Greetings, new applicant.
Consider this a form - a questionaire you have to answer.
Copy paste the whole below the horizontal line, make a new thread and answer question by question.
Before to proceed check on those points; and see if your answer to them is yes:
1- I am 16 years old or older?
2- My character is 18 years old or older?
3- My character is level 40 or above?
4- Have I read the whole webpage of the Bayerleyn Retinue, including all of the required pages before to apply? Have you read it well to not miss rules and details?
By all means, we do appreciate long and proper answers, and not short yes or no which hardly tell anything about you.
You are meant to answer as Player, and not Character - as this is to determine who we get eventually in the guild.
_________________________________________
Baseline.
My character name (spell accents correctly, if any.):
My character full IC name:
How old are you? (player, not character.)
Have you read the whole of the Bayerleyn webpage sections: Homepage; Info & Rules; Joining- Recruitment; The Bayerleyn RP Concept? If not, go read them before to proceed. Ignorance is not an excuse when it comes to guild rules.
Are you usually free in the "server time" evenings, when there is the RP peak time?
What level, class, race and gender is your character?
______________________________________
About your interest to the Bayerleyn Retinue.
How did you know about the guild? (Seen us around, friend told you, etc.)
Did a recruiter / greencoat character directly approach you? If so name him, and please state the kind of interaction (IC recruitment, OOC whisper approach, etc).
What brings your interest to the Bayerleyn Retinue? Why this guild and not another Household / Military (since Households are by de-facto Military in the end of the day - just Household approach the the army as middle age contept and Military the modern concept of standing army.)
______________________________________
Your activity level for the Bayerleyn Retinue.
Is this character your main? (Yes / No)
Is it possible to know your main if the answer above is No? Or your mains? You can inform the officers via whisper for privacy. (Yes / No)
How many Characters do you Roleplay actively? (A number)
How much time, in the evenings, would you dedicate to the Bayerleyn Retinue - on a weekly basis?
Do you perform other activities ingame, which would be of your interest, with the Bayerleyn Retinue members? (5 men Heroics, Scenarios, Looking for Raid, Arena, RBG, Old Raids Achievement Hunting, etc etc -- By that I am not saying we do them all, but maybe in a day if enough are interested why not!)
Do you desire to gear up your character?
Resume with your own words which kind of activity we can expect from you as player within the guild.
______________________________________
Your Roleplaying Past & Present Interests.
In which Roleplaying Guilds of Argent Dawn you (player) have been? - List them one by one, and explain the reason for the departure / removal from them.
(This to determine to which RP standards you were used to - and why you opted to move on.)
What kind of RP experiences are you presently seeking? What type of RP are you after? (Military, Exploration, Political, Battles & Campaigns, Holy, Romance, etc?)
What kind of RP experiences do you deem the Bayerleyn Retinue will offer you?
Which parts of the Lore do you find the most intriguing and interesting?
Have you ever played pen and paper Roleplay, such as Dungeons and Dragons and similar?
______________________________
Of delicate subjects.
What is your stance toward Erotical Roleplay? (Explain with more than a Yes / No answer.)
What is your stance toward Emote Fights, Torture, or other gore / violence depicting scenes? (Explain with more than a Yes / No answer.)
What is your stance to dubious moral or non educative RP such as thievery, performing crimes of sort? (Explain with more than a Yes / No answer.)
Does it bother you the roleplaying concept of a Lord who sleeps with the women among the ranks? (Explain with more than a Yes / No answer.)
The brutality of war can envision ominous deeds, razing villages, plundering and ransacking; a greedy soldier can pillage the deads from a battlefield, and so forth. Can you as player digest that smoothly?
Be aware that you will be asked, for discretion through whispers, if any of these situations are to be Faded to Black - for example you could end up prisoner of the enemy, but you would not like to undergo the emoted process of how pain is inflicted to extort informations from your character.
Is there anything else not here mentioned, that you are sensitive to and you desire for us to know about?
_______________________________
Player Situation Handling.
Situation nr.1: You receive a whisper that someone is attacking you in a ranged way, a snipe, a throw of dagger or else; in a public place. Eventually patrolled by NPCs too. How do you react?
Situation nr.1.1: What do you think it would be the guild reaction if we were to play along?
Situation nr. 2: Another playing character attempts to mind control or affect the decisions of your character, pushing it to do things that would hurt the guild or compromise it.
Situation nr.2.1: What do you think it would be the guild reaction if we were to play along?
Situation nr. 3: You and another player OOC agreed beforehand that the other player would rob you of something extremely important, or maybe even abuse your toon in an alley, or cut a finger off your hand. But the other player then agreed that as your toon would seek revenge his character would lose a full hand, or a foot. But in the end after the RP plot started and your character suffered its part of the deal, the other player does not wish to maintain his side of the deal. How do you react?
____________________________________
You and the guild.
Would you attend an event that does not suit your tastes but it is a guild event? (Example: We have RP-PvP in full PvP terms, would you skip it if you do not like PvP. -- We have a recruitment drive envisioning that you stand still for the show for 1-2 hours, which in your mind is boring.)
Which importance do you give to your personal plots, compared to the benefit of the guild through your presence and commitment sacrificing your own small scale, personal / private roleplay to an extent?
Would you be able to forfeit your own RP and compromise to an extent with your char to be able to fit in the guild, and keep to be in the guild? Yes - this is a clear mixing of OOC and IC here for the sake to stay in the guild, assuming you like it, for how the IC would lead elsewhere.
Will you fully and entirely accept to disregard or keep away from anyone who is in the guild official blacklist? (Yes we do have one; which also includes people which could desert and would logically be dead but for instance they refuse to die at OOC level, or other similar devoid of consequences RP sketches, or OOC pricks which we want to keep away from, etc.)
Are you fully aware that the guild will dictate how you do wear uniform, which weapons you use, and even could impose you to change your haircut if you look like a cartoon character?
Can you cope well with getting told what to do, bossed around and commanded on your character - given in real life parents, teachers, your boss at work, etc do it already? Are you inclined to play a rebel?
Be aware we do not expect you to join the guild and begin to argue on uniforms, or how we do things or handle situations.
________________________________________
Of consequences.
Would you accept your character to face consequences over his/her actions that could even to lead to their death in some extreme situations - such a desertion, or a very poor decision in a DMed event?
Which other consequences you would rather go through in terms of possible disciplinary punishments if your character would be due to them?
Let us assume your character has done something wrong, and is set to dig latrines. Would you rather roleplay the situation or log off and pretend it is done?
________________________________________
Player Skills and Assets beyond the game.
Do you have any talents at avail? (Editing screenshots, or even drawing? Mounting up clips and movies or doing machinimas? Etc)
If you would settle in the guild would you perform work for the guild?
If you would work for the guild - like to help with graphics for the webpage - or for the guildies - like AA banners and images - would you like to make profit about it? Talking purely of ingame gold - how much would you expect in relation to what? (Example, AA banner = X gold, a drawing of a portrait Y gold.)

Server & Custom Lore.
What's your perception on Custom Lore guilds?
Do you believe in Server Lore and its evolution? What do you define Server Lore and what would you accept as Server Lore?
