Btw why do I need to do this? Is it a hidden form of bumping? In-Character: Character Name:Cratear Aethed What Race are you?:Human What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race):Northerner 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.):I remember the screaming, the fire and my mothers face. When I was brought into this world, the war of aegis had started. My mother stayed with me all the time, protecting me, trying to find a way off the island. She herself could not leave, for she had to try and save my father. As she frantically looked around, tears streaming down her face, she kissed me on the forehead, and handed me to the group of dwarves about to leave. As the boat left the dock, I, still a newborn baby, caught a glimpse of the burning city, and my mothers face. That was all I remembered. Later on, 4 years later, I find myself living with the dwarves. There was much grief in everyone, still shocked from what happened 4 years before, but they had started to re-build. I was a light skinned, brown haired young boy. Mature for my age, I still enjoyed getting into a little trouble. I never felt out of place with the dwarves, they were my family. I spent the next couple of years observing stone masons and blacksmiths, and adventuring out into the forest to discover new things. I enjoyed map making, I would take a pencil and piece of paper out into to the woods, and spend all day hiking around and constructing elaborate maps. I liked catching bugs, and sketching them at home. I was happy in my new home, but something at the back of my mind kept nagging me. On my seventh birthday, my life was turned around. When I arrived back home from a race with some of the other dwarf kids(I won), my uncle and aunt(they always told me to call them that, not mother and father) had a solemn look on their faces. I dropped my bag near the door, and asked what was going on. A tear came out of my aunties eye, as she dropped to her knee, and hugged me close. My uncle then told me to go on a walk with him, so I did. He explained to me what had happened when I was a baby. He told me that my mother, which I had not seen since I was a baby, had survived and come back to get me. As we left to make a new life, I cried and waved at my aunt and uncle. The sound of the wheels rolling as we rode down the bumpy road in the carriage eventually lulled me to sleep. I awoke in my mother’s lap, with her smiling face staring at me. I got up, and stared around to see a landscape of rolling buildings. “Welcome to Arethor” she said. The next few years seemed to last forever. I was enrolled in a fancy school, where I learned about geography, writing and other things. I was incredibly bored, I yearned for a walk in a forest, to feel the breeze rushing through my hair. With my spare time, I made maps of the roads and buildings, and studied the capitol building. I tried to make new friends, but they all despised me and shunned me. Then 5 years later, I couldn’t last any longer without going back to the dwarves. I pleaded my mother to let me go, to visit my old friends. After a while, with a worried look on her face, you decided she couldn’t coup me up anymore, so she let me go. I was so happy, so free. As I left, waving to her, with my bag strung over my shoulder, I laughed out loud as my hair flew up in the wind. Running down the road, leaping over rocks. When I arrived, I could see the surprise and happiness in my aunt and uncle's faces. We spent 10 minutes of straight hugging and laughing in joy. Later that night, when everything had settled down, my uncle came into my room. “Come with me, I think your read” he said as he tugged me out of bed. Half asleep, I put on some clothes and hobbled out the door after him. When I found him in a field, he had something in his hand. Squinting in the dark, I noticed it was a sword. He twisted his rist and it went flying, landing perfectly right in front of me. “I think your ready” he said. My uncle taught me all a man would ever need to know, how to wield a sword, how to haggle properly, how to skin a deer and many others. I enjoyed it much more than school. I soon joined other childhood friends, and we learned blacksmithing, mining and hand to hand combat. Every month or so I would visit my mother, and tell her about what I was learning. I spent the rest of my teen years training with the dwarves. I became an excellent wielder of a sword, but could never quite get down how to properly use an axe. I am now 25, and ready to leave my old home and take on the world. What is your Character's ambitions?:I want to travel the world, meeting new people, making my mother, uncle and aunt proud of me. I want to make my place in the world, and make an impression on everyone around me. What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):My favorite tool is a Map, since I love map making, and am very good at it. What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?I am good at sketching, map making and sword fighting. A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format): Other Information about your Character: 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?Squinting my eyes in the sun, I walk up to one of the soldiers and tap him on the back. Spinning around, the soldier barks at me “what do you think you're doing? Move along now!”