In-Character Information:

Complete the following biography on your character:

 

Full Name: Walter Dennings

Current Age: 63

Sub-race (if any): N/A

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

    Growing up in Kralta, Walter was a sickly and rather unitelligent child. Like others his age in Kralta, Walter grew up poor and uneducated, and began to believe that through pure effort he could miraculously obtain great nobility in the Oren Empire. As such Walter was rather clingy to the local guard and even acted as a bother at some points. Despite his lacking health he established himself in hunting small game utilizing whatever paltry skills he obtained from following the local guards. By age 40 Walter had carved up enough money in order to make a trip to the Abresi in order to apply for a military official position. Convinced he was capable of a logical and noble application Walter entered the city with just enough room for a night's boarding. He was denied his requested position, being scoffed at the by official he seeked office with, and began to live in the slums of the city searching for an occupation.

    Years later, 23 to be exact, Walter had scraped his life back together as a tradesman and began to hope that his acquired wisdom would be useful for the job. What he lacks in physical strength he believes to make up for in determination, however that is typically proved ill by his cowardice and age. He makes his living in the sales of leather and meats, and still loiters in the varying towns of the Holy Oren Empire.

Ambitions for the Future: Walter would like to expand his venture to become a major tradesman of the empire. However, he has little knowledge of the surrounding lands, and would like to study among scholars to learn more of the outside world. 

Personality: Walter has a temperate, but still lively personality, defined by his cowardice. He will not engage in combat, unless absoloutely forced, and will typically seek diplomatic soloution. Walter is impatient in his business investments, and just as he was as a child will pester those who wish to do business with him. 

Skills: Walter is a more or less adequate hunter, which is rather useless in his old age. He has obtained negotiation skills due to his exploits in the capital, and uses these now to uphold his small goods business. Walter is very knowledgable with a bow, and used to be capable of highly accurate shots up until his late thirties.  

Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):Walter is withered and decayed from his sickly youth and old age. He accounts the thing keeping him thin as being his need to trade daily, as it his only source of sustenance. Walter has an extensive beard and small furtuitive eyes.(Skin link: http://www.minershoes.com/skin/view/i4e85a7be532240152435489217415741510615137) 

Any other details you wish to share about your character: Walter has a weak left thigh and will complain about it frequently during long trips.

 

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: Noting the man, I make haste on my way to the nearest guard post, being common in this part of land. My old frame is not made for running however, and I fall to the ground with an injured foot. Unable to continue my pace, I construct a lean to using the wares in my pack which consist mostly of leather and sticks. I stay here for the night, making a rather poor attempt to nurse my wound, before limping down the path again on the morning. About half an hour into my journey, the guard post rather near, I encounter a guardsman standing on duty near an upturned wagon, and request his assistance. "Aye" The guard replies, and soon leads me on my way towards the tower, a now much quicker journey for support to my leg.

 

 

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: Approaching the bandits, I request that they stand down. Not taken by the surprise, a bandit scoffs before slicing me in the leg. Falling onto my knees I cough and rasp slightly, as per my bad health and the bandit humorously replied "What is this, elderly communes?" His partner, obviously not in agreeance with the lighthearted manner, replies that my minas are not safe either. Realizing I am in a bad position I try and pull my leg into a pose that would limit the bleeding, while my struggling fellow victim tries something brave. He lunges forward, stabbing one of the two men. He is no match as the armor was not pierced. The two men proceed to beat him as I limp away off of the path.

 

 

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:  I attempt to buy a rather nice set of linens, but the shopkeeper easily refuses my small sum of available money. As such, I propose a trade, my wares for his. Noticing my abundance of skins, the man requests to know they quality. "Well, pierced only by arrow." I say, noting that my old age prevents the wielding of a sword to any effect. The shopkeeper is interested, but does not find them of equal value to his linen. I offer up more minas, but the man continues to refuse. I then claim falsely to the man that his linens are damaged, and point out a natural spot in the linen as if it were a burn marking. The man, obviously taking little inventory of his goods, proceeds to lower the price and grant me the item, even making a few minas on the leather.
