In-Character:
Character Name: Xeren
What Race are you? (You may only be Human, Orc, Elf or Dwarf!) : Dwarf
What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race):
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.): Xeren was more often than not, alone. He didn't have many friends, in fact it was hard to say he had any at all. The only person Xeren could, and would talk to was his father.
Unfortunately for Xeren, when he was only the age of 14, his father was out cast of the great halls of mount Ere, for a very obscure reason, from that day forth Xeren swore he would stop at nothing to redeem his father, however this would require him to uncover what his father had done to become exiled.
Years went by, as Xeren searched for the answers as to why his father was outcast. Then one day, he found out, the dark secret his father had been hiding from him. His father was outcast for attempting to assassinate Paragon Kjell and his family, whilst they where sleeping. Outraged Xeren gave in, and slowly darkness tore a hole in his heart, for five years, he lived in a abandoned Dwarven mine and for five years, the darkness with in him grew.
But on the 5th anniversary, something called to him. It was no being, in fact there was nothing in the cave with him, only his soul and shadow, as he began to get up out of his make-shift bed, he looked at his shadow, which seemed to be detached from him. As he focused on the shadow he realised, it was the thing talking to him. At this point, Xeren knew his sanity was destroyed by the long years spent in this cave. But this... "passenger", did have a good idea. The idea, if pulled off successfully would redeem his family and would lift him out of the agony that the truth had caused him.
The voice told him to cover his face and body, so only his voice could be heard. This would allow Xeren into the holds of the Dwarven kingdom without to much trouble, but first he would have to establish a name for himself.
He began to hunt out out laws, and convicts alike and hand them into the various holds, making a nice bit on the side of course. Slowly he crafted a name for himself, which struck fear into most, "Umbra" or "Shadow". Eventually when his name had resonated across the land he made his way into the capitol of the Dwarven kingdom, and sought Kjell to whom he offered his service that only death could bring an end to. Kjell accepted the offer, and from that day forth, Xeren was known as Kjell's Shadow.
What are your Character's ambitions?: To serve Kjell till his very end
What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc): Sword, although most dwarves are quick to reach for the axe, Xeren's skill with the blade, would cut them down before they even touched a atom of the handle of their trusty war axe.
What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Stealth, like his new-found name suggests.

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?
I would duck down, and hide in the darkness. Silently he would approach the unsuspecting warriors, and get a closer look. As he approaches he notices that they are human, and one of them is wearing a chest-plate which seems to have been out in the rain for quite some time, as rust patches could be seen clearly all over the piece. He also noted that they where not bearing any crest or any emblem and so he came to the conclusion that they where, more than likely just the simple rouges with very little skill with the blade. However, their lack of skill did not mean that they couldn't pull off a cheap panic shot on me as most could use a sword, but few could actually wield it to defend them selves from the Umbra, Kjell's Shadow. I began to make growling noises, I then cupped his hands over his mouth, not removing my dark veil. And growled again, sounding like a pack of wolves this time. One of the thugs looked at the other, they communed for a while then one went into the brush, where I was waiting, as he came close to me, I rolled swiftly behind him, and saw that this was the thug with the weakened armour, I found a rust spot that aligned with the thugs lung, and lounged my blade into it, the thug attempted to scream, but no sound came out as I was cupping my hand over the thug's mouth, and the fact his left lung had just been pierced. Now that the odds where even, I approached the thug who was now kicking the halfling curled up in a ball. I was now on the edge of the light, one more step and the other thug would be able to see me easily, and he was still a good ten steps away from me. I looked around, nothing to climb or jump onto. But I still had a empty bottle, and there was dirt all around me, I scooped some dirt into the bottle and through it at the thug. It shattered spewing particles of dirt every where, thus obscuring me from the thug. I came out of the shadows to claim my kill.
The last image the thug saw was of the Umbra approaching him, whilst drawing his blade.
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'm weary of the man, as not many dare approach me because of my infamy but I remain curious, I turn to look up at the man's eyes, his eyes do seem pure but my "passenger" tells me to remain weary. I ask him, "Whom are you and what services do you offer?" and await his response before deciding my next course of action.
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 check for traps in and around the hut before taking the items within the chest.
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 would ask if there was anything I could do for them in exchange for food, of course the job would have to be relevant to my certain skill set.
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?: If the town is under the control of Kjell I would offer my services for no charge, as of course I am bound to Kjell's service until he or I die.
Anything else you would like to say?:
