Figured I should introduce myself. I've been poking around the forums the past week or so, and you all seem like a nice bunch. I play on Balmung as Grinning Jackal, and I'm sorry to say that I'm a newbie in every sense of the word; new to the game, new to MMOs, and new to RP. I've only just started playing FFXIV this month, actually. You may have seen me wandering around, looking tall and mildly highly confused, as is my wont. --What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy? Uh, I don't know, exactly. Is "all of the above" a valid answer? It's the idea of cooperative, collaborative writing that drew me to RP, so the idea of character development and long term storylines really appeals to me, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at light social stuff, either. --Character ideas/info Well... right now I play a big fancy Roe bard lady, but as cool as dapper muscle-ladies are I've kind of had my heart set on the Au Ra since I first started, so she's probably going to be drinking a fantasia and eating a name change in the near future. --Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc) Hmm. I'm a dumb dweeb from New Orleans, currently attending school out-of-state - I aim to go into counseling/mental health-related social work once I'm done with school, and I can be kinda hyper-intense about mental and physical wellness as a result. I'm pretty much incapable of even basic navigation without the help of GPS, and I get into vocal arguments with my phone on a fairly regular basis. The word "duty" makes me laugh when it's spoken out loud, because I am an idiot. I'm 5' tall, and dumb short jokes are the fastest way to make me go >:C.

FFXIV is fantastic, came from EVE back in Sept 2013 and never looked back. Plentiful RP and the storyline to the game itself is great (you've got a good amount of story to get through, which only improves as it goes on!) Kale Aideron Commander of the 4th Auxiliary Regiment

Welcome to the RPC! Not sure how much of the game you've seen so far, but here's a few things to help get you started in RPing. Available at mostly EST-ish evenings, feel free to poke me to help run content or chat OOC anytime! I like meeting people! Show Content A couple commands you'll probably enjoy in-game./tell <player name here, including space>: Sends a whisper/PM to that character, if they are not marked with /busy or in an instanced server/duty. /emotelist : Brings up the massive emote list. Each emote will show you the text command too /em : the "custom emote" command. If you've used the /me command in an IM chat, it works the same way. /say, /yell, /shout, /party, /ls<number>, /fc, /a : these are your commands to switch through different chat styles. You can either type it before every line, or type the command first, and then direct input after. /say: common chat. White text by default /yell: local-area chat. Yellow text by default /shout: entire map(?) Orange text by default /party: party/group chat. Blue text by default /ls<number: Linkshell chat. You can have up to 8 of them. The number matters. These are chat groups effectively. Light-ish green by default. /fc: Free Company (guild) chat. Most treat it like another Linkshell, although many FCs will also have an additional LS for either chat with people not in the FC or for RP purposes. Grey-ish-blue by default. /a : Alliance chat. This is used in the 24-person raids and Frontline PvP. It's red by default. You can adjust your chat logs/filters/colors in the Character settings. On keyboard/mouse controls, this is by pressing K. From my experience, most chat for RP falls under /say, /party, /em and sometimes /ls. Good luck!
