Um, hello - Nwelmaer - 04-23-2015
Hi there.
I'm not sure what to say but here I go. I was talked into joining FFXIV last October by my entire family (who have been playing for well over a year.) I've been playing without doing any RP, but recently I've followed more fellow players on Tumblr and I've really enjoyed everything they were doing with their characters. I made my first real RP character and now find myself here. I'm an avid gamer, but I'm relatively new to the role playing thing so any advice would be more than welcome.Â
I have a blog that is not at all ffxiv specific and I've filled out a Wiki page for Winni.
I think that's everything so... I'm excited to play with you all!

Nice to have you here.
Welcome to the RPC.
Looking at your wiki page, it's nice to see someone more into crafting that combat! (In truth, my first character was an alchemist. RIP)
If there's anything I can do to help on lore, RP convention, leveling crafts OOC, let me know! I'll see if I can point a person or two your way as well.

Squee! Welcome!
Wow, the whole family plays, huh? Does that mean that somewhere, there's a player being controlled by a dog? :O
I kid, of course. Cats would play XIV.
If you'd like to meet my charrie feel free to give Steel Wolf a poke. I'm usually online at around 7pm EST and find myself with practically nothing to do in-game, so I'm always up for saying hello to the new folks.
Welcome to Eorzea! :D

I always think it's so cool when people can play with their family!
Welcome, it's good to have you here!
RE: Um, hello - Coatleque - 04-23-2015
Welcome to the forums. I've also read over your wiki. Your character looks fun and I hope to see her around sometime. Or perhaps I already have and she just doesn't remember...

Howdy and Welcome

Tee hee. I'm pretty sure she's so used to that kind of situation she just assumes she's met everyone until they tell her she hasn't.
[*blush* You're all being so nice! Thank you]

Welcome.. so leaving the whole game play aside.. RPzzz!
It is you assuming the role of a character that you have defined in some way, with story, characteristics etc... You dictate the actions and responses of your character in response to others and events. To maintain some level of consistency and fairness there are some general guidelines around keeping IC (in character) and OOC (out of character) separate, and letting others decided what their characters do or do not do.
That was a very short version and there is an excellent [Role Play Handbook] that will be a good reference for you as you progress.
My advice, find a nice FC that supports new RPers. They will offer to ease you into it and answer the many questions you may have. They will also help with avoiding any bad habits. And please, ask.
Overall though, just let go and have fun.
