Full Name: Orkkrin Durkkin
Current Age: 36
Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):

          Orkkrin is a goblin that was raised in the Lur clan however, when he was still young he wondered out of camp and became lost. The young goblin was alone at night in the dessert with no clear way to survive however, his goblin mind was able to see his situation and he begain to think of things he would need and how he might find his way home. It was brutal for Orkkrin for nearly a year he had to survive on his own until he found his clan again but his will to live and strength were easily seen by his elders and he was welcomed back with a few loving fists to the face. Orkkrin later in his life found that he was becoming restless he had traveled with his clan all over the dessert and raids but something with in him urged for something but he couldn't think of what it might be. He finally found his answer in a raid when breaking into a random hut he found a book instead of destroying it he begain to try to read it. He kept it a secret because he did not want his clan to think he was weak and he felt like the book and others he began to collect may hold some key to this uneasy feeling he couldn't seem to shake. However, he couldn't make sense of it finally he began to wonder if he even could understand it so he decided he needed to find some one who could show him, teach him to understand the strange symbols and letters and left his clan in the dead of night.

          Orkkrin had only ever been truely alone for that year as a child and felt slightly nervous knowing he might never see his kinsmen again, but he was determined to understand why he felt so uneasy around them to learn why he felt restless! So he set out to find the only people who could possibly teach him he left to see the lands of men, dwarf and elf to try to find some one who could teach him. Orkkrin found it harder then he at first thought knowing little to nothing about them he didn't know how to really communicate at first he would come to a town to be simply chased away by the villagers. He did find a teacher though not quite the way he expected, while resting under a tree unknowingly near a human town he was awakened by a small human child. At first he wasn't sure how to react so he sat up both of them just stareing at each other until it spoke something he couldn't understand he simply grunted a responce and the child simply nodded. Orkkrin wasn't sure of it's intent but this was the first human to actually speak to him so he tried to talk back while not seemingly scared he did see a bit of uneasy in the way the human child watched him so he relaxed as much as possible. Though they couldn't communicate very much and the child started to walk away before turning around and waving Orkkrin didn't know what this ment but waved back as the child left. With this Orkkrin felt like he may have found the person to teach him so he simply waited there to see if the human would come back, the next day he saw that she had indeed returned though they just sort of grunt that served as "hello" he decided to show the child what few books he had.

          He showed the human child the books and pointed to words and tried to show that he wanted to know what they ment the child seemed a little confused with some words but seemed to understand the most of it. Thus begain their strange friendship as the child begain to try and teach him and him trying to learn what the child tried to teach. Early on his tusks made actually saying anything difficult so he tried to shorten them to try and speak the human's language and after a while was capable of some speech. This would not last however, because the human village found it's self under attack by orcs though not clan Lur they were still orcs. The child however, had grown sence it begain teaching Orkkrin to read, write, and speak as humans do came armed with a sword and shield. The human asked Orkkrin to come and help maybe convince the other orcs to leave but he wasn't sure he could do anything but hesitantly agreed to come and see if he could help his human friend's village. The out come was inevitable the orcs considered him an outcast and the other humans thought his friend was crazy however, the other orcs didn't give them much of a choice and so Orkkrin actually help humans defend aganist his own people a people he had once been like. Racked by guilt of betrying his people he left near the end of the battle returning to the roads and wondering the world leaveing the books behind he would not however, forget what he had learned and hoped to never be put in that position ever again.

Ambitions for the Future: Repentance for past sins, escape the stereotype of being a member of the orc race, find a place he may call "home".

Personality: More thought full do to past actions Orkkrin tries to see ahead of him and tries not to get "caught up in the heat of it". He has a decent understanding of blacksmithing and can repair tools, weapons, and armor with relative competence. From his time watching humans for a while he's learned a small bit about farming and social behavior of humans. However, he is still blunt and still shows his orc side in his manners and generally aggresive behavior common among orcs. However, Orkkrin will still seem uneasy around orc due to his guilt regardless of the fact that there would be only a few orcs that could have possibly survived that battle to tell the tale.

Skills: Basic orc skills, basic blacksmithing, and basic farming.

