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!)
Vulk is quite a jolly man even though his voice might confuse you as he might sound really young for his age. He ensures you that he’s quite old but you might not believe him. Vulk is somewhat a bit knowledgeable in the medical side, learning a few things in his lifetime. He wishes to heal people as being a doctor and it seems to be a difficult task for him but he is determined to help. As you meet him he’s a bit shy and quiet but once you talk to him he’s quite talkative. He lived on a farm with his family in his youth part of the Oserain territory . After a few years his Father was arrested and the last of his family died from a terrible disease. He sat there helpless watching them suffering from the terrible disease as one by one they died in front of him. Just like that he became homeless.. Nowhere to call home, for months he would steal things just to survive until a man took him in. The man was a doctor or healer in sort so Vulk became an apprentice learning as many things from the man. The man became somewhat of a father figure to him over the years. Vulk Ainsworth today has sent off into the world to assist people to the best of his ability as he hopes his knowledge of medicine can help them. He's not much of a fighter as he was taught in way of medicine.

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…
-Vulk would scream for the guards and point at the thief saying ‘Thief! Thief!’, while he stumbles over to attend to the lady for injuries and attempts to save her as a life is more important than jewelry. He would comfort her by ensuring she would live and he would put pressure on her wound as the blood would soak his clothing. “Everything is ‘hic’ okay, stay calm!” Vulk would wait for guards to assist or while they take care of the thief.. He would wait by her side until help arrives and continue to comfort her saying “Everything will be okay.. I am here ‘Hic’...” Vulk would attempt to move here to a better place to treat her; he would be stumbling around and screaming for help “Please anyone! This woman needs ‘’Hic’--elp!” Until he can be a better person to help her than him because he’s drunk.
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?
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...
- Vulk would attempt to eat the food knowing it might be unpleasant coughing violently. He would continue to spit out the food and look at the old woman saying “Oh my, this uhh tastes great..?’ Then smiles awkwardly at her while stumbling off. He would attempt to find something that can fill him up, stumbling around and a bit sick from the food. After finding a place and greeting the person “Thank you kind sir” While gripping his stomach. He would wait until sunrise to depart and continue his journey.
Question 4
In the midst of battle, you find yourself approaching a wounded enemy soldier. The soldier is on the floor, clearly in terror as they cradle one of the dead. Enemy forces begin to advance in the distance and you know you have to act fast. The soldier then grasps at a cloth and removes it from the dead soldiers pocket. They continue to cry, and starts calling the dead soldier's name in despair. Then the soldier glances up to see you - with your weapon up - but does not care of your approach, continuing to cradle the dead soldier. You…
Question 5
You have wandered across a seemingly endless tundra for what have felt like days. A raging snowstorm makes you unable to see more than a few metres ahead. Being almost out of resources, you are delighted to find out that you have stumbled your way to a village. Upon closer inspection you find out it's a Northern village, and the residents are not very friendly towards strangers. What do you do in this dire situation?
Vulk would beg, promising them that I will work for them in exchange for comfort/home for a bit because I don’t want to die in the tundra. ”Please I beg of you! I’ll work in exchange for somewhere to stay! I am somewhat of a doctor so I can assist in some injuries.” He shivers as he looks up to the person, This might take a bit of convincing so he might hand over all of his things so he can seal the deal. He would work for them until his deed is done and when the tundra passes by. I’ll thank them and head back onto my journey.

filled with shopping stalls and refugees sleeping on the floor. How do you spend your time in the camp?
- Vulk Ainswoth would set up my wares and attempt to sell them while he waited or to do an inventory check until he was accepted in the city to fully sell my wares. Maybe chat with the other people “Oh so you have these items..?” and exchange some things. If he can’t do any of these then he could wait, keeping an eye on his wares because he would assume people will attempt to steal his wares. Sleep might take him as he would be very tired if not accepted into the city soon.
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.

They continue to cry, and starts calling the dead soldier's name in despair. Then the soldier glances up to see you - with your weapon up - but does not care of your approach, continuing to cradle the dead soldier. You…
- I would continue effort to tell the soldier "Sir please run! The soldiers are coming! Your friend would not like you to die in vain!” He would attempt to pull the soldier to follow him but knowing he will not. If he does not come with him he drops his word screaming as the enemy soldier yells. A distant scream then it cuts off while Vulk continues to escape from the enemy soldier as fast as his leg can run, tripping over a lot of things because he’s scared. Once out of reach of them he would find somewhere to hide and wait until they stopped searching for Vulk. He would think of that poor soldier as he couldn’t save him mumbling to himself that he could have saved him if he had more time...
Question 5
You have wandered across a seemingly endless tundra for what have felt like days. A raging snowstorm makes you unable to see more than a few metres ahead. Being almost out of resources, you are delighted to find out that you have stumbled your way to a village. Upon closer inspection you find out it's a Northern village, and the residents are not very friendly towards strangers. What do you do in this dire situation?
