1. What is your Name, Class and Level?
Sindel, Shaman, Level 57
2. What are your primary professions?
Cooking, Fishing, Skinning and Mining (I’m considering switching to a crafting profession down the road, but gathering materials and selling them is how I was able to buy my mount.)
3. Have you been in any other guilds on this server? If so, please list them.
No I have not.
4. Why did you leave the previous guild(s)?
5. Why do you wish to join Argentum Ordo?
The members that I have met so far have been very friendly and welcoming, and they’ve offered some fun RP. I’m looking for a place where I can RP without people being judgmental or bossy about it. I’m hoping that being a member of Argentum Ordo will making playing WoW more fun than if I was just leveling alone.
6. What are your goals as a player? (ex: RP, PvP, PvE, End Game, etc.)
I think anything is fun with the right group of people. I rolled new characters on SC to get into the RP experience, something I’ve wanted to try for a while, so I suppose one of my two main goals is RP. The other is just regular PvE. I love questing, exploring the world, finding new bits of lore, and all of that. I’ve never really been into the End Game stuff, but like I said, with the right group of people, it could be a blast. I enjoy doing battlegrounds, when I’m in the mood, but I dislike world PvP. (I come from a PvP server, so I’ve had about enough of that! ) That was one of the things I liked about AO, their respect for the Horde, and the idea that they could be allies. That suits me well. I’m happy to grow with the guild, and change directions if we all want to try something together, but I’d like to above all remain RP.
7. What do you expect from the guild?
Hmm…tough to say just now, being so new. I guess I’m hoping mostly for companionship. I quest solo almost exclusively, because I like to go at my own pace, read all the quest text, wander off the trail if the mood strikes me, that sort of thing, but after doing that for about 50 levels on this server I thought, What am I doing here? This is no different from being on my other server, really. I’m looking to be around other laid-back, friendly people who want to enjoy some RP with their questing. Or just to have some people to chat with while slogging through the forests and swamps of Azeroth.
8. Please share a bit about your character (IC, be creative!)
I suppose some would consider a Shaman to be a master of the elements. I say, those who do, have never truly worked with the elements. At best it is a partnership. To call me merely a conduit for their energies is to imply that I have no free will of my own, and that, I assure you, has never been the case. The elements are . . . surprising companions. My life had been many things, but never dull.
I never sought to learn the ways of the elements.
In truth I wanted to be a Hand of Argus, as I think all young Draenei wish at one time or another. I wanted to be a brave Paladin, wielding the Light as a shield for all who need protection. The Light, it seemed, had no such grandiose plans for me.
But, that is a tale for a different time.
Suffice it to say that I now walk my path alone, apart from my family and for the most part my people. I feel more at home among the Broken and the Kal’dorei. Most commonly I can be found running the wild lands, away from civilization.
When the aspect of Earth is upon me, I can be very calm and very patient. But I have worked with all of the elements, and the aspect of Air finds me often, leaving me changeable and a bit tempestuous. Rarely will you see the aspect of Fire upon me, unless we do battle, and then it is wise to keep your distance, even if we are allies.
Do not mistake my solitary nature for ambivalence toward others. It is only my own need for peace and inner silence that drives me from the company of friends. I still have—despite the odd twists and turns in my path—the heart of a protector, and the will to fight for another’s cause. I cannot be the Light’s shield you may require, but I can be the lightning’s strike, and the flames of fury to keep your enemies at bay.
Walk your true path, and look for me on the rising wind. I am Sindel of the Storms.
9. Please share a bit about YOU (OOC)
Well, apparently I’m very verbose on paper …sorry about that! I work as an editor for a financial services company during the day, and write in most of my other spare moments. Some day I hope the only editing I’m ever doing is working on a novel’s second draft, but that’s some time off yet. I love to read, and I game in my lazy moments when I’m procrastinating my writing. I’m totally new at RPing. I guess I RP as my characters all the time when I’m writing, so maybe I should say I’m new at live, on-the-fly RP, with other people. If there’s something you think I should know/do differently, feel free to let me know. I’m pretty shy, which can come off as standoffish online, so I thought I’d throw that out there. And, since I edit most of the day, I tend to misspell and mistype in my off-hours, it’s a weird counter-balance thing, I think. Don’t feel like you have to correct all of your chat text around me, and I apologize in advance for ruining an RP moment with a horrific typo/misspelling.
10. Additional comments and information:
Two things:
First-I have a brand new puppy, a 3 month old bulldog named Buri, whom I love to bits but who is quite the handful! If I disappear mid-anything, just know that it’s likely because Buri’s up/running amuck/eating my shoe/teething on the kitchen table leg/needs a walk/its play time/ what have you. So I might randomly disappear ( I tend to game while he’s napping).
Second- I’m happy to help out with whatever anyone needs. One of the disappointing things about leveling up alone on a new server is that there were quests I just couldn’t get done. Finding a BFD group? Forget it! So I’m happy to help with any quests if you need it, or run any instance, as long as I’m not in the middle of something (and if I don’t expect a Buri-emergency in the middle of it). So feel free to ask. I also have some lower level alts I could bring.
