Full Name:

    Anunir (or Aan'allein)

Current Age:

    74

Sub-race (if any):

    wood-elf

Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):

    Anunir is a Wood Elf with blonde hair and blue eyes. He usually wears fancy clothing and black, veil-like scarf is always tied around his neck, hiding a scar from a noose. His parents are minor lords in Sylvenor, however after a political disagreement he left his home to seek more like-minded elves at the bardic college of ArmaLuna. Before he made for ArmaLuna, he decided to travel a while, gain experience and inspiration so as to be on the same level as the types of people he hoped to find there. During his travels he formed friendships and rivalries, but nothing ever lasted and eventually he would move on once again. 

    One night, while he was staying in a small human village, a scream cut the night,then abruptly ended, and later a woman was found with an arrow in her throat. The villagers blamed Anunir, saying that only an elf could have made that shot, and that none of the villagers would do such a thing so it must have been him. The next morning, he was hanged. As he felt the life leave his body, suddenly an arrow shot clean through the rope. In a rush of adrenaline, he fled the town, jumping from the top of the wall into the trees, and passing out a few hundred blocks away.

    When he came to, an elfmaid was standing a few feet away making him some mushroom soup. She explained that she had caught the human woman lusting after her husband, and in a fit of jealousy had killed her. The Elf woman seemed quite shaken, and clearly regretted what she had done. when she heard the commotion and saw that Anunir was being blamed, she knew she could not let a fellow elf be killed for her mistake. After this he decided he'd had enough of adventuring for now, and since all of his stuff was still in the inn, he accepted the bow and arrows, food, and torches she offered him and set out for AlmaLuna.

    To have the chance to philosophize with like minds.

    strong-willed, sympathetic, curious.

[b]1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react?[/b]

 

Answer:

    I step out of the trees and shout "Hey! what's going on here?"

        -the little elf girl runs over to me, in tears, and hides

        behind me without a word.

            I menacingly glare at the High elves, daring them to make

            a move.

                -they turn and head back into the woods, and I hear

                laughter as they start to get farther away.

                    Shaking my head in disgust, I take the little

                    girl home, and buy her some sweets to make her

                    smile.

                -They glance nervously at each other, then advance

                toward me, making exaggerated gestures of confidence.

                    I begin to slowly draw my sword from its sheath

                    baring the blade bit by bit. When it's about

                    halfway out, they lose their nerve and turn back

                    to the forest. I sheath my sword and, shaking my

                    head in disgust, I take the little girl home, and

                    buy her some sweets to make her smile.

        -the little wood elf tries to fight back, using my disruption

        to keep them distracted and striking at one of the bullies.

        They take this as provocation and begin to retaliate.

            I launch myself into the middle of the group, grabbing the

            small wood elf and using my momentum to propel us to the

            far side of the clearing. I then flee into the forest with

            the child and make sure he finds his way home.

 

[b]2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?[/b]

 

Answer:

    I help the old man to an old tree stump where he can sit, then collect all of his coins into an empty coin purse and give that to him. "wait here," I say as I move into the woods, returning a few minutes later with a firm stick and handing it to the man. he thanks me as he moves off into the woods.

 

[b]3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).

 

Answer:

    I step up and say "Hail, friend."

        "Hello" he replies, "and welcome to my little business. a fine elven warrior such as yourself must surely want for arrows, no? well, it just so happens that today is your lucky day! I have plenty of arrows, and none too expensive either. If you'd care to make a purchase…" he gestures at his wares.

    "well as it happens I do need arrows… alright. name your price."

    "Arrows are 18 minas a stack, friend."

    I pull out my emptiest coin purse and, after digging through it, say "I'm sorry, I only seem to have fifteen minas. will that suffice?" 

    "I suppose," he replies. I give him the money, and put the arrows into my quiver, tucking the empty coin purse in with the rest of my money.

Denied

 

 

I can see you've put effort into this and kept on going through several denials, yet I'm going to have to deny you once more:

 

1.  Your defintions are rather short and vague. Could you please expand upon them and perhaps add an example of meta-gaming?

 

2.  I feel as though your Open Response Questions need to be worked on. To me, they seem a little short. Remember, the more detail you can put into them, the better. (Just don't go overboard)

 

 

Pretty close, but these two portions of your application shouldn't be skimped on.

Having said this, please wait twenty four hours before trying again. This will give you time to think and to improve on your application. Should you have any questions about your application or if you'd like some help, please feel free to send me a message. I'm always happy to help!

Good luck on your next application!
