PLAYER DIRECTORY thread! Check it out, because I have no idea what I'm doing, either.
I already put up some info in the other thread, but minor boring mun info here:
New to MMO rp, but not to FFXIV or rping in general! So really, I just gotta get used to how this works. How people usually do it, etc. Hoping to learn and get a foothold and have lots of fun! \o/ Woo.
Now onto the good stuff –the actual character.
Rhiki Padfoot, 16 year old Keeper male.
(Well,the equivalent of a fifteen-to-sixteen year old human, both mentally and physically.)
(On another note – he is a Seeker/Keeper mix. Such is probably obvious ICly to whoever would notice.)
Now,
what am I looking for?
… anything!
No,really. While Rhiki is his own character, he is susceptible to a lot of different sorts of growth depending on who he hangs around with a lot. Though I will admit, I do favor me the darker shades of things. That being said, some dynamics/things/ideas I'd like to see:
... and here's where I stop because this post is getting too long and I need to actually work on progressing ingame and getting his wiki page done.
But yeah! Lots of options, really. Willing to work with anyone who has even a little interest in dealing with him. :'D

- He's a kid at heart, which generally means he's usually pretty decent to be around, if not aggravating – the kid's smart. A little too smart, and given the right motive and opportunity, will probably rob you of about half your gil.
- As you might have figured from the above, he's a little bit of a criminal, though it's only ever in just stealing things.
- He's homeless, so he often wanders everywhere and sleeps wherever. For the most part, stealing is done to survive – and probably get a little bit extra. He's had a few rough runs with people trying to take advantage of him, though it hardly affects much -- he's initially hard to trust, but... it takes little to no effort to dazzle him into admiration, usually.
- He probably could settle down and try to claw his way up, but nah. He ain't about that life. Kid's got ambition, dreams. Those dreams usually change every time you talk to him, but the goal is the same: he wants to make it big.
- Feel free to call him an idiot – he's not good at keeping his cool, and while he knows how to lie and act, he's not that great at it. He has a bunch of obvious cues and can get riled up pretty easily – his attempts to try and match a far more superior opponent (in terms of wit, acting, cunning, etc.) can be pretty amusing.
- He's had some time to adjust from leaving his tribe, and he took really well to living in the cities – tribal life is a mystery to him; it felt comfortable,sure, but stuffy. Boring.
Now,
what am I looking for?

No,really. While Rhiki is his own character, he is susceptible to a lot of different sorts of growth depending on who he hangs around with a lot. Though I will admit, I do favor me the darker shades of things. That being said, some dynamics/things/ideas I'd like to see:
Quote:Serious Business:Â
Is your character Mr. Grumpygills? Someone did something undesirable to their cereal that day? Village burned down by an arch-nemesis? WELL. Rhiki isn't really someone to try and soothe another. He might offer words of comfort, but his idea of getting someone on their feet is usually by trying to drag them onto their feet or by trying to be such an overly positive energy and get them to start moving to either join in his positivity or to strangle him. Either works.
But what if they aren't nice? Rhiki can be an enemy. An annoying, obnoxious enemy. He'll take your gil, if not your shoe. And if he can't steal,he'll hinder you in some petty, silly way – putting rocks in your shoe, playing crocodile tears to the nearby law enforcement, or something.
And hey, maybe they could be friends. He is still a child – his energy and way of thinking could sometimes be refreshing. He could be like a puppy, and be a good companion to have good Banter with, or he could simply be a background character who offers a moment of respite. Probably.
Quote:Birds of a Feather:
Likewise, others similar to Rhiki can have interesting interactions.
Anyone happy-go-lucky or as young as he is would be pretty cute – and interesting, depending on the differences in ideals. Otherwise, it's at least a nice, lighthearted series of interactions, and could lead to either fast friends or fast enemies depending on how well (or how badly) they may clash. Think of how kids can get into pretty serious arguments and such over miscommunication and... really petty stuff. Except their 'serious arguments' are usually squabbles and scraps.
Quote:The Not-So-Lame-os:Â
Does your character actually do a thing?A job, though not of the criminal variety – that comes later. Simply put: there's probably a hook in there someway or another, whether it's Rhiki taking up a job as being the packrat/temporary assistant, being an actual assistant (albeit a constantly wayward and easily distracted one), or the kid who tags along when you're on important errands and either tries to take your stuff or shows genuine curiosity in what you do. He's seen a lot of the city, but he hasn't seen much of what the Big Boys do – that is, people with actual jobs. Careers. Studies.
And at the worst, he can always just laugh at your job if its something he thinks is really lame, but there's usually some intrigue to be found.
Quote:Miqo'te:
A category all on its own, because there's just a bunch of different things that could be done.
Males– be prepared for an annoying tag-along, especially competent(-looking)Keepers. Seekers, too, because they have a lot more stuff going on-- who the heck is 'Nuhn' and 'Tia' and why do they have so many kids?! (he really doesn't know what the heck's up with Seeker culture), and they also look kinda cool.
Depending on the personality, be prepared for a scrap, too... one that Rhiki will probably lose due to his overall inexperience. Poor kid.
Females– Beat. Him. UP. He's not entirely sure how to go about handling females. He's not necessarily awkward, per se – but the female Miqo'te he's ever interacted with were his siblings. You know, girls who were eventually raised to be hunters and gatherers. More often than not, he's just blunt and acts as usual, if not a little more loose-tongued and likely to offend.
Quote:The D A R K S I D E:
Hooray, darker connections! Criminals, void people, etc. – feel free to either corrupt this kid or make a fool out of him. Really, it'll probably be fun to watch, and interesting to play. I'll probably actually add DRK to his list of classes eventually, so a plot with that could be neato.
But otherwise. Ayyyyy criminals. B^)
At the very least, it'd be hilarious to watch a proper thief put him in his place. Imagine if he unwittingly tried to steal from one. Hell, what if he actually managed to do it? What if he failed and got robbed?
Good stuff, man.
... and here's where I stop because this post is getting too long and I need to actually work on progressing ingame and getting his wiki page done.
