Full Name: Thobek Redshield
 

Current Age: 16 Seasons (113)
 

Sub-race (if any): Mountain Dwarf
 

Clan (if any): None currently.
 

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

Thobek was born a sturdy Dwarf, his father, Bofbere, was a sailor Dwarf. If you thought normal Dwarves swore alot, you were in for a surprise when you met him. Thobek's mother was named Norili. Bofbere served in the Dwarven Navy for some time in Asulon, before an incident on the search for new land to settle away from Asulon.

 

Thobek grew up a normal life, unless of course, you would describe a normal Dwarven life mining, as Bofbere expected Thobek to continue work as a sailor dwarf. Bofbere also knew how to use a crossbow, more then a sword or axe, but mining was never a strong suit of the Redshield family. Thobek was raised in Kal'Anart in Asulon, home of the Goldaxe clan.

 

As Thobek grew older his father taught him how to fight and sail and use cannons on the ships. However Thobek never participated in any Dwarven war. In his later years in Asulon Thobek became interested in making cannons and how their engineering worked. But Bofbere dismissed it, saying "Who needs ta know 'ow ta feckin build 'em if ye know 'ow ta shoot 'em!" Thobek eventually became annoyed by his fathers arrogence, and promised one day to learn what he desired, as the Redshield family was very controlling.

 

Then one day Norili became very sick, and died when Thobek was 59 years old. Thobek's father became depressed as other Dwarves were joyfull at the return of the White Wizard and how he helped the Dwarves slay attacking Dragons at Kal'Dwain.

 

Soon the Dwarves searched for lands to settle outside of Asulon, and Thobek and his father travelled the journey. But on a stormy night Bofbere was thrown overboard, and drowned. Thobek was left with no parents, as the Dwarves landed on Elysium. It was now Thobeks turn to be depressed, and he was until the Dwarves moved from Elysium on a cold night at the sea, when Thobek was sleeping...

 

He had a dream, where his father came to him, and said: "I will always love ye, me boy. Fulfill yer dreams I stopped ye from fulfillin', an' stop mournin' over yer parents fate, like I did with yer mother. Stop mournin', or you will follow th' same path I did. Goodbye, me son." Thobek realized that his parents wanted him to be happy, despite their deaths, and Thobek could now fulfill his ambitions, as he looked, smiling for the first time in a while over the deck of the ship, as the coast of Anthos could be seen in the horizon.
 

Ambitions for the Future: Thobek wants to learn how to build cannons, and wants to join the Dwarven navy. As for small long-term goals, he wants his own house, of course, as he hasn't had his own all his life. He wants to move to Kal'Azgoth as well, and join the Goldaxe clan.
 

Personality: Thobek is a tough dwarf, who has a short temper, but surprisingly kind, especially for a sailor Dwarf. He his friendly to all of his Dwarven kin, but not so much to other races. Thobek likes to eat and drink, and likes the seas. He also enjoys firing cannons, but since he can't do that whenever he wants, he makes up for it by firing a crossbow.
 

Skills: Thobek's skills include sailing, firing cannons, and for weapons crossbows, but he can also manage with a sword. Thobek knows basic mining skills, but is not very interested in it.
 

Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):

Thobek has a dark orange beard and hair, with slightly tanned skin, from his time in the sea. His eyes are plain black in color. He wears some iron armor coverings on his shoulders, chest, and things, but the rest of his body is covered in thick chainmail that goes down from head to toe. Thobek also wears a brown belt, brown work gloves, and thick brown boots. He is 3.4 ft tall, and is a fat dwarf, not too fat however.

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:

Thobek is awed as he sees the gleaming diamonds on the other side of the ravine, letting out a shining blue glow. Thobek rarely went mining, only on special occasion, so to find diamonds, for him, especially such a large amount, was an amazing thing. Thobek was so excited he almost went right off the edge of the ravine, but then he got his senses back.

 

Thobek studies the bridge, as it appears to be unstable. But Thobek wouldn't pass up this rare opportunity for diamonds. He carefully placed a foot on the edge of the bridge, then after about 10 seconds his second foot. The bridge appeared to support his weight. He slowly went across, until he reached the other side. Pick-axe in hand, Thobek threw it into the diamonds, seeing the first ore piece come out. "'Ello t'ere, ye lil' diamond basterd. Yer mine, now." He kisses the diamond. Although Thobek isn't a miner Dwarf, he does still like riches.

 

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:

Thobek gulps as the Dwarves approach, but pretends to ignore them, whispering to the young Dwarf. The 2 Dwarves see Thobek, and stop for a little bit, before keeping their pace. "W'at is wrong, lad?" Thobek asks. The young Dwarf keeps crying, ignoring Thobek. The 2 shady Dwarves get closer towards Thobek, so he turns around in the chair, on his side, so the Dwarves can visibly see his Crossbow, which lies on his side.

 

The Dwarves study the crossbow, and start to wonder if it is a good idea to continue walking. But surely he couldn't use that crossbow at such short range. However they are still un-aware of the short-sword which lies on Thobek's other side, so they continue walking towards Thobek. Thobek now gets up from the chair, and stands infront of the two Dwarves, who seem to be short, even for Dwarves. Thobek is taller then them, which makes him more intimidating.

 

The Dwarves now see both his crossbow and shortsword, and are now very frightened.

"What do ye want with t'at young lad o'er t'ere?" Thobek asks.

One of them answers. "We are... er... takin' 'im back ta 'is parents... 'is parents, yes!"

"But I thought we were--" The other Dwarf, who appears to be an idiot, says, before getting smacked on the head by the other one. "Shut up, ye scrawny bearded lass!"

 

The other Dwarf then leaps at the other, offended at his insult, and they soon are into a full fledged barfight, punching and kicking the other. The young crying Dwarf takes this chance, to run out of the bar. Eventually, one of the brawling Dwarves ends the fight by smashing a bear glass on the others head, and takes one last look at Thobek, before running off.

 

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:

Thobek stops his stroll, as the word "ale" rings in his head. Thobek immediately turns around towards the voice of the Dwarf, who just said the magic word. Thobek meets the man serving ale, who appears to be a chubby, friendly Dwarf.  "I'll take t'at ale off yer 'ands, mister." Thobek says.

 

"Congratulations, lad!" The Dwarf says, "Yer me 'un 'undredth customer! 'Ere's an ale, on th' 'ouse!" Thobek smiles, gladly taking the ale, and gulps it down in one drink, taking a moment to taste the ale. "'Ats sum mighty foine ale ye got t'ere! I'll 'ave anuther!" Thobek says.

"At'll cost ye 15 Minas, sir." The Dwarf replies. Thobek hands him the minas, and drinks the mug of ale.
