First and foremost: Tell us about yourself, as a player: I am an intense player of MMORPGs. I spend the vast majority of my time playing and role playing in them. Generally, I spend about 8-12 hours playing. I'm not one for intense grinding and long hours of questing and raiding, I prefer role play. I'm a bit of a contradiction as I enjoy RP and PvP,but that's not much of a big deal. I've been playing MMORPGs for about ten years now, and I have a pretty good general knowledge on how to play and RP in them.
What country do you come from? What is your primary language?:I'm from the United States and my primary language is English.
How did you get into Warcraft?: A friend of mine convinced me to get into it. I'm not the most experienced with it, however.
How did you find us? Did anything in particular draw you to the server?: The same friend introduced me to this server, she mentioned that this server is HEAVY role play. That's what I like.
What kinds of roleplay do you enjoy?: I usually go for heavy role play. Most of my characters won't be created until i have a full background story hashed out and a suitable look. I generally sway toward mature themes in my role play, and I try to stay within that range.
What is your favorite race/class? Why?: I'm a huge fan of the Night-Elf race. I tend to sway towards the more wise, mystical race. This race seems to have it all: looks, wisdom, age and power. It even has a deeply in-depth story. My favorite class would have to be the druid class. I love the idea of shape shifting It really fits well into the mystical theme.
What are your expectations of this server?: To put it simply, role play. Pure, untainted role play.
Out of all of our rules and regulations listed on our server, which appeals to you the most?: I liked them all, really, but my favorite would have to be the maturity rule. I come from many games where people make large, childish issues out of things that could be handled quickly and easily. I also come from games where there are tons of griefers and trolls (not the good kind). So having a cardinal rule about maturity really appeals to me as a player and a person. I also liked how you all mentioned that sometimes "R rated" themes may be about in role play. People seem to forget that role play is boundless in possibilities and directions.
Lastly, tell us a story! It can be short, it can be long; but most importantly, we want to see your work in action. Go!: (For this, I'll post an excerpt from my Final Fantasy fanfic. Original characters involved!)
[font="]There was sunlight,
bright sunlight after a long storm. The sound of water droplets hitting the
ground outside his window had just awoken Akil Stair, a young man who had lived
in the small, back water town of Do-non, from his mid-afternoon nap. He rubbed
his eyes and squinted trying to see through the intensity of the sun light. He
sat up with a sigh and thought to himself, oh wow, it rained today...oh well
that’s about the only thing that happens around here anyway. He got up from
his small make shift bed and stretched his muscles. The bright sunlight shone
brightly through the holes in his ceiling and the window, illuminating his
room. Akil's home, like the rest of his town, was poor. It was barely known
that people still lived there and was thought to be abandoned by many, though
it is still on the maps. The people of the town do not have many clothes and
the ones they have now still follow the old ways, traditional fabric with any
variation of a blue or green stripe running along the mid bottom of it, and
leather sandals. However the younger men rarely wear a shirt due to the
constant work they do trying to keep the town from falling apart. He's been
living with his mother taking care of her for, she is an older woman named May.
May can do things for herself but Akil will not let her do anything that he can
do for her. He strapped on his leather sandals and left the room.[/font]
[font="] "Mom... You in
here?" He called, but no reply. As he got closer to the front door he
began to hear the patter of running feet and screaming. He threw open the door
and saw people running. He grabbed a young boy by the arm and pulled him close
"Hey man, what’s going on out here, what is everyone running from?"[/font]
[font="]The trembling boy
replied, "M-m-m-monsters, crazy monsters...they are attacking and hurting
people! You should get out of here while you still can!" Akil let go of
the boy and watched him run off. I've got to do something! He thought to
himself reaching for his staff which wasn’t there. The confused young mage
rummaged around for it for a few seconds then decided he did not need it and
headed out the door without it. He saw people being slaughtered, their homes
being ransacked by grotesque looking creatures. They shot an acid like slime
from their mouths and had razor like claws. They walked on all fours. Akil
quickly cast lightning on one who was attacking a man and effectively stopped
him. There were a few people in the town fighting back but their weapons were
limited to pipes and rocks. Akil was the only person in town with materia and
knew how to use them; they came from his father, a deceased mage. He ran
through the crowd of running people stopping monsters along the way and when he
reached the end he saw one of the most shocking sights ever, his mother
fighting with his staff.[/font]
[font="]He approached her frantically asking,[/font]
[font="] "MOM! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! GET BACK THESE
THINGS ARE DANGEROUS!" [/font]
[font="]She saw one
approaching him from behind and shot a blast of fire at it. "Your father
was a protective man...don’t you think he taught his wife a thing or two just
in case?" She said smiling.[/font]
[font="] "Mom...give me back my staff
and run, now" he had a serious look on his face.[/font]
[font="] "...Ok but please take care of
yourself I know you can use this better than I can, for your father left it for
you alone" May stated.[/font]
[font="] "I know but these may be too
much for you, go now" he hugged her tight and took his materia embedded
staff from her.[/font]
"I'm
counting on you, make him proud" she gathered her strength and ran off. (End excerpt)
Is there anything else you would like to add, ask, or otherwise clarify?: No, not quite.
