With his father gone, and the family farm failing, Atius was left to learn quickly. He soon discovered he was a naturally skilled archer, and was even able to keep his father’s farm running. When he was eighteen, Atius joined the Guard. When he returned, he found his mother had passed away from plague, and the Kingdom had seized his land.

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?I step into brush beside the road to conceal myself.. I’ve traveled the path to Cloud Temple countless times. This road is often used by ill prepared pilgrims on their religious journey to Cloud temple. It isn’t uncommon to see some defenseless traveler being harassed by bandits or raiders.
Concealed by the brush, I creep closer to the warriors. I hear the Halfling pleading for mercy, “Please sir, I’ve given you all my gold! Let me pass, I mean no trouble.” One of the warriors draws knife. With that, I draw my bow, and ready an arrow. Then I remember, I am a simple farmer and trader. My mother wouldn't want me to put my life in jeopardy because of some halfling. I leave the Halfling to his fate. Anyone who wants to survive these roads at night should come prepared.
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?I stopped in my tracks. The sound of someone’s voice was a surprise after a three day journey alone from cloud city. I tell the merchant I would be grateful if you would point me to the nearest inn. I’ve been traveling for a long time. He kindly points me toward the local tavern where I rent a room for the night.
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?:The hut is obviously abandoned. Outside, overgrown weeds fill what was once a garden. When I open the door to the hut the smell of rot hits me like a brick. I brace myself and enter. Inside, flies swarm in a frenzy around sacks of spoiled food, and the uneaten dinner on the table. Whoever was staying here left in a hurry, and hasn’t been back in months. Before I leave, I salvage any valuables from the shack.
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?After introducing myself, I trade the little gold I have with me for a loaf bread. I wait out the night with the guards near the fireplace beside the trading post. Regretfully, we drink wine until dawn. In the morning when I finally wake from my drunken slumber, the traders give me directions to Cloud Temple.
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?:Hunting season has been slow this season. On top of that, the farm is barely feeding me lately. Some extra gold would help out a lot. Fighting bandits may be dangerous, but it’s hard to find easy work these days. I approach a guard and tell him I would happily help chase off the bandits. Luckily, I wore my armor today.
Anything else you would like to say?:I had fun filling out this application and look forward to playing on this server.
