[Mateus] New(ish) to FFXIV - Ceoile Stendan - 08-20-2017 Hello! I've been playing FFXIV for a couple of months, having been brought to the game by a couple of good friends (and RP partners) in the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO, who had decided to spend more of their time in this game. Now that I've gotten my feet wet in the game story, and the world's canon, I'm starting to think more about looking for RP opportunities. Ceoile (pronounced "Kaylee" -- it's an Irish name, which roughly translates as "singalong") is a Highlander bard, from a small village in Gridania.  As a teenager (~17), Ceoile and her boyfriend joined the local militia, and the two of them married just before the Battle of Carteneau.  They survived the Calamity (though they remembered little of what happened), and returned home.  Ceoile's husband died in a hunting accident some time later, and she eventually left their village, seeking to find purpose in her life (and, thus, bringing her into the game story). Though I'm new to FFXIV (and it's been my first exposure to any FF game), I've been playing other MMOs (mostly SWTOR, but also Champions Online) for almost four years, and I've RPed extensively in both of those games -- in-game RP, as well as writing fics (both solo and collaborative).  I'm currently one of the officers in a small RP guild in SWTOR. Beyond MMOs, I've been playing tabletop RPGs for several decades -- mostly fantasy RPGs such as D&D and Pathfinder.  Ceoile herself is based on a bard character which I played in Living Forgotten Realms (an "organized play" D&D campaign) a few years ago, and her surname, Stendan, is one she shares with several of my SWTOR characters. At the moment, I've been RPing with my two friends who brought me to FFXIV, and having a great time with them.  I'm interested in finding other opportunities to RP Ceoile, as well. I'm looking forward to getting to know people here, and find even more fun in the game. Thank you for reading! RE: [Mateus] New(ish) to FFXIV - Thunderbolt300 - 08-21-2017 Hey there and welcome aboard to the RPC and to FFXIV!  Best of luck on the hunt over on Mateus! You may consider tossing up a Making Connections post here too- it's a good way to hit the ground running outside of PUG RP. RE: [Mateus] New(ish) to FFXIV - Ceoile Stendan - 08-22-2017 Thank you for the welcome! I'll look at creating a post for the Making Connections forum -- thank you for the suggestion!
