Alicia Clarke

The Year 1558 of the Sixth Astral Era was only 19~20 years ago from the present date. So this would kind of throw some of your characters ages off quite a bit. The Calamity occurred towards the end of the Year 1572 6AE, 5~6 years ago from the present date. If you were wanting your character to be 18 at the time of the Calamity, they would've been born in the Year 1554 6AE, making the Ixali attack on Hyrstmill occur in 1562, 8 years later. The start of ARR occurred during the 5th Year of the Seventh Umbral Era (5 years after 1572), though after Operation Archon the Grand Company leaders announced an "official" end to the Seventh Umbral Era, and we enter into the 1st Year of the Seventh Astral Era (still 5 years post-1572 Calamity). Your character would be 23-going-on-24 years old, which lines up pretty well with your timeline with no major adjustments. Now, officially, Stormblood lore dates events in 4.0 as occurring just 1 year after the death of Solus zos Galvus in the 1st Year of the 7th Astral Era and the arrival of the Doman refugees. Putting the date roughly at the 2nd Year of the Seventh Astral Era (6ish years post-Calamity). Aging your character to about 24. Some roleplayers choose to ignore this and instead RP real time passage, but officially not that much time has passed since ARR. You're of course free to continue aging your character with real time passage if you so desire! Hope this helps! My math is good, but not perfect. I felt that Heavens'ward took about a 1 to 1 1/2 years, so that is why I did that, but if it isn't in cannon, I'll make the appropriate adjustments. I must have forgotten to carry the 1.2 in the equation. Duly noted. Thank you again.

I apologize for being dead here for sometime. I got busy with stuff (damn the Zodiac Weapons! O:< :frustrated: never again) I did recently find a starting point for my character. So I had to do some adjustments, but I like the finalized product.

At 8 years old, her Aunt, unbeknowest to all involved, opened the Hyrstmill gates to let in the Ixal awaiting a slaughter of the Shroud Villages populace. During the massacre, her father and older, twin brothers fell to the Ixal. Tsubana drove off the killer birdpeoples, only to discover her husband and twin sons were dead. She was injured in repelling the Ixal. Her husband and sons were protecting Alice. Her Aunt was shortly found and questioned, whereupon the Padjali dispatched sentenced her to exile by will of the Elementals. Heartbroken, Alice could do aught but await her mothers possible return. Her mothers wounds were grievous indeed, but nothing the Conjurers of Stillglade Fane couldn't fix, she was assured. Her mother did return, but only now with a cane and a noticeable limp, her mother could no longer run. Spurned by her mothers well being, she started to help her mother whenever possible, doing laundry and cleaning dishes. A few weeks after, she decided to never let the weak get hurt by the strong, and thus with a kiss and hug to her mother, set out to the Sultansworn, in Ul'dah, to become a Paladin. Her objective was simple, to become a Paladin, free or no. After 15 years of rigorous training and near deaths, she returned in plate and cloth of white and blue, a Paladin at last, blessed by her Mentor, Jenlys. A month after return, the Ixal returned, but were slain by Alice one by one. Avenged, she felt her deceased family was. And thus she stayed, protecting Hyrstmill since. An interesting episode of that 15 year period was the infatuation of a Duskwight Elezen, Edelouix of Ishgard in the last two years of her tenure. She was like a love struck puppy following him around and doting on him when he was not looking. Many a whisper were told about how they were lovers, a claim neither would admit but was common knowledge to be true.

Criminally, huh? I might have to investigate all of those. Thank you, Gegenji.

I expected less reception but I was tired when I wrote that. I have one question: Is there any other way to RP? Does it have to be in game? Just a thought, of course. It's still closed cause of 4.0 release. I find it funny.:!: Welp, I tried that....Didn't turn out too well, oh well. Heh, anyway, I've been on both but Balmung is too many people and Mateus when I was there was no-mans land. Just wish there was a group in Exodus to do this with.

8-) I am new to this, so I just want to know what everything is, you know? Oh? Ain't that a shame, that Exodus doesn't have one yet. Well, I'll try anything once. Anyway, just got home, and uhhh, yeah...Thanks, you too, Thunderbolt300.

Hi, I'm new here. So yeah, I'll get to some good stuff. I started with Runescape back in the late 00's, tried WoW for a month (didn't like it, too confusing), and now I'm here (been playing XIV since PS3 beta back in 2013). I have no RP experience but I'm open to trying new things. As they say, "don't knock it till you try it". And I believe that wholeheartedly. My Characters name is Alicia Lizabeth Clarke, and she's a 22 year old Hyuran Midlander. Born in Hyrmstill, Black Shroud. She clocks in at 5' 2". I wrote down the rest for those of you interested, I can somehow copy that stuff here. I heard about it...Uhhh, I googled "How to RP IN FFXIV" This was the first site to pop up. I've always wanted to RP but I haven't found anyone else into it. I hear there are different "types" of RPers, and just...I dunno which one I belong to. And finally, something about me...I've been gaming for 21 years now, since I was 4. 90% of that is RPGs. I'd like to think myself an expert by this point. My first RPG was FFVII. And yeah...That's about all I got for hobby-like stuff for now.
