In-Character Details

Character Name: Kairn Stormborn.

Character Race: Dwarf.

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:

Kairn Grandaxe is 323 years of age, according to the cycle of the humans. He stands fairly tall for a dwarf, at 5 foot 5 inches. this is would go largely unnoticed by humans and elves, but it causes Kairn to stick out in the fashion of a "discolored stone." His eyes are green, and his hair is a dark red color, slightly unusual, but not unheard of for a dwarf of the stony peaks of asulon.

Kairn is the only son of Dagvar Stormborn, a dwarf who was exiled from the mountains while Kairn was still a beardling. Dagvar was a petty thief, and it was questioned as to what would become of the boy. In the end, Kairn was allowed to stay, and grew to be a promising scholar in service to the Dwindling Stormborn clan. Kairn Stormborn is unlike the stereotypical mountain dwarf. He prefers studying ancient texts to crafting a noblemans axe. This dwarf would wish to see the return of dwarven society to it's former glory, though he intends to do it through the shadows, rather than on an open battlefield. Kairn is scarcely an adult by dwarven standards, and often refered to by his elders as "the largest beardling in the mountain range." the only trait that keeps him from appearing too different from his kinsmen is his love of food. Of all the scholars that have ever blesssed clan Stormborn with their achievements, Kairn is the most adept in the culinary arts, dispite his young age. While he may not be able to hunt and forage for meat and berries under the open sky like other dwarves in the clan, he finds joy in the preparation of feasts, and makes sure to eat more than his fair share of it.

If any two words can sum up Kairn Stormborn, they are Cunning, and Greed. Not the common greed held by most dwarves, a deep want for gold and jewels, but a lust for knowledge, and a hunger for the unknown. This Hunger can never be sated, and so he spends long hours at desks, and libraries, trying to glean as much information as the halls will provide.

What are your characters ambitions?: The persuit of forbidden knowledge, and the unification of the dwarven clans into a single governing body.

Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here: To assure that I don't mess up again, i'll link the skin aswell. Sorry for the inconvenience! The skin can be found here: http://www.minecraftskins.com/skin/708789/gloin-the-dwarf/

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: No, I believe that the biography covers everything I wished to state.

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 approach the lowly worker, whose wares are little more than old furs and battered leather. I exchange a short greeting as I bend to examine one of the newer helmets which litter his stall. Kairn: "Greetins', fellow earth dweller. What brings you this far from home?" Vendor: "Work in the fortresses and holds is fleeting, and I have no strength to mine." The vendor holds up one arm, and it is scarcely more than a stump, covered in a metal sheath. Kairn: "Most unfortunate, I am Kairn, of clan StormBorn." I thrust out my hand, and the vendor is quick to grasp it with his working appendage.

"I am Stedren...Though I do not have a clan to call my own." Kairn: "And why is that? Every dwarf comes from somewhere. Stedren:" Aye, but my village found in by a river bank, cold and alone. With no one to claim me, I simply went by my first name, which I was given by the townsfolk." Placing the helm down, and looking at my pocket watch, I realize that I am late for a meeting with an elder colleague at the local tavern. Kairn:" I am sorry to cut this short, friend, but I must make haste to find someone!" Placing a small bag of Minas on the table, I run through the market, and make my way to my desired location. I give no time to see the vendors reaction.

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?

Without revealing myself, I quickly walk off the road. Once I am under the cover of the forest, I am able to sneak forward through the under brush. Orc:"BAAH! you lousy dwarves'll pay for what you been doin to mah tribe." Dwarf: "Once by clan hears of your treachery, we'll be back to gut the rest of you for raiding our farms." The dwarf begins to cough blood, and immediately collapses onto the road. The orc lets out a wary cry, and begins to walk towards the fallen dwarf. thinking quickly, I grab the nearest rock I can find, and ready myself.

As I am doing this, the dwarf begins to shiver, and focuses all his energy on grabbing a nearby dagger head from the side of the road. As the Orc stands above the seemingly defenseless dwarf, I hurl the rock with all my might. It sails through the air, and hits the orc squarely in the shoulder. Orc:" OWW, who...threw...THAT RO-" His sentence is cut short by a blur of movement. In the blink of an eye, the fallen dwarf managed to rise and stab the orc in his jugular vain, just to the side of his adams apple. As the greenskin stumbles to the pavement, bleeding to death, I make an effort to run to the dwarves aid. He has fallen unconscious, and Various wounds are visible through his tattered armor. It takes a great deal of effort to bandage him up, and remove his armor, but he never wakes up. After several hours of this. I simply get up and run for the nearest settlement.

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 move to help the man to his feet, but he quickly holds up a hand. Oldman:" no, no. That's quite alright, I can handle this myself." I stand awkwardly as the elder fumbles about on the ground, gathers each and every minas as hastily as his body allows. In an attempt to diffuse tension, I speak up. Kairn:" I wouldn'y mind fetching a new walking stick from the forest if you would like one." the old man look up, suspicously. Oldaman: "and what would you be asking in return?" He speaks swiftly, with an air of suspicion. Kairn: "Nothing, I am simply doing a fellow traveler a service." After the man is re-equipped and on his feet, we nod in acknowledgement, and head our separate ways.

(If the word Grandaxe remains in any sense, it is because I'm terrible at proof reading, not intentional.)
