Full Name: Dínendal Séregon
Current Age: 227
Sub-race (if any): Wood Elf

Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):
When Dínendal Séregon was a child he had a family of a mother, a brother,
and a sister. His father had passed away from disease nearly two whole
years ago and Dínendal had gotten over it far in the past around a year
ago. His brother's name was Círdan, his sister's was Merenwen, his
mother's was Galadriël, and his father's was Elladan. He hated to stay
in one place and always loved to explore the outside wilderness, it gave
him a sense of adventure and improved his ability to use his
surroundings to his advantage. If he had a choice he would rather not
have to hunt but if he needed to he would hunt for chickens and cows, he
would prefer to hunt for cows because they provided leather and meat
which was better than pig because he could use the leather for armor or
quivers. He liked to hunt chickens as well because they provided
feathers as well as chicken which didn't fuel his hunger as much as the
beef from the cow would. He lived in Leumalin, the capital of Malinor in
Anthos where he loved to explore the lands.

The Elves had tried
educating him and the others about Ancient Elven but he never really
paid attention because he would always look out into the forests and
wait for exploration. His mother had already become infertile and was
lucky to do so as not that many elves reach middle age, she was 564.
Dínendal himself at the time was 132 and he with his siblings were all
about an average of 15 years apart with Dínendal being the middle child
and his brother the oldest. On a simple day out on one of his explorations
Dínendal was thinking about why there had to be so much war and violence
in the world and why it could not just be all peaceful, he decided that one
day he would accomplish this. One day Dínendal and his brother were out
hunting and came across a horde of zombies and skeletons, they tried
to run away but Círdan fell behind and his right leg and arm were badly
injured by the horde. Círdan was not able to hunt and more importantly
walk ever again because his foot was nearly torn off by the horde of the
creatures. Dínendal vowed that he would complete his brother's dream of
becoming one of the greatest Elven leaders to ever exist. He knew that
this would help him also accomplish his dream of bringing peace in to the
world.

Ambitions for the Future: Complete his brother's dream of becoming one of the greatest Elven leaders to exist and bring peace to the world.

Personality: Serious, Quick-Witted, Simple.

____

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: On a crisp frozen day with leaves strewn across the forest floor, Dínendal was going on one of his explorations when he found a child's doll on the ground. "Hello?" he yelled out, hoping to get an answer as to who's doll this might be, "Is anyone out there?" he proceeded to call. He searched behind and on the tops of the trees just to see if he could find the child to who this might belong. On the top of a sixth tree he was climbing he thought he heard someone talking and then snickering, "Hello?" he called "Did someone lose a doll?". The snickering and talking stopped as soon as he yelled, he then proceeded to walk in the direction in which he heard the talking. He came into a large circular clearing covered in flowers where he saw a group of 3 older Elves, sitting on a large stone in the middle of the clearing, staring and snickering at a younger Elf. He started to walk toward the middle with the Elves starting to notice him there, "Excuse me, I am sorry to interrupt but, is this your doll?" he said looking at the Elven child, "Um... Yes..." She said quietly. The Elf in front of the two other Elves looking to be the leader grabbed the doll out of Dínendal's hands, "What's this stupid thing?" He said. "As I said, it is her doll.". The older Elf on the left then grabbed it out of the leader's hands, "What do you think you're doing Fëanor?!" The leader Elf said, "I dunno..." Fëanor responded in a loud and silly voice. "Well anyway.." Dínendal said whilst grabbing the doll from the Elf's hands and giving it to the little girl, "Why don't we just give the doll back to the little girl here and send her on her way?", "Ok.. fine.." the leader said, "Ok let's go little girl." said Dínendal as he and the girl started to walk away. "Hold on there!" the leader said, "I didn't say you could go.." he grabbed Dínendal and shoves him face first towards the ground leaving a large gash on his forehead almost knocking him out cold. "We'll see you again.." said the final older Elf, older and stronger than the rest, as they walked away while Dínendal passes out.

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: Dínendal wakes up where he was knocked out earlier by the older Elves, it is turning night, he thinks to himself, "I should head home.. it is getting very late.". He puts his hand up to his forehead and draws blood, he feels dizzy, "I need to get this bandaged.." he thinks. He sees a man with a walking stick walking through the woods, "Maybe he has bandages.." he thinks again, as the man with the walking stick falls down. He walks towards the man, as running would just make him fall over like the old man, and helps him up. "Are you okay?" Dínendal asks the man, "Yes, I am fine... I am just a little to old for walks now I suppose.." he sounds weak, "Let's sit on this log." Dínendal says pointing at the log. The old man notices the gash on Dínendal's forehead, "Are you alright?" the old man asks, "I think I'm going need to get this bandaged.." Dínendal says, pointing at his forehead. "Do you need help picking up your coins?" Dínendal asks, "Well that would be nice but I do not need help." the old man says. The old man proceeds to pick up the coins with Dínendal coming to help, "I have some bandages in my bag here." says the old man, pointing at the bag he left on the log. "Could you give me some of your bandages?" Dínendal asks, "Why would I mention my bandages if I wasn't going to give you any?" the old man asks, he chuckles, "Well that makes enough sense to me, thank you." Dínendal says, "Thank you." the old man says. "Bye." they both say to each other as they walk their separate ways.

