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.):
Background:
I was born a happy healthy infant to, the first, and only child of my parents.. We were a very poor family, barely scraping together the money needed to sustain ourselves. I lived in these wretched conditions, the life of a squatter for the first 21 years of my life, until my father decided that it was too much, that we should not have to live this way. He found that the only way to get his child and beloved wife the life that they deserved was to sell himself into labour. Slave traders brought him to the northern labour camps a week latter. My mother wept for weeks, although i don’t remember much of that time, I do remember my mother’s sobs... the only time I ever heard her cry.
My mother and I were able to buy a home in Normandor, and food for many years with the money that the Slave Trader had payed for my father, but it would not be enough to sustain us forever. We had to find work. After almost a month of job searching we found work as the assistants to a seamstress. It was hard work, but it payed enough to get them by, and it was much better than the life we lived on the streets. We almost lived a life of luxury... but although I don’t really remember him, I wished my father was there to see us thrive.
We worked, and lived for almost 20 years before we go the letter. The letter that tore my mother to shreads. My father had passed away. Turns out the mines he had been working in had collapsed. Some “accident” with high explosives. My mother was never the same. She stopped working, and stopped speaking. She spent her days rooting at the window sill. it was as if she was waiting for him... waiting for him to come home. Seeing my mother like this tore me apart, and we once again struggled to get by, my part time income not proving to be enough.
My mother remained in that state for well over a year, before she passed. The local medicine man, said that it seemed that she had simply lost the will to live. I vowed that I would not make the same mistakes my mother did, that I would use what my father had died to give us to give back to people, to see the world, and to live the fulfilled the life my mother could not after the loss of my father.
I write this down as i write down all things, so that i can remember, so that I always know what drives me, and why I am who I am.

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?
Sorcha watches the horrible scene, and can not help but be sickened by these horrible men harassing the helpless halfling. Unwilling to let these tyrants go unpunished, and unable to do anything herself, she runs to the local town and tells the guard of what she saw. The 3 guards hurry down the road, and Sorcha waits in town for them to return with the poor halfling.
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?
Sorcha smiles at the jolly merchant “Hello, I am looking to buy a bundle of apples. Hmm.... Do you have any ‘Red delicious’?”
The man shakes his head, “Sorry Ma’am, fresh out. We’ll have a fresh batch tomorrow however.”
“Oh Dear... I’m afraid that’ll be too late. I guess i’ll just have to keep looking.” Sorcha notices the frown on the man’s face as she turns to leave.
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?:
Sorcha’s face lights up as she stumbles upon the loot. She digs into the chest and retrieves the shiny iron bars, but that smile fades after a moment when she realises how horrible it would be of someone took one of her very few possessions. She places the bar of iron, and turns to leave, happy that she made the right choice in the face of temptation.
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?
“‘ello miss.” says the finely dressed merchant. From where Sorcha stands she can see a total of 3 men, 2 of them are dressed in fine silks and furs, the last appears to be a sell sword, clad in dented, and rusted armour.
Sorcha attempts to speak but struggles to get out the words. She clears her throat loudly before responding “H-ello. My name is Sorcha.”
“Ah, well come sit down Miss Sorcha, ye look tired.” Says the second merchant.
“Thank you. Could you perhaps spare some food?” She responds
The merchants responded simultaneously, both laughing loudly.
“Ye don’t think we could get this wealthy by handing out free food do ya?” belows the one that had greeted her to begin with.
“I-I don't have the coin to pay though..and I am so hungry.”
“Sorry Miss. feel free to rest by our fire, we are off to bed.” He points to the Sell sword, “Make sure she don’t steal anyt’ing.”
The sell sword waits for them to enter their tents before approaching Sorcha, “Too cheap te keep breathin’ air if ye ask me. But if they stopped breathing air, I would be out a job” He smiles at her. “ ‘ere take this, I already ate, and am not too hungry now.” He hands her a large slice of bread.
“Oh, sir I can not thank you enough!” she says as she greedily eats te large slice of bread.
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?:
Watches as the brave men of her small town gather at the gate. The leader did not discriminate when it came to help in the battlefield. she saw farmers, and their boys, as well as simple bakers and merchants, all gathered to defend their small town. Only one ideal goes through her head as she watches the villagers assemble for the battle. ‘Why must there always been violence, people fighting each other. Why can we not live together, and work together.’ Tears pour from her eyes. She know that many of these brave men will not return to their wives and children.
Anything else you would like to say?:
Um... Not much. I just hope to be accepted. Thanks for reading!
