Q: How old are you? What country are you from? What do you do in the real world, and what do you want for the future?
I am 23 years old and I hail from from Brisbane, Australia. I work at McDonald's and I am a university student; next semester I will graduate with a triple major in English, Japanese and Creative Writing. With my degree I'm aiming to get back to Japan and teach English for as long as possible - aiming for 2-5 years, maybe more.
Q: Why did you pick the names "Rah'ven" and "Yolkìír"?
My characters are usually named with purpose and are somewhat symbolic of their nature or story. Rah'ven is actually the exception to that rule - although he was named with the mysterious Jedi Master Revan in mind.
Yolkìír is a Dragonish (see: Skyrim) name meaning "Fire Child" - representing her both physically and metaphorically as she is a red-skinned Pureblood Sith with a fiery passion. She is cool and collected on the outside, but don't let her fool you into thinking she's content - she merely saves her whirlwind of emotions for battle!
Q: What brings you to SW:TOR?
I've always loved Star Wars - though not nearly as much as I do now! I am also an MMO fan, and as SW:TOR seemed like a mix of those two totally awesome things, I had to try it. I've been playing since the day BioWare opened the APAC servers.
Q: Which of the planets is your favourite, and which is your most hated?
I like particular planets for particular reasons. As far as aesthetics goes, I love both Voss and Ilum for their breathtaking landscapes and colourful skies. However, I think that Imperial Balmorra and Imperial Corellia have the best planet story-lines. If I had to live on one, I'd choose either Alderaan or Dromund Kaas.
Q: What do you love about the Guild?
I love the family feel about it. I'm extremely picky when it comes to guilds - I don't make friends easily, and I tend to guild-jump ... I don't stay in a guild for more than a week unless I feel like I belong there - which is how I feel about us!
Q: One thing to change about the game would be:
I don't think I'd change much about the game ... I like most of it the way it is ... except perhaps I'd like to include MORE story! I am a story buff when it comes to gaming. I'd particularly like to see more content in the companion story-lines! I wished they'd introduced same-sex romance with companions, too.
Q: What do you love about the game?
I love Warzones and Flashpoints, but I think that above everything else, I love the story-lines and the lore - I mean I loved the movies, don't get me wrong, but if anyone asked me what I love most about Star Wars in general ... I'd tell them I love the lore of the Old Republic!
Q: Are there any Guild events you would like to see happen in the future?
I would love to see hide-and-seek and World Boss events, perhaps even Guild Warzones! We might be able to get a team from each faction of the Guild and go head-to-head in a Warzone!
Q: You’re a Sith Marauder and a Jedi Guardian - what made you pick those Classes?
I intend to play at least one character of every class for the story-line; but seeing as my first character was a Sith Warrior, the moment I realised Marauders could duel-wield, I HAD to be one! I definitely favour Yolkìír's story-line. I also really like my Jedi Guardian, Rah'ven - he's a tank! He just doesn't die!
Q: Any final words?
I'd like to thank all of you for welcoming me into this family and making me feel like I belong here. I love you guys! <3
