Hello everyone. I'm posting this in hopes that I could get a few pointers in creating a character for a fanfiction about FFXIV. The server I'm on isn't RP based and many of my character creations are mainly for writing and not RP.Â
I used to RP a lot on World of Warcraft as a human then gnome by the name of Plua Swiftwind. She was a Mage that had a secret past that only those closest to her knew of. I loved the character and had many RP moments and fiction ideas for years that is until I had my heart broken and I haven't used said character in 5 years as it has too many painful memories attached. Since the. I've not written much of anything, except ideas that come and go before I can elaborate on them. Lately, as you all have read in the posts I've made, I've been struggling to find a new character that I had such a close personal connection with like I did with Plua. I have my main Tsubasa Lightheart back (was lalafell and is now an Au Ra). I've been pulling from the saying "write what you know" for inspiration. I've been pulling inspiration from the anime Sailor moon/horses and a little from my old character's background. For those who write, how do you come up with a character and backstory for writing? I would love to RP but I'm scared to move a character over as the last time I was on Balmung queues to log on to the server were long. Has that changed?
Thank you all for reading this and for any advice you may give.
