Ziin - Death Knight

So uh, no templar huh? That's... That requires me to get creative, doesn't it? Fine! But it's your own fault now.

Name: Ziin.
Yes, it's fancy, it's a Death Knight and the name is pronounced sin. It's not looking cliché but it's actually really, really bad.

Class: Death Knight
Yup, I'm a Death Knight, a Draenei even. And I RP. And it's a female. According to RP 101 that's the worst combo in history, ever.

Specc: Frost for tanking, frost for DPS.
It's mainly because it's the easiest to play as in 5-mans, I've been meaning to try out a dual-wield frost specc for DPS and a blood specc for tanking, but, haven't gotten that far yet.
Dual-wield frost: It's the best out there, but I lack a prober OH. And it just won't drop.
Blood tanking: Best out there, but can only really be seen in raiding and really, I only do heroics these days.

Note for any confusement made: I'm applying as a tank!

So uh, what else do we need to know? Ah, what have I done.

Experience: I've done, well, lots...

Vanilla: MC, ZG, Ony, AQ20, first two bosses in BWL.
(All done as either rogue or healing druid)

TBC: Everything upto and including Brut.
(All of T4 done as: Rogue, shaman, paladin and druid. T5 and T6 done as shaman and druid. T6 and beyond as shaman.)
(Shaman was a healer, druid pretty much everything, same as paladin)

Wrath: Everything upto and including the beasts in TotC 10 and 25.
(Mainly done as warrior, tanked everything apart from Malygos and Sarth, melee'd everything upto beasts. Also done all T7 with a priest and this Death Knight.)

Hurmm... This Death Knight was initially thought of as a DPS and was played as one for the majority of it's living time. Which you can easily spot on the gear.
But.. Hm..

Something about myself as a player:
I've always played this game to win, always. Ever since the start of Vanilla, where I was a complete and utter n00b, back then it was just me, the rogue, and the meters. If I didn't top it, it was because rogues were horrible and was way, way too buffed and should get nerfed. Later on I got better and got a better mentality (Thanks to a lovely fellow member)
With time I evolved, and took up the support roles. Enjoying healing the most through late Vanilla and all of TBC, I did have a taste for tanking with my paladin. But it never really started till I made my (first) warrior. Whom I swiftly abandoned to play on horde side with my other (second) warrior.
I went all the way with this warrior, grinding gear and generally working my ass off, I finally got the guild and raidspot I wanted. With them I played alot and got far, but my friends from the horde disappeared, and I started to look elsewhere. Recent events in my life dictates that I need a more casual approach...

What you can get from me:
I'm an experienced, focused player. I know my stuff and I never stop wanting to be the best. I'm rather mature but I can still giggle if someone says "balls" or farts a good un'.
I'm quiet on Vent, I never really speak much. I've worked on it as, a tank needs to communicate, but I'm still not quite there yet.
I got some flaws aswell, and I'm a person whom believes in honesty, so here goes.
If I'm not challenged or are kept occupied otherwise, I have a tendency to slack. I'm 110% sure this is spottable in most if not all players in this game, as, there's no other reason to play than having fun or being challenged. But I can easily say that I've never slacked to the degree that I got a raid wiped. I've made mistakes, but none I haven't been able to cover.

What I want from you guys:
An enviroment that can keep my attention.
Seriously, I have yet to find a single raidgroup that wasn't filled with groups of people, that just wouldn't take you in. You had basically no chance to be a part of it, and you felt like "just another raider". I don't want that, if you can't make me feel welcome, I don't want to hang around. I'm not saying this counts for you, as I've always been in the big knit-tight hardcore raider groups, so maybe a casual feel is what I need for this.
This is probably the biggest part of my list. I want to be able to take a 5 minute break, now and then. I'm living with other people, including my girlfriend, who requires my attention occasionally. As far as I've seen, you guys seem to accept that, and I'm not saying it's gonna be 5 minutes break every 15 minutes, but... Just 5 minutes per hour or something like that. You know, to show the world I'm not dead.

So yeah, a bottom notice is that... When I write these things, people have pointed out to me that I sound arrogant and generally like a prick or something, but that's so very far from the truth. It's just how it ends up looking like on the screen. (Don't ask my girlfriend tho, I got a few ideas that, that's where the rumours might origin from... )

A final note would be that I'm moving from thursday, and then over the weekend, and I'm not sure when I'll have internet connection in the new place (hopefully within the first week), but I'll be checking this thing till the stuff needs to be packed and sent away, and hopefully get a positive answer.

Oh, and also, I'd like a chat with an officer or something like that in-game, if possible!

With regards, Ziin

PS: I didn't mean to make it this long, it just, sort of happened!

Hi, thanks for the application.

I added you to my friendslist so we can have a chat whenever we both are online

Cool, I'll do the same.

Just gonna add that we moved into our apartment yesterday, and are just about done unpacking today.
But!
It seems we won't have any internet till like, the 11th next month. :/ Which is at the earliest. Sigh.

Anyway, we got a mobile broadband, but, I doubt I'll be able to use it for gaming, anyhow, now you're updated.

ok thanks for letting us know good luck with all the unpacking and stuff

Thanks for letting us know Ziin, hope you like your new place

Alright, final update.

As some may have noticed, I have been logging on now and then the past few days, this is thanks to my girlfriends mobile broadband, which I happened to steal whenever she showered or were cooking or outta the house or something... Anyway, that left me rather unstable.

But now! Today! I had a techie drop by, and he fixed us a 20mbit connection that should be totally stable, as we're stationed 200meters from one of their broadband centrals ^^
This should leave me with proper internet, 24/7, and a lust for improving my character (Which is already ulduar ready!), so, see you guys ingame!

Wohoo!

Just like to add, Ziin makes a fine and fair raid leader - she led the Naxx10
pug run i setup and we did really well, clearing to KT - despite a few peeps
buggering off as puggers do.

Well done Ziin (Thornes is my priest btw)

Heh, thanks
And sorry for leaving you at Sapph, but the mobile broadband gave up on me, and then I had to prepare for work / go to work anyway... But yeah, it went well.
