OOC information
Character name: Devian Foulrot
Class: Warlock
Why do you want to join the Cult?: The Forsaken have always been my favorites because of the lore, the idea of the curse of undeath and their immense potential. The Cult exploits these points of interest and is nevertheless a way of immersing myself into them.
How did you come to learn about the Cult? I was browsing the RP forums for hints as to where to make my return to rp and to wow as a whole (as I quit rp a year ago and half a year ago I quit PVP (and WoW) too) and by reading threads I started missing my DB chars the community so from there on the guild-choosing was really easy (after reading the DB forum, too).
I am studying law, so the time offline can be stretched to 4-5 days, as at times there is a lot of reading to be done, which would leave me no social life time if I got online; but this shouldn't happen often at all.
I have been RP-ing in military or pvp-oriented guilds, mostly, as PVP is what attracts me the most to WoW. Having not played the game on a continuous basis, I would say that the sum up of my RP experience would be around 8-9 months.

To the leaders of the Cult,
"If you desire ease, forsake learning." This is all I can remember of my parents, but their saying has guided me all my life and, now, beyond it. They were murdered in a hold-up. It was by that time that I began to discover that my mind was strong enough to penetrate others' and even weave the shadow to my will. But I was wise enough not to show this and to do as much studies and researches as I possibly could at the orphanage, as I felt knowledge and wisdom were friends of mine. The deeper I fell into this "lust for knowledge", the more introvert I became and I separated myself from my surroundings.
As no one knew my parents' name, they called me my surname, Devian. But other kids soon started calling me other names, mocking me, as I was too caught-up in my activities, too stranded and disinterested in their activities, which seemed to me futile and utterly useless. That's when they started calling me Foulrot. I took the name as my own, as names didn't seem of importance to me, the one thing important was the mind in the person which passes by that name. It suits me best now, kind of ironical, huh? Or is it?
You see, dearest Forsaken, all my thoughts and curiosities didn't lead me to answers. Oh no, they lead to other questions and they lead to others until finally I began to see sense in all the chaos. What if my name isn't a coincidence? What if all there is in this world is brought to us by our thoughts and deeds? It's a question too simple to express what I had began sensing. For the first time I felt that I knew something I didn't even ask myself about, that it had been in my mind all along, I felt... I had never been alone and never will be as long as I had my judgement and my firm belief that each and one of us is a tiny god that can shape the universe with the bare power of its mind.
But still I felt clueless as to where my goal stood, what had I to ask myself, to follow, to achieve in order become complete, a whole that cannot be affected by anything. Guess that at that moment I truly felt the need for something to happen, something that was expected and foreseen by me, but to the closed minds would seem world-changing. A transformation. Maybe that's why I wasn't too surprised to wake up and see my flesh decaying and by bones coming out through it. In some way I felt content, as my thoughts were more focused on hoping that was the change I had been seeking, awaiting, that was to fill the hollows in my mind (even though they now had appeared in my body). Suddenly I realized I felt more powerful, focused and clear-minded then I had ever hoped - this was indeed what I had waited to happen: the curse of undeath was just a step towards what my being sought to achieve (I didn't know what it was at that time, but I felt it coming to me).
Not long after that I found myself among Forsaken that were after the same achievement I was. They thought me about the Forgotten Shadow, about its roots, divine humanism and that what I am looking for is called the Ascension. My last unanswered question had become a thing of the past. My purpose was now clear to me and I felt more driven then ever to fulfill it.
My thirst for knowledge had made me sense the great change that was to come to the world, but utterly more important then that, it confirmed to me that my mind is my strongest companion and that one must always seek anything he feels and desires, as it will come to him.
In my humble opinion, I feel I am but a mere initiate to this belief and look forward with all my being to learn and be guided in the ways of the Forgotten Shadow by your Cult.
Shadow had always been my instrument, even in the world of the living, so now I could really call myself at home, among my fellow Forsaken. May we all succeed in finding the Path of Ascension and the shadow never wither.
