  1. The replies here have been great! I'm not discouraged at all. I never role played in WoW but I'm much more used to the idea that your character is a "Mage" for example and thats just the way it is. The simple fact that Tauren cant be mages in the same way a Miqo'te probably isnt going to be a dragoon just never really crossed my mind. I'm not a fan of using 3000 loopholes to make a character so I have a few newer ideas to go with. 1. I'm either going to make Alyssa a Hyur. Which I dont mind too much seeing as Miqo'te and Au'ra might be a little overdone. 2. Level up Bard in this pre expansion gap and make her an archer type character. 3. I'll probably main tank in Stormblood now that I know how to actually play the game so I can use some of the same ideas I had for her as a dragoon just as a paladin or greatsword wielding character. Like I said this is my first attempt with writing a character so I appreciate all the help you guys have given me so much!
  2. This is what I was worried about. I do want to be as lore friendly as possible even with some BS thrown in. So I see theres quite a bit of circumstance with my race. Even I think thats pretty sloppy writing so I'll give it some more thought. But thats why I came here after all. I mostly just want to RP as the class that I play. I'm pretty much a one trick pony when it comes to class selection. I might try writing something for Hyur to see if I can come up with anything better/more believable.
  3. I know she can't be a dragoon in the current state of the game. What I'm going for is more like she was a trainee during Heavensward. Just in time to graduate and be basically lose her job. I would just like for that to be in her history more than anything. As for Miqo'te in Ishgard I've read a few threads and know its a stretch. But it mostly comes down to them being my favorite race and not liking their lore very much?
  4. I'm sure I don't have all of the bases covered yet but I would like to share what I have with everyone to see if I'm on the right page. Alyssa Rihn: Basic things: Miqo'te/Seeker of the Sun I'm not sure how old to make her. Late 20's maybe? Retired Dragoon/Current adventurer, providing protection, slaying problematic monsters. Things of that sort. Alyssa comes from a Doman father who was a traveling merchant of sorts. While traveling to Ishgard he met her mother, a barmaid. After seeing how life was in Ishgard he decided for them to move to Gridania where it would be easier for them to raise a family. Growing up Alyssa was the adventurous type. Signing up for the Lancers guild as soon as she was old enough. Often excelling, she quickly rose thought the ranks. With curiosity getting the better of her she decided to travel back to Ishgard to see where her mother was from. Traveling with a band of merchants they were attacked by a dragon. She will tell you herself it was sheer luck, but the others will say she took care of the dragon in a very efficient manner. After the event she was urged by the group to submit for training by the Order of the Knights Dragoon. She had just finished her training when word that some "Warrior of Light" had slain Nidhogg. Seemingly out of a job she now finds herself in Ul'dah working for people, when the price is right. She still waits to return to the Order of the Knights Dragoon, or perhaps visit Doma where her father is from. Mostly an introvert while on the job, she does enjoy the company of those close to her. Always ready for a fight she is a worthwhile adversary or ally. ____________________________________________________________________ Thanks to anyone who read. My writing skills are more rusty than I thought. This is just a rough draft of the character I came up with. If there are any blaring problems please let me know!! I'm completely open to ideas as well.
  5. Thanks for all the great replies everyone! It definitely helped sort out some anxieties I've had about writing for my character. I might make a character write up in the next few days and see how it goes!
  6. These are great answers guys! "So where do most people stand on character strength vs the gameplay in general. " I was at work when I wrote this..poorly worded. But what I mean is, In the story your character is the Warrior of Light aka a badass. So really what I was trying to ask was. What makes a character over the top strength wise? I didnt plan on making my character super powerful but I am curious.
  7. Hi everyone, I'm completely new at RP in general and I have some questions to help get me started with the FFXIV scene. When writing a character what is the most common way to do so. I want Alyssa to be tough but not to the point she seems over the top to everyone else. So where do most people stand on character strength vs the gameplay in general. What in the world is the difference between MRP and ERP? And my character does have a lore unfriendly name, but I've given her back story around it. Is this a problem to most people? Sorry if these are answered somewhere else like I'm sure they are. Thank you everyone for the help!
