Full Name: Durakk Irongut

 

 

 

Current Age: 40

 

 

 

Sub-race (if any): Cavern Dwarf

 

 

 

Clan (if any): Irongut 

 

 

 

Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):  Durakk was born into the Irongut clan in Kal' Azgoth. He was born to Thonar Irongut. Son of Skippy, Son of Algrim. His father was a blacksmith, although not a very accomplished one. He loved his son though and taught him, from the day he was born to the day he died, to cherish gold, and money. When Durakk was young he asked his father in a note where he got all of the things he smelted into tools and weapons. His father told him that there were people deep underground called miners. He said that they dug up minerals and gemstones, for him to make things out of. Durakk thought this was interesting. He told his father in another note that he wanted to be a miner and that he was going to mine supplies for his father. His father was proud that he showed such ambition from such an early age. His father encouraged him no matter what.        When Durakk was in adolescence his father gave him his first pickaxe made of stone. He told Durakk to go down to the mines and mine some stone to get some practice. He mined stone and stone only for months, when he decided he would mine coal. He mined coal rather well, he was happy that he now mined something other than stone. He showed his father that he mined some coal. His father told him that if he cold mine coal that he could mine iron. This excited Durakk. He rushed to the mine. He mined every bit of iron he could find. He came back and his father made him an iron pickaxe. He loved the pickaxe, it was his favorite and he never let it break.        Years passed, and Durakk was mining gold, lapis lazuli, and redstone. He mined everyday hoping that he would find diamond. They eluded him no matter how much he searched. When one day when he was 34 he found diamonds. He jumped for joy and rushed over to mine them. He came back and showed his father. His father told him that he was now a full miner. Durakk enjoyed this and left a note to his father that he would go traveling for a small while. He went to some human cities and some elven cities. He decided to come back when he was 40. He packed his things and began heading for Kal' Azgoth. Thats where our story leaves off, Durakk on his way home.

 

 

 

Ambitions for the future: Durakk wants to become the richest man in Kal'Azgoth, as long as he doesn't dishonor his clan.

 

 

 

Personality: He is a simple dwarf. He just wants to honor his clan, while getting as rich as possible. He is kind, but rude at times. He has a lot of pride, and will never take a handout. He loves drinking and eating with his clan. The clan is the most important part of his life. He is a gruff man and grunts instead of speaking due to being mute. If he finds gold or diamonds whilst mining he will go for them no matter the danger. He wants to marry a good lass to continue the family line. He isn't proud of being a descendant of Heron, the betrayer who tried to raise the undead Dwain, but he cannot help his blood. He doesn't like talking about that part of his blood line. Why he couldn't have been a descendant of Draco, he doesn't know, but he accepts it.

 

 

 

Skills: He is a great miner, and can drink any man under the table, considering he is an Irongut. He is also good with an axe and will serve the dwarven army in the name of the Ironguts.

 

 

 

Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin):

____

 

 

 

1. Whilst mining deep in the undergrounds of Kalos you see a large deposit of diamond ore at the other side of the ravine you are on. There is a very thin rock bridge that looks precariously unstable, but it is the only way to access the deposit. What do you do?

 

 

 

Answer: I stare at the diamonds. My eyes go wide. My jaw drops to the floor. I start jumping up and down. I keep jumping until I notice my only way over. My joy is quickly ended. I am a bit worried, but diamonds are diamonds. I can't just pass them up. I walk over to the rocky bridge, and dropped some gear. I needed to be light if I were to cross the bridge. I slide across the bridge on my stomach as to spread out my weight. I got halfway across, when I looked back. The bridge was coming down from behind me. I stood up and ran to the diamonds. I dove to the edge. I made it to the diamonds and collected them. I looked back and realized I had no way across to my things, or even back home. I sat down with my diamonds, and stared at the bottom of the ravine wondering if I would ever get home. I sat there for hours when I heard my father coming. I stood and jumped up and down to get his attention. He saw me and asked me "How did ye get 'ere?" I looked at him with a somewhat sarcastic look, considering I couldn't answer. "Roight", he said. "Well, I'll get ye some 'elp." He came back with Dominic. "Wha' is he doin o'er thur?", he asked my father. "I haven't the sligh'est.", said my father. "Well, I guess I'll get em." So Dominic came and got me and when they got me home they asked me what happened, and I wrote that I found diamonds but the bridge collapsed. My father and Dominic chuckled. "I guess 'at's a respectable reason to get stuck on a ledge!" said Dominic. Well, you're probably knackered." said my father."You should git to bed." I went to sleep and got up the next morning and went a mined some more.

