Name: Quintin Potgieter
Email: q.potgieter0916 at gmail dot com
Location: Gauteng/South-Africa
Availability: I am a homeschooling student and will be able to dedicate 10+ hours a week to the project
Age: 19
Occupation: Student at my.impaq
Skills and Experience: Awarded best writer in my previous school, I am highly skilled in story writing, poetry and technical writing.
Motivation:
1.) To gain as much experience as I possibly can
2.) I have only recently started playing 0 A.D. and I'm honestly astounded by the quality of the project. I have been playing RTS games such as AoE since I was 10, and I would be honored to be a part of this groundbreaking game. I want to help in any way I can, wherever my skills are needed. If anything else I am more than willing to learn any skills needed to aid where needed.
3.) Writing is somewhat of a passion of mine, but have always felt that my stories and concepts have never gained any traction for the singular reason that I had no platform to express my ideas. I feel that if I was to stand behind this community and have something to write for, that I could achieve my highest potential. Needless to say, I would be more than happy to give my all to this project if you'd have me!
Personality: My peers often tease that I am far to mature for my age, yet I also regard myself as an adventurous soul, extremely sociable and always optimistic!
Short Essay: First off, never ever ever ask me to write a "short" anything. I joke of course, yet there is some truth in that. I feel I often go above and beyond what is expected, where others may be satisfied with "just enough" I find that it's much more personally rewarding to know that i have gone the extra mile. Like I've stated previously, I love to write, I love to learn and I love RTS. The fact that you, the developing community have decided to make this available to the public for free is mind-boggling to me for I and people like me rarely have sufficient funds to support our gaming hobby. I am thankful, even if my application is not accepted, I would simply love to say thank you for considering people like myself!
Interests and Hobbies: Writing, Programming, Cinematography and Film-directing, History and of course gaming.
Favorite Game: Warhammer 40k Dawn of war
Work Examples: I have no officially published work however I will include a Pdf. of one of my school projects aswell as a link to my Poetry blog if that would help in any way ( however I doubt it will)
