Application for Dzenji

[SimpleZen]

Hello everyone,

I've recently returned to Lineage 2 after many years in most of the other popular MMOs out there. I beta tested Lineage 2 and played briefly in to it's release, but it wasn't my thing at the time. I've been really impressed with how far the game has come since those days, and look forward to seeing everything I can with Dzenji.

Some of my past experience includes:

• Several years playing Ultima Online starting in 1997
  
• Ranged dps and healing for small groups in Asheron's Call
  
• A healing/buffing role as a bard in Dark Age of Camelot
  
• Tanking, healing, and dps in small groups and raids for World of Warcraft
  
• Healing and dps in small groups for Lord of the Rings Online
  
• Played a few different healing classes in small groups for Everquest 2
  
• Healing and dps in small groups in Vanguard
  
• Healing small groups in Dungeons & Dragons Online
  
• .. and played many smaller F2P MMORPGs in healing or caster dps roles
  

I've done a lot of roleplaying before with pen & paper AD&D, but honestly don't do it much anymore. I enjoy playing MMOs in character when I'm around other roleplayers, but I probably won't get too involved in it on forums or outside of game events. It's just not my interest at the moment, but I plan to spend a lot of time on Dzenji helping out anyone, any time, with a focus on keeping people alive to tell the tale.

Dzenji is currently a level 22 Cleric, thanks to the fun adventures and experience I gained tonight alongside Kesia, Kataxenna, AnixaStorageUnit, Philta, and Drifter. I really enjoy the company of the clan members I've met so far, and hope to team up with you all again soon!

Welcome to our forum, Dzenji.

From the sound of things you're planning to go Bishop, is that correct? Always a beneficial class to have, though I would be interested in seeing why a Bishop (traditionally a "good" class) has found their place among darker, "evil" people.

I look forward to meeting you and getting a chance to play with you.

There are some people who spent time near him growing up that would be able to give you more information on him. They would be the rare few that know of his real intentions and goals, but they would never relate such facts to any order of the light to protect Dzenji's wishes. If you sought these people out, they would describe Dzenji as somewhat of an underground Cleric. He's wanted to learn the healing arts since he was young due to seeing the loss of too many people in his life without any ability to do something about it. He's also embittered by that fact, and shuns the existence of any such God or Goddess like Einhasad. Although he could have learned the relatively easier route of dark elemental magic to protect others, he's been strongly affected by the amount of death he has seen so far and doesn't want to be the hand that deals that blow.

Nonetheless, he continues to find ways to play it off effectively when necessary to learn the healing arts from those believers that say the magic comes from such sources. He's almost out to prove them wrong subconsciously, while consciously he believes he's only learning for the benefit and sake of others. It's still a mystery to those that know him if the Gods are granting him the abilities because of his deeper kind intentions, or if the Gods really don't exist as he believes.

So he's a confused mixture of embittered history, hidden disbelief in the Gods/Goddesses of the world, and good intentions. He doesn't feel comfortable in the company of those where he has to hide his bitterness or disbelief in Einhasad, so he's more often found himself in the company of somewhat more underground, "evil" groups where he can be himself and not pretend to be a "good" priestly follower. His greatest ambition is to achieve the rumored miracles of a Cardinal, and however he has to act in a Priest's presence to do so is just a calculated means to an end.

((A little cliché, but very accurate to how I've played him thus far I look forward to meeting you too! ))
