Primula
1. Personal Information (Name, Age, Sex, Location etc... We'd like you to be through here, so we can get an idea about who you are)
Name: Nicola
Age: 25
Sex: Female (transgendered)
Location: England South Yorkshire

2. Character Information
Name: Primula (if it's available or some thing very simular i still need to make the character.
Race: Elyos
Class: Cleric
Reason for choosing this class:[/b ]in every game i've ever played i've always been the healer, my reasoning is because i'm one of those people that will go out of my way to help someone in dire need. If i spot a player about to get killed by a monster i jump in and support them till the monster is dead or. if i spot a player who has just gained aggro from a nearby mob or two whilst fighting another the same thing applies. I love just randombly buffing people and being able to help friends through tough quests that cannot be done without a healer. Party play is one of my favourite things in every online game so being the one to keep everyone alive and healthy albeit an important and sometimes hard task when you're new to a game and still learning how the healer class for that game works, but that just makes it all the more fun and rewarding when you master it.

[b]3. Where did you hear about us?

I was looking through the beta boards for a guild to join that will be going live into retail and found it listed in this post: Link

4. Why do you wish to join Semper Dius?
This guild seemed to stand out more than any other as a mature friendly yet hardcore guild. and after looking through one or two posts in the public part of the forums i know i'll enjoy being around the members so far.

5. What do you feel you can contribute to Semper Dius?(Experience, Skills, Attitude etc...)
In every MMO i've played i've always been the healer class so i'm an experienced healer, maybe not the best healer but i'm good enough to help get the job done. Skill wise, well if i find a good strategy to do something then i always share it with my guild even if it happens to lower my chances of selling things (savory Deviate Delights) for example in WoW early days and what healing spells to cast in what order and so forth for people who are playing the same class yet struggling. i'll spend time with such players till i feel that they are ready to fend for themselves sometimes just letting them do the work and stepping in when i see things getting too rough for them but only if i know that they're going to die, the way to learn is through practice, the best way to learn is through assisted practice learning from someone experienced in the class you're playing.
As for attitude, i've always been a pleasant person to be around. always helping guildees with anything i can be it healing them for a quest because those elites are giving them trouble, to searching online for tips and information that they're wanting to know even though they could do it themselves i really don't mind doing it because i just get a personal high from helping people out which in turn can lead to people depending on me sometimes but it's nice to know that people think so highly of you that they know that they can depend on you no matter what.

6. What previous experience do you have within a guild environment?
when i first started playing MMO's i didn't even know what a guild was till i started playing WoW but my first guild i was in put me off of guilds entirely for a long time to come. not wanting to say anthing bad towards them i'll leave it at that.
Later i did meet a really nice player who i befriended easily and they asked me to join their guild. i was hesitant at first given my previous guild experience but later that day accepted the invitation and have never regret it. I've had so many good memorable times with them that will last the decay of time. The guild I used to be in was the Seeds of Glory which i was in for the majority of my WoW playtime until my my friend that had got me into the guild had left. I then went on to join the same guild as she did although i was hesitant because i really loved the seeds and still do, i kept in touch with the seeds through a special chat channel even when i was in the other guild The Order of the Silver Dawn.

WoW character name: Primrosa
Guild Sites:
Seeds of Glory: Link
The Order of the Silver Dawn: Link

7a. What previous experience do you have within MMORPG's? List all your previous PvE/PvP/RvR experiences and achievements.
Well i started with Ultima Online but really couldn't get into it so it only lasted the trial period, Legend of Mir: i really enjoyed my time here, i enjoyed helping people that needed help with my Taoist and helping kill those people that were being a neiusance to new players.
LoM - Achievements: well nothing solid, i was still pretty young and still in education so i couldn't afford to pay a subscription. but what i did manage to achieve was good friends and respect from players around me.

Final Fantasy XI: i really enjoyed Playing FFXI it was the first P2P MMO i was able to pay for and i played the White Mage, Later to become a Summoner-White Mage.
FFXI - Achievements: i really fealt like i achieved alot with my character here because you really had to work hard to earn your summons and i managed to get all the summons except for Fenrir which was added later i think. and being able to save a party from destruction thanks to the 2 hour ability increasing the power of your Summoned creature was just awesome! and always recieved gratitude from your party members.

