Age:

Culture:
Korsian
Can your character read and write?:
Barely
Story & Biography (please go into detail, we recommend two paragraphs but expect at least one. Please outline character history, personality traits and the things that make your character unique. Have fun with this section!)
(Please note although the character you apply with can commit illegal or immoral acts you cannot do these things on the server without an Intrigue application. This can be applied for once you are whitelisted.) Found here:
https://taleofbanners.com/forum/forums/intrigue-application.119/ (Intrigue Application)
(You are also able to apply with a noble but keep in mind you cannot play a noble character on the server unless you join an accepted noble house or apply for one.) Found here:
https://taleofbanners.com/forum/forums/noble-houses.142/ (Noble Houses)
Imbry belonged to a band of nomads that traveled the outskirts of the Kharman Expanse. Traders, entertainers, dancers, he grew up with a wild assortments of people, and slowly, those people became his family. A bright lad with light tanned skin. Hazel eyes with light freckles blemishing his skin. Dark black hair that is always unkempt, his apparel was simple cloth and linen of Korsian's design, covering his body against the deathly sun. Growing up, he wasn't that into studying, enough to converse with others was too much, and what he learned was only snippets of what others were ready to offer. His skill set ranges from laboring and bargaining, it was mundane, but enough for a day's bread. Energetic and impulsive, he was ready to face any obstacles. Those around him influenced him greatly, and among his characters were his hospitality. Ready to help and serve, he faces the task at hand with enthusiasm. Growing up traveling, he had come across many travelers, and with each traveler was a different person with different personalities. Soon, he was able to converse with many types of people around the realm.
One day, on his first trip to Oseria, the caravan made a short stop at Dunsgate for a nice day of rest and reveling. Imbry was not the type to avoid loud noises. Well, he grew up in a rather loud environment, so this did not deter him. After a long night of drinking, he blacked out so badly, he woke up with the most horrid headache. The bright sun shone on him as he tried to figure out where he was. It did not matter though, it was midday- and the caravan was supposed to leave at sunrise. His headache only made the feeling worse as he realized the current situation. Abandoned in a foreign city with no clue on how to survive, he spent the last of his coins on a simple peasant apparel to blend in with the locals. Heading out with his head high on this new adventure he stumbled into.
Section 4/4 - Open-ended questions
Please answer at least three of the questions to show how your character would interact with the world. Delete the spares (if applicable). Please include at least one paragraph for each question you answer.
Question 1
You stumble outside into the open air after some heavy drinking in an Oserian tavern. Just before you're about to pass an alleyway, a hooded man rushes out of it and runs for it - seemingly, he has both a blade and some jewellery on him. You take a quick peek in the alleyway to see a feminine figure collapsed on the ground, holding her hands over a bleeding wound in her torso. The thief is about to escape and the woman seems in critical condition. You...
I let the hooded man escape, yelling for help as you run to attend to the woman's wound. Having no prior knowledge on the most basics of medicine, I can't do much but yell for help as tried to stop the bleeding by applying pressure onto the stab wound with my hands.
Question 2
You are on your way to the Korsian city of Telth to sell some wares. Upon reaching the front gates you are stopped by the guard. They deny you entry for the time being as the traffic into the city is too high. You are effectively forced to wait in the refugee camp located between the two gates for the time being. The camp is
filled with shopping stalls and refugees sleeping on the floor. How do you spend your time in the camp?
I decide to display my wares, calling in those interested to buy something. Might as well use the time I have to earn some coins.
Question 3
You've gotten lost and wandered awhile into Drahl lands, eventually finding yourself in Crookmire Swamp, where you decide to settle for the night. Finding a meal to buy for the evening takes some effort, but you do come across an old crone in ragged clothing, who offers to sell you some sea-looking food. She doesn't ask much, but warns you that eating it is 'unpleasant' to outsiders. You...
I accept the challenge. If I don't eat this sea-looking food, I might as well starve, and tomorrow will be a long day for an energy-drained wanderer. I paid for the food and eat it, ready for any side effects.
The End! Once you have completed this application and post it here:
