Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Elrohir Thrain
Current Age: 123
Sub-race (if any): Dark Elves
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
One hundred and twenty three years ago, Elrohir Thrane was born in Normandor under Oropher and
Feanare Thrain. They were a merchant family selling various equipment they sold
secondhand. They set sail in a different ship the rest of Malinor took upon the
voyage to Anthos. In the lands of Elysium and Kalos, his family stayed
secluded, raising everything they needed to survive. They left late in comparison to the rest of
the nations when they left for Anthos. Upon reaching the seas near the Anthos
shore, his ship came under attack by a group of human pirates. While his father
was skilled in the art of war, the battle turned against them quickly. Elrohir
and his mother boarded a life boat and made for the shore. However, a thrown
axe strikes his mother in the back. Despite the immediate trauma, he continues
to shore. His mother naturally does not survive. He never caught sight of his
father again. Consumed with grief, he passed out on the beach.
The following
weeks, he wandered aimlessly. Right on the brink of death, he is picked up by a
group of rogue dwarves. The dwarves took him in, giving him sustenance and
rehabilitating him. He becomes a member of their group. The dwarves have a
fondness for heavy combat, and it spread quickly to Elrohir. He first learned
the basic, and soon came to love the art. He stayed with them for eleven years,
continuing to train, getting better and better. Eventually, the world caught up
to them. They were found on the road by an Orenite patrol. The patrol engaged
them immediately, crushing the disorganized group of rogues. The few that
managed to get away and survived scattered, not to see each other another time.
Elrohir resumed wandering. The second loss of those closest to him caused him
to withdraw, remaining quiet and out of the way. He worked odd jobs to sustain
himself, despite how much he hated it. Through this, he acquired a will to be
self sufficient, loathing when he had to depend on another for anything. He was
found once again in his travels by a patrol of Malinor Sentinels, led by
Commander Serva Rose himself. Serva recruited Elrohir into the Sentinels,
favoring the fact that he was an expert in heavy combat.
((Spartan920, the player of Serva approves of this and can verify it if need be. Serva wil do the RP as soon as I have been acepted into the server))
Ambitions for the Future: Become a Sentenial Gaurd
Personality: Through his life, Elrohir developed many traits that would
lead to a rather inwards personality. Often, he will be rather quiet. Keeping
thoughts to himself, he usually obeys orders without much protest. This is with
the exception of an outrageous or unrealistic order. Growing up with rogues
where everything was shared and told, he learned to dislike those who are arrogant
or self centered. Seeing s he lived with dwarves for eleven years, he is quite
accepting of them and less ready to attack them than another sentient being.
Humans on the other hand, he holds a grudge against, as they destroyed his
family twice, both figuratively and literally. He won’t go extremes to express
it, as he understands they are different people than those who wronged him, but
the hate is there nevertheless. What gives him an edge in controlling his dislike
for the human race is his extreme patience born from being withdrawn. It will
take a lot to set him off
Skills:
As far as combat skill goes, Elrohir is almost exclusive to
heavy combat. This includes heavy plate armour as well as polearms such as the
halberd or greatlance. He can, however, hold his own when armed with a basic
battleaxe. The use of a bow and sword is completely out of his grasp. Seeing as
he is accustomed to such combat, he is naturally rather strong and relies on
quick reflexes to make up for a lack of speed. As for the emotional side of
fighting, he is reluctant to kill if he doesn’t absolutely have to.
Outside of that, he can farm to a small degree from his time
on Elysium and Kalos. He can also make clothing as well as fletch arrows despit
his lack of ability in using them. He is also a very weak swimmer, and almost
to the point of being scared of water. He has a few other skill he acquired while
working odd jobs such as basic woodwork, though none of those are very
developed. The art of war is his only major trade.
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):
Elrohirs everyday was of dress is usually plain leather garments with light chain mail underneath, and a small battle axe at his side (this is not when he is in full heavy armor or battle ready) He is 6'6'' larger than the average elf and much wider, but his bluk comes from large bones and rigid muscule rather than fat

____
1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a group of High Elves are mocking a small Wood Elf child. How do you react?
Answer: Elrohir watches for a moment. Elrohir thinks about intruding and looks down at his light armor and battle axe, wondering if his intrusion could come to a fight. Elrohir makes a descion and walks up behind Mali'aheral. He speaks before they see him "leave the Malimalii alone". The Mali'aheral turn to him as he speaks. One speaks with a tone of arrogance. "Who are you to command the noble Mali'aheral, vermin. You obey a command system the Sentinels, so I suggest you respect your superior here." The insult is followed by several more from the company of the high elf.
Elrohir keeps his calm under the barrage if words. "I am one to command you to leave them alone because they indeed, have left." The elves turn, seeing only air where the child was. The child seems to have run off.
2. Whilst wandering through the Elven forests you come across a frail old man with a walking stick. He collapses in front of you, falling to the ground with a sharp thud. Out of his pocket falls a small pouch of gold coins, which hits the ground and splits open spreading coins across the pathway. The man lies there, defenseless - what do you do?
Answer: Elrohir bends down an takes the man up, returning the walking stick to his hand. the man begins to bend down to pick up his coins, but Elrohir stops him and picks up the coins for him, placing the coins in has hand and setting him off on his way, watching him until he rounds the next bend to make sure hes ok.
3. Whilst traversing the Elven Woodlands, you come across a small clearing in which a colored carriage sits. A trader stands outside of it and calls you over, telling you of his wares. He points out that his carriage sells just about everything, and that he's willing for you to haggle for a price. What does your character do? (Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion involved).
Answer: Elrohir looks upon the mercants wares and sees a double handed battle axe held on pegs on the wall of the carriage. Elrohir points it out "that axe, where did you get it?". The man looks at it fondly, "I was travel through the mountains and stumbled upon a dwarf who lay nearly dead on the roadside, i picked him up and called for help, when no one responded to my pleas, i returned to my carrage and went wandering around the mountains until i found a dwarf patrol. i showed them the dwarf i had found and took him into the dwarven capital. the dwarf was taken away by several medics and i was rewarded for his return with that battle axe" He looks very proud of himself and then adds "it isnt for sale either" Elrohir has been looking for a new axe and likes the one he sees in the carraige. he pulls out a pouch of coin minas and drops several into his open plam. "how much would you take for it?" the man looks back and says "it told you it isnt for sale, i have nice set of dwarven daggers that would suit a man like you well, only 150 minas, gathered straight from the dwarven capitol!" Elrohir drops a few more coins into his palm, ignoring the daggers the man was holding out to him. "how about 200 minas for the axe?" the man looks annoyed and holds out the daggers again "i told you, it isnt for sale!" Elrohir drops a few more coins into his hand, "hows 350 minas sound?" the man looks at Elrohir, considering his offer, "500'' Elrohir drops a few more coins, "400" the man puts down the daggers and says "475 and its yours" Elrohir drops the rest of the coins into his hand and counts out 475 minas, dropping them into the mans hand, one by one, "you have yourself a deal" the merchant picks up the axe off the pegs and hands it to Elrohir, "pleasure doing bissines with you" Elrohir holds it out in his hands, admiring it, he looks at the man and does a small bow, "you to, have a nice day" Elrhoir turns and walks away with his new axe at his side
