Meta-gaming:

Past / History (include childhood, major-events, etc. 2+ paragraphs long):

 

The
tent was filled with the smell of acacia wood and almond burning in the
fire in the center of the small tent. A leg of Jabbernack roasting over
the fire, the fat sizzling as it fell into the fire with a satisfying
pop. A loud but not deafening groan echoes through the tent, as an
orcish woman gives birth to her son, the pain of many scorpion stings
felt all over her body from the birth. She continues grunting and
groaning for about three hours before the orc child is born with naught a
cry sounding from it. The Orc Womans husband comes over trying to help
her up but is waved off, the woman almost shouting "ger' off, ye' tink'
eh' can'it move meh' sef, Bah! shove off, buh gimme da' kid, ah' wan'
ta' look at is' face," she says as the husband grumbles and and
carefully hand the baby to her, the woman once more speaking "es' nah
scrawneh' fank God fer' dat, e' looks strongah' den uddahs' too, mebbe
dats' me though' eh," she says a small smile tugging at her lips as she
nurses the baby.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Megar
stood in the arenas ring arms spread and legs wide, staring into the
eys of his opponent, a large wolf with a thirst for blood looking back,
growling and occasionally snarling as it paces. Megar, growls back and
beats his chest in a 'Come On!' gesture, making taunting whimpers and
barks, the wolfs eye getting wider and rage filling its eyes. Megar
sneers, laughing, the wolf lunges at Megar, teeth bared and aimed for
his throat, Megar tumbles to the ground the wolf digging its claws into
his chest and trying to snap at his face. Megar snarls and Bites down on
the wolfs snout, creating a few deep cuts that bleed lightly as the
wolf disengages, batting its snout in pain, Megar makes taunting whimper
sounds as he laughs. The wolf snarls and howls, Megar charging the wolf
and wrapping his arms about its neck, tries with difficulty to wrestle the beast into a hold,
Megar looks to the crowd and then to his mother, the woman shouting and
swinging her fist, crying "Blood! Blood! Blood!" Megar smiles grabs the
snout of the wolf. The wolf thrashes, its mouth held tight, as Megar
swings the beast onto a sharp rock nearby, piercing it almost through as
the beast howls and stops thrashing, its blood pools around it, Megar
yells to the sky as the crowd cheers, banging on the bone wall
separating them from the ring.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Megar
yawned, leaning against an acacia tree, watching as the sun set
painting the sands as if it were a sea of specks of dried blood. Megar
thought of this day he had gone through, he had killed a jabbernack and
made a nice pair of boots, pants, and cushioning for his lethal
gauntlets insides. He had raided that abandoned ruin and killed the
miserable hermit that lived there and brought a healthy chunk of loot
back to his tent in the camp careful to give some to Krug as thanks for
his strength. And he had beaten the local drunkard in a chugging contest
by one drink, but Megar meditated most of all on the hermit he had
killed, and the color of the sands. Megar yawned, thinking about how his
life was and sighed, leaning all the way back and falling asleep,
images of pillaging and destruction of human villages and cities playing
through his head.
 

Ambitions for the Future:
He wants to be the best brawler in the world, He wants to eventually
become a chieftain of his own clan, and he really wants to become the
best hunter
 

Personality:
a unique orc in the way that he often makes sarcastic jokes about enemies, he also has a very strong love of his ale and grog, occasionally rum, he is courageous almost to the point of foolishness, he also has an obession with hunting the biggest game he can find, he is loyal to the point of preferring death before betrayal and sees those who manipulate and cheat as unworthy of living under the light of the sun.

