Hi all! *waves* - Zaja - 02-23-2015
Hiya all, Zaja here.
Let's see, I've been a gamer since my first console, the Atari 2600. Went through about every console up until Playstation 2 when I finally went PC only. I tried UO, but didn't really care for it, so I consider my first MMO EQ1, and split my time between that and Asheron's Call. My next, and longest MMO stint was Anarchy Online for 7 years, though I did try pretty much all of the main releases that weren't pvp focused. In every game that allowed it, I've always played the healer role, which continues here.
I've also been a tabletop gamer/RPer for about 25yrs, starting around age 16 with cousins playing D&D, Gamma World, and really getting into it with the White Wolf storyteller system (OWoD) in games like Vampire the Masquerade through Aeon Trinity. Did some RP via old AOL/various chat rooms as well, mostly sci-fi theme.
As for RP style, I enjoy playing very low or no-powered characters. I feel this gives me the most room to build and grow. I also enjoy writing the tales of my characters as RP progresses.
RL stuff? I've been married since 1995, a coffee addict and cat lover. A horror/sci-fi fan, and an oldschool punk/metalhead. I also have 2 bratty kitties :3

Hi! Welcome to the RPC.
Are you familiar with FFXIV's gameplay/text chat system?Â
If you've got any questions about lore/gameplay/finding RP/etc, ask anytime!
RE: Hi all! *waves* - Zaja - 02-23-2015
Ah yes thanks. I played for early access, but left before the first month was up to go back to swtor. Just came back this month and have already made some good friends and joined a fun RP FC.
I'm still learning lore stuff as I go, though I try to write my characters in a way to offset my own lack of knowledge.
I'm already 50 whm, and not into pvp or raids so my gameplay journey is pretty much done so I can focus on RP hehe
Thanks though :3

Oooh we should bump into each other, I play a no-powered kiddie as well. XD Lot's of good people to rp with. I find the ones who aren't super duper dragoon troopers eating primals for breakfast make the most interesting stories. Limitations and overcoming obstacles through cunning and wit make for the most meaningful stories.
RE: Hi all! *waves* - Zaja - 02-23-2015
Sounds good!
Yes, I agree. Nothing against those who RP that way, but to me, starting at the top offers no room to grow, like starting a book at the end.
I approach things still with tabletop mindset. For every Merit I give my character, it requires an equal Flaw to balance it. A Primal eating Dragoon would have some pretty intense Flaws to counter their uberness hehe.
