Hi there everyone! I'm posting this thread today with hopes of getting a few people to help my fiancé and myself out with starting up a new role play. We started playing back when ARR first released, but some family issues tore us away from the game between October through December. Ever since we started playing we wanted to role play within the game, eventually coming up with our own story idea and characters. However, it was a bit of a pain trying to role play as multiple characters, when it was only the two of us playing as each of them. So, simply put, I'm posting this to hopefully help our plan come to fruition, because it's something we've both been dying to do since we started playing. I'll post the basic info below, but first what I'm REALLY asking for here...Our role play idea consists of a group of about ten major heroes, so we only need ten people to fill their roles. With that said, our main goal is to hopefully find people willing to fill in as those specific characters and that's ultimately what we'd like to have happen, it's just a matter of finding those willing to help. Don't worry, we're both very open about the characters, so long as you would be willing to help and play along we'll get along just fine!
 The server this will be on is Gilgamesh .
Characters
Rynn Darkwind
Race: Hyur
Class: Gladiator
Gender: Male
Status: Taken by me, of course lol
Rynn is a troubled young gladiator, with a bit of an obscure past. Once a part of the Garlean Imperial Military, Rynn participated in acts he regrets with every fiber of his being. After the Calamity, Rynn took chance of the opportunity the chaos had brought to dessert, beginning life anew in Eorzea. Taking on his new life as a mercenary, Rynn often accepts jobs aiding the Immortal Flames of Ul'Dah, particularly trouble involving the Garlean threat. After a time, he'd hope to earn enough upkeep to retire from a life of fighting and bloodshed, however, fate would find him being dragged into quite possibly the greatest battle ever fought in the history of Eorzea. After taking some time in the La Noscea area, Rynn was en route to return home to Ul'Dah, when he was put into a dream like state, encountering a strange black robed man emitting an aura of pure darkness. Little did he know, but this was an omen of things to come. Back in Ul'Dah, his path would be intertwined with a young Miqo'te girl named Aria Ceros, after accepting an escort job from the Thaumaturge's Guild. It would seem he wasn't the only one having those strange dreams, as Aria would later explain events strikingly similar to what he'd experienced. After saving the Sultana of Ul'Dah from Voidsent monstrosities, their suspicion of the dream being more than just that came true, as the two were confronted in another dream like vision by the goddess Hydaelyn, seeing visions of other Crystal Bearers scattered around all of Eorzea. The goddess beckoned to the Adventurers to seek out the Crystals. Once they'd reawoken, their journey would begin to seek out their fellow Crystal Bearers and save Eorzea from the dark plots against it.
Aria Ceros
Race: Miqo'te
Class: Thaumaturge
Gender: Female
Status: Open
Aria is a high spirited, rebellious little Miqo'te girl, hailing from the Black Shroud. After her parents were killed by Garleans when she was still very young, Aria was enrolled into the Thaumaturge's Guild by her uncle, learning the ways of Black Magic. On the day of her Rite of Passage, the last test she would have to overcome to earn the right to be a full fledged Thaumaturge, she met Rynn, the one who would serve as her escort for this test. At first glance, Rynn appeared to be cold and uncaring, seeming to only be in it for the money, however, later after hearing the story of his past, she came to understand why Rynn acted the way he did; he wanted an end to all the fighting. During her test, Rynn would interfere, an act forbidden by the laws of Thaumaturgy, saving Aria from certain death, resulting in her failure and near expulsion. However, she was offered one last chance. The Sultana of Ul'Dah had gone missing, Aria and Rynn were tasked to find and return her home safely, in return Aria would be allowed to continue her path. After saving the Sultana, the two would learn of their destiny and be giving a journey of epic proportions....to gather all of the Crystal Bearers like themselves from all over Eorzea and save it from utter destruction.
Dare (Japanese word for "who") Komiya
Race: Miqo'te
Class: Lancer
Gender: Male
Status: Open
Dare is a stern, determined young Miqo'te man, with rather outwardly cold tendencies, though as he grows to trust those around him, he begins to open up, showing a slightly friendlier side. Dare is the descendent of a long line of Dragoons, masters of the spear and dark arts. Dare's father was killed during a battle for Gridania against the Garlean Empire, breeding a major malice for the empire deep in his heart. Following in his family's footsteps, Dare became a Lancer and eventually even earned his way into the Twin Adders, Gridania's military force. Dare was made aware of the crystal he held by the leader of Gridania, Kan-E-Senna, who implored him to seek out others like him. Dare wasn't one for working in groups, but was loyal to the Elder Seedseer to the end, agreeing to take on this task on her behest...Dare is very distant, earning him the title of the Lone White Wolf of Gridania, often taking on dangerous tasks alone. On a few occasions his path crossed with Haven Cyrix, a young Miqo'te Conjurer, whom would soon be revealed to be a fellow Crystal Bearer and become his traveling companion, alongside the wildfire of energy, K'yhylia Tohka.
Haven Cyrix
Race: Miqo'te
Class: Conjurer
Gender: Female
Status: Open
A sweet, down to earth little Miqo'te girl, Haven likes to be the glue that holds the group together whenever she can be, placing other people's problems and pains before her own. Unlike the others, Haven knew of her Crystal at a very young age, so the call to duty by the goddess Hydaelyn didn't come as a surprise to her, in fact she'd spent most of her life preparing for it by learning the ways of the Conjurer. Her family had close ties to Elder Seedseer Kan-E-Senna prior to their deaths at the hands of Garleans when she was very young, causing her to be put under the Elder's personal care, which is the reason why she'd learn her fate before any of the others. After hearing the crystal's call, Haven encountered two fellow Crystal Bearers, the cold, tactful Dare Komiya and the spunky, rebellious K'yhylia Tohka, whom she would venture off from her home of Gridania alongside.
