How old are you? 28 What is your in-game name? Traylini Sunstrike Do you have Teamspeak 3 and a working microphone? Yes What are the top five games that influenced you most and a little bit as to why? The Top 5 games that have influenced me the most are: 1. World of Warcraft. This game was my first real foray into the world of MMOs and it introduced me to the world of partying with real people instead of computer controlled bots that all the other FF games had involved. This game also showed me my fascination with being a tank and protecting a group. Not to mention, with the rankings system I was compelled to prove to the world that I can be one of the best of the best. 2. The Legend of Zelda series. These games really turned me on to the whole RPG scene. The whole reason I enjoy RPGs now is because of the depth that these games provided and the challenges they presented having to be conquered in unique ways that werent seen in games before these started. 3. Final Fantasy. This series has led me to where I am now with my love for RPGs, especially the MMO variety. The Final Fantasy series turned me on to the whole level system and character progression which I have grown to love as I continue to play more. 4. Super Metroid. What can I noy say about this game? This game alone continues to be one of my favorite games to date and will be for years to come. This game really turned me on to the ways in which a game can be explored, yet remain fun no matter how many times you play it. This game started to make me realize that a grind and exploration was required in most games, and it grew from there. 5. Super Mario Bros. Series. This series was where I got my first taste in video games when I was 3 years old and where I fell in love with gaming. Since these games gaming has become one of my favorite hobbies to pass spare time. This game also taught me how fun it can be gaming with friends. What kind of content do you prefer to PvP, PvE, or both (PvX)? PvE What guilds have you played with and what roles did you have within the guild? When I played WoW I was in Wolfgrowls of Boulderfist Horde. My main role within the guild was Main Tank. I may not have an opportunity to be Main Tank within XoO, however, I am sure my tanking talent can be of use in progression. I joined this guild because I was real life friends with a lot of the members, and although we didnt raid a lot, I often put the members on my back as a geared tank and said "Come on, lets go, we got this." I havent left this guild although I dont play WoW anymore, I am still good friends with all of the members. What brings you to XoO and why did you choose us? The reason I am applying to XoO is your TS3 and CoC rules are what I would expect of a close to cutting edge/cutting edge raiding guild. Not to mention, these rules are rules I would enjoy being around. List some of the things that you think will make you an asset to XoO. The things I believe that will make me an asset to XoO are my ability to quickly learn mechanics and do research on fights beforehand. As a Paladin, I would look to see if anyone has tips for me as a Paladin for tanking particular fights/hard trash. Also, I learn mechanics quite quickly and often do not make the same mistake twice. If a mistake is my fault, I wont try and put it on someone else, if its mine; I will take the blame for it. You are in a middle of a raid and the raid leader calls out a command you don't think will work out. Do you hesitate and contest, or do you listen anyways and speak your mind after the fact? In the middle of a boss fight, the raid leaders command stands. Speaking your mind is not really the way to put it I would more call my response after the fact as more of a suggestion or idea of what we could do alternatively during the next pull to make things work better then the last pull. A little bit about yourself? *Gaming history, habits, etc...* I have an extensive gaming history dating all the way back to the original Nintendo when I was 3 all the way up through my current fascination with MMOs. My gaming habits are strong, however, things like work and school come before them always. Even so, when I game, I strive to be the best I can be in everything I do. This is despite the fact that I have cerebral Palsy on my right side and that limits my ability to function a mouse and keyboard at the same time. Regardless, I compensate for this by findings ways to allow myself to avoid mechanics and get around thigs to the best of my ability. Sometimes, this may lead to frustration, but it is inward frustration and will never be voiced in TS to others. How many hours do you play per week, on average? I often play as much as my schedule allows, which is 20-30+. Were you reffered to XoO? If so, enter the name of the person who referred you to XoO - List the best times for your interview Best times to interview me are 18:00-00:00 PST/PDT any day, when I am usually logged in to ARR.
