Orcish Bio's

Give your fellow Bloodclan members a brief description of your "UO" and "RL" history. Screenshots are nice but not required at all.

Keep in mind your post will get deleted if it's not a BIO. You may start a new thread named "Bio Comments".

My name is Blake, I'm 24

I started playing UO in 1997 on Chesapeake and switched to Catskills on opening day. I spent most of my time pking with a three fireball combo and harassing roleplayers.

After mistaking a roleplaying orc for an npc, I had to try roleplaying out. I was hooked right away and spent the rest of my osi days contributing to RP communties on UO shards. I also played for a year on Siege as Wak, BlugBlug and Ghash.

It wasn't long before I tested several free shards out and found Hybrid. Thanks to Ryan I was able to bring a lot of roleplayers over from the catskills community and revamp The RP Ring.

IRL: I'm a project manager for a landfill, Commercial lender and actor. During my free time, I play UO or drink to relax

My dad used to play UO back in 1997 I played as a fisher character for 2 years till I was 8 years old. When I first started fighting monsters was when the Lizard and Ratmen would raid britain. I scammed other people for full verite/valorite plate and got my dads account banned for a week during the UOR time period I started playing free shards when UOX came out (older uo emu much like RunUO) as a GM when I was in middle school. I then came to UOGamers: Rebirth as Green Jelly started playing Hybrid made a character named Darth Vader came to the fort to train made my first orc '"Xergo'r'" **note he was NOT a fork :>** I've been hooked with bloodclan ever since!

Thurg · #5 (**permalink**) 10-30-2006, 06:34 PM

My name is Clifton (Cliff to most). I'm 32 and live in Southern California in sunny Orange County.

UO: I started UO around New Year's Day 1998 (got UO as a Christmas gift 1997) on the Sonoma shard. I was in a great, but small guild there and this is where I first met Lug. As a guild we had a great time being an Anti guild, chasing reds/having guild wars around the Deluccia area.

Lug disappeared for a couple months around Christmas 1999. When he appeared, we were hanging out and he kept talking funny. Yub...nub....WTF are you talking about? He explained that he moved over to Siege Perilous over the Christmas break and discovered this really cool guild that RP'd orcs. A couple weeks later, the original Thurg was born also on Siege Perilous. From that point forward I rarely went to Sonoma except to visit old friends or do factions with my thief. I became a bit disillusioned with SC leadership, so I had Thurg wander into the woods to be one with the Wargod (I deleted Thurg, not to resurrect him until I heard about Bloodclan on IPY). I then made an Undead on Siege and spent the final 7 or 8 months of my OSI days there.

RL: I'm actually an accountant, yes a bean counter.... I have a horrible commute, but work for a great company with great benefits. Some of the companies that we own are RCM, Nicholas-Applegate, and Pimco (some of you in the financial world should know these names). I'm married to a wonderful woman, who creates great webpages (remember one of the original Bloodclan forums with the axe and exploding oomie?), and is also a gamer. Also, I'm a bit longwinded.... so I'll step down from the stage and give it to someone else.

My name is Jesse Appel and im from the eastern USA. I am 16 years old

I started playing UO about 5 years ago on OSI when my parents and brother played it. I was a major newb so i didnt play it much, although my parents owned a huge guild and a ton of money. At about 2001 my parents sold their account for 2k irl. About 3 years later we found out about RunUO and got it which is when i started rping. Like Glub said, I saw the orcs and thought they were npcs. I soon joined them and spent most of my time on UO playing with them

Gug · #7 (**permalink**) 10-30-2006, 07:36 PM

My name is Darren and I'm old like Thurg....32. I live in OKC, OK and I work for a large accounting firm as a Network/LAN Admin. Ive been at It for about 7 years now.

For a long time I played baseball. I never had a computer, nor did I game until 2001 when my asshole RL friend came to my house and installed UO on my computer. I started on Hokuto, which is a jap shard, on OSI. I played there for about 6 months before the lag and time difference pissed me off enough so I sold my accounts and moved to Baja. I played Baja for about a year, ping ponging between there and SP. Im sure a few of you orcs killed me there.