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: The next day, Dínendal returned to the clearing in the woods because it was different than the usual things he found in the wilderness. When he returned he found what looked to be a trader with a colored carriage calling him, "Hey, you there! Come here boy!". Dínendal walked towards the trader asking, "You need something?", "Yes! I sell just about anything in my carriage here, choose what you like and we can haggle for the price!" responded the trader. Dínendal looked through the carriage for a while before coming to the conclusion that he would like the compass the trader was selling. "I think I shall purchase the compass here. How much for it?" Dínendal asked, "500 coins!" responded the trader "Can I take it for half the price?" asked Dínendal, "Why not 400?" asked the trader. "250 is all I have." responded Dínendal, "How about 250 and something to trade?" asked the trader, "Sure, 250 and.. my... shovel?" asked Dínendal, "What kind?" asked the trader, "Iron." responded Dínendal, "Deal!" said the trader. Dínendal took the compass, giving the shovel and the coins to the trader continuing on his way through the forest.

Full Name: Dínendal Séregon
Current Age: 343
Sub-race (if any): Wood Elf

Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):

When
Dínendal Séregon was a child he had a family of a mother, a brother,
and a sister. His father had passed away from disease nearly two whole
years ago and Dínendal had gotten over it far in the past around a year
ago. His brother's name was Círdan, his sister's was Merenwen, his
mother's was Galadriël, and his father's was Elladan. He hated to stay
in one place and always loved to explore the outside wilderness, it gave
him a sense of adventure and improved his ability to use his
surroundings to his advantage. If he had a choice he would rather not
have to hunt but if he needed to he would hunt for chickens and cows, he
would prefer to hunt for cows because they provided leather and meat
which was better than pig because he could use the leather for armor or
quivers. He liked to hunt chickens as well because they provided
feathers as well as chicken which didn't fuel his hunger as much as the
beef from the cow would. He lived in Elandriel, the first capital of
Malinor in the city of Asulon where he loved to climb the tall trees as
they added much to his explorations.

The Elves had tried
educating him and the others about Ancient Elven but he never really
paid attention because he would always look out into the forests and
wait for exploration. His mother had already become infertile and was
lucky to do so as not that many elves reach middle age, she was 564.
Dínendal himself at the time was 132 and he with his siblings were all
about an average of 15 years apart with Dínendal being the middle child
and his brother the oldest. One day he was walking through the forest
and he saw an old man fall over, dropping a bag of gold coins which
split open as they hit the ground. He helped the old man up and collect
his coins and sent him on his way, this had helped him build up his
ability to help people and not steal. Another day he came across some
older elves teasing a small elven child, you sent them away and made
sure the child was alright before he sent the child away to. This had
also helped him on his way to becoming a stronger and more helpful
person and had informed him of bandits in the area. Almost a month after
he learned of bandits in the area, his house was robbed by bandits, his
brother tried to stop them but the bandits stabbed him and ran away.
Dínendal ran to his brother,
Dínendal: "Círdan are you alright!"
Círdan: "Brother... I'm not going to make it through the night.."
Dínendal: "Yes you will! Hold on I will get help!"
Círdan: "No..! Brother.. stay here... please."
Dínendal: "You cannot die brother!"
Círdan: "We.. have no choice.."
Dínendal: "Yes we do! I can go get help and-"
Círdan: "Brother! It is already to late.."
Dínendal: "Do not do this to me.. please!"
Círdan: "I am sorry... so sorry brother.."
Dínendal: "It is ok brother.."
They are both crying.
Dínendal: "Goodbye.. brother.."
Círdan: "Goodbye..."
Círdan dies.
A few years after his brother died, Dínendal ran away, saying goodbye to his mother and sister, to get revenge on the bandits who killed his brother.

Ambitions for the Future: Possibly get revenge on the bandits that killed his brother, find his sister at some point, and maybe make a new life somewhere.

