As of right now, I don't RP much outside of Guildchat. I always use the best spelling I can (when appropriate) and use the correct punctuation when I'm typing in Jab's slight accent (like y'know, and S'okay.) But it occured to me the other day that, when RPing, I really don't know what Jabby would say.
This is very frustrating. I don't want Jab to be Derek. I've had *lots* of fun RPing certain alts, but those of you who've been with Ironsong for a long time know just how long it took me to level a character, and I'm not about to start over. (I've had this character since January and he just hit sixty 2 Fridays ago.)
This being the first game I've RP'd in, I don't have much experience. I figured I'd come to the most well-respected RP guild on the server, of which I'm very, very proud to be a part of. But I could use advice on it right now.
As for my backstory, (The thread got deleted, it appears. I made a "Post your childhood/backround here! Thread, and it no longer exists. Anyway, here's the edited version:
I never knew my actual parents, but that doesn't matter to me, because I never felt the need to find them. I grew up with orcs in the concentration camps set up by humans, and the those I grew up with are the only family I need. They were the ones that taught me to talk like an orc. I lack the awkward accent many trolls have.
Of course, being raised among orcs I was taught to fight with honor and fury in Orcish tradition. We had to do it at night to avoid attention from the guards. Over time, after many mock battles and grueling excersize, I grew tall and lean, and developed the muscular build I have today.
The time came when it was time to break out. Thrall and his troops burst through the wooden palisade walls. He properly armed us, and under him, serving as a grunt, I became the warrior I am today.
There's my general backstory. I'd greatly appriciate all of your help, and look forward to your replies!