I quit Baja and SP in Februaury of 2005. All I did was faction and it got way boring with the leet AoS shit so I sold my accounts before they were worth nothing.

On a side note, when AoS came out, I figured out the rune drop into the hidden containers around the city before anyone and placed 3 18x18's in the hidden mountains. That was the one where you dropped the rune on the bull skull under the tree.

Until about 2 months ago, I had stopped playing UO. Another real friend told me about UOG and got me hooked again. Since he was the only guy I knew here, and he's so busy at work, I had no one to play with. I have never RP'er before, but I thought Id give the Bloodclan a shot.

Im hooked.

Thanks for all of the great times weve had and the great times Ive yet to experience.

My name is Ross I am 17 I live in Holland, Michigan. Right now I work at Target! I basically just walk around and help people when they need it, and I am in my last year of highschool wewt!

I started playing UO with my irl friend back in 2002 but he played UO since it came out so he helped me out a lot. Me and him still play togather, sometimes we will Rp togather or we will faction togather.

But ever since he got me hooked on UO it's the game I will play in my free time.

Uo history

Started playing in 99 on Pacific. Kinda wanted to play earlier bc I had played Pagan and thought that UO would be like that but i was invollved in other things and didnt really have any spare time. Did a little bit of everyhting on Pac except factions. Guild friends all quit so I started trying other shards like Baja, and Yamamoto. Actually had a lot of fun on Yama and ended up meeting some people. I also tried Siege, and really hated the skill gain there. Didnt really know anybody but I hada stealth mage and interacted with the orcs there. I decided to burn my mage and make an orc (only had 1 account) seemed like as soon as i started orcing it everyone disappeared. At that time my wife was having a lot of fun rping on Pac, and i was jealous so I made an orc there. Played with Orcs of Kor for about 8 months and had a lot of fun. Anyway some personal stuff came around and i took a little hiatus. When I came back it was AOS. I played for 3 days then never went back. I had been following Darkfall since it started and heard through some other people about IPY. Found some 60 skill murder orcs lol payed some tribute and joined up. Been following the clan ever since.

My name is Nick, I'm from Beaver Falls Pennsylvannia (which is 45 mins NW of Pittsburgh), and am 20 years old.

I'm currently a college student. My major is undecided but I'm leaning toward Computer Science.

I started playing UO back in '97 at my friend's house. It took 6 months of getting my parents used to the idea of paying a montly fee for a game, and tricking my sister into helping me buy the initial box purchace (It was like 80 dollars back then! Can you believe it?) I had my own account in early '98.

I played on Chesapeake, and in late '98 I joined the Orc clan there, the Olag Hai Clan based out of the player town of Paxlair. My orc name was "Thugasmash" back then, but about 3 years ago people suddently and unilaterally decided that name wasn't Orcish enough so I had to switch.

I was never really in Shadowclan for more than a month at a time. The farthest I ever made in it rank wise was a Tribeless Grunt on Catskills and a Gruntee on Siege- this was all before UO:R keep in mind.

After this I played on a series of RP only shards, sadly never as an orc, mostly as a Drow or Undead of some sort.

So around 2002 I decided I wanted to start playing my Orc again on Siege, where Shadowclan was still relatively active. My name (Thugasmash) was deemed unorcish and I was unallowed to play him. I just quit at this point, because my Thugasmash character on siege was a 7x GM dexer and I didn't feel like spending a month training him back up.

Once again, I spent a couple more years on RP only shards. I was the head scripter and a Seer for one up until I decieded to leave because of creative differences (the new Admin was a corrupt jackass).

So once again a couple months ago I looked into Shadowclan again. I made an orc on Angel Island where they currently are and saw it was completely and utterly dead. I read their forums a bit and saw that they blamed Bloodclan for stealing all of their orcs. I was pissed at them about my name thing, so I decided to come here- and I'm glad I did! I havn't had this much fun playing an orc since like '98 :)
