This must include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):My mother died when I was 7, when a band of raiders burned down our house and stole our livestock. I was able to lock eyes with a man that had a scar the length of his face, and a blind milky eye. He ran out of the front door as he dropped a torch in a pile of lamp oil on the floor. As the house went up in flames, I ran out of the back door. As I did so I saw my father chasing a man with a severed hand with his already bloodied woodcutters axe. I then realized my mother was nowhere to be found. I ran back into the house, but the smoke was so heavy I couldn't see 2 feet in front of me. I ran back outside screaming for my mother, when I heard a high pitched cry for help coming from above. I looked up just in time to see my mother standing on the roof of our house, screaming, as the fiery tongues of the flames enveloped her. I never saw her again. I went around to the front of the house, tears streaming down my face, as I had just lost the only person I had really loved. Sure, she had sometimes fallen to drink and told me I was worthless. And once or twice hit me with a birch switch, but I'm sure that I deserved it. My mother, my love, my lifeline, was gone. As I rounded the corner of the house, I saw my father's axe come down on the back of the neck of the raider that had his hand severed. As the head rolled towards me, I gasped and took a step back as I realized the raider was an orc. I leaned down, peering into the forever frozen eyes of the once breathing, living individual. I silently cursed that head, and the body, and every single orcish being in the entire realm of Asulon. I knew that one day, I would avenge my mother, and find and kill the man with the milky eye. 14 years later, I am still looking. I have not found him yet, but I promised myself on that warm night 14 years ago, that I would not rest until that man was brought to justice. What are your Character's ambitions?:To find and kill the man with the Milky Eye. What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):A bow. What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?Being able to shoot a plum off of a stump 15 yards away.

Open-Response-QuestionsEach 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 have a flashback of that night, when the Milky Eyed man grabbed the sack of money, the only money, that we have ever had. I feel that I need to do my duty as a protector of the weak. I unsheathe my sword, and stab it into the soft, moist dirt next to me. The warriors turn around, and start speaking in a tongue that I do not understand. They both start taking long, meaningful strides towards me, so I raise my bow, arrow in bowstring, and send an arrow at the closest man. He deflects it off of his shield, and lunges at me with his sword. I take a small step to my right as his sword makes a 3 inch long cut down my left calf. Thankfully the wound isn't deep. As his momentum carries him past, I turn towards the second attacker. I am quick enough that I can dodge his attack and pull my sword out of the dirt as my bow clatters to the ground. He turns around and I block his swing with my sword. I then turn my body so that the leverage of my sword can hopefully disarm him. As I push with all of my might, I see that his grip is loosening, and I make one final effort to push. The sword comes loose and falls to the ground. I then swing my body back around and thrust my sword under a loose plating in his armor, right through his liver. As of this day, I still remember the shock and fury in that man's eyes. Shock being that a small being like myself could overpower him, and fury at himself that he had allowed it to happen. I pulled my sword out of his abdomen as he slipped to the ground, and out of consciousness. With my attention focused on his companion, the other warrior had managed to regain his balance and swing at me once more. His attack was coming from overhead, and I blocked it by turning with my sword over my head, creating a diagonal barrier between me and his blade. However, him being bigger than I, he was able to kick me in the stomach with his right foot. I stumbled back, and regretfully dropped my sword in the dirt as I fell. I lunged for the hilt if my blade, but my attacker's hand was quicker. He grabbed it, and smirked as he threw my best chance of survival down the slope next to the path. Thinking that he had a big advantage over me, he let his guard down. I leapt towards him, as his balance was off after throwing the sword, and managed to knock him to the ground. His sword fell out of his reach, and as he groped through the dirt towards it, I ripped the helmet off of his head. Astonished, the man turns to look at me as I bash him square in the temple with his own guard piece. I drag the bodies of the wounded, one fatally, and one temporarily, into the woods. I retrieve the halfling's small sack of coins from the larger of the two men, and hand it back to him. He thanks me, and gives me 4 minas as a token of his gratitude. After making sure the halfling was on his way, and the bodies were well hidden, I continued on my journey. 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? Hello, I have just returned from the Cloud Temple. I need 5 new arrows, as I lost three hunting, and two shattered as they hit the bones of my prey. I also need 4 pieces of wool, a compass, and a bottle of water. However, I only have 7 minas. If I trade you 8 pieces of leather for the 5 arrows and the compass, do you think i can get the wool and water at 6 minas for the lot? 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?: I would never dare take things from another soul, only a fallen soldier that I have conquered. Stealing from an empty cabin is not only wrong, it reminds me of the night my mother was killed. However, since there was a thick layer of dust over the surface of the floor and chest, I thought it would be better to just take the items, and possibly sell them at the nearest marketplace. 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? I tell them that I have been wandering these lands for days. I offer to trade a 4 pieces of leather for a good meal, and 6 feathers for a place to rest for the night. They happily oblige, as they tell me they haven't had a good trade in many days. The many zombies and skeletons keep most of their customers at bay, as the road leading there goes through a narrow canyon, an obvious death trap for unsuspecting civilians. 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?: I tell the leader that I am handy with a bow, and he tells me that a long range weapon will come in handy greatly on this mission. Among the thoughts going through my head, "Do I have enough arrows to dispatch as many men needed?" and "I wonder how much the reward is." There was also the thought that the Milky Eyed man could be in the same camp that we were about to engage. The hairs on the back of my neck rise as I think of the night so long ago. The look on his face, the screams of my mother, the smell of the Orc head that will forever haunt me. But I push all of those things to the back of my mind. I must not think about killing the Milky Eyed man, but of the task that lies ahead. I must do my best to rid the world of evil, but believe me, if the opportunity arose, I would not hesitate to send an arrow through the heart of the man that destroyed all of the good that was in my world 14 years ago. Anything else you would like to say?: Great server, great roleplay, great experience so far, and I am still but a wandering soul!

I have ended the pitiful lives of 6 men that fell in with orcs, but regretfully none of them had said scar, and had two eyes that had both been operational in the near past. I vowed, on that warm night 14 years ago, that i would not rest until that man was brought to justice. Until i find him, no orcman, orc, or savage of any sort, is safe from me.

The second man, frustrated at his partner's death, charges me. I dodge his attack and wrench the sword out of the earth. As his momentum carries him past, i slice at a ***** in his armor by his thigh. He falls to the ground, crying out in pain. As i walk over, he tries to hand me the halfling's satchel. I push it to the ground and put my blade just underneath his chin. He is not the man that i was hoping. I slice two identical slashes in his cheeks, and render him unconsious with the hilt of my blade. I then walk back over to the halfling and hand him his satchel. He mutters something and runs off.

Not for the money, but for the possibility that the Milky Eyed man is in the party of bandits. I load my sheathe with my iron tipped arrows and test the drawback on my bow. I am ready. Not only to shed blood of cowards, but to possibly finish what the Milky Eyed man started 14 years ago. Anything else you would like to say?: I realize that it hasn't been 24 hours since i was denied, i accidentally clicked the wrong button when trying to preview. Please still consider my submission.
