(1/2 Human 1/2 Elf) I was a pretty average child. I went to school and lived with my Mom and Dad in the small village known as Brookstone on the edge of the forest. Everyday after our school lessons, me and my friend Ignis, would go to the woods and skip stones and climb trees and such until night fell. My Mom and Dad were very happy people. Dad made a good fortune as a blacksmith selling weapons and armor and I used to help him a bit, but I really didn't favor the blacksmith forge. I found banging the scolding hot metal with a hammer was a bit difficult and I couldn't really ever get that nice sleek shape of a blade that Dad could when he did it and I still have scars from the hundreds of times ive gotten burned trying to make a dagger or a chest plate. My mom on the other hand was an expert in herbal remedies and medicine. I often helped here plant herbs in the garden. For I had a passion for living growing things and I was born with a very green thumb. So between playing in the woods with Ignis and school I was often in the garden caring for the plants and magical herbs that me and Mom used to care for the sick people of Brookstone. So a lot of the time I came home to people with huge gashes in there legs or huge scrapes across there forehead lying on our couch, but me and Mom always managed to fix them up again. As me and Ignis grew older we made a couple of bows in the woods and we would spend hours shooting acorns off branches and once even a hornets nest. I was very natural with a bow and when I am in the woods shooting things with Ignis I find a very strong inner peace. I led a very happy life, but then the day came when it all changed...
I was in the woods with Ignis and we were practicing archery by shooting a knot in a tree. I shot one more arrow into it and I said "I gotta head back, I'll see you tomorrow." Then he said "Ok, see you tomorrow". Then I headed home and went through the front door of our little wooden house. I greeted Mom and Dad then took a bath in our big wooden bath tub. After that I crawled into bed and sleep dawned on me.

I woke with an intense heat hitting my face, I then shot up to a sitting position in my bed. I looked around my room and everything was on fire! I jumped out of bed and ran out the doorway of my bedroom as the flames slowly creeped up my bedroom walls. I ran to the living room and what I saw paralyzed me where I stood. A hooded man was standing in my living room and my Dad was standing in front of the hooded figure with the hooded mans blade piercing his stomach but he managed to say one brief word to me before he fell to the ground, "Run" he said. Horrified, I grabbed my bow and a quiver of arrows that i keep by the door and sprinted out of the flaming house. I looked around and I saw burning houses and many more of the hooded men walking around killing people that tried to flee into the forest. I swung my head around to my burning house and saw the hooded figure that had killed Dad standing in the doorway. He approached me with his long blood dripping blade in hand. My instincts told me to run ,but I then felt an intense sense of anger surge through my body. I readied an arrow in my bow as the man approached me. I took aim at his head and the whole world seemed to slow down, the screams of the villagers became muffled and then I let go of the string. My arrow whizzed through the air and struck the hooded mans skull. Coming back into reality, I ran for the shelter of the forest, but a wall of hooded men stood in front of me making my escape impossible. Then one of the hooded men bashed my head with the handle of his sword knocking me to the ground, I closed my eyes tightly and at this moment I knew I would most certainly be killed. I thought of my dad and how he was killed in front of me and of how Mom and Ignis were also probably dead. I knew I was alone now... Nobody is going to save me... I waited for the hooded mans blade to pierce my chest but nothing happened. I opened one of my eyes and I saw the man was standing before me. He dropped his sword and then I saw that an arrow was sticking out of the front of his face. I looked over my shoulder and saw Ignis! He wasn't dead! All of the hooded men rushed upon Ignis and I then got to my feet and grabbed my bow. I was getting ready to make a shot at one of the men when I heard Ignis shout, "Run! Get out of here!" I thought, no I couldn't leave Ignis, I can't leave my only true friend here to die. But as I heard him shout at me again. I ran, as fast as I could into the forest and disappeared into the thick trees. I ran and ran until I couldn't run anymore and I stood there in the middle of the forest. I couldn't hear the screams of the towns people anymore and I felt alone... so utterly alone....

I sat there on a tree stump and cried and cried, I then got to my shaky feet and started walking away from the tree stump, not knowing where I would end up. I kept walking for what must have been hours and then I stepped on a patch of leaves and a rope hidden by the leaves tightened around my ankle and I was launched into the air and was dangling from the tree upside down. Then a man in bandit clothing emerged from a bush and approached me. I started to panic. "Hey! I need help!" I said. But he ignored my request for assistance and smacked me in the head with the end of his wooden club, My vision became fuzzy and I fell unconscious. I awoke with a painful throbbing in my head and a repetitive rocking motion made me sick to my stomach. My wrists were binded to the floor by an old rope and I looked around to find that I was in a wooden room with nothing in it but a trapdoor in the ceiling and a small hole in the wall. "Hello? Anyone here?" I said with no response. I looked through the small hole and I knew I was on a ship because all that surrounded me was empty, desolate ocean. I waited in that room for hours and the boat started rocking back and fourth violently, then the bandit came down from the trap door and cut the binds off my wrists and grabbed me by the arm. "Who are you and where am I?" I said. "Be quiet!" he snapped and he then pulled me by the arm and escorted me up the trapdoor and onto the deck of the ship. A violent storm was rageing and huge waves were washing over the deck. Then all of a sudden a monstrous wave broke over the deck of the ship and I was knocked off deck and into the mighty ocean. I then began to tread water frantically, trying to keep my head above water.
I then noticed a piece of driftwood in the distance, so I began paddling for it with all the strength I had left and when I grabbed hold of it i didn't dare let go.

I woke up lying on my piece of drift wood and the storm had ended and the ship was nowhere in sight and the ocean was once again bare, desolate and empty. But then my hopes soared as I saw something on the horizon, land....

Hi, your n°6 was good until the part where your entire village is destroyed and everyone died while you were lucky enough to be hanging out in safety. That's a plot that has been used over and over, so if you could change that part it would be great! :)

I've read it as if your character is telling the story of his life to someone. (as that's what is an in-character introduction) I think that it's missing the description of your character thoughts about what happened. Almost as if your character was writing your story, rather than telling it to someone. You could fix that both adding some "stops" in the storyline where you could add your character's current thoughts while telling the story for example.. or even describing his gestures within "*gestures*" to point out how he behaves. We need to know your character's personality after all :)

That's an amazing improvement, I liked it a lot :D!
Just one little note maybe... the drama part about "everyone I knew is now gone" is kind of odd, a little beyond credibility. If you could change that bit a little it would be great ^^

Lastly, please make sure you understand the following points. It's very important. As a new player, once you play you may be tempted to "test" out an x-ray mod... don't do it! We have a zero tolerance policy for it.
1) We have active members of staff monitoring players suspected of using X-RAY. We have extensive logging capabilities which also highlight to us when X-RAY is suspected. Anyone caught using X-RAY mods or Transparent Texture Packs will be permanently banned without appeal.
2) Anyone found to be griefing our server and subsequently blaming their sibling, friend, dog or any other person other than themselves will be banned irrespective of their innocence.
