What Race are you? (You may only be Human, Orc, Elf or Dwarf!) : Human
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.):
Cethlam was a simple lad, raised in the village Ager by his two parents Anann and Bretta Marwick. Life wasn’t always easy for little ol’ Ceth after his mother died he often found himself lying in the dirt holding his face with his father talking about how useless he was. He tried and tried to impress Anann but never managed he always thought it was simply harsh love and he needed someone to take the anger for his mother out on but deep down he knew, his father was an evil man.
He was about 12 when his father hauled him up from his bed, dumped him in the back of a cart and simply shouted “Take this somewhere far away, will ya’” The cart was heading for Arethor the capital of the Holy Oren Empire. He awoke cold and alone in some back alley of an unfamiliar place. Days went by and The city changed as did Cethlam, he was now 18, well so he thought, keeping track of birthdays in the slums was not the easiest of things, but he still tried to celebrate even if it the month changed every year. This time was no exception he headed down to the local tavern and ordered the cheapest ale, moneys not easy to come by for a poor man.
As he sat in the corner drinking alone he saw four unfamiliar faces stroll on in through the bar he noticed the armour and realised they’d been traveling quite far, with ale in hand he wandered over to the group and simple gave them a nod and examined their equipment more, these guys looked like serious fighters so he decided to take his chances and ask.
“You fellows happen to have space for one more? i’m a man with nothing to lose you see and I’m looking for something more interesting than wasting my days in this soddin’ inn.”
One of the more beefier ones looked him up and down and said
“Well, what can you do?”
“Drink, sing, and run. thats about it.” Cethlam replied
The man let out a hearty laugh and turned to his companions whispering something that Cethlam couldn't quite make out what they were talking about when one of the smaller ones turned around and cracked his neck
“If ye can beat me in a fist fight you may be up to scratch laddy”
Cethlam simply looked at the man and let out a slightly chuckle
“alright then.”
The group stumbled out of the door and into the empty street, the air was damp and a cool breeze was in the air. The smaller guy quite obviously a dwarf didn't even give cethlam a chance to prepare and came charging straight at Cethlam smacking him right in the groin sending him falling to the ground grasping his manhood. The group of 4 chuckled and the little man laughed offering his hand out to Cethlam
“Only joking you can come with us, we’ll teach ye how to fight.”
That day had changed Cethlams life forever the group that wandered into the pub were now like family. Illin, Garth, Caln, and Briac they taught him how to fight and handle himself through the years. He Spent a good 12 years (making him aged 30) with the group, travelled to many places, seen many things but he realised he wanted something more than this nomadic lifestyle, he wanted to mean something and to make something of himself before age finally closed the door on his brief existence. This was when he parted ways with the group and headed back to Arethor but this time with money in his pocket and a plan in mind, to make something of himself.

Open-Response-Questions
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?
After hearing the commotion Cethlam walks over to the two
“So what's going on here? you fellows seem mighty riled up.”
The halfling cowering in fear looks up at Cethlam and lets out a slight whimper as the two warriors turn around one of them begins to talk
“none of your business mate, now bugger off unless you wana end up in a ditch without your head.”
Cethlam lets out a hearty laugh as the warriors go for the swords, his laughter stops and his face turns deadly serious
“Are you two sure you want to do that? I mean you can do it if you want but it might be a bad idea.”
without hesitation the duo charge with a mighty roar, without much time to react cethlam rolls to the side and reaches for his sheathed blade.
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?
“well depends have you got anything better than this behind the counter?”
Cethlam begins to observer the wares and realises the stall is offering mostly jewelry and assorted nik naks.
“yeah I don't think you have anything I could use”
The shopkeeper raises a finger and without a word reaches below the counter to pull up a stick, but not just any stick, a golden stick, a gold stick that shined. Cethlam stared at it for a bit then looks up at the shop keeper and then back at the stick he then swiftly turns around and walked in the complete opposite direction.
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?:
As he walks into the hut he can see the dust floating around in the air and comes to the conclusion that no ones been here for years, sliding his feet across the floor he kicks what seems like a chest letting up a great cloud of dirt the chest snaps open and Cethlams eyes light up with joy as he see’s its contents. Shoveling it into his bag as fast as he can he moves out of the hut and continues his journey.
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 into the camp Cethlam quickly attracts the attention of its residents they all quickly look up and seem alarmed by his presence. Barely managing to rasp out the words Cethlam says
“food.. water... anything please.”
when he drops to his knees and stares back at the rag tag group of traders until one of them responds, it is soon met by one of them asking how he got there. Cethlam simply looks up and points and his mouth and makes the motion of eating.
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.

Cethlam gathers up his things and heads to find the captain of the party promptly saying
“I heard you can give me money if I help sort out some ruffians? now if I get the payment upfront i’ll gladly walk down that road with my arse out shouting at them bandits until they come out and say hi.”
