Hi Everybody, My name is Sakusami, Saku [sah Coo] for short, and I am a veteran gamer looking for a place to call home within the world of Wildstar. Several of my friends and I are ramping up to play this game, super excited over the multitude of classes and the sheer awesomeness that is the Dominion. Personally I love the Stalker. My friends, Oxidius, Vansung, and Imobilefiber have already applied to SoH and have done nothing but talk about how great the guild is non-stop; I need to be a part of this.
So for a little background on me, I am about to turn 27, and have been gaming for nearly 24 of those years. I work in the IT field with Oxidius, take martial arts from Vansung, and have been in the military for about 8 years as well [which I am still an active reservist]. I grew up loving RPGS, and as a gamer who got his start on the console, I loved the FF games, moving to Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Link and Zelda:LttP, Legend of Dragoon, Vagrant Story, and a laundry list of other survival horror, action, adventure, and rts games. I would often sit with my friends as a teenager, playstations linked via link cable, tvs turned away, two PS1s spinning at full blast with Command and Conquer Red Alert blaring through our speakers in a massive 2 v ALL skirmish that would last hours. I made my foray into computer gaming with Diablo 1 and SC1. I played EQ as well, but never got too far with it; unfortunately the school I went to didn't have any one else who was playing at that time so it made it difficult for me to branch into MMOs. I remember playing massive amounts of Alpha Centauri, Counter Strike, and an old MUD named Nightmist. I used to play a lot of MUDs, and that was what I think branched me into the MMO world. Runescape, EQ, Lineage, all moved me towards WoW. I have played every expansion of WoW since Vanilla, with the majority of my time dedicated to Vanilla and the current expansion.However I feel it is just missing something. I had no problem coming off of the ESO beta wanting nothing to do with it, but after WildStar, the stalker class was just calling to me.
I love story in games, PVE is highly interesting to me. I like to learn the lore and read some of the quests as I play the game. It is probably a good thing that I am a fast reader. I am one of the co-founders of the WoW guild with Oxideous, and pretty much every free moment that isn't dedicated to work or the military, I spend gaming. Now, I love PVE, but I also need to state I love PVP too! There is something satisfying about building your personal skill up so much that when you step in a ring with someone geared closely to you, you win.
I have tried other high skill guilds in the past, some more relaxed guilds as well, never really dedicating too much to the relaxed guilds...since well, they were relaxed about it all. Because of this I find that I like structure in a guild, I like to have things planned or to help plan. I enjoy getting together with the same group of people, joking around, and just overall having a good time. I like to work with people who can give constructive criticism as well as take it, and overall want to just help the guild out so we succeed at being able to do all of the content that we all are paying for.
For WildStar I will be playing a Draken Stalker. They screamed rogue-like character to me, and that is what I tend to love to play. What really made me laugh, and also has made me contemplate archtype, is the fact that I have had a LONG LONG running joke with friends that I am a rogue tank. I often would charge into battle if I knew there was no chance for us to wipe on the trash and it was acceptable. BUT NOW, I can truly be a rogue-tank! Stalker Tanks, pre-patch, were absolutely great end game Tanks... this would be fantastic for me. Plus, if it turns out I don't actually like it, I am perfectly capable of switching and mastering a melee DPS role as well. If you choose me for your guild, I can promise you will get a dedicated player (when I can be on) who contributes to the guild and participates in guild activities. Not to mention I will be vocal in voice, and across guild chats.
Hopefully you all choose to allow me on board, I look forward to gaming with you all.
