Tell us something about your (role)playing experience:
My RP experience is kinda poor. I havent had a chance to participate in any form of Role Play (well, just casual, once per time in Swtor. But it was nothing serious, just for fun). Anyway, I always found role playing interesting and exciting - to be the part of the story and talk, behave like the character in the game. It gives you whole new experience. Of course, it doesnt have any sense to role play for yourself alone. You need good community of people who think the same way as you. Then and only then you can reach the full experience of Role Playing and be part of the lore, story (in this case Clan of Orcs. Fight for the Clan, Legacy, Honor. Cooperate with your your brothers. Lok Tar Ogar! Victory or Death). Indeed, I am really keen into role playing. I am willing to participate in Clan events, meetings, be part of the battles and fight against all foes who will dare to face us. As the culture of the Orcs says, Honor is everything. I will be there where my Clan will need me. I will be axe in the times of war, I will be spiritual guide in the time of peace. I will knee before the Warchief and swear him my loyalty. Lok-Regar no'gall!


And finally, please write a short story and/or IC introduction about your character:
Vorgosh Bloodfury was born fourteen years before the Dark Portal was firstly opened. He spent his childhood in the rough dusty world of Draenor. He doesnt have many memories on his father, since he left with Gul dan and the rest of the Horde. Only now he understands how his father and all the others were deceived by the dark warlock and shadow council. "Traitors of Horde" - Vorgosh used to call them. They were able to damn everything which make our culture unique and civilized. They exchange our freedom for blood thirstiness and savageness. He felt great satisfaction  when he heard that Doomhammer ended the existence of all these miserable - lusting for power - individuals.

While Vorgosh´s father was out there in the unknown world which Horde was trying to conquer, his mother told him everything about his legacy - that even his grandgrandfather was fearsome warrior and expert with the axe. His father´s last wish was, that little Vorgosh will follow the legacy of his family and will become warrior so his axe will bring glory and honor to his lineage. So it was done. He was trained under the guideance of local elder Orc -strangely he never told his name to Vorgosh. But months and years has passed and young promising Warrior was taughed in every aspect of battle. Very few of the Orcs remained in Draenor. It was no place for Vorgosh. It gave him no future, no honor. So he decided that he will join his father and Orgrim Doomhammer whom he admired. When the Warchief demanded a fresh troops of skilled warriors to reinforce orc numbers in the Azeroth (after Gul Dan abandoned his post in order to discover Tomb of Sargeras), Vorgosh didnt hesitate. He proved himself worthy and skilled enough to join the main army, marching across the Dark Portal. Sadly for Vorgosh, the battle ended sooner that it began. Orcish Horde was crushed by Human Aliance and many Orcs have fallen under the steel of the enemy. Blessing in disguise, he was captured and brought to Human internment camp. In the shadows of the cell, Vorgosh was thinking about many things - his mother, glorious battle which Horde was suppose to win, his father and warchief Doomahammer he never met. Are they alive? Or dead? Vorgosh lost himself in these thoughts. He didnt know how long he was inprisoned. However, one day a huge riot and chaos spreaded across the camp. Vorgosh heard voices, battle cries, clashing weapons in the courtyard. It was then when he discovered that group of Orcs ambushed the camp with the goal of release all orc prisons. The mighty Orc broke the chains which holded Vorgosh, threw him an Axe and commanded: "Fight for your freedom with us!..." Vorgosh had many questions but didnt have time for it, since he found himself in the centre of the battle. The fight was long and exhausting but they won it. It was first true battle for Vorgosh. He felt, like he was born for this. Finally, he could do the thing he mostly desired entire time.

However, this was not over for Vorgosh. At the end of the day - while surviving orcs were scouting the camp and counting causualties - the group found out a terrible new. Mighty and fearsome Warchief Orgrim Doomhammer was slain during the attack - he was lying on his back, flooded in his own blood. When Vorgosh found out this new, he fell on his knees, confused by the situation. He was full of anger, sadness, fear at the same time. His idol and Warchief - so close and so far at the same time. He never had a chance to speak with him. He was not given a chance to fight side by side with him...and yet, he died so Vorgosh and other Orcs can live and be free. A young Orc with a long black hair grabed the Orgrim´s war hammer and addresed everyone with a glorious speech, by means of which he organized Orcs, gave him strength and determination. It was then whenVorgosh met Thrall, son of Durotan for the first time.

