First and foremost: Tell us about yourself, as a player:
(This can be anything. We like to get a feel for those that will be integrating themselves into our community.)
Well, I LOVE roleplay. I always have, always will. This is one of the main reasons i searched and sought out this server. Also, personally, I am am very deep into the arcane magic idea, both ingame and out of it. I love anime, and basically anything asian as well.
What country do you come from? What is your primary language?:
(We ask this, as we take this into consideration with players that do not primarily speak English.)
I was born and raised in The United States Of America, and my primary language is English.
How did you get into Warcraft?:
Well, i am a very big fan of MMORPG gaming such as WoW. I have played WoW on and off for a couple years , but havent really found a server taht fit me. All of the servers I was on were PvP oriented, which, I left each and every one within a few months of my arrival, due to the OORPness and general craziness of the servers. I think though, that this server is perfect for me... the RP of this server will fuel my interest once again.
What made you seek our server over others?:
The roleplay. Its all about the roleplay. I love RP. What more can i say?. Forum RP, Ingame RP, Writing Stories, Writing Bios, Coming up with awesome and completely fun RP situations.... Thats what I do.
What kinds of roleplay do you enjoy?:
(Some enjoy relaxing tavern roleplay. Others enjoy fighting, action and danger. Some in crowds, some in pairs. What appeals to you the most?)
I enjoy all types. Roleplay is different in every situation, and it is awsome to be able to have different RP in different places. I dont really place one type of RP over another type.
What is your favorite race/class? Why?:
Hrm.. that is a good question. Probably I would say Blood Elf as my favorite race, because they have quite an interesting RP background and storyline. Dabbling in the Arcane, Being exiled from their homeland, Fighting for their very existence against the Horde... Pretty interesting stuff if you ask me.
My favorite class? Well now that is easy. Warlock. Definitely. Arcane magics, Alchemy, Fire, Power, ... what more could a guy like me ask for?
What are your expectations of this server?:
My expectations of this server are that it will finally fill my need for Roleplay. I have been looking for a WoW RP server for a long time, and I think that Conquest of the Horde will finally fill that gap between PVP and RP that i have been looking for.
Out of all of our rules and regulations listed on our server, which appeals to you the most?:
(Feel free to review our rules listed here.)
Roleplay. As stated before in my Introduction, RP is a big reason for why i am here. I love RP. It is one of my most favorite things. And thus this is why said rule appeals to me.
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 the first 3 chapters of a novella I am in the process of writing for a different game.
PROLOGUE
The Awakening
He woke up to find himself being kicked in the sides. He was 18 then, back on crete. His name is Adrian Corte Vasquez. His family comes from a long line of corsairs. They have always lived this lifestyle and probably always will.
"Brother!! Brother wake up!!" Yelled Pablo, his brother of 10 years. "The outcasts have landed!!!! We need to get out of here!!! They are killing everybody!!"
"What?!!" Adrian sat up in anger and confusion. He quickly got dressed and grabbed his brothers arm. They ran out in the streets looking for somewhere to hide. They were both orphans, their parents were pilots for The Brotherhood, but were killed in an attack when they were young. they quickly learned how to fend for themselves, a skill that would come in handy in Adrian's future as a pilot.
They ran into the woods near their home. They could hear the gunfire in the distance. Then they saw him. Standing in front of him was an outcast. He was smirking and staring at Adrian evilly. He turned tail and ran in the opposite direction. Then he heard it. The sound horrifies him to this day. It was the sound of the outcast weapon firing. Suddenly Pablo fell to the ground. Adrian didn't know it until he felt the weight of him dragging beneath him. Adrian turned around to see him limp. At that sight Adrian dropped to his knees and yelled his name and cried. That was the second time Adrian had ever cried in his entire life. The outcast approached him slowly, laughing as he did. But then as Adrian looked up he saw him fall to the ground. Adrian looked over and 3 corsairs ran towards him. At that point of time Adrian was scared, so he backed up into a tree. "Please.... Dont hurt me...." he pleaded.
They came nearer. "No need to fear us child.... we are your friends.... we will protect you."
Adrian was still scared so he yelled "Prove it!!" Then one of them came forward. "I was a friend of your fathers....." He looked down. "He was a good man, a good pilot." Adrian looked up. "What was his name!!!" He yelled at him.
"Bernardo Adrian Vasquez" he said looking Adrian straight in the eye. Adrian looked at him in shock. He was telling the truth. He extended an arm out to him. "Come on.... we need to get out of here." Adrian took his hand and they ran.
CHAPTER ONE
The Truth
Adrian woke up in a dark room. His eyes strained to see anything. Suddenly someone came and turned on the lights. Adrian was immediately blinded from the brightness.
Once Adrian could see again he looked up. It was the man who had saved his life. He approached Adrian with a tray of food.
"You are awake I see." he said placing the tray down next to him.
"I dont think I caught your name yesterday sir." said Adrian.
"Ah.... yes.... I was caught up so much in surviving there wasnt time." He extended his hand. "Name's Costello.
