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.):
Andreas is an human with long jet black hair and blue eyes. He wears a black blacksmith's apron, and a grey undershirt with brown pants. He is about 34 years old, and although he may not be the strongest, he can hold his own in a fight. He will not back down from a fight if he feels that he has the odds to win and he feels that it's right for him to enter. If he feels like he cannot win, then he will use his words to aid him. He is usually a very spirited person, very welcome to conversation. He'll help some people out, but he likes to have something given back in return. The people that he likes the most are the people that he can relate to and symphonize with, such as the poor and the innocent "convicts". He doesn't have a heart for people that just try to make a cheap living off of nothing.
Andreas' life began in a land far away from Asulon. His life was very normal, but his family was mildly poor. When he was about 14, it was time for him to leave the house. As soon as he left, his life began to go farther downhill. He became even poorer than he was before, and began to live off discarded scraps and odd jobs. He was very dissatisfied with his life, and decided that he needed a new beginning. He heard tales of a wondrous land called Asulon very far away. He immediately began saving up what little money he had, and when he was about 16 he set sail for Asulon. When he got there several weeks later, he asked a sailor where the best place to start a career would be. "Try Solace. Everything seems to be going Greeeat there", the sailor sarcastically remarked. Andreas didn't sense the sailor's tone, and he asked for directions to Salvus. When Andreas reached Solace, he immediately noticed troubles in the town, starving people roaming the streets, boarded up windows, Solace was not what Andreas had been expecting. But, nonetheless, he began attempting to set up shop. In a week's time, he had become mildly successful as a blacksmith.
However, his new found success angered the other citizens who weren't as lucky. When Andreas refused to sell to a man, the peacekeepers immediately jumped on this opportunity and arrested him, filing charge after charge. He was framed for hate crimes, scamming, and persuasion of a government official. He was scheduled to be executed for his "crimes". On the day of his execution, a riot broke out among the citizens and the Peacekeepers. In the confusion, Andreas slipped away, and removed his bindings using a slain guard's dagger. He wandered in the wilderness for days, with nothing but the clothes on his back. Starving, wounded, in his last legs of life itself, a beacon of hope arose over the trees. He had found a temple, where he was nursed back to health by monks, and learned the fate of Solace. It is now twelve years later. He has lived in a small hut near the temple since then, but again living off scraps and handouts. He was determined to be successful again, so he set off once more for the fabled cities of Asulon.
What are your Character's ambitions?:
Andreas hopes to become a blacksmith and trader, making an honest living for himself. He also would want to join up with other people, for he feels that he needs support that has not been given to him in the past. He wants help from others because he feels like he has always been alone with nobody to help him out.
What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):
Andreas' favorite tool would be his silver tongue. He not only uses it for bartering, but he also uses it to get out of sticky situations. If he feels that he is not strong enough to defeat his enemy, then maybe his words will win the battle.
What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?
Blacksmithing is one of Andreas' best skills, for it is the first skill he acquired that he could do well. He also has a way with bartering with other people and being able to sell other items. Two other things he can do, but not as good as bartering and blacksmithing, is mining and sword fighting.

Other Information about your Character:
He is sympathetic to the poor, helping them out when he can. He also has a conscience and he will help others if he feels it is right or it will benefit him.
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?
Andreas steps in front of the halfling, smling "Ah, why are you trying to trying to steal money from this poor chap when you could have -THIS-". He pulls out a moderately crafted iron sword, looking at the two men. He attempt to barter with them as he makes a motion behind him. "Go, run away!", he whispers to the halfling behind him as he continues to barter.
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?
Andreas looks at the stand, examining what is in it "Do you have anything for my smithy? I need some materials, coal is probably the most needed." He barters with the man, arguing with prices. He says that he needs some supplies for his smithy and that he doesn't have much to spare as it is. The other man says that he doesn't make much from his market stall, and he can't afford to cut much of a break. In the end, Andreas walks away a happy man, the supplies he needs with him.
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?:
Andreas takes a short glance at the chest and quickly shuts it. "No", he mutters to himself. "I was a poor man once, I wouldn't steal so blatantly from another person, even if it does look abandoned." He walks out the hut, sighing as he knows that someone will probably just take it.
Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you in the common tongue, how do you respond?
He would kindly greet all of the people there "Hello there, friends! How are you?". He would then see if he could get any food from them by asking nicely. "I have been starving for weeks, wandering around these wilds. Could you please help me out?" After he has stayed for the appropriate time, he would ask for any directions to the nearest town and set out.
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?:
Since Andreas is a blacksmith, he would try to provide some of his tools to the party. He would offer some swords and armor, but not so many that he would lose too much of a profit from his business. He would examine the party, and if he saw that they were a decent enough militia, he would take up arms and fight with them. As they hopefully return victorious, he would give a smile, and lightly implies to them that he helped them with his body and his weapons.
Anything else you would like to say?:
I did my character's biography on Salvus because my friend told me about the town when I was looking for a place in the lore, and he told me a bit about its back story as I searched through the forums about it.
