Transferring to Balmung, thought I'd say hi. - Laike - 08-30-2015
Hey. You can call me Laike. I'm a Veteran rper, and honestly for the most part avoided MMO RP because it didn't seem deep enough. But then I decided to pull my head out of my ass and give it a try, because elitism doesn't getcha anywhere ya know?!
--MMORPG background
EQ, Wow, others. Honestly MMOs are hit or miss with me. The grind can get to me.
--RP experience
Vast. LARPing, Mushes, Forums, Table Top. You name it. Absolutely love to rp.
--Character ideas/info
Laike will be my first character. Oldest son of a deceased Farmer. Raised mostly by his mother. Ran from his community after murdering a merchant's son who tried to molest his sister. No justice for the poor and all that. Washed up in Limsa Lominsa, currently trying some way to clear his name while dealing with his anger at the 'unfair' world. Still has flashes of the innocent farm boy he used to be.
--How did you learn about the coalition?
Google I think?
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
Heavy, but not adverse to going ooc if friends want to just get stuff done.
--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc)
Aside from RPing, I'm a pretty well known costumer. Build armor sets, outfits, props. Kind of a neat past time really. Sadly, that mostly pays for itself so to survive I'm also a programmer.
Side note -
The one thing I've learned in my time rping is that the lion's share of my enjoyment comes not from realizing my own story, but by helping others realize theirs. I don't care who you are, what your background is. Gender, disposition whatever. If you can find a logical place to fit in Laike, I will build off of it. If he has to cowtow to your noble? Fine. If you need to kidnap him and threaten to slit his throat? Yay! If you want to promise him justice and rob him blind. Sounds fun! If you love him, hate him... It doesn't matter. As long as he's making your day more enjoyable and helping you understand something you might not have realized about your own character? I am perfectly satisfied!
I posted a small intro story on the IC forum, so feel free to check it out! Thanks!

Proposed story concept: Fall in with a band of well-meaning outcasts, named Kahmen and S'scryb.
EVERYONE WILL REMEMBER LAIKE, KAHMEN AND S'SCRYB!
I'll see myself out.

Ahaha. I always love to see other RPers willing to put their characters through some great misery for the sake of development!
Anyways, that aside, K'heyo is a fairly pleasant guy. I'd love to interact with your character sometime! K'heyo runs a host club free company (that also provides mercenary services) based out of Ul'dah just for some basis.
Feel free to /tell me in-game sometime or send me a PM on here! I'm often in-game on weekday evenings around 5/6 pm EST - 1-2am EST.
