• ROLEPLAYING AMOUNT:
  I consider myself to fall in the medium-heavy roleplaying camp. I enjoy playing the PVE aspects of the game from time to time;  however, I'm mostly burnt out on keeping current with content and definitely don't have any interest in progression. Instead, I dedicate the majority of my time towards RPing, and so chances are if see me out and about, I'm in character unless specified otherwise!
  
  

• ROLEPLAYING COMBAT & INJURIES:
  Truthfully, most of my characters tend towards the intelligent, calculating, combat-avoiding type.. mostly because I don't really care OOCly for free-form combat scenes. That said, I do enjoy a fair bout of dice-mediated combat. Keeps things interesting, and truly allows a scene to be unpredictable!
  
  As for injuries, I choose to acknowledge that magical / aetherical healing and whatnot exists in the setting. However, I like to place limitations on it, such as a wound being healed but there being residual pain and stiffness, or only being able to heal it to a certain extent. This is because I like for my RP to have continuity and consequences. But of course, this is just the standard I hold myself to!
  
  

• ROLEPLAYING ROMANCE & SEXUALITY:
  I am always open to romantic relationships forming between characters, should it make sense in the context of RP and come about in a logical progression of the relationship. It's a fantastic way to keep a character developing and progressing.
  
  Likewise, aspects in RP such as sexuality are acceptable to me. I am a mature adult and I can handle the fact that people in this setting do, indeed, have sex. (Gasp! Scandal!) That said, I can either play out or do Fade-to-Black on scenes of an adult nature, depending on the comfort level of the other party (or parties, giggity!). Yet please note that most of the time, I personally prefer FTB unless playing the scene out implies a significant character development that needs to be explored in detail.
  
  But I cannot stress enough: any in-character romance/etc. is just that -- in character only! Please, please, please mind the IC-OOC boundaries on this. I am very much happily taken IRL. I'm not here to fulfill you romantically or sexually. I'm here to write a story with you. And I will very quickly and very easily cut you out if I think you're not here to do the same with me.
  

• VIEWS ON LORE ADHERENCE:
  I absolutely adore the canon FFXIV lore, and so I strive to stick to it as much as possible. However, I'm also aware that there are many grey areas and unknowns that exist and that ignoring them completely limits creativity and makes awkward situations to work around. All that to say:  I stick to the lore, but I'm open to creative interpretation and a teeny-tiny bit of strategic hand-wavium to avoid these awkward spots.
  
  Also, I don't claim to know everything about FFXIV lore. So if you ever see me making a major mistake, please gently correct me! (Gently, though. I'm a delicate flower. ;A;)
  
  

• VIEWS ON CHAT CHANNEL USAGE:
  Unless a scene or situation makes it more logical to use a private channel, I almost exclusively choose to use public channels and custom emotes for RP. This is my personal choice, as I much prefer to try building a world and environment with the community as a whole to make the world feel more alive and connected, rather than walling myself off with one or two people exclusively.
  
  Likewise, public channels and emotes allow for in-character consequences, such as being overheard, spied upon, etc. This is something that I really, really like. It is very immersive for me, as it forces me to think harder about the kinds of choices my characters will make about what they say/do, how they say/do it, and where they say/do it. It can almost make for some really interesting RP hooks down the line!
