    [​IMG]

    Like every dwarf, Wulf has hair of black color despite him being fifthy. His body and face have many scars he gained during uncountable battles in sewers, his nose being broken few times, his ears being missing, so he tries to hide it bellow his hair

    How would your character express Happiness and Contentedness?
    Small warm smile. With appreciating his cooking is easiest way to make him happy

    How would your character respond to experiencing Fear?
    Fleeing. His years as a gangster teached him, that fleeing is best reaction to any big problem. He would need a really good reason to stay in fight against what he fears

    How would your character respond to experiencing Stress?
    Heavy breathing. Would be sweating buckets.

    How does your character view Law and Authorities?
    Only law he cared about were rules set up by patriarch of Grofsmids. Laws of Ailor were good to be used against enemies, ignorable when advantegeous.

    How does your character feel about Races other than their own?
    As somebody who grew up in slums and lived in sewers, he had met pretty much every race possible and became quite tolerant of them. Religious Isldar are exception, as he sees them as threat to his existence.

    How does your character feel about Religion for themselves, and other faiths?
    Wulf is a very religious man (7/10), following Dogma of Duindin, finding in his example strenght to continue on. He does not care much of other religions, as long as they do not try to force it on him

    How does your character feel about the Arcane and Magical in the world?
    Doesn't like it, since he had more than enough encounters with it. Feels that it is something somebody low as humans shouldn't play with, that it will bring only suffering and despair. Also doesn't like that somebody with such power could just trash him.

    How does your character feel towards their family?
    Wulf feels great loyalty and love to his family, would do anything for it's survival.

    What is your character the most proud of about themselves?
    That he is still alive, no matter how many obstacles were put in his way. He managed to get quite comfortable life despite him coming from slums

    What motivates your character to move forward and better their life?
    Greed. Wulf is extremely greedy, wanting money to fulfill his vices, not caring of good being of others just to help himself

    What is your character's biggest insecurity?
    That he wasted his whole life doing something pointless. No matter how much alcohol he drunk, how much drugs he had, how many whores he paid for, it does not matter now that he is old. That he will never be able to connect with his bastard children and make them carry legacy of his family
    What is your character's biggest fear?
    That his bloodline will end, and that legacy of his family will be forgotten

    Quirks
    Wulf deems shaking of hands being a basically holy seal of a deal, so while, unlike his kin from Grebor and Aldruin which are generally much more honorable, he is willing to break any deal for his survival or personal benefit, deals after which he shakes hands are exception.
    Skills
    Wulf does not have many skills outside of being first class chef and warrior, as if Mithorrin need to specialize had been always with him despite living far from the most traditional dwarven communities, he knows some basic singing, which he often uses during cooking.
    Likes
    Good ale, good food and money
    Dislikes
    He holds general distain of Dakkar and Isldar, basically shifting hate he once held for Dakkar for destroying home of his ancestors on Isldar, snobbish nobility and people in general that try to seem like they have his best interests, as he distrusts this type of people heavily



