This month we will be interviewing our new staff members: Eliteduck and Citra .

 

 

Let's start off with Eliteduck ...

 

 

A : Tell us a little about yourself.

Eliteduck : Firstly I'm 23 years old and I’m from Ohio. I've personally been playing Alora for 3 years when I’m not playing Alora, ill usually be working on my motorcycle.

 

A : What started your obsession with ducks?

Eliteduck : So the story being my username is that when I was in 6th or 7th grade I got my first Xbox and I was trying to think of a creative username and I did some searching and there’s a phobia of ducks looking at you, and from then till now its been my username and therefore that’s where my obsession with ducks came from (Anatidaephobia).

 

A : What are your current in-game goals?

Eliteduck : My current in-game goals are going to be maxing and getting completionist monkey on my elite ironman! 

 

A : If you could meet anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be and why?

Eliteduck : If I could meet anyone in the world I think it would be Slash aka Saul Hudson from guns and roses, he was like my idol when I was growing up loved being able to play him on guitar hero and he actually got me into playing the guitar a little bit I don’t play much anymore I would want to me him over anyone. 

 

A : Do you have any IRL goals for the new year? 

Eliteduck : So I have a couple of goals this year for IRL, one of them is going to be trying to own a house by the end of this year, and another is I want to take my Harley kind of cross country with one of my good IRL friends. The biggest goal is going to be the house though.

 

 

Next up, Citra !

 

 

A : Tell us a little about yourself.

Citra : I gravitate towards electronics, I always have since I was a little kid. I would lay by my dad and watch what he was doing on windows 98-2000. After I was about 15; I created my own game. That was a great accomplishment for me and made me realize what I wanted to do in life. 

 

A : What is your favorite content on Alora?

Citra : I love the community-based things, Moe always does fantastic with them. ;P 

 

A : Do you have any hobbies outside of the game?

Citra : Snowboarding because I live in the mountains 

 

A : If you could have lunch with any member of the community, who would it be and why?

Citra : Lowkey, he seems so chill.

 

A : What is your favorite show/movie and why? 

Citra : The 100. Because it pulled your interest at all times. I.E. Sometimes it was boring and then it suddenly peaked your interest again.
