I have helped people in previous MMO's who clearly did not know much about the game. I always help my friends through their problems. I find it very fulfilling to help people even if i do not know them yet.


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 would send one group member to distract the Sith. He would alert them and then get away either by foot or vehicle if it is available. They would chase him away taking a lot of their numbers. This would leave the communications relay open for us to destroy. If there were more Sith left behind, we would have to deal with them.

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!)*
He has strong morals and would be considered light sight alignment in game. He is very logical and very good with technology. He enjoys modifying his rifles and building shield generators. He does not have the stereotypical trooper personality but he is very courageous and has strong integrity. He will do anything he can to help the republic and its citizens. When it comes to the people closest to him, he is willing to do anything to keep them safe. He is passionate about the republic and wants nothing more then to end the tyranny of the empire. He puts his friends before himself which is why he is always in the fray of combat taking blaster bolts. He is not a very good speaker and not very inspirational, but he always has a logical answer to a scenario.

19. Tell us a little about your in-game character*
-Character Name: Jerran Tankarri
-Character Physical/Mental Features: Slightly shorter then most troopers, standing at 5'8. He was often joked around with by his peers due to his logical thinking and being more intelligent and less shoot first ask questions later. He is not a leader to inspire his group, but he helps them by providing logical ways to get the task done.
-Character Biography: Jerran was born in a colony on Ord Mantell. Jerran's hobbies were building gadgets from spare parts. He considered the city to be his home. His father was in the republic army and his mother was a politician. They both moved from Corellia to the colony on Ord Mantell because Jerran's father was drafted to fight against the separatists. Jerran's father often inspired Jerran and tought him the good of the republic and how crucial it was to stop separatists and to end the empire. Jerran's father was killed by separatist forces in a battle. From that day forward, Jerran swore to become the best trooper he could be in his fathers name. His mother moved to coruscant and he joined the republic military.
