Hello, everyone!
I’ve been in this game for a while, but I’ve never really gotten off my butt and seriously sought out specific kinds of contacts to further my character’s story. FFXIV offers a unique stage for roleplay, and I find it would be a shame to not take advantage of that. I hope to find some cool people here to be friends with, both IC and OOC.
A little about Naja: She’s a Keeper miqo’te, adopted by a hyur couple. She’s a Lominsian through and through due to where she grew up, and because her mother is an ex-pirate. Naja is a big tomboy who enjoys exploration, sparring, but also enjoying a quiet moment with nature and loved ones. She has plenty of insecurities and complexes, however, related to her identity.

Hopefully my descriptions won’t read like a spreadsheet, but honestly, I find organization as a way to alleviate a lot of stress, as well as a tool to promote ideas that only further the roleplay experience.
I’ve had a good idea of how I’d like Naja’s story to go, I just haven’t found the right people to play with. :3

Childhood Best Friend: Besides immediate family, who influences a person more than a childhood best friend? This person doesn’t have to have the same interests as Naja, but they should mesh well together. This might be the trickiest role to fill in in the list, since finding a best friend is all about chemistry.
Rival/Playful Antagonist: Pretty self-explanatory, but I always find having someone to argue with/bounce banter off of to be a fun part of a person’s story.
Hyur (or other) Relatives: Naja is adopted by hyurs, but is also an only child. If you already have a hyur character, perhaps you could be her cousin, aunt, uncle, or other type of family relative. It’s worth noting, that even if her mom and dad are hyurs, that doesn’t mean that her distance relatives can’t be from other races. Dating between other races, and adopting children from other races isn’t unheard of, after all.
Miqo’te Long Lost Relatives: Naja doesn’t know anything about the family that originally conceived her. There’s a lot of mystery surrounding the tribe that she came from, and the circumstances that left her orphaned. If you have an idea, or want to work with me to come up with a background to her past using your character, I think this would provide a lot of fun!
Romantic Partner: Yup, this too. Finding a partner to work into your story can be a bit of a headache, so I’m going to be candid and just say what I’m looking for, just as I did with the other roles. :p For this spot, I’m probably looking for either a hyur or a miqo’te mate for Naja. A hyur would make a lot of sense since that was the culture in which she was raised. She’s relaxed around them, and sees herself as a hyur in a lot of ways, so it would come pretty natural to her (given the right person, of course). For hard but interesting mode, she could hook up with another miqo’te. It’s not that she doesn’t like other miqo’te, but she’s just initially wary of them, especially ones that come from a tribal background, since their customs are lost on her. It would obviously be easier for her to get along with another miqo’te that has a background similar to hers. Regardless of race, she probably gets along best with someone who shares similar interests to her. Those interests would include sparring, humor, adventuring, and taking a quiet moment to enjoy the natural beauty of the world. She’s straight.
?????: Other kinds of interactions. I'm just open to RP!

A bit about the mun: I’ve been roleplaying for about eighteen years, mostly on AIM. I graduated to FFXIV roleplay a few years back. I live on the East Coast, and the best times to get in contact with me are weekdays 5-10 pm, or the weekend. I tend to stay up pretty late on the weekend. My personality is an INFJ. And I also do roleplay through Skype, username: naja_eloquie.~
I like roleplay partners who have a sense of humor (dark or obscure is completely accepted :p), and who don’t take themselves too seriously. Even if I wrote out what I’m looking for specifically, I'm not a super serious person or roleplayer. I’m aware that I’m acting out the adventures of a cartoon cat-person. With that said, I still expect my role play partners to communicate with me openly and honestly, and be courteous to my feelings (and I'll of course be courteous to yours). Making an effort with a well fleshed out character is always ideal.
