Full Name: Penn (last name is unknown)
Current Age: unknown (he looks like he is 16)
Sub-race (if any): (no sub-race)
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):

Penn lived in Ager because he either had no or little money at any time. He never knew his parents. People would always come to the small hut he lived in and they would give him spare parts or metal for him to tinker with. They would do this because Penn could build devices that they wouldn't even believe could exist. He was always trying to figure out how to get rid of the strange fog that surrounded the village. When Penn got a bit older he was always called upon to solve problems or get people out of sticky situations. But sometimes Penn would disappear from the city for a short amount of time and then reappear a few days later. Everyone was confused as to where he could go, he was only a child. Whenever they asked him he would simply reply "Out." With a large grin on his face. He was the town problem solver. He always had devices for situations. People started spreading rumors about him. Silly nonsense like: "He's an alien!" or "He's from the future!" Because of his large intelligence at such a young age. One example of when there were problems and Penn was called to help them was when, every day for many weeks a piece of gold would be missing. They asked Penn to figure it out for them and Penn discovered that every day the shopkeeper would report a missing gold piece and ask the authority's to pay him back what he lost so he gained more money. Penn loves adventuring he figured out a way past the fog by going through a secret cave under the mountain range. Penn would constantly travel to different towns. Penn became a nomad by age 12. He would randomly disappear and reappear in different towns and usually when there were problems there. Nobody knew who he was or what his last name was. Some people even wrote small books about him how he always came where he was needed. How he never really used weapons unless he was forced to and he preferred his devices and his words. Some people even thought he was a myth. But Penn has problems too... He is sometimes considered insane for his crazy ideas and plans. Also he always seems to get himself into situations he shouldn't be in, like sneaking into private meetings. Penn was always good at being stealthy. He spent his time as a small child learning the different languages. Know he knows them all!
Ambitions for the Future: He just wants to go where the wind takes him. He always liked to help people. He just wants to see the whole world maybe even the universe (even though he knows he can't see the whole universe).
Personality: Penn is quirky...in a good way. He always makes rash decisions but things usually turn out fine in the end. He is a bit crazy and he is always curious. Penn always seemed so laid back and carefree about everything even if you put a crossbow to the side of his head. He could always make a funny remark even in the bleakest times.
Skills: He is stealthy, a good inventor, an amazing problem solver, he can convince people to do things using only his words. He is also great with daggers but he prefers not to use them.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): He wears raggedy clothes like leather over a white wool shirt. He has brown hair and brown eyes.

Any other details you wish to share about your character: He is very like-able  But he wishes he had a friend to travel with. Penn's age is unknown but he looks very young, like he is 16. So he just tells people he is 16.
 

[b]Open-Response-Questions
 

[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.

 

____

[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?

 

Answer:

 

I saw the figure stealthily making his way towards the emperors palace. If his intentions were good he wouldn't have needed to be stealthy I thought. I promised myself I wouldn't get into any trouble I knew this would end horribly if I didn't do something, so I knew I had to do something. I then noticed two guards who's eyes were half open. I saw the stealthy figure was armed with two daggers and the guards had pikes. The guards looked way to sleepy to be able to fight off the figure so I took matters into my own hands. I saw the figure stop and slowly made my way towards him. I slowly slid the figures daggers out of their sheaths. I then backed up and went to the guards. I told them about the figure. The figure saw one of the guards glare at him, and he ran away.

 

[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 didn't know what to do. I was never good with long sword I preferred daggers and bows. I observed that the man must be old and weak so I thought up my options. I could either pointlessly charge at them with a weapon he was unfamiliar with and probably get slaughtered. I could surprise attack them but he would also get slaughtered. So I came to a solution. I told the bandits i had guards making their way towards the area all fully armed and well rested and I would give them 5 gold coins each to leave now. Both of them took the bluff took my whole bag of coins....which wasn't much anyway, and they left. 


[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).

 

Penn: Are you going to just throw out that scrap metal you've got there?

Man: Well i was going to but I can't just give you something for nothing. How much you got?

Penn: I don't have much I come from Ager

Man: Oh boy... let me just see what you have.

Penn: Well that's trash to you isn't it?

Man: Who said it was trash?

Penn: You were about to throw it out I saw you. I can probably make something out of that you won't believe and you were simply going to throw it out.

Man: You know what hows 20 coins?

Penn: 20 coins for something you were going to throw out?

Man: ...fine hows 10

Penn: 7 gold coins and i'll show you a cool trick.

Man: Deal.

Penn: Thank you!

*Penn starts to walk away*

Man: Wait, what was the trick?

Penn: It's how to haggle with a shop owner!

The character idea is interesting but parts of it are unrealistic. Living alone with no parents is difficult to do. As well, he cannot know all of the languages, as indicated in the last sentence of the bio.
