Full Name: Aragon Blacktide

Current Age: 36

Sub-race (if any):

Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Aragon Blacktide was born to William and Christina Blacktide, a poor family who lived in Asulon. 

As a child he was always up to mischief. During his time in Skarvia he was well know for dis-respecting his elders and terrorising pig-pens.

When he was ten years old, his parents moved to Arethor to start up a family business for shipping goods, which never took off leaving the Blacktides' in deep dept. Two years later, they lost their home and had to sell most of their possessions to stay in the city.

Now 16, Aragon wanted to travel. For a couple of months he went to stay with his uncle, Pierce, in Solace, where he developed a love for adventure. On his return to Arethor, he found out that his parents had been forced out of the city and no-one knew where they had gone.

For almost a decade Aragon searched for them. He traveled to the far reaches of Asulon, but had no success. At the age of 22, he bought back his old house in Arethor. He lived there for most of the time, but regularly visited Uncle Pierce.

After the fall of Asulon, he moved to Kingston with his uncle, who passed away three years later. He got a job as an ale merchant at the age of 26. 

He now has left his job to pursue his want for travel.

Ambitions for the Future: To travel, meet new people and have adventures.

Personality: Nice to his friends, mean to his enemies. Can be racist.

Skills: Knows how to negotiate well. 

Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Aragon is quite tall and muscular. He has long black hair and a beard. He also wears a white eye-patch just to look good. He never actually lost an eye.

 

 

Any other details you wish to share about your character: My character always carries his fathers sword, hoping that one day he can return it.

 

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 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?

 

Answer: I would approach the guard.

"Eh, I just saw a dark-clothed figure sneaking around near the palace. Think you better check it out, seeing as that is your job.

The guard looks at me. "Are you telling me how to do my job?" He looks at me in disgust for a short while, then turns his gaze towards the palace. "Where's this figure?"

"Probably long gone now."

"Heh, well beat it then." The guard pushes me out of his way as he moves away to continues his patrol.

Not willing to let this go, I go up to the spot in which I spotted the figure. "Where are you..." I continue to walk in the direction he was walking and eventually come across an open window. "Oh crap."

I jump into the palace, and follow the trail of muddy footsteps until I reach a doorway. Standing under it is a man, clothed in a dark jacket, dagger drawn.

I tackle him to the ground. He struggles, but a knock to his head stops him from moving.

Then I drag the body out of the window, and back to the guard. "Told you I saw something. Don't thank me, but I think I just saved the Emperor." I drop the body at his feet, and stroll off.

 

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 armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?

 

Answer: I would approach the bandits and say, "What is this? What reason do you have to be threatening this poor old man?"

The bandits turn to face me. "What do you care?" They start to walk towards me, their swords gripped firmly.

I grin, my goal now complete. I turn to old man. "Run, good sir!" And he does. He rushes out of the clearing, and I quickly lose sight of him.

"You just made your last mistake," The bandits say, as they run at me, weapons held high.

I move to defend myself, knowing that there is no way I'll be able to defeat these two bandits.

The bandits are now on either side of me. One of them swings his sword, and I quickly duck. The sword hits the other bandit, which causes him to buckle slighting. I take this chance and run.

I eventually come across a hole in the ground, and jump in. I stay there for a while until I know I have lost them.

 

 

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).

 

Answer: "Hello there," I say.

The small man looks up. "Why hello there. You look like the adventuring type. Need a new blade? I have plenty available."

"Sure, I'll have a look."

He reaches under his counter and pulls up a small dagger, looks to be of elvish make. "I found this beauty during my trip to Leumalin last year. Cost me 227 Minas."

I pick it up, turning it around. I notice a small marking under the hilt of the blade. "What's this?"

The man looks at it. He suddenly begins to look nervous. "I... I have no idea what your talking about!"

I ****** the dagger back and take a closer look at it. "Is this... Is this a brand? You theiving little midget!"

The merchant jumps out his stall and begins to run. Being much taller than he is, I catch up pretty quickly, picking him up by his ears and carry him to the closest guard.

"This man has been selling forged goods and has stolen from almost everyone here."

The guard takes the small man, and takes him away.

- Unfortunately, I am going to have to deny this -

 

I would like you to explain your characters move from Asulon to Anthos. Explain how he survived and what he did on the journey to the new land. Also, I think you should give me a little more insight to your character. Explain what he did for a living after his parents disappearance. I really want to know your characters morals and how he was raises.

 

Lastly, I think your ORQ's were a little power-gamey. Don't you think the robed figure would hear you entering the winding and walking on the stone floor. Also, your ORQ's could benefit from more descriptive imagery as well as more detailed dialogue.

 

Your application was quite good. Just make these changes and then you'll be good to go!

 

Please wait 24 hours after this post to reapply. Feel free to PM me with any questions or concerns!
