Fresh RPer sends Greetings to all. - Valen Drakengard - 03-19-2014
Greetings to all, (see just like the title of the thread says) is sent to each and everyone of you. I am very new to the RP scene, but its something ive always wanted to try, since I love writing and creating characters, music for them and worlds etc.
My favourite character i've created is Valen, ill put more about him later on in this post.
Its nice to meet you all, any and all help is appreciated.
Time for the template...
--MMORPG background
Dabbled in a few free to play ones, did try out FFXI for a little bit. But since I had no one to play any mmo with, I don't stay on them for long. Though FF14 is fastly shaping up to be in my top list.
 --RP experience
None im afraid to say. But I really want to try it out.
 --Character ideas/info
Here we go then as promised more about Valen...
Valen Drakengard is 25 years old and on a mission. This mission is to find his sister. Taken from him by his brother, Farron Drakengard.
Backstory - The Drakengards were once 'familied' with a royal family. Valen's aunt was the Queen of this land. But trouble befell the whole family. Valen's father, Sirion Drakengard was a captain of the guard, but lost his wife to dark magicks (she was killed by a wandering black-robed mage of sorts), which in turn sent Sirion into a dark mind, he became crazed and psychotic and started killing his own troops.
This caused the Drakengards to be banished from their home to nothing.
Farron Drakengard (the older brother of Valen), went a different path after his mother was killed. He went after the mage in search of answers, but as he did, he succumbed to the magics of him. But something different happened to Farron, his absorbed the magic and became a stronger mage then the one who killed his mother. Now a master of Blood magic, he kills the mage and heads back home, uncontrollably so. He darkens theskies and calls upon the undead to raze havoc.
Valen and his sister, Sopheria Drakengard, developed a close bond after their mother died, Farron was jealous of this, which was another reason for him chasing the mage.Â
After V and S were banished they travelled together for a few years until Farron captured her. Farron is now very crazed and not of his own mind.
So now, Valen has wandered the lands searching for his sister, in hopes of restoring a bit of light to an otherwise very darkened world.
 --How did you learn about the coalition?
The magics of Google.
 --What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
Im not sure. Light to Medium maybe? I'll see how it goes.
--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc)
I work nights, so I may not be on as much as id like.
Hobbies? Writing stories, creating small RPGs on RPG Maker, as well as the music for them.
I hope that's everything...
Nice meeting you all and hope to get RPing.
I'll have to swap servers by looks of it though. Im not sure which one to go to. Again any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the RPC! This is also the first MMO that I've RPed in and I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I have! I am on Balmung and it's a great server, so if you decide to switch here make sure to say hi if you see me!
RE: Fresh RPer sends Greetings to all. - Valen Drakengard - 03-19-2014
I will do if I go onto that server
Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome, it's good to have you here!
 Always nice to see new role-players. Let me know if you need help with anything, and feel free to say hello sometime if you end up on Balmung!

Thank you for the welcome, Faye

Welcome there is good close knit community on gilgamesh that is very accepting as well if you decide to go there :3
RE: Fresh RPer sends Greetings to all. - Valen Drakengard - 03-20-2014
Thank you for the welcome

Oooh another mage! ♥ Hi there! I play Framboise Zakuro, who's very much something of a magic geek.
If you choose to come to Gilgamesh, we have a bustling (and growing!) Disciples of Magic-centered LS called Phoenix Down. It's an in-character Linkshell with members from Free Companies all around Gilgamesh! We'd love to have you!

Thanks for the welcome. But Valen isn't a mage, in the backstory, his brother becomes a blood mage. But Valen is at best a swordsman with medium level of skill, not the best and not theworst. Although in his storyline, the Drakengard family always had strong ties to magic, Valen's has yet to unlock but I have a direction id like it to go
Its nice to meet you all.
RE: Fresh RPer sends Greetings to all. - Mippa - 03-21-2014
Oops! Totally misread that, my bad! Even so the magic-in-the-backstory sounds fascinating, and something that would be interesting to explore!

A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
If you do find yourself gracing Gilgamesh, I would suggest looking into the Coalition OOC linkshell (just post in that thread about available times to get you in).
Since you are more physically inclined, might I suggest joining the Berserk linkshell.
I am certain there are more out there, so don't be shy to ask around in /shout or /yell in your starting city.
And feel free to say hello to my character in game, ask questions, or for RP. Â I never turn anyone away.
