New arrival to Balmung and FF14 in general. RP hook-ups. - Zuuda - 07-06-2015
Hello everyone!
I've decided to try FF14 while GW2's expansion does not come out. Other than the combat being... well... (I don't think I need to expound on the combat system) the game itself is pretty and there seems to have a lot to keep busy with. The RP is also present which is a definite plus compared to Rift even in the so called RP servers.
I'm pondering making a duplicate of my Zuuda in Gw2 with the necessary adjustments just because I really playing her.
I'm really new though, and I could use with some pointers to explain all the lore gaps my character has because of me. While I could just Wiki things and try to memorize everything I prefer a more organic approach where my newbie asks lots of questions and ICly gets my answers at the same time. It makes for some good RP hooks (RP that promotes more RP).
My original thought has been that she is a Miqo'te raised by Lalafells (simply because I am given the impression they are a smart race, albeit not to the extreme of GW2 Asuras) to explain being smart, as a nurtured smart more than born-with.
Which queues into her guardian either starting to reach the end of their natural life span or simply wanting to broaden the smarts and horizons of his protegee, which in turn queues into sending her off into the big world.
But not on her own.
Ice breaking is a big pain and tavern RP, while okay in small doses, can be a sleepy matter. I prefer to do do RP.
I would much prefer having Z'uuda's guardian sending her off with letters to his friends (perhaps family) in order to give her a headstart, a place to stay, people who will look out for her and introduce her to the big city instead of the small sheltered village life she was leading.
It does not have to be restricted to one person. She can come with several letters if that NPC adopted uncle has many good friends which would help me with the ice breaking, and in turn be introduced to more people, and perhaps get into some do RP instead of sipping drinks at the local tavern!
So, if anyone wants to have a fictional Lalafell good friend dropping their adopted exuberant, talkative, curious, teenaged niece, please, don't be shy =^_^=

Hello and welcome! Oh you're on Piken Square? I was there for about a year as well, had an asuran ex-assassin. I'm guessing you're EU then so just going to mention the European Directory for events, linkshells and FCs that play during EU-friendly hours.
Your character concept sounds interesting. If she was raised by lalafells, she perhaps wouldn't have any knowledge about usual Seeker tribal culture so your own lack of knowledge on that subject (for example) wouldn't be a problem at all.
Good luck in making connections and hope you enjoy Balmung!
