Character name and race: Rhank - man champion (23) on Silverlode
Age: 40 - yes the big four oh!
Location: Pacific Time - normally early morning (4-7AM) and weekends. Very little if no play after 7-8PM due to real life commitments although there can be exceptions based on planning.
Playstyle: Solo, group, crafting, wondering, casual but serious when the need be. I Raided a few times and found the intensity exciting but wouldn't want to do it everyday.
MMO games you’ve played: WoW and EVE online.

Why kinships should be interested in you. In other words, why choose you and not another player. What do you offer kinships?: I don't know since I've never been a member of any form of Kinship before. I am helpful person by nature and don't mind puting in the the effort. I am a studious, observant, rational, effective, helpful, careful, mature, considerate, and obliging person.

What kind of kinship you are looking for: Something that is casual by nature but serious when the need arises. A kinship where I feel that I could help out and receive help as well. A place where I feel we "knit". My gravest concern is that I wouldn't fit since this is new to me but I'm mature enough to accept critisism and understand it will take some time and effort before friends are made. I don't mind a little RP as it can be fun but become bored by extreme RPing.

My playstyle:
Questing - I usually read all of the quests written works excepting for those - run here - run there or gather 10 warg hides quests (I skipped the water carrying quests). I like to be efficient and effective too but will alway stop to help someone out.
Crafting - I normally reserve a few hours to gathering ingredients and then "grind away at it". I find the mining etc to be a little boring but view it as a necessary evil and I get excited about the weapons to be made. I think crafting adds value to the game although it can be frustrating (if there is one thing that will make me leave LotRO it will be the hard to soft metal's spawn rates).
Roaming - Sometimes I just gather my things and decide to visit a place I've never been seeing what adventures I could have along the way. A relaxed way to enjoy the various scenery and options.

Regarding the Lore: In my early teens I read the Hobit followed by all the Rings books and a few others. I have also seen the movies - both old and new.

Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you.
