My role-playing experience:

Hello! I've been role-playing for roughly 6-7 years, mainly as Troll and Goblin characters. I started off on Darkmoon Faire in the Exodus Inquisition, and later moved to Argent Dawn to play in guilds like the Loa Atal Ai and the Zul Atal Alarion. I have also role-played as an Orc in the Ironblood Conquerors, though not for very long. Therefore, I am eager to keep learning.

A short character summary:

Rak'mal was born to the Blackrock Clan in the year -13. Like many other orcs born at this time, he grew up on the warpath, learning the harsh, barbaric ways of the blood-hungering orcs first hand. He often took part in the infighting among the orcish clans during his youth. When the Portal opened, Rak'mal had just entered his teens and had grown into a small, green beast, and would often make an effort to raid with his elders.

After the Second War was lost, the nineteen year old Rak'mal's bloodlust ended with the imprisonment of him and his comrades in labour camps. There, he waited for twelve years with his friends, all of them weakening from hunger and insatiable thirst for battle. It was in the twelweth year that Thrall's New Horde came and gave Rak'mal a new purpose: With his reignited passion for murder, he was to destroy any threat to Thrall's New Horde.

Because of that vow, Rak'mal found himself drawn to the brutish ways of Grom Hellscream, rather than Thrall's diplomatic approaches. It was merely by chance that he did not go to Ashenvale with the Warsong, for he was assigned to Thrall's forces. When Rak'mal received orders to slay his bloodcrazed, former brethren, he reluctantly agreed, but made an effort to not mortally wound them. Regardless of whether they were possessed by demonic rage, Rak'mal felt pain slaying the Warsong he had respected above all. He learned there that his mindset had been wrong, and that the reckless thirst for blood had led his brethren to attack him.

In the years following the end of the Third War, Rak'mal worked as a labourer with the construction of Orgrimmar. Once the great city was built, he took up work as a grunt. However, when the Dark Portal opened once more, he could not stand to sit by and watch. He fought in Outland, fracturing his skull in a battle with a fel guard. He had it stitched together using metal plates and was dubbed "Ironskull" as a joke by his comrades. However, when the skirmish to Northrend was at its peak, that very metal stitching saved Rak'mal's head from being pierced by a Scourge arrow. Thus, he took his nickname to be his surname.

In both the Cataclysm and during the events of Pandaria, Rak'mal wanted to join the Kor'kron. He had been inspired by Garrosh's leadership and strength throughout the conquests in Northrend. Forgetting all about his thoughts from the Third War, he even took Garrosh's side up until Garrosh started tampering with the magic of the Sha. Rak'mal remembered his demonic brethren and deserted during the Siege of Orgrimmar. He was imprisoned by the attacking forces, but treated kindly compared to what Garrosh would have done with his own prisoners. After the Siege was over, Rak'mal was released and had a period of contemplation.

After a long time of thinking and seeking advice while working as a labourer, he decided that he would go to Draenor and fight. However, he would no longer fight to sate his bloodlust: He would search for someone who could teach him what "honour" is.

Alright! That's it! It would seem I do not understand the meaning of "short", but I hope you enjoyed the read! Great to have you on AD!
Have a nice day still!

Hello Rakmal! Everything seems to look good to me, which just leaves you needing to poke someone who's online in order to sort out an IC interview! Feel free to poke anyone and they can point you in the right direction, or poke me!

[Kozgugore]

While Mozrogg isn't an elder viable to approve of applications (though he can give interviews if you happen to stumble into him!), your application does seem to be in order! One minor point you may want to keep in mind for your character would be the reason as to why your Blackrock orc didn't end up with the other clansmen in Blackrock mountain, but ended up imprisoned and followed Thrall rather than Rend Blackhand instead. Just details of course, so no big deal! Either way, feel free to contact any of our elders or senior ranked orc in-game for your IC interview!

[Mozrogg]

My bad, didn't realise! Ignore me *disappears*

[Rakmal]

Awesome! I'll take that point about the Blackrock into account! Thank you very much!
