Complete the following biography on your character:

 

Full Name:Ryan Clark 

 

Current Age:25

 

Sub-race (if any):Human

 

Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):I Was born in a small village. With my dad (Garry Clark) and my mom (Martha Clark). There was no school at the village. All there was were farms and mine shafts. The village was surrounded by a beautiful forest and a lake on the side. I didn't really have any friends. All I focused on was archery. I had been shooting ever since he was a 7.  Garry Clark was a miner, and mining is a dangerous job. Lots of miners have died, Garry has been so close to death.

   When I was 14, a group of thieves came to the village and raided the place. Some were killed. I was technically the only one with a "weapon". I went in a far distance to shoot. I killed 2/5 thieves, But the rest were "arrow proof". So I gathered some explosives from the mine. Tricked the thieves into walking near the explosives. Then I grabbed and arrow, lit it on fire. Then shot & lit the explosives. The Thieves were killed, and the village was saved! The explosives caused some damage to the village but it could have been worse.

 When I was 22, I went on a 2 month hunting trip. I successfully completed the trip, but when I came back. The village was destroyed. Everyone had an arrow in there back or a sword in there chest. Everyone I knew was dead! I was devistated. It was time for me to live a new life, out in the wilderness.    

 

Ambitions for the Future: I want to become a guard in a large kingdom with is archery skills. I also want some friends, since everyone I knew has died. I feel lonely all the time. 

 

Personality: Lovable, I can be a fun guy when i'm in a good mood. Gernealy friendly. I Seem to enjoy nature. Becomes a smart mouth randomly.  Archery helps me keep my mind off of every terrible back story. I don't t think straight when tired ill, hungry, etc.

 

Skills: Good with the bow & arrow. Not so bad with martial arts. I have some brains when I have my "moment" (a.k.a, around other people to impress. Life or death moments)

 

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

 

 

Any other details you wish to share about your character: I Currently live/camp in Lensfarthing.

 

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: Well since I wanted to be a guardian, I notices this will be my "Big Chance" to become one. But then I wonder, if I kill the figure and he is just a normal citizen, Well I screwed up. So I wait to see the truth.

 Seconds later the figure used some kind of force to take down one of the towers. I exited the kingdom on its side then came 20 feet behind the figure. The guards start yelling and shot arrows at the figure. The figure used his magic to reflect it. I thought fast and shot his in the hand. The figure healed his hand and turned back at me. It used its force again and it blew me back 15 feet, I was injured a bit. Right when 

It was about the kill me, the guards shot 3 arrows in the figures back, It was too painful for him to move so it could heal itself again. I was able to shoot its head. The figure turned into black smoke and blew away. "Nice Work" One of the guard said while giving a big (pat) on the back to me. 

 

 

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: If I had the bow he would shoot them but since I have a longsword. I snuck up behind one and stabbed one. The other one charged at me, pushing him against the wall and preparing to kill me. But behind the bandit, the old man comes and stabs the bandit in the stomach to save me back. After we got rid of the bodies, I asked him where I can find a "large kingdom". He told me to go south and then gave me some food.Then I left

 

 

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: Well all I really need is arrows and food, and mabey some other materials. He is not selling food, But he is selling arrows, I had bought all the arrows for 2 silver coin. Then I discovered a compass in his inventory. I sometimes get lost in the woods, It would be nice to get compass, so I bought it for 4 silver coins. I then asked him "Why don't you have a set of prices?" I asked him. "Well I'm leaving this place, I can only carry limited things. I kept the important stuff though" said the merchant.

 

                    Well I hope this gets accepted.

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

 

Firstly, expand upon your meta-gaming definition with an example.

 

Secondly, your biography is quite cliché and lacks any LotC lore. I advise being more specific when you say a bandit group and possible include the village you grew up in. Also, archery isn't really something someone can teach themselves. I advise developing a character that may have taught you archery in-game.

 

Lastly, your ORQ's came off to me as slightly power-gaming and some unrealistic. For the first ORQ, you mention this man is blocking things with magic and all sorts of things that don't really make sense. Plus, you may not kill the man without a villain application. In the second application, you make it sound easy to walk up behind someone with no swords training and stab a fully armored bandit. In your last ORQ, it is important to dictate what happens with dialogue and detailed actions. You get to chose what happens at the merchant stand.
