One thing  I get under my skin is RP elitist butting in and trying to correct people they aren't even rping with.
I been debating changing my name to something fitting for my main character's "Zachary Volfire" backstory (his parents were elezen male and au ra female)Like Zakharii Strout for example. However I'm on the fence now thanks to an rude man last night.
 Last night I was IC with a friend in rain catcher gully looking for herb for an experiment we were working on. When someone passing by stopped then in shout said "Zachary? What the hell are you role playing for your name doesn't suit lore standards." I'd ignore him at first but he went on about if i cant stick to lore i shouldn't even bother role playing." That hit a string with me cause i got lip from people who pass by and ooc comment while im ic like that before.  He went on to try to criticize me on why using a western name and assumed or said you shouldn't name or act out characters like your self anyway. You have too many crafitng jobs how can anyone learn that many?" I have multiple characters. Each of them have their own story and what not but i admit I'm a tad bit egotistical. I like putting my self in different universes once to see how long I'd survive or be successful in the world. If i can be 7 other people why can't I just have one be me? I don't make myself some outlandish or impossible person I try to just balance out anything I do with sensible responses or results. I base my abilities on what could someone actually accomplish in real life if done in "x" amount of time. I would understand if he gave me all this lecture if i asked to rp with him or be included in his link shell or whatever but i was with someone else COMPLETELY unrelated to him. So far i only had 2 corrections in my rp on ffxiv calculating how badly injured Zach would be for taking a tail to the stomach. And a proper greeting to a noblewoman. Aside form that i been pretty strict with my self on lore and possibilities. asking questions to make sure things are possible before I attempt them and even making post on here for concerns. so this guy coming in and getting on my case REALLY pissed me off.Â
I might change my name or i might just keep it Zachary Volfire because you know what some times parents can name their kids really weird things.
