New Roleplayer - Maariya - As'elena - 07-04-2015
Hello everyone!
My name is Maariya Genhu and I am new to the Balmung server and new to roleplay on Final Fantasy.
I've never roleplayed here before (safe for one short interaction one day before making this post), so I am a complete noob when it comes to lore etc.
I have been roleplaying for several years on another MMO and have experience with both Officer and Guild Master duties, as well as being a Dungeon Master for roleplaying guilds.
I came to this server due to a friend so I have no doubt I will settle in nicely soon enough, but I'd still like to say hello to everyone here and see if I can't establish some new contacts of my own. I am not American or English, so I might occasionally fail with my grammar and sentence structures, but otherwise I dare say I am understandable and competent enough.
Now to talk shortly about my character!
I am playing a female Miqo'te of the Paladin class.
I have read up on a few wiki pages about Miqo'te, and the city of Ul'dah and decided to throw a short concept for a background together.
Anyway! The background:
Since I made my character at launch and gave it a name I use for a character in another game, it already doesn't follow the Miqo'te naming policy.
I've decided to say that Maariya here is not a very traditional Miqo'te and was primarily brought up in the city of Ul'dah. She comes from common folks who passed away during an accident in the desert (or elsewhere if it proves to fit better).
She was brought up by a (for now) nameless Arena Master / Gladiator who raised her as his own, and taught her how to use the sword. (This ties to the fact my first class was a Gladiator)
Surprisingly enough she proved to be a decent fighter, and made enough gil to leave the arena behind and settle down with a normal life. However, Maariya is a rather adventurous type, and good in nature.She has always admired the shining Sultansworn and their code of conduct.
She mustered the confidence to approach them, and apply to their organization, wishing to someday become a Paladin herself. A training she eventually passed.
Now she lives in the city of Ul'dah by herself as she has no known family, and few friends due to her previous solitary nature, performing her duty as Paladin in whatever stories will happen in the future!
That's the basic story I threw together! Feel free to criticize and correct me if it is unsuitable or conflicting with existing lore.
Furthermore I hope to meet some new people in game!
