"Raelity first joined the guild along with
AltDimension, when his guild, Causa Honouris decided to join Dragoons.
When it comes to class and style there is one that stands out for the
Dragoons and that is Raelity."

Real Life First Name: John
Forum Name: Rae
Main Character Name: Raelity

Where in the real life world do you live?

Cornwall UK.
oggy, oggy, oggy, oi, oi, oi!

How long have you been a Dragoon?

Coming up to 2 years now.

What MMO's have you played?

Jesus, here we go: Matrix Online, Planetside, Star Wars Galaxies, Pirates of the Burning Sea, EVE online, Guild Wars, World of Warcraft, A tale in the desert, Puzzle Pirates (when I was small ) and I played EverQuest2 for about 10 minutes and hated it.

What type of work do you do?

I'm a second year student in college. Unemployed yet still inexplicably well off.

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most?

Hard one, I like all types of games with the possible exception of Championship Manager lol. The first game I played was Red Alert, but Ive played all the old and modern classics in my time.

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing with the Dragoons?

I surf, I longboard skate, I'm a keen film buff, normal Cornish stuff really.

What is your highest character level in the games your a Dragoon in?

Ive got 2 50s one in Matrix, one in Pirates.

How or why did you choose your main character's name?

Well, it was going to be Reality but it was taken. but since Ive chosen it I can see it had better relevance, I mean the Matrix is close to Reality but it isnt, just like Raelity.

What class have you been in various MMOs?

Oh god, In Matrix I was every class that had combat animations, In planetside I'm a pilot and a Sniper, In traditional MMOs (WOW, GW) I'm a Ranger, and I'm a combat capable miner in EVE.

How would you describe your gaming style?

I play a game like its a film, I try to never miss an opportunity to slip a witty line in, and always attempt to pull of ridiculously flashy stunts.

What rank are you in the faction, and what do you bring?

Seeing I'm not actually in any MMOs atm, I guess I'm a plain old rank 2. They havent got rid of me yet so I must bring something useful, Im buggered if I know what it is though.

What is your favourite moment as a Dragoon?

Its very hard to choose, various beating down of tough talking poor players in various games, and that time I punched Scoresby(?) down the stairs and said "see you at the bottom" on vent

What do you like best about the Dragoon?

Our bad reputation, If people hate you that means they fear you too.

If you had to pick one thing to describe the Dragoons, what would it be?

Its long but there is so much in it that is relevant to us.

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

If... by Kipling
