Hello! I'm not new to XIV. In fact, I've been here since 2.0's launch, which brings about the problem that most of my RP circles have drifted apart or the people in them have just stopped playing. I am looking for long-term RP partners and IC connections! If we RP once and it doesn't click, that's fine, but ideally, I'd like regular and/or long-lasting interaction! (I am not looking for a static, main RP partner to RP with every day; I've already got one of those and can't juggle two!) I have several RP characters, but Faye is obviously my main. I can do RP via Skype, Discord, RPC, etc. but I am primarily looking for in game RP (or at least RP with other characters from Balmung).
I am open to RP with anyone, whether you are a total newbie, someone I know OOC but have never had the pleasure of RPing with, or someone I've RPed with or had plans to RP with in the past but we just fell out of touch. I am also okay with doing pre-established or past connections with my characters, provided of course we talk out the details and I give permission first.
tl;dr about me and what I'm looking (or not looking) for:
I am in eastern time but keep weird (read as: inconsistent) hours. You can usually find me online somewhere around 5PM EDT - 3AM EDT. Please be forewarned that due to some personal stuff I won't bore you with, I have a pretty foggy memory and a hard time focusing, and I also suck at initiating conversation (not just the first contact, but legitimately pretty much always until I've known you for a looong time), so if I forget something or it seems like I never prod you first, there's a 99.9% chance it has nothing to do with me disliking you or your RP. Poke at me as much as you please and don't think it's personal if I don't reciprocate often. I just don't know how to person.
You can find my characters and a few of their RP hooks in the post below. Feel free to reach me here, in game, or Discord. I have other means of communication (like Skype) which you are welcome to ask for privately!

Show Content
Spoiler
Post Length - I do para RP (typically one or two paragraphs) and would ideally like to find people in the same range. That being said, I also often post-to-match and go for shorter emotes in busy/public places. If you post short emotes that still give substance, or long emotes that aren't overblown and empty purple prose, your post length doesn't matter much to me!
Post Speed - I am a little slow, and it's okay if you're a little slow, too (especially if you're typing up meaty posts).
Lore Strictness - I do not like to throw lore out the window or run crazy with headcanons, but I am also not about following lore to a T and memorizing every scrap of it. I would like to write with role-players who also lie somewhere within the middleground.
Style - I like to have some description and detail in my RP, along with sometimes some narration and even the occasional dreaded snippet of insight into my character's thoughts, without verging into purple prose territory. If you only like cut-and-dry emotes, I'm probably not for you, and if you're into purple prose text walls, you're probably not for me!
Genre - I like a bit of everything and I'm not really picky. Drama, mystery, intrigue, casual, tavern, action, adventure, horror, comedy, fluff--I like variety!
Dark/Mature RP - I am fine with just about anything and have very few hard limits as long as things are treated respectfully and fairly OOC. I really love darker storylines, but I'm not about the RP being grimdark all the time. I'd love to meet some RPers who don't mind RPing these themes, but if you don't like darker RP, that's perfectly fine, too, because it's not a necessity.
Romance RP - I love it! However, all my characters are already spoken for, or are remaining single because I don't have the time to devote to anymore IC romances. I'm not looking for any romantic partners for my characters at this time. If for some reason you wanna do some unrequited romance thing, that's fine, but don't expect my characters to return the feelings, and I will not tolerate any OOC weirdness toward my character's current romantic partner and relationship.
Antagonist RP - I love my characters having antagonists, be it an enemy, a rival, etc. However, I've been burned by this many times and am very hesitant to do these arcs now. If you want to do this, I may agree, but I'm not looking for someone who's just trying to "win" (I'm not saying your character can't/won't win--just that I don't want it to be forced/unrealistic, or for it to turn into a "sore loser" situation if things don't pan out that way), someone whose constant harassment will leave me unable to RP my character in public and/or with other people, or who is going to ignore the consequences of their villainous character's actions and demand a retcon if their character ends up on the losing end.
Character Death - I'm not okay with permanent character death (unless I tell you otherwise) and will try to avoid situations where it is likely, and I will try my best (within realism and belief) to avoid any situation where your own character is likely to die (unless you give me permission otherwise).
Story arcs and Plot lines - I suck at making them and therefore don't really have any specific ones going on right now, but I love to play a part in other's stories, big or small.
Combat RP - I kind of suck at it, too, so I'm not really looking for it, but I will participate if some fighting naturally happens in the story. Somewhat flexible on how it's handled. I prefer freeform, but rolling tends to be the quickest and least painful way to go.
ERP - I have nothing against it, but I'm not interested in it and it's not going to happen. I also don't like to RP any sort of fetish-fulfillment stuff and I don't want to interact with characters based around it (futas, lolis, shotas, slime girls, furries, etc.).
OOC Relationships - Friendships are cool and I love befriending the people I RP with, but nothing else, please. I'm not available or interested. I'd like to find RP partners who can keep IC and OOC wholly separate, and who will respect my pre-existing OOC friendships and relationship.
Realism vs Fantasy - Seeing as this is a fantasy setting with magic and larger than life characters with cool powers, etc., I am fine with fudging things a bit, but generally like to use real life physics, logic, and human limitations as slightly loose guidelines. Naturally, my RP style is gonna mesh best with people who do the same.
RP Etiquette - I like to abide by the usual rules and RP with people who do the same. No metagaming, godmodding, autohitting, powerplaying, playing to win, etc.
Retcons - I try to avoid them if at all possible and hope the people I RP with do the same. To be honest, if you fantasia/namechange/retcon twice a month, I will probably lose interest in any RP.
