Definitions:
What is roleplaying?: The acting of roles other than your own identity, playing as a character with alternative emotions, compulsions and history to the one which you actually have in real life.
What is metagaming?: When the character uses or displays knowledge of information that they shouldn't be aware of in the context of their characters's roleplaying experiences. Ie, using knowledge you have obtained ooc'ly and utilising that knowledge in a roleplaying environment.
What is powergaming?: Roleplaying as if you are the controlling force in the world rather than as a character who actually has relatively little bearing on the world around him. To powergame is to not acknowledge the capability/influence/power of other characters or world events (both active and/or logical or possible) and to far overweigh the importance/weight of one's own actions.

Character’s race: Forest Dwarf
Character’s age: 59
Biography: When he was young, his mother left his father shortly after he was born, and she was, to his knowledge, subsequently left behind in the mass exodus from Thales. Throbar was raised entirely by his already overburdened father. Throbar’s father, Thomms, was a clerk working under a prominent thane in the Thanes’ Council. They lived and enjoyable and comfortable life, but his father was both too soft on him after their mother left them and too busy dealing with his job to properly nurture or educate his son, particularly after the re-emergence of the Undead, centuries removed from common memory, and Iblees's return. This lack of attention from his father left Throbar somewhat weak and uneducated throughout his extended childhood, though he had great admiration for his fathers work for the kingdom through tough times. However, upon the restoration of the Lords’ Council, political reshuffling resulted in the discharging of his father. As a result of his absorption in his work, Thomms had neglected to allow himself a financial or social safety net and as such Thomms quickly spent his savings and Thorbar and his father were pushed into homelessness and poverty. For a brief time Thomms Crow-Barr resorted to sell-sword work in order to maintain financial security, fighting against the High-Elves and Oren in Urguan's conflicts. Thomms finally had time for his son and taught him what little he knew about fighting and the sell-sword trade, finally giving Throbar a focused education, though it wasn't in the area of bureaucracy as Thorbar had expected and hoped. Nevertheless, he enjoyed spending time with his father and paid close attention to his tutelage. The two often worked together or alone in the fiercest of conditions across Athera - from the frozen Northern Mountains, to expeditions through Eruthos Canyon and Deus Proditor, as well as body-guarding and raids into the Orc-lands of Kal'Agnar. Inevitably however, the stress of the changes in their circumstances, the loss of his prestige and the toll and danger of his traveling-fighting occupation resulted in Throbar’s father dying of a heart attack, very shortly followed by consumption courtesy of the monster he was fighting at just that moment. After just a few short years of his company, his father had once again been torn away from him, this time for good.
Following his father's death it has been Throbar’s ambition to restore the Crow-Barr family name to its past glory and to develop himself into the finest bureaucrat of the age, in remembrance of the mysterious and mighty father he perceived and truly admired when he was young. This ambition has developed his personality into a far stronger person with good conviction. However, his grudges against the Lord's Council for taking his father's job away have encouraged him to seek alternative employment, particularly within both city-states and the Orenian Empire. Throbar's ill-temper has worked against his ambitions and caused him to ruin several potentially lucrative opportunities - completely failing to make anything of small positions in Oren, though he has slightly developed his financial and bureaucratic skills so far. Furthermore, the fragile nature of many city-states and towns in the South-East, Adrallan region of Athera caused his employment to end without it properly beginning, and he even struggled to hold down a job in the more stable city-state of Al'ras. Thus, so far he has remained essentially jobless, though he still carries out some sell-sword work. However, Throbar's heart still aches to fulfill his dreams and his arrival in the Isles of Vaillor seems like a perfect opportunity to strive to once again become a great bureaucrat.
Personality Traits: Nit-picking, intelligent, quick-tempered. Machiavellian and cunning.
Ambitions: To become a great bureaucrat and wielder of power and influence, perhaps even to take revenge on the Lord's Council who he often cites as the indirect murderers of his father.
Strengths/Talents: Physically strong, literate, entrepreneurial and good with business.
Weaknesses/Inabilities: Lacking official bureaucratic training, passive-aggressive, Ill-tempered.
Appearance: Roughly 4ft 3, but with a weight of roughly 10 stone due to his muscular build. Brown-haired, wearing a chainmail shirt (tucked in) with a business cravat around his neck. Would be described as looking very well-put-together, but with an edge of ruggedness that tends to happen when you wear suit trousers into battle.