. “I don’t think I can do that” I say, as I grab the handle of my sword, revealing it from beneath my robes. As the other warrior turns around, I see the halfling turn and flee. I manage a smile as I get ready to run. 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? I nod my head to him, “gday” I say with a dwarven accent. I look around the stall, seeing all types of interesting items and nicknacks. Sifting through some old rusty daggers and some cloth, I find a dusty leather book. Picking it up, I blow on it, flooding the air with dust. Squinting at the old text on the front, I can make out the words “Folklore, aegis...”. “Ahhh I had that book before the war, I brought it on the boat.” The man says. “How much?” I ask. “Hmmm, say 150 minas.”. Then the haggling began. 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?: Cracking a smile, I rub some dust off the loot. Looking around the hut, I ensure that this belongs to no one. Reaching into the chest, my hand gets caught in a cobweb. I wave my hand to get it off, but find that my hand won’t budge. Confused, I shake my whole arm. The chest moves on the floor enough for me to notice a plaque beneath it. Forgetting about the strange cobweb, I push the chest even further, until I can see what it says. “Those who are filled with greed shall perish”. As I move the chest of even further, I notice a latch on the plaque. Lifting the latch, I see a small leather journal, a compass, pen and some vials. A note lay on top. Lifting it up, it reads “Only those who are true and pure shall escape alive”. All of a sudden the room goes black, as I hear whispering sounds, skittering and growling. The sounds get closer, loader until they seem to be right next to me. Sweating, scared I grab my sword, swinging it wildly with my hand still stuck in the cobweb. Then it all goes away, and my hand is free. Lurching back, drenched in sweat, I sit there for at least 10 minutes not moving. Eventually I get myself to move and lift the diary out of the hidden cubby. Reading it, I figure out the old inhabitant was an alchemist, and some potions in the cubby where his last gift to the world. 3 of them, one for healing, one for harming and one for speed. Walking out of the hut with the diary and potions, I forget all about the iron bars and gold sword. 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?“Hello there!” I say as I slowly approach. One gets up to shake my hand. In the dim light, he appears to a human. As He leads me to the fireplace, he asks me how I came here. Telling him my story, I look around at the other camp members. Something didn’t seem quite right about them. They each had a shield next to them, bearing a symbol. “So are you soldiers?” I ask, wondering why most of them are wearing armor covered in a little blood. “Yes, yes we are” he answers in a strange voice. Turning around, I notice his face right in front of mine. But his face was strange, it was green, and rotten nearly to the bone. Stepping back shocked, I remember where the insignia on the shields is from. It’s the crest of Oren. These are undead! Twirling around drawing my sword, I leap over the fire, kicking coals everywhere. They don’t seem to be harmed as they slowly approach me. Running to one, I slash out with my sword, catching him on the side, but not before he can grab me on my arm. I frantically twirl around, taking off the rotting arm. Running away, not looking back I head towards where I think the closest city is, to try and warn them. 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?:As I take in this, I notice 3 other young men rushing off to help. I run down to where everyone is gathering, and ask around to try and gather information. I learn that the group has been a nuisance for quite some time now, stealing crops and killing livestock. There is already a flood of young men waiting to fight. “Everyone who has come to help! We are embarking now!” Yells who appears to be the leader of the guard. Men cheer as the gates open up. Lifting up my sword, I join them. Thanks for reading my second app! I like how kind the whitelister was. I’ve tried to join servers where the white listers would troll and be rude. Hope to play soon!

Cratear would walk up and formally greet him. Inspecting the wares, he would ask if the merchant is carrying any rare maps or rare books. If the merchant says yes, he would ask to look at them.

Inside it you see a chest containing a few iron bars, and a golden sword. How would your character respond?:Cratear would look around, making sure no one appears to own it. He then inspects the sword, checking for any imprints by the crafter and how well it was crafted.

If the bandits seem weak, Cratear would attempt to set up traps and mess with them, theoretically making them easy picking for the town guard. Thanks for reading my second app!