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:
Dínendal walks over to the older elves.
Dínendal: "What do you think you're doing here?"
Older Elf: "We're just fooling around with this young one here, right Olwë. (The elven child)"
Olwë: "Yes sir..."
He looks unhappy.
Older Elf: "See, I told you, now go away and mind your own business."
Dínendal goes closer to the child and whispers.
Dínendal: "Are you sure they're 'fooling around' as they say they are?"
Olwë: "Could you get them to go away.. please?"
He looks desperate.
Dínendal: "Sure."
Olwë: "Thank you..."
He seems happier.
Dínendal: "Alright then." He gets up. "Why don't you elves go away and leave Olwë alone."
Older Elf: "Why don't you go away and leave us alone."
Dínendal: "Because Olwë doesn't want you to mock him any longer."
Older Elf: "Oh... is that right Olwë?"
Olwë doesn't speak.
Dínendal: "Leave him out of this."
Older Elf: "Well he's been in this so far hasn't he?"
Dínendal: "Leave now.."
Older Elf: "Alright already..."
They leave.
Olwë tries to offer Dínendal a few coins in return for helping him.
Dínendal: "No, I am fine without them."
Dínendal walks 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:
Dínendal rushes to the old man.
Dínendal: "Are you alright?"
The old man's voice is weak and soft.
Old man: "I am fine.. just... a little tired..."
Dínendal helps the old man up.
Dínendal: "Let me help you collect your coins."
Old man: "No.. I can do it... myself.."
Dínendal helps anyway without the man complaining.
Old man: "Thank you... adventurer.."
Dínendal: "It is no trouble to me, and I am no adventurer.." He chuckles softly. "call me Dínendal."
Old man: "You look like one to me.." He smiles softly. "Let us sit down on this log here."
The old man tries to offer Dínendal a couple coins, Dínendal refuses the reward.
Dínendal: "No, I am fine without them."
Old man: "You are very kind.. for a person wandering through these woods."
Dínendal: "What do you mean?"
Old man: "Well usually there are bandits and such instead of fine young men like yourself."
Dínendal: "I have never seen bandits here before.. are you sure?"
Old man: "Last I checked.."
Dínendal: "Hmm... I will look into this further later on.. well, anyway, I should be off."
Old man: "Happy travels."
Dínendal: "Indeed."

carriage sells just about everything, and that he's

(Please include:- item, haggling for prices and the discussion

Answer:
Trader: "Hey! You there boy! Come here, I sell just about anything!"
Dínendal doesn't really need anything but still walks over to look at what the trader sells.
Dínendal: "What do you have cheap?"
Trader: "Well right now just about everything is at a lower price for now!"
Dínendal: "Why would that be?"
Trader: "Because of the recent cival war between the Teutonic Order and the Blackmonts of course!"
Dínendal: "I am not one to care about such things.."
He searches the trader's cart.
Dínendal: "How much for these arrows?"
Trader: "About 200 coins!"
Dínendal: "I'll take it for 150."
Trader: "But these are already on sale for 100 coins off!"
Dínendal: "I'm sorry but 150 is all I have. Take my business or leave it."
Trader: "Fine, how about 150 and something to trade?"
Dínendal: "How about this fishing rod?"
Trader: "Deal!"
Dínendal takes the arrows, gives the trader 150 coins and a fishing rod, and leaves.

Ambitions for the Future: Find out who started the village fire and killed his parWhen Dínendal was young his life had been simple, hunting with the
others, plenty of food, it wasn't that hard. One of the only bad things
was that his father was sick and getting worse. The everyday life for
him was exploring the forest, sometimes hunting, and hanging around his
home.He lived in a village close to the border of Normandor, so he got
along nicely with the Dwarves and Humans. As he got older he decided that he
wanted to go out and explore the world and see what he could do as an
Elf.

Almost one whole year after the previous
events, his small village, burned to the ground. He ran as far as he
could away from the fires and was unable to understand what had caused
the fire while he knew it was definitely not an accident and waited out
in the woods for almost the rest of the day. Then he went back to
discover that there was almost nothing left from the day before except
for the remains of the houses and dead bodies. He searched for his
parents but in the end could only find... his father. He tried to rescue
his father out of the wreckage but his father was to tightly packed and
so he decided, now, he would say his goodbyes to his father as it
looked as if he was on the verge of death. Afterwards he walked out of
the village, angry and sad, set in motion to find what had started the
fire, and killed his parents not knowing that his mother was actually
still out there, somewhere.

Ambitions for the Future: Find out who killed his parents.
Personality: Serious, quick witted, angry
Skills: Good with a bow, fast, sneaky

____

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: I go to the older elves and ask them why they would be picking on this child. They say that they have no reason for doing it they are just bored and they weren't hurting the child as he is still unharmed. I ask them to please leave the child alone or leave unless they want to pick a fight. They leave and I shoo the child off to continue on his way.

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 check to see if the man is alright. I tap him on the shoulder and he doesn't wake, I then proceed to shake him which wakes him slightly. He looks as if he may be near the end of his life and taking the coins wouldn't make much of a difference with it. After I talk with him for a moment just to make sure that he's ok I help him collect his coins back up and carry on my way.

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 ask him for the nicely crafted arrows that look as if they might last for the rest of the month possibly. He then proceeds to say that they will cost around 200 coins and seeing that I barely have gotten any since I was born I tell him that I would be willing to trade a fishing rod and a good bucket for them. He tells me then that if I throw in some boots then it would be a deal. I accept, take the arrows, and continue on my way.
