In-Character Details
Character Name: Thoroing Hammerhand
Character Race: Dwarf
Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary: To hear the tale of Thoroing Hammerhand is to hear a story of great tragedy and woe. For Thoroing is a dwarf who has lost his home,his family and worst of all his honor. When he was a wee little beardling his father was killed in battle, slain by a very large orc, his mother died shortly after, taken by a sickness that then ravaged his whole clan and soon only a handful of Hammerhand's remained.By the time Thoroing was a stout dwarf of one hundred and ten, he had become a veteran of many adventures doing what he could to to slay all evil and corruption he could find, yet he never gained any satisfaction. Thoroing had become as cold as the rock he mined. Now you see the woe and tragedy that stalks our poor bearded friend but not yet do you know the worst part.
You see the Hammerhand's were renowned smiths of course but their real skill was in runecraft. Thoroing had studied his whole childhood under the tutelage of an elder greybeard. One day a group of humans asked for his help to make special weapons that would kill a golem. Of course not having spent to much time around humans had left Thoroing somewhat ignorant to deception. Thoroing worked day and night, sweating over his furnace and anvil until twelve great swords had been crafted. The humans took these and proceeded to slaughter every person in the village that the golem had protected. Woe struck him like a poison arrow, Thoroing died a little that day he now only thirsts for revenge and to slay all in the name of good. Thoroing Hammerhand, Runesmith of the folk under the mountain he walks a dark path and he will bring death to all who get in his way. Yet some hope has arisen in these late years for he has met another of his folk. A young lass with wisdom well beyond her years, Ormora Gemfinder she has made somewhat of an impression on our lad...maybe not all the light is gone from Thoroing's world.
What are your characters ambitions?: Due to his past Thoroing strives to remove all evil from the world and wanders place to place hunting it. Some fear is goal will never be realized.

Open-Response-Questions
Each question here must be answered with a minimum of one full paragraph, and detail the scene you are given in the way it would happen in roleplay. These questions should be answered in first person. Be detailed, not short.
Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response? I stand there like a silent guardian eying the dwarf shopkeeper, after a moment of thought I browse through his wares looking for something of value. Noticing that there is nothing of interest I turn to set out. I find the dwarf shopkeeper is blocking my way hoping I would reconsider. I promptly say "If you're expecting me to spend my Minas here maybe you would like to try having something more than trinkets." I shove the shopkeeper from my path saying "Your a poor excuse for a dwarf" as he gets off the ground.
You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do? I wander closer to the two and lean against a near by rock. I watch as the orc's meaty fist connects with the dwarf's stoney nose. Seeing that it is going downhill I step in and strike the orc. The hatred I can feel pumping through my body as I look at the bleeding orc is unbearable.It causes me to continue to beat him until I am pulled of by the dwarf that had taken shelter nearby. I shove him away from me as I yell "If you weren't so weak this wouldn't have happened." Then storm off down Oren Road.
Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?: I stand there and watch his coins roll down the road till they stop. I then cast my eyes to the old man and watch as he struggles to get up. All this time i think "How can this man continue being who he is if he can't pull himself out of the dirt." The man reaches out ask for help, I pull him to his feet and pick up his Minas and give him the coins. I stroll away, nothing has changed that old man will fall again and now will know nothing but that he needs help to get up.
