Role-playing: The act of acting in character through text, speech or physical actions
Meta-gaming: Using knowledge in game that you character would not know, or behaving in a way that your character would physically be unable to do. Like having knowledge of a conversation from two other elves in a basement, or knowledge of role playing events that your character was no where near. Another example would be scaling a wall in a full suit or armor.
Power-emoting: text expressing actions that is unfair to other players, such as one shot killing blows, or Therro uses dark magic to kill everyone in town.

Full Name: Therro (common translation "cloud strider")
Current Age: 227
Sub-race (if any): Wood Elf
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Like most Elves of his generation Therro's primary language is common. He was raised by his father Hind and his mother Selia in the city of Leumalin. Therro was the only child and was doted by his loving father and mother. He was forbidden to leave the city limits, except when accompanied by his father on spider hunts, who needed the string for the fine quality bows that he crafted. 

 

    Therro was the only Elven child his age. He befriended a Human child named Theodore at the age of 8 and they were inseparable. Theodore was an upcoming artist and taught Therro how to draw intricate lines and patterns, which he quickly adapted into wood carving. Therro carved beautiful paterns into his fathers bows, and drove the price up considerably, earning himself some extra minas.

With the extra coin he bought himself a set of leather armor and hid it from his parents. Using a bow gifted to him by his father, he spent his nights sneaking out of the city and using his archery skills against monsters. Using bones that he salvaged from skeletons he became an avid tamer of wolves, including one that he named shadow step because of his ability to sneak and hide and kill prey from the shadows.

  

   Therro studied his wolves movements and became a master of the shadows, swiftly killing his prey from the canopy or in the darkness of a cave, while all of this unknown by his parents. One day he fell through a hole into a small cave after being struck by an arrow from a skeleton. He was missing for weeks until discovered by a merchant traveling to the city. His parents were grateful for him to be alive, but were furious when they discovered the activities he had been engaging in. They removed much of his free time. When he wasn't working in his father shop, he spent his time in the canopy above the city gazing at the forest, dreaming of returning and becoming one with the wild. 

 

    At the age of 100 Therro left Leumalin and created a small farm in the wild. There he grew wheat and watermelons and built a tree house to remind him of home. He spent most of his time crafting bows, practicing his sword skill, and playing with his wolves. He made regular trips home to visit his parents and the grand children of his old friend Theodore, and told them stories of what a great man and artist there grandfather was. 

 

   Now at the age of 227 Therro now has a deep connection with nature and animals, and only feels comfortable in Elf settlements and cities where they have not destroyed the natural beauty of the landscape.

 

Ambitions for the Future: Strong desire to join the Druids in the Mother Grove of Elandriel. 
Personality: Social, charismatic, cunning and inquisitive. 
Skills: Bow and arrow, sword, swimming, animal taming and breeding, farming, swiftness and stealth.  
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Dirty Blond Hair. Tall for a wood elf, almost the height of a high elf. Scar on his ankle from a failed wolf taming event. Has a tattoo on his left forearm of a drawing of a mother tree that his old friend drew. 
Any other details you wish to share about your character: Does not like lumber farms, or mining. From Therro's incident of falling into the cave he's deeply afraid of underground tunnels, mines and ravines. Any long time exposure to underground would cause extreme anxiety and panic, and he would not willingly enter any underground area. 


1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of older elves are mocking a small elven child. How do you react?

Answer: Therro does not enjoy interfering with the actions of others, but the child reminds him of his old friends grandchildren. He steps out from the shadows with his wolf and startles the three elven males. He recognizes them immediately as High Elves. He steps toward the older of the three approximately 90 years of age, as his wolf growls from behind. " What are you doing here, bothering this young girl?" he says confidently with an authoritative voice. "The three boys stand silent with fear staring at the growling wolf". The young elven girl who had stopped crying pipes up and says "That's my brother! He was teasing me because I can't learn this spell." The young girl goes over and pets the wolf which immediately stops growling and licks the girls face. " Therro looks at the older boy and says " You are acting like young human boys." knowing it would strike a nerve with the High Elven boys. "Go home now, I'm hunting here and I don't want you scaring off my prey." The oldest boy takes the hand of his sister nervously as he stares at the wolf and quickly walks away with his friends. Therro turns around and just before they're out of ear shot he hears the young girl say " Hehe, you were so afraid of that little doggy." 

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?

Answer: Therro quickly scans the area around the man for hostile parties. After he realizes the area is clear he runs over to the old man's side. " Are you alright?". His pet wolf licks the old man's face and there is no response. Therro quickly runs to a nearby stream and collects some water in a leather scrap and pores it into the old man's mouth. The man drinks softly and slowly becomes more and more conscious. After 10 minutes the man becomes fully alert and is offered a piece of bread. Regaining his strength and with Therro's help he steps up. "My coins!" he proclaims. "Not to worry!" Therro says as he uses the piece of leather to fashion the man a new pouch and places the coin in. The old man bows his head with gratitude and says "Thank you son, I don't know what I would have done without you. I foolishly tried to make it to town without stopping for water. Even an old Dwarf like me can be as stubborn as an Orc! For your troubles, and the pouch." He hands Therro 10 gold coins and slowly walks away. Therro puts the gold coins in his pocket, and smiles as he watches the old man walk away. 

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: Therro walks over and gives the man a proper and conservative elfish greeting. Even though Therro happens to be a very sociable and friendly elf he finds that being cool headed and distant with traders often lead to better dealings. The trader begins to showcase his finest weapons "Here we have an enchanted sword all the way from San'Orka." Therro cuts him off from there and asks if he has any supple wood for bow making. The trader says "of course!" and pulls out his finest example of lumber he has available. Therro examines the grain and suppleness of the wood and determines that it is indeed of fine quality, and would be excellent wood for his next bow. "How much?' The trader responds with "10 gold coins". Therro responds with "7." in a confident voice. The trader responds with " 8 coins and I'm firm on that price, that's finest quality wood you can get!". Therro finally notices the container of bones, that his wolf has been staring at hungrily the whole time. He says " 8 is a deal if you throw in a treat for my furry friend here."  The trader responds in a jubilant voice "It's a deal!". Therro and his wolf continue on his way, both very happy with his purchase.
