Hello there. Having pestered Ffion with questions and by coincidence grouping with two other members of the House later this evening, I've decided to apply for membership. I am currently level 42 and play about 2-3 evenings a week.
Character Name: Ferox
Character Race: Aquilonian
Character Age: 27
Character Class: Conqueror
Character Profession skills: Armoursmith/Gem cutting
IC-Reason to join the House of Tanisius:
Ferox has been a soldier for a decade now. A fighter bred with the discipline, tenacity and a sense of duty that the legions of Aquilonia install in a man. Another thing the legions give you is a knee-jerk loyalty to your homeland. Ferox is frustrated by the lack of firm response to the Nermidian aggression, not seeing the greater political implications. If the House of Tanisius is indeed intend on taking a more assertive approach, then he will gladly offer his sword and armour in its service.
What can I offer to the House of Tanisius (Both IC and OOC):
A steady, social and experienced brother in arms. I am practicing my PvE tanking skills but I’m also curious to see if I can make a decent PvP tank out of Ferox. Someone who can keep his team standing through the battle. I’ve no idea if that’s within the possibilities of the game, to be fair.
Background story:
Ferox likes to say that he was more or less raised in the army of Aquilonia, that he comes from a family of soldiers and leave it at that.
In truth he was indeed raised by the army but that was because he joined as an adolescent giving the choice between signing up or going to jail for petty theft (well ok, several incidents of petty theft and a mugging). From what he could gather he is pretty sure his father was a mercenary, Ferox even met him once or twice when he was a young boy.
It doesn’t really matter to Ferox. He isn’t one to dwell on the past. Instead, he tries to take things one day at a time while working out a long term strategy to find his place in the world and protect his homeland.
Former experiences of MMO:s and roleplaying:
World of Warcraft (we are Legion).
Been playing pen and paper rpg’s for a long time. It has become more of a social thing over the years as it’s a great way to meet up with friends on a (semi-)regular basis. I’m currently running a Demon: the Fallen game.
