Full Name: Adla Bramannen
Current Age: Prir seasons (3 seasons / 21 years)
Sub-race (if any): Cave Dwarf
Clan (if any):
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):[/b] Adla was born to Stor and Gladje Bramannen in the city of Karik. He had no brothers, as his  father, Stor, died in a mining accident when he was less than a season old. His mother never remarried, and eventually abandoned him. After his mother abandoned him; his uncle,  Vanlig Bramannen, raised him and taught him to be one of the best miners in the city of Korik.
As he lived with his uncle he was constantly outshining his cousins. Adla's uncle began to favor Adla over his own children, and this caused a great rivalry between Adla and his cousins. Then, one day Adla found his first diamond, and his cousins grew very jealous. They then stole his diamond in the night and sold it in the market. After this event, Adla never trusted his cousins and eventually moved out when he was just over tveir seasons old (2 seasons/14 years). To this day, Adla still lives in the dwarven capital of Karik.
Ambitions for the Future: Adla hopes to get scores of diamonds and start his own tavern in the future. Adla loves a good ale, almost as much as he loves a diamond.
Personality: Adla is a kind and honest dwarf, and above all wishes to maintain his honor. Adla believes that, without honor, a dwarf is as good as Ibleeses.
Skills: Adla has always had a passion for literature. He admires works such as The Fall of Kal'Urgan. Along with this passion, Adla is also a very skilled miner. He once found diamond within an hour of mining.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Adla is a muscular and red-bearded dwarf. http://i.imgur.com/MGrejq4.png
Any other details you wish to share about your character: Adla's name means "noble" or "knight"

Open-Response-Questions
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.
____

1. Whilst mining deep in the undergrounds of Kalos you see a large deposit of diamond ore at the other side of the ravine you are on. There is a very thin rock bridge that looks precariously unstable,but it is the only way to access the deposit. What do you do?

Answer: Walk over to the bridge and then carefully attempt to cross. If I do not fall, I mine the deposit of diamonds and then quickly head back to the surface to store away the precious gems.

2. You are sitting in the local tavern with a large pint of ale in your hand - sitting nearby you is a rather young dwarf whom is clearly going through a bad time. He is crying to himself, and clutching a small wooden hammer toy. In the other corner of the room two shady dwarves are sitting whispering to each other and pointing occasionally at the dwarf. They stand up, one with a small dagger in his hand and begin to approach the young dwarf. What do you do?

  Answer: Continue drinking my ale unless the situation becomes dangerous to my or somebody else's help. If the older dwarves aren't bringing harm to anyone, I shouldn't stop drinking my ale.

3. Whilst wandering through the Dwarven Caverns you hear a voice call out to you; “Oi, ye’! C’mere n’ get ye’rself an ale!”. You spin on your heel and see a heavily bearded bar-owner looking at you -a huge grin on his face, and a mug of ale in his hand. How do you react?

Answer: Go straight over to the bar-owner and ask for an ale!

Under Review

Your Application Has Been:

You show great promise, and I strongly suggest you make another application.

 

Reasoning:

-Your power-emoting definition isn't quite right, look into that with more detail.

-The dwarves no longer live in the city of Karik. They live in Kal'azgoth

-Your bio seems a bit too cliche: Don't just be the everyday dwarf who drinks ale and mines. Think of a really strong backstory that influences a dark side in your character, or a good side.

-Your ORQs need to be more than a sentence each. Describe in real detail what your character would do!

 

Again, you show good potential with your knowledge of the city names, and PM me with any questions you have.
