In-Character Details

Character Name: Vidian Morflos

Character Race: Elf

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:

When Vidian was born, his parents felt like the happiest people alive, as they thought it would be a miscarriage. As a child, his parents worried for him very much. They were afraid to lose him to the evil of the world. Vidian hated how his parents over-protected him. He always felt like he could take care of himself. He was so wrong. He had ventured out one day to explore the world. He was fascinated by the worlds beauty and detail! When he returned, he smelled the sweet smell of burning wood. He ran home as fast as he could. On his way, he bumped into a mysterious figure dressed entirely in red robes. Vidian did not see his face.. He had ignored it, the biggest mistake he had ever made. When he got to the source of the smell, he was horrified. He saw that his home was on fire. Now, you have to acknowledge the fact that his home was a far ways from any elven city. He didn't mind, because he enjoyed the solitude. Nobody had even seen the fire, or who started it. Worst of all, his parents had been caught off-guard. They had been roasted alive. Vidian always wondered if the man he had bumped into was responsible for this.

A few years had passed, and Vidian had devoted them entirely in the city library(please note, I do not know if they have libraries so correct me if I am wrong), discovering who the man in the robes was. His friends always thought of it as an obsession. After a few more years of this, he devoted his life to knowledge. He loved studying the outside world, and would often go on "nature walks" outside his home forests.

What are your characters ambitions?: To study nature and to eventually be able to understand it fully.

Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here: As I am horrible with skins, I just downloaded one: http://www.minecraftskins.com/skin/533323/elf/

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: Not much. I want to shape him on the server.

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?

I am now approaching the human city and, what is this? I see a dying dwarf. He looks starved,ill, and near death. I say," Do you need any help? Water, food, anything?" "No, just the coin, if you will." He says with a humble look on his face. I look at his wares and buy what I can afford. He then thanks me. I have to say, I have never seen a bigger and happier smile in my life.

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?

I go out for a midnight stroll in the city. I see some herbs and go to harvest them. As I reach out to pick the herbs, a dwarf falls flat on his face, right in front of me! In shock, I stumbled backwards. I see an unpleased orc. I plead him to stop but he just pushes me to the ground and yells in my face, "STAY OUT OF IT!" This matter does NOT concern you!" I quickly get in my feet, and run looking for the nearest authority. When we return, all we find is the remains of the fight. Dragged dirt and smashed herbs. I describe the appearance of the two to the authorities and the thank me.

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 defenseless man. What does your character do?:

As I watch in horror as the old man falls to the ground, I quickly help him to his feet. I sit him on a nearby log as I go and recover the coins. I keep one for good measure, as I do deserve it for my actions. I return the coins to the man as he thanks me, "Thank you kind man. Oh, and keep the coin you stole." I feel shame as the old man walks away.
