1. How much experience do you have with roleplaying? Have you played other MMORPGs? There's no wrong answer here.
I've been RPing since I was about 15 years old, PARA-RPing on MySpace for hours after-school. I started roleplaying on RPGs back when a game called "Jedi Knight 3: Jedi Academy came out. Through the use of mods, some friends of mine came out with the Burning Dawn clan. An overall Feudal Japan overhaul with custom maps, skins, music, and weapons. It was actually at that time I came up with my name that I still use to this day: Higashi. My favorite anime of all time is Eden of the East...but the proper Japanese name for it is: Higashi no Eden.
2. What has brought your character to the group? Do you have any stories/ideas that you hope to develop for them as they progress through the game, and if so, what are they?
After his short tenure at Black-water, Roy decided that their methods for gaining power and influence were too "hands-on" for him. Although he doesn't mind getting his hands dirty, he prefers having others handle the heavy-lifting. He is all about contingency plans. However with Black-water, although the money was good, they weren't too keen on his way of thinking. To them, it was get the job done; or die trying...quite literally. To be honest, Roy isn't much of a fighter. He is a manipulator of the people to meet his own ends. He's a networker. He thrives on the wanting and needs of others; because through them, he gains power and influence.
A couple of weeks before he left Black-water, one of his "co-workers" had plans to go to a company named Aegir Communications. Although his co-worker had simply planned to be a security guard just to get away from the constant tasks of Black-water, Roy did some research on the company. The more he read on the company's ability to "broker deals", the more he wanted to reach out to the company and offer his credentials. Roy had plans to get into this company. Even if for the most part his work would benefit himself. However, Roy was never one to break a deal, especially if the business partnership is fruitful.
3a. Fill in the blank: If my character had to choose between the life of a business partner, and the loss of money,he'd choose his partner's life...if the negotiations proved equal or greater value of the funds lost.
3b. Fill in the blank: Today my character makes 2 slices of bacon. Tomorrow, my character earns back 4.
4. How did you find out about us, and how would you like for us to contact you in-game?
I found out about you guys through the official TSW forums, and I notice you are light/medium RP so I had to apply. I'm looking to get back into RP through the use of the game, but I'm not really good, so heavy RP tends to scare me a bit haha. Feel free to contact me either through Mail or PM. My name is...you guessed it: Higashi!!!
5. Have you ever wanted a chance to just say whatever you'd like to about yourself to a group of anonymous strangers over the internet? If so, here's your chance!
Well, I hope my application is good, although I may have left out a few points. I kind of tried to fit in working on a story during my lunch break at work today between eating...lol. I hope to hear from you soon!
