In-Character Information

Full name: Maehr Len

Current Age: 376 years old

Sub-race: Wood Elf (mail’ame)

Past/History: I was raised in an unprivileged family on the very outskirts of Malinor.  From a young age, I was taught to be the kindest, wisest, happiest person I possibly could.  My proud parents supplied me the best education they could with their very limited budget, which developed my endless thirst for knowledge that I possess today.  

Almost 354 years ago, my father was murdered by a band of Orcs that he owed money to.  Of course, this tragic incident crushed my growing spirit and forced me to work for pocket change instead of educate myself.  My mother, though, was the most damaged by the incident.  She was so overcome with grief that she eventually went insane. Her sickness became so severe that she became violent towards me and I was forced to leave our humble home, filled with anger and regret.  Elevating my unhappiness even further, I was informed a year after the murder by a family friend that my father had been stealing to feed my mother and I.  To pacify my overwhelming guilt about this, I often give food away to strangers or those in need.

I occasionally visit my mother, and supply her with food that I gather from my earnings as an arching mentor.  Currently, I am mentoring two young elves that show great skill and desire to be master archers.  I am sure I have become the successful elf that my parents wanted me to be.  I am a well respected figure in Elfish society, a member of an elite archer club, and have many supportive friends and students.  Even so, I still retain a strong desire to get revenge upon the fiendish Orcs that took the life of my father and damaged my mother.  I do not hate the Orc race as a whole, however, and still show respect to them whenever possible.

Ambitions for the future: Again, I would like to seek revenge on the monsters that hurt my family.  I would also like to see my students become great archers and perhaps learn about and explore the realms of Anthos with them.  I would like to be educated in all subjects, firstly magic.

Personality: I believe I am a very kind, gentle person that has been scarred from my dark past.  I am ambitious and expect my students to be the same.  I covet wisdom and knowledge, and would love to learn as much as possible in my lifetime.  I am usually patient and generous, but if I spot an evil deed being committed, I do not hold back harsher words.

Skills: My father, one of the best archers in all of the Elfish lands, taught me everything he knew.  I am also very adept at the art of persuasion and deception, but I only use these skills to benefit others.

Appearance: I am a dirty blonde with deep cocoa brown skin. I have green-blue eyes.  I always try to incorporate my favorite color, green, into my outfit, but I refuse to dye my hair.
 

Any other details you wish to share about your character: I want to live in a home similar to the one I grew up in.  My trusted students and I will share a house and spend our days practicing archery and magic, and learning all we can.

Open Response Questions

1) I once was taught a trick by a wise old elf (who was a stranger to me) on how to separate an innocent person from a bad situation when he saved me this same way!  First, I would pause for a moment and come up with a fib that would allow me to peacefully retrieve the child and detach him from the situation.  Then, I would dash into the group of elves and exclaim, “Where were you!?  You had your mother worried sick!  Come, she's looking for you over there” and lead the child briskly away.

 

On the off chance they grab the child’s hand and prevent me from escorting him out, the following would likely occur:

Me: Excuse me, but this child is clearly needed by his mother.  We must go now- your silly bickering will have to wait.

 

Older Elf: Our “silly bickering” was no laughing matter.  Ayla, here, owes us a gold ingot.

 

Ayla (younger elf): He’s lying!  *Looks at me with a sincere expression* I promise you I didn’t do anything wrong!  Please!  I can’t pay for it!

Me: *Hands Older Elf a book in payment*

Older Elf: What is this?!  I want gold!

 

Me: This book and the lesson I am teaching you are much more valuable than any amount of gold I could give you.  Remember this the next time you are in this same position.  I trust you will choose the right thing.  *Leads Ayla wordlessly away*
 

2) I would waste no time in gathering the gold coins and stowing them in my own pockets as I swiftly carry the elder to safety.  As we near the nearest home, I do a quick scan of the elf and feel to see if he is breathing.

Me: Help!  Can anyone revive this old man?  

Random Elf: I have basic medical knowledge- perhaps I can assist you.  What happened to him? *Inspects the old man’s limp body*

Me: He fell ill on the trail and I don’t know how to save him.

After several healing potions and help from several neighbors, we would manage to save the old man’s life.  Before letting him continue on his way down the path, I would insure he was recovered fully and return to him his gold.

3) My first instinct would be to ask about any enchanted bows or magical items that he has.  

Me: Hello!  I am Maehr Len.  I am interested in buying any high quality bows you have for sale.

Trader: Arg, I be sure to fix ye up with ye bow.  Enchanted bows costs plenty, if ye be willin’ ti pay.

Me: I have one diamond in my pocket, and I believe it has your name on it

 

Trader: A fair bargain.  Ye be a straightshootn’ with yer price.

 

Me: And hopefully the same with this bow.  Thank you, sir.

Welcome to Anthos! Whilst I was pondering for a good time about this app, I've decided to accept it. There were some faults, but I didn't find them bad enough to deny you for. Please wait patiently for a GM to implement you. If you have any questions when in-game, type /mentor. You'll get alot of help from that!
