How active are you in game?:

- Tricky question. This is a complicated issue for me because I have started to attend college. I also have a Macintosh laptop with me at college so I cannot play Mabinogi on a Mac. However, I still manage to play Mabinogi throughout the school year. During breaks and/or when I come home for the weekend, I play Mabinogi almost all day and every day. I try my absolute best to play as much as I can and as frequently as I can, however you must understand that school does take up a lot of my time and I apologize if I am not as active as you guys wish me to be! I am currently on Winter Break and will not return to school till January 6th, 2014, so I am going to be very active for the next couple weeks~   

Joined any previous guilds? If yes, which one(s) and why are you looking for another guild? (You must list all your previous guild(s) - we will conduct a thorough research. If you're in another guild at the moment. Please state what's your current guild on your application:

- My Guild history [in chronological order]: Blazed, Wings (ORIGINAL Wings), Ascend, Rank1 (ORIGINAL Rank1), Pinnacle.

The current Guild I am in is NOMNOMNOM.

The main reason I am pursuing to join Dreams is mostly because of the fact that NOM has recently lost a LOT of its player base to inactivity [i.e. Macbookpro, kidousen, Raruku, Zesper, other I may have forgotten]. NOM has tried recruiting some players, however gigante (Jin) hasn't been active and wug has went AWOL. On top of that, many of the players reside in Australia, which makes it tricky for me to play with most of the players because I live in the US, which makes our days their nights and vice versa. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE everyone in NOM to death, however I think my time at NOM is coming to an end due to the fact that I usually play alone all day because everyone is sleeping, AFK, or playing League of Legends.

Sidenote: (Add me on League! I am VERY active on League because I can play in college IGN: HippoTrash Divison: Gold 4)
Why Dreams?:

- As many of you guys may know, I have attempted to apply twice to Dreams, and obviously have been turned down twice. I was, to be honest, bummed about my decline to join Dreams. This didn't stop me from getting better though. I took into account all of your constructive criticism and advice and suggestions and I have done the best I could to better myself as a player and a person. I try to remain humble to those weaker than I am, and look up to those who are stronger than I am. I hope, as you review my application and my character statistics, you notice my vast improvement in many areas I was weak in. I hope to impress most of you and hopefully I have done you right by honing and improving my skills        

Who have referred you? The person who referred you must post in your application as recommendation (you need at least 2 referals):

- Another tricky question... to be completely honest, I HAD referrals prior to my leave to college [I will leave them out to avoid any conflict], however once I went to college I lost contact with them. After coming home for a weekend one weekend, I contacted them and asked if they could still be my referral if I decided to apply in the future and they sadly couldn't. I was on hiatus for too long, and apparently they were too, and they were unable to be my referral due to inactivity on both parts... so in this case... I have NO referrals in the application. Yes, I am aware your rules bluntly say I must have two referrals, and I really do apologize for this part >_>. If I could contact some members of Dreams I had previous relations with, I would, but I believe many of them either removed me, or they have quit.

I hope this doesn't cause any problems or inconvenience, and I do understand if my application is invalid due to this violation.

How long have you been playing?:

- My memory is a bit stale. I played open beta under the name [Roxxas], however I didn't really like it so I quit until further notice. I made a new account, [Roxxaz], and didn't really start playing the game seriously until the beginning of [G13], and since then I have been honing my skills on Roxxaz and became the player you guys know today.

What kind of skills/accomplishment do you have?:

- As you guys know, last time I applied, my level to rebirth ratio was extremely low (like around 55 if I remember correctly), and I really took that into consideration. Now, my rebirth to level ratio is, at least if I calculated it correctly, [70 levels/1 rebirth]. Yes this is still really low, however the average doesn't increase that fast due to mathematical restrictions. I aim to get past at least level 100 before considering a rebirth! On top of that, my exploration ratio is now [15.36 levels/rebirth], and I believe that's some vast improvement there~. At least I hope so   

Also, megen suggested I do some life skills to improve my base stats, so I have begun to work on those! The following skills are the feats of my life skill quest:

[R1 Mining, R1 Hoeing, R1 Harvesting, R3 Fishing, R9 Transformation Mastery, R7 Carpentry]

Any other information you would like for us to know:

Thank you guys for reviewing my application for the last and final time, it has been a pleasure attempting to apply to you guys and working with your advice. This has truly been a growing experience both in Mabinogi and in real life (who says video games are bad for you?   ). This has given me the determination to better myself both inside Erinn and outside Erinn.   