I am one of the Brotherhood elders. I fought with your father back when we were young." he said.
"My father....." Adrian said thinking, trying to remember his face. "What was he like?" he said "It has been so long i cant remember." Adrian said looking down.
"He was a fine young man." said Costello. "He was always quick in a firefight. Never once did i ever hear of him getting a scratch on his titan..... that is until that fateful day." He said looking away.
"What happened to him?" Adrian asked with a tear in his eye.
"He was surrounded. Two outcast bombers swooped in, and the next thing i remember was watching his shrapnel go flying through space. We tractored in his escape pod, but he was too badly injured and soon died on the hospital bed." He said sadly.
"Oh......." said Adrian. He couldn't say anything else. Millions of things were running through his mind.
"Speaking of your father....." he said walking over to a nightstand by the wall. He opened a drawer and threw Adrian a package. "He wanted you to have this when you turned 18." Adrian stared at the package for a while, wondering what it was. It was bulky, so he knew there was something big in there. Adrian opened it slowly and pulled out a peice of paper. This is what it read
"Dear son......
If you are reading this it means i never returned from my mission. I want you to continue on my legacy son. Become a corsair. Join the brotherhood. Avenge my death. Destroy all of the outcasts that you ever meet. Son this is our legacy. Protect Crete, no matter what the cost. It is our homeland, hold it close to your heart. Assuming he is still alive, which I assume he is, I have appointed Costello as your teacher. Learn from him, earn his trust, have him guide you in the ways of a corsair. I am counting you to avenge me son...."
He looked up at Costello. "You know of his request?" Adrian asked him. He nodded.
"I know of his final request. The question is... are you ready?" He asked Adrian with a smirk.
Adrian looked at the letter again and thought for a minute. Then he looked back up at him.
"Count me in" He said with a serious look on his face.
"In that case check the package again. There is something in there that you should cherish and use with pride.
Adrian turned the package and dumped out the remaining contents. Out fell a pair of aviator goggles. On the side emblazoned in gold was the name "Vasquez" There was a tear in Adrian's eye. He looked back up at Costello.
"Meet me in the hangar tomorrow at dawn." He said sternly. "Your training will start immediately."
CHAPTER TWO
The Training Begins
The next morning Adrian met Costello in the hangar. He was with three other people.
"Adrian i would like to introduce you to Centurion Sephardi, Centurion Globalo, and Elder Juan Lucendez. They will be helping with your training." They wave and Adrian nodded back at them in reply "Since this i only a training operation we will be using the simulator."
They led Adrian into a back room in the hangar which held and dozen or so cockpit shaped simulator pods. Costello led him to one of them an helped him get in it. He then got into the one next to him. The others got into simulators with their name inscribed on them. Adrian guessed that they all had customized control panels or something.
"Now Adrian" Costello said a video of him popping up on the HUD. "See that lever to your right? That is the throttle. Use that to speed up and slow down your craft. The button on the side of the throttle is cruise. NEVER EVER push that when you are in a firefight except if you are about to die an you need to escape very quickly. Othewise only use it to travel far distances quickly. Now see the triangular formation of buttons next to the throttle? Those are the dock turret an undock buttons. Then there is the pull lever to your left. That is the eject lever. And finally in front of you is the joystick complete with trigger and missile firing mechanism. That one is self explanatory."
Sephardi then spoke. "We will start by flying in a simple, beginner style V formation. This will enhance speed an maneuverability in flight. We will move into more complicated tactics and formations later." Sephardi pushed a combination of keys on his keypad and the simulators roared to life. Through his goggles Adrian saw the simulation of the planet of Crete. Complete with its magnificent skyscrapers and villages. He pressed the undock procedure button and took off from the landing pad. They exited out into space and Costello instructed them to fall into formation with him at the tip of the V. it took Adrian some time to stablilize his craft, but Sephardi told him that that was normal for a trainee like him.
They went through a few more training simulations until it was time for Adrian to learn how to dogfight. They taught taught what each of the missile command buttons were for, and how to dodge and attack. Adrian took out the fighters with ease. A few hours later they were complimenting him on how well he had learned in such a short period of time. But then it happened.
"Warning..... Warning" Blasted through the speakers in the hangar. "Outcast fighters spotted in Gamma. We repeat. Outcast fighters spotted in Gamma. Scramble fighters. I repeat. Scramble fighters."
"Well that is our que." Said Sephardi. "Lets see how much your training applies in true combat. Normally we would exempt your from a real life scenario this early in your training, but seeing how well your training has gone, we might need you out there."
They led him out into the hangar and helped him slide into one of the titans they had there. Adrian closed the cockpit window and slid his hands across the controls. The felt soft, kind of like leather. They gave him the signal to take off and he slipped his fathers goggles over his head and gave them a thumbs up. They then took of into the afternoon sky of Crete.
Is there anything else you would like to add, ask, or otherwise clarify?:
(This can be anything. Questions/Comments are always welcome.)
Nothing that i can think of at the moment.
