It seems Malikoy Vineperch's decision to visit Kalos was his best in a while. Although his search for iron wasn't going very well, he stumbled upon something else of great interest. After a short conversation, Malikoy had already decided he wanted to join The Guard of Reims. He ripped the parchment from Father Edward's hands as though somebody else sought to fill the vacancy before him. After apologizing to Father Edwards for his lack of formality, he ran to find somewhere to fill out the application form in peace. He figured the abandoned house would be as good a place as any, plucked a piece of charcoal from the fireplace and began to fill out the form...

Tell us about yourself:

Malikoy's lack of interest in wealth and power does not reflect his rich upbringing in the estates of Malinor at all. His evil parent's were not at all bothered when their son decided to travel the world of Anthos rather than take up their tax collection lifestyle at the age of 19. Malikoy's distant relationship with his parent's became an extremely beneficial aspect in his life. From a very early age Malikoy would escape his family and venture the magical Elven forests where he gained his most favored skills of climbing and archery, and bonded with the wildlife deep in the Elven lands.

Malikoy hopes to apply his brave and caring personality in a profession where he will protect the people of Anthos and become part of a new community and perhaps one day have a house and a family of his own.

Why do you want to join?:

I believe my skills in Archery and combat will provide the Guard with a valuable asset. I also wish to learn and uphold the ways of the Creator and defend the Bishop and the Cathedral of Reims. 

What do you wish to achieve?:

I wish to become a valuable part of the Guard, become a part of the community the guard is based in and uphold the ways of the Creator.

Reims Guard Oath: 

I Malikoy Vineperch pledge my blade to the Holy Cathedral of Reims, and to serve and protect the land which the Creator hath blessed. I swear upon the Holy Lorraine Cross that i will follow the Church of the Faith's teachings faithfully and dutifully, I will attend Mass every Elven week and show respect to members of the Clergy and fellow defenders of the Cathedral of Reims.

Malikoy Vineperch was born in The Elven Tree Isle deep in Normandor. Malikoy was brought up in an afluent household, although he saw his parents wealth as a burden. Malikoys parents

were in charge of tax collection and weren't the most genuine Elves in the Tree Isle. Malikoy looked down upon their jobs and lifestyle, he immersed himself deep into the Elven Forest where

it really felt like home. At the age of 11 he had already learned to handle a bow and was a fairly skilled hunter. He would disappear for days and sleep under the stars amongst

the creatures that inhabitted the vast forest. Malikoy isn't the materialistic type at all and didn't fit into the the rich lifestyle most of The Elven Tree Isle lived. He is a quiet, humble

person who enjoyed hearing of his ansestors history of Malin and the three sons in the great war against Iblees. He is an independent person who enjoys his own company. He doesn't rely on anyone

not even his parents and isn't the most outgoing type. Although he is brave, caring and likes to help the less fortunate people of Normandor by hunting food for them and showing them how to survive

in the wild. Malikoy is a small, slim person with long blonde hair that dangles down his green tunic. His amazing green eyes can catch any slight movement below from the trees he scales so

effortlessly. He wears brown thick leggings that suit his energetic, wild lifestyle and wears a leather brown headband to keep his long hair preventing his eyesight.

By the age of 16 Malikoy could take down a bird from 100 foot away. He was well renowned to the poor people of Normandor and his relationship with his parents had gone from bad to worse. He

now lived in the Elven Forest high in the trees. He would disapear from The Elven Tree Isle for months while he explored The Elven Plains. He had always wanted to travel to travel to the Orcish deserts

and befriend and Orc as he found from stories of Krug and the orcish race that they are the most honorable, genuine and respectful people in Asulon, also much alike Malikoy they are not amazing

with people. Malikoy is now 19 years old and plans to travel to the Orcish Deserts with just his bow, a sheath of arrows and a bag of essentials.

Other Information about your Character: Malikoy despises Dwarves as he thinks they are greedy and uncaring.

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?

Unarming my bow i swiftly pull an arrow from my quiver, i fit the arrow into the bow and pull back the string. I let the string loose and the arrow cuts through the air and roots itself deep

into a tree to the right of the two. Hearing the powerful, death renching sound of the arrow the men jerk their heads my way and back away a little. They pair emerge from the opening in

the forest and stand across to me on the path. They look questionly at eachother with their swords hanging gripped in their hands. A cocky smile stretches across one of their faces. I shout

towards them with the most intimidating voice i can concoct "Depart from this place humans! And leave the child!" Hoping to god they follow out my request. In seconds i arm my bow and aim it at

the pair. Shouting again "I said walk on!". The pair hesitate before backing off and walking down the path. I walk towards the opening and jerk my head to the child, ordering him to follow, as

jubilous as i that the pair walked on, he runs towards me and thanks me and we head off down the path.

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?

Slowly approaching the man i'd address him "Any flint?". The man eagerly states in a loud excited voice "I got jus what ya need ere friend!". I'd throw some Minas onto the counter from a

pouch hanging from my belt. The man pulls a box from under the counter and throws it onto the counter "Jus' 12 Minas should do the trick!" Winking at me as he says it. I push the Minas towards him

take up the box. Nodding and smiling to the man i'd walk away. Shouting from behind me "Make sure ya come back friend! I'll av new stuff tomorrar!"

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?:

Emptying space in my bagpack. I throw two logs from my bag and insert four of the Bars. I'd walk outside the hut and look around, confirming that the hut is infact abandoned. I drop the bag at the sideof a ruined table. Pulling the door shut, i throw the two logs into the old fireplace and use the flint to work up a spark and set the logs alight. Pulling off my tunic i throw it to the side of the

dusty old bed and climb up onto it. With my dagger in my right hand i fade into a deep sleep.

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?

Stumbling out of the forest into the opening, i slouch to the ground. Ripping of my bag back i throw it infront of me and root through it. Pulling out four iron bars and pushing them towards the

concerned man that approached my degraded form. I look up to him, out of breath and dizzy "Food" i say inarticulatly. The man runs back to his tent and rumages through it. The rest of the camp

have stopped what they're doing and are watching me questioningly. The man drops a pouch of cooked fish infront of me and crouches. He addresses my squinting eyes "What is your business here friend?

You don't look well at all." I look to the man with my mouth stuffed with cooked fish, "Clow.." I swallow the rest of my food. "Cloud Temple". The man pulls me up and shows me the direction. I grab

my bag and throw it back over my shoulder, "Thank you" i state to the man. "Thank you" i keep repeating to him still out of breath, as if i can't thank him enough. I walk off into the forest and

head of in the direction the man pointed 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?:

I stop eating my soup, throw my bag over my shoulder and head out of the Inn. I set of at a sprint towards the town gate to see if what the villagers in the Inn were saying was true.

There is a large group of guards immersed in something the middle guard is holding. I peer around the group and see they are holding a map, on the map an area outside the town is circled. Clearing

my throat to get the groups attention, they all look up to me and lower the map "In need of a bow?". The middle guard looks to me "That's not a toy child, maybe when you're older". I pull an arrow

from my quiver and swiftly arm the bow, aiming to a tree outside the gate, i look to the guards and confirm they are all staring intensly. I let the string loose. The arrow cuts through the air and

roots itself into the lowest branch in the tree. I look to the guards while i put my bow back on my back. The guard raises his eyebrow and nods "100 Minas reward, 7 or more bandits. Can you climb?"

I smile to the guard "As well as i can shoot".
