First and foremost: Tell us about yourself, as a player.:
Hi everyone! My name is Logan and I have been involved in RP almost my entire life. I have constantly searched for the most in depth role playing experience in a fantasy setting, and have played on other private servers for WoW along with RPing on the retail version. From the information I came across on the net this server promises to be the best choice! I love RP, this is probably because of my passion and chosen profession. I am an actor, it is the greatest joy of my life. the ability to develop a character, no matter what the role, is something that drives me and inspires me in almost every aspect of my life. Aside from this I enjoy singing and performing in a variety of styles and settings. I am very excited to have found this server as it may provide the environment to find explore a side of RP I have rarely found elsewhere.
What country do you come from? What is your primary language?
I am from the United States of America, Austin, Texas to be more specific. I have lived in Texas my entire life, and despite that I may not relish in that fact I have finally come to find my Niche here in Austin. There is a blossoming film and entertainment industry growing right here in this city that I am proud to be a part of working on the Television show Friday Night Lights as one of the East Dillon Football players.
How did you get into Warcraft?:
To be honest it all started when I was seven years old and my cousin brought me his copy of Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. From that moment I was addicted to the entire Warcraft Universe. I continued to play every game that followed including the expansions, and eventually WoW and its own expansions. I still play the retail version because I enjoy it so much, but have also come to develop a love for private RP servers.
What made you seek our server over others? (or How did you find us?):
I found this server during a simple Google search after becoming disappointed with the constant problems crippling the server I came from. To much lag and far to many crashes coupled with GMs that were quitting far to rapidly....made me begin to question if there could possibly be better out there that I had yet to find.
What kinds of roleplay do you enjoy?:
Personally I enjoy holding a Guard position in Stormwind. I have developed a character that I would like to create here that is very interesting to me and hopefully will be enjoyed by the players here. Dealing with the everyday issues of a bustling city can be a lot of fun, stressful at times but certainly fun.
What is your favorite race/class? Why?:
I enjoy playing a Human Paladin because in many ways human are strangely the odd race out in retail Warcraft. People assume that because we are human we already know everything there is to know about them so they might as well play a more interesting race. I say that the human history in the game is just as rich and full of life as any other. The Paladin's of their orders are the most interesting of all to me. The way they interact with other races, their religious devotion, their servitude to the Light or in many cases misuse of the Light are all extremely interesting to me.
What are your expectations of this server?:
From everything I have read I expect that I will enjoy myself and hope that others will enjoy me. I believe that this experience will far surpass what I have become accustomed to on others.
Out of all of our rules and regulations listed on our server, which appeals to you the most?:
Godmoding: I hope that the rules on this here are a bit better than they were on my previous server. Unfortunately because of the lack of GMs Godmoding and Metagaming were rampant. I will be glad to be in an environment that takes such things seriously.
Lastly, tell us a story! It can be short, it can be long; but most importantly, we want to see your work in action. Go!:
Here is a sample of Character history I created for my old server. I hope it is to your liking.
When Gabrion was a young man his father was the Commander of the Lordaeron High Guard, and a highly respected member of that society. Gabrion did not wish to follow in his father's footsteps, but rather become an explorer, travel the lands of Azeroth and find adventure. When he reached the age of twenty, after only two years into his explorations, Gabrion received word that his father had been killed trying to save a young couple from a group of bandits. His father, a powerful man that had faced many battles with some of Azeroth's worst evil, had been killed by a simple group of petty thugs. He returned home, buried his father, and claimed all the he had left to him in his will. Part of that will was an old trunk of his fathers trophies, supplies, and medals. When he inspected it he found journals that his father had been keeping his entire life. One passage read, "I love my land, my people, and our way of life to such a degree that if one day I die in a simple act of service, than all the hopes and dreams I have will have been fulfilled." In that moment Gabrion realized that his father's death had not been in vain.
