Your application has been...

Denied.

Did not wait 24 hours before reapplying.

Expand on the backstory part of the bio, it's a little too short still.

Expand on the first and third ORQs.

This was a difficult decision, as you're definitely close to acceptance, but I feel like just a little more detail in these places will give you more direction and guidance moving forward.

Wait at least 24 hours after this post to reapply. If you have any questions feel free to send me a PM.
