Hi everyone, and thank you for joining.
Here you will find the template with 'information that really should be in your introduction', also I will explain what your introduction should look like.
Important: PM or mail me if you need any help!
Because we are a roleplaying guild you will have to introduce yourself properly, obviously there would be no fun in someone joining the guild and then saying: 'hi, I am Leroy Jenkins, live in Jersey, and play warrior a lot'.
This is why I ask you to share with us the following points of information in your introduction:

1. Character name (this should be the name of the character you are introducing)
   example: Devona
   
2. Age (this should be a fictional age, so not your age or your character's real age.)
   example: 24
   
3. Nation and place of birth (again these should be fictional.)
   example: Ascalon, Rin
   
4. Your dedication (this should be the profession of your character)
   example: "she has dedicated her life to mastering the martial arts of sword and hammer."
   
5. Profession (this should be your character's fictional profession, is he a merchant or is she a court lady)
   example: adventurer
   
6. Your nature (again, this should be fictional)
   example: "Devona is quite serious and very direct in her dealings with other people."
   
7. Your history (important! unlike the example this should include how you got in touch with The Order this will be explained next.)
   example: "Devona's father was one of the leaders of a prestigious and well-respected guild - Ascalon's Chosen. He lost his life defending the city walls against a raid by an Orrian guild during the last Guild War. Devona was only a little girl at the time..."
   

Getting in touch with The Order:
There are several recruitment areas in Tyria, Cantha and Elona where agents of The Ordo Ars Arcanis Temporis look for novices. These locations are places where the Order is conducting research and places where interdimensional/interplanar activity has been reported. A third but less common way of getting in touch with the guild is trough one of its members, these can be (infiltrated) masters at universities and academies, (infiltrated) monks at monasteries, or members out on the field.
Note: the guild member or agent with whom you got in touch need not be existant(, may be fictional).
Areas frequented by recruitment agents and researchers are:

• Tyria:
  Serenity Temple & Pockmark Flats (for research of the crystals and their magical properties)
  Any Bloodstones (for research)
  Augury Rock (for research ánd recruitment)
  Tomb of Primeval Kings (a smallscale experiment with temporal magic went out of control here, it is said that some of the researchers might fase in and out every now and then)
  
• Cantha:
  Shing Jea Monastery (our agents are always on the lookout for promising students)
  Maatu Keep (Kaineng, it's used as a small outpost by researchers and agents)
  Southern Kurzick Territory (researchers have been looking for a way to bring plant life back to this area by using rift-like gates)
  
• Elona:
  Mehtani Keys, Fahranur, Latenda Bog, the Astralarium (all important research locations)
  Gandara the Moon Fortress (formerly)
  The Kodash Bazaar (some of our fund raisers and students can be found here)
  

There are ofcourse more options, since you are not bound to one world in particular, tough your native realm/dimension/plane should be fantasy-themed. (Not can you be from Dagobah young padawan) :p

Last but certainly not least. Write your introduction in paragraph! or it will be deleted!

Good luck writing your introduction, and greetings,
Vincent Quetz
