Abdul Haamar's Application (Approved)

1. Name:

Abdul Haamar

2a. Primary Class:

Jedi Knight.

2b. Advanced Class:

Jedi Sentinel.

3. Knowledge:

Well, chronologically, my knowledge of Star Wars history begins with the Rakatan Empire and becomes shady shortly after the Thrawn Crisis. I have an approach to the Force akin to that of Revan and Jolee Bindo, where you sometimes must commit actions of the Dark Side for the greater good (Revan [Attacked the Republic to strengthen and prepare it against the threat from the unknown regions, the Sith Empire that is faced in TOR]), and that romance is not a sure-way to fall to the Dark-Side (Jolee Bindo) and that there can truly be a grey side of the force (Bindo again) I know much more, but these are my basic views of Star Wars History and the Force.

4. MMO experiences:

I have participated in many MMO's, but the one that have Guilds or the like include Vast Empire and Evony.

Guild Name: ROME
-Game: Evony
-Name: Abdul
-Level: (Prestige) 7,404,290
-Server: SS56
-Class: N/A
-Race: Human



5. Role:

The role I wish to take in the guild is supporter, debater, and learner. I wish to learn and argue with other's views, but in a constructive way. Plan to be active: Will be receiving a new laptop soon so plan to participate from there. Until then will be here through public computer and cell phone.

6. Why the Army of Light is Fitting:

I think the Army of Light is fitting for me because they are a RP and PvE guild. Also, I have read the books and know of the Army of Light that was lead by Lord Hoth and his great sacrifice. Also, the guild suits TOR because the Army of Light lead by Lord Hoth was composed of not only Jedi, but troopers and other personnel.

7. Expectations:

My expectations are a tolerant and friendly environment in the guild. Also, I expect them to encourage growth to me and other members.

8. Age:

16 years old.

9. Time Zone:

(UTC-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada).

10. Role-Play experience:

Vast Empire. Played as a new Imperial Recruit during the Galactic Rebellion and moved my way up to sergeant.

RP Expectations:

Role Playing with a strong sense of brotherhood, bonding, camaraderie. Also, a lot of action and tasteful twists.

11. Benefits to Guild:

I am an amiable person who loves to write and encourage people. I also enjoy poking hole's in other people's statements, and commending them if there aren't any.

Skills:

Proficient in the English language and do not mind looking up information to see if someone else's doesn't match up, if there is time.

12. Definition of a Quality Member:

A dedicated, honest, and blunt person who is not scared to speak his mind, or encourage others, even if it means being a little... unorthodox.

13. How I found the Army of Light:

Was browsing on swtor.com and saw the name of the guild, which appealed to me.

14a.Have you visited our website and chat room, and familiarized yourself with the, Charter, Mission Statement, and Rules of Conduct:

I have visited and familiarized myself with the Charter, Mission Statement, and Rules of Conduct. I have yet to visit the Chat Room.

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

Yes, I do so pledge.

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?:

Yes, I can commit.

15. Would you say that you embody the qualities of Respect, Honor, Loyalty, and Maturity?:

Yes I do, for I show regard or consideration for others, if they deserve it (Respect). I know what underhanded moves are and hate them (Honor). I truly dedicate myself to something if it deserves that dedication (Loyalty). I know what is means to lets some things go and answer in an educated way (Maturity).

16. Tell us about a time you offered assistance to someone who did not ask for it but clearly needed it:

I have been helping and mentoring underclassmen, fellow teammates, and friends ever since I joined the High school.

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?:

In this situation, I would undoubtedly go and attack the Sith camp, but do my best to keep the ammunition used to a minimum and definitely make sure the groups does not suffer casualties. First, I would try to use the advantage of surprise to take down as many of the Sith as the group and I can. If we do not take them all out, we will lead them to a trap previously set up or manipulate the Sith camp to funnel through a choke point, and take them on in small numbers. Afterwards, the group and I would proceed to the Relay station, and fight as hard as necessary, whether they be alerted or not.

19. Tell us a little about your in-game character:

-Character Name: Abdul Haamar
-Character Mental Features: Easily pleased or frustrated, and suddenly stoic at times.
-Character Biography: Raised by neither of his parents, Abdul was forced to live on his own in the streets of Tatooine as a slum dweller, and did not receive any formal education.To survive, he apprenticed himself to brawlers, bounty hunters, professional fighters, and soldiers past their prime, and learned to be an expert at the use of blades, unarmed combat, and throwing of projectiles. By the Age of 15, he was a young prodigy in many cities on Tatooine. But, despite his physical prowess, he was not satisfied. Even though he had the skills, he didn't want to turn to crime, for than he would be proving right the label he had been given and the label he hated, "scum." But, he had no skill at programming, machinery, or communication with other beings, and as a result could not find honest work. A month after he turned 15, he decided he was going nowhere on Tatooine and smuggled himself aboard a Republic recruiting ship heading for Coruscant. Abdul enjoyed 2 months of anonymous bliss on the city-planet, learning how to interact with people and finding a job as a construction worker at a small-time contractor. Then, with the war against the Sith Empire, jedi were patrolling lower Coruscant and discovered Abdul (wondering whether to eleaborate), and also found that he had a small affinity with the Force. With the uneasy truce between the Sith Empire and the Galactic Republic, jedi were in great demand and so, Abdul was pressed into the Jedi Order. After 3 years of hard specialized training due to his late acceptance, Abdul was bestowed the title of Jedi Sentinel. He was given this title for his extraordinary skill with a lightsaber, but also for his lack of skill with telekinesis and manipulation, even though he was proficient at channeling the force within his body to borrow strength, speed, and supernatural reflexes. Abdul has spent most of his time training, because from his time on Tatooine, he can tell when a truce is about to be betrayed...

No, it is not my real name and the name having a middle eastern ring to it was intended.

No I was just considering as I knew it was a name in the real life world, I was wondering if he was using his real life name for his gaming, which I don't recommend using not discriminating. No offense attended Grand Master nor to you Abdul.

good luck man

No harm done. Actually, thank you both, Master Mispir and Coddy. I understand that Coddy was only looking out for my security by making sure I didn't reveal my real name, and am grateful that Master Mispir was looking out for any...distasteful remarks.

Congrats Abdul, welcome.
