• I'm ready for IC interactions all of the time in /say. I love to feel like part of the game’s living world and be the flavor for other players running by, often striking up conversations with NPCs for fun. I prefer switching to OOC for party chat and coordination, but I love to add RP flavor and banter in /say when running dungeons or quests ICly.
  

• I like both RP combat and injuries. I'm even pro-permadeath, but would never suggest it to someone unless I was writing a plot with them. I am very open to the idea of permadeath for my characters—raises the stakes! If dueling is an option, I prefer mechanics-based combat and prefer to leave emote combat for portraying scuffles, slaps, stabs and so forth rather than full-blown battles.
  

• Fully support IC romance within the context of an interesting plot. "Dating Service" RP is something I am highly opposed to—I feel romance should evolve realistically as part of a character's story. I choose not to participate in very explicit erotic RP, but sexual themes are fine with me as long as it's a part of a well-written character dynamic.
  

• I am a highly collaborative, character-driven storyteller. I love writing origin stories and character arcs with both my RL and online friends. If you want to create family or childhood ties to my characters, send me a PM any time! I'd love to plot with you.
  

• I strictly abide by established lore and love researching it. I will never tease you or refuse to RP with you if you make lore mistakes, but if your RP style blatantly ignores in-game lore I will probably send you a /tell and ask politely if we can stick to lore topics. It's nothing personal, I just hate breaking lore in my RP. That said, no one is perfect and I make tons of lore mistakes, myself. I am supportive of lore-based hypotheses and inferences as long as they are tastefully retconned if the official lore on the topic is released and conflicts.
  

• /say all the way! I love open-world RP more than anything. /say tavern RP, /say quest RP, /say dungeon RP—you name it. I'm there. I'm not very fond of LSRP for actual plot development. It's fine for fluff and for coordinating ICly to meet in-character. I frown on /group RP. I feel quality RP should be freely viewable to the larger community and make itself available for bystanders to jump in! /tell RP is okay, as long as it's used as an actual IC whisper.

I received pearls for the linkshells The Tavern and Friends of Momodi tonight while learning the ins and outs of the rather wonky PS4 controls. Thank you to Orrin and Micah for the pearls and to Aya, Nako'li, Kurt/Keil, Emerald, Bear and the Lominsan miqo'te who sent me the initial /tell about Friends of Momodi and gave me tons of newbie-appropriate advice (I don't know your forum name! T^T)

Really enjoyed meeting so many of you OOCly in-game this evening. Looking forward very much to getting my RP on--probably with an Ul'dahn alt for the moment while I level Kamome a bit and get her in a decently character-appropriate outfit. 

Tomorrow I'll be in Ul'dah on Yvane Ashdale (by far my most outgoing characrer concept right now) for a peek at what Quicksand RP looks like. If anyone has a character who is ICly in the Immortal Flames and 30+ years old, let me know if you want to have a bar fight date with my Ul'dahn character (don't worry, she's a horrible fighter.) Basically her deal is that her old man was a Flame Commander who completely botched a raid into Amalj'aa territory and every one of his men killed, including himself. Yvane is broke after paying for his burial and funeral rites and etc. to the Priesthood of Thal, and is now a struggling merc with a huge chip on her shoulder. She's also been ICly rejected multiple times by both the Brass Blades and the Immortal Flames, if anyone wants to take that angle.

Thanks again to everyone! All of you made me feel so comfortable and the LS's are great fun.

I was using a USB keyboard last night and for some reason (weird server latency?) my typing kept freezing up. Do you ever have this problem on PS4? Maybe my keyboard is just terrible. 

I have enjoyed the circle strafing and lock-on feature a lot—the controller layout feels great. I have been having the back pedaling issue avoiding screwdrivers, bomb tosses, etc. I should just tap L3 to unlock and run freely when an ability gets initiated, instead, right?

Also, (one last thing (⌒-⌒; ))--is there a default keyboard setting for hiding the UI when you plug it in...? Or do I have to be in mouse/keyboard mode? I have found so many great spots for screenshots but haven't figured out if I need to switch to a mouse to unlock the keybind pane. ><
