Female Worgen Priest, Maíev. Level 80 Talor + Nothing I'm a dude, age 16, from Denmark, studying at a high-school kinda thing, and I transferred here for some roleplay. Azhira, told me you guys were like a family, and very active on roleplaying, so obvious choice there ;D. And I also like your concept: taking care of global matters, fighting for peace and without drawing to much unnecessary attention. As for my character, it's the typical worgen story. She's trying to find her place in the Alliance, and to fight for a good purpose. I haven't given her past a lot of thoughts yet, but I promise to fix in more details about her in a few days. I have about a year's RP experience, I used to play a lot with Azhira. I also have a lot of PvP experience, so I hope you guys are up for that too A little cheap for an application, I know. But I know I'll fit well with you guys, and I promise I'll have a character profile ready very soon. Thanks and merry x-mas!

I'll vouch for you mate! I know you, and I know that you will fit well with us ^^
And I hope you can keep that promise, you'll need a done profile for the meeting.

Looks okay actually, I suppose the important thing is that you understand the concept of the guild and accept the rules. I'll vouch for you too. Just get that profile done

As you say yourself, a little cheap for an application. On some parts I think it's a little bit lackluster. Despite this, I see some good things in there too. You understand the concept and Azhira seems to have explained our concept as a "family" to you too.
What I really miss in this is a proper idea and background for your character. I'd like you to write down a story for your character (it doesn't need to be long) where you give us the main idea of its background and also gives us an idea of your grasp of the lore. These are things we usually put alot of emphasis on.
If you do that and it passes our judgement, then I would be happy to say yes. Azhira and Alvin seem to be able to vouch for you too, which is of course an advantage for you.

As you and Tirena both said, this seems rushed and incomplete! I would prefer it if you used the template we have, when writing your application! It makes it easier for you to know what we want to know, and it makes it easier for us to check what we want to know!
As for your name, I think I can recall a certain Maiev Shadowsong that shares it! ;] In the end, I suspect your name wouldn't be much of a trouble, but it would be nice if we could call you something else! Or maybe I am just throwing a big fuss over nothing here...
Fix all this, and write a decent background story, and you will gladly have a yes from me!

You seam like a relaxed guy, I can tell that much. And something makes me belive in you when you say that you will have the story ready soon. I'd love to read it and get to know your char But sence the story ain't ready yet, I can not give you an approval just yet. But I am pretty sure that I will give you my paw when it is time. I haven't read what the others wrote, so I apologise if I have been repeting them. But make a more detaled application and I shall read it and coment Until then, sorry but it's a no.

I'm afraid as much as you seem like a nice guy we'd need a full and complete application before I could actually make a full evaluation and get you into the guild, much like the others we'd need to see it all before we can make an overall judgement! The quicker you get things done, the quicker you can get yourself in.

Okay foks, first of all, thanks for the replies! I understand I've given the impression of a very quickly made appplication, so I've made a story with all the time it needed ^^ Enjoy!
Many years ago, when Maíev was young and the people of Gilneas were still humans, she lived among a wealthy family that was both respected and honored by the people.
From her very birth, it was decided that she should be representing the brilliance of the family, and had therefor arranged the best teachers and masters to help her become the ultimate magician.
As years passed and Maíev became a teenage girl, she was probably the cleverest of her age and even now she was indeed for filling her life purpose. But as clever as she was, she quickly came to understand how meaningless it was in the end.
Secretly she started to study something she found more interesting, dark magic. She was very inspired by the idea of mind-manipulation, and with her great talent and potential she quickly learned how to use it.
However, when the Worgen plague was spread among the people, she was disturbed in her development.
Years later when the Gilnean people joined the Allaince, she was an adult and a great magician specializing in shadow powers and mind-tricks.
As for her family, most of them had died and so she was free to choose her own destiny.
Now for a conclusion: She want's to explore her powers and develop further, she seeks a new family that can give her the opportunities to do so. If it means to co-op with other races and different kinds of magic, she doesn't hesitate. As a clever woman, she knows synergy is the best way to develop, and she feels that the Ironheart Conclave can give her tasks that are tough enough for that development.

Right, after reading your backstory I'm starting to reconsider. Everything still feels a bit rushed though. I think you'd have been better off by using our actual guild application template as I think you'd have gotten a much more detailed application together. With that said, I do think your backstory is solid enough. And with the recent addition of the "conclusion" it seems your character isn't necessarily an evil character which I seemed to get the jist off of from the story before you added the conclusion and reasons for joining the conclave. Your character might be best off being honest about its magical preferences, seeing as the Conclave accepts the use of dark magic, but they have an oath every dark arts user has to undertake. I'm willing to give you a yes based on the fact that you've made an effort of following our recommendations and that your character now seems more fit for our guild ICly as well. Let's wait and see what the others reply to this before we make a decision. It's a democratic decision afterall. ^^

I agreed with Tirena's original points, in the sense that the application DID seem a touch rushed in places even after you had worked on it. That however seems based on genuine eagerness to join us and wherre thats flattering its also something to consider for future reference- take your time and do things right the first time, and things will wind up moving along a lot quicker.
I am willing to go with Tirena on the thoughts that upon reading your conclusion you have given us what we needed to give you a yes, initially I was worried you were applying with an evil character but thankfully that doesnt seem the case. The Conclave are many things, peacekeepers, soldiers, a community, soldiers- they are a number of things but anything but evil.
With that this is a yes from me, though I'd still like to see what others make of the updated response before we add you, we appreciate your patience about the matter though.

Well I must agree with the others, it was a rushed application at first which would not have ended up with a yes from me. I must admit after readinf the background story you added it makes me lean more towards a yes but I must admit I would have much rather liked to see an application made from the application template we have made. Eagerness to join is all well and good, and to be appreciated of course, but if you had wanted a quick application using the given template and filling it out right away would have made the process a lot quicker for you.
For me it is a hesitant yes at best because I prefer to see people make the effort of filling out our form and doing the application the way it is supposed to be done in the first place.
But like I said a very hesitant yes from me.

Many things have been said about it, and I must agree with the others. It seems like it's been rushed a bit. Oh and to be honest, I would really like to know the last name of your worgen character. Having played a lot of Warcraft 3, and generally having a lot of love to the Warden Maiev, I don't feel too well with people using names of heroes from previous installments of the Warcraft franchise, unless it is used in context with said last name. Like Amarania says, I would also prefer if I could call you something else. I mean, in a real world, there is more than one person called Chris, and I'm sure that in Warcraft, there is more than one person called Jaina, Arthas or Khadgar. It just depends on the last name, to separate one person from another.

I think this was a good application, tho it was a rather quick one. All though, the story you came with looks good. (I havent read up on Gilneas lore, but it makes sence) A yes from me

I must agree with the others. It feels like it's ruched. But if you copy the "form" that you can find on the recrutment site and fill that one in. Everything should be in order Other then that I like the background Now, take the few exra minutes and do it the proper way ^_^ Still no claw from me, but it looks as the full application can be great

Application withdrawn, most likely wishes to go with Azhira so seems senseless to force this application through. If you'd like to dispute this or DO wish to apply, please feel free to approach me in game or via PM here.