 

 

 

2. You are sitting in the local tavern with a large pint of ale in your hand - sitting nearby you is a rather young dwarf whom is clearly going through a bad time. He is crying to himself, and clutching a small wooden hammer toy. In the other corner of the room two shady dwarves are sitting whispering to each other and pointing occasionally at the dwarf. They stand up, one with a small dagger in his hand and begin to approach the young dwarf. What do you do?

 

 

 

Answer: I look at the two men I realize that the young dwarf is one of our allies. I get the attention of one of my kinsmen and point out the two men. He says "Hey 'ey look like they gonna  'tack 'im." then we stand up. I follow his lead. He confronts the two men, about what they are doing. "Oi, ye be'er not be tryin to 'urt 'im." "'Ats none o' your business." they say. "I believe it is." says my kinsmen.  I nod. The man with a knife grabs me and holds the knife to my throat. My kinsmen grabs the man and throws the knife to the ground. The man punches him in the jaw and a fight breaks out. I hold my ground against one but my kinsmen is having trouble. I knockout the one I was fighting but my friend is still getting beaten. I step in and help him but the man dodges my punch and I hit a man behind him. All of his kinsmen jump in and we have an all out bar brawl on our hands. I wake up the next morning, everyone in the bar is battered and bruised. I didn't remember who won or who lost, I just knew that I was in serious pain. I stir my friend and he gets up. "Who won?" he asks. I shrug and we limp back to the clan hall.

 

 

 

3. Whilst wandering through the Dwarven Caverns you hear a voice call out to you; “Oi, ye’! C’mere n’ get ye’rself an ale!”. You spin on your heel and see a heavily bearded bar-owner looking at you - a huge grin on his face, and a mug of ale in his hand. How do you react?

 

 

 

Answer: I smile. I recognize the man as the owner of the Kal'Azgoth Tavern. I walk over to him and take the mug out of his hand. We walk on over to the tavern. "Ye' know, I had a reason for findin ye." he says. "I need a favor." He explains. "I need ye to get me some iron, I'm runnin a bit low." he told me. "There was a bar fight last night, many of me mugs were broken, I need the iron to brace the new mugs." I asked him why pick me when there were many miners in the city. "I owe your family a favor, and I figured you could use the business. Look I'll pay you 100 minas per ingot, alroight?. I agreed to the deal. I wandered down to the mine and in no time I found a vein of ore. I mined it and got it smelted into ingots. I brought it to the man and he paid me in full. I took the money and went back to clan hall and counted my minas.

Your application has been...

 

 

Put on Pending.

 

 

Don't worry, this isn't denied! I just want you to fix some issues with the app which I will list below. Please PM me once you have done so! Do note though, that if it isn't fixed within 24 hours, I will have to, sadly, deny this.

 

The only issue I found is that I found no dialogue within your Open Response Questions. I do realize that your character is mute, but wouldn't other people speak? Also, do note that you do not RP in first person, but in third person. If you would also be able to fix that, then you'd be RPing soon! :)

 

 

 

Congratulations and welcome to Anthos! Happy roleplaying!

 

 

Please wait patiently for a GM to implement you. If you have any questions when ingame, type /mentor. It'll come of use!
