[TOR] Welcome Althion! {RC}

[Alirrin]

The galaxy needs more halflings!

Gnomes!  The galaxy needs more gnomes!

And Gnarflings!  Pranks with explosives, now THAT'S comedy!

[Jasyn]

The word 'Gnarflings' makes me want to loosely base a proportionally superior hybridized race after these two chaps:

Do you have alternate characters?

How did you hear of us?

I had the fortunate timing to see the Saga recruitment thread within the first 3 pages of guild recruitment posts one day.

Is there anyone you have gotten to know from our family, IC or OOC?


What Roleplay games have you participated in?

Has anyone played Tales from the Floating Vagabond?  It was a pen and paper roleplaying game produced by Avalon Hill.  The premise is that your character steps into an establishment looking to buy alcohol.  As you step through the door, you are sucked through a multidimensional portal into the bar called "The Floating Vagabond".  You save the bar and universe from such evils as the Space Nazis, a group of abolitionists who have slogans such as "We don't drink, so neither should you."  It is a hilarious game that is sadly out of print.  It is well worth finding a copy though!

Earthdawn is another of my favorite pen and paper games.  I also played D&D when it came in a red box and elf was a class, not a race.  I loved RPing a wookie in Star Wars.  Back in the pen and paper game, one character was designated as the one who could understand you.  When you were co-located, you could speak normally.  When they were out of range or unconscious, you had to grunt and growl.  My wookie was very excitable and had a habit of running off after stuff that interested him.  Oh the good old days!

I have RPed in many online games too - SWG, DAoC, WoW, RIFT, etc.

What are you looking for as a member of our guild?

A group of friends with whom I can share adventures and fun times in whatever game we choose to play.  I put a lot of effort into looking for a good guild and hope it transcends online gaming into real friendships.

Have you read and agree to our Guild Policies and Guidelines?

I have read the policies and guidelines.  Further, I agree to abide by them.

Please answer the following three questions, IN CHARACTER:  The following answers are for Althion.

1. Tell us of your past.

Althion calls Corellia home.  He was noticed by Jedi Master Droga Sho, who sponsored Althion's admittance into the Temple on Coruscant.  After serving as a youngling, Master Sho took Althion as a padawan learner and brought him back to Corellia for further training.  However, unlike most Corellian Jedi, Master Sho was known to look beyond the Corellian sector and to the Republic as a greater sphere of influence.  Althion had just left for training on Corellia when the Sith strike on Coruscant took place.  Both Master Sho and Althion realize that in the wake of the Sith invasion, it was time to think of the Republic.  They worked to keep Corellia tied to the Republic lest their home be separated and conquered.

Master Droga Sho was known to take in other species as padawans - a practice not always popular with the Corellian Jedis who liked to focus on their own sector of the galaxy.  However, his teachings were to follow the Force and the good actions and results would speak for themselves.  He also was known to take on padawans with various skills and focuses, believing that all Jedi need to learn from one another.  This strong sensing of the force, rather than application to specific techniques was a hallmark of the Sho lineage of Jedi Masters.   

2. What hobbies and directives do you presently have?

As a junior Knight, Althion is looking to establish himself within the Jedi order.  While he would love to focus on the Corellian Sector, he realizes that now is a time of crisis and the Republic needs the support of Jedi everywhere.  His passion is replacing the knowledge lost when the Sith sacked the Temple on Coruscant.  Although, Althion would like to see the archives dispersed at various locations as a safety precaution.

When Althion has a bit of free time, he can be found wandering over hill and through dale with a traveller's pack and walking staff.  He enjoys camping and exploring in the wilds, where he feels closer to the Living Force.

3. Where do you see yourself in the future?

Althion would like to be part of the Corellian Jedi force with allies across the galaxy.  He would like to become one of the principle knowledge keepers on Corellia.
