What is your Race?: Orc

Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.): Nazarger was a stout and strong child with a feisty and bashful personality. He had a strong body and the capability to run for long distances. He had a sly look about him and a scar across his bicep. With the growing battles across the land his parents soon abandoned him and left him confused, hungry and scared in the wild. He learned to survive and fight for himself and after stumbling across another Orc village effected by war he was soon to be taken in and by the age of 17 he soon grew power and responsibility over the village. After seeing the damaging effects of war and battle he promised he would protect his people and keep them safe from the wars.

He then went on to help other clans and towns in need becoming a savoir across the lands. By the age of 22 he was a respected warrior and guardian over the land of aegis.

Your characters ambitions: To protect the land from hatred and war and bring peace and harmony trapping the evil within the land.

Out in the Wilds, your character comes across a small cottage. Outside, there appears to be an elf struggling combat with two bandits. What does your character do? He charges at the bandits and jumps in front of the defenceless elf befor unleashing a raged roar at the bandits scaring them away, soon to tell the elf that if he needs help again that he will be in a nearby town.

Your character walks up to a shop in the middle of Al'Khazar. "Hello, my good sir!" says the shop owner. "What may I help you with today?" How does your character answer? He asks of any trouble in the nearby area and then asks if he has some bread to assist him on his journeys, he then asks of a nearby blacksmith to repair his weapons and armour.

Your application has been:

You are almost there, but you have a little more improvement to go yet. Here is how you can improve:

Try to fix the format of your application. It seems most of your application is in bold. Try deleting all of the and tags and then highlighting each of the questions one by one and pressing the "B" button in the top right hand corner of that editor. While this may be time consuming, you have 2 full days to do this so you have plenty of time.
Try to add lore from the world of aegis such as towns, locations, people and events. (While you do not have to include all of these things, try to include at least one and PLEASE AVOID MAKING UP LORE. Your character is not yet recognised as a guardian or warrior over aegis)
I would like to see at least a PARAGRAPH for each role-play question. RP out your character in each situation and do not just write: John walks in the door.
"Hey! Can I please buy some bread?"
"Sure!"
John pays the man 5 minas.
"Thank you!"
John leaves the shop.
Though this is RP, I want to see how good you REALLY ARE and I want you to try as hard as you can.

Do not post another application within 2 days or that application will be skipped.

If you need any help don’t be afraid to send me a PM on the forums.

Good luck :)
