The class I shall be playing as is Jedi Knight

2b. Advanced Class (if decided):*

As of right now I plan on going Jedi Sentinal but I have been thinking about Jedi Guardian.

3. Please describe your knowledge of Star Wars? The more detailed the better, please:

I have watched the movies 1-6 at least 7 times. I haven't read any of the books though. I have spent countless hours reading through wookiepedia. I am more found of the Old Republic era. (I know I am a blasphemer)

4. Please tell us about your other guild/MMO experiences. If there is more than one guild/experience, please include all of them. If you left your last guild, please tell us why you decided to leave. If you have used more than one name, please list them all.*

-Name: Beawolf
-Level: 80; 75; 45; 37;
-Server: Sylph
-Class: Paladin, Samurai, Warrior; Ninja (all respectively)
-Race: Human.

The reason I left was do to the fact that I needed a change and I left the game. I parted on good terms with everyone though. To be honest I never really got into the end game due to the fact that once content is coverd it was very hard to catch up to everyone else. That really didn't stop me from enjoying the game as much as possable or learn how to do my job/class well.

5. What type of role do you wish to take within the guild? How do you plan to be active? Please be specific.*

I honestly can say I've never been an "offical" officer in my guild but I have takin on the responsibility of one for a short time. Reason I didnt stay as one was do to my work restraints. I am just happy to fall in line with the rest.

6. Why do you feel the Army of Light is a good fit for you?*

Well I read through your mission statement I guess and I just want to be part of a guild thats VERY gung-ho about everything, I miss that most of FFXI.

7. What do you expect of the guild? Please be specific.*

I expect a friendly yet serious form of mind from a guild and I believe I would get that from this one.

8. Age* (Must be 16+):

23

9. Time Zone:*

EST

10.Role-Play experience/expectations. Can you give us some examples of Role-Playing you have participated in before. When it comes to expectations, give us an example of what would be fun to participate in, what you are looking for, etc.*

I've had a bit of experiance role-playing for a few months a couple of years ago during my D&D days. The only real problem Is the start after that it all flows like a harpoon. Nut mostly I would like a fair easy role-play start.

11. How can you benefit and help the guild? Please include any skills or talents you have that you would enjoy doing within the guild. How have you helped your previous guild(s), if you have previous experience?*

Well Like I said earlier I was an officer for a short while. After I stepped down from my post as an officer I took up starting static partys. (It was were people in our guild could get together at specific time with the same people and party, either leveling or trying to get story done) In this guild I would bring some of that if possable. Also I am looking to get into crafting with this game.

12. How do you define a quality member?*

Someone willing to put forth an effort, someone who is honorable and trustworthy.

13. How did you find the Army of Light? Did someone recruit you? If so, please let us know who.*

SWTOR.com to be honest.

14a.Have you visited our website and chat room, and familiarized yourself with the, Charter, Mission Statement, and Rules of Conduct? (You must answer in the affirmative and please prove that you have)*

I have visited the website and I have read over the Charter, Mission Statement and Rules of Conduct.

14b. Do you pledge to fulfill them, most notably to uphold the virtues of Maturity, Honor, Respect, Personal Ethics and No Drama?*

*Right hand over heart* I DO!

14c. The Army of Light wishes to have members who take the concept of Commitment and Loyalty very seriously. By applying and if accepted, you are taking an Oath to both the guild and your guild-mates here. Is this something to which you can commit?

My only real concern Is that after a certain amount of time I do wish to play darkside Just for the story but I will never abandon my main or guild.

15. Would you say that you embody the qualities of Respect, Honor, Loyalty, and Maturity? What are your definitions of these four words? Please don’t just answer yes or no, let us know why you think you possess these qualities.*

Would I say that I embody those characteristics? Well I could say "Yes, I do" like everyone else but to me personally I would rather show (in game) what they mean to me and how I define them. But If you must I will tell.

Respect: How one treats and is treated. I am a firm believer of giving respect to people, peers, off the bat but through actions people lose my respect.

Honor: I believe that this sorta goes hand in hand with respect in a sense. I also believe that honor is based on ones words. If I say I will be there, I will be there.

Loyalty: Is something given to a leader and return respect or even support should be givin from said leader. I would like to say that I have loyalty due to the amount of work I put into this application. I think it shows dedication, and that, to me, is the building blocks of Loyalty.

Maturity: Not acting like a child? No starting arguements that sort of thing. Also If there are plans be there. If you have real life commentments let leader of said activity know a head of time.

16. Tell us about a time you offered assistance to someone who did not ask for it but clearly needed it. If you have never had this experience, tell us what you would do if faced with that situation?

Well I have a great in-game story. So I was playing Final Fantasy XI and I was camping a mob as my paladin for one of my low level classes. I noticed an exp party that was wiping pretty bad so instead of camping my mob I just stood back and helped heal the party. Due to that, I gained a few friends and I found my guild that I was in for awhile.

17. Role-play Scenario (please tell us how you would handle the situation): You are leading a group of 3 others through a forest on a remote moon to destroy an enemy communications relay. Up ahead in a clearing, you happen to spot a small Sith camp. Your group has not yet been spotted by the enemy. You are reasonably well supplied for your mission, including armaments. The clearing containing the Sith camp is not necessarily in your direct path to reach your original mission objective. Attacking the camp could alert the guards at the relay. However, attacking the relay without first dealing with the camp could mean enemy reinforcements from the camp. What do you do?

Well I am going to try to answer this as best as possible.
For starters I would assess the situation regarding how many sith there are. If it is a small camp of 5-8, I would (presuming we have a "stealth" player) send them into the rear. As soon as said player is in position, I would have my dps rush into battle followed by the tank and healer and storm the camp while the other is working their way to the group.

18. In more than 50 but less than 200 words, please describe your personal character and the type of person you are (We wish to get a good feel of the type of person that will be becoming a part of our guild family - a very important question!)*

I am a joker as one would put it but I am also serious at times. I am very light hearted but when crunch time comes you can count on me.

19. Tell us a little about your in-game character*
-Character Name: Talohn Jerriko
-Character Physical/Mental Features:
-Character Biography:
Well my character Talohn, is a man who believes that in the heat of battle, if you take things too seriously you could wind up dead. He is a guy who is naturally light hearted. He loves to joke around, but when trouble rears its ugly head he will not back down. My character is a lot like me I suppose. (I will get more into the character past and every such thing as the release date comes closer with more details.)


20. What is your registered user name on swtor.com?*

What kind of job? (think harder... it must be a dirty joke)

Anyway, glad you're accepted mate.

Thanks for all the warm regards guys. I appreciate it. just a quick question.. when Jephos says post an introduction to yourself in the RP forums, does he mean the personal introduction or an actual RP introduction?

New Members Introduction section. But if you want to put something under Members Biographies I highly suggest that too.
