Welcome to Origin’s Recruitment Thread,
READ ALL BELOW
What are you required to do?
- Write a
freeform application, better if it's well organized in paragraphs. It should be something enjoyable to read.

The Talk thread.
- Be sure to read clan's rules to understand better how things work here:
Rules & Guidelines.
- Do you want to see what our main threads are about? Check this:
Threads List.
What should you write?
- Don’t write useless information, like belt or rank ingame, we can all see it.
- Tell us about yourself,
who are you? what do you like to do?
-
How is your experience in Toribash? Which mods do you like to play? It helps us to understand a bit of your skills and how you and your preferred mods can help the clan.
- How have you found this clan and
why do you want to join Origin?
- What are your skills? It’s important to know how you could contribute to clan's improvement, so if you have some art, videomaking, skills, etc. the possibilities of joining might increase.
- If you can it's advisable to post some singleplayer/multiplayer replays to give us immediately an idea about your ingame skills.
- To prove you have read the first post at the bottom of your application put
"purple monkeys run wild in the red forest"
- Don’t write anything like “I’m funny but I can be serious/mature when I need to”. If you are mature/funny we will notice it by reading your app.

Hey (Origin)!
INTIMIDATING WALL OF TEXT INBOUND
I know that this is longer than a paragraph, but I wanted to make an application the really shows how much I want to join the clan. that's not to say length is everything, but I did put time and effort into this.
why I want to join: I've been interested in joining a clan for a while, and I found yours. I have been invited to a few clans, (not officially, but people asking ingame) and have checked them out, but none really seemed to appeal to me that much. But when i saw yours, and the members I have met ingame, It looked like the clan is actually active, and It's members are skillful.
Disclaimer: I know I am only a blue belt, just over 200 games played. I don't know if you only accept higher belts into the clan. on the other hand, I have maintained a 64% - 66% win/loss ratio, and i'm only getting better.
also, the vast majority of my time in toribash is spent in singleplayer, usually parkouring. I know that most people will automatically look at the games I have played, and my belt as a way to see how much experience I have, but those 200 games are only multiplayer. I have played much, much more single player. if my time in single player counted, I would say I have 800-900 games played.
What I can contribute to the clan: I joined (Divine) a few days ago, but I soon realized that it is not active at all, and has very few members. on the other hand, I see (Origin) members all the time in toribash.
I really love going on the forums and helping people, and just being a part of the community. I am aware that my post count says otherwise, but most of those have been in the last two days, and i'm not losing interest either.
Another thing is that I am very mature ingame. I say good game (not gg) at the end of every game, regardless of whether I won or lost, I never flame, rage, quit out of anger, or use excessively bad language. I do joke around sometimes with other players, but I wouldnt call myself immature. I never put down other players either(put down as in kill, I do that all the time ),
and I generally try to be respectful as I can to others ingame, because I know that behind that behind that username on the screen, there is someone with feelings and a unique personality. sounds cliche, I know. but it's true.
I think that if someone were to use me as an example for (Origin), I would give them a good image for the clan, at least how I act ingame. If I am accepted, I would definitely post on the clan forums often, I had the (Divine) thread as my homepage while I still wanted to be a part of it.
About me when i'm not mindlessly staring at my screen:
-I am 15 y/o
-name irl: Erik Brown
-I saw someone put their skype in an application, so: erikbrown117 (best way to contact me, I am on my computer almost everyday)
-I am in the Pokemon fandom (nobody understAAAAAAnds)
.................................................. .................^get it? probably not
-live in massachusetts (utc -5)
-I am going to be learning how to code in html soon, and already know a small amount of java.
-I am okay at photo editing, and have photoshop cs6
to an extent, those last two things can be something I can contribute to the clan.
Replays: here are a few of my replays (bottom of post). I am getting better at parkour and tricking very fast, but still have much to learn.
btw the last one is the run i usually use
I have also included the mods required for these replays (last three files), which you should download before watching any of my replays. my latest replay, Mirrors edge 2, is 4,500 frames long. If you do not want to watch the whole thing, that is fine by me. but I do consider it one of my favorite replays, so if you have the time, please do
sorry that this application is a bit long, but I hope you guys consider my request and accept me into the clan
Regards, illuminati
Hello,
This Is My second app which hopefully will better also i was told i swear too much for my age so all swears will be replaced to make it fun for the whole family!
