[DONE] Application for TOG - Rift

[Orranos]

Greetings! I am Orranos (in Rift it is Ouranos). Ouranos is the Roman god of war. We know the word better as Uranus... No jokes, please - I was more enthralled with the "god of war" aspect. The pronunciation is somewhat... unfortunate. I am applying to run with TOG on Rift. I am a 41yr old male and have been playing wow for the past 6 (7?) years. I ran a guild called Order of the Red Rose (ORR) back in 2004 when big guilds were all the rage. We maxxed out at 500 characters and were well known as "good people" on the server Hellscream. At one point we were listed as the 17th largest guild in the Americas. Once ORR came to an end as all good things must, I left and started up what was to be a friends only guild called Blackstone. However the raiding population of ORR quickly realized that the new leadership in ORR didn't know its elbow from its adz. And so my planned friends only guild quickly became a hardcore guild. I ran that for 18 months and finally turned it over to a good raid leader as I was recently married and wanted to enjoy life more. Most recently in Wow I Administered "Inexorable - Blackstone" a horde guild opened up in honor of the Blackstone Ally guild (also on Hellscream). But the core members all took a hiatus to come play Rift. Unfortunately they seem to have scattered to the wind and I am left in a game which I enjoy but with no one to talk to. Thus I am here. My first gaming experience was DnD back in 7th grade and it was pencil and paper and all in my mind. We had an Odyssey console at home. My favorite game was football.
I write requirements and tech specs for a living, so I apologize for being long winded. But hey you all said you wanted to know about me. Once I get to know you I have a pretty wicked sense of humor.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Cheers!

So noted - Ouranos is Greek god of Sky.
I would also like to bring over Kenzie a young mage and Blackstone an even younger warrior at somepoint....And Probably a cleric which I need to think of a name for but I suppose I'll need to check with Vagrant Zero before I name the cleric, you know to make sure I don't make a mistake.

Hiyas, once you get approved by a moderator, post your character names here for the Rift guild:

Then just let us know in the TOG channel your post number from the top right corner, and you'll be done and in.

Oh boy I'm probably going to make a terrible first impression but this just bugged me and I just need to correct it.

The Roman god of war is Mars (Mars is red, like blood), not Uranus. In fact Uranus isn't a Roman god at all, he's a Greek god, the god of the sky. His Roman counterpart is Caelus.

Look on the bright side, in the future, you won't have to deal with the funny name should you name yourself after the actual Roman god of war.

To Vagrant Zero -

What a wonderful first impression you've made with your need to correct me! I will remember you always for it.
In fact I will store my memory of you in the circular file where I store all my memories on my ex-wife who also felt like she needed to correct me at every turn.

I do hope you take this message in the spirit it was intended.

Cheers!

To the rest of you. I am very much enjoying myself so far, thanks for extending the invite.
