Title: Application: Grishug
Post by: Grishug on July 01, 2013, 12:31:54 AM
Details of your Orc character:
Name: Grishug
Class: Shaman
Level: 1


Tell us something about your (role)playing experience:
Hi there! Well i started roleplaying in December 2000 back in Ultima Online where i was a member of The Severed Headz Orcs, an offshoot roleplaying guild of Shadowclan (they wernt an official offshoot but did use shadowclans rules). Between 2000 and 2008 i roleplayed mainly in Ultima Online on the roleplaying community on Europa shard (server). I then, due to Ultima getting more and more empty, moved to Lotro where i roleplayed in firstly a Dwarven guild for around 2 years then in a Human guild for the next few years which brings us to this point. I recently left Lotro after many years in the game because it is also getting empty there. It seems WoW is the only game that remains forever active so here i am! I also roleplay D+D paper and pen and play warhammer table games which is kind of like roleplaying. I am 33, friendly and am a fair player and can follow any rules without feeling the need to question them.

And finally, please write a short story and/or IC introduction about your character:
Some tips for this; Who is your character, what does he/she want, what has he/she done, ect.

Grishug is an old Orc and his days of the lust for battle are long behind him. Grishug has for many years practiced the ways of the shaman. His days are spent in ritual and he can often be found mixing potions or collecting herbs. That is not to say that Grishug cannot be voracious and brutal when it is called for or if his honour is questioned. However, Grishug in unlike the general Orc in that he would rather focus on the spiritual than the physical. Through his shamanism he channels a magical ability to heal his fellow Orcs, that is, when he can keep up with them! Grishug really has seen better days with regards to his health but let it never be said that he does not try!

Hello there Grishug!
A very nice description of your orcs personality, but the part about the background is a bit short!
Since he is an old orc, it might be worth-while to take a look at our time-line
( http://orcsoftheredblade.com/forum/index.php?topic=2438.0 (We're approximately in year 34) and get an average idea of how old he is. For example, should he be over 34 years old, then he'd be born on the orcs home world of Dreanor!
You should also think about what clan your orc is from, some of the major clans around are the Warsong clan and the Frostwolves, though there are plenty of others as well!

If you need help with figuring out a quick background story, feel free to poke me or one of our orcs and see if anyone has time and wants to help you out with some of the lore.

With that said, when you have made some thoughts on these things and got a vague idea pinned down about your orcs past, poke an orc and be directed towards an officer who can give you an IC interview!

Looking forwards to seeing you ingame
Your friendly local Chieftain
