What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): None
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.):
Siol'Iheiu had a rough childhood; his father was a drunk and his mother died giving birth. He may not be alive today if his uncle did not show up to see his new nephew. His uncle saw Siol's poor living conditions and took him back to his home. No-one thinks that Siol's father ever realized his son left. Siol's uncle, Fisvar, was a wealthy and generous man who did all he could to help Siol let go of his past and help him build a new life. But he was too late, Siol had already become distant and detached (not to mention spoiled by being with his uncle). Fisvar realized the only way that he could help Siol was to teach him the basics of living on your own, then he sent him away. Siol was hurt and shocked but Fisvar would not take him back till he learned to forgive, forget, and move on.
Siol is a young elf who is lost in the world. He was adopted by his uncle around the age of 10. His uncle sent him away around the age of 17, and he is now about 23. He has a little bit of a " I shouldn't have to work, do it for me" attitude but will work hard when necessary.
What are your Character's ambitions?: Siol aspires to get acceptance from his uncle, so he wanders trying to reach a new level of maturity and understanding.
What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Fishing pole
What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?He is very patient which greatly helps his ability to fish.

Other Information about your Character: As he wanders he performs odd jobs. Fishing reminds him of his uncle, as that is what they would do together alot. He pretends not to care, but if someone is genuinely hurt or in danger, his emotions show.
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?
Siol:*sarcastically*"Hey nice idea, rob those that are weaker than you!"
Warrior1:"What, you got a problem with that?"
Warrior2:"I bet this guy has more money than this halfling!"
Siol:"No, no! I just wear these clothes to look rich, uh... lets mug this halfling!"
Siol pretends to tackle the halfing onto the grass and whispers in his ear,"Im on your side, trust me, give me your money sack!"
The halfling is skeptical but without the warriors noticing, he slips Siol his money sack.
Siol:"Now play along."
Siol picks up and fakes shaking the halfling, then blatantly checks for money.
Siol:" This halfling is broke! You should move on before a guard shows up."
The warriors groan and start to leave.
Warrior2:"So why do you want to look ri-"
Warrior1:"Hey! Move before a gaurd comes like he said!"
Siol hands the money sack back to the halfling.
Siol:" Those two weren't the sharpest sword in the Blacksmith shop. You should put a bounty on them regardless.*mischievous face*"
Halfling:"Thank you...here take some of the money, you deserve it."
Siol:"Thanks, I have to go now though. Be more careful next time."
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?
Siol:"Oh, Uh, do you have any Jasmine tea? And have you been following the fish market lately?"
Merchant:" As for the tea, we gots Black, Green, Oolong, White and Pu'erh, and ifs yous prefers herbal teas instead, we gots Rooibos and an assortment of fruit teas, but no jasmine. If you want fish, I have ye good olde salmon and some trout!"
Siol:"Hm, I think I'll get one pound of Oolong. I need fishing supplies, not fish."
Merchant:*lifts a small bag*"That'll be two minas...Thank you kindly. Theres a fishing shop if you head that way and go right, you cant miss it. Now off with 'ya, you're holding up the line!
Siol walks away grumbling " Nice doin' business with 'ya' "
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?:He would come to the conclusion that either something scared the owner enough to have to leave behind these valuables behind, the owner was killed, or there is a crazy woodsman still living here, whatever the case, he would run as fast as he could in a different direction.
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?
Siol:"Alright, you there, how much are you selling a map for?"
Merchant:" 3 minas for a map of this surrounding area."
Siol:" I'll get back to you.*goes up to another merchant* How much for your map?
Other Merchant:*He proudly states*" 6 minas for a map that goes farther than the eye can see!"
Siol:" Ooh, ouch. Too bad your map costs so much, that good sir is selling a map for just 3 minas. I think I'll get a map from him unless..."
Other Merchant:" Aaahrg.... no, 6 minas!"
Siol:" Alright, your choice...."*turns to leave*
Other Merchant:"5 minas."
"3"
"4"
"2"
"4"
"Goodbye."
Other Merchant:" Fine! You win! 3 minas..."
Siol:"Why thank you!"
*Siol accepts the map and pays the merchant then quickly exits the camp, taking a loaf of bread from a stall counter, leaving a mina in its place while the other merchant goes to the first merchant and realizes his blunder. Siol laughs to himself at the sight and begins to walk faster.*
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?: Siol realizes that he has enough money to not have to risk life and limb to get more. He nonchalantly gets out of the leaders sight to as to not be dragged in.
Anything else you would like to say?: I really look forward to playing on this server if you'll have me! I can't wait to develop my character further.
