Role-Play Application Example

History
Alfrid was born in the city of Dale to lower level aristocrats, this unique position meant Alfrid grew up comfortably, but not within the courts. Alfrid was smaller and didn't get out as much as many other Aristocratic children of his age, most of whom will go on to be Lords and ladies of the realm within the King's Court, therefore Alfrid was forced to find hobbies that he could pursue rather than be shunned by the more privileged children. He took an interest in Adminstration and bookkeeping, where he learned much of the history of Dale. Alfrid decided that he would not get to fame and fortune through his looks or social status, instead he would try to win the King's favor by serving him as best he can and backstabbing those in his way.

When he came of age, Alfrid easily got a job at the palace as an administrator because so few aristocrats cared for that position and few commoners could read, write or count like he could. over a few years, Alfrid worked his way up through shady forging of signatures and hard work to the point of High Administrator for the realm of Dale, where now all people must give him the respect he so desired. He now works for the King of Dale and does anything he can to maintain his position.

Characteristics and ambitions
Alfrid is extremely ambitious and has a silver tongue which is useful because there are few other outward qualities that would endear others to him. He isn't that handsome, and is neither tall nor strong looking. He has black hair, something slightly frowned upon in Dale. However he is a masterful administrator and the King values his services mightily. Alfrid will do anything he can to win a dispute before it comes to blows as that is where the balance of power shifts to his adversary since Alfrid can speak better than many people.

Alfrid seeks the respect and power he never could wield as a low level nobleman and wants other less educated individuals so see his true worth and respect him. He is however still loyal to his Kingdom and won't betray it.

Roleplay gear
Alfrid generally wears black clothing (harad robes and black leather hat)

he carries a quill and a writing board wherever he goes (sign and swan feather named)

he also has a sharp dagger that he keeps with him should someone try to wrest his position from him by force (Dalish or Iron dagger)

Why I want to be Him
I want to Role-play as Alfrid because Dale needs an administrative person apart from the bash and whackers like the king and others, I also think it would spice things up having a bit of a lowlife playing with other nobles and heroes.