I wish you all the very best and have a blessed holiday season~

Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Happy New Year to you all               

Cheers,

Roxxaz/Richard

Hello once again Roxxaz and thanks for taking the time to fill in a really nice and detailed app. As you know this is the final application you can make so give it your best shot!

Since your 2nd application there has definitely been improvements in your character (more than double your total level since then) and hopefully you have had the chance to grow as a person as well. I'll commend you for being patient and diligent in joining us.

As of right now, I'm not too sure how strict the rules are with the referrals. This will need to be discussed in further detail with the recruit officers and the rest of the guild. However if you can contact your old referrals or anyone in Dreams you consider to be close to, I'd suggest in doing so.

Anyway that is all I have to say for now. Good luck with your application!

Thank you, Drawing    That means a lot ^^

And yes, about the referrals, I shall try my absolute best to contact them~ Again, I do understand if referrals are a must at this current time, as they are an important, if not most important part, to this application process. ^^

So yea im reffering this guy. Seems to be super nice and has no problems keeping up in runs :3. GL sir.

Your persistence is admirable.  Good to see someone willing to address themselves, and work on those items.

I do also appreciate your honesty and also filling out the application thoroughly along with explanations.

I just have a couple quick questions:

1) What type of person do you feel you are?  What trait do express the most frequently?

2) What type of person does your character have?

3) How are you and your character different?

Good luck on your application!

Hello, Jewel

Thank you for your kind words, it means a lot to me personally ^^

To answer your questions... and I am going to be brutally honest with myself and with you guys.

1. The type of person I am. Hmm... growing up I was always a go-getter. When I set my eyes on something to accomplish, I don't rest until that goal is completed. This can be good or bad, depending on the situation. For example (I'll use Mabinogi references for the sake of the game), yesterday I finally hit Master Bard and was very eager to begin proffing my Demonic Gloomy Sunday. It was very late by the time I hit Master Bard though, but I persisted through the late hours and completed proffing and upgrading it. Yes, I did accomplish my goal, but the mental toll on my body was rather degrading.

I also, sadly, get frustrated easily and my judgment sometimes get clouded by desperation and impetus. For example, when burning and/or enchanting and I fail several times, I will get very frustrated with how much I fail to enchant and/or burn, leading me to purchase blatantly overpriced burns or enchants so I can just finish the job. Nobody is perfect obviously and this is one of my major flaws. I've been trying to work on this side of my frustration and taming the angry and frustrated beast inside me, and I'm making progress. For example, yesterday I failed to put Secret ES on over 12 Demonic Lances yesterday and I didn't get too upset over it. So progress =D

Trait wise... I'm always happy and chatty. I love chatting with others in my spare time and just kicking back and relaxing in Dunbarton or Tir Chonaill. I love playing music in the game and listening to other's music scores and helping my friends with their needs. I'm very social when it comes to talking about Mabinogi, life, school, relationships and very open to those who earn my trust. Many people who know me well say that I'm easy to get along with and easy-going, which I am proud of!

2. If I'm interpreting this question correctly, my character Roxxaz has, as far as I know, no known enemies. I haven't been involved in any Mabinogi drama as far as I'm aware. Many people in the server shoot a quick "Hello" or "Hey Rox" every once in a while which makes me happy because I know I am getting my name out there! NOM has really metamorphosed me as a player and they improved many areas I was weak in, both in game and out of game. I am very open to talk to complete strangers and talk about misc. topics both on Mabinogi and other games or even real life.

3. How are my character and I different? Well as you guys know my character is a Female and I'm a Male in real life. My bubbly personality and cheerful demeanor often gets interpreted as me being a girl... embarrassing but true. I get hit on a lot by other players and it's rather awkward to have to tell them I'm a guy. (Hey don't blame me, I like girls outfits better than guys outfits. Besides all my outfits are Female and I'm too lazy to make a male set ). While Roxxaz is known as a cheerful and outgoing Mabinogi player, Richard is known for being extremely loud, crazy, and very outgoing. In college, my dorm floor is happy family and many people, boys and girls, come to my room to just hangout with me or talk. I'm also very loud when I get excited (it runs in the family). All in all... my character and I aren't so different after all - minus the differences in gender

I hope this thoroughly answers your questions, Jewel.

Please feel free to quote any parts that were unclear and/or need an explanation ^^;

Perseverance is one of the main things any Dreams member tends to need the most. You showed us you do have what it takes to be part of the guild. As a fellow member, I welcome you into Dreams.

Application accepted.
