Character Full Name & Surname: Sigmard Silverwind
Character Age: 25
Any special character traits: Sigmard has a slight dwarven edge on his Westfall accent. His build is that of a brawler, one that's seen it's fair share of punishment over the years.
Any races / classes / factions your character hates or is "at war" with? (eg. Warlocks): Severe hatred of the Defias Brotherhood.
Brief Character History: Born and raised in Westfall, Sigmard's father was a farmer and a retired soldier. Inspired by his father's stories, Sigmard quickly learned the basics of combat. Barely reaching adulthood, Sigmard's family were attacked by the Defias in their home, both parents died while trying to hold off the Defias, as Sigmard and his younger sister fled towards Stormwind. They were ambushed on route, so Sigmard let his sister flee as he fought them off. Severely injured during the fight, he staggered his way towards Stormwind, finally collapsing in sight of the gate. His sister never made it to Stormwind.
In the few years that followed, Sigmard met a dwarf called Gromnar and became best friends. They soon joined a dwarven mercenary company and spent the next few years enjoying a lot of success with his new dwarven (and one gnomish) friends. It all came to an end when the final job they were hired to fight demons that had started pouring through the Dark Portal. Soon afterwards, while drowning his sorrows out in a Stormwind Tavern, he was captured by the Defias. Spent the next 4 and a half years in a mine as a slave, occasionally forced to fight any traitors the Defias had. During the chaos of the Cataclysm, he managed to fight and escape the Defias, along with the rest of the slaves, and make his way back to Stormwind, only to find almost everything has changed. Feeling a bit lost, he comes across a recruitment poster with some of the worst handwriting he's ever seen...
How knowledgeable of the Warcraft lore are you?: So-and-So. Wanting to learn more about Warcraft lore but in an RP style wherever possible.
Your favourite WoW area, and why?: Winterspring for it's serene yet wild atomosphere. Azshara had better fishing though, at least until the goblins showed up.
Your fondest RP moment that you remember: My fondest moment happens to also be one of the strangest and daftest, not to mention incidental. A gnome rogue had been causing havoc with the Stormwind City Guard (RP guild on Earthern Ring, I imagine all RP servers have one though). A huge stake-out was planned to trap her within the mage district, but the crafty gnome managed to escape. Completely oblivious to this fact at the time, I was heading into the mage district for a drink after a recent fishing trip when I ran into this gnome. She drew her weapons, so I did what came naturally... I threw a 103lb Mightfish onto her. Pinned by the huge weight of fish, the guard managed to turn up a few minutes later to see a gnome trapped under a giant fish with me sitting on top of it. She kept the fish for playing along and being such a good sport. I also heard she escaped a few days later. You really can't keep a good gnome down (except with a giant fish).
Why did you choose Rhyme & Punishment?: After hearing that Moonglade is a great server for RP, I started my character here. But knowing no one here, I figured I needed a fun, friendly guild to help me get started. With your forum recruitment poster having such awful handwriting and a crudely drawn smiley face on, I believe I would have a lot of fun here. Hopefully getting to know me, you will too!
Why do you think that we should invite you as a Guild Member?: I'm friendly, helpful and honest individual who is willing to learn. I've also been told I have a great sense of humour, although my appetite for bad puns is insatiable.
Will you be willing to attend guild meetings?: Yes
Will you be willing to attend guild RP events?: Yes
Any thoughts or questions you want to ask the guild?: One question; are whispers considered OOC or IC?
As for the note about amount of playtime: I currently work in a Microbrewery/Pub and as such there will be times when it seems like I'm barely on at all, but other times I might seem to be always on. This entirely depends on how much help is needed on the pub front, or demand for extra beer (I mostly work in the brewery side), as well as the usual hobbies and friends, etc.
Thanks for listening! Or reading? Probably reading. *nods* Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
