Tell us something about your (role)playing experience:
Well I've role-played in World of Warcraft for two years now over on the alliance side (since around the start of Mists of Pandaria) as a human DK and i wanted to enjoy RP from a perspective of another race and a entirely new setting to keep me immersed within the game.  

And finally, please write a short story and/or IC introduction about your character:
Drethen Was born into the Warsong Clan, a couple of years after the first war began. His Father and Mother both Loyal warriors to the Warsong Clan but nothing of real note in skills of being a warriors, Which during the war with so many orcs gaining glory had Drethen's Parents and Drethen himself moved further away from the center of clan where the Chieftain Grommash Hellscream Lay. This had made the bloodfang name lose a lot of prestige within the clan and further disgraced his fathers name. A couple of months before the Assault on Stormwind City, His father before going off to join in the sacking of stormwind city told Drethen about his grandfather the one who had been first named Bloodfang.. Drethen too young to understand still held this as the only memory he could recall of his parents in later life - The story goes that Drethen's grandfather Gor'thuk Bloodfang during his Om'riggor managed singlehandedly with his teeth rip into the throat of a mighty Talbuk and after he had painted his face with the blood of the Talbuk he had killed, he noticed that some of blood completely bleached his fang with the colour of the blood - Thus the name bloodfang was created and Gor'thuk's son (Drethen father) tried to gain his own accomplishments but people simply called him bloodfang.

(Drethen recalled this memory even in his later years and regards this as only clear memory of his father.)

His Father Was injured during the sacking even though the injury a minor one he refused to see the clan's shaman and shrugged it off days later Drethen's father became frail due to wound festering and indirectly due to him wanting to fight to gain glory, disgraced the family's name even more by not being able to hold an axe and being committed to his bed which is where he died weeks later... this left Drethen's mother to raise her boy on her own.

Drethen remembers little of his earlier childhood other than alot of travelling. The Horde lost the second war and the warsong clan had been forced into hiding in lordaeron's wilds this is where the warsong clan survived.. and drethen began his training. At the age of six Drethen had been taught the basics of Combat and to be honourable while fighting this was learned to him by his mother but at the age of 13 Drethen wanted to train harder and learn more and sought it out with an experienced Wolf rider named Dutar who trained him more advanced combat and also to embrace his rage (bloodlust) Dutar had become a mentor and a second father to Drethen but at the start of their relationship Dutar tried to get rid of him but later decided to help the young orc due to his constant and unrelenting offers.. this is where drethen learned some of most important lessons about how to become a great and a honorable warrior but this not only a place where he learned combat he learned important life lessons about things such as honour and mercy can become a weakness and weakness is not tolerated within the Warsong. Drethen after hearing the Warsong does not tolerate weakness became obsessed with stamping out all emotions such as grief and depression about how his father died and the disgrace and put that to fuel his bloodlust which ended up by the end of his training made him a strong warrior but made him give into the bloodlust entirely.. the environment the Warsong lived on was very harsh which looked like the ending of clan because they had become so diminished during the wars.

Two years later - Thrall, son of Durotan reformed the horde and free'd alot of the defeated orcs from captivity in the interment camps, Drethen was 15 he had not yet passed his Om'riggor and had not yet become a man his mother forbid him to help fight despite his protests. Another two years later and the third war began Drethen who was 17 had travelled with the rest of the horde to the Ancient Continent of Kalimdor to a barren desert of which would be called Durotar although over the way Drethen's Mother died due to illness which caused Drethen to feel as he felt when he was younger.. grief and depression it took him a while too recover and he wanted to fight for the horde and the warsong and bring glory to his name but at the time it took for him to recover Grom Hellscream was already in ashen vale fighting the night elves for lumber.. Displeased at that ... he couldn't prove himself once again stayed with the rest of the horde. Drethen due to bloodlust was easily angered because during is grief and depression he embraced it thought this would change Once mannoroth was slain he started to feel haze lifting and was not so impatient and angry all the time and further became patient and diligent when he continued his training.

