River and his family lived poor but happy on a farm specialised in crops and animals in north Oserian, they are considered peasents. His mother not of high heritage, Jelena, no surname, just like River, married to his father Nathan, who was of unknown origin, all they know was that he left his current position for Jelena, River also had a little brother named Julian, they had fights, but wich siblings didn't? He always protected him from bullies, he was also quite shy. River has always been hard worker ,so was his brother, just like most Oserians. He was always quit interested in medicine so has picked up a about that as well. Weirdly enough he always used to go to the south of Oserian looking for South-Oserian Pit-vipers, he knew quite good how to handle them because of his work on the farm.
One day at River's age of 13 he went chopping wood, but when he returned he saw his house in flames and his father taken away by guards, they were calling him a traitor, his father was screaming, apparentally his brother and mother were still in the house. Once the soldiers and his father left he quikly put out the fire with water from the river together with the other townsfolk, but it was too late, ever since he has been roaming around the land meaningless filled with despair and no hope left searching for meaning in his pathetic life. Due to this life of travel he has picked up on some common jobs like construction.
He is a shy man with a high pitched voice and quite the introvert, but still kind.
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...
-Run towards the woman to try and help her as much as i can with my little medical abilities i learned from getting wounds on the farm, after that i will call for help and try to find someone or somewere with better medical training or care.
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 quietly sit there waiting, not trying to start a conversation or meddle with anyones bussines, i'm way too shy for that.
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...
-Eat it anyway try not to complain, i'm scared they otherwise might get mad at me.
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…
-Try to heal the wounded soldier, because if i were to find myself in a warzone, probably not, i would be there as a healer not choosing any sides. if i where to be on any side i'd just walk past as he seemed no threat in his condition.
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 try to buy resources and find a place to stay for the night without trying to talk to people, i will be gone the next day anyway.
