Character Name: Millanaeus Hopkinson

What Race are you? (You may only be Human, Orc, Elf or Dwarf!) : Human

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): Southeron

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.): Millanaeus Hopkinson was born nobility Alras, where he grew up in an atmosphere of privilege. People who knew his family always compared Millanaeus's looks to his father’s, a middle-aged politican, having similar green eyes and dark blonde hair. At the age of seven, Millanaeus’s family migrated to the city of Arethor, capital of the Holy Oren Empire. Millanaeus’s father was later apprehended for embezzling Imperial funds and getting in quite a lot of trouble with the city of Arethor, turning Millanaeus’s life upside down. As his mother forced young Millanaeus to get a job, now a six-foot, dashing young man, his resentment grew. After nearly burning down an old lady’s house due to neglect while cooking, Millanaeus lost any hope of finding work in the city. Down on his luck and in need of work, Millanaeus persuaded his way into a caravan as a guard. Walking for miles with the caravan was hard work, but each night around a camp fire, Millanaeus fascinated the others with strange tales and his knowledge in politics.

One day while traveling near Solace the caravan was attacked by bandits. Nearly escaping with his life, Millanaeus abandoned his post and ran off into the woods. He wasn’t much of a survivalist, but quick-thinking and a silver tongue helped him to persuade travelers to help him find food and shelter. Finally arriving in the city of Solace, Millanaeus worked the markets, buying and selling goods for large profits. Now much richer than before, Millanaeus threw his hat into the politics arena, speaking at local taverns and inns about political issues and gaining a small following. He knew the issues well, and became famous as a voice for reform. Solace wasn’t the place for naïve political thinking, and Millanaeus set out to travel the south, searching for a place to where his skills could be of use.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Compass

Each and every question must be answered with a minimum of a single full paragraph and entirely in RP.

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

Stay quiet, though Millanaeus to himself, just stay quiet. Why was he breathing so heavily? Perched behind a large oak tree he sat and waited. Just ahead of him through the thick early morning mist, on the cracked, mossy streets fallen into disrepair, stood two warriors and a Halfling. Millanaeus smiled slowly as the sun’s rays pierced his hideout.

“Just leave me ‘lone!” shouted the Halfling, breathing heavily and stricken with fear. The Halfling hesitantly stepped backward, stumbling. The two men laughed. The first man, clearly an experienced warrior, standing nearly six feet talk and processing exceptional brawn, stood talk holding an old, metal sword and wearing some sort of pieced together leather armor. To his right his shadow cast onto a small man with a stone axe, both towering over the frightened Halfling traveler. Millanaeus slowly stood up from his hideout, causally walking to the road. The warriors turned with a jerk, still keeping an eye on the Halfling.

“Well, what da’ we got over her’?” asked the large warrior in a raspy, coarse voice. The other warrior chuckled, staring down Millanaeus.

“What you want?” shouted the smaller warrior in broken tongue, arching over and pacing in place, almost paranoid. Millanaeus thought quickly, pondering his next action.

“I’m just here for business”Millanaeus spoke slowly. “How about a deal?” The men looked at him confused, looking back to each other and then at the Halfling. “Right now seven armed men surround you to the north, south, and east. They all are aiming at you ready to strike.”

“Which one of us they aiming at-?”

“Shut up!” shouted the larger of the two, glancing an angry look at the other warrior. Although the larger warrior tried to give the impression of courage and might his gaze shifted from side to side, paranoid of the men that were claimed to surround him.

“Come on Todd, it’s not even worth it!” spoke the smaller of the two. Todd seemed to be in thought for a moment before reluctantly running off, dropping his weapon. The two warriors ran down the road as Millanaeus chuckled. There were no armed men. The Halfling looked up at him as Millanaeus walked toward him.

“Now where’s my reward?”

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?:

The vivid colors of market stalls and flags decorate the area as I walk through Alras. People crowd the streets with goods to buy and sell. Suddenly a man from a stand calls out to me.

" 'Ello there, what can I do you for today?" asks the man.

Staring at the man as he tries to twist my views and convince me to buy his goods, I am in disgust, finally snapping.

“Get away from me you fool.” I say, as that low-life tries turns away. I walk away quickly.

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?:

Although I don’t know much about survival and priorities, the abandoned house is a lot better than outside in the cold. Stealing isn’t really what I do, so even though I know that the items there can be valuable I leave them. As much as I hate to admit it, I find it difficult to hide in the wild at night. I sleep slightly paranoid in the house and the next morning start running for the nearest city.

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?:

I would greet the group, doing my best to persuade them to let me stay with them for the night. The local people know how to get back to the city and I use this to get back quickly the next morning.

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?:

I’m not much of a fighter but upon hearing about the bandits I’d do anything to make a quick buck. If that means selling information or equipment, then so be it. I would buy many survival supplies and sell them to the highest bidder. Everyone needs them, so why not pay me? In the end we’re all happy.

Anything else you would like to say?: Thank you for the time you have taken to read this. Can’t wait to get on the server and meet you all!

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? I would approach the two warrior, and ask them what exactly they're doing. If it turns out the halfling was guilty of something, I would be on my way. If they were stealing, I'd attempt to convince the two warriors that they should return the money. If they couldn't be convinced, I'd leave. I try to avoid violence whenever possible, even when the right thing might means stepping in.

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.

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? I'd ask them for some food and a place to stay. Of course, after getting home from my adventure, I'd send them soem money as a reward for helping me in the wilderness.
