Hey hey hey! - M'risha - 07-01-2013
Heya! I'm the unpronounceable M'risha, and I'm here to roleplay with each and every one of you!
--MMORPG background
I started my amazing yet life-wracking career with Ragnarok Online, before I even know roleplaying existed. From that, I went to WoW, and that's where my MMO-craze really began. I went from WoW to Guild Wars, from Guild Wars back to Ragnarok, from Ragnarok to almost every F2P and P2W MMO available. I played The Secret World for about 10 minutes, and have now set my sights on Final Fantasy XIV!
..That being said.. I have absolutely no Final Fantasy knowledge, though I do know what a Cactuar and a Tonberry is, woop!
(Awkward confession: .. I thought a Cactuar came from Digimon..)
--RP experience
My first ever roleplay thing ever was on a Custom Game in Warcraft 3 in a series of maps called 'DoBRP'. I have never figured out what it stood for, but it was lots of fun, and I spent hours on hours in those maps.Â
My roleplaying then extended itself to WoW, where I settled on the Argent Dawn EU server, rping a Gnome warrior because.. why not? Back then, RP was kinda an innocent thing for me, just kinda living out your character, right?
..Then I wandered into Goldshire.. and ran for my virtual life.
Sufficed to say, now I know why MMO's don't have their online interactions rated by the ESRB.
Moving on, I roleplayed for a while on roleplayerguild.com, where some great forum-based roleplay can often be found. I also did some roleplay in TERA, GW2 and even Age of Wushu, back when 90% of the population wasn't a goldseller.
--Character ideas/info
I will most likely be playing a Miqo'te Seeker of the Sun. I know! So standard! I love cats, I love girls, so why wouldn't I play a catgirl, right? I'm still in doubt, however. Those Lalafell are also so cute, and a tiny lalafell tanking a huge dragon thingamajig? Too awesome!
Oh, right, I forgot to mention that. I almost always play tanks. Standing there at the front lines and somewhat being the unofficial group leader rocks, and I want to be the first one to charge in.
I will most likely main a pugilist/monk this time around. Something about being able to punch down huge baddies with just your hands/feet and inner strength screams cool to me.
As for IC personality, my characters are often energetic, impulsive and playful, with boundless optimism, perseverance and self-confidence. M'risha will most likely be like that as well.
--How did you learn about the coalition?
I actually didn't know it existed until Beta 3. I saw some people roleplaying in this port area Marauders start out in, and then went to google to see if people were starting roleplaying guilds. I was pleasantly surprised, there's a whole community out there! I signed myself up with the speed of light and here I am!~
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
I would classify myself as medium, but probably weighing towards heavy. Often I drop grinding and questing to roleplay and hang out with people, but I also tend to have my serious moods. I am a real casual player these days though, and leading progressive raiding guilds and even doing progressive raiding is a thing in the past for me. Oh.. right, this was about RP
If you find my character in-game and talk to her in /s, you will always get an IC response.. so.. medium!
--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc)
I study Japanese language/history/anthropology/art/geography, everything Japanese at a nearby university. It's a full-on weeabo course, which is just right for me. Ask me anything about animé/manga, and I will probably be able to answer it. No, I do not have a hug-pillow or an entire house-full of figurines, though the otaku is strong in me.
I am also semi-fluent in the language, so I was actually considering going for a Japanese server.. but.. It doesn't look like them asians will be RPing anytime soon.. Balmung here I come.
Err.. what else.. I go to the gym 4 times per week and watch everything I eat and have been doing that for about 8 months now. Guess what, hard work -does- pay off!; I lost 45 pounds!
The only contact I've ever had with Final Fantasy is Kingdom Hearts and the admittedly craptacular movie Spirits Within. I am also playing the other Final Fantasy games now though! I just finished XIII and XIII-2 (Chinese version, it has Jap voices and English subtitles. Sense.jpg), and am about halfway through 7.
Got this far? Great. Pleasure to meet you all, I hope to RP lots and lots

RE: Hey hey hey! - Kyatai - 07-02-2013
Absolutely awesome intro, and very, very cool studies.
I lived in Okinawa for 3 years as a child- such a neat environment and wonderful people.
I still have this lingering love for all things Asian (and take my shoes off at the door... always), can sing Mary Had a Little Lamb in Japanese and nearly fell over when I heard the Dragonfly song I learned in Elementary school on the soundtrack to Old Dogs... Funny how things sink into your brain while its still growing.*offers some chocolate to help you forget the trauma of Goldshire*
Anyway... welcome and I look forward to getting to know you here on the RPC