K'yhylia Tohka
Race: Miqo'te
Class: Archer
Gender: Female
Status: Open
The eccentric, egotistical, energetic party animal of the group, K'yhylia is a perfect rebel, doing all that she can to break all the rules and have fun doing it. It was by mere chance she was even brought along with the group. After learning of her crystal, K'yhylia was determined to blow it all off and only go along to sight see until she met the Ul'Dahn group, specifically Rynn, whom she'd taken an instant interest in, trying her best to be as cute as she could to hopefully draw in his attention. However, she already had competition in the form of Aria, whom she did all she could to try and one up anything she did. After Rynn and Aria finally become an item she gives up on competing with her, admiring Rynn from a distance while enjoying living her life to the fullest.
Hikari Tachibana
Race: Miqo'te
Class: Arcanist
Gender: Female
Status: Open
A strong willed Miqo'te Summoner, determined, yet at her core, sweet and caring. Hikari began learning the ways of the Summoner after her mother passed away during a pirate raid on Limsa Lominsa in her late childhood. She learns of her crystal around the same time as the others, but is quick to follow the crystal's call, leaving without a word to anyone, not even her Guardian, Sin Cyrix. Though, Sin would quickly track her down, scolding her for leaving so suddenly. Hikari has a strong, sisterly bond with her Guardian, as the two have grown close over the years. In first joining the group she is shy and distant, but grows to open to the others over time. She takes a quick fancy to Ace Grey, the group's Pugilist, though she is far too shy to admit it, they would over time grow fond of each other.
Sin Cyrix
Race: Miqo'te
Class: Marauder
Gender: Female
Status: Open
Brooding and cold, Sin is the long lost sister of Haven and sworn Guardian to the Summoner Hikari Tachibana. Sin was separated from her family at a young age after she was taken captive by the Garlean Empire, who raised her to be the ultimate killing machine. Years of constant experimentation and training to kill would soon prove only to harm the Empire, after she'd learned where she truly was from. Escaping the clutches of the Garlean Empire, but being dangerously injured in the process, Sin was found near death, floating offshore of Limsa Lominsa, where she was brought to recover. After awaking, Sin was offered the chance to return home, but believing her family to have been massacred the night she was taken, Sin instead decided to stay and put her gifts to good use, becoming a Guardian. During her time as a part of the Garlean military, she was once the mentor and Commanding Officer to Rynn, it's hinted that the two might have had a bit of a history together, however, after seeing him happy with Aria, Sin moves on, eventually falling for Dare.
Sidonis "Sid" Zenro
Race: Lalafell
Class: Thaumaturge
Gender: Male
Status: Open
A young, but very powerful Black Mage, Sid is a very shy, kind hearted young boy, who excelled his way through his tests toward becoming a Mage. Sid doesn't know much of his past, he was adopted by the leader of the Thaumaturge Guild when he was still an infant, so he's never known where he came from or who his real family is. Sid and Aria became good friends as they trained together, though Sid was much younger than him, causing Aria to teasing, yet fittingly call him "little brother". After Sid excelled passed Aria and was even accepted into the Immortal Flames, the two were separated, however, after discovering his fate as a Crystal Bearer, Sid was brought into the group, a changed person, now mostly silent, rarely speaking ever until much further into their journey. He holds his friendship with Aria strongly, yet remains distant for fear of growing too attached just to have to separate again.
Ace Grey
Race: Hyur
Class: Pugilist
Gender: Male
Status: Open
The swift mouthed, cocky, fast witted brawler of the group, Ace is just as his name implies, an ace, a hot shot who often lets his cockiness get the best of him. Though he doesn't know anyone prior to their original meeting, he becomes fast friends with most of the group. Unlike most of the group, Ace doesn't take his Crystal Bearer status very seriously until witnessing the Garleans massacre a group of people, forever changing his outlook on the world. On top of everything, Ace is a self proclaimed ladies' man, trying to hit on every girl in the group at some point or another before getting shut down by all of them on a regular basis. After she saves his life after their encounter with Ifrit, Ace falls for Hikari, before long the two are an item.
Unnamed Roegadyn Female
Class: Gladiator
Status: Obviously Open lol
I don't have a name for her yet, but she is supposed to serve as a rival of sorts to Rynn in the Gladiator's Guild and the very last to join the group. Unlike the others she is not a Crystal Bearer. This is really the only character I completely leave up to you completely to come up with if you choose to take her.
Update 2: Clair "Lightning" Farron
Race: Hyur
Class: Gladiator
Lightning will come into contact with the group after an inter dimensional travel accident, placing her in the midst of their adventure, hoping that after all the crystals are gathered and Eorzea is saved, she can return home.
...aaaaaand that's everyone!ÂÂ We can discuss the flow of the story as a group once we have all the roles filled, but until then PLEASE pass this along. I'd really love to get this RP going ASAP. Thanks for your help in advanced!
P.S. I'm posting this one my iPad and for some reason it won't paste the character pages so you can see their appearance but I'll be more than happy to fix it once I get on my laptop later.
Update: My fiancé backed out of the plan due to not wanting to role play with strangers (lol she's shy like that), but she says I'm more than welcome to continue the same RP on a different server if I can gather up enough people. So, this will now be on Gilgamesh, not Phoenix and the role of Aria is now open.
