First and foremost: Tell us about yourself, as a player:
I've always enjoyed PvE over PvP, Never been a fan of competitive game-play, and, for a time, preferred solo game play over multi-player games. I'm friendly and get along with most, and know how to respect a character's characteristics in an RP setting. (For example: If I am interacting with someones character that has a fear of germs, I tend to use my character to put him in situations where he will get to Role play it, by coughing or sneezing and such.) My love for video games and fantasy started with legend of Zelda on the 64 when i was about 8, since then I've come to love games like the fallout and oblivion series, which moved me towards Pc gaming, and the half life series. I recently made some friends who got me hooked on DnD/Pathfinder, and i am currently GMing a campaign over Team speak.
What country do you come from? What is your primary language?:
I live in the United states, I speak English.
How did you get into Warcraft?:
I had always known of world of Warcraft, Being the most successful MMORGP and all, but I didn't really get into it until High school i think, when a couple of my friends who had played before decided to start up again. This was before I knew how much I enjoy RP and the group of friends I was playing with frowned upon it, so I ended up on a normal PvP server. I played a Blood Elf paladin to level 80 and eventually got tired of repeatedly going through the same dungeons and waiting around in town for someone to group with, so i eventually cancelled my account to later discover RP servers.
What made you seek our server over others? (Or how did you find us?):
A friend on my TS server has been looking for an Rp based MMO we can play together, he recently got onto this server and recommended I try and join so we can Rp together.
What kinds of roleplay do you enjoy?:
So far I've only experienced tavern RP, I was part of a Minecraft Rp server for some time, where we built a a city and interacted with each other as a small town community of friendly neighbors and the occasional grumpy Gus. But the adventurous style of Role playing seems like a lot of fun.
What is your favorite race/class? Why?:
Favorite race would be blood elves, I've never been a fan of a muscular/large physique on my characters, I can't really relate. But i will most likely be playing a night elf.
Favorite class... I'm most Familiar with paladin. I like rogue, warrior and hunter, but i never got past 50 with those alts. I tend to lean towards melee classes, but my favorites are classes that are balanced in both sword and magic.
What are your expectations of this server?:
I expect to make many friends, both in character, and out. I hope to help those I encounter on My travels, and come to a point where my character has a large network of companions I can call upon for favors, and vice-verse, I would like to have a character others can count on.
Out of all of our rules and regulations listed on our server, which appeals to you the most?:
Your rule against god modding, nothing annoys me more then a character with no flaws, they are no fun to role play with, they take their character too seriously and absolutely refuse to place their character in any situation where they can display any sort of emotion or weakness.
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 back story I wrote for one of my DnD characters, where my friend and I decided to play as sully twins, Richter and Victor Windcall. (Sully are Genie spawn that just sort of appear in the world at some point with no idea of their heritage.) My friend wrote the back story for His character first, so excuse me if their are a few plot holes, they were supposed to be read together.
The twins are about 8 years old in this story.
Unlike his brother, Richter, Victor did not possess the common physical attributes of a human. Victors skin held a bluish white tint, his eyes, a violet, and his hair was a random assortment of green, blue, red, and yellow strands. Although almost equal to his brother in size and strength, Victor possessed a much more passive nature and, instead, chose to hide away from those who would mock or crucify him for his appearance, where his brother would pummel them senseless as victor tried desperately to call him off.
At their young age, Richter was quite the smooth talker, he had a knack for gaining the trust of strangers or causing a distraction before making off with their food. Victor didn't have the nerve for that kind of task, he spent most of his time in the alley-way they had occasionally made into their home, befriending the rats and other vermin while waiting for his brother to return. Where Richter had his way with people, victor had his way with animals, he would often name them and share his food with them, before being scolded by his brother for wasting the food he risked his ass to get him.
Sometime after the twins reached the age of eight, a caravan of monks accompanied by sell swords came through the city, they came for trade, and to stock up on food. As a few monks set up a large basket and began moving to and from collecting a varied assortment of food, Richter saw an opportunity to swipe some goods. He made his way through the crowd towards the basket as victor watched from afar. Waiting until all the monks were facing away, Richter made his move. One of the monk's escorts spotted him rushing towards the basket from the corner of her vision. Richter had just finished filling his shirt with food, and quickly turned to make off with his prize, bumping into the escorts plated leggings. Richter looked up, dropping all of his loot at the sight of the woman towering over him.
The woman grabbed him by the wrist, "Gotcha, you little rat!"
Richter began to kick and scream. Victor saw this, and rushed to his brothers aid. Victor begged the woman to let him go, apologizing on his brothers behalf, but Richter continued to kick, curse, and spit as she dragged him through the streets, ignoring victor. Victor didn't know what to do, he followed her through the heavy crowds, hiding his face with hooded cloth while nervously petting one of his pet rats.
She took Richter to a tent with two monks at the entrance, she made her way inside. Shortly after victor made his way to the front of the tent. He paused, looking back and forth at the two monks who seemed unaware of his presence, victor was afraid of how they would react to him following her inside, but even more afraid to approach them. He swallowed his worries and stepped inside to see his brother being restrained by two men in full plate, before a woman wearing white robes. The woman in robes was talking to the woman that caught Richter about a punishment, no one in the room seemed to notice victor.
Victor tried to get their attention, "Excuse me..." but his timid voice was drowned out by the shouting between his brother and the men restraining him.
Still invisible to everyone in the room, victor made his way towards the woman in robes, who was currently debating with the woman in plate. Victor reached out and grabbed the woman's robe, nervously tugging on it to get her attention. At that moment all eyes fell on victor. Terrified, he pleaded for his brothers freedom, She could tell by looking at him the kind of life these boys lived.
That was when she offered to take the boys in.
For months victor quietly did the tasks asked of him by the monks, as Richter trained with Valerie (The armored woman that caught him stealing). It wasn't until Richter's first day of Mounted training, that Victor found his Niche.
After a long day of mounted training, and scoldings from Valerie, Richter was getting frustrated, and getting more aggressive with his horse. The horse finally snapped and went berserk, bucking Richter from his sattle, at that moment victor vaulted over the gate and lunged at the horse, wrapping his arms around it's neck just before it trampled Richter. The horse thrashed back and forth as Victor held on tight, his legs swinging through the air like a rag-doll. This proceeded for several minutes, the whole time, Victor was talking to it, "Please Stop!" The horse eventually calmed down, Letting victor calmly down on his feet. The horse began grazing, and even letting victor pet it as if nothing had happened.
This event was witnessed by a druid named Gavin, who had been traveling with them. Gavin saw a natural connection with nature in victor, and took victor under his wing to become a druid.
Is there anything else you would like to add, ask, or otherwise clarify?:
Nothing that i can think of off the bat, just that i hope to hear from you soon, thank you.
