I'm submitting this as my official petition for Kaia to become the next Ajah Head for the Red Ajah.
A little bit about me: first and foremost, I love to write. I think that shows through in what I've written at the site thus far... or at least I hope it does. I'm passionate about role play, and I do it to have fun. My goal in every thread I'm in is to make it as enjoyable as possible for myself and for whomever I'm writing with.
I'm very active and I try to respond within 3-4 days, tops. (It's a little crazy with the holidays right now, but I'm trying!) I've written with a number of people since I've joined, and am always looking for new faces and characters to encounter. I enjoy the challenge of pushing myself creatively and putting my characters through all sorts of pleasant and not-so-pleasant things, so I'll roll with almost anything.
I try to offer the same chances to the people I write and plot with, and am delighted when character growth happens because of it.Sadly, most – if not all – of the places I used to role play at are no longer active, but I spent the bulk of my role play time writing for WoT, and was the most active at the Portal Tower, and at the STower/CTower (Cuendillar Tower)/Blightborder. I was Keeper of Chronicles and the Mistress of Novices at the Portal Tower, but this was back during the early days of WoT role playing, so there wasn't a lot of structure to follow. At the CTower/Blightborder, I was a Sitter for the Green and White Ajahs, as well as being board admin/society leader for the Randland group. We were the 'others'... Wolfkin, Seafolk, Aiel, characters that didn't want to be part of the WT, BT, or WY. I was responsible for seeing that everything ran smoothly and for making sure that members of Randland always had someone available to write and plot with.
I want to be the HoA for the Red Ajah because I am utterly fascinated by the fact that the GT version is nothing like the canon Red in the books. I can bring all of the passion and joy I have for writing and role playing into the HoA role.
IC wise, I have some thoughts and ideas.
In the books, and the way the Red Ajah is played out on most sites I encountered it's not an easy Ajah to deal with by any means. Outside of itself, the Red Ajah is not popular; inside of itself, it's full of volatile personalities, some with with illusions of grandeur. But that's the kind of attitude the WT Red Ajah promotes. I originally transferred Kaia over to play with Jaryd and Marla, but now that the HoA position is vacant, I want to explore the fact that in this reality Kaia was a WT Red... not a “typical” one, but she would have dealt with “typical” Reds. She would have been ostracized by an Ajah that prided itself on being insular. She would know how to handle volatile types, and she wouldn't bat an eye at being unpopular or what have you.
I would love to have characters willing to hate on the Red Ajah, or at the very least, be suspicious, hesitant, uncomfortable... that kind of thing. The Red is a new Ajah at the GT after all, and past history has shown that the WT version is not all puppies and rainbows. What would the rumours be if a WT Red (Stilled by the WT and Healed by the GT) became HoA? Brought to the GT by the only other full Red Ajah member, former M'Hael and infamous Jaryd Kosari? After Carra just... disappears? That has so many good RP opportunities... there would be intrigue, political maneuvering, romance, and maybe even a musical or two thrown in for good measure! There could be rivalries, friendships, enemies being made, all sorts of juicy things! And who doesn't like musicals??
Also, I would see to it that they're eventually moved out of the basement >.> and integrated into the rest of the Tower, like all the other Ajahs.
OOC wise, I don't really have many ideas, not like I do IC wise... but I consider being an active and available HoA would be of paramount importance.
Gah, this got long! I'm sorry for that. <.< Anyway, those are the ideas I have and the experience I've had.
Thanks for your time,
- Jenn (and Kaia).