World of Warcraft: This was my favourite MMO for quite some time but after the first Expansion pack, it just seemed to loose some of it's shine and what made it unique. i still had alot of fun in Outland and Northrend in my time there.
WoW - Achievements: I feel that what i achieved in WoW to be something special. i achieved great friends who some i still keep in touch with on facebook but not so much the guild forums anymore, i really ought to really because i loved meeting up with them in Leeds and York. Also i fealt that i was becoming a good healer. not great because i was still learning how to raid heal when i quit, but i could heal the pants off of any 5man and any group quest in the outside world with just myself and 1 dps.

7b.What achievement stands out the most?
That would be the achievements i made in WoW. the good friends i made. the good times i had i will always remember them. also being able to be a dependable healer was a nice achievement for me. although i lacked raiding experience because i was never really into raiding i started to learn and enjoyed it and in one or 2 cases managed to save a wipe smile

8. Play times (A rough idea is adequate)
well for this beta i have this week and next week off of work. but here are the hours on which i'm most active GMT

10. Do you have access to a microphone or headset? (Requirement for interview/voicecom)
I do.

11. Do you consider yourself as a Casual/Mediocore/Semi-Hardcore or Hardcore player?
I'd have to say i'm Semi-Hardcore, mainly because of the amount of time and effort i put into the games i play. i'm not the best there is so i can't really class myself as Hardcore but even so i have a good time reguardless.

12. Are you in another clan/guild/legion at the moment?
i did apply to Join Hyperion earlier, but something happened with the main webpage and a certain discussion between the guildmaster and the Host of the site was leaked which has put me off of joining.
however my latest guild was the Order of the Silver Dawn, but in a failed attempt to give WoW life for me i transferred my character to an RP realm which just didn't do anything for me. Currently i'm not playing any MMO because thanks to Aion i was finally able to break free from WoW.

13. Are you applying to any other Aion guilds at the moment - be honest here, we do check
as stated above i did apply to Hyperion, but due to circumstances have had second thoughts and not re-applied for a position since the new website went live.


14. Additional information (Anything else you would like to add)
Being a transgendered female i'm often hesitant to speak on programs like ventrilo till i've gotten to know the people using it a little better. i will use it and follow instructions noted on it but if it's a requirement i have no problems in using it, i just ask for people's understanding of my situation and not to be suprised if my voice isn't quite what they're expecting wink
that aside i think i'd make a great contribution to your Legion as i'm friendly, polite, Honest to a fault (so much so it can get me into trouble because i have one major concience). I always show understanding towards people and try to help them out even with personal issues if i think i can help in some way or form even if it's just to be someone to talk to.
I'm looking forward to hearing if i manage to be accepted.
I hope to see you all in Legion Chat soon smile

Hello there Nicola,

Aion will be full of PvP hence we are going playing the game. (Can't wait to kill our old guildies in the Abyss evil)

What's your pvp experience with every game you've mentioned?

Well my first taster of PvP was with LoM it was a little one sided at times because you couldn't see their level so either you overpowered them or they overpowered you.
as for FFXI i never got into PvP on that.
However WoW is a different story, I did start out as a druid and converted to Feral. good times! i used to go to the battlegrounds daily and protect our healers in cat form, switching to bear when i have their attention. i was pretty good 1 on 1 as feral but i preffered the healing side to the druid so decided to go Resto with Balance as my second spec to save on inventory space. Needless to say people died very fast thanks to the 14k crits on Starfire and my Treants chipping away at their health whilst they're rooted to the spot helpless. healing side of it was good too. i was able to keep my closeby teammates healthy and fighting fit so long as they kept the rogues and locks and any other ranged attacker off of me even then i was able to heal them well.
All in all, i'm pretty experienced in both Close range and Healing for PvP
Close range: stick with the group, don't run off like a 1 man army to your inevitable death.
Healing. Stay close to at least one person in the back or mid-back of your group away from the enemy but not too far away from your team or they can't reach you in time to kill the stealther.

actually i'd like to correct my healing part, if i remember right being in the back was a bad idea. it left you vunerable to attack. stick close to your party but not too close to the combat.
