Hello all! Â After stal- err.. lurk- no wait. Â Browsing the forum and wiki for the past little while I've emerged from my little corner to wave at all you fantastic folk. Â I will no doubt return to my silent watching again, but now that I have an account I may pop out to add a voice here and there.
For anyone interested, or simply bored while waiting for the beta to be released, I'll jot down my little background here.
MMORPG Background
I started out with WoW. Â Played from beta to Cataclysm, though I took a few breaks here and there. Â I didn't start roleplaying in an MMO until just past Burning Crusade, so a couple years into the game. Â Though WoW was my main, I did play quite a few others. Â Vanguard, Aion, City of Villains/Heroes, LotRO, GW2, EQ2, and I'm sure I'm missing a few others. Â All in all a good eight years of experience. Â I hadn't tried out FFXIV 1.0, but look forward to it's release now!
RP Experience
Forum roleplay came first, largely made up of Gaia Online. Â That was, at best, a learning experience. Â I then evolved into the MMO scene, and haven't looked back since. Â It's become such a large part of my online experience that I usually put it above anything I may do in-game. Â While fast paced in-game RP is my forte, I have kept a journal for most of my characters to switch up the pace and I think tends to add more explanation and depth to their actions.
Character Ideas/Info
As I am new to the Final Fantasy 'verse, I really would love any constructive criticism or suggestions/thoughts.  I usually create my characters around my chosen race and class when first delving into a game so as to not make many mistakes, and the personality usually fills them out the most.
As you may have noticed from the name, I really love the Lalafell in this series. Â I've always stuck with the small races in most games. Â See Gnomes for WoW, Dwarves for LotRO, etc. Â Anyway, as I haven't played any of the classes/jobs yet, this is open to change but I'm starting with a pugilist/monk. Â This little monk will have a cheerful and friendly demeanor, with a religious bend to it, possibly leading to fanaticism. Â To not clump this up too much, I'll post what I have in the Wiki when I can.
How did you learn about the coalition?
I ran across your Wiki when googling about FFXIV's races and then never really left.
What Kind of a Role-player are you aiming to be? Â Light, Medium, or Heavy?
In one word, Medium. Â To explain more concisely, I plan on role-playing as often as possible. Â Within cities, out leveling, and inside dungeons if possible! Â That being said, I also enjoy chatting with others out of character as well. Â I think the best way to put it is that I'll be a constant potential role-player, who can jump out of OOC whenever RP comes up.
Anything from Real Life you're comfortable with sharing?
I'm a fairly open person! Â My actual name's Steve, I'm 22 and live in Canada. Â I work full-time, and am often online in the early to late afternoons during the weekdays and almost all the time during the weekends.
Now then, back to my corner..Â
