Ali bin Ahmad is the ideal example of a moderate roleplay character. I designed him and his story as a whitelist application example for my upcoming historical roleplay server "Crusadecraft".

Background Story:
Ali was born in the countryside of Western Sicily, in the Emirate of Bal'harmo. His father, Ahmad, was a tenant farmer to the Muqti of al-Hammah. Being a very decadent and agressive man, Ahmad used to beat Ali and Ali's mother frequently. This granted Ali a lazy-eye after a severe beating. His father, after a night of heavy drinking in the town of Mazar, fell into the Mazaro river and died; he presumably drowned. The Muqti of al-Hammah forced Ali's mother to remarry after the customary Iddah (waiting period) according to Islam. Ali's new stepfather, Badr al-Qasim was the son of a carpenter. He valued pretty objects and vistas. And so, he could not stand the sight of Ali's dreadful face, marked by the lazy-eye, a large nose and crooked teeth. After failing to aid Badr in cutting down a tree in order to collect firewood, Ali broke his foot. Badr, enraged by Ali's encompetence and not willing to feed and house him any longer, expelled him from his home. This forced Ali to carve out for himself a future of his own. He left for the great city of Bal'harmo, hopeful to find a new beginning there.
