Application - Thobias - Paladin

[Thobias]

1. Name, class and level
   Thobias Steelhammer
   Paladin - Holy/Retribution
   Level 80
   
   
2. Character background
   I sadly don't have much experience with RolePlaying (Ironic to be on an Rp server, eh?), but certainly have no problem in attempting to RolePlay. Thobias was created back in July 2009 along with my girlfriend's own character. (We were using the Recruit a Friend program.)
   
   I had a previous Paladin on a different server, but soon abandoned him to follow my IRL friends to Moonglade.
   
   
3. Preferred role in raids
   I feel I am able to adapt and work in either a DPS or Healing situation, as expected of me at that time. I take equal pleasure from both tasks, so will perform with utmost effort.
   
   
4. Why do you want to join Ebon Flame?
   I wish to make friends among the Moonglade raiding community and hopefully acquire some skilled teammates who can teach me how to fully utilize my class.
   
   I have also heard the name 'Ebon Flame' said around a few of my IRL friends, mainly commenting on how well the guild is doing on a raiding basis. I wish to put myself forward as an attempt to join that effort.
   
   
5. Recommendations
   Nil from this guild.
   
   
6. Previous membership of other guilds
   I used to be a Healer for the 'Wandering Spirits' and was stationed in the B-group. I experienced mainly Karazahn Pre-WotLK.
   
   
7. Experience
   I have done many 5-man instances as a Paladin, and Karazahn for raid experience. Although it has been a while since I have done anything upon reaching level 80, apart from a few runs through Trial of the Champion as a Retribution DPS.
   
   
8. RL age bracket
   18-21
   
   
9. WoW Armory link

   (Gear is sadly somewhat mismatch. I hope to correct that with some Instance runs.)
   
   
10. Talents

11. Equipment
    (This is the upsetting part)
    As can be seen by my Armory page, I lack pretty much decent-level gear for both specifications. As stated previously, I wish to improve upon this but would prefer to with the security of a guild behind me, steering me in the right direction.
    
    
12. Raiding intentions
    My intentions as a raider would be to namely make sure that I get to see the end-content before the new expansion. Karazahn was a small taste of what was to come, and I wish to continue this growing desire.
    
    Of course, I would strive to improve myself as a player and a character overall, learning whatever will be taught.
    
    
13. Addons
    I currently use a large list of Addons for my general day-to-day gaming on WoW; including Omen, Recount, Xperl, DBM, Atlas and many others. I'm also currently testing out a new UI mod 'IceHUD'.
    
    
14. The bonus question
    I find that the more pressure that is applied to me the better I work. I have managed to heal my target(s) and others if a secondary healer were to go down, prioritizing on those that need the healing. I gain a thrill of feeling needed in a group, and healing gives me that thrill.
    

I hope that my Application is as solid as I wish it to be. Thank you for looking it over. =)
