1. How much experience do you have with roleplaying? Have you played other MMORPGs? There's no wrong answer here.
I've been RPing for about 20 years now, both in pen-and-paper games that preceded MMOs and more recently, Guild Wars, Rift, City of Heroes, Champions Online, and SW:TOR. I've got a few years of experience acting as an officer in RP guilds that hopefully will help keep this group going smoothly! Probably best known by the global handle yasfan in several of those games, here I'm using my character name from the Secret World beta. If we've already met, nice to see you again! If we haven't, nice to meet you!
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?
Jean has been around the supernatural for a while now, starting with a nasty encounter that took place during the chaos of Hurricane Katrina. (Nothing supernatural happened there, you say? Oh, the cover up was phenomenal! ;p) He's not well known--after all, being well known isn't very healthy--but among those who pay attention he's quietly gained a reputation as someone professional, who gets things done without a lot of fuss. The Illuminati has brought him into Aegir with the official title "Assistant to the CEO", and instructions to keep the new boss out of trouble and in line. Which of those two things he's been told to give higher priority to, nobody knows but Jean--and he isn't talking.
Beyond the initial idea, I'm just curious to see where it goes. No particular theme I'm trying to explore with this character.
3a. Fill in the blank: If my character were to meet an Eldritch Horror From Beyond Space And Time, he/she would probably try for a tactical retreat, if one were available and there was no pressing objective to be completed.
3b. Fill in the blank: If I were to meet an Eldritch Horror From Beyond Space And Time, I would probably be a little chewy, but not bad with ketchup.
4. How did you find out about us, and how would you like for us to contact you in-game?
Sersi and I were talking about finding a group in TSW and decided to start one up for ourselves! As far as in-game contact goes, "Trankil" is his nickname--We'll have to wait until the game opens to see about an open name for a chat channel!
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!
I'm looking forward to having some fun RPing together with you! See you in game!