    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Wulf was born to a family of dwarves who have lived in Regalian slums for last century, result of Dakkar invasion. Having to survive in such harsh area, having to deal with starvation, crime and abberants wanting blood and soul essence, family hardened and became more pragmatic, and such experiences were teached to young Wulf. He quickly learned that his family was not innocent themselves, muggers, conmen and pickpocketers, but Wulf did never feel like his family was in wrong, since young age he accepted these acts as necessary. His fingers were not the quickest and he lacked the charm, but he made up for both by hardy nature and strength, his family choosing to therefore use such skills and hone them, teaching Wulf to use cheapest weapons there were - sling, club with nails, shield and fists. Yet, fighting itself would not be main focus of his life yet, as criminal acts were more of a side-business. Wulf was teached by his mother how to cook, starting to learn art he would attempt to perfect over course of his life. But in these early early days his life would be quite simple, selling burgers and being helper in pubs, with some points of excitement when his family went mugging or was attacked by criminals or abberants.
    Once he became adult, life would gain a certain reperivness. For next thirthy years he would continue improving his skills, becomign better fighter, chef, becoming able to see trough disguises by sheer force of will, working with many gangs, covens, packs and cults for coin, ending up in pubs and borthels to waste such gained coin. Yet, such repetitive life could not stay same forever. Even though dwarves do not become frailer with age till they reach century, Wulf would find himself gaining weight and starting to bald. He would enter mid life crisis, wondering what was point of his life. So as he reached fifthy, he would decide to leave Regalia to travel. And so he left, arriving on shores of Daenshore, in Wulf's eyes exotic land. There he learned Daendroquin, which he before only knew basics of, over his stay learning to speak it fluently. Such would not be only thing he learned there. He studied with many Daendroque chefs, learning how to make use spices he never even heard of before. And he saw fortresses, fortifications and traps built against Quaskaron and Avanthar raid. Wulf knew basic fortifications from back home, seeing and being part of construction of many barricades and traps during riots. Yet such fortifications were stuff of his dreams, so he chose to study them for duration of his stay in Daenshore. Talking with architects, reading books once he learned to read Daendroquin enough, visiting different fortresses and cities, seeing the work with his own eyes, he improved his skills and became offering his skills, which made his small fortune during chaotic year of 303 and following years, chaos and raids giving Wulf more than enough offers. But as situation calmed down, Wulf would decide in year 307 that it was time to go home, arriving back on his 59th birthday, nine years after leaving it. City had changed greatly in these nine years, but he quickly adapted, putting his culinary and combat skills to great use, eventually becoming famous thanks to his ratburgers. In this year he served many people - Kreiburgs, Shalia, Sophie and Shadowman. But he then decided to make something his own, something new. So he established a pub, his attempt to be his own man. And now he looks to unknowable future, as he puts his hands to work once again

    Loki
    Wulf currently knows this name by only his first name, but he usually when refering about him makes up creative insulting surname. As this is the man who robbbed Wulf's house and took his ears, Wulf holds eternal hatred of him which will either end up with one of them moving out of the city or with one bleeding in side street

    Locke

    One of the first friends Wulf has made after retiring from life of crime. Wulf still sees him friend to be merry with, as he still did not get to know him enough

    John Shepherd

    John is somebody Wulf has considered to almost be Ørbrodir. Wulf is fascinated how simple and good he is, how impossible it seem to turn him away from his ideals. Sometimes Wulf feels like being a old master of predestined hero, John will one day become. But before that day if John needs any help, Wulf shall prepare pancakes and pour ale for him and listen to his worries

    Shadowman
    Neat

    Hello! A very interesting Anglian, a cook and also a fighter, how very interesting! Let's get into the review:
    • Firstly can you please highlight and bolden the titles for each section of the application. Also some clean up on the spacing just so each section fits nicely. This right here is a lovely and simple example of how to do that.
    • Can you specify clearly on their hairstyle whether it's bald, or cut short, etc.
    • Can you please add more detail to all your sections of the personality questions, it's usually 2/3 sentences for each. Why would Wulf react this way, how does it effect him, what would he do in such and such situation? Etc, etc.
    • Can you please also divide the life story into Childhood, Adolescence, Adulthood/Present and add a little bit more detail into Wulfric's life.
    Please highlight your edits in lovely blue and tag me when your edits are done!

    They are no longer a staff member, I will take over this review.

    My Review:
    • "When you're done dedicating your Age plus Five Proficiency Points, you can spend another 10 points, but only on the Arts Category Proficiencies..." Please remove the Hobby Points you added to the Food and Drink Sciences, as that is not allowed as quoted by the Wiki.
    Tag me once the edit is complete.

    @HydraLana You kinda caught me in middle of race change, since I didn't expect anyone to take up this application, since Tiberastic left and I left it under re-review. So for now I will change the proficiencies according to rules, but rethinking him will take some time

    @HydraLana Since you have not answered last, it has been over ten points changed. Moved more points to shielding, added language skills and learned Daendroquin and decreased blunt combat

    It's still approved, your edit was minor enough that I simply didn't feel the need to re-approve the application so I didn't write anything and I didn't change the tag.
