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.):
I’ve been living in Normandor for most of my twenty-five years, until about five months ago when my mother and only parent died from Grish. I have never met my other parent, my father. I don’t know who he is or was, because mother was never willing to talk about her past or father, so I have assumed or even hoped that he died in the destruction of Ageis. When I was younger, only a child, I would imagine that my father was famous, one like the Wandering Wizard, the old High Prince Native, or the previous High Prince Haelphon Addechio. Once I even imagined that Bravepaw, the Seed Bearer was my father, he planted the seed that grew into the Elder Tree Normandor, you know. Anyway, My favorite was always imagining that the Wandering Wizard was my father. I would imagine that the Ascended would come forward to choose me to ascend and that I would help lead the fight against the Undead.
Returning to my more current history of the past five months. During this time I have been in the Wild living in a make shift tree house, this is has probably made a big difference in the fact that I’m still alive, I’m very proud on how well I was able to incorporate nature and a tree into the rest of my home, what can I say, I was taught well. I have also seen my herbology, archery, and nature skills increase. A neat trick I have figure how to do with some mud and sticks is to make my six-foot-four frame disappear into a trees bark, at least from a distance. Those are some of the other reasons that I’m still alive and in the Wilds. Some changes to my appearance because of my current life style is that my skin has become a darker cinnamon, I’ve also incorporated more greens, black, and browns into my outfit, along with a twig or two braded through my hair, I may be in the Wilds but I still try to keep up with fashion by dyeing my hair green. The most notable change is the scar that I received over my left eye, in short I had a close in counter with a wolf and only escaped by climbing a tree, and luckily it didn’t get infected. The largest of my changes have been mental, not physical. My time spent in seclusion has strengthened my morals, my value of life, personal belongings, and my work ethic. I do realize that I am not perfect, that I have at least two flaws. The first is that I am to proud and the second is that I allow my emotions rule my decisions to much, but I am working on these things. Now to end this letter to you, hopefully my future employer, is that I’m coming back into society not only for companionship but also to help others in any way I may.

Other Information about your Character:
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?
Baum would immediately access the situation and then taking the halfling’s side, while e climbs a near by tree, there he stops he stops to think how he can best knock out the two warriors. Baum swiftly decides to shot one in the head, knocking him out and to shoot the other one in the shoulder where there is a gap in the plates of metal. He quickly knocks out the first but before he could shoot the again, the second warrior spots him and uses his ax to hack at the tree Baum is in, he then loses his balance and falls onto the warrior along with the branch Baum was standing on, knocking the man out. Baum looks around and winces, he heavily bruised and scraped his stomach in the fall. When he recovers his breath Baum notes aloud: “Looks like the halfling ran.”
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?
“Oh, hello sir! You wouldn’t happen to have some seeds, arrows, and so medical supplies? No? Well you wouldn’t happen to know where I might get some? You do! Thank you, sir. Here, take a couple out minas for your trouble with me. I’ll be off now to gather those supplies. Thank you again, and good bye!”
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?:
Baum looks in the chest and is uninterested, for one must earn reward through hard work not theft, for even if no one is around that doesn't mean it is unowned. He then leaves a note for the owner if there is one to conceal their belongings in a better manner. He also leaves a few minas for the man or woman.
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?
“ Hello my kind people, would you show your generosity and spare some food for me, as I am starving, please? If you would like I could work some after? My skills in herbology and hunting are superb but, at the moment I lack the tools to hunt, I would be eternally grateful toward you. I might also be able to spare some minas for your trouble. Thank you again for allowing me to trouble you.”
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?:
Baum would quietly agree to help the leader of the party ,and as they walk to eliminate the bandits Baum would stealthily slip into the nearest tree and follow the party that way. As the combat starts Baum looks for members of his party that might be in need of help, making his arrows count. When his arrows are gone he drops out of the tree and uses his ax until they have killed all of the bandits have been killed, captured, or have run. After all has settled he collects his reward, bows to the party leader as he goes on his way.
Anything else you would like to say?:
I hope I changed these enough:
• Your power-emoting definition requires expanding.
• Minor lore inconsistencies. We have been in Asulon for 50 years. Before that, we had a rather eventful war with the Undead, culiminating in us leaving the world as they effectively destroyed it. That wouldn't be called "uneventful".
• You need to include more server lore in your biography. Show us that you are at least a little familiar with the places and major events of our world. You can research the lore on our Wiki here.
• You also need to include a description of your character's appearance and personality in your biography. I'd also like to see reasoning behind your character's herbalism, archery and nature skills.
• Your Open Response Questions need to be expanded. They are all required to be at least one paragraph, and written in full role-play. Some ways to expand on them would be to explain in more detail what your character does, and also explain why they do it, and "what's going through their head" at the moment. You should also include both detailed actions and dialogue in your answers. You should not include "if"s in your response. You are narrating a scenario, not listing the possible courses of events.
