Hi everyone! I'm completely new to RP, but I thought to myself "you know what I need to stop thinking about it and just go do it." I've always loved the RP community in MMOs, easily my favorite servers to play on. Everyone was always a joy to be around and pretty nice compared to those other servers. However I never got into RP because... well I don't know why. I was never one to jump into things and I never had friends that enjoyed it. Hell my friends mostly mock it... sigh. Anyone remember the game in Starcraft Broodwar UMS back in about 2002ish that was just a big sandbox environment? You built stuff and picked your little heroes and just started RPing. Yeah I pretty much thrived on that game mode so it's really baffling why I ventured away from RP as I grew up. With that said the paragraph above is my only experience I ever had, which isn't much. With the release on FF14:ARR around the corner I really want to get back into it but I admit I hesitate. I don't know if I have the right stuff to do it! Hopefully I'll be able to jump into this world of roleplaying without any problems. The one thing I'm concerned about is upsetting someone because of my ignorance. Show Content Anyways I guess I'll wrap up with an about meI'm 25, male & a jack of all trades. I spend time streaming games for people though not as much anymore. Changed channels a few times and now I'm very casual about it. I'm trying to work on a website but suck at naming things so it's a bit delayed till I solve that problem. I like art, I do some request for my twitch.tv fans whenever I have nothing to do. I spend my off time usually exploring the world, attempting to learn a new language (just started doing this :3), and building things since I love working hands on with stuff. I'll just end it here and say if anyone wants to help me on my journey into the world of RP I'd greatly appreciate it. I have many contacts my easiest ones are: PM me here, Skype: the.clueless Steam: Clicky Clack :3

Good luck! "Fate Will Find You" [story] "A Small Debt of Honor"[story] "A Slice of the Sun"[story]

Good luck! I been trying to fill out some list of 100 questions I found on here for fun. I thought i had a good idea of what I wanted but then I realized I was wrong! I only scratched the surface in my mind lol. The one thing I have noticed after reading stuff is the whole "your heroes story" dealio. Hosting something with your characters story and I don't know if it's really common or not but I'd rather sit back and enjoy the stories of everyone else. I always grew attached to those characters in stories that played minor roles. The old man with the wise words, the gentleman who assists the MC out of good will. The regular characters that live a normal life that you never get to learn about yet always are there to push and help the characters that appear before them. I've always really wished that game developers would add an older body model so I could roleplay those type of characters instead of having a 50 year old that's in a 20 year olds body.

Ahhh, I know that I'll just end up doing something that I shouldn't do and just ruin the moment that someones in ;-;. So many pitchforks will be acquired during my attempts, I know it!

Just like diving into a pool, once you get in you'll see the water's just fine. Don't worry though, we're all floating around in RP too, so we won't let you drown. So relax and enjoy yourself, everything'll be fine. Martiallais Heuloix - Duty. Honor. Faith. Armand Tremaux - Justice, like lightning. "We're all snowflakes in a great blizzard." - Virara 2017
