-Born into nobility, Ciela was a... peculiar baby. White hair, red eyes... Her community decided that she must have been cursed. Her parents hid her down in the cellar, taking care of her without even the help of a nanny. She lived a happy life, reading, playing, looking out of the small window in her room. One day, she stumbled upon a series of curious tomes. When she started reading them, she noticed many unfamiliar words. Like any child, she attempted to say them, and when she was finishing the fifth tome, something yet curiouser happened. The chalk drawing that she had made based on one of the pictures in the book started glowing. She said the words again, being surprised by the reaction. Slowly, a stone chalice had come forth from the stone floor. She kept practicing these miracles in the time that she had alone. When she had turned ten, her parents took her up to the family room. Her mother confessed that she had confided in a friend in the medical field about her, and he said Ciela had albinism, a rare yet safe genetic fault. Her parents cried and cried that they had kept her in the cellar for no reason, but Ciela was unconcerned, just wanting to see the outside world. That evening, her parents took her shopping. Later on, she had relatively blended into regular society, practicing alchemy full-time. She still scared people, so at the age of 24, she left her city with a good amount of money and food to find her fortune. Since then, she's travelled all across the globe
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...
-Trip the thief and heal the woman. Then, have the woman take back her own jewels.
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?
-Set up a stall and sell her wares to other travellers who have been denied access to the city. It should be a while before I run out, and I could make some money along the side.
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...
-Smell the strange dish. If it smells edible, try it. Then we can go from there.
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…
-Administer basic aid, bring them back to my post, and convince the living one to join our side. If they defect, we can execute them without so much of a moral issue.
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?
-I have connections everywhere, so I might be able to stay with an acquaintance. Look around the city and see if I know someone. If I don't, I can probably convince someone that I do.
