As you can probably guess by me posting in the Welcome Desk and by this being my first post I'm an entirely new person joining the fray, so, hi!

I'm not new to RP at all (though I did just play in my first play by post last week!  Outside of Doctor Who, I don't think there's a better use of the phrase Timey-Wimey for how that can get though it's super fun) and I've played in a few MMOs prior to now.  I run LARPs IRL though I'm on break after running a two year Legend of Five Rings game and I'm currently in the process of playing/leaving a Vampire the Masquerade (Not Requiem, I wish it were...) game.

I love RP though and that's what usually draws me into games.  Straight social... I get a little bored but in past games (GW2, City of Heroes, TSW) I loved the idea of meandering around with my fellow players in the world and roleplaying through events and weaving ourselves into the story and meeting new people.  I flat out love meeting new people in game.  Seriously, I do a happy raptor dance IRL when I run into RPers in the game world (there are no gifs of this... yet...)

I will admit my bias is older FF games.  Though I love X and refuse to hear ill spoke of it.  Let's see... I like both J and Kpop though I've got a HUGE Morning Musume bias  so that might be a dangerous one to bring up.  I actually legitimately love hearing about people's characters and how they're creating them and their history and stuff so if you ever want an ear to bounce ideas off from?  I'm your huckleberry.

So far I'm not entirely certain what I'm playing but I'm leaning towards a Miqo'te Arcanist who's parents were something of anthropologists investigating the beast tribes to study the primals but that's all gooby-wooby forming in my head.

OH!  I also draw!  I'm stupid lazy though... so I'll freely admit getting me to do pictures can be like pulling teeth though I'll always finish it.  But, since I usually only charge in game money (or assistance with bosses) I think that's okay to wait two weeks for my lazy butt.  

Lookin forward to meeting you all!

He was raised in and around the Temple of Thal, he's a member of the Arrzaneth Ossuary (as a Thaumaturge), so he's everything you would expect from the stories one hears of that place, including but not limited to something of a mad scientist tinkering in the arts of alchemy, he's rumored to own a reproduction of the Necrologos that may or may not contain a powerful Voidsent inside of it... if one were to believe rumors. He's deeply interested in the study of Aether, though his primary focus is that of internal Aether, how it flows through the body and can produce incredible affects, and as of late he's taken an interest in the way this can even be used to create words into powerful affects (via Arcanist).

His adopted father was a Thaumaturge as well, though before that he was a Lancer and because of this Ashren was sort of forced to endure of life of both physical and mental hardships and rigorous training and studies. I sort of use this as a mechanic to explain in some small way his ability to sort of stand out above the normal characters (NPCs primarily) while attempting to not make him into a gary stue.

All this being said I think your character and mind would find each other interesting, so if you find yourself on Balmung I look forward to studying your brain... I mean meeting you.
