In-Character Details

Character Name: Charles Smallriver

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: Charles Smallriver is a human who lived by a lake in a small shack. He lived mostly isolated from the rest of the world, subsisting on whatever he could gather, hunt, or fish for.

His small and tranquil world was shattered one day when royalty travelled near his forest and he caught the princess's eye.

She demanded that he was to be married to her; and poor Charles was scared out of his mind. He fled from the forest by canoe at midnight the day of the wedding. He is now lost and has no real direction in life.

He is 27 years of age and around 6 feet 5 inches. He has messy brown hair and blue eyes.

He is a timid man who backs down to most fights and has little or no understanding of society or anything outside his isolated life. Charles was fully educated, graduating from a small school down the main path by his forest; but sunk into reclusion once his fiancee was murdered.

What are your characters ambitions?: To somehow restore his normal life by any means necessary and to avoid the marriage he has fled so far to leave.

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

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: He is terrified of royalty and authority.

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? Well, as scared as I am of others, if I had the knowledge of this I could not will myself not to help out; not to mention his wares could be of use to me.

I walk up to him and take a deep breath; "Here I go", I think. Okay, it's less scary then I think. All of these goods are affordable; let's think, okay I could probably use a bow, and maybe a sword? I reach for the silver coins in my pocket, I drop two onto the counter and that's enough for him, all done, I'm in a cold sweat now; I'm such a coward.

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? Oh no, this is bad; really bad, I can't not help him but I can't help him either. Okay, now or never. I steady my aim and shoot a warning at the two; they break up and the orc is after me; I'm running now.

I know that I'll get tired before it does; so i stop short; the poor thing keeps running and crashes onto the road. I run up a tree and he tries to shake me down. My grip isn't exactly made of steel, but I think I can hold on.

I can't hold my aim for a deadly bow shot, so I drop my sword and it falls on the orc's head and kills him.

So I just run down the road not bothering to grab it.

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?: I don't dare think of it, I help the man up and sneak some gold into his pouch so he could afford better care.

I leave, but keeping watch with my bow so no scum can hurt him or take advantage of his age; and it's safe; I continue my journey.

• Metagaming definition is a little vague.
• Powergaming definition is inaccurate.
• Biography contained no server lore.
• ORQs are oddly phrased, try putting them in the past-tense. Like it's telling a story.
