Character Full-Name and Titles:: Gazarex Tinkerbrew.
Character Race and Class:: Goblin, (Rogue I think)
Why does your character wish to join Blackguard? If the answer is "gold", tell us why gold matters to them.: The pure pursuit of knowledge, my dear. To unravel the inner workings of the world genuinely entice me. Unfortunately since the loss of Kezan, I've, I've.. There is not really much interest for that kind of stuff. The issue being, those polymorphic chain reaction kits and the high power liquid channeler are quite expensive. I need coin, just like a flower needs water.
Anyhow, besides what is life without freshly pressed orange and strawberry juice, the Kaja cola and the Eleek tongue snacks...
Describe your character's past. Where did they grow up? How did they learn their trade? What kind of work history do they have? Whatever you think is relevant to who they are – but aim for at least 3 full lines.: Right, so I grew up in Hobhill. Oh yes. So, I got drafted to serve in the third trade war, given the expertise I got from the old Pappa I managed to survive it. Went to the Gabbenhelf university afterwards, given my distinguished service. We contributed to several hobgoblin advances. It was all good and dandy until the peace war. Oh that terrible war, even Gabbenhelf got split into two fractions and so many valuable sample went lost.
After the peace war I was trying to set up my own laboratory, people would bring in their slave and get a more obedient slave in return. And I'd have spare time, doing some research on the side and living out my life. Maybe even start my own family....
You know what happened don't ya?
So I end up in Azshara like everybody else. Did some small jobs, yet the only thing in demand was muscles and bombs. A good got business scheme for any opportunity. Got me into the mercenary business, scalping some naga and making some goblin stuff. I probably couldn't rival the forsaken, but they had some, regulatory issues.
Now, are you the kind of type who can hold on to a bit of person sensitive information?
The Twilight's Hammer, they came to me, I was out of coin and they weren't. My old mother didn't raise any silly kid, customers discretion. Sold a few things, seemed like most other customers.
Went to set up shop in their camp, this was a buyers market. However, proper contracts involve that the coin paid has value after the job, they went back on that. I ain't selling my head or my sanity. That sickeningly crazy that went on in their camp, not being able to leave wasn't part of the deal. My carer could have ended there if the Kor'kron hadn't decided to take a crap on that party of theirs.
Tell us about your character's skillset. What can they do that would be valuable to a mercenary company?: You get goblin with a degree in synthetic alchemy. I won't bore with alchnomatic details, you probably don't care about anyways. What should matter to you is that I've fought in two wars.. Goblin wars. I could call myself close combat specialist. In addition, years of expertise from Gabbenhelf enables me to quickly acquire the skill set to make you whatever tool of goblin excellence you will need.
What are your character's feelings regarding the other Horde races?: Well, they will never be as smart as goblins, but hey they are our pals.
Old enemies, old loyalties - does your character have them? Who with?: Well, ain't got no one caring for me and I ain't got anyone to care about right now.
Except that whole Twilight Hammer's business. Happens that both involved parties have bigger issues on their mind now, I hope.
Finally, write a quick paragraph, describing your character doing something typical to them. (This is to help us get a feel for how you play, so make it something you might type in RP.): "A drop of blood, five drops of oil, a drop of salmon sperm and a knife's tip of salt. We'll soon be done with this" Gazarex mutters as he mixes his ingredients in a small glass vial. "Now, for the." Gazarex plucks one of his own hairs. Holding onto the hair he submerges the tip of it in another vial with a thick green liquid. "Just one moment, this is the tricky" Silently he drops the tip of the hair into his concoction and quickly seals the tube. "Phew, now we'll leave this one heated for an hour"
"And you wanted?"
"Gazarex, what is meant by being a "synthetic" alchemist"
Gazarex answers "It is use of various fauna and products. Using recent advances within the arcane to extract and recombine their essences to form new novel products, which in turn can instigate manipulations in current..."
Ohw. Hey wait, how is that different practically different from normal Alchemy?
Gazarex: Well it is, using recent advances, and more into a practical scope than normal alchemy.
So, you can make potions and elixirs.
Gazarex: Any kind, I can also make acid bombs if so you desire.
Blackguard deals with mature themes and content. Please confirm you, the player, are over 18.: Yes
Why do you wish to join Blackguard?: I'm Deliaris.
I know many of the members, very well. Satimira, Nyora, Katriada, Asriya, (whatever Dannelors alt was called) and Nikeia. In addition I like RP where you follow the current world storyline (like going to Isle of Thunder). Borderlands was some of the best RP I had. The point is, most/all of the RPers I used to RP with prior to MoP is in the blackguard. So I've made this goblin specifically to fit into the blackguard.
When I stopped with the blackguard at first after borderlands, it was because I fell ill and had to finish my masters at the same time so I just couldn't keep up with much. Then there was a new expansion, new characters and everything.
Tell us a bit about yourself. Hobbies, job, talents, accomplishments, whatever you're comfortable sharing.: Here is the fun thing: In real life I'm a research assistant. I could call it Synthetic Biology, because it sounds fancy. That is I try engineer plants for production of some special biological compounds. While it can seem totally awesome keep in mind, real science...
http://xkcd.com/683/Tell us about your background in roleplay.: You already know it.
Okay, story time: I eventually decided that continuing to keep my guild alive via heavy and efficient recruitment when its core members were acting inflammatory and just making people leave... After being in it on Al'akir for four years. Never mind me. Long story short I end up on SWC starting on a fresh, and I for a long while I had been interested in RPing, because I did like reading the quest texts.
Maybe luck, maybe fate I end up seeing a post on the forum for the moonguard, which I then anxiously asks to join. They taught me that spamming rejuv doesn't actually work in RP (I tried once didn't I?). But time pass and I find myself playing this rogue twink, because I had time. Which then in some RP and such ends up getting into the way of malorne, and I RP quite a bit while raiding with unity all through wrath. During cataclysm WoM disbands and as I'm doing arena with Sarama and Mehtomiel Deliaris somehow also ends up in TCG. I end up with a rogue to join the borderlands because the rest of the people have gone there and it is pretty good.
