Personality:
Having all of his immediate kin killed in an explosion in the mountains when he was a young child at only 23, Rith has become a very self-sufficient being. He can be a cold-hearted son-of-a-bitch to people that want to pull his strings and get under his skin. He taught himself to hunt, make his own weaponry, and he was an assassin for 23 years for anyone that was willing to pay the price.

Rith can be your best friend or your worst enemy. He welcomes friendly people always but he has a very short temper and sometimes acts upon impulse instead of rationally thinking things through. Rith cannot stand backstabbers, cheats, and liars and he will deal with them accordingly if they feel the need to mess with him or any of his close friends. He holds grudges and will get even.

Rith is very trustworthy being and is known for welcoming unknown people into his small home in the mountains. He is always willing to make friends and a little cash with the temptation of the racks of weapons he has lining his home. With his personal smithy deep inside his mountain-side home, he forges his own weapons and also sells them to make his honest living.

History:
Growing up in the mountains with his family Rith was one of a mixbreed between Human and Dwarf. Shunned by many dwarfs and some humans he learned to accept his stance in society. While learning to hunt, begin crafting weapons and armor as a child, he was one day out gathering firewood for the furnace for his father when he heard an explosion. He turned and saw a large cloud of dust and black smoke coming from his home. He soon got back to his home and found it collapsed. For days he tried digging out the entrance to the cave but he had no luck. He was unable to get to his family and give them a proper burial. He fended for himself for the rest of his life afterwards.

Rith soon became involved with the lower stance in society dealing with crime and paid to kill. He was an assassin for many years of his early adulthood, involved with outcasted elves of their own homes. He learned to be one of an uncommon nature, the ability to carry a battleaxe while able to maintain his stealth thanks to the elves that taught him. As he became older, he soon decided to go back to his old roots and begin a smithy of his own near his old home and to get out of the life of crime and assassination. He found a suitable location in a mountain a few miles from his old home and he soon began to forge weapons. For the past 70 years, Rith has been forging weapons and armor for local tribesmen. His weapons created include anything from small throwing daggers, to broad swords, to hatchets, to his favorite – the battleaxe. He was accustomed to battleaxes due to his dwarvern roots but he was also made a handy with a dagger and bow due to his life of crime and skills learned from the elves in his early years.

As known by many as a mixbreed, Rith is one that has befriended many and all different races of people because of his personality. Many dwarfs and humans that had once despised of mixbreeds even call Rith a friend, he is even known around some of the local elven communities. Rith is now a prosperous blacksmith with that deadly ability to use his weapons against you.

Appearance:
Rith is a short human, but a tall dwarf. He stands 5 foot 8 inches tall and muscular weighing in around 187lbs. With a scruff beard, he also has long dark brown hair pulled back into a ponytail that hangs to about his mid back. When Rith lets his hair down (a rare sight) it makes his dark brown eyes practically invisible, nearly disappearing within his locks. Rith usually wears a light set of armor for his own protection to thieves, bandits and wild animals. His tan leathery skin gives him an advantage for living in the woods and swiftly able to move about the forest. Seeing as his skin is nearly twice as tough as an average human’s, he cuts rarely due to scraping twigs and braches while sprinting through the forest or scraping against the rocks. With a deep voice, you’ll always know that he’s the one talking in the room, even if some of the other people are looking down at him and the dwarfs looking straight up.

Alright, there's some work to be done before I can approve this.

Your metal weapons can be made from either iron of steel at this point. The bow can be from any real world wood and it's quiver can't be enchanted at this point.

Armor most definitely can't be adamantine, sorry. Adamantine is the toughest metal on Althanas and trust me, you have to work your ass of for Adamantine stuff. Pick either the chainmail or the full plate and make them as hard as iron.

At level zero, you can be average with battleaxe, not exceptional. Same with stealth, though I find it hard to believe that a dwarven battleaxe wielder can be stealthy. All the weapons you make have to be earned through a quest and approved as spoils. It means that you have to make a thread about making weapons, get it judged and get the crafted weapons approved by the judge.

Also, you need to give me some History and Appearance of your character.

I think that about covers it. Make those edits and you'll be set to go.

Alright, thanks. I had no idea about the armor level/types here (assumed you could just pick what you wanted). Never RPed before and one of my friends told me I should just because of something I ratted off in another forum, so I'll give it a shot. I'll make the edits within about 30min (hopefuly).

It's always nice to see new members. I hope you stick around. If you want to know more about Althanas, you can always check out FAQ (you can find link up above on the bar) or you can just PM some of us mods.

Also, just so you know, you could've just edited the initial post, adding the changes. I edited it for you this time for convenience sakes.

It looks pretty good now. You didn't have to take out your battleaxe though. If you still want it, you can add it. If not, I'll approve this and you can play with the rest of us.

I'll keep my battle axe then.

Since I have a variety of weapons and armors, will I be able to chose which ones I use in different RP's?


Also, you said "All the weapons you make have to be earned through a quest and approved as spoils. It means that you have to make a thread about making weapons, get it judged and get the crafted weapons approved by the judge.". Can I make a solo quest thread about making a certain special weapon, and then in turn be rewarded with it?

It's completely up to you which weapons you use in RPs. Hell, you can use them all. Or none of them. Your call.

And yes, you can make a solo thread about making a weapon. Just don't try to shoot for some more expensive metals straight off the bat because the material often depends on your score.

On that note, you are approved! Welcome to Althanas. Feel free to make an intro thread in our Intro/Outro subforum (http://www.althanas.com/world/forumdisplay.php?f=2) and introduce yourself to the rest of us.
