Greetings, Flesh-heads
I am Fixer, a Bucket from a rather far away civilization. I have been sent here to Earth (and Erinn) as an ambassador to the Flesh-head people in order to guide them towards a brighter future. As a rule I try to limit myself to abilities that Flesh-heads can use, my current favorite being this magiscience you call "alchemy." I have aspired for a few months now, perhaps since Bucketine (August 2013 in Flesh-head time) to acquire for myself a spot among your Royal Alchemists.
I have been in two other Flesh-head guilds before I was accepted into this one, those being "Horobi" and "Theunloved". "Horobi" was where I spent my beginner days and I was quite satisfied having my main toon in it and an alt in "Theunloved" until I felt like I should devote more time into Theunloved, a small, suffering new guild at the time. I told Maoprotohl, leader of "Horobi" and "she" accepted my reasoning and only sent assassins after my bucket twice after I left.
As one of the founding members of "Theunloved" I made it a personal issue to acquire more members, something I myself would say I had a bit of a knack for, what with my understanding of Flesh-head psychology. The guild grew and gained many new core members who were quite dedicated, although a majority of members (at least the ones I didn't recruit) were only active occasionally. We progressed forward in fellowship and struck up quite a few individual friendships along the way.
Perhaps it was because we were such a close knit group (those of us who were active), or something else, but eventually it became somewhat rowdy and raunchy in chat, something I myself contributed in from time to time. That coupled with the leader's recent inactivity due to personal reasons(not her fault), I began to notice a distance between myself and my fellow members. I found myself wishing for something different, as well as to escape the inevitable storm that would brew if I stayed too much longer.
It was then that I began my slow, but casual research into guilds (I use the term "research" very loosely). And I eventually stumbled across a thread on the hub of Flesh-head cyber activity, the NEXON forums, written by your very own Faqirah/Vardah/Yura(?). I decided I liked the semi-serious approach to a gaming group and decided to get into contact with her. We had a brief questioning session in which I learned about "Archanea" and Faqirah hopefully learned a bit about myself.
It was shortly after that when things in my own guild at the time "Theunloved," became to the point where I was finished. So about a week or so after contacting Faqirah the first time I noted her and went through the interview, and was subsequently accepted into the ranks of "Archanea."
And the rest, as they say where I come from is Bucketstory.
Thank you,
Fixer
