Well, I haven't played the original KOTORS, but Cormac has, and he tells me about them. From what I gatherd, there were the Mandalorian Wars, after the Great Hyperspace War, I think. The main character was...Revan, I think. Yep, thats right. And the main villian is Darth Malak(says my Star Wars encyclopedia). In the second KOTOR, the main villian was Darth Traya, Sion, and Nihilus. Darth Nihilus owned a ship called the Ravager. I have seen all the movies multiple times, thats mandatory! Also, from 22-19 B.B.Y the clone wars was going on.

I like organized and smart guilds, and you guys seem very smart and organized.
7. What do you expect of the guild? Please be specific.*

Cormac Darjay recruited.

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.*
Yes, I think I posess them. For maturity, I don't talk about "dirty things" anywhere, and I never do things that most consider immature. For Respect, I respect my elders(small joke, if I may), and I respect teachers, friends, family, as long as they are nice to people. For Honor, I guess you want something like how I fight. Truth, I have never fought anyone, but if I had, I know to never strike a foe when he is down. For Loyalty, I am loyal to all of my friends. I have known Cormac for a long time in RL, just ask him. I really hope this answer is satisfactory now.

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?
I helped my grandma after her house was flooded (we get a lot of those), and she didn't ask me to help, but she definetly needed it
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?
I bypass the camp, and I only attack the relay. I don't want to risk their lives when it isn't neccesary.
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'm a smart person, I have a plan for everything, I can get out of any situation, I call for back up when needed, I do not try and tough it out, I always have strategic moves, never wild, unthought out moves, I plan ahead, I think twice, before speaking espicially, I'm strong, and I can be a good leader, if needed, and finally, I'm resourseful.

19. Tell us a little about your in-game character*
-Character Name: Tyko Lordvale
-Character Physical/Mental Features: Strong but is lacking a good foundation.
-Character Biography: Tyko fought well on his home planet, which is Kashykk, mostly during civil wars. He isn't a Wookie, though. He is already battle-hardened, but lacks a foundation. So he decided to come here, and apply for apprenticeship.
20. What is your registered user name on swtor.com
CTlordvale

Good job!

Not, bad, but it is lacking a good solid body. Might I suggest looking at others applications who were accepted and base yours off of that, maybe change number fifteen. Fifteen is a very important question, ans is taken seriously, so adding a bit more would help a lot. You seem like a nice person, and I hope you make it. Good luck!

no offence but i just dont belive this will do in my opinion i agree with the post above me you should read the other appliactions its like you just went right at it you should try and take your time with application

15 ask you what you know about these 4 words what do they mean and tell us exactly why u got these 4 inside of you. question 15 is tricky for few poeple hehe.

but yeah it seems your rushed threw it

Yeah, i'm not the only one. Definitely revise your app.

Greetings Tyko,

I have spoken with Cormac about your Application and understand that you have worked diligently on it. However, our new Recruitment Rules state that an Application must be exceptional in order for those under 16 to now be considered for membership. I would take the advice offered here to heart, and review other accepted Applications to see what we are looking for. Lengthy, well-thought out answers with proper use of spelling and grammar will go a long way.

I look forward to your success and wish you luck in your endeavor.

Your Application status will be put on hold until such time as it is passable.

Thank you for your interest in the Army of Light.

Warmest regards,
Grand Master Jephos Mispir
Founder of the Army of Light

Taking a look at other accepted APP will help you out alot.

Take time with your application, this shouldn't be taken lightly as it decides if your in or out.

Yeah, Tyko, revise it.

well, you may be a jedi, but we still want you!

Nice to see some positive things now, eh Tyko?

in question number 2, you just say jedi, my advice is to be more specific, if you want to be Jedi Knight or Jedi Consular, you know the guild may be in greater need on one or the other.

We could use more healers....Sages in this case.

Good Luck

Thanks everybody I like the positive comments

That's what our guild does. We support our members, even our To-be members. Through thick and thin. Through times of peace and war. We stand as one.

Yes, Tyko, that is why we are so awesome.

Yeah, we are pretty awesome, and your application looks better, but still try to go all out on it. This application is Gannondorf at the end of each Zelda game, and you need to slay him. (Though it is annoying how he always comes back for the next game)

In response to Hector's idea: "Yes, I am going to be a Jedi Gaurdian."
I am posting this because I know what he will be, and want to answer that, since he is pressed for time, as of now.

good luck my friend.....

Tell them your gonna play a smuggler and look to Aone for all the toolage required, on second thought, that may get us both kicked out!!!!! LOL

But we need smugglers....

Greetings Tyko,

Your Application is now Under Review by the Recruitment Council.

If you wish to make any additional changes -- such as expanding upon some of your answers, making any corrections you feel are needed, etc -- please do so now.

You will receive a response shortly, usually within 48 hours.

Thank you for your interest in The Army of Light.

Warmest regards,
Grand Master Jephos Mispir
Founder of the Army of Light

Good Work, Tyko! Just check them now, and you might get accepted!

Greetings Tyko,

Thank you for editing your Application the way you have and trying to obtain guild standards.

Your Application has been Approved, though this does not automatically mean membership will be granted.

Your next step upon the Path is to pass your Trial Membership.

You will need to:
- Post 15 meaningful posts on the Forums
- Post an Introduction of yourself (RP) on the Forums
- Create a registered Forums profile, complete with avatar
- Obtain an avatar for use in our Xat chats (primary room is our Embassy Chat)
- While in chat, make your name [AL]Initiate Tyko Lordvale
- Register with the guild on the SW:TOR site at http://www.swtor.com/guilds/5501/army-light


Because of the difficulties you suffered during the Application period, I am extending your Trial Membership period to 3 weeks, after which time myself, the Recruitment Council, and your fellow guild members will decide if you are a proper fit for the Army of Light. After this 3 week period, you must then interview with myself or Supreme Master Caliber Mispir to pass into Full Membership. It is at this step that you will either progress with the guild or be parted from us.

With that successfully completed, you will report to the Jedi branch leaders (Supreme Master Caliber Mispir or Master Councilor Shoja Fodun) for general class branch training and to General Bren Durron for Squadron/Platoon assignment. Squadrons will act as your home within your home and help acclimate you to guild life and try to answer any questions you may have.

Also, we foster an Open Door Policy here at the Army of Light. Should you ever have a question or difficulty, or simply need to talk over an issue, please send me a PM here on the Forums.

Best of luck to you.

Warmest regards,
Grand Master Jephos Mispir
Founder of the Army of Light
