    Zac'ma's Application

    Name (Real First Name):Zach MacDonald
    Age (If you are under 16 – stop here):18
    Timezone (Location): US Eastern (GMT - 5) St.Catherines, Ontario, Canada
    How did you find us? Swtor.com's Guild Recruitment Forum

    Why do you wish to join us?
    I've been in several guilds in WoW, and I've come to realize that the true success of a guild comes from order. A disorganized guild with little rule or structure crumbles quickly, but social interaction and the ability to make friends within the guild is something that binds a guild together. Once I experienced the amount of detail put into the Guild site, I acknowledged the fact that this guild is serious and wants to be taken seriously.


    Why should we accept you?
    I'm serious about being of use to the guild. If I can't make it on a raid, you can expect plenty of notice if it isn't an emergency. I'm a dedicated guild-mate, and I believe in fair solutions to guild drama and disputes. I'm a friendly guy and I make a lot more friends than enemies.


    Why did you pick us over everyone else?
    Honestly, I haven't seen too many Republic guilds, and the Sith guilds I've seen seem to only consist of people who blur the lines between roleplaying and OOC guild management. The guilds seem to be actually managed like a gaggle of Sith vying for a position on top of the heap.



    What do you expect to get from joining this guild?
    I expect to gain a steadfast group of individuals to quest, level, RP, befriend, and eventually raid and PvP with. Maybe eventually, if it's possible in game, a raid on Drommund Kaas. But other than that, the main reason I want to join this guild is that I enjoy companionship and comaraderie.



    What are your strengths and weaknesses?

    My strengths would have to be the fact that I am easy to get along with, loyal, compassionate, slow to anger, and generally easygoing. among my weaknesses would be my procrastination, laziness, and my sleep cycle, which is great for online gaming, but not very good for anything else in life.


    Imagine you could trade places with anyone for just a week. The person could be famous or not famous, living or from history, real or fictional. With whom would you trade places?
    The one person with whom I'd change places with for a week would have to be Jackie Estacado (The Darkness comic). Just wielding that much power is awesome, and his life is such a great and epic story. I've always wished I could have some form of great destiny, or great power with which to forge my own destiny. Ya, I'd like my life to mirror fantasy/sci-fi literature.


    How would you define success?
    Having fun, whether you win or lose. Winning is fun, but if you can lose and still have a barrel of laughs about it, you've become a successful guy in life.




    What motivates you to put forth your greatest effort?

    Victory, whether it yields anything or not, I enjoy overcoming difficult challenges. I.e., in most video games, even if it yields little or no experience or rewards, I like attempting to take down things that would normally take many more people to take down, like dungeon bosses. If I lose, it's fine, It was way stronger than me. If I win, hallelujah, I've just defeated something that takes "this many" people normally.



    If any, which members do you know in our guild, and what is your relationship?

    N/A


    Tell us something about yourself outside of SW:TOR; what kind of hobbies are you interested in, etc?

    I'm an artist, actor, writer, singer, drummer, and fencer. I absolutely love anything that has to do with the arts, I love impactful stories and gripping visuals. I'm currently unemployed and looking for work and an Art school. I live in a basement that has a shorter ceiling than me, enforcing the nerd/parents or family member's basement stereotype.


    Have you been a part of any other SW:TOR Pre-Launch guilds?
    No




    Do you have ventrilo installed and a working mic?
    Yes and Yes




    Are you easily offended?

    Not at all. I'm quite used to my friends spewing out every type of Racist, sexist, distasteful things imaginable. It just simply doesn't bother me.

    ---------------------------------------------------
    Character Information
    Name: Zac'Ma Ma'sai
    Race: Kaleesh
    Class: Jedi Knight (Tank spec, if there is one)
    Alignment: Light-side(With a chance of falling to the Dark Side, but I'm not sure yet.)
    Physical Description:
    Tall, imposing figure, Kaleesh mask(colored crimson red and white), simple tattered brown cloak over a massive suit of white armour.

    Character Traits:
    Strong, Quiet, Calculating, Loyal, Strategic. A natural leader and a fierce warrior.

    Character Biography:
    Among the Kaleesh, the Ma'sai bloodline gives birth to some of the strongest warriors, chieftains, and hunters on Kalee. When the Holy men of the Ma'sai discovered that one of their newborns was gifted with the Force, they presented him to the Jedi Council as a gift, stating that as he was Ma'sai, he would become a great and renowned Jedi Knight. A rather unorthadox request, but as Zac'ma was still an infant, the Council accepted this gift and trained the Kalee in the ways of the Jedi.

    As an adult, Zac'ma is fiercely loyal to the Republic and the Jedi, but his allegiance to the Republic and the war effort at times blinds him to the wisdom of the Council and the code. He is most at home fighting alongside Republic Troopers rather than his own Jedi brethren. He would sacrifice anything to ensure victory for the Republic on every front. His troops and his allies are Important to him, and he plans every battle to ensure minimum casualties without compromising effectiveness as a unit.

    Interested in Piloting:
    Not for my Jedi, Perhaps on a Trooper alt.

    Before I read your app, please differentiate your questions from your answers, preferably by adding a bold formatting to your questions.

    I read through your app and I must say, I always enjoy the more straight-to-the-point answers. Anything else is just TL;DR.

    But I have one question...

    Is your last name really McDonald? And if so, can I has cheezburger?

    Everything looks decent, but I'd like you to edit your Strengths and Weaknesses. Keep in mind, your Strengths and Weaknesses don't have to do with your computer's specs or how you might feel towards the guild. They have to do more with you and how you are.

    Work on those and we'll get back to you. Thanks!

    It's not the fall that will kill you, it's the sudden stop at the end

    Not bad. I don't really have any advice here, except maybe expand a few sections. Other than that good luck man.

    LMAO

    Welcome to the forums! I enjoyed your App and, as Keego, I don't really see anything wrong with it, but I think it could be richer in detail.

    The admission team likes details man, and it is never to much.

    I do like the fact that you were honest and didn't try to butter us up, point to you there.
    I like "straight to the point" people as well..

    So, my suggestion is:

    Look over your app a couple of times and try to put more into it were you feel needs it.

    Good luck!

    Edit:

    PS: I too am an insomniac, hard core, have been for 20 years now.
    And no, I don't use drugs.. LOL

    I like the edits man, I think this is a solid app.

    I am sure things will go well with the admission team, just need to be patient, they are a busy bunch..

    Word of advice: Stay active, post often and feel free to drop by vent anytime, there is always someone there..

    I play STO and in case you do too, look me up, handle @Angel_

    Good luck!
