New to roleplaying on ffxiv - ValkyrieRangris - 03-20-2015 Hello, I was just wondering if this back story for my character would be acceptable?Or should I come up with a new one? Any tips are welcomed. https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Valkyrie_Rangris Quick ideas now: Ideas

RE: New to roleplaying on ffxiv - ArmachiA - 03-20-2015 I don't quite understand your backstory... are you a Norse Goddess? Those don't exist in FFXIV and Odin is a Primal, not a God.

Those don't exist in FFXIV and Odin is a Primal, not a God.Hello Armachi, Character background was inspired by Norse mythology and Ragnarok Onlines Valkryie Rangris.My character starts off as a servant for Freya but causes problems for herself causing Odin to banish her to a different world to live as a mortal. I know god backgrounds are frowned upon but my character is weak and not god like in FFXIV just very socially off and not use to living as a Hyur. RE: New to roleplaying on ffxiv - Virella - 03-20-2015 Rework your background completely if you wish to be lore friendly. FFXIV has awesome lore, have a look into it, you will surely like it. :) RE: New to roleplaying on ffxiv - ArmachiA - 03-20-2015 So, your character is from Earthen God lore but was banish to Hydaelyn? I certainly can't tell you not to do that but, to be honest, you're not gonna find a lot of people who would be down with that and want to RP that you're character is a God... from Earth... while there is evidence of being able to travel between worlds - it seems that only Final Fantasy worlds are connected and Earth isn't Final Fantasy Also you're character wouldn't be a White Mage. Period. A Conjurer, sure, but saying your character from Earthen God lore is going to get the blessing of the Elementals to be a White Mage and use the Succor is just against all lore ever. I'm just trying to stick to the facts with lore, and not... interject my opinion.

I rather build a character entering world like its fresh and build up from there.

They control who gets to use it. RE: New to roleplaying on ffxiv - ValkyrieRangris - 03-20-2015 (03-20-2015, 07:57 AM)Virella Wrote:So I have to build something cookie cutter? I was hoping to not be a fishmans daughter. I am cool with other people doing that but that is not what I am looking for myself. Oh well. I guess I will just roleplay else where. Thank you for the help anyway. Better to find this out now than to spend time into something that is not for me.(03-20-2015, 07:55 AM)ValkyrieRangris Wrote:And why are you asking for advice then?

Why would you roleplay in a game where you ignore the lore completely? That makes... no sense. The lore IS THE WORLD, if you ignore the world and the rules that govern the world... why are you here? I like how you assume a fisherman's daughter would be boring though...

I do not find roleplaying as a fishermans daughter exciting and I do not see it as an issue if others enjoy it. I do not like roleplaying as a fishermans daughter for myself though. RE: New to roleplaying on ffxiv - ArmachiA - 03-20-2015 This world is already built however, it's built by the Developers and GMs of the game, so it indeed has restrictions. This world isn't built by us, the players, it's built by an extensive team at Square Enix. They gave the world it's own set of rules and checks/balances that - as characters living in Eorzea - our characters abide by (Because that is their reality, it is like Humans and Earth. There are certain rulesour reality has). They made they rules, completely ignoring them is basically saying "I do not want to live in your world" which again, why are you rping here then?

Its text based everything does not need to be accurate to what is really around you. How the world is described is based on your thoughts and writing not the graphics or going down to every mechanic that is built in the game. |
