Character:

• Name:Blake

• Class:Cleric

• Level: 50

Me

• Name: Blake

• Age:22

• Location:California

• Timezone:PST

• About Me: I am currently enrolled in the undergraduate program at CSULB (Cal State University Long Beach) majoring in Psychology. I should graduate with my Bachelors in less than 2 years of all goes well and will continue on for a Masters. I plan to take this profession into the counseling aspect and more specifically I look to help rehabilitate prisoners.

Aion History

• Previous Legions/Servers: Sleepless

• Reason for leaving: Katie and I were both kicked for personal reasons. I do not know what has been discussed from Katie's point of view. However, it has been said by everyone in the guild excluding the previous leader Mendel that the kick was senseless and stupid. We were in the discussion of being made officers before this happened.

MMO History

• Previous Games: EQ, Guild Wars, L2, WoW (short beta testing), Shaiya

• Raid Experience:

In EQ post GoD (Gates of Discord expansion), I was on the Seventh Hammer server as Braelvenae. Our guild Diligence was the second rated guild on the server and cleared all new content each time an expansion came to be. We had a strict raiding schedule that was adhered to along with a DKP policy, etc. At the time my character, Braelvenae, was ranked in the top 250 game wide in stats.

In Guild Wars I found the game a bit boring. I hit max level with a friend and we both ended up quitting shortly after that. Game just didn't fit my playstyle.

In Lineage 2 I found the game to be quite a bore. It wasn't the grind factor so much, as I don't mind that - ask Katie about my 72hr grind in Aion; however, the game just feel fun to play. I made it to about 40ish before I quit.

In WoW I played it, well rather tested it with a few friends from EQ guild who had gotten a hold of a beta test account. I hated it instantly. Just looked too fake to me, coming from EQ. I lost alot of friends to that game from EQ sadly.

In Shaiya is where Katie and I first teamed up. I made her pick up an MMO, she had never played one. She loved it and we eventually became top ranked (top 10 each) in Ultimate Mode. In Ultimate Mode if you die without a rez rune your character is deleted permanently. So it was quite a fun challenge. PVP in that game unless you were a Fighter or Archer was quite boring though. As a Defender and Priest (Cleric and Temp) it made it rather boring.

• How long have you been playing mmos?: Hmm.. Well according to Wikipedia Everquest was released on Mar 16th, 1999 I played that a week after its release. Before that I don't know if any of the games I played would be considered "MMO".

General Information

• What are your in-game goals: PVP, Fun, (Can't really say aspire to break new content)

• Have you discussed your application with a member if so, who?: Katie, Ryogen

• Why do you want to join Rising Dragoon?: Katie went to Rising Dragoon after I was unable to log into the game for the last month and a half. I go where Katie goes.

• What can you bring to Rising Dragoon? Healing, OCD Planning (again ask Katie), Entertainment, Someone To Control Katie (obviously)

• How/Where did you find Rising Dragoon? Ryogen talked to Katie and I when we were both around 48 (I believe). Have been keeping tabs ever since.

• Are you applying as Casual, Hardcore or Both: Hardcore.. I guess. I play everyday (for the most part) usually for several hours if my interest is kept.

• Do you have ventrilo?(a must have): Yes

Was that short enough Katie? Wasn't too big of a wall of text as my normal rants.

Anyways, you know where to get a hold of me. Or rather, I know where to get a hold of you.
