I. Basic InfoÂ
- Characters:Maki Rui, Twilight Orchid, Gudo Budo and many more. (Addict!)
- Primary character:Maki Rui
- Linkshells:Driftwood Coast, Berserk, OWLS
- Primary RP linkshell:(I don't really like to rp in linkshell)
- Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy):
Medium - Heavy. Â If in the game I am always In-Character unless otherwise stated. Â I'll do OOC runs and things to get better at the game but for the most part I make decisions based on the character, for the character, by the character. Â (e.g. Maki Rui as a character was raised a hunter and for that reason began as an Archer. Unless something ICly happens to make her want to pursue magic she will probably never become a Black Mage). Â I have a lot of characters created just for the sake of being roleplay plot devices.
I really enjoy emersive, gritty mature roleplay, both as a player and a storyteller. Â If you are on Gilgamesh or Balmung and have need for a mature, intelligent roleplayer that has no qualms over being a plot device or a bad guy keep me in mind! Â If you have a path you want to take your character but need a villain to help you get there throw me a shout! Â If you are a villain and need a place to stretch your legs, let me know! Â Everyone likes to play the hero... it takes a genius to pull off the antihero!
- Views on RP combat and injuries:
I love RP combat with people who are mature. Â I don't like RP combat with the people that can do backflips in full plate on the back of a chocobo while hurtling a javelin dodging every arrow matrix style. Â (I have nothing against losing a fight, I just really get annoyed at cheap unrealistic moves)
- Views on IC romance:
If it is appropriate for the character. Â I am a mature roleplayer, I prefer to play things out however the pieces may lie. Â From the sweet to the dark and everywhere in between. Â I am a very character-driven roleplayer so whether or not my character would be open to romance depends on their personality. Â I have some who lack the ability to 'settle down' but may be free spirited otherwise and some, like Maki, who are ferociously loyal and would sooner gut a person than consider a stain on her honor.
- Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc):
Same with IC romance. Â I love it all. Friendships, family, kinship, comraderie, etc. Â In fact I'd say I much prefer the grittier, lets get down in the mud and battle us some Dodo's over the "oh snookems wuvvle bear let us sip champagne and watch the sunset!"
- Views on lore:
I like to incorporate lore as much as possible. Â FFXIV I think did a great job at creating an atmosphere with a lot of wiggle room.
- Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc):
I prefer to roleplay in /say or /party. Â I can tolerate /linkshell but I prefer to not roleplay in it as though we're standing face to face when we are not. Â I would rather roleplay over Skype in that instance.
- Country:USA
- Timezone:Eastern
- Contact info:PM here, Maki Rui on Gilgamesh. Â I will share Skype and YIM with those who ask for it (but not going to advertise it here for the world to add me to their spam).
