Ambitions for the Future:[/b] A while away from the Kingston, but still in the east part of Anthos, Sofetios was born into a farming family. He was born with Brown hair and brown eyes, A common look, but his parents didn't mind. Around the age of five, Sofetios went to the market with his parents, away from the farm for the first time. As they were setting up a stall, Sofetios spotted something on a nearby stall, It was a bunch of rectangular thin white things partly wrapped up in a piece of leather. So, Sofetios walked over there and a person wearing glasses and a leather sleeveless jacket from behind the stall Said, "Hello there youngster!" Sofetios, young though not shy said,

"Hello." then looked to the things wrapped in leather and said, "What's that?" The man said,

"Why it's a book!"

"A book?" Said Sofetios confused. "What's that?"

"A book is the entrance to another place." said the man with a smile. "Only you don't go with your body, you go with your mind." Sofetios was amazed by this and said,

"Could I look at it?"

"My good boy, you may borrow it if you would like." said the man back. He went to Sofetios and put the book in his pack.

At the age of 12 Sofetios had made good friends with the man who had let him borrow the book all those years ago. The man had taught him to read and write over the years. Sofetios read the book the man had given him every day at his bookshop, the book titled. "A Walk in the Woods." It was a book giving a humble opinion on common subjects.

At the age of 17, Sofetios was very skilled at writing and now worked two jobs, the first one at his friend the mans bookstore, and a second one at the tavern. Sofetios had also gotten wise and clever because of all the books he read.

Now at age 22, Sofetios decided he wanted to start his own bookstore. Upon telling his parents this they argued a bit but in the end decided it was time. Not wanting to hurt his dear friends business he planned on going to the city known as Kingston. Visiting the bookstore one last time Sofetios told his friend about his plans. The man didn't argue at all, knowing Sofetios all too well. and gave him a book and said to keep it. Sofetios looked at the book. It was titled, "A Walk in the Woods". The man also went into a closet and pulled his old sleeveless leather jacket and gave it to Sofetios. Then the two parted, not knowing whether they would see each other again.

Sofetios then ventured off to the city to start his bookstore, But if he were to succeed, only time can tell.

He nearly never lets his emotions get the best of him, and is usually polite. He is also friendly. He will not usually take on a challenge he thinks he cannot succeed at.

[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?[/b]

Answer: As Sofetios notices the dark-clothed figure and hears the guards shouting in the distance, he decides to follow the dark-clothed one sneakily at a close but safe distance. Sofetios picks up a pebble and a medium rock, then waits until there is an opening on either side of the man, chucks the pebble high in the air (so the dark-clothed man doesn't know where it came from) Hoping it lands in front and to the side of him. If it succeeds the dark-clothed man will likely turn in the direction of the sound the pebble makes, allowing Sofetios to fast walk/sneak to him quickly and attempt to bash him in the head with the medium size rock. Upon success in hits Sofetios will alert the guards.


[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 armor and an iron longsword, how do you react?[/b]

Answer: First, Sofetios would try to notice what weapons the bandits had. Then Sofetios would most likely Throw a pebble/small rock at a tree or bush to the right of the bandits, (Sofetios being behind them). likely one of them would go investigate. Sofetios would then attempt to sneak behind the bandit at the old man and stab him where he could find an opening, (through the heart, if too armored then at the neck) By now the other bandit would know what's going on, and come charging at Sofetios and the old man. Sofetios would tell the old man to run but to give him the iron dagger. When the bandit gets close to Sofetios, he throws the dagger at the man comings foot(if not armored there) If it succeeds then the man will likely trip in mid run and fall, Leaving him open to a fatal attack.



[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).[/b]

Answer:

 

Sofetios: Hello sir.

 

Man: Good day to you.

 

Sofetios looks around the stall: I have been looking around the market for a few items, do you have blank books, quills, inkwells, and any apples in stock?

 

Man: A writer eh? *The man searches around his stall and sais,* Your in luck, I have the items here, *He takes out two leather bound books, some quills, two capped inkwells, and a red apple.*

 

Sofetios: May I see the books?

 

Man: Sure, I see no harm in it.

 

Sofetios examines the books, flipping through the pages.: These look great!, how much will all of this cost me?

 

Man: I usually let my customers choose the price and then I tell them if it's good or not.

 

Sofetios looks surprised by this: Ok then. *Suggests a moderate to little above average price.*

 

Man: I usually never get a good price like that. say, I'll make it a bit lower. *suggests a moderate price*

 

Sofetios: Well thank you. *pays the man the money.*

 

Man: Have a good day now.

 

Sofetios: You as well.
