- Character Name: Kalila

- Jobs at 75: WHM & SAM, soon to be RDM

- Do you have all of the appropriate sub jobs leveled for these jobs?: Yes

- Notable gear for your jobs:

Maximum MP Set	Healing Magic Set	Healing MP Set
This is my Maximum MP set. This is probably the set I've worked on the longest and cherish the most. It consist of Dryad Staff, Magic Strap, Hedgehog Bomb, Zenith Crown +1, Morgana's Choker (I also have Rep. Gold Medal for when I'm in the main lands), Loquac. Earring, Magican's Earring (for when I sub smn, it's my favorite sub out of the 3 I use), Blessed Briault, Zenith Mitts, Vivian Ring ^^, Serket Ring, Blue Cape +1, Hierarch Belt, Zenith Slacks, and Llwyd's Clogs (gives more MP than Zenith Pumps +1 :D). Only improvements are HQ Zenith Mitts and Slacks, and a Blessed Briault +1. My MP with a SMN sub is 1461.	This is the set I'm wearing the most. This set can push Cure V up to outstanding numbers, I've seen it over 1,200 w/o Divine Seal in Temenos. I do have 2 or 3 weird armor combination's, the neck, feet, and ammo. I've studied the cure equation and found out that those piece provide the largest boost in cure potency. Improvements would be salvage feet, Whm belt, and if i decide to change my moogle hat to the mage one.	This is my Healing MP set. It combines HMP gear with Max MP gear to provide the highest mp restoration possible. Virtually no improvements here unless you count star / celestial rings.
Bar Spell Set	Haste Set	Repose Set
This is my Bar Spell set stripped from other gear that does not effect it. Elemental resistance goes up 1 every 5 Enhancing Magic levels. My Bar Spells currently are up to 120 w/o enhancing magic merits which i do plan to do in the future. Very little improvements except for the cape from sea that gives enhancing magic.	A very basic set. I've stripped the other gear for you to see it. This is my haste gear which gives me 26% haste to reach the equipment cap of 25% haste. One of my favorite sets to make my whm more effective.	This is my Repose gear. It consists of Light Staff/Grip. Elite Beret, Enhancing Torque, Nashira Manteel, Goliard Gloves/Feet and Insect Ring with Omega Ring. I have managed to sleep Ouryu with this without a Black Mage sub.
Enfeebling Magic Set
This is my enfeebling magic set. I dont use this much but when i do use it it works! lol. I use this set when RDM's aren't around. Gives a great boost in enfeebling magic.

- Which time zone are you in? What times do you play? : I'm CST, I have times available virtually all day.

- Do you have Sky/Sea Access? : Yes

- Do you have Dynamis-Xarcabard Access? : Yes

- Are you available to do Dynamis, and Einherjar at the LS's posted times all the time? : Yes

- End-game experience: I've helped run a Linkshell for almost a year now. I've been a member of that Linkshell for 2 years. That Linkshell was TheGekkoStatee and our main events were Sky, Sea, ZNM, SCNM, Dynamis, Limbus, and KS99 while doing some other forced pop NM's occasionally (like swift belt or optical hat if needed, or reverend mail also if needed, or bomb queen ring, so on). What I did for the shell was developed and maintain our lotting system which I designed entirely in Excel. This was designed last January, and was perfected by February. It pulled the points off of our Linkshell Website and then calculated through an equation which I sorted members into groups based on Jobs (job priority for the item), and Attendance Rank. Through many equation I programed Excel to calculate Item Priority, which I then posted on our website. I did this for over 300 items, twice a week, for almost 10 months. This process may seem long but with the help of excel it takes no more than 30 minutes. I also took attendance everyday (because I needed the information for my program). That means I was there every single day for every event for 10 months. I also ran and maintained the Linkshell Web Site. I was the head leader on the web, and a sub leader in game.

- Are you willing to drop whatever you are doing and race to HNM's when they pop? : Yes

- Do you have all relevant Outposts and Past Maws: Yes

- Ventrilo Access? : Yes

- Previous Server(s) and Linkshell(s): Server: Caitsith Linkshell: TheGekkoStatee

- Reasons for leaving said Server(s) and Linkshell(s): Our Linkshell wanted to change servers (to Pandemonium). Two of the Three Leaders went while Dameon and I went our seperate ways. We decided to go our separate ways to see more of whats out there and to get a new start and meet new people. It has been fun on Caitsith. We met a lot of really cool people. Most have come and gone and a lot of them have server transfered. Dameon left command of the Linkshell to another leader and split the Linkshell funds among members. We wish to experience more of the game aspect including the HNM experience. We did not have much of a chance to experience this part of the game and would really love to.

