Character Name: Noroha Aleworthy
What Race are you? (You may only be Human, Orc, Elf or Dwarf!) : Dwarf
What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race) :
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.) : ( Noroha Aleworthy was born in a small mining town in the middle of nowhere. She has wavy, short, dark brown hair, vibrant green eyes, and a sturdy figure. She is curious, headstrong, excitable, and can be a little rebellious against authority figures. She is about 15. She and her mother tended to a small pub while her father worked in the mines. The pub was known as "The Ironpick Pub", because everyday after work, the miners would gather and drink (while telling raunchy stories, which won't be mentioned here.) However, she slowly grew tired of cooking and cleaning everyday. She craved excitement and adventure. She felt a sharp pang of jealousy watching boys go to combat training every morning while she helped open the pub.
Although she loved the pub, she hated working there. She craved excitement and adventure, not cooking and cleaning. During her spare time, she practiced with a small wooden battleaxe she bought from the local weapon smith. In her head, she would go on great adventures. Making allies, slaying beasts, and not to mention drinking great amounts of ale. (She secretly drank a bit out of a barrel once. Shh!) However, in the end, she was still confined to the pub. She was going to take action.
On a quiet summer night, although she is not proud of it, she snuck into an old tool shed. She grabbed an iron batteaxe, a few tools, and ran away from home. As she was leaving, she felt guilty. She couldn't bare to think of the looks on her parents' faces when they learned of her disappearance. She promised to herself that she would come back to visit one day. Everyone would see how great and powerful she was, and not just the tom-boyish girl that worked in the pub.
At first, she did not intend to find somewhere else to live. She hadn't thought about it before she left. It was only until a few months later she stumbled upon a land called Asulon.
What are your Character's ambitions?: To have many adventures and to prove her worth.
What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc:( Her favorite tool is her iron battleaxe, which she shamefully took from a tool shed back in her hometown.

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? Not thinking of the possible consequences, she walks up to them, battleaxe ready, and tells them to back off. They may not take her seriously at first, as she appears to be just a bold little girl. Because of this, she snaps and lets loose a long string of obscene words in their faces. This causes them to rough her up a bit, giving the halfling just enough time to yell "Thank you!" and escape. "No problem, luv!" she yells back while swiftly swinging her axe.
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? "Just lookin' round'." she replies. She glances at what he has to offer when her eyes widen. An axe handle, with intricate stainless steel design wrapped around it. "See something you like?" the man asks. "I was just wonderin', how much for the lovely axe handle right there?" she asks. "150 gold pieces." he answers. "I...uhm... I think I hear someone callin' me." she says quickly, and dashes off, leaving the man with a puzzled expression. She never could keep a steady job.
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?: Noroha took the things from the chest and started to put the sword in her belt when she saw her battleaxe glimmering. It reminded her of running away, and when she took it. She was ashamed. She put the iron and sword back in the chest. Besides, what if someone still lived there? No point in stealing someone's belongings. Sure, she could have used that sword, but the guilt would have her down and thinking of home later.
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? Noroha greets them back and introduces herself. She politely asks for a bit of food and drink. In return, she helps cooks up a grand feast for dinner, including 5 barrels of freshly brewed ale.
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?: Jumping on any chance for an adventure, she immediately volunteers. The next morning, she and a few others head out to the road. Their plan was very thought out. Noroha was the only girl in the group. Appearing to be a helpless little girl, she would be the bait. As she walked down the road, the others hid in the bushes. The bandits approached her, acting like gentleman as they made chit chat. That's when one pulled out a knife. "Give us what's in the bag." he said. "Well...okay..." she compliantly agreed. She slowly opened her bag, grabbing onto a wooden handle. "Think fast, you mis'rable scum." she said as she pulled out her battleaxe. The bandits jumped back, dodging the axe's blade by inches. This was when the men jumped out of the bushes. Needless to say, the bandits were slaughtered.
Anything else you would like to say?:
((OOC: The P key on my computer is broken. I have to copy and paste any P I may need to use. Please forgive me if I take a little long to respond. I will have Notepad open with a capital and lowercase P.))
(( I like to think of this as Noroha's themesong:
I do not own this song. All rights go to their respectful owners.
