The Greatest Untold Stories - T'caska Khevo - 07-10-2015
So in my professional life I work closely with publishers and authors. 90% of my job is reading unpublished manuscripts and novels. So having said that I just want to throw out a huge kudos to the people who RP within FFXIV. I keep running into people that play characters that are so well developed and compelling that it sort of feels like a disservice to everyone that these people are unknown to most.
For example, when I first created T'caska she was a wild little Miqo'te that was was afraid of Ul'dah and bugs. Now she is Protector that is plagued by a constant fight with the darkness within her and she just saved her wife from the clutches of a demon. She used to be timid, scared, and weak. Now she is strong and assertive and all the changes she went through came directly from RP with people in this community. I'm not tooting my own horn, in fact I'm not really all that creative and imaginative, my story is becoming epic (in my eyes) because of the people I've had the privilege of RPing with.
So for just a moment put aside everything else and take pride in you and your character. Forget about the cliques, the popular, the RP starved, and the strange. You are one of the greatest untold stories. I know I could have posted this in the Kudos thread but there seem to be a lot of people recently that are unhappy with their current RP situation so hopefully they can take some comfort in knowing that they aren't invisible, at least not to those they've touched.

Can we use this thread for people to tell their characters stories and plots they've been apart of? I know Wiki is a thing, but a lot of those are vague and you know, kind of a slog to get through. I'd love to read about a character's path in the game! TELL ME YOUR STORIES.

I think thats a great idea. Anyone feel like sharing or even telling about a change your character has gone through that came about through RP?
