Auberon's application.

What is your in-game name?
Auberon.

What class are you? What level?
lv24 Swordsman. (Going to be a Gladiator.)

What will do you concentrate more on?
Concentrating on PvE. I honestly didn't give PvP a good look, but I saw one video of a Gladiator doing an infinite, and a thread of someone saying all classes get an infinite, or something along those lines. I am not interested in 1v1 because of that, but PvP teams should be interesting.

Approximately, how many days do you plan to play a week? How many hours per day?
7 days, about 6-8 hours a day for now. In 1-2 months, it'll be more around 10 hours.

Why do you want to join Illuminati?
If you are active, friendly, and aim to be a decent player in a hardcore and yet comfortable environment, then Illuminati is the right place for you!" Honestly, that's why. Also because Illuminati is about the only guild in Gerrant that is hardcore yet comfortable.

Anything about yourself that you'd like us to know?
Well, outside of gaming... I'm 23, male... uh, not much of a conversationalist yet friendly, especially if you prove to me you are just that, a friend. "You scratch my back, I scratch yours." type of friendship is bs to me. It should be selfless, imo. But all you gotta do is be respectful and simply ask, and I'd help you.

As for in-game, or gaming in general. I have played FFXI(Final Fantasy XI, another MMO) for... a very, very long time, it feels right to say 10 years, but I don't think it's been out that long? I forget. Anyway, I was a lv75(lv cap) Samurai, Ninja, Monk, Paladin, & Ranger. Maxed Merits(uh, merits are like ... crest in DN but 200 times more time consuming to get!) for all jobs. I had full Usukane set for my SAM/NIN/MNK. uh, had a Ares top for PLD along with the Odin helmet. It's been too long to remember that helm/body armor name... along with Homam pieces of course. I was also in a hardcore endgame linkshell(guild) called HomingMissiles. I was truly only missing one thing for my jobs in FFXI... Relic weapons. Everything else was top-notch. I would go into detail of my experience/event in HomingMissiles, but to save you all from a longer wall of text... I was wronged by the anger-management-problem-leader, even though I saw all the members as my friends, no one stood up for me, (which is why I have such a good out-look on what friends are!) And I was kicked for nothing but speaking up/defending myself. ... Fun times. =D

So, yeah, what's up, Illuminati. I am Auberon, hardcore PvE-er is me. Hope to hear from you soon.

Damn, son. You lost me there. XD

Hello! Glad to see that you are interested in joining the illuminati. I'm sure you'll get a response from the leader sooner or later, but good luck with the app!

If you don't mind me asking, where do you live and what timezone? xD

lol, I'm assuming you ask cause of what time I'm posting this, haha. I'm EST and I'm in Florida. xD Hardcore gamer sharing a computer with bro makes for late, late hours.

Ha, I feel you. I use to share as well with my sister and brother and I would only go on around 9pm and stay up very late because of this. xD

I feel like posting screenshots. The FFXI player in me is screaming to make this application more professional and legit. After all, I am pretty much selling myself to you all... D=

Me in the 1st piece of Usukane, the feet.

2nd and 3rd pieces, gloves and helm.

4th piece, legs. Don't get to see me in the last piece, body, because I only took these screenshots to post in the guild forums I was in to say my thanks for their help, but I was kicked shortly after I got it/banned from forums.

And now for Dragon Nest. My currently equipped +12 Merc Cap GSW and my soon-to-be-equipped Skeleton GSW.

Just wanna show my sexy 2.1k crit. 2.5k if I equip my Skeleton GSW.

My Skeleton armor is +6~8, 2 are Sturdy, 1 is Adorned, working on the rest. I build crit because I am a crit-addict/whore and I have asked/looked around, but I haven't gotten a concrete answer on what stat I should really focus on. ...Hey, look at that. I lied, I really am a conversationalist!

Hola Auberon!

I never knew we were a "hardcore" guild xD

Never tried Final Fantasy XI, but I did play the beta for XIV and kept hearing lots of people arguing over which version was better lol. I didn't personally care for XIV though, I think I like the console ones better.

You sound like a video game addict like me too! :P I look forward to seeing you in game and hopefully in guild (as long as the whale guild leader accepts you~) And when I'm not in school I usually stay up to 5/6am then sleep all day lol. Usually have to stay up if I want to play with these guys since they're all West Coast mostly and only a few of us are actually East.

Oh, really? Well, I hope it wasn't apparent because there isn't enough content for the guild to be hardcore on. More chillax right now, huh?

Basically, we're along the lines of being lazy due to no increase level cap or pvp. Although most of us did all of our Mino Nest runs yesterday so it's "slightly" hardcore. If it wasn't capped at seven runs a week it would be hardcore! Anywho...I accept! The Whale of Gluttony won't be on for a bit since she went to bed less than 4 hours ago. If you must blame someone for making you wait blame her! I would accept you but sadly enough I do not have the power to accept applications!

Edit: I am online if you wish to speak kind sir~ My char is Racaseal.

We're as hardcore as 70 year old taking Cialis on a daily basis.

^ ffffuuu I laughed.

Really? Are you sure?! I'm pretty sure the majority of us are west coast. Isn't it just you, Isashu, me, and Tammy who are west coast?

OT: I approve! And we must be clearer about this whale business. I am many Orcas but Tammy is the original whale (or something) and it's confusing me. D:<

Hello Auberon!

I think we'll all be happy to have you in the guild, so feel free to contact us for an invite.

To clarify the above as I'm confused... I'm pretty sure that the majority of us are all in the east* coast... and only 3 or 4 people are actually in the west including me. But anyhow, some of us stay up late so if you really do intend to play at a late schedule, you should still be able to catch some of us :)

For the guild invite, whisper Aera, Ayra, Isashu, or Riax for invite since at least one of us are usually on all the time.

Application accepted.