- Any additional information you want to add: This Linkshell was reccommnded to me from one of your own members. Back on Caitsith he was known as Carljr but here his character's name is Lilgangster. This application is connected to Dameions Applicaiton which I will post shortly for him.

- Jobs at 75: SAM, PLD, NIN, THF, RNG. Me and Kalila will be leveling RDM as well.

- Do you have all of the appropriate sub jobs leveled for these jobs?: Yes

- Notable gear for your jobs:

Samurai
TP Gain Set 1	TP Gain Set 2	TP Gain Set 3
This is my Haste set up for Sam. It's a fairly standard gear set and works out for must situations. It's a 6 hit build with a fairly decent amount of Haste to go along with it.	This is my Attack and Accuracy Setup. For higher leveled mobs it is good and well balanced that gets the job done. I use Hachiman Kote +1 so i can keep the 6 Hit build that I desire.I wont need them once I finish Usukane feet though. I'll full time haste in my hand slot when I do finish them.	This is my Polearm Setup. I use this for when i Merit and the occasional bird NM. I've had merits in Polearm for a while mostly cause I was leveling DRG bu stopped. ATM I am currently in the proccess of removing them to cap sword for PLD. Almost finished doing that.
Weapon Skill Set 1	Weapon Skill Set 2	Weapon Skill Set 3
I use this setup mostly when I sub warrior or fighting mobs that aren't a challenge. It can easily get through the defense of the mob, and with war sub it makes it happens more often on higher leveled mobs.	I use this setup for when I'm fighting against enemies with very High Defense and/or Evasion.I also use this most of the time for when I am subbing Ninja. Provides me with enough Strengh and Attack to get through any mobs defense.	For Pole Arm WS'ing.
Tanking Set 1		Tanking Set 2
This setup is for when I'm tanking with a warrior sub. I mainly use this in Salvage, works out nicely on Chariots. I'm still able to put out the dmg I love but get hit for less which is a great bonus.		This is my Evasion Tanking setup that works out very nice for me. I sub in haste for Ichi and Ni. Occasionally I'll use the Stun Grip but its rare, Double Attack is always better.
Paladin
Enmity Set	Haste Set	Magic Dmg Down Set
This is my main Tanking Setup, it changes alot through the course of tanking of mob but this is how it starts, alot of enmity put in to it but it works perfect.	This is my Haste Set up mainly for Nin sub but its also good with using flash and cures, most of the time i sub out the head for Bahmaut Mask for the Enmity for flash.	This is my Magic Resist setup it has helped me a lot on so many mobs in the past, 0 dmg on Avatar 2hr is so cool to see. I also use Iron Ram's Polearm with this set.
HP Set		Shield Skill Set
This is my Hp gear mainly for curin myself to gain hate or when the time comes and i need to use sprits whithin.		This s my shield Skill Gear, Mostly for casting Ichi and Repraisl it comes in handy a lot of the time really useful gear set.

- End-game experience: I started off in a Linkshell called EyeofthePhenoix. The Linkshell leader's name was Jakel and he was pretty down to earth. We did a lot of sky gods and a few HNMs: Aspid, KB, Faf, Tiamat once, Vrtra, Jorm and lost. Then I went back and helped a friend for a bit, and help some friends get some armor in sky in a Linkshell called Famila. Stayed there for a while until the leader kind of took aside a few members and made another Linkshell. She offered me a spot but I chose to leave. I took all the people she didn't ask and made a Linkshell called TheGekkoStatee. Also a lot of people from my old social Linkshell and a few other members from Alluan's Linkshell. Alluan became a Leader in TheGekkostatee when it was formed. We made this Linkshell and it started off slow. Only did sky at first but it grew into something very large. Once was a Linkshell from members no one wanted became a Linkshell that no one believed in. We conquered everyone's expectations and managed to make a full fledged Linkshell that was capable of doing Sky, Sea, ZNM, SCNM, Dynamis, Limbus, KS99 and more. We almost never lost a fight near the end and we were getting more productive and efficient in every area. Members felt as if the Linkshell was a family. Everyone knew everyone, we had our lil fights but in the end we stayed together as one and conquered every challenge we went up against, or died with honor.
