::: RP Details :::
Character Full Name & Surname: Norilsk Proudhammer
Character Age: 85
Any special character traits: Bipolar temper. At times reckless and destructive and at other times contemplative and cautious to the extreme.
Any races / classes / factions your character hates or is “at war” with? (eg. Warlocks): Wary of trolls. Undead is not a race - it's an abomination.
Brief Character History: Born in the Hinterlands, Wildhammer clan. Did not take part in the Three Wars. Raised a family and lost it in a scourge raid. Subsequently left Aerie Peak and at the return of the Burning Legion went into Outland and has been adventuring since, occasionally as a mercenary.
How knowledgeable of the Warcraft lore are you?:
By roleplayer standards I guess I have basic lore knowledge. I've played the series since Warcraft: Orcs and Humans and have been paying reasonable attention to text and cinematics. Having played around 20-30 characters however I must confess it was a long time since I actually read quest descriptions. I have no idea what Anduin Wrynn was up to between playing hide and seek in Stormwind Castle and showing up as an adolescent priest in Pandaria.
Your favourite WoW area, and why?
I don't have favourites. I can tell you what areas I think have the best music, the most interesting quests and lore, certain places I like to hang out, but I've never compiled any list... When pushed I'll say Booty Bay because it has things I like - goblins, a unique look, pirates, RP locales, some action, and it feels like a living breathing town outside of the capitals, which is something WoW is sorely lacking.
Your fondest RP moment that you remember:
Leading an expedition of explorers to Bloodmyst Isle just after TBC release. It was fun creating something even if most of it was improvised.
Why did you choose Rhyme & Punishment?
It's been around for a while and I think it's the only general RP guild I know of. Most ads I've seen are for guilds that emulate a specific brotherhood, coven, alliance, army or only accepts certain races etc.
Why do you think that we should invite you as a Guild Member?
Honestly, you shouldn't. I'd never want to join a guild with such low standards as to accept me as a member. If you did accept me you would find that I'm every bit as friendly, mature and helpful as I hope and expect all of you to be.
Will you be willing to attend guild meetings?: Yes
Will you be willing to attend guild RP events?: Yes
