Application: looking for bounty

* WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

IRL it's Mattias, out there in a galaxy far far away I'm not sure yet what my name will be.

* WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

Belgium javascript:emoticonp() (< added the emote for any Brits reading this, as they usually think Belgium is just about the most boring country on the planet ... and they're not far of to be honest)

* HOW OLD ARE YOU?

I was born just in time to miss the 70's (1981 so 28 now *sigh*), and I'm on the cusp of feeling a bit old (depending on the mood I'm in, from time to time I feel and behave like a 17 year old still).

* WHAT ATTRACTED YOU TO THIS GUILD?

I checked it out because ever since I saw Bounty Hunter was a confirmed class I dreamed of being an outlaw for hire (the jetpack and flame-thrower are a bonus ).
I stayed because I enjoy a spot of roleplay and you seem like a pretty mature bunch of people (maybe you'll be a good influence on me )

* DO YOU HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE IN ROLEPLAYING?

I was in an RP guild on AoC for a bit and at first it was very enjoyable (I really had high hopes for that game).
However we played on the Acquilonia server (now aptly renamed 'Gankuilonia').
I left because the community got swamped with griefers, there was very little guild support and even less RP in the end (besides the fact there was too little content and grinding is not my idea of fun).

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

I started out playing AO (Anarchy Online) a long time ago and loved it for about 1,5 years (I tend to prefer Sci-Fi to Fantasy), crafting was one of my main loves in that game (I've never seen a more complex and intensive crafting system).

After that I tried out a few others once in a while;
- a few months of Lotro (which had some very nice RP, but was mostly a grindfest for the last 10-15 levels).
- a couple months of AoC as I mentioned.

* WOULD YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF AN ACTIVE PLAYER?

Honestly it depends a little; I'm not always the most active (RL can get in the way and once in a while I need a little break from more intense gaming), but when I'm in I'm in all the way.

* WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU COULD OFFER THE GUILD?

An able pair of hands to fuel the war machine (I find it hard to make any big promises or anything, the proof is in the pudding I'd say)

* WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE THE GUILD TO OFFER YOU?

I would obviously expect to be showered with riches .
Or just a nice group of people to explore the universe with and get the most out of what I hope to be a truly epic game.
I don't expect to be joined at the hip, but a good guild to me is a group of people to fall back on (whether it be to scratch an RP itch or more tangible help). And that's what I hope I am as well: there when you need me (Do I hear violins in the back?).

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

At the moment I'm leaning towards a female Bounty Hunter (I'm an online cross-dresser I admit ), Twi'lek if other races than human are available.
An orphan probably, perhaps grew up in slavery but freed herself (violently) and became cold and distant. Although as a slave she was much praised for her beauty, she now hides her features almost always behind her armour, feeling shame and even loathing for her own looks. On the surface self-sufficiency is her highest virtue and credits are just a means to freedom for her.
Charm and wiles are not her tactics (although many would expect so from a female Twi'lek), she prefers a brutal approach valuing strength most of all.

It's a rough draft really, might change a lot depending on the info we get for the class-stories from TOR.

Anyway that's my wall of text .

Hi there Mattias, and welcome to our little part of the verse. Great application and I do like the sound of your Bounty Hunter. JJ is looking forward to meeting her already.

I'm sure someone from upper management will be along soon,and they'll show you the rules and regs to read over. I'd do it myself but I'm not good with paperwork, and our filing system at the HQ is way to complex for me.

Edit: I found some! Have a look over these: Guild Rules

Hi there Mattias, and great application. Full of detail and this made me chuckle:

LOL! We've got another one of them in the guild too but he's a smuggler.

As Nosyd has already mentioned, please have a read of the site rules and if you can post an introduction and anywhere else you may want to. I normally review an application during in that time and then if I like what I see then I'll take you up another rank to Initiate and then the trial period will begin. Sound good?

Again thanks a lot for the application and for showing interest in our guild!



p.s. How can Belgium be boring? You gave awesome chocolate, Stella Artois, and some of the finest (if not the finest) electronic music in the world including on of my favourite artists Front 242.

Welcome Mattias

By the way just to let you know you'll have to register with the site (up the top on the right) and then I can mark you down as a New Applicant.

Thanks.

Wecome Mattias, and thanks for taking the time to fill out the app (in an extensive and light-hearted way I might add, hurrah!).

Feel free to check the place out and make yourself at home, we're quite a sociable and approachable lot (despite a lot of our in-game personas!)

....and don't worry about the in-game crossdressing comments, this lot are just jealous!

Read the rules, and I approve
I got a little backstory to my BH sort of ready, I'll post that soon and add a little RL info.

A front 242 fan, hah, well I'm pleasantly surprised.
Although Belgium also gave the world this indescribable experience .

Registered myself under the nick 'TheSweatyFox', not exactly SW related, but it's a nick I've used on a few games/forums so easy to remember for me (the nick might sound a little familiar to fans of 'Shooting stars', used to be one of the most absurd and brilliant shows I ever saw).

Ah well that explains why Sureshot was looking a bit green then: .

Hello and welcome!

Hi and Welcome Mattias
