Greetings members of the Role Playing Coalition! (^_^)/
My character's name is Amrita Prakriti & I currently play on Wutai server.
I have been playing FFXIV since closed Beta & had no idea that Besaid was going to be the unofficial "official" RP server until it was too late.
When I came to FFXIV, I really wanted to just be in-character as often as possible, but that has proved very difficult on my server.
With the merge and an opportunity to move coming up, I thought I would entertain switching worlds/servers.
To answer questions you all may have about me:
MMORPG background: Not much~ I played FFXI for several years. Abyssea came out, CoP level cap was abolished... I lost the desire to play as one by one my friends cared more about getting stuff, gear, level maxed out, etc then anything else. The adventure was gone for me. I was accepted into FFXIV's beta and stayed.
RP experience: Also.. not much aside from (in ffxi) swooning over Samurai I haven't really had much opportunity to RP in an MMORPG.
Character ideas/info:
I did start a little story blog which can be found on Loadstone or here: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://amritaxiv.blogspot.com/2011/05/whats-in-name.html">http://amritaxiv.blogspot.com/2011/05/w ... -name.html</a><!-- m -->
In a nutshell, Amrita grew up with her parents and sister in their hermitage on the outskirts of the Black Shroud. As she grew up, something beckoned her to Gridania... and there the adventure begins. She is really naive with her interactions with others since thus far she has been isolated in the hermitage.
How did you learn about the coalition?
I posted a "Curious..." thread on the official FFXIV loadstone forum and was directed here by Endemerrin.
What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Casual, moderate, or heavy?
This is where I might need some guidance. I thought it would be fun to just always be in character, but I would imagine that can be pretty difficult at times. Plus I have never technically done it.
Anything from real life you’re comfortable with sharing?
In real life I teach and study yoga. I like to weave the spiritual and philosophical aspects of Yoga into my character's behavior. And of course it influences my actions in real life as well. =p
I live in Texas and we're central time zone here... BUT!! As a rl aspiring karma senyasan I get up around 5am to do my personal practice, then log onto the game while others of the household are sleeping so I don't disturb them. I try to go to bed around 9 or 10 at night. So my "prime" play time is more like JP or EU I guess. I don't know if that would fit in with any of the linkshells here.
Other Information:
On Wutai, I have a few social linkshells but as people push asap to level 50, they quickly branch out and away and join whatever the "end game" ls of the day is and spam Ifrit/Moogle until they get their fill of weapons.
Perhaps it is selfish of me, but I want more then that. I would like to be in a linkshell with people who stay in that ls and don't just do the same fights over and over, don't just rush get 50 in every job... I want a linkshell with fun and interesting people who don't laugh at the idea of forming a party to go out fishing together.
And of course, a linkshell that isn't afraid to play their "toon" as a character. To be something they aren't for a while. To enjoy the RPG aspect of this mmorpg.
Seems to me this is the best place to find that, no? ^_~
Wow that was long.. sorry >_>;;;
What I want to know is... where would I fit in best, if at all?
If you have any questions for me please don't hesitate to ask. I'll try to keep my answers short, sweet and to the point!