Tendencies: when fighting a superior foe or any foe for that matter, Megar will taunt them with sarcastic jokes about them, when Megar is happy he occasionally snorts as he laughs and tends to look down on anything smaller than him as inferior if it isnt an orc or beast

 

Skills: An orc who has practiced hand to hand brawling most of his life, Megar can handle himself in a fight with another who isnt a skilled combatant, He has a knack for tracking down and trapping large animal prey, he has a very strong stomach for alchohol too, giving him a resistance to drunkedness through that means
Appearance (this must include an in-game screenshot of your skin): http://s1314.photobucket.com/user/phanaton/media/2013-07-17_225919_zps5f7b94e0.png.html?sort=3&o=0 ::: Megar is a tall ten foot orc with light brown skin and yellowed teeth poking out in odd areas around his mouth, his eyes are green like cactus bark with thick brown eyebrows, he is bald out of his own choice and wears naught but a pair of lether shorts with a leather belt going from his waist to his left shoulder.
Any other details you wish to share about your character:

 

[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:
Megar lets him finish his sentence and then cracks his knuckles and neck
smiling widely, "ye' er' needin' a bit' a' knockin' te get yer ead' on
straight 'eh brudda' glob? And one o' dem' orcs dat' joins a humie ain' nuh friend o'
mine," Megar says as he walks up. Megar looks the orc straight in the eye and grins widely throwing a fist at the orcs face, rubbing his hand for a few moments due to the pain of the punch. Megar laughs, grabbing the other orc on the shoulders and begins to grapple with him, the two orcs neither gaining or losing ground, the other orc swings his head at megar thumping him on the nose, then swings a shot at his kidney. Megar, coughs and growls, biting the orc on the nose, and with a heave struggles to throw the orc to the ground, but manages to throw him down, kicking him in the side as he lays on the street, Megar grabs his knees breathing heavily as he leans down. Megar spits into the side of the road and breathes heavily, walking off saying as he does so "savage wins, nah' stay down pushdug".

 

[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:
"untin' pinkys? Ha! les' do' it den! been too long since I unted
somefin' worth me' time, parti'larly treehuggahs." Megar says, checking his backpack to
make sure hes stocked with food and drink. Megar is satisfied and replaces his backpack laughing at the thought of seeing the human run in fear from them. Megar looks to the other orcs and shouts as he pulls out an axe "whaddya' waitin' fer' den'? We's get' a hunt ta' do! Yaaah!"

 

[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:

Megar smells the intoxicating meal and walks up, licking his lips and
salivating slightly over it. smiling, he thanks the orc with a nod of
his head rubbing his hands together as he takes a seat and pulls out a carving knife, cutting off
the arm with a jagged back and forth motion. Megar grabs the barbecued arm and holds it like a kabob, tearing pieces off of it as he chews noisily rarely even coming up to breathe as he does. Megar then sighs, finishing the arm, belching loudly and tossing the bone behind him into the
water, belching again, even louder. "das' gud' squeals' orky, thank
ye', gots any treehugger?" Megar says, with another satisfied belch that smells deeply of halfling, a sickening stench to a non-orc.

PENDING

 

I quite enjoyed your application as a whole, however, I believe you should make two changes before I can give a final verdict on this application.

 

First of all, I don't believe you entirely removed the powergaming from your first ORQ. It just says that you hit the other orc, and does not describe the other orc's reaction to such an attack. I recognize that it's hard to tell whether or not one powergames/power-emotes in an ORQ, as that is hard to judge. All you need to do is add a bit more detail regarding the circumstances of the specific attacks when they are successful. If that's not clear, PM me, I will try to elaborate further.

 

Secondly, I believe you should make use of the blah in your ORQ's. If you do know what the blah is, it is the language and way of speaking the orcs use. Your best source for the blah is here. I realize this was not mentioned in your previous denial, and as such, I will not deny you for something like this.

 

Once you've made these changes, simply send me a private message via the forums. Once you're done so, I will review your application once more, and give a final verdict. You have 24 hours to do this.

 

Verdict Below:

 

 

Congratulations, you've been accepted. Your use of the blah could have been better, but honestly that's something that will just improve over time. It's a lot easier to learn it once you've seen it on the server, and we don't expect you to be perfect. One thing which you definitely should do, though. Say "uruk" rather than "orc." That's one thing which your orc would definitely say.
