Hammarwolf - The Application

Greetings, you all.

1. NAME
Timo

2. AGE
38

3. COUNTRY OF RESIDENCE
Finland

4. TIMEZONE
GMT+2

5. PREVIOUS MMORPG EXPERIENCE
Quite long, since the early days. A bit of Ultima Online, somewhat more of Star Wars Galaxies, dip into Anarchy Online etc. Everquest II, DDO, Age of Conan, Pirates of the Burning Sea, Champions Online etc.

6. PREVIOUS LOTRO EXPERIENCE
Since the launch.

7. HAVE YOU BEEN A MEMBER OF OTHER KINSHIPS?
Most notably the infamous, legendary Travellers Guild and, after the merge, Red Band of Cardolan, which I co-led for a couple of years. The Unfinished Tales since then, but now, after some quiet times and my longest LotRO break ever, almost 6 months, needing a new and active posse. 

8. YOUR MAIN CHARACTER
Hammarwolf, hunter, level 76 as we speak. Equipment has been gained by, how should i put it... casual, unambitious ways, to be honest. 

9. YOUR ALTS, IF ANY
I have few. They are all under level 50 and I am not sure how much attention they should be given now. Bhoros, Vrall, Furo, Drembe, if I remember correctly.

10. HOW DID YOU HEAR ABOUT TWA?
I have been aware of your existence all these years. The impression has always been good. That's why I am here today. Unlike so many others, you appear... alive. You also have strong roots in the good old days of Laurelin - you have done the same journey as I. Which is an important factor for me.

11. DO YOU KNOW ANY CURRENT TWA MEMBERS?
Looking through your roster, I recognize several names from the past and feel the good memories igniting inside. Maybe my name will be recognized by some of you in the same manner.

12. ABOUT YOURSELF
I run a little museum as a dayjob, have a barbaric appearance and write short fiction. I also play acoustic guitar and several ethnic percussions. My passions are history and medieval architecture.

13. ABOUT YOUR MAIN
My main is a simple man from Esgaroth, trying to find a purpose. His story is not connected to the epic events of the Third Age in any way. Not yet, at least. I am much more inspired by the fate of the common man, nevertheless.

14. I AM INTERESTED IN RAIDING
Somewhat. In theory, a lot, but in practice, I lack the consistent devotion that is needed. I would love to see all the raids and stuff for the exploration and excitement, but I don't really have a great motivation to become a brilliant player of my class and have a best gear. There you have it.

15. I AM INTERESTED IN FELLOWSHIP QUESTS
Oh yes, I love them. I am fine on my own, but I love to do stuff together.

16. I AM INTERESTED IN RP & RP EVENTS
Yes. Always. I out-RPed myself during the first years of LotRO and lost the spark, but the love for RP is always there, ready to burst, like an inflamed pimple of imagination.

Hey there Hammarwolf. Your name sparked instant recognition with me as I remember the Red Band well and I believe you were also a part of the short lived pentagram alliance. Perhaps you still remember me as well though I was less in the public eye than you.

It warms my heart to see such an old name still around and applying to us.

One of my officers will contact you soon hopefully to get the ball rolling, I am sure you would make a great addition to our kin. A little warning I must give is that we do little to no RP these days, though always open to those who enjoy it. That being said, if it is company you seek for quests, instances and even raids you have come to the right place.

Good luck with your application, hope to see you soon.

Good luck with your applications.

Thank you very much. And hey, no worries about that RP thing at all; I have never expected my kinship to provide any RP for me. If I feel like it, I try to create the opportunities myself or go looking for it. So, on the contrary, it's a relief that the kinship does not have any expectations of regular and active RP. I am looking for OOC companionship and people to chat with while I casually quest and explore around, mostly.

See you soon in Middle-Earth, I hope.

invited today by me, good luck with your trial

Welcome to the kin Hammar and good luck with your trial
