Complete the following biography on your character:
Full Name: Ehrendil Greenwood
Current Age: 20
Sub-race (if any): Wood Elf
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs
long): Ehrendil was born in Leumalin. His father, Ehrendon was a
Sentinel of Malinor in Leumalin and his mother, Eliandel was an armorsmith and weaponsmith.
Ehrendil was a gifted child. He was able to use a bow and a sword, a
gift uncommon among Elves. His parents, aware of Ehrendil's talent, hired a private tutor for
Ehrendil when he was twelve. He taught him to master the bow and the
sword. Although Ehrendil excelled in the art of combat, he lacked many other
skills. He could never grasp how to read, write, or sing. Ehrendil
continued these lessons for 8 years. Ehrendil was an unusual Elf. Often
he only thought about himself and did not care for others.
Finally,
at age 20, he stopped getting lessons from the tutor. He decided he
would like to be independant. He moved out of his parents house and in
to a house nearby. Upon leaving the house, Ehrendil's parents gave him
half of their fortune, which was a handsome amount. About a week after
he got into his new house, he decided that he wanted to see the world.
He decided to go to Kingston for half a year, then Aldersberg for half a
year. In Kingston, he learned about human culture. Bored, he cut the
trip short and returned home after a quarter of a year. He did not go to
Aldersberg. When he got back to Leumalin, he discovered that his
parents were not there. They had left all of their fortune and
belongings to Ehrendil. No one would tell Ehrendil why his parents were
gone or what had happened to them. Ehrendil did not feel angry or sad,
only curious as to where they had gone. He then vowed to find out.
Ambitions for the Future: Find out what happened to his parents, Master every aspect of combat
Personality: unkind most times, rarely kind, mostly only thinks of himself
Skills: Swordsmanship, Archery
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): http://imgur.com/yjfK3FR Green eyes, Dirty Blond Hair, Brown belt, Dark skin

____
1. As you walk through the deep forests you hear the
sound of whispering and snickering. Upon inspection you realize that a
group of older elves are mocking a small elven child. How do you react?
Answer: Curious, I ask the Elves,'What has he done?'. One replies,'He was caught stealing from us!'. 'What was he stealing', I ask. 'Bread, apples.' Says another. I look at the child and say,' Child, come with me.' He slowly comes toward me. ' Hold on',one says,' we were not finished with him.' I grasp the hilt of my sword and say, ' Yes, we are.' 'You think it wise, boy, to threaten us.', one Elf says as he draws his dagger. Drawing my sword, I respond,' Of course, else I would not have done it.' He stares at me for a few moments before saying,' Your not worth my time.' and walking away angrily. The other Elves follow him. I turn back to the child and say, 'You should return to your parents.' Then I walk away.
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: I approach the man and kneel down to pick up his coins. ' Help me. Please.', says the Elf quietly. 'And why should I help you? Was it my fault that you fell? Was it my fault that you were wandering around by yourself?' I respond. 'No, but I am unable to get up and need help.' says the Elf. ' There are many people that travel this way. I don't see why I should be the one to help you,' I give him his coins then begin to walk off. 'Please.', he pleads. I don't look back.
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: I greet the trader and then say,' I am in need of a new bow.' 'Ah, I have just the thing you are looking for.' He hands me a bow with a green grip. I examine it saying,' Good flexibility, durable. It will do.' 'For you, my friend, 400 Mina.' '400 Mina! I could sell my mother for less!'. He laughs at my joke then I say, ' 250.' He says, '375, and that is a magnificent deal.' I respond saying, '350'. He says ' I will remain firm at 375' I say, ' Well thank you, but no thank you.' Grumbling, he makes the deal. Smiling, I walk away with my new bow.
