*Enters the parade grounds, and dismounts from his war horse, ThunderCloud, and sheaths his longsword, which he calls The Harvester. He snaps to attention, saluting.*
Private first class Bursius reporting Sir!
I have met many good people in all three regiments, many of whom I come into contact with on a daily basis on the boards. Everyone I have met seems to be a person of honor and dignity.
I rode in on a massive war horse, which I call ThunderCloud, and I carry a longsword which I call The Harvester. I admit I need weapon skills, chiefly the sword and the bow, though the spear and the dagger may be used to great effect as well. I feel comfortable on a massive horse built for hard and intense fighting, though not so much for extended marches.
I am joining the Cavalry.
While serving as a member of the cavalry, I would like to also study under a certified blademaster, since sword forms are an important part of fighting. Archery skills, chiefly the crossbow, are important for fighting on horseback as well. I would like to study an integrated regimen of skills, if that is possible, while progressing in rank as a member of the Band.
*Salutes everyone in the formation.*

Good shot!
