Thank you!

My Battletag is RossGiles#1134, and I should be online throughout tommorow. Some casual RP does sound pretty good, although I wouldn't want to intrude on any events you might already have planned.

Looking forward to meeting the Orcs of the Red Blade!

Updated!
Thanks for the quick reply, and I apologize if I run into any mistakes within Orcish lore.

Name: Gurnak Rimefury
Class: Death Knight
Level: 100


Tell us something about your (role)playing experience:
I've been roleplaying for the past 2-3 years, and have fallen in love with the story surrounding Warcraft. Most of my time has been spent on this character, my Death Knight; however I've recently race-changed to the Horde as I grew tired of being a Dwarf. So far I'm loving the Orc I have managed to construct, both in story and appearance!


And finally, please write a short story and/or IC introduction about your character:
Victory or death.
A common phrase heard within the Horde, one which Gurnak took to the grave with him.
However, this orcish shaman wasn't allowed the peace of death, and was pulled from the dirt and crafted into a Death Knight at the command of Arthas Menethil. Months passed, and with the fall of the Lich King, Gurnak Rimefury has finally returned to the Horde, though without the elements he once cherished or the title which defined him.

Edit:
How he died, where and why -- was it fighting the Scourge, for instance?
Gurnak travelled to the Plaguelands due to a vision he received when arriving at Grom'gol Base Camp in the Eastern Kingdoms. The journey was long and incredibly harsh on the old Orc, and before he even saw Light's Hope, he collapsed and succumbed to the land. Shortly before the massacre surrounding the Scarlet Enclave, Gurnak's body was retrieved by the Scourge roaming the Plaguelands, and carried to Acherus.

Where he was born, and what Clan ties he might have, if any. If he is an older orc, he may have been born on Draenor. If he was much younger, he may have been born in the human's internment camps.
Born within the star-touched Shadowmoon Valley, Gurnak was exposed to tradition the moment he opened his eyes, following the path of shamanism throughout his early years.

What sort of personality and beliefs did he have during life, and how did this change upon his undeath?
Gurnak was often considered too optimistic by his friends and family, constantly providing insightful comments and heart-warming gifts. He was always hopeful about the future.

However, after months of enduring the burden of undeath, Gurnak has transformed into a paranoid and dangerous individual. Unable to comprehend past events, he refuses to talk about the past, and will only offer advice when it is demanded.

And finally, it might be an idea to dwell upon what Gurnak might have been up to in the years after Arthas' fall. What, for instance, would his new purpose be now that the Lich King has fallen? And why would he want to join the Red Blade tribe?
With the fall of the Lich King, Gurnak has returned to the Horde with a better understanding of his undeath, and intends to use it as a gift rather than a burden. Since the Cataclysm, he has kept the roads near Light's Hope Chapel clear of ghouls and gargoyles, however the constant state of solitude isn't healthy for his mind; Gurnak yearns for the feeling of companionship in the heat of battle.
