Full Name: Geldion de Zosas
Current Age: 26
Sub-race (if any):
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): As a child, Geldion lived happily in the jungle in a small town was his parents, other people, and Elves. He lived a happy life there, playing with the other children and helping his parents on their farm, but one day, rouge Orcs attacked Geldion's village, killing his parents, along with other townspeople and Elves. Geldion hid under his bed as his house burned down, and after the Orcs left, Geldion climbed out from under his bed, and stared at the charred ruins of his happy little town. He gathered up whatever food and supplies he could find, and started off to find shelter. 
 Geldion was still in the jungle, and it started to rain as he was walking in the night. He climbed up a tree, still crying from the death of his parents, and laid the lying on the wet leaves. An Elf that was climbing through the trees to get to the next treehouse nearby, saw him and took him to the tree house and gave him supplies and healed his burns, then they sent Geldion on his way. Geldion lived in the wild for 15 years, then he found a small human town, and settled down there, and that is where he currently lives. Considering these people to be his new family, Geldion will do anything to protect them, and remembering how the Elves helped him, he'll help anyone one except the Orcs, who he now hates for killing his beloved ones.

[b]Open-Response-Questions[/b]
[i]Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.[/i]
____

[b]1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?[/b]

Answer: I would pull out my bow and follow the figure, and if the figure does anything bad, like trying to kill someone, I would shoot him. If the figure just made his way toward an important place, I would follow him then call the guards, and if he ran then, I would shoot him, and if he stood still, the guards would capture him.


[b]2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]

Answer: I always help others, so I would drive them away from the old man, even if it means risking my life. I would yell at them to get their attention, and shoot at them as they ran towards me, and if they got too close, I would run and take them as far away as I could from the old man, and try to lose them in the jungle.


[b]3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).[/b]

Answer: I help others, so I wouldn't rip the guy off, I'd pay him fairly. I'd also buy some stuff to help others with, like food, armor, potions, and weapons. I would tell him what I'd want to buy, then I'd pay him with a fair price and thank him for the items.

Your application has been...
 

Denied.

 

Expand slightly on both Meta-gaming and Power-emoting definitions or add examples of your own creation.

 

Having dead parents killed by Orcs, villages destroyed by Orcs and characters seeking revenge against Orcs are some of the three biggest clichés seen in applications. Please make the bio more original.

 

The Open Response Questions need to be expanded slightly. They should contain a single story and not have multiple options, choose how you think the situation would unfold and what your character would do.
 

 

A good first application and you seem very interested in getting involved, so I look forward to your next attempt.

 

Wait at least 24 hours after this post to reapply. Send me a PM if you have any questions.
