Application: Onjo Xaala (Rejected due to inactivity)

WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

Robbie

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

Cheltenham, England.

HOW OLD ARE YOU?

23

WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO THIS GUILD?

>It is an RP guild
>It is not a Sith/Jedi based guild
>I met welcoming people in chat
>I liked the idea of a motley crew of BH looking for they're next pay check

DO YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE IN ROLEPLAYING?

I suppose the best experience of RP i have is when my supergroup on City of Heroes collectively wrote our history, and we interlocked our stories, such as how we met and formed, and our personal arch villains.
It was mainly the most active RP members that took part in the creation of the story, and we came up with some really cool ideas.
We created several rivalries within our supergroup that lead to some great plot twists, and this added another level of depth to the game that made it much more appealing.

WHAT (IF ANY) MMORPG'S HAVE YOU PLAYED IN THE PAST?

I had a Trial account on WoW along time ago, but i never really liked fantasy RPGs that much, preferring to play more sci-fi based games, such as City of Heroes and City of Villains.

WOULD YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF AN ACTIVE PLAYER?

Yes, i will make myself available as often as i can, as i wish to take part in the guild as much as possible. I can play in the evening primarily due to work and ofcourse i will make myself available on weekends.
I will be as active as possible because i have an interest in Star Wars lore, and i want to fill in the history of my character.

WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU COULD OFFER THE GUILD?

I have a sense of humour<--see, SEE! its heavy but i'll bring it along, maybe we can make our targets laugh to death, but who knows. I will give as much help to guild members as i can, and i look forward to being involved in any future RP on the forums.
If you need an expendable character to die in an RP, feel free to ask, just don't kill Onjo please, he's my main

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE THE GUILD TO OFFER YOU?

Nothing more than it already has, a warm welcome and a free Bugatti Veyron .
All i really want from a guild is people who are easy to talk to, and will give advice and help if i need it, and i will never ask for anything unreasonable from any guild member.

DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION OR IDEAS ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE?

His name is Onjo Xaala, he was born on Dantooine in a rare union between a scavenger and a mercenary(this can be changed, as i am aware that 300 years have passed since the end of KOTOR 2, so maybe it can be the descendants of those two particular groups) his mother Sheema was the scavenger, she taught Onjo how to get the best deals with traders, and how to be resourceful, by showing him the best kinds of salvage to look out for.
His father Mardo was the mercenary, he taught Onjo melee and ranged combat, along with techniques and tactics that prepared him to fight even the toughest of opponents.

I have more ideas, he had a childhood friend (i'm thinking of a name for him) they used to play in the caves on Dantooine together, his friend used to always complain of a tingling sensation in his forehead when they were in the cave, while Onjo felt nothing.
Their was a strange crystal in the caves that glowed brightly ownly when Onjo's friend approached it, this made Onjo jealous and he used to joke saying that his friend and the crystal should get married. (later his friend will disappear, unbeknownst to Onjo he was taken away by the jedi for training) Onjo feels lonely without his friend and he travels to the cave and uses his fathers sword to remove the crystal that glowed when his friend was near, and kept it as a reminder of (he-who-cannot-be-named...right now)

I thought about using this as a plot twist later on in Onjo's history. Such as Onjo is sent on a mission to assassinate a jedi, he see's his target in a cantina on Nar Shadaa(just an example, planet and place are changeable) he looks familiar to Onjo, but he doesn't know why, he sees the target jedi at the bar with his back turned, Onjo decides he's going to use a poison dart, he slowly walks up behind his target, suddenly just as he is about to strike, Onjo's heart rose into his throat, as he noticed a dull glowing coming from his pocket. dan dan dahhhhhhh! CLIFFHANGER!

Hey Rob, good to meet you! I love your application - best one yet I think!

Cool back story too. Feels epic. Like Black Heart suggested on your intro thread, you should consider posting Onjo up on SWTOR-RP Wiki. There's a thread or two on here pointing to our own character bios on there (it's pretty easy to use).

So yeah, good luck with the application! Look forward to hopefully rp-ing with you soon!

Thats a truly awesome application mate and thanks for filling it in!

Loads of detail in there and it's better that way cause it tells me more about you. Love the character idea and he sounds like he'd hit fit in quite well here!

I'll get back to you soon to let you know if you've got into the recruitment stage, but in the meantime please have a read of the site rules and post anywhere you like.

p.s. Thanks for filling in an introduction too.

A sound application. I look forward to seeing Onjo on SW ToR RP wiki, and seeing you as a full time member!

Hey Robbie! Glad to see you fill out the application, and a great one at that! Can't wait to see your character's bio on, as Red mentioned, TOR RP wiki (If you need any help filling out the wiki page I can help or send you a guide on the different commands, it's really easy once you see it all done.)

Hope to see you around!

Thanks for the encouragement guys.
My character bio is primarily on paper right now, but i just thought i'd include some ideas i had about Onjo's development, and show that i do have some direction and an overall plan. I just need to organise my timeline of events to coincide with The Treaty of Coruscant<--(spelling?)

@Black Heart

I would very much appreciate your help with RP wiki, and if you could please PM me that guide you were talking about, i'm sure it will make things flow alot more smoothly.

Hi ya mate.

I'm sorry to let you know that due to the lack of activity on your behalf, that I won't be recruiting you into the guild. Thank you for appyling though, and if you find you have some free time, pop by anytime. You're more than welcome.

Best of luck for finding a guild that suits your needs.

Shame to see you go, Onjo, I thought you a rather good guy. Like the Chief said, stop by whenever. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Yes, good luck in finding a guild for when TOR starts Onjo. I fully support Sureshot in his decision but I hope you'll keep in touch wherever you find your home.

All the best,

Red.

I also support the decision to SS.
