INTRODUCTION
First off - Hello!My real name is Ashleigh - clearly, I mean, my name is clearly not Just A. Hedgehog. I am mostly at-home, so I have .. well..way too much time to play. I am, however, in the Central NA Timezone (-6:00 GMT).
ACT I : MMORPG BACKGROUND
I used to play Final Fantasy 14, but left due to an illness in my family. I've also played numerous other MMOs, but only FFXI and FFXIV have had success in pulling me back in post-leaving.
ACT II : ROLEPLAYING STYLE
I usually roleplay in every game I play, permitting I can find the "Right" server to find fellow roleplayers on. I mean, you can only talk to an NPC in a one-sided conversation for so long, right? I am .. uh.. I guess neutral-good alignment, but sometimes lawful-neutral?
I will probably start out as light roleplay, moving into heavy at a fairly rapid rate (I usually am a medium to heavy roleplayer, once I get my feet wet).Â
ACT III: THE CHARACTER
Currently, I don't have a character re-built on the game yet, and I'm still quite serverless, as in my return - I've yet to find information on which of the roleplay servers is still very active in terms of population and roleplay.
ACT IV: THE PERSON
Well, I'm a 23 year-young person. I dabble in various arts (Digital drawing/painting, and traditional acrylic painting. I love acrylics.), and love hands-on crafts. If they take quite a bit of "Problem solving" as I go, that's even more awesome.However, artsy stuff has been "on hold" since my father passed away in May after 59 days in ICU.Â
Recently, I've been more focused on my pets, since it's therapeutic for me to take care of another living being, and focus that energy. Before, I was my father's caretaker for around 11 years (He was disabled long before ICU).Â
I have 4 beautiful hedgehogs, and 1 Lesser Hedgehog Tenrec (They're little critters that *look* kind of like hedgehogs, I mean, they have quills. They're from Madagascar, though, and are more closely related to Elephants and Anteaters. )
We have "Bonnie" and "Clyde", "Popcorn" and "Waffles", and "Pixel" - respectively.Â
We also have dogs - Â my mother has an English Mastiff and Shiba Inu, and I have a French/English bulldog mix, and a Miniature Schnauzer.Â
ACT V: THE STRUGGLE
No really, seriously. Â I'm having some struggles figuring out just where to get started.
I'm sure I can find some of the information forum-surfing (And I will!) - Â but, until then, I suppose I will list the "struggles" for you!
- Balmung, or Gilgamesh?
- Where does one find lore and naming conventions for the various races?
- Just how the heck does one find friends and the like, when they are starting over new, with no connections?
- Is there a resource to hook up with "RAF" folks on either one of these servers? I tried Reddit, but so far, no luck. I have 2 of my own Game Time cards, I just want potential friends and connections. I guess this is suspicious, apparently.Â
FINAL ACT: THE CONCLUSION
TL;DR: 23 year old chick with too much time on her hands, pet hedgehogs, and one weird animal, needs to make friends on one of the roleplay servers, and any help on Lore/naming conventions is greatly appreciated. Â P.S. Â I have a new account and 2 game time codes for Insta-Chocobo for a lucky, helpful soul.BONUS ACT: AWW.Â
Bonus: Totally attaching a picture of my Tenrec, Pixel. She's awesome. Â She's roughly the size of a fat hamster, or a smallish rat, without a tail.
