My very first RP character I made on here was an Ishgardian. Granted I knew very little of the lore but I tried to make do with what I did know. I think my character was over dramatic and failed miserably XD I always had a bad habit of making overly dramatic characters. But jumping between a Gilgamesh for End Game and Balmung for RP was inconvenient and made me tend to not put as much effort in the ability for my characters to last for very long. I have come to enjoy more slice of life roleplay and I have found others around me have as well and would like to return to my roots for a second time and see if I can make a lasting Ishgardian character to be my new RP and Endgame main on Balmung.
I have looked around the forums a bit on old posts regarding Ishgard and answered the 100 questions to ask your RP character to help flesh out my character. But I am still wondering what else I can do to support him and what more information I can gather on Ishgard. So any advice for my character, knowledge regarding Ishgard, or possible distant connections you may want to make with my character are well appreciated. I would also like to know who plays Ishgardians still (I remember there was a small community a while back, but I don't know who still plays)
What I was thinking for my character is that I want his father to be a Hyur from Ishgard and his Mother to be a Sickly Miqo'te who the Hyur met on his travels around coerthas with the military and who died from childbirth. Leaving the Hyur alone with my character who I have decided to call Enzo, he could not bear to abandon him and so used his semi high rank in the Ishgardian military to allow Enzo to stay in Ishgard with him. But it took a toll on his rank and eventually put Enzo and his father in poverty. His father would have sheltered him under the excuse that he was sickly later on and would recently help him escape Ishgard to seek out a better life (As the events that may take place and are foreshadowing with the Ishgard expansion may force Enzo into the military which his father has been trying to avoid) That is the basics.
I can send the 100 questions and their answers over PM to anyone interested in learning more about his story in detail and possibly wanting to make some sort of connection with him (Although I would prefer nothing TOO close. You will understand why if you read the 100 questions)
Again, if this backstory seems unrealistic feel free to tell me and I will make an effort to fix it. I wanted him to be somewhat different. But have a relatively undramatic and believable situation. Any knowledge on Ishgard that may have not been in previous posts is appreciated if shared and I would like to get to know other players who play Ishgardians and how their roleplay has been. :3 Thank you
