Complete the following biography
on your character

 

 

Full Name:  Aerathorn Winterstorm

 

Current Age:  31

 

Sub-race (if any): Northerner

 

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

 

Aerathorn, son of Argon came to the
world of Asulon a stormy winter night so cold it went to the bones. Screams,
blood and tears filled the night only to be replaced by love and sorrow, because
the same cold winter night that blessed Argon with a son, also claimed the life
of his wife.

 

As a young Northerner Aerathorn
quickly adapted to the absence of a mother and the harsh northern lands, but
nothing could prepare him for what yet to come. As the nights grew longer and
colder Aerathorn at the age of 25 got lost in a storm while hunting.  Several days and nights went by before he finally found his way to the cabin he called home only to find that the same
dark, cold winter storm that claimed his mother so many years ago, had now
taken his father aswell.

 

Ambitions for the Future:

 

Aerathorn has lost everything he knew and held dear, so now he wanders looking for a new home and purpose.

 

Personality:

 

As Aerathorn grew up alone with his
father, he is a shy person and doesn’t easily lay trust upon others, though he
was taught moral codes by his father and will often stop to help those in need
on his journey across the land.

 

Skills:

 

He has been taught to wield a sword,
to hunt and he has a sense for mining and is a skilled carpenter.

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 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?

 

I immediately contact the guards and
tell them there is a mysterious figure around the Emperor’s palace. As I my
father taught me how to wield a sword and moral codes, I draw my sword but I don’t
attack the person straight away. This is a job for the guards but I will make
myself available if my assistance is needed.

 

1. 
   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?

 

 

I draw my sword in the name of the
justice and moral my father taught me and give the bandits a warning to stand
down, leave this place to never return!  If they don’t comply I will strike down with strength
and fury which like they have never seen, to free the man from the shackles of
fear and oppression.

 

 

 

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).

 

Aerathorn’s iron sword was damaged
in battle with the horrible undead as he wandered through the northern lands.
The memories still haunt his dreams, and in the coldest of nights, he can smell
the ashes his former home had been reduced to.

 

Aerathorn, not used to the city
life, stands at a distance observing the customers approaching the stall. He’s
hoping to learn some insight in how a trade goes down in a place like this.
Aerathorn was used to trading items or simple make what you needed from
scratch, but this more advanced form of trade and currency is a new experience
for him.

 

After some time the shopkeeper takes
notice to Aerathorn’s presence and observing posture.

 

Shopkeeper: Hello there Northerner, can I interest you with something
this fine morning?

 

Aerathorn is surprised that the
shopkeeper guessed he was from the north.

 

Aerathorn: *clears his throat* Yes, uhmm, my sword is in need of repair
and I was wondering if you could help me in that regard?

 

The shopkeeper looks at Aerathorn
with confused eyes.

 

Shopkeeper: First time here I take it?

 

Aerathorn: What gave me away?

 

 

Aerathorn says with a smile on his
face.

 

Shopkeeper: Well if you were you would know that I’m not a blacksmith
and I’m afraid I’m unable to help with you damaged sword. Besides, I thought
you Northerner’s were used to crafting and fixing things yourselves?

 

Aerathorn: Aye, but I’m afraid the art of blacksmithing has eluded me.

 

 

Shopkeeper: How come? Didn’t your father teach you?

 

 

The shopkeeper jokes.

 

Aerathorn becomes silent, staring at
the shopkeeper for a few seconds, than at the ground before he says.

 

 

Aerathorn: If you can’t help me, can you point me in the direction of
someone who can?

 

 

Shopkeeper: Now, now, I may be unable to repair your current sword, but
I am willing to offer you this at the right price.

 

The shopkeeper opens a chest behind
his stall and pulls out a steel sword.

 

Shopkeeper: Now, this is straight from the best blacksmith in town! His
steel is legendary and durable! So what do you say? For 120 minas this fine
piece of craftsmanship can be yours to wield!

 

Aerathorn takes a good look at the
sword the shopkeeper now held before him and though he doesn’t have much money
to spend, he is intrigued and starts to discreetly go through his pockets hoping
to find enough. Aerathorn counts silently, ….103, 104, 105, and 106. He curses
as he realizes he doesn’t have enough.

 

Aerathorn: It seems that your price reaches higher than my pockets, how
about 70 minas?

 

Shopkeeper: hmm, I will be willing to lower it to 100 minas.

 

Aerathorn: I guess the blacksmith will be willing to repair my current
sword for lower price than that, so if you point me in the right direc.

 

The shopkeeper interrupts Aerathorn.

 

 

Shopkeeper: That won’t be necessary, to be a newcomer here in the
capital you sure seem to have adapted the merchant trade quickly. How about 80
minas? My best and final offer.

 

Aerathorn collects 80 minas in his
hand and gives it to the shopkeeper

 

Aerathorn: pleasure doing business with you!

 

Shopkeeper: May it serve you well on your travels and yet hopefully, you
won’t need it.

A tremendous first attempt to join! There are only a few small things you need to work out and you'll be good to go!

• In your biography, you mention that you were in Asulon and nothing about the happenings of Elysium and Kalos, and now, Anthos. I would suggest reading up on current happenings. Here is a forum regarding human role-play - http://www.lordofthecraft.net/forum/index.php?/forum/18-human-roleplay/  Here is the human wiki page - http://www.lordofthecraft.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=Humans
• Everything else is quite good, I get a pretty good look at your character and his emotions. I like your definitions for metagaming, power gaming, and roleplaying.
• Lastly, you need to tweak your first two ORQ's. For example, in your second ORQ, you mention that you raise your blade and attempt to fight the bandits, yet you never give any detail on the fight or it's outcome. For the first one, add some simple dialogue to make the situation more vivid. The last ORQ is spot on, I love the use of thoughts, actions, and conversation.

You may re-apply in 24 hours! Feel free to PM me if you require any assistance. Good luck!
