FFXIV:ARR Casting Call Contest - Clover - 08-13-2014
(I apologize if this has been posted before. I haven't found anything).
SE brings everyone the chance for their character to appear in-game as NPCs.

Personal thoughts: From the sound of it, this contest doesn't seem to be RP friendly. The description of your character is very brief as if they didn't really care about them, and they state that "the exact length and nature of any appearance to be entirely at our discretion". Basically, they can add whatever story and personality they want for your character. It sounds more like a gift for non RPers, for this might be the closest thing to their characters having a soul they might ever achieve.
This said, it's still a cute idea. I've participated with K'mih, since she's a simple character and I wouldn't really care about what they do with her. Clover wouldn't be suitable for any quest due to her silent and strange personality. That, and the fact I'd never leave her in hands of a random person who doesn't care about her to start with *laughs*.
Are you participating in this contest?
If so, what character are you choosing and why?

I'll do it, but I have to pick between Nyx, A'ria, and G'iselle, and that's daunting

I will be. If they get the gist, I can be happy to be a part of the world beyond being in the credits. If they completely retool Warren into someone he's not, then that gives me a mistaken identity angle to work into my own story. And it'll be canon.

"...will select...based on originality and creativity." Hmm, I wonder how creative a person can get with 50 words and five or so screenshots, but there are some very clever people. Maybe it's more about entertaining the judges than advertising your character? At least, that's what I'm thinking of doing (the entertaining thing).
I pretty much only have one fleshed-out character, so, Ame, it's time to get photogenic!

This has to happen.
