Name: Arzaruk Gorehorn
Class: Warrior.
Level: 100
Roleplaying experience.
I've roleplayed on Argent Dawn from late 2011. I started on Alliance and have mainly remained there, but after first main guild eventually disbanded, I gave a shot at Horde and multiple other races and see what the experience is like. I pretty much only roleplayed my human warrior until 2014. That's when I decided to begin working on other races. Through this I'm now very knowledgeble on lore and different races, including orcs. There has, of course, been a few stumblings aswell to which I now look back and realize what I should have done differently.
Short story.
Arzaruk is a bastard son born in captivity within an internment camp somewhere in Alterac mountains. His mother was one of the few females among several males, while his original father was nowhere to be seen. How an orc suffering from lethergy ever managed to impress anyone - hard to say. Or did pregnancy occur before captivity.
Regardless, Arzaruk lived a short while in captivity before being liberated by Thrall and fleeing with several other orcs. One had to be quick of their feet during those times, which led Arzaruk to seek companionship with wolves and eventually becoming a raider; preying on human settlements, pillaging for loot - or either to satisfy a different type of lust.
Being a Warsong orc and looking up to his Chieftain, Grom Hellscream, Arzaruk saw more potential in Thrall and did the right thing in following him - which turned out to be a wise decision, after witnessing how Grom gave himself to bloodlust. Despite of this, Arzaruk still considers him a hero; a true warrior and even possesses some similar traits to Grom himself.
There has been alot of speculation on how Arzaruk came to carry the name "Gorehorn." Similar to Gorehowl, when Arzaruk blows to his decorated horn of a beast - believed to be from Gronn bone - those who know better, know that terror is approaching. While the actual effect of this sound is debatable, there are few cases where Arzaruk has managed to cause sheer terror in his victims. What his real method is remains a secret only known to himself.
Hello Arzaruk!
Welcome to the forums, and thanks for your interest in the Red Blades! I've taken a look at your application and it looks fine to me, a good base for your character and something to work on. The only thing I'd like you to consider, seeing this is also something that'll come to pass in the upcoming IC interview, is what Arzaruk did in the more recent events, being the Cataclysm, Northrend campaigns, Pandaria, and now of course Draenor. A reason why he would seek out a new home in the tribe would be something to keep in mind as well, because that's sure to be asked!
If you keep a mind on those things, I'd approve your application and we can continue with the next step. Which would be a short IC interview, mainly for us to get to know you and your character a bit, and for you to be introduced into the tribe as well. You can contact anyone on the list here:

Just give a poke ingame and we'll see who's up for interviewing you. We are at the moment in Razor Hill, shouldn't you be able to find someone right away but want to visit anyway when there is RP going on, you're certainly welcome! RP usually starts in the early evenings.
Hope to see you soon ingame!
