First and foremost: Tell us about yourself, as a player:
Hello! My name's Balderdashing, Balder, Chase, whatever. I'm a fairly easy-going person with a preference for quiet, mellow conversation and an unhealthy fixation on bad puns. I tend to be relatively reserved out of character, though it's not really due to any sort of animosity to other people; I simply have very little to say most of the time that I feel is pertinent to the discussion at hand. That said, I do my best to remain friendly and helpful to most everyone I meet, irrespective of background. I'm twenty-one years old, a bit too short for my liking, and possessed of a tendency to write forum introductions like a dating profile. I'm also mildly dyslexic, so bear with any typos that pop up here and there if you can. ;;>.>
I'm originally from Oklahoma, but I've recently moved to the West Coast. Not much else to say beyond my affinity for wordplay and healthy disdain for vampires.
What country do you come from? What is your primary language?:
As stated above, I'm a US citizen and native English speaker.
How did you get into Warcraft?:
Got into Warcraft through a significant other some years ago, roughly three months before Cataclysm dropped. Came for the roleplay, left after it seemed to dry up on both Moon Guard and Wyrmrest.
How did you find us? Did anything in particular draw you to the server?:
A friend referred me about a month ago? My sense of time is fuzzy on that one. Their testimony to the server's quality of roleplay and integrity of setting was the biggest draw for me.
What kinds of roleplay do you enjoy?:
I enjoy roleplay as dictated by the characters. Whether that be a roleplay event set up beforehand, or spontaneous, on-the-spot roleplay that evolves out of a simple meeting on the roadside. I disdain railroaded, fully pre-planned roleplay where characters exist only to follow a series of steps and actions defined by a puppetmaster rather than acting of their own accord in response to the actions of other characters, NPCs, and their own internal motivations.
As to partner count, I have a preference for smaller, more concise gatherings of.. Roughly 2 - 10 people. That said, I won't walk away from a roleplay for my own comfort if it wouldn't be in-character for my character to do so.
So, I suppose.. I like everything, pretty much? Sorry if that's a bit nonspecific. If required, I'll respond with something a bit less nebulous.
What is your favorite race/class? Why?:
My favorite class is warrior, and my favorite race is undead. There's something to be said for the allure of a long-dead knight beating an enemy to a pulp with an arm he ripped from his own socket. MediEvil was a great game.
What are your expectations of this server?:
I suppose my expectations are that character integrity is not expected to be compromised for OOC desires by other players, and even-handed application of power from the mods/GMs in relation to players. I've had bad experiences with both on several MMOs, but I've heard nothing but good about CotH.
Out of all of our rules and regulations listed on our server, which appeals to you the most?:
IC/OOC separation and language/tolerance are probably the ones that stick out at me most. I enjoy seeing people get along.
Did you know that we have a Mentor Program? It's entirely voluntary and you as a new player can sign up for it right now in your introduction! Are you interested in signing up to be assigned a Mentor? If so, say so here (Please enter at least "Yes" or "No"):
Nah.
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!:
Spoiler'd it for the sake of keeping things neat looking. Admittedly, I kinda wrote this in about fifteen minutes on minimal sleep, so I'm sorry if it's kinda long-winded. If something with dialogue is requested, I'll whip something else up. Hope it's up to snuff!
Is there anything else you would like to add, ask, or otherwise clarify?:
If anything here in my introduction has seemed passive-aggressive, dismissive, or otherwise impersonal or abrasive, I really do apologize! I tend to be brief with these sorts of things, as I don't want to miscommunicate myself or my intentions. I'm really a very friendly person, I promise!

I'm always curious to hear about the people who spread the word.
