I'm not sure how I feel about vampires in FFXIV as anything other than a form of Voidsent because there's no precedent otherwise, but I enjoy vampires enough in general that I could see contemplating it were it not for needing to start with a blank slate of a character. The less work you are asking others to do, the more likely you are to get interest, which may be necessary with a niche idea like this.
Thanks for the comment. It doesn't need to be a blank slate, come to think of it. Just hopefully, someone with a low level character. Or at least someone with a character existing with significant levels until they max a class.
I was meaning "a blank slate" in terms of an RP character that doesn't already have a pre-established backstory and connections, and some role-play already put behind them. I wasn't meaning to refer to in game levels or progress. Now I'm even more confused why that's desired. x_x As those above me have said, I'm not entirely sure this would fit into the lore of the game (unless as a Voidsent). FFXIV has its own lore and the lore of other FF games does not necessarily apply here. When you're asking to RP something potentially lore-breaking, you're already narrowing your audience and asking people to jump over one hurdle already. I think it would be helpful not to give them more hurdles to cross i.e. having to make a character fresh to RP and/or the game in general. Basically, it's a lot of work to put in for an interaction that's not most people's cup of tea.
