Howdy folks!
Seems I missed the front desk and wandered right in, so I figured I should take the time to introduce myself proper. I'm a returning player from back in beginning of ol' 2014, and have been on hiatus since some minor health problems cropped up last fall. August, I think, was when I first took the plunge and gave MMO RP a try- and absolutely loved it and FF14's Balmung community, beyond compare.
Having come from the rather bleak MUD community, particularly IRE games, I distinctly remember XIV as breath of fresh air. The fact that the sheer amount of players here alone beats out that of any old text-based game by the double digits aside, I was genuinely, thoroughly impressed with the quality of RP I witnessed as a bystander. I think the friend of mine who referred me to RPC put it best when she said something like, "The first 5 minutes of roleplay here have been better than anything I ever experienced in the MUDs I played for 5 years." It is that community I am enthusiastically looking forward to rejoining.
My primary interests are med-heavy and MRP, especially that revolving around recurring interactions or arcs. Currently, I play a morally dubious, somewhat chaotic antagonist who loves to turn up unexpected and stick his nose into all sorts of places. My only set of conditions as a roleplayer are that I don't care for OOC drama, politics, or popularity contests. I generally prefer impromptu to script acting, but can do both. IC confrontation and conflict is something I thrive on, and I would much rather play out combat and scuffles with the /roll function, within reason and to the comfort of the other parties involved. Furthermore, I am very open to the possibility of the mutually satisfying death of my character(s), if and when a story reaches its appropriate climax.
All in the name of good fun!
