Tuskinar (yes, again.. crazy old troll)

[Tuskinar]

(IC) What name or title do you go by?
- Well, bein' as famous as me, ya get ta be known by many names. But some be callin' me Tuskinar, or jes' Tusky fah short.

(IC) What is your gender and race?
- Last I checked, I were a male troll.. but, yanno, t'ings be happenin'. Thankfully, not to me....

(IC) What is your class in life? Why did you choose to follow this class?
- Mah class in life would be a borin' one; be glad dere ain't no Tuskiuniversity, 'cause ya's ain't gonna get any students in dat class. ...Unless ya meant whut I do fer a livin'! ..in which case, ya just be forgettin' dat last bit. I be a trained priest, mending bones an' bringin' da weaky ones who dyin' back from death.. Why? 'cause I'm too lazy ta kill t'ings, and have found t'ru da years I'm betta suited healing den killin'.

(IC) How would you describe yourself?
- Uhhh... tall, lanky.. .blue ....uhh... whut da hell kinda question is dis anyway? Kinda vague...

(IC) How many "Honorable" Kills do the Battlemasters currently have recorded for you?
- Ehmm.. well, ya see.. I ain't so great at killin' t'ings... so, last I checked.. 938. But get me in da mood an' I can get da higher...

(IC) What drives you in life? How would the Grim benefit from having you among its ranks?
- Bein' da best mender I can be is whut drives me. I enjoy learnin' new ways to treat mah comrades ailments. I even went to some school some years back... Ain't sure if ya's heard o' it... Silvermoon University? Yah.. I ain't learn anyt'ing from dem really... Anyway... I t'ink you Grimmies know whut ol' Tusky brings to da table, but for thems who ain't, ya best believe I'm knowin' whut I do. For I be doin' it well, despite bein' out o' da loop fer so long.

(IC) What did you do prior to The Grim?
- Mostly just wanderin' 'round.. Jabberin' at ol' friends, or helpin' Grimmy-grims when dey be needin' mah help. Sleepin'. Cookin'. Eatin'. Crochetin'....Fu...well, ya ain't needin' to know DAT much.

(IC) What are your thoughts on the pact between the Alliance and the Warchief Thrall?
- I t'ink it's just a load o' crap. Dem hoomans t'inkin dey own dis world... All dem Alliance be good for, is seasonin' mah soups and stews. Da Warchief, as noble as his cause is in da grand scheme o' tings, ain't gonna settle whut wrong-doin's been already done in da past. Dat hatred of da past breeds vengeance; the likes o' which we'll wreck upon dem savages.

(OOC) The Grim is a role-playing guild that requires full immersion (heavy RP) of their members. What does that mean to you?
- The way I've always seen roleplay in general is: 'How does my character fit into the grand scheme of this fantasy world? And what can I do to make him different than those whom also play, to make the game interesting?' I have no problem with character immersion, as I always RP around those whom RP in the game. It's enjoyable, especially as Tuskinar.

(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?
- Tuskinar is a fairly eccentric character compared to most Grim folks. He is blatantly honest, to the point of telling hurtful truths, even toward friends, but he doesn't really know of any other way. The Grim's Mandate fits into storyline because, for every alliance killed... Tusk gets more fodder for his varied and unique food collection. Therefore, he will go through the necessary means to ensure the gain of said fodder.

(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 playing on AOL (yes, laugh all you want) since I was about 13 years old. Never done tabletop, but have found it somewhat interesting from what others have told me of it. I do have some WoW RP experience, having had my former main in The Grim [Grengori, the fail tauren warrior] and Tuskinar as well, so I'm familiar with it. I tend to do more in-game interactions than posting anymore, though. :)

(OOC) Do you have any previous WoW experience? (PvP, Raiding, Battlegrounds, Different Servers, Different Guilds, Different Factions, etc.)
- I've been playing WoW since just before Burning Crusades came out. My old main on Twisting Nether was Grengori, but I sucked ass at playing a warrior at the time, so I'd re-rolled as a priest and found it more to my liking. However, I fell out of raiding heavily when Sarth 3-D was the main progression content , so I decided to roll a character on Ysera, which is where I USED to play primarily. However, I've come back to Twisting Nether since most of my friends there don't play anymore. I have some PvP experience on my mage but I really don't enjoy it much in general, except for in times of extreme boredom.

In WotLK, I have killed 11/12 in ICC10 normal mode and up to Putricide on 25-man, so my 25-man experience is somewhat lacking due to being a casual raider. But I learn fast most of the time.

I have absolutely no Cataclysm raid experience beyond doing Baradin Hold. Wiped a lot on Magmaw about a year ago but that is about it.


(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?
- Mostly, I'm just looking for a place to put Tuskinar. Most of my friends who play on this server are in The Grim, and I miss the interaction with the lot of them. I have no real expectations from the guild either. I just want to have fun with like-minded people who enjoy the 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 Aquizit.
- My schedule is pretty open for the time being. Sunday nights are bad usually due to a prior commitment, and my availability may range some in the coming weeks due to my mother getting double knee replacement surgery - and the load of household responsibility falling on my shoulders.



(OOC) Please provide an armory link to your character for verification.
- http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/t ... nar/simple Yes, he has some DPS gear in certain slots but will upgrade those when they come along.

(IC/OOC) Do you have anything further to add?
- I do, actually. I'd like to thank Anaie's player Ron for giving me the chance to even play WoW again; he provided me three months of game time in exchange for an oozeling I'd found on my brother's beta Cata account.... >:D Anyway, that being said.... after late January I may or may not be around, it really depends on my monetary situation at that point. I hope you'll still take me in despite that! Also.. my main priority in-game isn't necessarily raiding... I'd prefer being an alternate of sorts, since I haven't done any Firelands or anything like that and refuse to hinder a raid. On a brighter note, I've found that I enjoy farming for some reason; ore, herbs, and cloth so if anyone needs something just ask! Just ask Coyotl if you don't believe me. ^_^

Peace through Annihilation!!

All seems in order. Seek out an inquisitor.
