Pleiades

[Pleiades]

(IC) What name or title do you go by?

-Pleiades Falchiona

(IC) What is your gender and race?
-Female Troll

(IC) What is your class in life? Why did you choose to follow this class?
- While I prefer the term “adept”, most refer to me as a mage. While the raw power seems to flow from me naturally, the orderly control I am able to exercise over my enemies and the discipline needed to wield that power effectively appeal to me personally. Following the path of the magi seems the most logical way to apply my other skills upon the battlefield.

(IC) How would you describe yourself?
-Quiet. Distant. Loyal. Diligent. Entirely too well-spoken for a troll. I prefer the role of “trusted ally” to that of “leader”, but I will apply order to a situation as necessary unless instructed otherwise by my superiors.

(IC) How many "Honorable" Kills do the Battlemasters currently have recorded for you?
      -I have killed well over five hundred Alliance over the years. I expect that number to grow exponentially while serving The Grim.

(IC) What drives you in life? How would The Grim benefit from having you among its ranks?
-The numbers drive me. Always the numbers. For example, where the peon sees a “basket of apples”, I see:  “47 apples, which averages show at least 10% will be inedible, therefore I see 44 apples weighing a total of 20 stones which should be sold at a cost of…” You see where I’m going here? While my specialty is accounting work, I have worked as a mercenary for the Horde many times in the past and have recently begun to do so again. My power grows by the day and I will use that power on The Grim's behalf in addition to providing any financial consulting you may ask of me. I will follow orders. I like orders.

(IC) What did you do prior to The Grim?
-I have served as chief Factor and accountant to the mercenary company as well as several other independents for many years now. I awoke recently to find my vaults empty and my guild crest gone. Many moons ago, one of the Blood Moon warned me this may happen and beseeched me to seek Chasingstars for a new purpose. Having failed to locate her, I have come to The Grim as I believe my previous master would have instructed me to do.

(IC) What are your thoughts on the pact between the Alliance and the Warchief Thrall?
-The Lover's Treaty? A farce. Working with the Alliance is not profitable or logical, unless, of course, we're giving them their orders and using them as cannon fodder. Or ammunition. I recall a tauren known only to me as "The Grinder" who could pitch dwarves and gnomes with deadly accuracy.

(OOC) The Grim is a role-playing guild that requires full immersion (heavy RP) of their members. What does that mean to you?
-RP all the time. No OOC. Ever. Don’t even try to OOC me. If you don’t know how to OOC me, you won’t OOC me.

(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?
- Pleiades might initially come across as "too good" for The Grim, but she has a dark side that just won't show through here and is far too logical to succumb to any kind of "bleeding heart" mentality. She's got the "Lawful" part down to a science. Most importantly, she is lost and needs something to provide structure to her newfound life as an adventurer. The Grim and the Mandate will give her the order she needs to feel like she has a place in the world. She will fit in just fine. Make sure you've read the part where she says: "I like orders."

(OOC) What sort of role-playing experience do you have, online or off-line? Do you consider yourself a beginner or Gary Gygax?
-I’d say I’m better than Gygax, but only because he kinda can’t RP anymore, y’know?

(OOC) Do you have any previous WoW experience? (PvP, Raiding, Battlegrounds, Different Servers, Different Guilds, Different Factions, etc.)
-I’ve seen everything WoW has to offer barring BT, ToGC, and ICC.

(OOC) Is this character a server-transfer or has it been renamed recently?
-This character has been on TN since shortly after the server launched, so, no.

(OOC)  What are you, the player, looking for in the Grim? What are your expectations of the guild?
I expect a fun and orderly place to RP, Raid, and kill Alliance. My previous experience with the guild tells me I will find these things in abundance.

(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 Aquizit.
- I've been playing every Tuesday and Thursday from about 4pm-10pm. I'm around most nights at those same hours, but always Tuesday and Thursday. I'm generally around all day on Sundays from about 10am onward.

(OOC) Please provide an armory link to your character for verification.

(IC/OOC) Do you have anything further to add?
Puppy is my hero. Oh, and the whole "Peace Through Annihilation" bit. I wondered where that had gone. It was in that whole mess of "stuff I don't need to read again but probably should anyway".

[Thalevia]

There appears, as with most, to be a detail missing.

[Xondor]

Puppy approve of all Troll, even one Puppy no know. Xondor approve of any Puppy like. So Xondor approve... Troll need learn read better letter instead number though.

[Greebo]

This is one of the mercenary applications. Clearly they do not think there is a difference between the Blood Moon and The Grim.

[Aquizit]

There isn't.. not in my eyes. They are both Wardens, are they not?

Plus, Mr. Justice, I am trying to streamline the process. More.. efficiency if you will.

As for the troll, I suppose we'll go up to the top of Gundrak.. tomorrow night at 7.

This is one of the mercenary applications. Clearly they do not think there is a difference between the Blood Moon and The Grim.

I no longer feel the Blood Moon will be an appropriate place for me. I feel as though I need the structure of The Grim. I will do my best to prove The Grim needs me, as well.

((Grr for making me OOC. I was still in my 40's when I put in the Blood Moon app. I'm 60 now and would prefer to be full-flavored Grim instead of Grim-Lite. When I posted this, I'd just noticed Aquizit's post saying the level restriction had been removed and C&P'd my BMR app and added in all the Grim stuff as needed. Sorry for any confusion.))

[Greebo]

(( nuu nuu nuu. When I read the app it didn't have Peace, that's all ))

[Aquizit]

Absent.

[Thalevia]

Absent.

((*points to the part of the app where he said he plays tuesday, thursday sunday most reliably*))

[Aquizit]

Admitted.
