Complete the following biography on your character:

 

Full Name: Renly Oswald

 

Current Age: 21

 

Sub-race (if any): Northerner

 

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

 

Renly is the son of a family of farmers in the village of Ager

which lies outside of Abresi. When he was four he assisted his father, along

with his two older brothers in field work, mostly planting seeds after the

harvest and plowing of the farm land. After a couple of years of helping his

family with any task he could, he ended up receiving a slingshot that he

cherished and frolicked around his house and sometimes wandered out past his

family’s farmland to pelt local birds or trees with tiny rocks or pebbles that

he finds on the ground. In the same exact year of which he is seven, he was

also given the task to help water and plow the fields at an early age; his

parents wanted him to stop being foolish and become mature and serious about

trying to survive and also to contribute to the field work due to the growing

age of the father.

 

Around the age of fourteen the eldest brother was married to the

daughter of a traveling merchant and was swept away from the family, leaving

Renly, the second oldest brother, their father and mother. After a couple

months of the wedding though, the second oldest brother ran away from home with

a girl he loved and they never returned home; the father, angry and saddened,

along with the tearful mother began to work Renly to the bones, to fill in the

gap that his brothers left. A year after that mess, Renly was given a gift

from his uncle, the same person who gave him the slingshot; which was a bow and

a few arrows. On days that were cool and the sun wasn’t beating down on them as

heavily, he worked as hard as he could to finish his task and after that he quickly

took his bow and arrows and began to practice shooting a tree that grew nearby.

 

After a few more years of doing his daily routine of working hard

and training, he began to grow rather muscular due to the fact that he had to

wield a scythe to reap the crops and had to plow the land along with his father

but then everything went downhill from there. A week or so later, his father

fell ill to a strange illness that the local apothecary attempted to cure. The

illness died down but was never actually cured and so the father had occasions

of nearly coughing his lungs out and other occasions of seeming rather fine.

But it was around the age of eighteen in which the illness struck again. This

time though, the father was not the only victim, his mother soon fell ill to

the disease as well and this time it was stronger and so the apothecary’s

medicine did not affect them at all. Of course they still suffered and

continued to live but each day, Renly was gradually falling to pieces while

tending to the farm by himself and continuing to practice, along with cooking

or preparing food for his parents. Then after a dreadful week of watching his

parents suffer, the next day he woke and noticed that both his parents died,

whether in their sleep or due to the illness he did not know but he made sure

they had a proper burial which apparently none of his brothers attended. Then

after a year of farming and cooking for himself but no longer practicing, he

became twenty and decided that he didn’t want the life of a farmer; therefore

he then sold the land and house to the lord of Ager and wandered off into the

wilderness and headed to the nearest place with a forest. From what he heard

from merchants and other villagers; there is a forest near a town called

Gemglade and so he packs whatever he could carry which was his clothes, some

rations and the bow and arrows.

 

Ambitions for the Future: To live a fruitful life, become successful in a business and have

a family.

 

Personality: Bold. There are moments where he is quiet and whenever in the

presence of nobles or women he is formal.

 

Skills: Marksmanship, Tracking, Athletic, Survivalist

 

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

skin): Having issues uploading a SS

 

Any other details you wish to share about your character: He likes to climb

trees at night and lay on watch the night stars. He also likes to avoid

conflict so that he can continue to achieve his goal.

 

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: He slowly follows

the dark clothed figure from a distance but then realizes that he has a bow and

arrow. Without alerting the figure he pulls out his bow and notches an arrow

and fires it close to the Guards. Close enough to alert them but not hurt any

of them. He knows that this would be a gamble because the guards could end up

killing him instead of the figure but he continues. As the arrow hits the floor

near the guard and ricocheting off the stone pavement, landing near a pile of

barrels, the guards instantly jump and turn out. Renly then puts a finger to

his lips and then points at the dark figure who is still stealthily maneuvering

his way towards the Emperor’s palace but horribly. The guards are instantly

running at him but heeding Renly’s advice earlier, they remain quiet. Renly

then wanders over to the barrels and picks up his arrow and observes from a

distance. The dark figured seemed to notice something rather odd due to the

fact that the guards’ armor are making a lot of noise and the moment he turns

around it was already too late. The guards capture the figure and were about

to, both at the same time with the dark clothed figure, thank Renly but he was

nowhere to be seen because he slipped into a crowd to return to his business of

trading fur pelts.

