Vito

I read up on the naming conventions and lore. I remade my character at least seven times, trying to figure out how it could work. Eventually, I just decided to do what I felt would be right for my character and what I was going for. People choose all sorts of names for their children, despite their born ethnicity. Many people do not like their names and change it themselves.

The hallway was filled with the sounds of tearing paper, shreds slowly spilling over motionless feet. "This.." a voice choked out. "C-can't be happening.." Breathing hitched, before throwing off into a heavy pattern; nearly hyperventilating. Trembling fingers made their way through ash-shaded hair while the Miqo'te struggled to regain his composure. "Absurd." Arms fell limply to his sides. "They need me.. they.." he trailed off, his jaw clenched with frustration and helplessness--unsure which emotion began or ended. Or whether they were the same all along. A heavy, sickening pause. Silence saturated the room; looming and oppressing over the male's shoulders. Suddenly, Vito raised a heel and kicked the trash from his boots. A nervous, uncharacteristic laugh boomed through his body. "They would not dare."

Welcome to the forums, stranger.

Itching to RP. I'll be online until 5 am EST.

^ I like this cool guy's way of thinking.

I think you have an awesome writing style. Very descriptive, yet subtle at the same time. I can see what's happening and I especially liked the ending. Not sure if you edited your story or not, but I feel like the scene transitions were just fine. I interpreted it as your character recalling fragmented moments during. For example, if we were all to look back on memories we've had, we rarely remember the whole picture. We probably only remember only a portion of what was actually happening at the moment. I'm not sure if that was your intention, but that's how I envisioned it.

Well I did and I'll do it again. d: Rriwmsx6N6M

Those are both very good points. RPers should always have the respect to at least acknowledge another player's presence. I'm not saying that everyone needs to approach said person ICly at once, regardless of what your character would actually do, but in reality even if someone you don't like enters the room; you still notice they're present. Personally, I like RPing with a small, consistent group. Random encounters in between main story-lines keeps things interesting. However, the urge to write also comes and goes randomly. I misunderstood the original post, when it was said "What makes for good RP", because I was going to be like, "Lots music, kratom tea, and late hours".

I'm interested, at the moment my main LS is extremely slow. It will hopefully pick up soon, but I'm feeling the need to RP before then. (: I'm online mostly late afternoons, and my timezone is EST. I always want to RP in the AMs so it's cool that you guys are nocturnal.

Vito Bishop - Miqo'te (Keeper)

I. Basic Info Primary character: Vito Bishop Primary RP linkshell: DOIC II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium,heavy): Light/medium. Sometimes I RP a lot and other times not so much. I enjoy having a small group I'm comfortable roleplaying with. Views on RP combat and injuries: Definitely needs to be consensual. Death and major injuries need to be brought to the attention of the players. That being said, I am definitely okay with my characters having injuries, but constant evasion from the other player is the most irritating thing for me. If I'm willing to take hits, the other person should also have the respect for my character miss/get hit as well. No one wants to go into battle with a god-moder. Views on IC romance: I purposely made a character that has no solid interest in romance. I refuse to take responsibility for those who can't keep IC/OOC separate. Flirting is okay, it makes things interesting, but don't expect a relationship with my character. I'm jaded on this subject from past experiences. I would never dream of putting my character or myself in a situation that makes me feel uncomfortable. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties,etc): Yes, personal bonds are way cool! Friendships are great, rivalries are even better. Views on lore: Character concepts and story lines from players should definitely be believable considering the universe. If you don't have a great grasp on the lore, simply don't make your character's story-line depend on it. There are plenty of other options. Views on chat functions (/say,/linkshell, etc): Depends on what makes you comfortable. /say is a great way to include more players, however. III. Other Info Country: United States Timezone: EST Contact info: PM me on the site or /tell in-game.

Welcome! The RP community on FFXIV is awesome. People are really friendly and willing to work with you. I haven't even seen much griefing from non-RPers either. Your character's backstory sounds really interesting and I think it's pretty cool that he's an actor. It would actually be hard for me to play a character like that. I'm sure we'd all love to see more of your fanart too.

I feel you. All of my RL friends play on Hyperion, but I made the decision to play on Balmung. I'm level cap and have two people on my friend's list. lol
