What in Eorzea do you mean by Realistic/Dark?
My playstyle comes with an expectation that the world of Eorzea is based in the realm of plausible realism and while magic exists there are rules to it. Â If you cast a lot of magic it is going to be draining on the body. Â If you wear a lot of armor you're not going to be doing nifty ninja flips without being slowed down a little. Â If your character decides to act like a badass and flip off the group of enemies with guns he's probably going to be shot if not killed.
When it comes to 'dark' roleplay I mean the gritty, violent world that reflects the elements already presented to us. Â Slavery, violence, abuse, betrayal, murder, drug and alcohol abuse are all completely plausible. Â Though as a responsible storyteller I will never seek to kill another person's character the fear of death I think should be a real thing and could happen if a character is absurdly obtuse (e.g. charging single handedly into battle against Ifrit). Â
What do you mean by Everyman?
No "Warriors of Light" need apply. Â While it's important that a character be unique in their own way I find the most fun with playing and interacting with individuals that enjoy a character with flaws and drawbacks. Â That is more interested in the struggle of those characters trying to survive (thrive?) in a world that's much, much bigger than they are. Â I'm not interested in characters that are lore-breaking or supremely edgy so while I am not saying there's anything wrong with your voidsent-character or child-black-mage-prodigy it just doesn't fit with me.
Story-Driven?
I fancy myself a storyteller and I like to create compelling stories that are motivated or pushed by the orchestration of individuals I have to play with. Â I often create a lot of NPCs for my plots or I try to showcase other people's characters for their talents. Â I love to make fun and have fun though my stories are often slow to unfold and have a lot of layers and twists. Â I'm not limited by this, I also enjoy playing in the stories other people create but I felt the need to distinguish this style from the "slice of life" RP a lot of people enjoy. Â The every-day RP of course happens but as a whole I am a lot more plot-driven.

I am active most eveningsÂ
EST: 5pm - 11pm
Weekdays I am active starting in the early morning hours throughout the day. Â My availability tends to make me a great contact for EU players that stay up a little late or NA players that are more active earlier rather than later.
