Hello! - Alir - 05-20-2015

Hi everybody!

New to FFXIV, and though I've only been playing for a couple days I'm really enjoying the game and community so far. Plenty of experience RPing in other MMOs though, and I'm really looking forward to getting involved with the community here.

Decided to go for a change of pace character-wise and write up a spell flinger for the first time, so do forgive any oddities in regards to that flavor of RP if you see me in game. Not a whole lot to say, really. Just glad to have found a game with what seems to be a pretty active and solid RP community.

Cheers!

Hey there! Welcome to the RPC and FF in general. Big Grin There's lots of helpful lore collectors around if you have questions and I recommend the Character Development forum for getting a bit of a test audience on things. It's like one big share-room.

RE: Hello! - Aris - 05-20-2015

Hello & welcome!

We're all pretty friendly here, so don't hesitate to ask any questions! Smile Look forward to seeing you around.

Welcome~
I'm also a new face around here. Everyone is quite nice though~
If we're ever on together, maybe we could try roleplaying together as well!
Might I see a screen shot of your character~?

RE: Hello! - KHMarie - 05-20-2015

I am still pretty new myself , but the people I have met so far have all been very friendly and I was able to find a group to be a part of. Also if you ever need someone to talk with, I'd be more than willing to keep you company. Big Grin

Hopefully you are able to have a good experience here on RPC and in FFXIV as well!

Welcome to the show. If you have any questions, these fine individuals and I will gladly answer them.

If you're feeling kind of left out and alone, I'm almost always in character and open to walk-ups. My character is pretty personable, too, so I won't bite your head off or anything. I also won't be offended if you never decide to say hello. Up to you. Offer's always on the table.

Hope you enjoy your time with us. I'd love to hear more about your character idea. I, too, rarely play spell flinger types, and it'd be cool to see how someone who's never done it before sees the idea. Fresh eyes on a concept are always pretty cool.

Anyways, I'm starting to ramble. My bad. Welcome to FFXIV!

Thanks, and I definitely think I'll take you up on your offer sometime soon!

I'm still working on fleshing him out, though I've got a pretty good idea of how I'd like to deal with the magic stuff. I've always been a fan of worlds in which magic is a somewhat more limited and dangerous(perhaps even more so for the user than those around him) power, something unpredictable and difficult to control. I unfortunately haven't been able to find a whole lot in regards to the way aether works in FFXIV, but I've at least got a general idea and am surely taking some liberties. If there's any good, solid source in regards to magic that I've managed to miss I would be ever so thankful to anyone who would be kind enough to show me Smile

I'm thinking Alir will be somewhere in the middle in terms of strength/ability as a thaumaturge starting out, and one plotline I'm currently set on doing at some point is him experimenting with and going down the road towards black magic. So his use of it will be... Well, he definitely isn't going to overuse it. Perhaps he'll even have a somewhat limited pool of aether to use, that might be interesting. It'll be used when its needed, though from an IC perspective hes one for experimenting and pushing his current boundaries, which makes him a bit more liable to accidentally make things go boom.

I'm really looking forward to trying out something new with all this, I've spent so many years roleplaying and never really got into the magic side of it all. Thought it was finally time for me to try something new. Having fun brainstorming right now, got a super skeleton of a wiki put up for him, a place to put down ideas as much as anything concrete right now though.

Hey, me too! Now I'm definitely excited to see what kind of character you end up RPing. I love when magic isn't all that convenient and it's still met with some awe and fear.