Intro
My name is James Panayi , im British ,born feb 6th 2002, and so im 12/13 as of writing this but don't let that put you off. i am still 12/13 so you should probably expect me to have the intelligence of one but hopefully i wont because every one knows that 12/13 year old are just giant Bunny-Huggers,But on a positive note i do sound a lot older then my age!
IRL
Im told that im funny but i have a feeling that's because its not hard to make people laugh at earlier ages. im in the top set for my classes so i guess i could be classed smart for my age but i dont know the amount of truth to that. im pretty damn lazy and i either sleep ,play games or eat in my spare time, reason being im not particularly fond of human interaction because i feel like im going to do something so terrible and then every ones going to hate me, i guess that sentence could have just been "very anxious". i hate most people in my school ,which is about all the social interaction i get ,so sorry if im anti-social, shy or just in general a giant Female-Dog but people on the internet are different and not just the kid-nap and hack you way. a good majority of people on toribash aren't people who threaten to stab you if you talk about something they find to be offensive which is a nice change but going back to what i said about most people in my school, if i do like you then i really do, so you know... I've got that going for me!
InGame
Name: savlon (in toribash) Mecronite (Steam and other games)
Prev. Clans: Respect Is painful (Rip)
Reason for leaving: Not many players in-game or on forums.
belt: black belt. about 550 games till 2nd dan at the point of writing. although probably has gone down.
skills: Judo, aikido/aikindoBigDojo, m/wushu also greykido which might not count as its just aikido with slight alterations.
I've played toribash for about 2 years now most of which was on the stand alone version not steam. i have 2 alt accounts which are TheOwll and infurnos and really only used them when i had been off for a while and need to get some of my skill back.
Gaming in general
I have been a gamer since a very young age as i used to watch my dad play half-life when i was about 3 years old and had a playstation 2 which i loved the hell out of before getting an xbox 360, although only got my real first gaming computer about 2-3 years ago and now have 166 games on steam and counting. Gaming is just about all i do and i really do enjoy it! My first game on that pc was saints row 3, although i played it on a pretty Human-waste pc at the time and so was given my birth-day present early so i could play it, and thats where my base pc is from. Although SR3 was my fist game on the better pc i had, garrys mod basically my first game i owned privately and have put (on this steam account) about a whole month into it but i did play for ages on a shared account with my brother.
Hobbies
Games
Art - when im not doing any of the 3 thing i listed, im probably drawing, im not the best but enjoy it.
Video editing - i have a youtube channel but my videos suck mainly because of the content and not editing, i do have good programs to use and so i use them and have fun doing it.
Music - i play guitar and have done for years now, i dropped my tutor when i felt like i could do it my self and so have been every since.
Anime - okay so this isn't really a hobby but it might as well be its one of the things i do most and i damn enjoy it!
Game making - im currently making a small game and it is my first so probably not any good but im okay with that, im using unity because it easy to use for someone getting into game making and so far i've found it great.
Appearance
im a really quite tall (do not know exact size) with size 9/10 feet and i have incredibly messy afro type hair which is a dark brown (almost black) with regular brown eyes. apparently i have "plucked eye-brows" which is told to me almost every day even though they aren't plucked ,very big nostrils and a square-ish face. Turned on yet?
Why I Want To Join
one: your one of the top clans in toribash and being in the clan would be fantastic.
Two: it gives me a community to interact with and be a part of and gives more chances to make friends which i have none of.
Three: it would be nice to be active more on forums/toribash and origin gives me that chance as my last clan had very few people in so not high chances of meeting in game and i don't believe it was very active which is why i left. (i am not very active on forums, im more of a lurker type mainly because i dont have anything to post about but i feel like origin will give me a chance to)
End
Thanks for reading and thanks for you time and i ,hopefully, this is better then my last application (side note: as i mentioned in my last app, i beat about 6-7 origin members in a row on aikido big dojo- some of the names: Zeus, Foxire , -Demon , oOMEGLES - which again as i said in my last app why im applying as i didn't think i was good enough to apply and also that can give you an idea of my skill as i have only one semi-decent replay because due to graphical glitches i had to reinstall and didn't make a back up of my replays :/ that one replay is down below) - James
"purple monkeys run wild in the red forest"
