[TOR] Welcome Althion! {RC}

[Althion]

I happened across the Saga guild recruitment thread over at SW:TOR and thought I'd poke around a bit more.  It was tough reading the informative FAQ - I was busy doing my "Launch Announcement" happy dance! 

Saga sounds excellent!  I love smaller guilds of friends who like to integrate themselves with the story of each game they play.  I was with a similar group in DAoC, World of Warcraft and into LotRO.  Sadly, we have parted ways because the 10 of us had different schedules.  So here I am looking for a home come December -- or maybe I could bump into some of you later this week? 

SW:TOR is what I hoped SWG would be.  I suspect I will play the game for a long time, like I did with Warcraft.  I like being a team player and roleplaying as I adventure through the worlds the developers give us.  Generally I play goodie goodie characters with some sort of support class.  My favorite part of gaming is small group adventures - questing and instances.  But I also like to dabble in crafting and pvp.  I like hanging out in cantinas/inns for brief periods (30 minutes or so usually) but find that online chat is a terrible medium to try and convey complex character stories - so I don't do a lot of IC drama. 

For SW:TOR, my main character concept is a togruta jedi consular (probably telekinetic if crowd control is important; if not then shadow for evasion tanking) who learns to subdue his primal passions as a togruta to follow the jedi ways.  If we can't play togruta out the gate, I will probably play a mirialan and re-roll togruta if/when they become available. 

That is until jawas become available - then I will be Darth Meep!    Although I felt guilty trying to make dark side choices back in Knights of the Old Republic.  So although the sith inquisitor looks flashier than the jedi consular, I prefer good aligned characters.

I hope to see you all in game one day long long ago!

Hullo! Good to hear from you! I particularly agree with the statements above. And if Jawas become playable maybe we can start an evil Jawa-only alt guild.

I'd like to reserve the name Darth Poodoo for my Jawa Marauder.   

[Noa]

Welcome Althion!

Jawas are the little creatures with the mobile chop shop, right? Where Luke gets C3PO and R2D2?

[meatgrin]

Hello and welcome.

[Althion]

Thank you for the warm welcomes.

Noa - jawas are indeed the little brown critters who have the mobile chop shops.  Come to think of it, jawas ran the first big box stores!

I doubt jawas would be a playable race, but as someone who generally plays hobbits, gnomes and dwarves, jawas are a funny daydream.  I like silly characters - Emett Kelly, Red Skelton, Abott and Costello, the Three Stooges and Buster Keaton are some classic favorites.

[PinkRose]

Thank you Althion, today I've learned who Emett Kelly is.
Welcome to Saga.
Don't mind Noa. She has an Ewok village in her living room.

[Jasyn]

Howdy, Althion.  Glad you found us. 

[Mixxi]

Yay! Another player of properly-proportioned races!

Welcome indeed.  We'll fill up a mug of ale for you and set out the pipeweed.

[Vilidius]

Welcome Althion - I'm very glad you found our forum here!  You certainly seem popular already, but then we have an entire not-so-secret society of short race appreciators here.  I've replied on the TOR forums, so for here I'll just say "welcome!" along with everyone else.

[Vilidius]

Successfully got in touch on the TOR forum and clarified that Althion had, without realizing it, fulfilled most of our applications process.  Really just lacking the part where he clicked the "apply" button.  So he's all recruited up now and I'm turning this into our "welcome" thread in the roster area.

Again, welcome!

[Sigil]

Welcome aboard.

[Cyrian]

Welcome!   Think I could get a sexy Jawa companion in a bikini?  or is it gonna be all brown robes

[Catri]

Welcome! Playable Jawas would be amazing! My main character in WOW is a dwarf, and I played a dwarf briefly in Rift as well. SWTOR for all its awesomness is definitely lacking in the area of diminutive options for player characters.

[RavenMiles]

Hi and welcome. 

[SerSunday]

Welcome!

I, too, enjoy dabbling with the races of lesser physical stature. Although I never fully committed to it, I'd use my gnomish illusion all the time in EQ. That counts, right?

[Vifi Sunfell]

Will I get bonus cookies if I play a human who is short-ish?  Or is there some minimum level/height ratio that I need to achieve?

[PinkRose]

Nope. Gfaux Gnomes don't count.
Though if you have hair in any place other then the top of your head, that counts a bit.

[Grimaldo]

Welcome Althion!

The galaxy needs more halflings!

[Vifi Sunfell]

I am not divulging where my character has or does not have hair.

And welcome Althion too, considering I didn't say so before. 

[Jasyn]

The galaxy needs more halflings!

Gnomes!  The galaxy needs more gnomes!
