1.) Character Name: Cassius Akecheta
2.) Class: Smuggler
3.) Please describe your knowledge of Star Wars?
I've been around Star Wars all my life. My brother had the action figures that I would play with daily and ever since watching Ep.6: Return of the Jedi, I have been hooked. Lately, I have finished my fourth playthrough of the KOTOR series. So, I would consider myself adept in that area of Star Wars history.
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.
Guild Name(Reason for leaving if applies): Advanced Rebellion , left because of drama.
Game: Pre-launch SWTOR / SW: Empire At War
Name: Traven Khaar
Class: Jedi Knight / Trooper
Rank: Jedi Knight / Trooper Sgt.
Experience: I had a great experience at this guild, and considering it was my first SWTOR guild it really pulled me into getting interested in SWTOR.
Guild Name(Reason for leaving if applies): Prime Defense , left because personal issues made it impossible to visit thier site and I was forced to resign my council position.
Game:Pre-Launch SWTOR
Name: Cassius Akecheta
Class: Jedi Knight
Rank: Jedi Master, council member
Experience: This was perhaps my greatest guild experience. I joined about a month after the guilds creation and quickly rose through the ranks to become a moderator of the guild and a council member.Unfortnately, personel issues rendered me unable to continue my time there.
5.) What type of role do you wish to take within the guild? Howdo you plan to be active?Please be specific.*
In my past guilds i have always been a teacher, one thats always there to pass my wisdom and knowledge to those who are willing to listen and learn ( i'm guessing i need to be qualified by the guild to do this). I would love the chance to prove myself. I plan to very active these following months as we longingly await the release of SWTOR. In-game i would be mostly PvP, so i could teach newcomers basic tactics and such, but i also enjoy PvE and would not mind playing a farming role when the need arises.
6.)Why do you feel the Army of Light is a good fit for you?
I am a pretty hardcore RP'r and there seems to be plenty of that to go around. I have spent some time in the Citidel and the members here seem to be mature, humorous, and well mannered. All three of those are always welcome in my book. Numbers is always second to personality and skill to me but this guild has both and i believe that AoL will be a powerful force, not only militaristically but also diplomatically, once SWTOR hits the shelves.
7.)What do you expect of the guild? Please be specific.
All i ask is that this guild maintain the same level of friendliness and maturity that has been demonstrated to me in the chat ( although i completely understand that life moves us all along different paths, and sometimes we cannot control the events that might change us for better or worse). And being active would be welcomed too

9.) PST
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 are you looking for, etc.*
I have been Role-Playing since my very first guild so i would consider myself experianced in that case. For example, I have participated in forum RP's and scenario RP's. I have limited experience in Battle RP's though, so i would like to expand my knowledge in that area. I always find Small 3-5 man RP's the most enjoyable, where everything is organized and well thought out. I'm not a big fan of large RP's (8-10 people) because in my experiance things turn to chaos very quickly. I am very excited to see how this guild plays out its RP's.
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 guilds, if you have previous experiance?*
I have some experience with making videos so perhaps I could help make a guild recruitment vid. if one has not already been created. In my circle of friends i am known as a problem solver ( mostly diplomatically), I can see both sides of a problem and reach a solution before it escalates to something bigger.
12.)How do you define a quality member?
A quality member is someone who is true to their word and always willing to help when they have the time. For example, if someone asks you to do something and you say "I'll get right on it." Then you get right on it, not wait for a couple of days then do it ( although if something is keeping you away from the comp. or preventing you from helping that person it is understandable.) A quality member is also honerable and respectful. They do not go around making fools of themselves, especially around other guilds, because if a guild sees a immature and disrespectful member thats how they view the guild that person belongs to.
13.)How did you find the Army of Light? Did someone recruit you? If so, please let us know who.
I found this guild while browsing through the guild recruitment section on swtor.com. I recognized Master Jephos Mispir from some time i spent in NJO, I believe, and thought " If this guy has a guild it must pretty dang good!"
14a.)Have you visited our website and chatroom, 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 read through the Rules of Conduct for both forums and chat, but i cannot find the Charter and Mission Statement.
14b.)Do you pledge to fulfull them, most notably to uphold the virtues of Maturity, Honor, Respect, Personel Ethics and No Drama?
Yes 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?
Yes I can.
15.)Would you say that you embody the qualities of Respect, Honor, Loyalty, and Maturty? What are your definitions of these four words? Please don't just answer yes or no, let us know why you think you posses these qualities.
- Honor: To me, Honor is the embodiment of fairness and integrity. I live by a code of honor everyday, I am not blind to both sides of a problem and am always as fair as possible. I would never do anything to dishonor my name, if my friends want me to do something stupid so they can laugh at me then they can forget it.
- Respect: I can respect everybody, once i get to know them, i can find strong points in everyone and support them. I have the highest respect for leaders because from experiance i know that they have alot to do sometimes limited time to do it. I also have respect for those who are younger and less fortunate, younger because they still might have lots of questions and when they dont "fit in" its only because they need more experiance. I know that life is sometimes tough and i salute those who go through it and come out standing tall.
- Loyalty:If someone is loyal then that person would do almost anything to make sure that whatever he has placed his loyalties in comes out on top,whether its orders or just an extra activity. I know where my loyalties stand. I would never do anything to betray the trust that others have placed in me or do anything that would harm the people that i call friends.
- Maturity: To me maturity is the strive for perfection( although most of us know one person can never be absolutely perfect). Maturity has no age, as long as that person is willing to strive for perfection then he/she is mature. I try to be as mature as possible everyday( that doesnt mean i dont like to have a good time!) although i know its an unobtainable goal.
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 have grown up with this virtue all my life. In one particular instance there was an elderly couple, both
very frail, who ended up parking on the far side of my church ( about a one hundred yard walk ). They both could clearly not make the walk as they were so i went up to thier car and told them that i would trade them spots, I had used my dads VIP parking spot ( him being the pastor), but switched with the couple so they would not have to walk so far. It wasnt to big of a deal but its the small things that sometimes make the biggest difference in peoples days.
17.)Role-Play Scenario (please tell us how you would handle the situation): You are leading a group of three 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?
The first thing i would do is scope out the base, see what there forces and defenses are. If i had a recon trooper i would put him up in a tree and tell him to keep an eye on the base, he would be able to give us a heads up if the sith forces go to help the comm station. Then i would take the other three and head for the comm station.
18.)In more than 50 but less than 200 words, please describe your personel character and the type of person you are.
I am a very dedicated and loyal member that will make sure this guild succeeds to the best of my abilities. I am a very friendly person who is always open to conversation and always looking to make new friends. I love to share in peoples experiances and i also love to share mine, which i think my love of Role Playing comes from. I also like to consider myself a problem solver, who is always willing to help whether it be a personal problem or a simple favor.
19.) Tell us a little about your in game character.
