Shaoshao

[ShaoShao]

(IC) What name or title do you go by?
      - Shaoshao Plainsbloom is the name I have been given.

(IC) What is your gender and race?
      - I am a female Tauren.

(IC) What is your class in life?  Why did you choose to follow this class?
      - I follow the Druidic path my people have recently come back to; and I hope to use its teachings to better understand myself, and others.

(IC) How would you describe yourself?
      - I am one who follows their’ own path. Independent and curious, someone who thinks and studies but also is not afraid to act. 

(IC) How many "Honorable" Kills do the Battlemasters currently have recorded for you?
      - Very few only 105 to date, I have been more focused on learning and growing than combating the alliance.

(IC) What drives you in life?  How would the Grim benefit from having you among its ranks?
- There is something wrong in the world around us you can feel it and see it and certainly know of its presence by our recent wars and the constant conflict surrounding us. The Grim seem to be aware of wheels turning and act as conflicts arise. Would not any group in frequent combat benefit from a druid’s knowledge of predatory combat as well as the more mystic and restorative aspects of nature.

(IC) What did you do prior to The Grim?
      - Thus far I have mostly been wandering Azeroth and more recently Outland practicing and expanding my druidic knowledge. 

(IC) What are your thoughts on the pact between the Alliance and the Warchief Thrall?
      - The pact has the feeling of good intention but words do little in the face of a reality of the open hostility between us. It does both sides credit to have at least maintained this level of ‘peace’.

(OOC) The Grim is a role-playing guild that requires full immersion (heavy RP) of their members.  What does that mean to you?
      -  That I’ll get to stretch the creative parts of my brain while playing, kill some boredom and generally have more fun with the game.

(OOC)  The Grim are considered a Lawful Evil guild, ruled by structure and a defined chain of command with the intent to see the complete annihilation of their enemies.  How does your character's personality and storyline follow the Grim Mandate?  Is there any conflict between how you want to play your character and the theme of the Grim?  If so, what do you expect out of joining us?
      - I have a hard time considering a druid ‘Evil’ while they’re still sane, but I also wouldn’t call a man eating tiger evil. I think at this stage my thinking regarding this character is much more neutral. Though who can say, she would have no qualms regarding actions against the alliance.

(OOC) What sort of role-playing experience do you have, online or off-line?  Do you consider yourself a beginner or Gary Gygax?
      - I’ve been involved in a few rounds of table top gaming D&D and a couple d20 system clones, something like 3 years of casual RP in WoW on another server which I actively participated in on and off (I’m not going to say I was RPing everytime I logged in for that time but I was certainly an officer in a large RP guild on Maelstrom for a long long time) and I did get dragged into a LARP or two but I can’t say I got into that much.

(OOC) Do you have any previous WoW experience?  (PvP, Raiding, Battlegrounds, Different Servers, Different Guilds, Different Factions, etc.)
      - Alt-a-holic, ‘casual’ raiding, a few guilds most prominently years in an RP guild on Maelstrom  both as a member and officer as well as the ‘hand hold the casuals though Kara and ZA’ person for them, a couple typical not awesome but we raid stuff guilds. I’m not a huge PVPer but I do enjoy doing some arenas and BGs.

(OOC) Is this character a server-transfer or has it been renamed recently?
      - Nope

(OOC)  What are you, the player, looking for in the Grim? What are your expectations of the guild?
      - I’ve had a lot of disappointing guild experiences lately and I’m hoping for something that will not disappoint, but that might renew the fun I used to have playing this game.

(OOC)  When joining the Grim, each new applicant will be matched up with someone to help them get into the swing of being Grim.  In order to coordinate this, we will need to have a fair approximation of your play schedule.  Please give a general outline below, OR if you wish to keep it private, send a PM to Nymare.
      - I’m often on nights and evenings but at the moment my schedule isn’t very consistent

(OOC) Please provide an armory link to your character for verification.
      - http://www.wowarmory.com/character-shee ... n=Shaoshao

(IC/OOC) Do you have anything further to add?
      - I can pick flowers and turn into a cat and claw you to death… what’s not to love? Or hate?

                                                                                                    And of course: Peace through Annihilation.

I see you made your letter of introduction, druid.  However, there is one particular thing missing from this application.  You will need to find and correct this oversight before I will agree to speak with you.


Through Annihilation,
Nymare Sunfire

High Inqusitor of The Grim.

Ah, I do see my oversight and it has been remedied.
