Marloran's Application [Accepted]

[Marl]

The character you wish to join on:



Marloran - currently 75 Warrior (Alt)




Character's public RP profile



Marloran is tall well built male, he tends to wear armor during combat and only during combat whenever it is required, therefore he is fairly tactical about when he carries is armor around with him. He tends to be quite polite and peaceful around people and during this conversations has a surprising amount of patience given his chosen way of life. 

As for personality publicly it would be probably known that Marloran is all for his blade serving others attitude.


RP experience


I've been role-playing for eight or so years on WoW, I've also picked up some role-playing on SWTOR as-well.



Why you want to join the Guardians?


The guardians were on my previous realm when I was active there, I had joined on this very same character however I was unable to be as active as I wanted to be. However I'm attempting to find a home on Argent Dawn and I believe with such a community here as this guild has, I believe I will be able to fit in as a person and enjoy the stories that can be created among the character.





Why does your character want to be a Guardian?


Marloran was previously with the guardians and wanted to be with them because he believed he had some to offer but of course in return he believed he and something to learn along the way regardless of how much he has learned he believes by being around those much older than him he will be able to experience a more understanding of whats actually going on around him. Learning even more patience than now.




When do you usually play?


I'm around a lot at the moment I have times when I burn out and take a short break but I am not long back, I tend to have different characters in different guilds and actually play the game too. I also have my own guild which I spend time doing and I also do other things on other games. I won't sit here and promise times all I'll say is I'll be on as much as I can.



What makes RP fun for you?


Hmmm I really enjoy being involved with a story/creating a story for people to be involved with. Personally don't like this whole "Hi i'm special" attitude. 



What makes RP NOT fun for you?


People unwilling to be reasonable with their role-playing by this I mean just being all "Im amazing" I can't be bothered with that, Metagaming since it just really ruins the story and finally god-emoting/power-emoting. I don't mind a good emote fight but really when its just "dodges" and no effort put into your emoting then well. Meh.


Edit:
 Answer as your character - write a brief piece, like you would an emote, of your character doing something common to them. A daily routine, a little personal ritual, something of that sort:

*As soon as Marloran awakes in the morning he sits up looking up the sky taking several deep breathes before stretching. Marloran looks over his campsite for a moment before tidying it up, afterwards Marloran begins his wake up routine of doing press ups, sits ups and such to keep himself fit so to speak. Upon completing his morning routine, Marloran would go and find himself something to eat and drink.


Answer as your character - Why do you want to join the Guardians?

I wish to join the guardians because I believe I have something I can offer to the guardians as I believed so previously, things got held up as I explained before I took my leave previously. When we first met I believed I could learn something from the guardians perhaps to better myself no, to become better and improve myself I should say. We've all been through hardships in our life time and I know its not over. With that being said my blade is offered to the guardians, in return I only wish a place where I can be around those to which I can perhaps learn something from.

You missed two questions! Admittedly they're the new ones that aren't in the template, but there was a link in the info thread.

cenarionguardians.proboards.com/thread/12/joining-cenarion-guardians (the last two, in the "answer as your character" section)

They're only short - a chance for you to show us a little of how you write when in character.

"I wish to join the guardians because I believe I have something I can offer to the guardians as I believed so previously, things got held up as I explained before I took my leave previously. When we first met I believed I could learn something from the guardians perhaps to better myself no, to become better and improve myself I should say. We've all been through hardships in our life time and I know its not over. With that being said my blade is offered to the guardians, in return I only wish a place where I can be around those to which I can perhaps learn something from."

This "reason" seems incredibly wishy-washy and a fundamental misunderstanding of what the Guardians are and what they do.

From what I gather, Marloran wishes to better himself and grow as a person. That's all very well-and-good, but the Guardians are not a special group that organize life-changing TED Talks; they're a violent cell of religious zealots; they're a fringe-group at odds with the current status of night elf society which allows vile things such as magic users and undead to roam their lands freely; their duty is to ensure the Balance of nature is maintained at all costs and anyone or anything that may threaten it is met with swift, merciless retribution.

The Guardians are willing to give their lives for this cause. Is Marloran?

Be more specific: Why exactly does Marloran want to join? He may believe he has 'something to offer', but that is not a reason; why can he not offer whatever it is to some other organization?

[Marl]

Well marloran is a warrior thats all honorable and stuff, so of course he is. What I mean by the whole room to grow and learn is so that I can develope the character really into really fitting in with the guardians instead of like "I want to join cuz of this reason and because I am this" I want to have a reason for him to develope etc

I did come back and edit this.

Edit:

Marloran is a brutal warrior when it comes to combat, he may be all nice and polite and even respectful when he isn't fighting, however hes pretty brutal not on purpose of course hes just a big guy with a sword and tends to be pretty brutal. Marloran agree's with the cause alongside that fact any threat to nature at all should be removed to to speak. 

As for what Marloran has to offer which is experiences with a blade, experiences with different encounters of enemies such as orcs, elementals etc. 

As mentioned above Marloran is a brutal warrior but he is also fairly tactical about when it comes to combat for example crucial points to hit and that but thats common knowledge to most warriors. Marloran isn't a special character that has loads of different skills. 

Hes simply put as a brutal warrior but he isn't just some rawr hulk smash brute he is more tactical than that.

[Nialls]

I understand, thank you for clarifying.

Seems perfectly fine to me. In fact, Nialls was rather similar to Marloran in that he was slowly indoctrinated into the Guardians' ideals. It's certainly doable

[Dannelor Thornroot]

Everything here looks good - like Nialls, I enjoy the prospect of having a character who we can mold a little in the image of the Guardians, rather than him necessarily being perfect from the get-go. That, and we always need more burly men with swords.

Bumping you up to the next stage! I'll grab you for a chat in-game and then we can arrange an IC meet.