When Admiral Proudmoore arrives to attack the horde in a series of battles.. Drethen (19) wants to join but he wants to Honor Orc tradition despite whats happened since all that has happened to the clans and the orcs as a whole. He wanted to complete his Om'riggor and so went out into the expanse of the deserts of durotar with nothing but a spear and nothing else... Drethen wanted to be worthy of his Clan and the new horde and to most of all to gain the mantle of the name Bloodfang and so tracked a mighty boar for days only living cactus's around durotar for 4 days until he found the den of the Might boar.. Drethen wanted to earn his name the same his grandfather earned his by ripping out the throat so he could be worthy of the name Bloodfang.. His plan was simple yet bold to face the boar with just his hands instead of the spear... Drethen entered the den of the boar and intimidately pounced on Drethen overpowering him.. Drethen not expecting the boar to be this strong managed to kill it the same way his grandfather did he painted his face with the blood of the animal and returned to orgrimmar although this Om'riggor was not legitimate due to there being Hardly any Shamans left Drethen did to prove himself worthy of his grandfathers name.

Many years later the dark portal re-opened which Drethen an experienced Warrior of the age of 24 who seen many battles since his unofficial Om'riggor. Drethen embarked with horde forces though he thought of the other races other than the orcs Not truly apart of horde and Weak. Drethen Who would meet his War-Wolf a life time companion..Urag on this planet.. Drethen further helped the horde on Outland... Drethen pondered when he arrived on Outland Was this what had become of my Homeworld? and couldn't remember what it looked like before its destruction which made him curious but affirmed him that Azeroth was now his homeworld.

When the Lich king threatened all life he answered the call and joined the new Warsong Clan Leader Garrosh Hellscream in his offensive into Northrend and Very loyal to Garrosh due to him being Warsong and Very good Military Commander.

After the lich-king had been defeated all drethen wanted to do was settle down even though he was a warrior at heart and born a warsong his views started to change since the horde had been reformed by thrall he consider the other races Strong and Fierce which has changed from his other views in his earlier years and even consider them his brethren.
Garrosh then was appointed War-chief of the horde due but even though he should be fiercely proud that a Warsong is now Warchief he doesn't feel anything than how thrall was Warchief.. this is when Drethen consider himself more towards an orc of the horde rather than a orc of the warsong even though he is proud of his heritage it doesn't change the way he feels about it.

A new continent is found. It is called Pandaria.. The warchief Garrosh wishes to paint the new continent red with the blood of alliance and deploys all forces to there Drethen Falls in line as one of the infantry man for the campaign and joins in with many of the battles though at the end of the campaigns across pandaria, Garrosh commits genocide on the other races of the horde and a rebellion starts after Vol'jin is nearly assassinated.. During this Drethen becomes overcome with Inner-Conflict Thinking he can't join Garrosh he would destroy all the other races just like he did theramore and fragment the horde if he wins but i.. can't join the rebellion to slay my brothers in their own homes... Drethen cannot choose and so becomes saddened and wonders around kalimdor until the rebellion is finished which he considered himself cowardly for not joining in but not only that during his travels he knew the rebellion was the right thing but in his heart is one goal was to bring glory to the warsong and his name... but had he joined it would of been like losing is whole family all over again but this time he would be helping kill them...

After Garroshes defeat and the iron horde invades Drethen tired with fighting but will if he has too the once brash orc looking for Glory and Warfare has now become more patient with his Age and now thinks about how he can resolve a situation without the use of violence.

(Note: The story will be a bit messed up in some areas aswell as drethen's age i think and thank you for reading, Just as a quick edit during his unofficial Om'riggor after he killed the boar he now wears the animals bones as a necklace as is a warsong custom.)

Hello Drethen and Welcome to the forum.
Your application looks good, although it could use some more commas and fulls stops. with that said your have a good basis for your character to build from and cover a lot of the things we like to see in applications, until thing really missing is why your orc would be seeking out the Redblade Tribe, and why he would be interested in joining them. As for your age. you say a couple of years into the 1st war that he were born. that would be around year three for it to go along with your orc being 24 at the opening of the gates to outland. you seem to have a good idea of the timeline, so I just wanted to point it out. And your orc would then at this time be around 32 or 33 years old, not exactly as old as you make him sound . But as I said you have most things covered, so I am gonna go ahead and Accept your Application. now you just need to do the Ic interview. We are currently lurking around Rangari Refuge in Tanaan. To get an Ic interview, you can contact any officers on this link: http://orcsoftheredblade.com/forum/index.php?topic=2440.0 to get your interview. I hope to see you ingame soon.