On the travels with a new friend and leader, he found out a truth about his father. Based on Thrall´s informations and Doomhammer´s personal memoirs, his father was one of the closest servants and bodyguards of the dark warlock Gul Dan. Vorgosh couldnt believe it. He was devastated by the thoughts. Even if it was not confirmed, Vorgosh could feel, that the last place of his father´s rest...lies in Tomb of Sargeras.
In the following months, Vorgosh was fighting at the side of Thrall, travelling with him to Kalimdor, fighting against new threat of Burning Legion. He was gaining more and more experiences and became a true Warrior. The duty however, didnt allow him to go back to Draenor to visit his mother.

At the end of the threat, Thrall gave his eternal thanks to Vorgosh and other warriors who accompanied him during those tough times. The relative lack of duty allowed Vorgosh to return to Draenor to see his mother. Unfortunately for him, he didnt find her. The farm where they used to live was destroyed and buried by the time. Once again, Vorgosh was striked by sadness. He has noone anymore. No family, no wife - only the Horde. Horde has become his haven and sense of life. He devoted himself to the Orcish Horde. It is then when he returned to the Azeroth and was serving the Thrall. Vorgosh was there, where he was needed. One time, he was sent do Ashenvale to negotiate with Alliance troops, another day he was patrolling the Orcish outposts. All these years since the end of the Third War, battle, duty and responsibility became the main domain of Vorgosh´s life. Yet, he still missed something. He missed the feeling of closer membership. Despite the fact, he served Thrall for many years, he has never become a true official member of the Frostwolf Clan. One day, Vorgosh told this to his Warchief and he replied: "The Horde is in need of great Warriors." Said Thrall  "And there are many glorious Clans you can be part of, serving them and Horde in general. Seek them and bring glory and honor to the Horde!" Glory and Honor. Honor - thats something what my father had lack of. I will not follow his legacy. No. My destiny lies in honor. The path my father couldnt follow.
So Vorgosh listened to advise of his friend and leader...seeking Clan which would accept his experience and battle skills.
(to this day, Vorgosh´s honors Orgrimmar and goes there often to respect the memory of mighty Doomhammer.)

Hello there, Vorgosh! Don't be worried about your lack of experience -- we all begin somewhere, and we're really quite accommodating to beginners and veterans alike. 

Gave your app a read, and on the whole it's fine. There are two relatively minor discrepancies that I'd like you to address before approving the app -- you can do so by editing your application and bumping your thread to let us know you've done so!

The first is Vorgosh's age whenever he goes to fight for the Horde. From the time of Vorgosh's birth (3 BDP or Before the Dark Portal's Opening) to the time he is enlisted by Doomhammer (4 ADP), he'd be seven years old, and therefore a child. Gul'dan's Shadow Council -did- artifically age orcish children during the First War with shadow magic, so that's one option -- alternately your character could have been born around a decade earlier.

The second isn't so much an error as just something to consider -- from the end of the Third War (which I presume is the last paragraph of your app, given the Legion have just been defeated on Kalimdor) to the present day, there's been ten to fifteen years passed (Blizz's own timeline is slightly shaky). It might be an idea to consider what Vorgosh has done in the time since -- it doesn't have to be anything major, just an accounting for where he would have been in the intervening time.

Here's the Orcish Timeline for any finer points:
http://orcsoftheredblade.com/forum/index.php/topic,2438.0.html

If you can just update your app to reflect those two things, I'd consider it an easy acceptance! I'll give you details of the in-character interview after that point.

Okay, I changed it a little. I hope that this time it will be fine.
I am not an expert into Orc Lore...(especially the years of particular events is problem).
I hope you find my application interesting and adequate.
Let me know if something will not be in order.
Thanks.

Hello there again! Thanks for clarifying those points, and everything looks more or less fine now! Consider this application accepted, so simply poke an officer in-game to arrange your in-character interview -- Vorgosh can seek out the Red Blade tribe and introduce himself!

...For the Blood of the Tribe~!

[Sadok]

Interviewed and accepted! For the Blood of the Tribe!
