Officer Spotlight with III Cloud III

Adjusting my gloves, I ready myself for this week's Officer Spotlight interview with Cloud, ink and parchment at hand. A terrible rumble suddenly stirs the ground, spilling the vial of ink across my 15k Mesmer hose, dying it completely black (in a fashion more than it should). A mass of iron, steel, pure muscle and uncontrolled fury charges towards my general direction. Cloud was evidently using his Charging Strike stance, exclaiming apologies for being late while doing so. Momentarily letting out a helpless scream, I attempt to dodge his trajectory. Unfortunately his arm contacted my tender face with a clothesline maneuver, sending me hurtling over a village or two. After being resurrected by some passing monk, Cloud catches up for the interview.

Greetings, Cloud. So... what made you become a Warrior?
Oh I just LOVE charging into battles and just helping myself to some fun.

*laughs and adjusts lower jaw* As though that wasn't obvious enough.
AND the profession offers some really impressive armor sets. Especially the Kurzicks' craftmanship! With such heavy armor on, it's easier to stay alive in battle longer, especially upfront.

About your name, do I pronounce it as “Aye El El Cloud Aye El El” or “3 Cloud The Third?”
You can just call me Cloud.

Does your name have any relation to some legendary, giant-sword wielding super-solider hero?
Don't tell anyone, but he's my cousin. He's like my idol.

Why would you share the same name as your cousin?
Why not? *laughs* Our parents usually have parent guild meetings on these matters.

Axe, Hammer or Swords?
Scissors.

I beg your pardon?
When you combine 2 swords together, you get a pair of scissors! It makes decapitation so much easier! SNIP SNIPPITY SNIP!

You wouldn't be an apprentice of Sweedney Todd, would you?
Sydney Thought?

Didn't think so.
HAR?

What's your fighting style?
CHARGE IN FIRST! ASK QUESTIONS LATER!! DIE!!!

So do your comrades willingly follow you charging straight on into danger?
I wouldn't really know. Usually I'm dead first, and by the time someone resurrects me, all the monsters are dead too! Somehow... my death seems to have quite an emotional impact on enemies, so I always try to die first! And they die along!


If you could invent your very own elite skill, what would it be and how would it work?
“To Infinity and Beyond!” For x secs, all party members gain an additional 100 armor, 33% chance to critical, run 33% faster and gain 100 health. When shout ends, heal all party members within earshot 100 health.

Having just defeated the Great Destroyer, your armor has fused together and refuses to open. You haven't pee-ed for hours and now you need to go really badly. What do you do?
Notice the male Warriors' dance? All young male Warriors are trained at an early age with their potty training to deal with such situations. The swinging torso movement coupled with the Frenzy stance snaps the fuse armor apart. Shall I demonstrate?

Please no. Thanks for your time.
Why so serious?!

Join us next time for another intriguing entry of Officer Spotlight as I go properly bandage myself now!
