Spiritwise

I thought I'd write a little bit about myself before we move on to the form, but the form is fully filled out below.

I'm a 20 year old Norwegian (viking!) studying for my bachelor-degree in Game-programming. I'm currently on vacation, starting studies the 20th again. I've raided for quite some time now on my alliance characters (70 rogue and 70 warrior), but I've grown tired of trying to lead us through the same bosses again and again, only to gain fractional satisfaction when we kill the same bosses we've killed time and time again. There's been alot of issues in our guild, and I'm one of the reasons they're still a guild, but I'm very tired of it. I'm tired of having to hold together everything, and I'm looking for something refreshing and new.
I began playing more and more on my beloved tauren shaman with my girlfriend, and now that he has hit 70 (the shaman ) I want to explore raiding with him.
I would love to apply with you, and devote all my time with you, but there are a few things holding me partly back, which I want taken into consideration regarding my application.

When I start studying again, there will be some late nights, but mostly there will be upredictability regarding raiding. I'll know about a week or two beforehand, but there will be many projects and things that can stop me from raiding a few days. Nevertheless, I'll do my best to raid 1-3 days per week, as that's what I can offer, as I need to nurture my relationships IRL aswell.
I know it's a bad thing to start off an application with negatives, but I want to make all of this known to you beforehand.

Now, on with the form!

Character Name: Spiritwise
Character Level: 70
Character Class: Shaman
100% restoration. It's been my plan since I picked this guy up again, I've wanted to have a healer all the time I've spent on WoW, and when this guy is now 70, I wanted him to be a healer.
So far I'm very happy with it, and I've been told I'm fairly good at it. So, as such, my job would be to heal, and only heal, I'm not interested in doing anything else with Spiritwise, and I've other characters to do other things on.

Real life age: 20

Game Experience: Although my game experience is qutie broad, I can't say I've experienced much on Spiritwise, as he was levled up after the Burning Crusade came out, and only just hit level 70.
My personal WoW-experience: MC, BWL, AQ20/40, Karazhan.
I was never a truly hardcore raider, and thus never had the chance to experience Naxxramas, I would very much like to though, some time.
I've personally led raids through: MC, BWL, AQ20, Karazhan.

Armoury Link: http://armory.wow-europe.com/charact...d&n=Spiritwise

Resistances: Viritually nonexistent, as I just hit 70. But should this be a problem, there's always the AH!

RP Background:
Spiritwise was raised without parents, by the goblins of Booty Bay. They were all like family to him, but as he grew into his teens, he felt I needed more from this life that business and profit - he felt like the earth was calling him, and decided to track down his kind, the taurens.
After travelling all the way to Thunder Bluff, his greeting was not as he hoped. The city was too big, and the same ideas of profit and business were found everywhere.
Distraught, he settled down in the inn, trying to enjoy a glass of fresh milk. Sitting there not knowing what to do, an elder tauren aproached him.
"You're a bit from home, aren't you?" the tauren asked,
"No, this is my home, but not what I'd expected..." Spiritwise said, sighing,
"No, this is not your home, Bloodhoof Village is." the tauren explained,
he went on about how Spiritwise had lost his parents far away from home as an infant, being brought with the goblins to Booty Bay to live.
"How could you recognise me?" Spiritwise asked,
the old tauren explained how your spirit never ages, and that he was just the same as back then.
"But you need to go now, to start your training!" the tauren said, showing him the route to get to Bloodhoof Village.

Not long after, Spiritwise arrived at Bloodhoof Village, finally feeling at home. The people there recognised him for who he were, and he was taken in by the shamen elders, helping him find his true calling.

When Spiritwise was done with his training, he ventured into the world seeking adventure and understanding of the elements.
Meeting his mate, Mareon the bloodelf, they travelled the world of Azeroth for a long time, before entering the gate to Outland, where they will continue their grand adventure...

-----------

Sorry, that got a bit long, but I get carried away. That is the story of my character.
I'm a fan of roleplaying, although I like to keep it simple and enjoyable, I'm not too much of a historian, but neither is Spiritwise, he is only seeking adventure.



Why do you want to join us: I wish to join you because I want to experience Karazhan and beyond on as a healer and as a shaman.

Do you know any libertines at the moment: Blacktalon/Rokthar.



Well, I guess that's about it. Hope you enjoyed the story, and that you'll take me into consideration, despite the problems I mentioned earlier.

-Spiritwise.

Blacktalon

From myself I can only add that random pugging can get you in touch with some really interesting personae ... as such was with Spiritwise

Dammit! You just saved Snub from permaspeccing resto if our healer situation were not to improve. Beh...doesn't mean we can't tease him still.

And though it seems bad to start with negatives, I tend to trust people who bring them up more than people who don't mention them at all. It shows a nice willingness to admit flaws and also - willingness to communicate.

Very nice application indeedy. *stops talking as if he was one of the senior members of the guild*

Spiritwise

Thanks for the replies so far, and so fast! Hehe..

About those negatives, I wanted to bring them up because they're something which seriously affects the way you consider people - I should know, I've worked alot with recruiting people.

I'd like to add though, that these problems are "perhaps"'es, problems which may happen, and I'll do my best to see that they don't.

Raiding wise we dont raid everynight, couple of nights in Kara and a raid with CoTV on sunday about covers it. Personaly i see very little problem with any of the Negatives ye list as we're not a full on raiding guild anyway.

In Truth all i'd like to see personaly in anyone who hoins the Libertines are:

1, If ye sign up for a raid turn up or give some notice that ye cant make it (not always possible but give notice whenever possible)

2, Bring a nice friendly persona to the guild and a willingness to just get stuck in (only room for one Grumpy old git and thats position is mine ok??)

3, Be able to put up with the rest of them in the guild.

In truth The Libertines works very similar to a family. We have a laugh (sometimes at each others expense),we disagree at times but like a family it isn't long before things are sorted out and we have fun with many different aspects of the game.

If all the above still hasn't put you off and the application still stands,in my personal opinion i'll look forward to chatting with yeself in guildchat very soon.

Hehe,

Hi Spiritwise,

Blacktalon mentioned you to me today before we started in Gruuls and that you'd posted an application.

As Snub said, we'll be in touch as soon as possible, and thanks for your interest in us! I've heard only nice things about you thus far but then again Blacktalon's usually high on caffiene so.. *giggles*

Anyway aye, we'll let you know asap!

Spiritwise

Thank you for the feedback. Double officer/guild leader/in charge person post!

There is one thing I forgot to mention...

I'm an addict.. Yes, it's true.. It's my clownish appearance which has driven me to it. I abuse Noggenfogger Elixir and Deviate Delights to escape from my horrendous equipment. *sobs quietly*
I won't stop! No! Not until my gear resembles a shamans again. *glares*

Looking forward to hearing from you again, and thanks for being so swift.

Snubson

Recruited 17/8/07
