1) State your name and any titles that you have earned, through service to the Horde in battle or otherwise.
Hodenstanze Sharkpuncher, Formerly of the Venture Trading Company.
2) List your race and vocation, be it Undead Mage, Orc Hunter, or any other.
Goblin, Freelance hunter contracted with the Bilgewater Cartel.
3) Please introduce yourself to us, as much of your personal history as you feel comfortable sharing at this time.
Cheers to ya. Hodenstanze Sharkpuncher is the name, but my friends call me Stan. Sharkpuncher ya ask? Great uncle on my pappyâs side punched a shark right in the kisser as the story goes. As to my personal history, whatâs to say?
Step 1: Birth.
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit
Iâm still workin on step 2. The VTC paid well enough, but certain cataclysmic events have set me back a pretty penny. My position was âno longer availableâ as the nice lady with the burly assistants put it. But donât you fret, Iâve the old tricks to fall back on. Strip mining and deforesting is good money, but not a red copper cent is made till all those cute little critters are gutted and skinned. Canât have bambi mucking up the gears on a shredder, now can we? So when you are out looking to buy some new furniture, you can know itâs 100% bambi free thanks to your local Fauna Flaying Technician. And with all this new construction you tall folk have going, thereâs plenty oâ need. So Iâll be back in a cushy office job in no time, donât you worry your pretty little head.
4) Tell us about any professions you have taken up, such as Tailoring or First Aid.
Oh, Iâm a goblin of many skills. A veritable cornu-freaking-copia of talents. I hunt; I skin; I fish; I cook; I clean- well not really, but the dirt is pretty spread even. I even dabble in the fine art of mucking about in crusty ruins looking for treasu-errr⦠historically significant artifacts. And of course I can stitch a wound shut, them critters are bitey!
5) What are the Clans, Tribes, or Guilds that you have been a part of in the past, if any?
I served five long years as a Fauna Flaying Technician before advancing to Fauna Flaying Planning and Oversight at the home office for the Venture Trading Company. Since parting ways with that fine upstanding corporation I have been working freelance for the Bilgewater Cartel.
6) Please describe what drew your interest in joining the Ironsong Tribe, and any memorable interactions you have had with members of Ironsong.
Well it certainly isnât for the dental. Let me tell ya, some of you lanky troll types have teeth I could hang my hat on! I kid, I kid. But no, I find myself in an unfortunate predicament. In my enthusiasm for my work, I may- âmayâ I say, the burden of proof has not been met- I may have accidentally attempted to practice my trade on one of your members. Had that fine upstanding corpse of a warlock Kummer not come along, Iâm afraid yours truly might have found himself in the belly of that member whom I allegedly attacked on accident allegedly by mistake. Allegedly. My legal council has recommended I provide my services for a modest fee, errr⦠I mean⦠free of charge, yeah, free of charge to settle any grievance I may have allegedly caused. Allegedly.
7) What is the greatest trial you have faced, either long ago, or in the recent past?
Have you ever tried office politics in an office full of goblins? Hoo boy. My great uncle punched sharks with duller teeth.
8) What are your current goals, or some of your greatest desires, and the reasons behind them?
Thatâs easy. See step 3 above. Also Iâve always wanted to own a kodo. When Iâm rich Iâll have whole herds of them pulling me about in a gilded chariot. Youâll look at me rolling by and say to yourself âWow. That viral, handsome, and godlike icon of masculinity must be rich. I want to be like him.â
9) What do you enjoy most in your adventures in Azeroth?
Thereâs this little bar down in Tanaris with this sweet little waitress who⦠err⦠nevermind.
10) Finally, have you read our Code of Conduct, and do you agree to abide by the rules stated in it? If so, please state so here in addition to a reply to the post itself.
Sure thing. No problem chief.
((Hodenstanze is intended to be my new main. You will see nothing of my other characters except for crafting purposes until he is 85. Also, while looking for resources on goblins this helped me immensely in forming the groundwork for his character: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.wowwiki.com/How_to_roleplay_a_goblin">http://www.wowwiki.com/How_to_roleplay_a_goblin</a><!-- m -->))
