A somewhat tatty looking piece of parchment is put forward, the writing on it a strange scrawl, clearly of one unused to writing to any large degree, but still with a great deal of meticulous care put into amending and re-writing erroneous or awkward sounding phrases. Some of the writing in places is clearly of a different hand, as if certain words were dictated due to their difficulty, it reads as follows.
Greetings, to whomever this letter reaches. I write to the fair peoples of this guild with no high hopes of acceptance. That is not to say that I for a moment doubt your fine guilds integrity, but alas, my somewhat questionable decendants often put me in a less than favourable standing amongst my fellow alliance members. Should you feel that I would be a liability unto your good name, feel free to disreguard this letter, I will not be offended and wish you well.
I will be honest with you from the outset, according to a few reliable sources, I am not a typical Kaldorei. So many enjoy reminding me that not even other druids of the cenarion circle, so welcoming to me despite my unusual aspects, have such unusual..dentistry. Let me be frank, there are suspicions that my father was a Troll. To be more specific, a Troll named Kifo. It is from him that I take my last name, Blu'tooth. I am aware that there is a great deal of unease associated with the largely barbaric Trolls and I have been told by many that my somewhat slower than average common sense can be traced back to my father's blood. I beg to differ, as from what I hear, he was a shaman of his people of some reknown..but I digress.
Placing aside the question of my species, I feel I ought to recount where I have come from. I grew up for the first few years of my life with my Kaldorei mother, one of the few who had left her native shores of darnassus and settled alongside the peoples of goldshire, a sentiel by trade and one who loved to travel. Despite her open mindedness, she opted to leave me with a local orphanage when my pseudo tusks decided to grow in. I do not blame her in the least. Once I was old enough to leave the orphanage I made my living around Stormwind, doing the odd jobs that my naturally muscular build leant itself to, along the way meeting my best friend, Crou, and encountering a most kindly Kaldorei, a man who was to become my mentor and to teach me the ways of druidic learning. He did not judge me for my bloodline but instead saw in my Trollish lineage an opportunity to get in touch with a more feral aspect of the teachings of the great Shan'do.
It is at this point where I am today, still devoutly learning the feral arts of the druidic teachings, my sole aim, to earn myself the title of a true Kaldorei and respect amongst my peers. Although, despite this I have not forgotten that which makes up half of who I am, I still seek to learn more of the peoples of my father and am currently growing fluent in the Zandali language and the language of the Orcs. I seek to join your guild in order to learn further from the histories and kindnesses of others. Thank you for taking the time to read my application, may nature always smile upon you.
Signed, Zulmeka Blu'tooth. (A pawprint marks beneath)
Tucked in neatly with the letter is a small portrait, hand sketched, assumedly of the individual being referred to in the letter. He looks pretty happy in it, but most noticable is his larger than average nose and his upper canines which jut somewhat in a semblance of tusks, he has black horns, typical of those found on proficient shapeshifter druids

Right-o, that's that out of the way, I'd just like to say, about the half-troll thing, I only decided upon it after a great deal of consideration. I personally believe that Trolls and the Kaldorei share a common ancestor of sorts or that one of them foreran the other, so I made the assumption that it'd be possible for the two of them, under the right conditions to have a kid. Hell, the draenei and orcs can canonically interbreed and they neither originate from the same planet, nor share so many common traits. Still, I am aware that some would be a bit leery about this fact in my character and for this reason, I would not be hurt if I am declined on that basis. Just thought I'd get my reasoning out there.
Well, about me, I am a 20 year old female literature student living in Scotland, I draw and rp in my spare time and play far more warcraft than is healthy. I've been part of moonglade since it started out under various character names. I was known as Baneful originally, then Kifo and most recently Repent. All of my characters tie into one another and Zul is no different, I can also interpret Orcish for other people via my /other/ druid (horde this time) who I can have simultaneously logged at the same time as Zul (what use that is, I'll never know)
I comandeered my brother's druid Brairthorn (what are brothers for after all? ;D) , renamed him Zul'meka to suit his backstory and now use him for PvP and roleplaying purposes. After attending the recent Steamwheedle Faire from the horde side I realised that a great deal of the rp action is on the other side of the fence so to speak, and that I'd been aware of R and P for a very long time. So I figured, can't hurt to apply, right? So, here I am.
My deepest apologies for being TL;DR about this app, but I figured, hell, if I'm going to do it, might as well do it right.
