Biography(This should include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):

Myroesh is a typical dwarf with a long beard that reaches his chest. His eyes are walnut brown and his hair color is red. He stands at about 5'1" he is 25. He is stubborn and when given a challenge he will not quit till it's done. He is a cheery fellow though loves to have a good ale like most dwarves.

Myroesh was born 6 years before the fall of Aegis. They lived in Kal'Ugraun. When Aegis began to fall his family moved to Asulon to seek refuge from the undead. When he was old enough to wield a hammer 8 or so his father started teaching him the way of the blacksmith. Day after day he would work on perfecting his craft. When one day when Myroesh was 5 his dad was offered a job in another town his dad took it for the extra income, but he couldn’t take his family since it was a town that was just starting and they didn’t have enough homes. They needed a smith to craft armor for the guards stationed there so he left. At age 10 Myroesh’s father came back to get them Myroesh was happy to see his father again. His father told him of the town they where going to and Myroesh grew excited. So they packed up their stuff and headed out.

When they got there his dad took him back under his wing and started training again. Myroesh worked furiously to become a good blacksmith and every month he got better. Then one day when Myroesh was 15 a orc raid occurred. While the guards tried their best to hold off the horde they were not successful. First the Orcs destroyed the walls they then went to destroying the homes of the people who lived there. As Myroesh and his parents where escaping they were separated because the orcs intercepted them Myroeshs father pushed him down a slope and hit his head on rock just hard enough to knock him out.

When he woke up Myroesh couldn’t remember much except his name as he climbed the slope he fell down. Seeing the dead bodies as he reached the top some ripped limb from limb he felt scared and ran not knowing whether whatever did this was still there. He ran until he found a group of Orcs being attacked by humans. The humans who took up swords where hardly a match for the rampaging orcs as the humans retreated into the forest for better ground the orcs followed them. When the Orcs fell to a volley of arrows Myroesh was grabbed from behind by a scout they interrogated him thinking him to be on the orcs side.

Once they realized he had amnesia they let him go and buried they bodies of the humans that fell. Myroesh then overheard the humans talking about how better armor would help the melee soldiers against the orcs. The determination to become a master blacksmith filled Myroesh if he could keep more from dying with better armor he would give his best. Sadly all knowledge of blacksmithing he had is gone so he must start from scratch. So he built a home in the mountains to live in for the next 10 years.

For those ten years Myroesh was content so he tried to live a life in the mountains. Just one thing troubled him though he still felt the calling to be a blacksmith so he trained for five years. During this time he trained in wielding an axe but only for hunting he still thinks he needs work before defending against people. He also performs lumberjack training just in case. He then starts trying to teach himself to be a blacksmith but can’t get anywhere on his own. So he has decides to set out for the smith’s guild to help him get better in his path to master smith. So the day he turned 25 Myroesh sets out on his journey to the Dwarven capital.

Your characters ambitions: Become a Master Smith and provide the weapons used against the Orcs to avenge his dead Aunt and Uncle.

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? Myroesh is no fighter but he will try and help the best he can. As he pulls one of the swords he crafted and ran and threw it to the elf who caught it. The elf thanked Myroesh for the sword as he got back to defending himself. As each person fell Myroesh began to worry and decided to jump in and help physically. However Myroesh was quickly sent into in unconscious state after one of the bandit hit him on the head with a hammer. Minutes later Myroesh woke up because the elf kept slapping his face. The elf seeing him wake up thanked him and tried to give Myroesh his sword back but Myroesh told him to keep it. Then Myroesh got up and left.

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? "I am looking for your finest pickaxe." the shop keeper smiles and shows him to the pickaxes.

Other Information: Myroesh is very competitive when it comes to smithing. He is scared of zombies though because there just plain creepy

I am really sorry but I am going to have to make your application:

Your application has been:

But don't lose hope! After two days you can re-apply which gives you plenty of time to fix up your application and plan it out, as well as use all the advice I am about to give you to make it spot on. Also check out the links at the bottom of this page, trust me they really help.

I was told that as soon as the appliee writes an incorrect powergaming definition I have to deny you. You see you have written a definition for powergaming for an "RPG" rather then just RP which this server is. Go to the lord of the craft wiki and type in "Powergaming" or join team speak and go to the application team channel. There we will be happy to help you.

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 :)