Gabrion joined the Army and the church, following his father path as a Paladin. He was sent into the heart of battle for many years, facing trials all across Azeroth. By the time he was forty years of age he had become a Captain in Lordaeron's army. He held that position for many years and refused several opportunities for promotion, believing that he had not yet earned them. In later years Lordaeron eventually fell. He and his regiment received word of this while over seas, and quickly learned that many of their brothers that survived were offered a place in Stormwind's military. With little time wasted they joined and immediately began serving under the Stormwind banner. He and his unit traveled all across Azeroth eventually finding themselves in the heart of the frozen north. It was there that he led many of the ground forces into battle with the Scourge while other heroes sought to bring down the Lich King himself. He and his men cleared the path for those heroes that would eventually take down the tyrannical leader of the Scourge.
After those battles had finished Gabrion had lost many of his men. He spent many nights laying awake struggling with where he should go from there. One night in a dream he saw his father, he spoke to Gabrion and told him that the honor that once lay in Lordaeron needed to live again. He said that Stormwind would be the heart of the Alliance in the days to come, but without the Light to guide them Stormwind would be lost. Gabrion awoke from this dream with a new sense of purpose, he would reestablish the High Guard in Stormwind, their Nobel lineage would pass to a new generation and the Light would guide their forces.
When he returned to Stormwind he formed the order of the Stormwind High Guard, and promised a new era for the guard, one of peace and understanding. Gabrion's cause was soon met by some of the surviving members of his unit, members of the cities base guard, and many more who followed. He quickly made friends with many of Stormwind's Heroes including The Silver Hand and the Council Ivis. Together they have been able to quell many of the threats that surround Stormwind. Gabrion's first member to be accepted into the order was a young man named Marrix who was Gabrion's escort upon returning to the city. Gabrion soon revealed that Marrix was in fact a Woman posing as a man to have the same respect as the other men of the guard. Instead of punishing her for her deception, he welcomed her with open arms into his order. She has since become his right hand in helping the peoples of Stormwind, and nearly like a daughter to Gabrion.
Soon after facing down many threats from the Darkfire Legion, Demon attacks, and Stormwind's own peoples, Gabrion and his guard saw new threat in the form of a group calling themselves "The Inquisition". The arrived in Stormwind and during their first conversation with Gabrion insulted King Varian and began to spread fear within Stormwind. Gabrion sensed that something may be wrong and began to investigate the situation. He learned that they had recruited Shadow Dancers, and even attempted to recruit Warlocks and Death Knight's.....all of who they supposedly "hated". A mysterious figure appeared to him from the form of a cat. She revealed herself as a woman named Jaia and said that she was an ancient witch of arcane magics, and that she had proof that this "Inquisition" was up to no good. While wary of her, he agreed to work with her as she claimed to be a concerned citizen of Stormwind meaning only to help the city that she herself was a patriot of. In the coming days he was able to prove that it was "Inquisition" members who were responsible for attacks against the Stormwind Guard and the escape of two dangerous prisoners. He has since arrested the man responsible and is using information gained from him to help bring down the corruption of the "Inquisition". None of this came without a price as his friend Vlammbard was poisoned against Gabrion by the "Inquisition" leader Drez. Their leader lied to Vlammbard about many things that had transpired, only moments after having promised Gabrion better relations between their two groups. Gabrion lost a dear friend whom has seemingly gone missing from the order of The Silver hand, but is currently invading Gabrion's mind through some strange unknown power that Vlammbard claims is of the Light. Gabrion can sense the Light in his words but fears something is amiss. Gabrion has now made it his duty to devote himself even further to the Light and unravel the mysteries of Vlammbard and the "Inquisition", hoping that he will be able to save the city that he so loves.
Is there anything else you would like to add, ask, or otherwise clarify?:
I would simply like to restate how very exited I am to begin! I can't wait to take a look at the wonderful opportunities that this server may have for me. I thank anyone taking the time to read all of this and look forward to working with you.
