Hello, RPC! - Scarlet Fisher - 01-16-2017
Hey everyone! It's nice to finally work up the nerve to make an account and say "Hi", so here I am jumping in with both feet!
I'm not new to RP, but I'm very rusty. I've played MUDs and Tabletop RPGs, but those have always been with very small groups of people... it's a bit intimidating (but also inspiring!) to see all of the in-character activity happening every time I pass through the Quicksand. I've been wanting a creative outlet for some time, so I'm going to give this the old college try.
My character is based on an archetype I've played with a few times in D&D campaigns. Scarlet is an alchemist who has devoted herself to finding a "cure" for aging. Her own mortality unsettles and terrifies her to the point of obsession, so she has decided to put everything else in life "on hold" until she gets this problem out of the way first.
I've always been the kind of person who enjoys playing a game, and then reminiscing in-character about the events that have taken place. My comfort zone is live dialogue and improv, since I usually think longer pieces of prose to death before they get written. Part of why I'm here is to get a bit better at it through exposure and practice - so here's to self improvement! Hopefully I'll see you all soon!

Hello there, welcome the RPC!
I like the character concept!

Hi there! I agree with Faye there that your character concept is certainly interesting! welcome to the RPC and I hope you enjoy your time here!

Hey there, and welcome aboard to the RPC!Â
Sounds like a really cool character concept- actually wouldn't be surprised if you end up on the shadier side of the IC community because of it. *cackle*Â In any case, if you feel intimidated by the Quicksand, you can always create a Making Connections post here on the RPC and do some more targeted, long-term head-hunting!

I love Table Top Roleplay, Its Fantastic and allot of those elements can certainly be applied to in game roleplay especially within Final Fantasy XIV. Nothing beats using dice to determine combat outcomes (at least its not an endless cycle of attacks that constantly miss, or leaves combat feeling rather over complicated). I'd certainly enjoy meeting your character someday and I think posting in the "Making Connections" section will certainly aid you in building a strong RP Network!
