Character name : Vanir Lexicon
What race are you? : Human.
What sub-race are you? : Northerner
Biography : Vanir was born on the 10th of Snow's Maiden, 31st year, a time of snow and cold. As he grew, his parents struggled to make a living, as their mayor had enforced huge taxes on his village. When Vanir was 17 years old, a group of bandits raided his village, and burned it to the ground. He only survived by driving the bandits off, but not before they could kill both his parents. After the village had been rebuilt, the mayor saw a major opportunity in the poor boy, as Vanir had a natural talent for smithing. For 2 years, Vanir deliberately crafted weak weapons for the mayor, but made strong weapons for everyone else. As he reached his 20th birthday, the mayor kicked him out of the village, saying " You can go smelt your weapons somewhere else, just make sure you make them better then the useless you made me! " Vanir smiled at this and told the mayor to get out of the village before the villagers decided to exclude him from the village permanently. For about 5 months, he trekked towards the Cloud Temple Sanctuary, and heard of the mayor's demise in a mining accident. A smile on his face, Vanir entered the Santuary, and asked for a bed in a guest room.
Vanir, as mentioned above , is a blacksmith from birth. He is a quiet person, impulsive and he also has a comedically massive appetite, as on his 13th birthday, he ate so much cake he passed out for an entire week. He then ate half the traditional village feast for celebrating the end of the cold season. (The feast, not Vanir eating half of it.) He can craft most tools, as long as he has the required materials. He is able to swing a sword, but he isn't much use in battle, as he has a yellow streak. He has chestnut hair, and is usually dressed in a blue tunic with red trousers held up by a belt with an emerald buckle.
What are your character's ambitions? : Vanir's ambitions are to become a master blacksmith and to enter a cake eating contest and win.
What is your character's favourite tool? : His favourite tool is the axe as you can chop down trees and split heads with an axe.
What is one of your character's most skilled talents? : He is very good at mining, as he has a strong build.
A screenshot of your skin : Sorry I don't have a screenshot, my laptop doesn't have a .minecraft/screenshots folder.
Other information about your character : He likes cake. Your argument is invalid. He also wears an obsidian and ruby amulet to give him luck. And he has iron-grey sclera.
Open Response Questions
Whilst travelling 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? : Vanir strolled towards the trio, swinging his axe. " OI! What do you two think your doing? " The two warriors turned towards the disturbance and were shocked to see a heavily built youth strolling towards them, swinging an iron axe menacingly. " Umm.... errr......" the taller one stuttered. " We were j-j-just leaving, weren't we, Bill " the smaller one said as they both slowly backed away. They both turned and ran as Vanir walked towards the halfling, and giving him an iron helmet, Vanir said " Here, this'll 'elp you on your travels. " "T-thank you sir! " the halfling replied. Vanir replied " No problem. " as he walked away.
Your character wanders into Alras, and comes across a small stall, behind which a well-dressed man is standing. He's offering various wares, he turns to you and says in a posh accent " 'ello there, what can I do for you today? " What is your character response? : Vanir swatted at the wasp that had been annoying him ever since he had entered Alras. " Yes, do you 'ave any ores or fuel for a blacksmith? " "Yes, I do have a few pieces of coal, and a bit of gold ore for 30 minas." Vanir looked through his wallet and saw that he had 63 minas. " I'll take the lot, if that's alright with you. " " Yes, that will be perfect" said the merchant as Vanir gave him 30 minas for the wares. As Vanir walked away, he hummed an old song that his mother sang to him when he was a baby. A tear welled in his eye as he thought of the night that the bandits attacked his village.
Whilst wandering in the wilds, your character comes across a small hut, which looks abandoned. Inside it you can see a chest containing a few iron bars and a golden sword. How would your character respond? : Vanir sighed with relief as he saw the hut, as it meant a place to sleep, and a place to smelt and cook. " Hello? " he yelled. After the echo died down, and he was satisfied that no-one lived near the hut he went inside. Ignoring the chest, he built a furnace, cooked some beef, smelted some gold and made a gold crown, worthy of the greatest king. He slept, and the next morning, Vanir woke up to an angry elf shouting at him. Vanir ran out of the house, cheeks burning as the elf threw random ting at him.
Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumbles upon a trading camp in the wilderness. They greet you in the common tongue, how do you respond? : Vanir stumbled into the trading camp, and croaked "Water.....please......water." "Well, we have plenty of water, young lad! Would you like a piece of steak as well? " the camp leader asked him. "That would be..... brilliant. Thank you for your hospitality, kind sirs. " said Vanir as he received a mug of water and a piece of steak. " Do you know where the nearest town or city is? " "Yes, the nearest town is Arethor, you could reach it before nightfall." "Thank you,kind sirs. Allow me to present you with this armour." As Vanir handed out the armour, a little voice in his head said "Kill them all, do it now!" He ignored it and after he had handed out the armour, he set off for Arethor.
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? : Vanir was fed up of the constant knocking on his door. As he opened it, the guard who had been knocking on his door questioned Vanir "Why didn't you open the door when I started knocking?" "I was smelting ore and crafting tools! I'm a smith! Its my trade to ignore what's going on around me and focus on what I'm doing!" The guard stepped back, clearly stunned by the rant. "But sir-" "No. I won't help you. I'm leaving this town a side road anyway, so what good is it for me to attack bandits and possibly get hurt?" The guard tried to say something, but nothing came out of his mouth. Furious, the guard stormed away, his face burning. As Vanir packed his bags, he heard that the threat was fictional, and that any reward was to be taken back. Glad that he didn't have to give back 50 minas, Vanir walked out of town with a light heart.
Anything else you would like to say? : This was a triumph. I'm making a note here; HUGE SUCCESS! It's hard to understate my satisfaction! Aperture Science, we do what we must because we can. For the good of all of us except the ones who are dead....
