I've decided to use the template because it'll simplify things.
--MMORPG background
I've played a little of many, but the longest term one was Perfect World International. I quit around Genesis, although not because of the expansion; because the company insisted on destroying the game with their sales and shop.
I played Dungeons and Dragons Online for a while, Played TERA for a couple of weeks or so. The rest were too short term to mention, they were either rubbish or didn't hold my attention in any decent way. Or I never tried them in the case off Guild Wars 2 and the like. (Had an old PC until November last year.)
--RP experience
I play DnD every couple of weeks and we try to keep in character as much as possible when it comes to our turns. Aside that, it's mostly me in my own head as I play games. I understand the concept and find what I've done enjoyable but I'm not very experienced.
--Character ideas/info
I've not done to much to her that's permanent or decided as of yet (I.E most of it is to be decided at convenience or probing. She also follows my own actions to a strong point since it's much easier for me that way. Once I set a trait or story or background, it'll stay set.), but a few things that have settled and stuff are listed here:
She's orphaned in some way, or potentially exiled with no knowledge of it. This is why no clan letter is part of her name.
Traits are hazy for now but impatience will be one of them due to:
She started out as a Pugilist with the goal of becoming a Monk and an eventual weaponsmaster, but due to circumstances and a lack of assistance in her goals she's found herself coerced into healing and is now training up to become a white mage. She's not particularly happy about this, although she looks forward to the mythical "Holy" she's heard about once or twice. (to be more precise, I got pissed at not being able to do any instances and started healing again (I got sick of healing long ago in games) but did it anyway just to get places. Also Holy.)
 Story progression is very much her progression. I understand a lot of people RP away from the game story, but her story is linked to the role the game itself gives her, even if this does result in a bit of godmoding I promise to keep it down. For the purposes of events I'll probably make her more jack of all~ as opposed to master of all~ to avoid it being an issue. I've even considered her ability to be sporadic, RP wise (I.E she can be quite poor at things shes often great with fairly randomly) but I'm not sure if it's wise considering she's my Main and probably my only character.
--How did you learn about the coalition?
Phase 3+ on the beta forums and peoples signatures.
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
Somewhere around medium. I don't like being all super serious all the time, but I do like a decent consistency and to do most things in character where it's reasonable. (I.E doing a dungeon with others who RP everything I type in the chat box would be IC comments.) But being allowed to have gaps and mistakes in a character.
--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc)
I myself am Male, I live in England, I work at a sports direct warehouse but on a night-shift so my sleep is more like an Americans. I swear a lot (But I type well, so the game filter will absorb it if you leave it on) and I can be occasionally very moody or hyper.
Most of my time outside work is game playing, with occasional bouts of meeting friends and going to the pub or similar.
I'm a little paranoid and will as such never share my real name online and a million other things like that.
My sense of humour is mixed, but I like black humour the best, although cheap jokes and puns are much loved too.
You'll struggle to offend the real me, I can take most things in stride.
I'll accept being wrong if I am and you can convince me or prove it. (I think this is worth putting in here, too few people can deal with the idea they're incorrect.).
Big one: I'm better at answering specific questions than filling in sheets like this, so if you want to know something, ask it and I'll reply when I look in again later.
I'm not great at writing like this.
I can be very burst-like with my social integration. Sometimes I sit in the corner for a long time and slowly start to join in with things, other times I just sort of explode and become part of groups quite quickly. This goes hand in hand with my moods, although there's no correlation in which will happen when.

Done, glad to be here and sorry if this sounds as dry to the readers as it does to me. I'll be looking to join a linkshell soon, and later on a Free Company. I may wait on the FC until after I have settled into the game properly though (I.E it's become part of coming home, playing, sleeping, waking up work, repeat). Right now I'm on an insane burst since I went to my first ever LAN event this week (Insomnia) and had the week off work so I'm going to be unstable in my commitment.
