Application - Teolwyn

1. NAME: Dennis

2. AGE: 24

3. COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE: Sweden

4. TIME ZONE: CET (GMT +1)

5. PREVIOUS MMORPG EXPERIENCE: World of Warcraft, in which I played a Paladin, acting as a healer during raids. Raid experience includes up until Ahn-Qiraj and Naxxramas. I quit playing shortly before The Burning Crusade was released.

6. PREVIOUS LOTRO EXPERIENCE: I started playing sometime during the beginning of last year (2008), after a long MMO hiatus (WoW left a bitter after-taste). Since then I've played several characters together with a friend of mine - including a Guardian, a Hunter, a Rune-keeper, and a Warden - but I ended up falling in love with the Lore-master quite early on, and therefore I have made the most progress with her. I know the class very well, and I am very content in my role in fellowships as general support, crowd-control, and de-buffer. In fact, I thoroughly love playing that part. My favourite trait-line, however, is 'Keeper of Animals', but I don't care much for 'Master of Nature's Fury'. Additionally, I make a keen healer as my Rune-keeper, whom I consider my only true alternate character. As for instances, I have experience with several of the Hard Mode instances in Moria, but I have never been able to attend any raids. I am a swift learner, though, so you rarely have to explain new tactics to me more than once.

7. HAVE YOU BEEN A MEMBER OF OTHER KINSHIPS?: Yes, I've been a member of Serenity for some time. I just recently started considering looking for another kinship when I realised I ended up just standing around doing nothing, most of the time I was on-line. The activity concerning group instances I felt was lacking, and to some extent we rarely played together as a kinship. I am not looking to run through the game and make huge progress fast, but I need a kinship who is active in a way that makes it possible to attend various near end-game instances relatively often, and to do it together with mature players who understand their respective classes. Again, it's not like it means the world to me to plough through instances and raids at an alarming rate, but I need to feel that the opportunity at least is there; that there are groups out there, going for that radiance equipment we need if we are to take a look at the end-game content.

8. YOUR MAIN CHARACTER: Teolwyn, level 60 Lore-master with two pieces of radiance gear (robes, shoes), and various other, semi-powerful miscellaneous (blue) equipment.

9. YOUR ALTS: Uirveleth, level 60 Rune-keeper with no pieces of radiance gear, that still carries some semi-powerful equipment.

10. HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT TWA: I looked through the list of kinships on the official forums, reading their introductions and their respective websites. Yours impressed me the most.

11. DO YOU KNOW ANY CURRENT TWA MEMBERS: No.

12. ABOUT YOURSELF: I work at a directory assistance service here in Sweden, to which people call for information on... anything, really (our slogan is 'ask us anything'), so while most enquiries are about phone numbers or addresses, one never knows what problems customers may have in store for you. I especially enjoy looking things up abroad, having to use our vast databases (and the internet, of course) to their full extent. My favourite subjects in school were history, psychology, and social studies; I am considering going into a teacher's program with those subjects in mind, at some point. I am very thorough and particular when it comes to communicating in writing, and I feel I have a very good grasp of the English language, although my accent may be quite obvious if you hear me speak. During my spare time I enjoy spending time with friends (be it in person, or via the internet), listen to music, watch interesting films, and I'm obviously playing games. I have a soft spot for western role-playing games, my all-time favourite being the phenomenal Planescape: Torment.

13. ABOUT YOUR MAIN: "Aside from the two rather prominent scars on her face, this 20-something-year-old woman can best be described as plain-looking: she has a common enough face, fading blue eyes, and ill-kept, dirty red hair; dressed in a tattered, patched-up robe and boots that seem too big for her feet. Whenever you look her way, she always carries a half-smile, and her eyes are open wide as she examines her surroundings with a somewhat gleeful interest, often humming an odd, seemingly random tune."

Teolwyn comes off as a bit of a loon to most people. Her attention span is erratic, and her speech is often weird and nonsensical. She is, however, endlessly kind and caring as a friend. Many think her behaviour might be the result of being dropped on her head as a child one too many times, while a few suspect some sort of psychological trauma may be the reason instead. She never speaks of her past, and when asked about it, she usually mentions something about her various animal companions, but she soon becomes distracted and starts talking about something else. Where, exactly, she was born and raised is unknown, but she hails from somewhere in the Dale-lands.

14. I AM INTERESTED IN RAIDING: Somewhat.

15. I AM INTERESTED IN FELLOWSHIP QUESTS: A lot.

16. I AM INTERESTED IN RP & RP EVENTS: Somewhat.
