Biography (Please make this at least 2 paragraphs long. This must include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Daeron Aldasumé was born into a large family, with 8 siblings; 3 brothers and 5 sisters, being the youngest child. Even from a young age, Daeron was quite a skinny elf, although not being very tall. Daeron's parents were both librarians, so naturally, he learnt to love reading books. He grew up in a small town, away from the noise of the large cities. Daeron was always kind at heart, putting other elves before himself. From a young age, Daeron learned to write stories. He aspired to be the best author in Asulon. Writing was his only way of expressing his emotions, as he was quite a shy elf. He would write on for days and days only to have his books ripped up and burned by his parents, as they did not think that his writing was up to their standard of "perfection". Through this, he still wrote, building up a secret stash of books that he had written. He gradually began to despise his parents, as they never had time for him, personally, and they always put him down. They always favoured his older brother, Authion, bought him everything he wanted and always made sure he was comfortable, treating him like a king. As Daeron grew older, he began to devise plans on running away from home. He gradually recognised that his home town would be too boring for him to live for his whole life, and decided to run away to Normandor, as he had heard many stories from passing elves on the grandeur of the city. Daeron wanted to continue writing books in Normandor, gradually building up his fame until he became well known. Day by day, he built up his resources for the trek to Normandor, as it was extremely far away, all the time keeping it a secret from his parents. Daeron only told one other person about his plan, his second oldest brother, Emerion. They had always been friends, despising their oldest brother together, helping each other out in times of need. Emerion helped him find food, tools and money to help him on his trek. On the day Daeron was scheduled to leave home, something unexpected happened. All his supplies were gone; the ones he had collected himself and also the gifts from Emerion. As Daeron went to look for Emerion, his parents appeared. Emerion, not wanting Daeron to leave home, had told his parents about his journey, stabbing him behind his back. Daeron's parents were extremely angry that he had been planning this behind his back. As a punishment, they broke the end of his fingers, so he would never be able to write again. Out of frustration, Daeron's parents banished him from their family line, cutting off all family relations from him. Daeron would have to start a new life. Daeron kept his last name, against his parents' will, to honour his grandparents in the future. Over time, Daeron's fingers would heal, but they would never be perfect again. They could never write as fast and beautifully as before, but he was still able to use them. Because of this, Daeron had to find a new ambition. He would like to have an occupation related to books, or art, as he loved expressing himself through his art. Daeron now travels towards Normandor, the heart of the elven nation. What is your Character's ambitions?: Daeron wants to live a Joyful life, but one which benefits the community, through his talents, or by being a valued member of the community. He would like to make a difference to Normandor, for the better. What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Daeron believes that the pen is the mightiest tool. Out of other tools, he has no particular preference. What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? His most skilled talent is writing, although he cannot write to the peak of his ability anymore.

They appear to be trying to steal money from him, how does your character respond? Daeron provokes the warriors, making them chase him instead. As Daeron is quite skinny, he can run quite quickly, and will try and lead the warriors away from the halfing. If this does not work, Daeron would run and find help. Your character wanders into Alras, and comes across a small stall, behind which a well dressed man is standing. He’s offering various wares, the merchant turns to you and says in a posh accent " 'ello there, what can I do you for today?" What is your character response? Daeron is quite poor, but he feels inclined to buy something from this stall, as it appears that he has not sold many items today. Daeron coughs up a few minas to buy an item, wishes the man farewell, and continues on his way. Whilst wandering in the wilds, your character comes across a small hut, which looks abandoned. Inside it you see a chest containing a few iron bars, and a golden sword. How would your character respond?: Initially, Daeron stares in wonder at the treasure. He considers taking the items, for his own good but reconsiders. Daeron takes the items, sells them, and gives the money to members of the community which do not have enough money to live on. If this is not the case, he would turn in the items to the authorities, leaving them to find the rightful owners of the items. Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you you in the common tongue, how do you respond? Daeron kindly asks the people in the trading camp if they have any food. If they do not give it to him for free, he offers to do work for them after he eats. If they do not accept the offer, he offers them the clothes he is wearing for food, as he is dangerously hungry. You hear word that bandits occupy the road outside the town in which you have been staying. The town guard have gathered, and are asking for assistance to help eliminate them. The leader of the party is offering a reward for any who offer their support. How does your character act on this information?: Daeron immediately jumps up at this offer to help, and does not accept the reward for helping, unless he is in great need of money. He knows that may not be able to do much in the fight, but is willing to maybe sacrifice himself for the greater good. In the battle, he does not stay at the back lines, but charges ahead, not afraid of the consequences for his actions. ~Thanks for your time.
