Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Adamus Archdiamond
Current Age: 34
Sub-race (if any):
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long): Adamus was the youngest of 5 and had a twin brother, Charles. He grew up in a small village in the wilderness, with his mother and father. Travellers would often stumble across the village for a place to stay for the night, telling stories of the great Oren Empire. Adamus loved to listen to the travellers tell stories of the huge majestic cities as he was never old enough to travel with his parents to Salvus. His father was a lumberjack and sometimes struggled to put food on the table but he always pulled through. Adamus was sturdy, strong-willed and had light skin. Even though he was suited to physical labour and was skilled with a sword it was his ambition to become a renowned writer instead of a lumberjack like his father. He loved to read and write.
Not having many luxuries in life, he and his siblings would spend a lot of time together. Adamus and his brothers grew close to each other, but he and Charles grew particularly close and were practically inseparable. One day at the age of 16, when Adamus and Charles were venturing the forests around the village, they strayed too far away. A group of strange men approached Amadus. Charles ran at the sight of the mysterious strangers but Admaus was surrounded. Taking him captive, they brought him to a small orcish market and sold him as a slave to an orc farmer. He worked as a farmer tending to the pigs.
He was treated poorly by the orc, forced to sleep and eat with the pigs and was barely given enough food to not starve. One day after 12 years of being held captive he desperately made an attempt to escape but was caught and brought back to the farm where he was chained up in the basement and punished mercilessly. After a number of years a new slave had been sold to the orcish farmer. Although it had been over a decade Adamus instantly recognised that it was his brother Charles. He had deliberately got himself captured. That night Charles woke Adamus up to help him escape. Charles had left a bag of supplies hidden in a nearby forest. It occurred that neither of them had ever been away from the village and didn’t know where it was. They made their way to the Cloud Temple to gather supplies and rest for their journey to Salvus to start a new life. Although they were low on minas they were determined to succeed in the city of opportunity.
Ambitions for the Future: He often heard stories of the great riches of Salvus and aspired to become a renowned writer.
Personality: Adamus is strong will and persistent in any of his goals, and loves to read and write.
Skills: He is a very talented writer, and is also suited to physical labour making him skilled with a sword or axe.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): Adamus is sturdy, muscular and has light. The URL for the screenshot is skin.http://imgur.com/7pBwxKG
Any other details you wish to share about your character:No, I think I have already summed everything up very well.

____
1. Whilst in the mighty human capital you notice a dark-clothed figure stealthily making his way towards the Emperor’s palace - he is clearly up to no good. There are guards within shouting distance - what do you do?
Answer: Adamus would examine the cloaked figure from a far, checking to see what he is planning to do. He would approach the man, but still keeping his distance and not trying to be seen by the cloaked figure. He would examine him checking for any weapon. Seeing a sword concealed in his cloak, Adamus would quickly make his way to the nearest guards, knowing he couldn’t just ignore the problem,
Adamus: “Guards that man is concealing a weapon and I think he plans to assassinate the emperor”.
Guards: “We’ll send someone to check it out. You’ve done your emperor a great servive.”
2. Whilst wandering in the deep oak forest you come across a large clearing, in which sits a small cobbled cottage. Outside it stands an unstable old man armed with a small iron blade, surrounded by two heavily armed bandits - they appear to be threatening him. You are armed with leather armour and an iron longsword, how do you react?
Answer: Adamus sees the unstable old man and feels compelled to help him. Adamus is skilled with a sword but feels uneasy about fighting the bandits. He grips a book from his bag feeling more comfortable with that in his hands. Adamus runs over to the old man.
Adamus: “Lay down your weapons or you will regret it”.
The bandits laugh at Adamus who is gripping a book.
Bandit 1: “What are you going to do, read to me?”
Both of the bandits stop paying attention to the old man and focus on Adamus. The old man gripping his iron blade sneaks behind The second bandit.
Bandit 2: “Let’s just rob him a get out of here!”
Bandit 1: “We can’t leave any witnesses.”
The old man just barely able to lift the sword off the ground swings it up in the air and stabs the back of the second bandit’s leg severely injuring him but not killing him.
Bandit 1:”You will pay for that old man!”
The bandit stopped paying attention to Adamus and pulled out his sword to attack the old man. Adamus hit the bandit on the back of his head with his book knocking him out unconscious.
Old man: Thank you, young man.
Adamus: No problem, just trying to help.
3. You are standing within the mighty human capital when you notice a small man standing behind a colourful stall. You approach the stall and notice that the man is selling a variety of general goods - he says that he is selling just about anything and that he has no set prices. He is willing to allow you to haggle and choose prices. What do you do? (Explain: your haggling, items of choice and the discussion that happens).
Answer: The Merchant: “‘Ello good sir”
Adamus: Hello, What is it you sell here?
The Merchant: A variety of different goods. Do you see anything you like?
Adamus looks through the goods but there is nothing that particularly catches his eye.
Adamus: I would like some books, need to catch up on my reading
The Merchant: I just got a new shipment of books today.
Adamus: I would like those two, the ones on the history of the Holy Oren Empire.
The Merchant: You’ve got a fine taste in books. That will be 35 minas
Adamus: That’s Robbery! 25 minas, I won’t go any lower.
The merchant: 30 that’s my final offer.
Adamus: That’s a fair price, deal.
The Merchant: Thank you, sir. Please tell your friends.
Adamus hands the merchant 30 minas.
