Rough and tumble is definitely not bad- keeping to the basics and letting RP give you some direction and ideas on the fly is a perfectly viable way to go about it! Probably call that the "run & gun" approach. That was pretty much how I did things breaking out for the first time 3 months back- you just kind of learn the lore as you go, but more importantly, it gets you out into the community right away.Â
As for Discord... this is something that was REALLY new to me too when I started, because using Skype and Discord as RP channels is pretty new to the scene (*shakes cane*). Voice chat is completely optional and in fact very rarely have I seen it actually used- this applies to all of the Discord RP FFXIV channels I'm in. Think of the Discord channel as an out-of-game text / IM method for soliciting for contacts, RP, and planning. It's an extension of linkshell chat in-game. That being said, you don't have to join the Discord if you don't want to- we can get you into the linkshell in-game and leave it at that, too!Â
As for ShroudLife itself... keep in mind, this IS just a linkshell- you're not applying to a free company here, so there's no major commitments and there's no huge interview process. If you think you'd have due cause to interact with characters here, then you're a perfect fit. It's a another avenue to network, at the end of the day. Make contacts, get RP!Â
As for the dirty pair... you're certainly welcome to come meet Kasi! Just based on your Miqo'te's basic personality description, she'd be an interesting foil to her. I tank and DPS dungeons (mostly tank) with Kasi, and I'm happy to tank for other folks for what they need or drag them along with me! I'm usually online after 5PM CST.
EDIT: As for your other questions...
Yeah, it's 3 RL days before you can move the characters. That got me too when I moved Kasi onto Balmung. It's not game time.
There's a few lore gurus around here on the RPC that you can pose questions to in the lore forum. I can probably answer some questions if you have them too, but being as how I'm still a little green myself, some of my answers will probably end up being some variation of, "I don't know, let me check the lore book." Still, happy to help where I can!
