A New Face! - abnormalnomad - 07-09-2015
Hey all!
I finally was able to make two characters on the Balmung server tonight after the maintenance. I'm pretty ecstatic, as I was starting to get worried that I'd have to drop eighteen dollars in order to RP on the 'main' server. But, thankfully, the server gods were kind! I had bopped around a bit on Gilgamesh for a couple of days before this, getting to know the game and such, before I was finally able to luck out and make my characters, Dhemitar Sterrbharsyn (a Roegadyn marauder) and Blaine Parhammon (a Hyur gladiator). I wanted to make one more character, a Keeper of the Moon - Mi'qote, but the server closed before I was able to. Maybe next time. But, c'est la vie.
However, that being said, I'm excited and very interested in roleplaying (and just straight up playing) with you all! I don't have much experience with Final Fantasy (in any of the variations, as this is my first FF game), so my understanding and grasp of the world, lore, history, etc. is pretty small and basically nonexistent, so I'm curious (and hopeful) to know if there's any groups, free companies, or individuals interested in helping a newcomer get a grasp on both the game and the world itself, (with gratuitous amounts of RP tossed in between it all!). Basically, just working to get my feet out from under me.
Anyways, I'm excited to just finally be on the server, and actually start 'moving forward', instead of just sitting in some holding patterns waiting for an opening. It feels nice. And please, don't be shy! I'd love to field, answer or receive any questions, comments, cares or concerns about my characters or me, and I'd love to find people interested in roleplaying with me, as well! I have experience in other similar mediums; WoW, SWTOR, SWG, etc. so I have a feeling that the general 'grasp' of roleplaying won't be totally alien to what I know.
But, regardless, I can't wait to start mingling and getting to know you all! I'm sure it'll be great fun!

Welcome to the RPC and Eorzea! I saw your character description for Dhemitar a little earlier and looks like a very fun character! Hopefully we'll run into each other in Limsa sometime. As for lore help, feel free to ask either myself or just post your questions here or in another thread. ^^ Lots of good and willing people around to answer lore stuff.
