In-Character Details

Character Name: Doctor Allen

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:

Allen is a nineteen yearold male. He has black hair, brown eyes. He is tall and slender in his appearence. Allen stands at about six feet and with 120 pounds. With such a light weight and thin figure, it is a wonder how he is still alive. This light weight makes him swift/dexterous but also very frail. So frail that when he takes a single powerful blow, it can knock him out of a fight for awhile. Though he lacks in strength, he can make up for it with his intellect and knowledge on the strange red material (redstone). He can get violent went when angered but that seems to never happen. More and more often, you see him start more fights indirectly but still manages to avoid ever getting into physical conflicts through one way or another. He is also very eccentric.

His history begins strangely at age nine. As the sun begins to set, Allen wakes up on warm beach sand on the coast. He has no recollection of what happened the day before. When thinking back, he has no memory about his life at all! He retains things such as language and his education but nothing such as names. He begins to look for information about himself other than his first name, the only thing he could remember about his life. Finding a backpack next to where he collapsed on the beach, he runs over to open it. Enclosed is a burnt book with unreadable content, various pages appearing to be plans thrown together, and some food and water. With nothing else to do but continue to search information, he continues on and eventually finds a path leading away from the beach into a forest.

The path lead to a town well placed on a bluff high above the ocean waves. This is going to be where he spends most of his life. When going into town, it seemed no one could recognise him. It was clear this was not his home. It was not to hospitable either considering there was three attempts to pick his empty pockets. He eventually made his way to a building that was somewhat near the edge of the bluff. It was a local library. It was also unattended. Perhaps it was closed? Being the most abandoned place in town, it was also the safest. Allen decided to make his home here.

Having finally settled in, Allen survived the same way the town thugs did: cat burglary. He took what he could from the town and sold it for necessities. Eventually Allen needed something to keep him busy. when he looked around him to see a vast collection of books. This is how he earned his nickname Doctor. He read all the books he could and eventually grew his knowledge to that of a royal scholar. He applied this knowledge into many creations which he kept in a cave on the cliff side. This was his workshop.

The town that became his home eventually was the thing that drove him away. The authority of this area decided to crack down on the scum of the village. They ordered the immeadate capture and execution of the lawbreakers, no matter how severe the crime was. The library which was his home was raided. He had to make a quick escape. He made is way down to his secret cave and grabbed everything he could and put it in his backpack. The guards who quickly entered drove him back. His last resort, diving into the water. Allen was presumed dead. Enclosed in the backpack was everything he could grab: the burnt book, some of his plans and the plans he had originally, and some food and water.

Awaking on a coast the next day, trying to forget about what happened to his home, he proceded to a road nearby it led to the Cloud Temple of Asulon.

What are your characters ambitions?:To find the secret of the original plans and the burnt book and wherever this new place takes him could open up more.

Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here:A link to my skin

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character:His experiences made Allen learn what it means to have nothing and that nothing in life is truly free(equivelent exchange: you must sacrifice something to gain something). It also made him be more resentful toward authority. He also does not go into things without a plan up his sleeve.

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?

Allen, knowing how that feels goes up to see the shop keeper. Though he himself is also new to the city, he would attempt to make small talk with the shop keeper, trying to make him more comfortable around a place that may not be too welcoming. After befriending the dwarf, Allen would seek out business for him by some more dirty tactics he learned-sabotage. Allen would sabotage nearby vendors who are already successful and spread bad word. Though it is something that may leave others with less, he believes in equivalent exchange(you must sacrifice something to gain something).

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?

Hating an unfair fight, Allen walks over. Stamping his foot against the ground to get the orc's attention, He slips a small dagger to the ground and kicks it towards the dwarf, beyond what the tall orc can see. The orc turns and warns to stay out of this or he will make Allen the next victim. Doing what would seem one of the least sensible things to do in this situation, he begins to mock the orc's funny way of speaking by using the accent in a lame tone. The orc had heard enough and turned to face his new target. The orc begins to prepare a powerful blow as Allen looks at the dwarf, winks, and says "I dare you, deliver the final blow" The orc moves into attack and the dwarf backstabs him. Allen tells the orc to not attack with such force without expecting to feel the same force back. As he walks away, the orc manages to complete his attack though weaker. Allen cringes, quickly recovers, and leaves the scene before the orc can get back up.

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?:

As the man falls to the ground, Allen clocks his head and looks down. He gets down, near the man's level. A pause occurs as the man is waiting for Allen to do something. Allen just simply continues to ask what he was before. The man calls Allen an imbecile for his complete ignorance of the situation. After another short pause, the Doc says, "You aren't exactly in the position to be insulting people" He then procedes to go to a nearby branch, picks it up, and brings it back to the man still on the ground. The man begins to thank Allen as he gives a price for the stick and assistance (not a heavy price but a rather small portion of the minas seen on the ground. The man grunts and agrees seeing no other way of getting up soon. Allen gathers up the minas, helps him up, and collects his "reward" The man finally says farewell in an annoyed tone as they walk away.

Thanks for reading and giving me the tips for the revision!

The only reason you are denied is because of the reference to your character's past in 'cat burglary' in your biography. Although it is possible your character could have done this in the past, it is not allowed for him to enter Asulon with a villainy that you do not have a VA for. So if you give a reason he ended his villainous ways, then there is no doubt in my mind you'll be accepted.
