Name: Fatgrams
Class: Warrior
Level: 100


Tell us something about your (role)playing experience:
I have Roleplayed for many years through a variety of different games, Rift, ArcheAge, Aion, and of course WoW. In WoW I have only ever roleplayed as an Alliance character, although a few years ago (Pre-wrath) I dipped a little into Troll Roleplay for a while. This was interesting.
I joined the horde side in wod yesterday on the 18th and have been speaking with a few of the guys on AD whom are familiar with the Horde RP guilds. That's how I've ended up here! I feel this guild would be good for me to settle in with, and to get use to the different styles of RP horde has to offer.

And finally, please write a short story and/or IC introduction about your character:
Some tips for this; Who is your character, what does he/she want, what has he/she done, ect.

Bourl Tuskmaw. Seeing as this is my first ever Orc character I have just put together a brief short-story and who he is, and how he came to be a Tuskmaw.

Raised in the Crossroads in the Barrens.
Been a good fighter ever since he was young, being chucked into various cage fights with either other people or sometimes animals.
Age is 38.
Tuskmaw: When in the cage with 3 sabertooth cats, his blade was knocked from his hand after killing the first cat, he pulled a Tusk from the dead cat and used that to kill the other 2 cats. After this he wasn't just Bourl, he was Bourl Tuskmaw.
Lived in the Barrens his entire life, until now, he has travelled to Orgrimmar in search of a different style of work. He is strong, good with his hands, a good fighter and a good speaker.

Just a lore issue, if he's that old he can't have been born on Azeroth since it's before the opening of the Dark Portal.

Edit://maybe just born on Azeroth, but still. Would have been in the Eastern Kingdoms around the Dark Portal in either case.

Alright, sorry. It's my first ever Orc for Roleplay so still learning the gists of it all.

[fatgrams]

Will you contact me ingame?

We're going to look at this closer later tonight. Once we've made a decision we'll reply here.

Sorry for the time to the reply.
We had a short discussion about your application, and have a few things to say.
First of all, the ingame name 'fatgrams' doesn't fit with the server rules about RP names, as such we're unable to accept that into the guild either.
If you're still interested in joining us, we reccomend either a namechange or if you don't want to spend real money, rerolling.
We fully understand that you may be unhappy with this, but not having a completely OOC name, that doesn't fit the world at all on your character just goes against both the server rules, and our own.

If you're still interested in joining us though, there's as pointed out a timeline problem with the background. Since you're new to RPing an orc, I suggest having a look at the timeline to have an idea on what is possible. Orcs didn't get to Kalimdor until 15-16 years ago, if your character is 38 he'd have to be born on original Draenor (It's currently year 35-36 or so since the Dark Portal first opened).

We also have a resource with some orcish lore that might help you if you want to learn more about orcs.

Lastly we'd also like to know a little more about your character, the IC introduction of him is very brief. Some things you might want to consider is what clan is he from? Does he have any living family? How did he come to hear about the Red Blades, and why does he want to join us?

I hope you're not discouraged by our reply, and we'll be keeping an eye on this thread for any replies!
