yo i'm imayosh, you can call me ima or whatever else. been playing ffxiv for going on a year now with too many alts, all for rp purposes. i'm a fairly skilled healer (whm/ast main), caught up to the current patch story-wise, have multiple lv 60 classes, overall experienced in the (battle side of the) game. i won't need any guidance in that respect, and can provide it as wanted!
i've also been rping for many, many years, but never in the mmo format -- the rp alts mentioned previously are just me and my friends making characters with the name and appearance of our fave characters to play, very minimal actual rping involved. my past rping has been on gaiaonline and tumblr, as well as scattered forums and rarely skype.
i've been itching for a new place to rp (+ a place in general to rp a character that's been brewing), and i already waste hours and hours on this damn game so... dots connected, this feels like a possible next step.
i'm looking for a... medium? rp experience? i want to do plenty of rping but not in a stuffy environment. i want to be able to talk about ooc things, especially related to the character like amusing hypotheticals and info that would never come up in-character.
now here are my questions surrounding that -- and potential problems:
-- server-wise, is there, like... a third option?
i'm NA datacenter (Aether), and obviously balmung and gilgamesh are closed for new characters. i don't want to spend real money on a server transfer, especially before i'm sure i enjoy this style of rping anyway. are there other servers with active rping, even if it's just getting into a good group and sticking with that group? what are my options?
-- i know Special Snowflakes, etc., are generally considered to be in bad taste. however.
i'm not especially interested in playing Your Average Townsperson/Lowbie Adventurer. i enjoy rps with groups of unique, maybe not strictly realistic, characters (the key here being groups, not a single powerful person but a group of unique individuals that might seem overpowered in normal context). is it reasonable to look for a group that supports the idea of not adhering strictly to ffxiv lore, playing off the lore into branching ideas, things like that? i've got ideas that would not necessarily adhere neatly to the currently-known lore, but wouldn't be entirely out of left field either.
-- i need an lgbtq+-friendly group!
not a question just a fact, any and all of my characters are going to be queer in some way or another and i'll need a place that's comfortable and welcoming of that! i've heard faerie is the "official lgbt server" but i don't imagine there's much overlap with that and rp... so a group will have to do.
as for myself, i'm 22, genderfluid (please use they/them to refer to me!), and a manager at my local convenience store. i have no life so i just work, play ffxiv, and occasionally sleep. in the future i'm planning on being a game creator but lmao who has the time.
