Biography (Between 2-5 paragraphs. No walls of text, please): Shortly after Talidon's arrival in Aegis, he met in a pub called Bauhder Machel. He soon become good friends with Bauhder, and together they began looking for work, as they were both unemployed. After searching tirelessly for several weeks, neither of them were able to find any jobs. Frustrated, they developed a hatred toward the upper class citizens of Aegis. With their hatred for the upper class slowly increasing, they began to take out some of their anger by devising plans to steal from the citizens. This was popular conversation for the both of them, particularly at the pub.

One day, as they both left the pub, they found a drunk rich man singing to himself in a alleyway. Bauhder, who had been particularly angry that night assaulted the man. Talidon was unsure what to do, while his friend began beating the man to death. Bauhder was able to stop himself just short of killing the man, but he was seriously injured. Talidon urged his friend to leave him, but he could not resist stealing the mans money, as he lay helpless on the floor. Talidon was disturbed after this event, he could hardly live with himself, but Bauhder was feeling completely different. Bauhder persuaded him that it was the right thing to do; that the upper class citizens did not deserve their wealth, for in his eyes, it was stolen from the poor. Talidon, with no other friend or family member left to give him guidance, he soon adapted the same belief as Bauhder. They soon became partner's in crime, cleverly working together to steal from the rich, generally without having to kill him.

Question Section - Answer with as much detail as necessary

Why does your character do what he/she does? What are his/her motives? My character, after not being able to find a job, developed a hatred for the upper class. He thought they were undeserving of their wealth, and desperately wanted to extract revenge on them. With the influence of his friend Bauhder, he became a thief.

What moral boundaries does your character adhere to, if any? There a few limits Talidon has set for himself, as far as committing serious crimes. Primarily, he only steals from the clearly wealthy. He does not enjoy stealing from the poor, not only because they have little to give, but because he feels sorry for them. Also, Talidon does not enjoy killing people, however if he feels that his life, or the life of his friends are being threatened, he will do whatever is necessary to save them. Also, he refuses to harm woman or children, as he feels that they lack the brain capacity to decide what is wrong or right.

What are some notable strengths and weaknesses of your character? What might cause him/her to falter? Include things such as temptations, addictions, physical handicaps, etc. One strength of my character is that he is incredible determined. Once he has a goal in mind, there is little than can stop him. When it comes to weakness's, he is easily corrupted. A simple challenge of his honor would tempt him to do almost anything. Also, he is quite fond of ale, which can make him quite vulnerable.

What role will your character play in Aegis? What separates them and makes them unique and original among villains? My character will be attempting to not only rob the rich, but do so with a partner in crime. I believe this has yet to be done on this server,an and should create a unique and interesting story.

Is your character loyal or a backstabber? Does he/she trust others in return? My character is loyal only to those he can relate to. Those who were born rich, he has no problem backstabbing. However, once someone gains his trust, he will remain loyal to them, until they change, in his eyes.

Why do you as a player wish to and deserve to play a villain? Throughout all of my years of roleplaying, I have always played out an honorable person, either in the army, or simply a worker. While I usually see that amateur role-players tend to turn to being evil fairly quickly, I believe that I can offer a change. I see myself as an experienced role-player, and I feel that I can offer a new and unique thief, who is fun to play, and play with. What makes my character different, is that he works with a partner, (an actual player) to steal, which I see as a somewhat new concept as far as role-playing. In addition to this, as I will be playing with a partner, I will never feel the need to godmod or meta game.

Open Response - Answer at least four out of five listed. Do not powergame, metagame, or do anything else illegal or unrealistic. Each scenario is designed with no particular objective in mind and is open ended deliberately. Assume your character is in each position, regardless of their normal situations:

A middle aged man, a young wife, and a small male child are walking down the King’s Road together. The women walks with a long staff, and the man appears to have a scabbard at his side.

Talidon watched the family walking together, and his eyes settled on the fathers coin purse. He smiles, in his hiding place among the trees, and signals to his friend, Bauhder. Talidon leaps from the tress, in front of the family.

"Hello", Talidon said grinning, as he drew his iron sword.

As the man stepped in front of his family, and drew his sword, he replied

"Leave now, for I will not give you any money, but if you threaten my family, I will kill you where you stand"

Talidon only smiled, and winked at his friend, who was now behind the man's wife, a knife to her throat.

"Hand over everything you've got" He grinned at the man, as he complied.

You hear knocking on your door and go to answer. It turns out to be an angry looking woman with a large human behind her. She is telling you that you owe taxes to King ___ and must pay within the fort day.

"You think that I will give you any of my money?" Talidon sneered at the woman.

"You have no choice, as I said already."

"Listen woman, I have set my limits, and I will not harm you, but if you think for one second that I would ever pay any money to the King, you are deeply mistaken"

The woman signaled the human to enter the home, and force Talidon into submission. As soon as the man entered the house, there was an arrow in his throat.

"Leave now, and don't come back" Talidon removed the arrow from the now dead human's neck, and handed it to Bauhder, who was crouched in the corner of the house.

Talidon slammed the door.

Two Guard tries to break up a fight between your acquaintance and two Goblins. Your friend slays one of the Guards as he approaches, causing the other Guard as well as the Goblins to unsheath their arms.

Talidon and his friend, both stood, arms at the ready. Talidon whispered to his friend.

"We fight each one together, and quickly."

His friend nodded, and they both charged the guard. Talidon lunged at the Guard, aiming his sword at his neck, but it was deflected. As the Guard began to swing at Talidon, he was tackled to the ground by his friend. His friend quickly jumped away, and Talidon swiftly ended the Guards life with a stab through the chest. They both turned to the Goblins, who unison, though sloppily. Talidon was able to kick the approaching Goblin away, and stab the one attacking his friend. This gave his friend just enough time to dodge the Goblins attack, and deliver another wounding him mortally. They both turned to the final Goblin, who once realizing he was outnumbered, retreated into the night.

As you turn the corner into a dimly lit alley, a pair of young female halflings instantly run up to you. They are begging for a donation of either minas or food.

Talidon smiled at them, handing them the remaining food rations from his dinner that night, and a few Minas from his latest robbery. He felt a lot of compassion towards those left behind by society.

Looks great man, I hope to see you as a Moderator, from what I can tell you would have a great impact on the server.

At the age of 19, he began hearing stories of faraway lands, and the great adventures of men who had travelled into the wilderness.
