In-Character Details

Character Name: Doctor Equinox
Character Race: Human Southerner
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:.Equionox was born on the outskirts of Ager, into a middle-class family. His father was a politician, and wanted him to be a politician too, along with is brother. But Equionox thought that politics were boring and dull, he wanted to travel around and adventure. But his father would have none of it. His father forced him into apprenticeship with a politician. It was spring, and that was when the Nawari Gypsies game to the village. When they left, he snuck aboard one of the Caravans and left with them. But when the Gypsies found out that he was with them, they kicked him out and left him by the side of the road. (Normally, they would have taken him in, but this year they were very low on food, and swere extremely angry). He was completely lost by this time, and having never been taught how to survive in the wilderness, he was at a loss of what to do. In a matter of hours he began to feel hungry...

He survived in the woods by eating berries and plants, especially Marsh Reeds which he broke open and ate the sugar out of. He also found melons growing by a small creek, which provided him with water, and he also found some Serpents Stalk. The real problem was monsters. He was never trained about how to survive alone, and had never so much as seen a spider. When the first night came, he heard growling and groaning and was so scared, he climbed up a tree to hide. In this manner he did survive, but aquired a large quantity of bruises and cuts from the branches. One night he fell out of his tree and was attacked by a zombie holding a wooden club in the shape of a sword. He was nearly dead, but he stubled over a tree root and fell face-first into some Tippens Root! He did manage to get up that tree, but when he came down again in the morning and studied the Tippens Root further, he remembered a remedy he had heard about in a book he read when he was young; “Tales of a traveling Alchemist”. He recalled the remedy and brewed it up immediately. The stench was almost unbearable, but he smeared the paste all over his wounds, and by the next few days, he began to heal up. He slowly learned how to craft tools from fallen branches and make ropes from grass wound together, and soon enough he decided to explore and try to find other people to help guide him home.

He travelled a long ways, and finally came across a village, but before he did he got poisoned by a Cave Spider while exploring. He shouted “Help! I need a Doctor!” But when the people came out of their houses, they were not what he expected, they were Kharajyr! He got treated by the local doctor but the doctor told him he should not leave for about 2 months before he fully recovered. He was impressed by the skill of the Kharjyr, they build him a small mud-brick hut in a matter of seconds. He decided he wanted to know more about the healer's remedies, so he apprenticed himself to the doctor. The healer, who said his name was Ja'Serin, taught him how to make potions with herbs and plants. He also taught him how to deal with monsters, and how to catch fish and mine. When the two months were up he decided to finish his apprenticeship and become a full-fledged doctor so his father could not force him to become a politician again. In another year, his apprenticeship was complete exept for one thing. Ja'Serin said it was a village custom and not used anywhere else, but he would have to swear this oath to become a Doctor:

“I take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to my ability and my judgment, the following Oath and agreement:

To consider dear to me, as my parents, him who taught me this art; to live in common with him and, if necessary, to share my goods with him; To look upon his children as my own brothers, to teach them this art; and that by my teaching, I will impart a knowledge of this art to my own sons, and to my teacher's sons, and to disciples bound by an indenture and oath according to the medical laws, and no others.

I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.

I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel.

But I will preserve the purity of my life and my arts.

I will not cut for stone, even for patients in whom the disease is manifest; I will leave this operation to be performed by practitioners, specialists in this art.

In every house where I come I will enter only for the good of my patients, keeping myself far from all intentional ill-doing.

All that may come to my knowledge in the exercise of my profession or in daily commerce with men, which ought not to be spread abroad, I will keep secret and will never reveal.

If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all humanity and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my life.” That was the Doctor's Oath. After that, he said goodbye to Ja'Serin, and left for home with a map. But when Equinox got home, he found his parents sick with The Blood-Spot Plague, and his brother nowhere to be seen. He tried and tried to cure them, but it was of no use. They were dead, and he was also infected. He managed to cure himself, but the spots on his skin remained, an everlasting reminder of his faliure. His entire family gone, as well as most of his settelment, he swore it would never happen again, and began to wander around aimlessly, always trying to improve his medicene, and find a better cure.

What are your characters ambitions?: Equinox wants to be able to cure any wound. He nobody to ever die of disease again, but most of all, he wants to find happieness, he wants to see the world, he wants to find out why the gods made it so people must die, he wants to find why the gods made it so people live, he wants knowlage. He is also a friend of the Kharajyr and wants them to be more accepted in the world, and no longer be treated like outcasts and scum.

Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here: I am having a bit of trouble with that, but perhaps this link will suffice:

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character: He is 54 years old, and 5 feet 9 inches tall. He weighs 180 LBS. He is uncomfortable speaking with Orks, Dwarfs, and even other humans, because he has spent so much time away from them. He also blames the other races for spreading the Plague that killed his family. He eats all kinds of plants, but the only type of meat he will eat is fish.

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 walk over to the dwarf, and see he is selling small rocks, bits of copper and iron, and some marble. He does not look healthy. I say; “You are too old to still be mining, and you are not healthy enough to be out in the crowd, take these to help you.” I give him a potion and some money.

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 walk up to to the Ork and inquire “Why are you threatining this Dwarf? What did he do to upset you?” The Ork rumbles in reply “Dat stupid Dwarf gave me some fake gold for my knife!” The Dwarf breaks in: “Y'a damn lie'n Ork scoom! A've ne'er done any'in o' da sort!” I calmly point down at the knife in the Dwarf's belt and inquire “What is that then?” to which the Dwarf says “Its me oun dagger! I di'nna get it from heem!” I ask the Ork to show me the fake gold, and he complies. The evidence is now stronly pointing in the favour of the Ork. I then tell the Dwarf “The evidence is against you now. The only fair way to settle this now is for you (I point at the Ork) to give the Dwarf the fake gold.” “And you (points at the Dwarf) give him the dagger.” “Does that seem fair?” The Ork nods in agreement, but the dwarf shouts out in protest “Fair? Thats bare-handed robbery that is!” “I have no love for Dwarfs, nor for Orks. So you can either do as I say, or get torn into bits by that Ork.” The dwarf slowly nods his head, and I leave.
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 walk over to the man and ask “Are you hurt?” “No, im just fine” says the man. I give him my walking stick and help him pick up the coins. Then I ask “Why is one as old as yourself working? Why does your wife or son not do it?” “Because my wife died last year, and my son is ill with Bo'dank, so it is I that must buy medicene.” “I am a Doctor, and I have supplies. Bring me to your son, and I will cure him for no fee.” “Alright, if you say so.” He brings me to his house, and I instantly smell the cheese-like smell of Bo'dank. “Take these herbs, and grind them into paste together. Then eat it. I would recommend mixing it with Mushroom Stew, that will make it taste a little better.

Denied.

 

Reason(s):

 

In your biography you described that the Kharajyr helped him and that a Ja', or Priest, learned him how to be a doctor. This doesn't make any sense since the Kharajyr distaste most other races apart from Dwarves and High Elves. Also, Ja's are not doctors, they are priests.

 

Expand on your first Open Response Question, it is rather small.