 

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: Equipped with leather

armor and an iron longsword, he curses under his breath as he wished he brought

his bow and arrows. Thankfully though the leather armor isn’t as heavy and it

doesn’t make much noise so he begins to run around the vegetation of the forest

and begin shouting random things such as like insults directed to almost no

one. Although his attempt to distract them worked out very well, then the old

man decides to take the opportunity and tell them that the forest is inhabited

by ghosts but of course the bandits do not believe him and return to

threatening him, backing him against the wall of his cottage. Renly instantly

stops his distraction attempt and he walks out into the clearing with his sword

drawn. He nods at the old man once he has gotten close enough to lunge at one

of them and then the old man alerts them to Renly’s presence. The bandits turn

around somewhat surprised and with their backs turned against the old man, he

stabs one of them in any of the vital, visible openings in his armor. The

second bandit turns around and prepares to strike the old man when until Renly

shouts and charges, aiming his sword at his face. When the bandit turns his

head to the side a bit the sword grazes past his cheek leaving a small cut and

instantly realizing his mistake, Renly backs off into a defensive stance and

says “Come at me you mongrel. Fight someone who isn’t at a disadvantage due to

age! Or did your mother teach you to be a coward!” The bandit became angry and

let the old man go which was a mistake because the old man did the same thing

he did to the first bandit he killed, which was stabbing the vital opening in

the armor which was the back of the neck. Later, Renly helps the old man clear

the bodies by disposing them somewhere else and after that he wishes the old

man good luck and walks off back into the vegetation of the forest.

 

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: Renly becomes

rather interesting with the man’s stall and how he does business; he checks his

pouch and notices that he only has thirty minas and so he asks the man if he

has arrows. The man laughs out loud and says, “I sell a variety of general

goods and arrows are general goods because many hunters have bought arrows from

me. And so to answer your question, yes, I do sell arrows.” Seeming somewhat embarrassed

for being laughed at he laughs a bit but still embarrassed and then he

straightens himself.

 

“How many arrows will you be selling” Renly asks.

 

The man begins to count and smiles and replies, “I shall sell

you one quiver full of arrows.”

 

 Renly seeming rather

shocked the amount of arrows he could buy, he then takes out all of his minas. He

then thinks of how much it would take to produce the arrows but then starts

rather low or what he assumed was low.

 

“How about ten minas for them?” Renly asks.

 

The small man replies back instantly, “I’m sorry lad but ten

minas will not do.” He grins and rubs his fingers together as if suggesting

that he should add much more money.

 

Renly sighs and instantly raises the amount by five minas. “Alright,

fifteen minas then.”

 

The small man chuckles and makes the gesture again.

 

Renly mutters under his breath and realizes something, “You

know if you give me them for fifteen minas then I could get you any meat, or

course if it is possible, for you such as venison, wild boar, pheasant. Name it

after you give me the arrows and the amount and I shall get them for you.”

 

The small man rather caught off guard by this proposal begins to

think of the possibilities of eating many types of meat for dinner, he grins

and then laughs. “You have a deal my friend. For fifteen minas for a quiver

full of arrows, now I would like to have all three, venison, pheasant and wild

boar, at least four of each!” He then pats his belly as if he can taste the

food already.

 

Renly then bows his head towards the man after handing the

minas and taking the quiver. “Then you shall have four of each of the meat.

Although this will take time so I hope you don’t starve to death before I

return.”

 

The small man chuckles, and replies back, “If I am hungry! I’ll

just eat some apples while I wait, now go on and fetch me my meal!”

 

Renly grins behind the veil covering his mouth. He then walks

off to fetch the man his meal.

A very good app, and you fixed everything mentioned in the previous app very well. I am both impressed and pleased. Congratulations!

 

However, it is always good to get help when you first join the server, and while it appears you are quite a good roleplayer, I would advise getting a mentor when you start out. I am sure several people will ask if you'd like to be mentored by them. I am a mentor, and can mentor you, or you can choose someone else. Do /mentor when you first log in and you will get a bit more understanding in how the plugin works.

 

I would also recommend visiting the following links to make yourself a bit more knowledgeable about the server and roleplay in general:
