[beLTa]

In-game name: Belta
RL age: almost 18
Priest History: I love to role play as priest. I did many role plays related to priest with many people in past. I helped many people getting theirs wives and husbands. I also used to sponsor my money to poor people to make them happy and easy their life to feed their children. I, in the future, want to continue my work and will do it even if not getting accepted. Since I'm applying here, is just to get the official right of being a priest. I am also a manager of San Fierro Driving School and helping poor people getting their licenses to carry on their taxi driver career. And the most good thing is that, I do that for free!
RolePlaying Skills: I am not a good role player, to be honest. But I love to learn more and more from others so I never reject any scenario that comes to me as it's the best opportunity for me to Learn more. On the other hand, my skills are fine enough and acceptable.
How long have you played in Argonath? I'm around here since 23rd of March, 2013.
