What experience have you had in Roleplaying, if any?: I played dungeons and dragons for half a year, didn't like to play table top so I switched to role playing games like World of Warcraft (i.e. Roleplaying server on the game). It's a basic understanding at the moment but I hope to increase my repertoire on the subject.

In-Character:

Character Name: Drasarim

What Race are you?: Orc

What Sub-Race are you? (note, you aren’t required to have a sub-race): The shaman

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.): Greetings friend, my name is drasarim, or drasa for short. My life has been a meager and uneventful one at best. I was raised like any other orc, born unto a certain tribe and raised to be a warrior. I guess you could say i'm not too normal given the fact i'm of the shamanistic bloodline, I don't really count it any different than other clans or bloodlines. But that's just me. I'm 30 summers old with a good, hopefully long, life ahead of me. I had a normal life like I said, I thrived for the hunt while I was young as my clan had an equal love for fighting as they did spiritualism. We were regarded just as cruel as we were intelligent. We carved a path for our clan with the broken bones and lives of our enemies. That being said, I have a knack for getting into fights, and once the bloodlust takes over, ancestors help my foe's. I've been gifted with a rather exceptional understanding for swordplay, and I can't live without my shield, literally, i'd probably be dead by now. I have rather good proof to that claim, i've lost sight in one of my eyes due to a nasty dwarf that had the wits to jump me. The bloodlust kicked in a tad early and I separated his spine from his body. Not many people talk to me anymore..... But that's ok, I don't hold it against them. As fore my history, I've been known to get into fights alot, sporting scars from a myriad of battles from foes less fortunate. Iv'e been told that I have a rather humble look on life and a friendly nature, even for an orc. But the thing that stands out most about me is this thing I call bloodlust. Whenever I get into a fight that takes alot out of me, I become this monster hellbent on killing and maiming. Normally after it subsides I pass out from exhaustion.

What is your Character's ambitions?:To survive and thrive off the cacophony of battle, for the glory of the kill and the celebrations afterwards admittedly.

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

What is one of your Character's most skilled talents? Unparalleled finesse with a sword coupled with a knack for strategic clarity in a battle.

A screenshot of your skin (must be in proper format): File size is too big so here's the link

Other Information about your Character: Blind in one eye, due to a scar from a distant battle. An insatiable appetite for food, and a gifted intelligence born from that of the shaman bloodline.

Open-Response-Questions

Whilst traveling from the Cloud Temple you see a small halfling, being harassed by two armed warriors. They appear to be trying to steal money from him, how does your character respond? Well, not wanting to miss out on a fight. I stand there and assess the two warriors for weaknesses. Once they notice the hulking orc staring them down they will either high-tail it out of there or try to pick a fight..... hopefully the second.

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? I size the man up and notice he doesn't have a bodyguard at his stall, orcs are in high demand as bodyguards due to there unparalleled skill in battle. So I ask the man if he's recruiting anybody to guard his stall from thieves and bandits. Maybe I can get a few extra minas or a discount on his wares.

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?: That gold sword looks like a weapon fit for an orc, I go in the hut to check for a person and if I can't find one.....steal it.

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? Ask if they have any spare food for sale, having acquired some recent wealth from the corpses of foes a few miles back.

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?: Ah finally a fight, not wanting to be idle when there could be a battle going on, I quickly enlist in the party going after the bandits. The wealth is an extra, the real reward is the chance to find a worthy opponent.

Under review.

Denied.

Alrighty... So, first thing I noticed was that your skin is in an incorrect format. We're not looking for the .png file. We would like to see a screen shot of your skin. Next, your definition of Powergaming does not suit our liking. This definition is one found when you "google" the term. To find a definition that is acceptable, please refer to the support topic under the Whitelist Application section on the main page of the forums. And your ORQ's and biography are next up. If you want to do your bio in first person, that is fine. However, you must talk how your character would talk. Your bio seems to be in first person and yet you are an orc who talks like a human. The same is true for your ORQ's ( Open Response Questions ), they seem to be in first person but lack the proper language. Another note on your ORQ's is that "one-liners" are unacceptable in any form. The easiest way to prevent this is to elaborate!

You are encouraged to apply again. However, you should revise your application before doing so. Do not resubmit an application before a full 24 hours have passed. ( Time relevant to this post )
