Welcome to my page!

I've been playing Guild Wars since shortly after it came out came out. However, I haven't been playing GW continuously since then: played it a ton for a few months after its release, then tapered off until the Grenth's Footprint/Sorrow's Furnace released. Since then, I've played intermittently, until recently, and I'm back into the swing of things in GW.

I've also been playing PvP more, but usually only in the Competitive or Team Arenas because 1) I don't belong to a guild (I don't want to at this point) or have an extensive list of friends to ring up and play Hall of Heroes with, and 2) I'm still testing out various builds I'm working on. In addition, I'm put off by the "GLF Rank 3+ ___" since I'm pretty much nowhere near rank 3. I'm working on it though, and I intend to play more HoH once this college semester ends, and maybe even join a good guild.

Characters
Scorched Sun - Elementalist / Necromancer or Mesmer Lvl 20
 * This is the first character I made when I started playing Guild Wars. Admittedly, I haven't been playing him much lately since I've been farming with my monk in Grenth's Footprint/Sorrow's Furnace.
 * Currently he's set at a Fire Magic/Earth Magic/Arcane Echo build

Faith Full Eagle - Monk / Elementalist or Necromancer Lvl 20
 * I've been playing this character a lot lately in Grenth's Footprint/Sorrow's Furnace, since monks are loved by all groups :-D. I'm usually a healing monk, sometimes with Well of Power if my team doesn't have a Minion Master (or if he or she doesn't summon minions much).  Otherwise, my skill set has healing skills (I've come to put Healing Breeze into disuse. Don't use it.) with a bit of protection.

Xena The Haradrim - Ranger / Mesmer Lvl 11
 * This character is still in the Ascalon region. I haven't moved her forward, since I'm too lazy to have her do so :-P.  I'll probably get around to it; either that, I might delete her and start a new PvE character.

My fourth slot is saved for my PvP character. It changes periodically. Right now, I'm playing around with a Necromancer/* character in various matches.

Games I'm Currently Playing

 * Guild Wars (obviously)
 * Unreal Tournament 2004
 * My favorite game of all time. My favorite weapon is the Shock Rifle.  Lately I've been having fun with the Minigun to shoot down those Lightning Gun-players since I have no skill with the Lightning Gun.
 * I've also played the original Unreal Tournament and Unreal Tournament 2003
 * The Sims 2
 * Also includes its expansions.

Games I'm Waiting For

 * The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
 * THE game I'm waiting for
 * As much as it pains me to wait longer, I'm glad they delayed it a bit. I'd rather much have a perfect, bug-free game with some community-suggested improvements (as stated in the delay statement of "high standards" of the community) than a buggy, quick-released game.
 * The next Guild Wars installment
 * My Xbox 360
 * I know, I know; I'm still a PC gamer at heart and always will be. But the Xbox 360 is great too.  (And I do have an Xbox).

About Me

 * Age: 20 - Male
 * General location: Southern California
 * Profession: Full-time college student
 * Major: Medicine - Would like a specialization in anesthetics or in the emergency room. Currently studying to be an RN and then planning on transferring to obtain my BSN and MSN, preferably as a CRNA.  Then perhaps become a physician.  But we'll see wherever God leads me. :-D

Favorite Bible Verses
These are a few of my favorite Bible verses that help guide me in life (based off the New King James Version):

"Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; On You I wait all the day." --Psalm 25:4-5

"But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." --Isaiah 40:31
