Major Dom

Good Lord.

Hey guys, I want to make an Orc character but I have two problems. The first is that I cant think of a good name, and the second is I dont really know how to talk like one, and Im afraid Ill sound stupid, so if people could give me some help on the names and also direct me to a guide on Orc speech or explain to me the basics, Id sure appreciate it.

((Thats a really good point, Im glad you told me... Ill get rid of this topic and either make a new one or just a new character, thanks for all your help and advice.))

((I couldnt really decide and I didnt want to sound dumb so I was going for a lost date. But something around 1200-1500 years before Asulon))

((It seems I made a mistake trying to do this, Ill just scratch this idea haha...))

I really don't like this idea :/ Who really has a specific job in RP that they stick to? I think almost everyone does what they want and its fun that way. Another thing, many people have multiple characters, and that would mean multiple professions, which would just be such a pain to handle. This kind of reminds me of that one Aesop's fable about the fox with the grapes who tries to get more, but ends up losing everything. Just leave the system be.

((The website is www.mytribe101.com, and as to where, I built the city in the temp map, using my temp map character, the family may or may not exist when we go back to Asulon...))

Character biography - Make this at least 2 paragraphs long, which must explain your character’s history, appearance, personality, age and any other details you deem necessary:

Roland Oakbottom was born in Arethor to his father, a wealthy cloth merchant, and his mother, a kind and selfless woman. He was the oldest of four children, having two brothers and one sister. Roland was a very handsome boy, and had short brown hair and dark brown eyes. His father was often out of the city on business and his mother had her hands full taking care of the younger children, so Roland had much of the time to himself. He used this time to satisfy his various hobbies, which included swordplay, literature, and spending a night out in the town with his friends. He always dreamed of being a traveling minstrel, but his father would hear none of it, calling it 'a fool's occupation'. So, when Roland was 19, he left his family in pursuit of his dreams, with nothing but his blue and red tunic, some Minas for his expenses, his boyish charm, and his devilish wit.

Roland is a very carefree soul, and doesn't often busy himself in the day to day acts of others. This isn't to say he is socially awkward or secluded, he is very outgoing, he just doesn't care for much of anything that does not concern him and because of this, he makes jokes out of very serious situations. This also leads to arrogance and Roland getting into bad situations. he is a fun character to have around but can either be hated or loved very quickly.

What are your characters ambitions?:To become a famous bard, and to travel the world making a name for himself.

Please provide an in-game screenshot of your skin here:

Is there anything else you would like to say about your character:Not particularly.

Upon entering the Mighty Human City of Arethor, you come across a shop-keeper calling out to sell his wares to passers-by. The shopkeeper is not a Human, he is a poor dwarf looking to make a living in a new city. What is your response?

Roland is filled with a sense of relief as he enters the gates to the place of his birth. He is excited to see his family again and to visit his friends, although he is worried as to what his father will say to him after Roland ran away. On turning a corner near the entrance to the city, he sees a poor old dwarf selling various wares to the passers-by but to no avail. Roland considers buying something from the old dwarf, but decides not to on account that some other traveler will. With that decision made, he continues down the street to his old home.

You’re wandering the Oren Road late at night, when a large Orc begins to threaten a nearby dwarf. There is no help nearby, and the situation looks like it will escalate into violence soon, what does your character do?

Roland walks down the Oren Road late at night, looking for a place to stay until morning, when he sees a big Orc harassing a dwarf under a tree. Roland, being the noble hero that he is, marches up behind the Orc and shouts "Over here fatty!". The Orc turns his attention from the dwarf and begins to advance on Roland. "My oh my, you're an ugly one. I'd love to stay and chat, but I'm in a bit of a hurry, so can we catch up later?" says Roland as he turned and sprints down the road with the enraged Orc hot on his trail. Once Roland sees the dwarf dash off into the safety of the bushes, he turns to face the brute. The Orc unsheathes a large war hammer and begins to swing at Roland. Roland does a quick sidestep and jabs the Orc in the thigh with his rapier. At this the Orc is furious and grabs hold of Roland in both meaty hands. After taking a savage beating from the brick like headbutts of the Orc, Roland spits in his eyes, and escapes his grasp. While the Orc is kneeling down trying to rub the mucus out of his eyes, Roland picks up a rock and knocks the beast out cold.

Whilst walking down the road to Malinor, you stumble upon an old man. His walking stick , looks weak and frail, and just as you are about to ask something, the stick breaks, and the man falls to the ground. As he falls down, a bag of Minas falls to the ground, and splits open. As you watch the multiple coins spill out, you peer down at the defenceless man. What does your character do?:

Roland is walking down the road to Malinor when he spots a frail old man with a knobbly walking stick. Just as Roland is about to ask the man if he needs help, the stick snaps in half and the old man falls to the ground, spilling a large bag of Minas onto the ground. Almost instinctively, Roland grabs the bag, hits the old man in the back of the head with one of the stick halves, and bolts off down the road. Roland feels terrible guilt about what he has just done until he reaches Malinor and spends almost all of the money on good food, drink, and women, and he forgets all about the incident on the road.
