Do you have any prior experience with Requiem? If so, please detail when (and what characters, if desired) you previously played: yee boi

Briefly summarize your prior role-playing experience in a sentence or two: many roleplayink gammus

Why do you wish to play on Requiem, and what do you expect from the shard?
much roleplayink

What will your character’s name be?
Smirking Simon

Please briefly describe the physical attributes of your character, including age, looks, height, weight and any notable features:
Simon is an ancient man among Republicans. His head is already naturally bald, and his long beard has turned almost completely grey. Perhaps he was once a bigger man, however now he has shriveled down a little and is below average stature. He walks with a hunched posture. Regardless of his seemingly apparent weakness there is a surprising amount of energy still hidden within Simon, and his bright blue eyes might give that away with their glimmer. He has odd scars on his face, most likely remnants from some disease. You could estimate him to be on his mid-seventies.

Briefly state your character’s intentions or motivations for entering the First Province:
Simon is after wealth. He believes that unfathomable riches await in the First Province. Someone just has to find them first, and then he can help the finders share their findings.

History:
Smirking Simon was born some seventy years ago somewhere in the Eastern Baronies, and was one of the most notorious burglars of his time. He gained some questionable reputation by scavenging into Torment-infested areas and ravaging loot from the abandoned houses, leading some to believe that he even got infected during the early days of Torment's appearance. Some believe him to have been miraculously cured, and that the scars on his face would prove it, whereas some believe that the scars are merely a mark of syphilis. Regardless of speculations it is evident that life hangs tight in this old rat. A total of thirty years of his life has been spent within the confines of prisons, four of which he has managed to escape either through bribery or cunning deception. Nobody seems to know where Simon has spent the last twenty years of his life.

Briefly write an in-character response to the following scenario:
Simon has found out about the Quarantine Visa procedure beforehand, and considers obtaining one a little too troublesome. Instead he joins a Foundry caravan carrying a grain cargo towards the First Province, and as the Rumbling Pass is only a day's travel away he takes action. Simon stays awake long until the darkest hours, and then breaks into one of the cargo wagons. He smuggles approximately his own weight worth of grain out of one of the boxes and discards it into the woods, and then hides within the said box's contents, using a specially prepared wooden pipe to help him breathe. There he slumbers like a grain-covered very old vampire, awaiting to wake up in a new place.

Two young men unloading the boxes of grain prepare themselves for the load they are about to take up together. As they synchronize and lift together, one man stumbles backwards and nearly falls from the shock of the boxes lack of weight, dropping his end of it. The top clatters off, no longer secure and the nearly empty box is exposed, a small hole where a pipe once was.

"The hell is that?" The taller man said, putting his end of it down and scratching his head. "Don't these idiots know how to nail the tops on? And look at this Eddard..." he exclaims, motioning to the hole. "Whadda suppose did that?"

"Probably rats..." Eddard said, marking something on parchment with a charcoal. "There...accounted for..."



Approved!
