Hi! Figured I should introduce myself. I've been poking around the forums the past week or so, and you all seem like a nice bunch. I play on Balmung as Grinning Jackal, and I'm sorry to say that I'm a newbie in every sense of the word; new to the game, new to MMOs, and new to RP. I've only just started playing FFXIV this month, actually. You may have seen me wandering around, looking tall and mildly highly confused, as is my wont.
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
Uh, I don't know, exactly. Is "all of the above" a valid answer? It's the idea of cooperative, collaborative writing that drew me to RP, so the idea of character development and long term storylines really appeals to me, but I wouldn't turn my nose up at light social stuff, either.
--Character ideas/info
Well... right now I play a big fancy Roe bard lady, but as cool as dapper muscle-ladies are I've kind of had my heart set on the Au Ra since I first started, so she's probably going to be drinking a fantasia and eating a name change in the near future.
--Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc)
Hmm. I'm a dumb dweeb from New Orleans, currently attending school out-of-state - I aim to go into counseling/mental health-related social work once I'm done with school, and I can be kinda hyper-intense about mental and physical wellness as a result. I'm pretty much incapable of even basic navigation without the help of GPS, and I get into vocal arguments with my phone on a fairly regular basis. The word "duty" makes me laugh when it's spoken out loud, because I am an idiot. I'm 5' tall, and dumb short jokes are the fastest way to make me go >:C.