[b]Open-Response-Questions[/b]
[i]Each question in this section must be answered with a minimum of one paragraph which must describe the event in full. Please be as descriptive as possible and do not break character or lore at any point.[/i]
____

[b]1. You are roaming the mighty capital of the War Nation Of Uruks, as you near the Arena you spot an Orc, wearing what seems to be human garbs as he looks at you he smiles and say out loud in common not in blah “Come friend let me teach you of civilization and break your mind from this orcish savagery!”, how do you react?[/b]

Answer: I think for a moment wondering who this other orc may be and how he came to be where he is now. So I simply ask "Hello! I understand you a bit but I must ask how you came to be here and what do you seek to accomplish here?" He responce is "I have traveled far and wide and have learned many great things that this world has and I have returned now to try and educate my fellow kin to help them progress beond this savage and unforgiving exsistance!" I can only stare at him as he beams with pride at what he says before I begin to speak "I too have traveled a bit though clearly not as much as you have, but how can you say this is savagery? We are orcs this is our nature and while I hope we eventually come to terms with the other races I don't want us to lose what we are for their sake!" At this other orcs become interested and soon theres a small group of them watching us argue back and forth about what it means to be an orc. Finally he cries out with rage "Look around at this! This pathetic rabble! The stupidity! All of it! All of it!" I simply reply to him by saying "When I look around I don't see a tribe of savage and stupid orcs I see my fellow kin and I see them the way they are." I look to the crowed that has gathered and say "How do you all feel about this? do you feel like your stupid? Or pathetic?" The crowed seems to get the idea and begins to mummble about beating the life out of the "civilized orc" to the point he seems to get so nervous he runs with all the strength his legs probably have. They just silently watches him run before laughing and begin to chase after him I simply smile and think to myself that this the way we are and its fine to be an orc.

[b]2. As you are watching an Arena fight between two Orcs, the Goj of Krug walks towards the Arena, and shouts “Mi brudderz da Feztivel ob Krug iz coummeh! We needz zacrifizez tu zummun da Zpirit ob Krug un diz uzg, go gadder da Warbandz nd raid da landz nd bring mi buck zacrifizez, twiggy nd pinky dat we kan zlauhater upun da alter ob Krug nuw go mi Brudderz!” How do you react to this?[/b]

Answer: I understand what is happening but I can't see a way to stop it other than warn the humans and elves that may be near by however, by the same token I swore to never get caught up in a conflict like this ever again. So I watch as the arena roars with vigor and begins to empty I decide to try and escape from the horde by being one of the last ones out and break off from the group outside. This goes about as well as I had hoped until a few others see me running in the opposite direction! I wasn't sure if I could lose them in the dessert and so I turned around and ran past them, though confused they simply turned around and followed me I had to lose them by running back into the city. I am able to lose them by running around from what seems like several hours before finally lossing them and quick exit the city hoping to aviod all of this until it passes.

[b]3. As you are travelling in the barren Orcish deserts you come across a quiet oasis. Beside it sits a small tent where a young orc is preparing a meal of roasted halfling. He calls you over, offering you to join in with his meal. What does your character do?[/b]

Answer: I agree to join him and as we feast we share tales of adventure and war though I am a goblin so my tales arnt filled with the same violence and war his are. However, I hear him out and ask "Young warrior why are you out hear all alone? Where are you from?" The Orc is hesitant to reply as if he doesn't quite know himself and quickly changes the subject by saying "They are not very far but as for your self why are you traveling alone?" I reply "I carry a great guilt about me that I must travel with I can't face my fellow kin honestly until I atone for it." However, before he can respond I become very sleepy falling asleep I try to asked for his name but I am asleep before I can ask. When I awaken I find that the camp has disappeared and that there was no trace of it ever being there. However, I notice something in my hand a scribled in crude letters "I could never forgive myself. . ." I begin to wonder who that orc was and if he had ever actually been there in the first place. . .

Please wait 24 hours before re-applying.

 

I can tell you put a lot of work into your application, so don't be disgruntled by this denial. However, there are a few reasons I can't let you in .

 

1. Your definitions are slightly off, they aren't really exactly what we're looking for. Try to polish them.

 

2. Your backstory is long, however doesn't have much lore within it. Please prove you read the Orc lore as it is VERY extensive. 

 

3. Your skin really needs to be changed, blue Orc? No no.

 

4. Try to polish your ORQs up a bit too.

 

Not a bad app, but needs some polishing before it is acceptable.
