CHARACTER QUESTIONS
(Please note: Staff is looking for at least three lore references in your application when reviewing.)


What will your character’s name be?

Beric Voss

Please briefly describe the physical attributes of your character, including age, looks, height, weight and any notable features:

Standing roughly six foot four Beric is a beastly looking man, his blond hair and beard are long and somewhat kept with various streaks of white silver and darker blondes throughout. His skin tanned somewhat, his eyes are a darker green that seem to observe surroundings carefully. He looks to be roughly around two hundred and twenty pounds. He does carry scars across his forearms that look as if he once shielded himself from something, and one larger scar that travels down the left side of his face narrowly avoiding the left eye. If you had to guess he looks to be in his mid to early forties.

Briefly state your character’s intentions or motivations for entering the First Province:

To survive and make a profit, as long as Beric can remember he has been fighting and clawing his way through life, now in his older age he claims he is wiser, claims he is more prepared to live and maybe make some decent coin in a new place.

Please provide a few short paragraphs with pertinent details or notable qualities of your character’s history. This does not have to be exhaustive nor revealing of any information you wish to keep secret:

Beric could feel his lungs aflame with pain, the biting cold clung to him and swarmed his insides every breath he took, his cold hands clutching crude looking crossbow that was much too large for a boy of only eight.
His hands trembled as they fumbled with the loading mechanism his last bolt slid into the crossbow and Beric took a deep breath the cold night surrounding him, the only noise echoing against the crashing of waves was that of a screaming woman, Screams and other ungodly noises that ripped through that dark night that still linger in Berics mind today.


The young boy stuck his head up from the small hill he took shelter behind, in the low light of the distant home that was ablaze, Beric saw her, stumbling and moving awkwardly through the dirt and snow, three bolts already protruding from different parts of her body, still she moved onward, the unholy madness of Torment fueling her.

Beric took aim and steadied his breath once more and let loose the bolt, the screams were cut short by a fleshly thud, and a loud crack as the creature that was once his mother fell to the forest floor unmoving.

The Templar from Aleksandrov came to the young boys mind, his words rang clear as day “Your mum has the sickness boy, you go on now you go and you run and dont be goin’ to say goodbyes you don't go near her not at all, you run.” And run Beric did.


Eventually Beric made his way to the city of Aleksandrov and was fully enveloped by the fanaticism that found root there, much of his young adult life was spent serving the church there in any way he could, be it with prayer or with his blade, much of those times Beric remembers with a hint of fondness, but mostly regret.


Years passed, times changed and Beric grew, leaving much of the disillusioned fanaticism behind him he pressed forward, always keeping some knowledge of Templars in his back pocket, enough to get by.


Please write a few short paragraphs of an in-character response to the following scenario:

“State your business and make it quick, citizen; we’ve enough bodies in there to keep us busy for years without adding yours to the pile, and those VIC are stirring up problems something fierce as of late.”

“I am here to aid however I can, and bring the wrath of Decus if need be…” Beric placed a large hand on the higher platform of the official, the gleam of gold glinting between the pair for just a moment..

This was the moment, Beric could hear his heartbeat bursting in his ears, for all he had been through this was it, each beat his mind tore back to visions of his Torment ill mother, screaming and screeching into the night sky as he put bolt after bo-

“ Aye, brother come in come in, praise be and all that…” The man spoke softly his hand hand already swiped the coin Beric had discreetly placed there and brought forward a small paper bundle..”Here you go, hrm your name again?”

“Beric Voss”
