Good Afternoon!
I'm still slightly new to FFXIV itself but learning fast but I am not new to the RP world. I spent over seven years with an LS in FFXI and loved everyday of it. Now I would like to fill my RP void in the game with either making friends or joining up with a group. My character is still not very well defined other than being a mercenary willing to take up any job as long as there is pay at the end. If you want to know a bit more about him check out my post in the Character Creation section. I look forward to hearing from everyone.
Hey there! I've got a good number of directions you could go for a Seeker mercenary, depending on what kind of RP you're looking for.Â
As far as individual connections go? Kasi is also a mercenary, as well as a wandering trader and cook. She's something of a Miqo'te nationalist too, so she's got a very positive attitude towards other Miqo'te at the very start. She will even take them under her wing and train them (considering she has 17 years of combat experience), much less helping them in general. So, all told, she could be a mentor, a friend, an enemy, a rival, or just about anything really depending on how they encounter each other. Kasi isn't necessarily a good person despite her racial pride and willingness to help her kin; she even has connections with organized crime.Â
As far as Linkshells? There's ShroudLife if you're interested in roaming wilderness RP with an emphasis on Miqo'te, survivalists, traders, and so on. There's also the Hydaelyn Protectors, who are kind of a good-aligned vigilante force who are active in generating conflict and working with others. Both of these Linkshells are detailed in my signature!Â
Far as Free Companies go? There's Shroudwolf Clan for Miqo'te folks. Shroudwolf is an awesome fit for people who have limited time for RP and prefer everything to be scheduled. It works kind of like a Dungeons & Dragons campaign where everyone gets together 1-3 times a week for plotline advancement for a few hours. There's also the Mischief's Coven, which takes a much darker approach as it is organized crime with a tavern front, is not racially aligned, and revolves more heavily around spontaneous RP and events. Both of these are also linked in my signature.
All of these groups have connections between each other to various degrees (for instance, Mischief's Coven and the Hydaelyn Protectors run events against each other, ShroudLife hosts wilderness trader events where Shroudwolf shows up, etc), so if you join one you are likely to run into some of the others, too!Â
Hope this helps, and best of luck on your search!
Thank you much for your reply, I definitely think that our characters should meet! He's going to be super awkward around your character at first but he is always looking for other mercs and trainers to learn more combat techniques. As far as the free companies go I got picked up yesterday by a new group. Anyways, send me a /tell anytime I greatly enjoy RP and it doesn't matter to me with whom or why.
Also if your character takes on some of the more shady contracts, there is currently a bounty to bring me in to an Ul'dah merchant for backing out of a job and taking the half upfront pay.
Sure thing! I've added you to my hit list and will try to find you in-game here relatively soon. Feel free to tap me if you see me before I do you, though!
