Character Full-Name and Titles:: - Vrakai
Character Race and Class:: - Troll Warrior
Why does your character wish to join Blackguard? If the answer is "gold", tell us why gold matters to them.: - Vrakai wishes to join the Blackguard because he finds it hard fitting in anywhere, the crew of privateers he served with either died, went home to family or to prison when their ship sunk in a battle. Vrakai has learned of the Blackguards existance, what kind of a band they are and finds them suitable to his needs for a new ”crew”.
Describe your character's past. Where did they grow up? How did they learn their trade? What kind of work history do they have? Whatever you think is relevant to who they are – but aim for at least 3 full lines.: - Vrakai grew up on the Darkspear isles until he is about 13-14 years old, when the Murlocs attack under the Sea Witch. The Orcish Horde comes to their aid and he join their ships and sails for Kalimdor. Since right after the Founding of Durotar he served on a ship as a privateer, who at first served the Steamwheedle Cartel at fighting Pirates, but then later came to serve the Horde at attacking Alliance trade vessels under a black flag. Through this time, Vrakai learned to fight better with axe, sword and spear, and was taught how to smith weaponry when in port. Shortly after the Siege of Orgrimmar, the ship engaged in a battle with straggling Alliance forces not far fom the shores of Azshara, mistaking them for a lost trade vessel, regardless of the suprise attack, the Alliance sunk the ship. Few of the crew managed to swim to land in Azshara that day. Vrakai ventured to Rachet afterwards, to find a new crew to join.
Tell us about your character's skillset. What can they do that would be valuable to a mercenary company?: - Well Vrakai is a warrior, in soul and body, he's very experienced in the use of axes, swords and spears, but he has also gained some skill in blacksmithing, denting out breastplates but mostly skilled as a weaponsmith.
What are your character's feelings regarding the other Horde races?: - He is okay with them. He is more individual rather than racial.
Old enemies, old loyalties - does your character have them? Who with?: - What privateer wouldn't have any enemies? Though they remain mostly nameless to Vrakai, there are several thugs, pirates and other scoundrels that might want him dead. Actual characters and NPCs might very well come as the character developes.
Finally, write a quick paragraph, describing your character doing something typical to them. (This is to help us get a feel for how you play, so make it something you might type in RP.): - Vrakai listened intent to the conversation infront of him, casually glancing at his axe lying on his lap. The Quartermaster and the Captain were discussing wether or not to attack the ship. The captain was certain it was a trade vessel, but the Quartermaster begged to differ, it was definetly a war vessel. Vrakai looked over his shoulder at the crew preparing the cannons. He was not a cannoneer, no, he was the vanguard, first to board, last to leave, and he loved it. The smell of blood, the taste of iron in the air, mixed with the salt from the sea. He looked at his small throwing axes in his belt, he was ready.
Blackguard deals with mature themes and content. Please confirm you, the player, are over 18.: -I am 24.
Why do you wish to join Blackguard?: - I have a few friends who're in and often talk about how awesome the atmosphere is and how nice people are, and of course about the roleplay. I have also roleplayed with the Blackguards other members and I really like the people. Both IC and OOC.
Tell us a bit about yourself. Hobbies, job, talents, accomplishments, whatever you're comfortable sharing.: - I am a 24 year old dane. I am an educated Zoo keeper, working with mostly Nordic animals and with a fondness for owls! I spend a great deal of time reading and studying about nature conservation. Beside of my gaming of WoW and fascination of animals I do viking reenactment and have done so in 8 years or so, I also enjoy drawing with pen and pencil, rarely but occasionally I attend LARP, but other than that I try to spend some time with friends whenever possible.
To be completely honest with you lot, I think it's important to know I am in treatment for having a psychotic condition and depression, it might get a little more time consuming with time, but can't say for sure.
Tell us about your background in roleplay.: - Well, I started first as a larper 11 years ago, although I was not really a decent roleplayer til 8 years ago when I also started DnD Pen and Paper and learned how to actually roll my character and act. 5½ year ago I joined Steamweedle Cartel, first on my night elf Tawyn (who I hear some of you in here might remember), not my greatest character at first but after some retconning turned out okay. But then I went Horde and joined the Earthfury Clan with my shaman and then later became an officer in the Beastmaw Warband when it was created after the Earthfurys downfall.
Last notes: - I figured out how to make the text green! Woop woop! It's the wrong green, but still green!
