Biography (Please make this at least 2 paragraphs long. This must include the history of your character and his life as well as age, appearance and personality, etc.):

Adramelech grew up in the mines, with no knowledge of his parents or tribe, as a slave, mining precious minerals for a small band of thieves and slavers. He soon overshadowed the other slaves, due to his immense size--he now stands at approximately eight feet and seven inches--and was soon considered more useful than most by his captors. At age sixteen, he overpowered his guards while mining and fought his way to freedom using the very instrument that had governed his life so far: the pickaxe.

Before his escape, Adramelech had no name to speak of. The slavers simply called him 'orc'. When he fought his way free, those who took the opportunity to escape with him named him Adramelech--which meant 'demon of the mines' in the local tongue. For a year, Adramelech wandered, living off the bounties of the wild, honing his hunting skills until finally he made his way to the orcish war-nation of Krugmar.

Adramelech stands at eight feet and seven inches, and is seventeen. He fights best with a pickaxe, and knows much about the different types of metal and how best to mine them. He is also a proficient hunter. Being young, Adramelech has not yet acquired many battle scars. He is a blue-skinned orc, with big tusks and piercing yellow eyes. He prefers to fight first and ask questions later but knows when to charge in screaming, and when to talk things out.

What is your Character's ambitions?:

To forge a new life and history for himself, to finally regain his clan name and to bring that name to glory, whether through mastery of combat or honourable death in war. Ultimately, to be remembered as someone great.

What is your character’s favorite tool? (sword, pickaxe, shovel, etc):

Pickaxe, due to his slave past.

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents?

Mining, and using the natural rythyms of the pickaxe to craft the implement into a deadly weapon of war.

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format):

Other Information about your Character:

Blue orc.

With a roar, Adramelech charges in, screaming a war chant and hacking apart his opponents.

Your character wanders into Alras, and comes across a small stall, behind which a well dressed man is standing. He’s offering various wares, the merchant turns to you and says in a posh accent " 'ello there, what can I do you for today?" What is your character response?

A guttural grunt and a nasty grin, before responding with a greeting (or perhaps a curse) in the orcish tongue.

Whilst wandering in the wilds, your character comes across a small hut, which looks abandoned. Inside it you see a chest containing a few iron bars, and a golden sword. How would your character respond?:

First looking around to see that the owner is not around, Adramelech pockets the extra supplies. They might come in handy some day.

Hungry and lost in the wilderness, you stumble across a small trading camp nestled among the forest, they greet you you in the common tongue, how do you respond?

In the typical orcish fashion--"Ug!"--and ask for food. If denied, probably fly into a rage and attack the traders.

You hear word that bandits occupy the road outside the town in which you have been staying. The town guard have gathered, and are asking for assistance to help eliminate them. The leader of the party is offering a reward for any who offer their support. How does your character act on this information?:

Well, let's hope this gets accepted. This server looks to be enjoyable, and serious about its roleplay. I like that.
