Tell us something about your (role)playing experience:I've been playing the game on-and-off since release, what keeps me coming back is the world, the lore and the RP.
So I have been jumping around from server to server the last couple of years, not finding a place to settle, though I feel like staying here
And finally, please write a short story and/or IC introduction about your character:Born on Draenor a few years before the First War, Orkos was too young to remember any of the First War and never saw much combat during the Second War.
Orkos was decided to begin training as a Warlock at a young age, but as time went on he noticed the number of Warlocks around him began dropping and a more hostile attitude towards him from the other orcs.
Orkos made a decision he knew he would feel for the rest of his life, one night near the end of the Second War, Orkos collected as many tomes and scrolls he could find and fled from the camp. Still just a kid and was raised as a Warlock and not a Warrior, Orkos struggled to just survive in the wild. But he felt he had to flee from his fellow Orcs, he had heard whispers in the corners that the others blamed the Warlocks for loosing battles against the Alliance. He had even heard a few cautiously planning and plotting against the Warlocks, getting rid of them for good.
As years passed Orkos studied the scrolls and tomes he had stolen from the camp when he fled and any other texts he could get his hands on, increasing his abilities and potential in the darker arts, he found himself almost starving to death on multiple occasions as he was consumed in his studies. When the Third War broke out Orkos was quick to see the signs and fled from the grasp of the Scourge. Once again he felt a sting in his heart as he betrayed his senses as an Orc, fleeing from battle, but he knew he could only survive by keeping a distance to the swarm of undead.
After once again spending an entire war in hiding, Orkos found himself in Hammerfall in Arathi Highlands. There he kept his abilities hidden in the day, where he worked as a butcher, and continued his training under cover of the night. While Orkos kept mostly to himself, he did see the advantages of living near other Orcs, as traders would periodically come by and Orkos would buy books, tomes and scrolls with the money he made as a butcher.
Orkos finally returned to the Horde proper after the Cataclysm shattered the world, he knew Warlocks were more accepted in the Horde and he felt his heart longing for real combat and honor, he couldn't spend the rest of his days working as a butcher in Hammerfall. Another part of him longed for acceptance by other Orcs, just regular interaction, he had never really spoken freely, always avoiding as much contact as possible.
He feels confident in his abilities as a Warlock but not confident in his abilities as an Orc, he appears to always be guarded and cautious when interacting with others.
A personal goal of his is to just be part of the Horde, standing side by side with his fellows Orcs.
OOC: Please don't be too harsh on me
I've never been good at writing this application-y stuff...
