Mystery of the Lake [Open RP]

Setting
Something strange is happening in
Redridge
. Boar skeletons and dragon whelp corpses litter the edge of the lake, and citizens of Lakeridge have been missing, only to turn up days later, mere skeletons. The latest victim is
Shawn
, who went out fishing one fine afternoon, and never made it back home. In order to get to the bottom of this situation,
Magistrate Solomon
has sent a messenger to Stormwind, asking them to send help immediately.
---
At Stormwind,
General Marcus Jonathan
read Solomon's plea with interest. Something would have to be done about this - it would not do if it got out that Stormwind did not send aid to those in need. Quickly, the General scanned his list of active soldiers. It seemed that almost all his men were busy with other assignments. Even the soldiers assigned to Lakeshire had their hands full dealing with the Blackrock orcs from Stonewatch Keep. As his eyes ran down the list, the General saw a name that had no current commitments listed next to it - Bronn Thunderforge. He immediately wrote a letter and mailed it to Shattrath City, where the soldier was currently residing.
---
What's this? A sealed envelope from General Marcus Jonathan? Must be something special
, thought Bronn as he retrieved the letter from the mailbox. As he read the letter, he felt something building up inside him. A feeling of excitement. Finally the day had come - no more lazing around for this dwarf! The only thing that slightly dampened his spirits was the General's last sentence - "As we are short on manpower, you will have to find some mercenaries to aid you in this task. The necessary funds will be provided."
Bronn never really trusted mercenaries. After all, what if the other side had more gold than you? You'd probably end up with the mercs' daggers in your back.
Ah well
, Bronn thought,
I guess it's the best measure we've got right now
.

Players can RP as either Horde or Alliance, as the call is going out to any and all mercenaries. However, there will be a limit of four spaces only, excluding myself. Furthermore, there will be some rules and regulations regarding the RP in this thread, which I think would not really affect most people, based on the RPing I've seen in various threads. These rules will be covered in the second post. Furthermore, I'll be RPing as Bronn, and at the same time I'll try to play a role similar to that of the Dungeon Master (ie I'll be RPing as the bad guys).
Another slightly different aspect of this open RP is that it will be conducted in rounds. This may be frowned upon, but I feel it may be necessary for those who lead busy lives, so that they won't miss pages' worth of RPing just because they were at work or something like that. I trust that you can see the reasoning here - if you can't, well, I'm not forcing you to join the RP.
Redridge Investigation Force
1. Bronn Thunderforge
2. Garr "Scarface" Spinebreaker (Flyingshots)
3. Kazbo (Kizsm)
4. Emmyl (Benall)
5. Zenanor (Zenanor)
---
The first round is something like an audition round, as there are only four spaces available. The round will end when there are ten applicants, or twelve hours after this thread is posted, whichever comes first. Then, based on the submissions so far, I will choose those which I think are the best-fitting for this RP, in terms of imagination (with regard to your character), as well as whether or not your initial submissions comply with the rules, which will be posted shortly after this.

Thanks for reading, and I hope those who join will have a fun time RPing!

Rules and Regulations
(in other words, me being slightly nitpicky)
Posts must include your character's name and location, at the very least.
Please use punctuation. It's not that easy to read a run-on sentence that doesn't seem to end.
I'm not too fussy about capitalization. The only thing I ask of you is that you at least capitalize your character's name.
If your character is too overpowered (ie never gets hurt, never dies, etc), something bad will happen to you. I promise. (:
Please remember that you don't control the reactions of other players.
Basically, most of these rules are from
this thread
, but I'd like to enforce them, hopefully making everyone's RP experience a little more enjoyable.

Bronn Thunderforge | Dwarf Paladin | Age: Middle-aged
Bronn is a member of the Order of the Silver Hand, and he regularly pays visits to the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind. His primary home is in Ironforge, although he also spends quite a lot of time in the Outland, where he resides in the Aldor Inn at Shattrath City. His face, while slightly weathered, is none the worse for wear, and his grey eyes remain as piercing as ever. This is in contrast with his still bright orange hair and short beard. In terms of armaments, Bronn wears heavy plate armour, and carries a stout shield and a weighted mace.
As a dwarf, a love for the earth has always been in his blood. Hence, he specializes in the art of mining ores, and crafting exquisite weapons out of these ores. He is considered by many to be a master blacksmith, and the demand for his trade is never low.
At heart, Bronn is really just a jovial fellow. When he was younger, he was a thrill-seeking daredevil. However, with age and experience, he has become much more restrained, and is better able to control his emotions. When working with others, he sees the safety of his group as the highest priority, followed by completing the objective at hand. On the other hand, when he works alone, he places little emphasis on his own well-being, preferring to smite the enemies at hand.
All in all, Bronn is a born protector. He fights to protect those important to him, and to protect the nation he loves.

((Hey Flyingshots, the "auditions" are at Shattrath. (: From there Bronn will decide on who to take with him, and from there they'll head to Redridge together.))

((To SteelFlex - Start in Shatt, we'll all make our way to Redridge from there, via portal.
To knizoko - Well, I don't mind too much if you control a different character for one or two sentences, when the answer is pretty predictable. But in other cases, like I said above, please remember that you don't control the reactions of other players.))
Bronn turned to the human who asked him a question. "Aye, thar be somethin' for adventurers. By order of General Marcus Jonathan of Stormwind, I'm leading an expedition party to Redridge, where we'll be doin' some investigatin'. Are ye interested, laddy?"

"Paladin of the Order of the Silver Hand. As for me home, well, I spend a bit o' time here in Shattrath, but most days I'm in good ole Ironforge," Bronn replied, "What about you, orc? What's yer name?"
