Good morning, Pax-Republicans. My name is Sean, and I am a recent applicant/trainee. My main toon in the guild is a Shaman, going by the name Gathornann. I hail from Charlotte, NC where I was born and raised until I joined the US Navy days after turning 19. Around 2002 I was stationed in Mayport, FL onboard the USS Simpson FFG-56, and later I worked as a Corrections Officer in Yokosuka, Japan (~2007). Around that time I met a guy who got me into WoW and it's been Blizzard ever sense. I leveled my first toon to 70 on Frostmourne with an Australian guild called Zen. That really set my expectations for the game in terms of community and commitment. They were very friendly and group orientated, and took raiding seriously but not to the point where you hated it. After I moved back to the states and left the Navy after 8 solid years, I transferred to the US server Arygos. By this time I had leveled every class to 80 and had experimented with each specialization.
I eventually relocated back to Florida and played WoW up until WoD, when I decided to take a break from WoW and played other Blizzard titles (D3, HotS, HS, OW(soon*)). After reading and reviewing all the changes coming for Legion I am ready to get back into the game and came to Pax Republica because a friend (Healashady) recommended you guys.
I am currently employed full time in the Healthcare IT field, and am a foster parent along with my wife. We are taking care of two kids at the moment who have been with us for over a year now. I train 2-3 times a week in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and compete under Team Roberto Traven at local/regional tournaments. My dream is to obtain my black belt in the next 10-12 years and open my own BJJ academy.
All this is to say that while I have a lot going on, I usually make time to play and really enjoy the escape and fun the game can bring. I look forward to meeting and getting to know the guild, and playing with you more as I get my Shaman leveled up.
Please let me know if you guys have any questions for me!
