They resided at the base of the mountains of [[Could not find any names of mountains on the map, or anywhere else. Either I have missed it or the land isn't marked yet. I planned for the location to be a fair distance from a dwarven town.]]. Orin taught Zoran how to carry and wield an axe, to better collect wood for the small cabin they lived in. And to also defend their home from the various wildlife that would threaten their lives. As Zoran aged, Orin began to teach him more and more combat techniques with his axe. Which soon proved useful when more dangerous creatures came upon their home, but that is a personal tale! As long years passed Zoran grew to the age of 343. During those years Zoran and Orin mined out what little they could from the mountain. To soon replace the wood cabin with a stone hut. With the training from his father, the honing of his strikes with axe and pick. Zoran grew to be a capable dwarf. Sporting a long brown beard, a muscular stature, and a hardy personality. Life seemed grand to the simple dwarf. But, in one morning he discovered his father was gone. Orin's belongings missing and not a word left behind of his whereabouts. Days passed with Zoran searching the woods and mountain for his father but no signs where visible. Eventually Zoran packed up himself, and set out into the world hoping to find his father. (Extreme detail in the BIO is part of Zoran's personal story. Any personal stories about the character is to be presented IC. I am against placing personal events in my character's bios.

I will certainly look for a different skin. Other Information about your Character: None. Reason I am not stating more, is because I like to present my character's story through IC RP. I've experienced far too often people reading my backstory or information and using it to magically know things about my character. Such as "Oh are you from BlahBlah Town?" Even though we only exchanged 3-4 lines of dialog that didn't give any hints of my origin. Open-Response-Questions Whilst traveling from the Cloud Temple you see a small halfling, being harassed by two armed warriors. They appear to be trying to steal money from him, how does your character respond? Zoran notices the two armed warriors and the halfling. He takes a glance on both sides of the road(I imagine it's on a road) to see if he notices any onlookers. Content with his perception, he makes his way to the three ahead of him. (To not make this long, I won't RP it out) Zoran confronts the two to find out the problem. Gauging from their attitudes and allegiance(Assuming they are thugs) Zoran would threaten them, giving the Halfling the chance to run away if the guards appear to be Loan Sharks of some kind. If they are city/town guards, and the halfling turns out to be a thief(From confirming the story). He would leave the three alone and continue on his way.

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? Zoran takes a glance at the merchant's wares. Seeing nothing Zoran would likely need, he tells the merchant "Nothin' fer' me lad." Zoran smiles to the merchant. "But may ye business ere' be prosperous!" As Zoran walks away with the farewell. 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?: Zoran would simply leave the chest and cabin alone. Believing the chest to be trapped, and it's contents not worth lugging around on his travels. Also not to mention not wanting to break into the hut. Especially if it has been recently acquired to become a home. 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? Zoran would approach those who greeted him. Displaying himself to be friendly and wishing them no harm. Zoran would greet back: "Greetings! Av' ya any food te' trade fer' a lost dwarf? Me belly be needin' fuel for this eve'." If Zoran would lack the funds to feed himself. He would offer to work off any food and drink he would take. 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?: Zoran would walk towards the guard's leader.
