Samanya application

[Samanya]

How did you hear about The Grim? Do you know anyone in The Grim?
I don't know anyone in the Grim, but I've heard about the Grim through the WoW-TNG discord group. Particularly, from a member on there named Cow Druid Tank Jesus that brought the Grim to my attention.
-

The forums are The Grim’s primary method of communication. Will you check them regularly (at least a few times a week)?
Yes
-

Tell us about your roleplaying experience. In WoW? Elsewhere? Do you consider yourself a heavy RPer? What does that mean to you?
I've been roleplaying in WoW since the Burning Crusade, and before that, in various roleplays on online forums. And, I'd consider myself a moderater roleplayer.
-

The Grim are considered a Lawful Evil guild. Do you have any experience playing a character of this alignment or a character archetype that believes in structure with evil intent?
In the past I have roleplayed as characters that are pro Horde, and even one that had agreed with the way Garrosh himself had ruled the Horde during his reign.
-

Have you been part of any other guilds in World of Warcraft? If so, who were they and what server do or did they reside on? Let us know of your experience with them and what made you decide to either leave or continue to stay.
Back when I first started playing back during the Burning Crusade, I was part of a Horde guild that existed on the RP realm called Thorium Brotherhood. The guild was named the Hammer of Kalimdor, which consisted of the true Horde races (Orcs, trolls, taurens and goblins) which were dedicated to the defense of Horde lands. (Mostly on Kalimdor, obviously enough) Sadly, the whole roleplaying community died down and it all eventually shifted servers.
-

Are you applying on an alt (non-main) character? If so, what are you looking for here that you are not getting from your main character? If you are feeling honest or adventurous, please let us know who your main is.
I am applying on alt, (Though, an alt I've had since the second expansion) and looking to get back into experience what Horde rp is like on a fresh server. My main currently is a Night Elf rogue on the Moon Guard server.
-

What race and class is this character? Why did you choose this race and class?
Samanya is a Tauren druid. I chose the race and class because they seemed the most appealing horde race to me, and are capable of various kinds of support roles in contrast to just a class capable of tanking and dealing out only dps.
-

What are your expectations for your character after joining The Grim? What aspect of the game do you wish to focus on (raids, rated battlegrounds, arenas, challenge modes, achievements, etc.)?
Considering I work full time, and or bounce around from playing WoW or fulfilling other activities. I'd prefer to focus heavily on roleplaying and casual leveling. The same could be said for perhaps raids and or just heroic dungeons, even some casual pvp.
-

What is your PvE (player-versus-environment) experience in World of Warcraft? What classes and roles do you enjoy the most in a raid environment? Do you have any PvE experience from other MMO games?
I honestly haven't done much raids in my time spent in WoW, but I have ran through old Karazhan and even one or two raids from WOTLK. I very much prefer supports over playing a DPS class, be it a healer or a tank.
-

What is your PvP (player-versus-player) experience in World of Warcraft? What classes and roles do you enjoy the most in a PvP environment? Do you have any PvP experience in other MMO games?
Back when I first started playing Warcraft, I had begun playing on an RP/PVP server (Maelstrom) I often enjoyed world pvp more than battlegrounds for hopefully obvious reasons, and I wouldn't shy away from world pvp. Case in point, back with the Hammer of Kalimdor guild on Thorium Brotherhood, we would often defend the Crossroads and other Horde areas from Alliance attacks. Same with the PvE situation, I prefer to roll healers and tanks when necessary/required.
Yes
-

Did you read and understand our guidelines on character names, listed at the beginning of this application? (Please note, if your name does not fall within our guidelines and you do not want to do a name change, you are more than welcome to apply under a different character.)
Yes
-

How is your computer performance when playing World of Warcraft? What is your FPS/load times during heavy graphical or high population times? Is your internet connection stable?
I'm running on a laptop which is more than capable of running Warcraft well enough. Even during high populations times with little to no issues. And yes, my internet connection is stable enough.
-

Provide an armory link to your character.

-

What days/times do you typically play this character?
Usually, evenings and late evenings, provided I don't have to work in the morning. Or, when there's times that there isn't an event or some such happening on my other character mentioned here.
-

Have you read the Required Reading? Do you have any questions or concerns about anything there?
Yes, I've read it and there's no questions/concerns that I've got.
-

Have you read the Mandate? Do you have any questions or concerns about it? Can your character live by it?
Yes, I've read the mandate through and through. There's no question/concerns I can think of at this particular moment. But yes, certainly Samanya can live by the law laid down by the Grim.
-

Do you have anything further to add?
No

((Can I just say. I love that Cow Druid Tank Jesus is getting the credit. I can't stop laughing. Also, Thorium Brotherhood was my original server when WoW launched. Haven't heard that name in a loooong time. Thumbs up.))

((Good to meet you, Samanya - don't forget to write an IC letter of intent for the character! Once that's done, we'll schedule your in-game RP interview.))

[Samanya]

[I'm sorry, I figured I forgot something when I typed all that in a hurry! And that's all I know CWTJ as =P But thumbs up indeed, Thorium Brotherhood was my home for a looooong time.
I'll type an IC letter of intent tonight when I get the time.]

((Interview set for tomorrow (Wednesday) evening at 7 server in Dalaran. If you can't make the time or place, let me know and we'll work something else out!))
