Hello! o/
I figured I should probably do one of these, even though I've been here for like a month already. *Sweats* I'm an anxious individual, so I put off actual interaction for as long as I'll allow myself out of nervousness to meet new people.
But, a little about myself: I'm a big forum, play-by-post roleplayer. I'm used to having planned out sessions of roleplaying, creating characters over a week or two, creating roleplays and planned roleplays for probably longer. In essence, I'm very new to the whole 'diving headfirst' style that's evident in a lot of MMO, tavern-style roleplays. It's ironic because my first experience roleplaying was on a WoW Private Server, as a kid. Dunno where all that experience has gone, though. Heh. But, even so, FFXIV is so different - everyone's kinda just made their characters from the ground up, some for over a year. It's kind of intimidating as all hell. D:
It's probably why I made my character's wiki page before I even got started RP'ing. I'm just so anxious of getting judged. But, so far, this community has been so very welcoming and kind; I'm very proud to be able to call myself a part of it, even for just a short while. I'm really hoping to stay, though, for as long as I'm able to.
Other than that, I'm still trying to ground out my character, personality wise and especialyl history wise. It's tough adhering to what I wrote because, you know, having such a fast-paced style of RP'ing forces you to go with your gut feeling more often than not. But, in leading with that, I'm definitely looking for people to befriend and communities to further root myself in. It's just a bit difficult for me, due to my more than shy nature (and with that, this weird and extremely formal way of talking; trust me, it's not how I talk naturally - I call it a nervous habit). So, if there's anyone out there that is more than happy to help out with things like lore or FC's or LS's to join in on, I'd be more than grateful. I tend to go overboard on the research to overcompensate on my personal anxieties.
But, I've been avoiding joining anything too lore-heavy, just because I'm new to this game and my only other Final Fantasy experience has been FFX, X-2, and FFXIII (also Dissidia, holy crap), though I understand those stories are super disjointed with little to no connection with each other plot wise (it threw me for a loop the first time I tried a new FF game). And I don't want to mess anything up or not understand something while in the midst of roleplaying (thank god for alt-tabbing and borderless windows. I always have Google up and ready for anything). But, uh, I'm definitely trying to remedy that. ^^'
Anyways, I think I've started rambling. There's my hello! Woo! Now, time to go hide under a rock until someone comes to potentially greet me.
I should've mention my main character somewhere, aaahhh. I made like a thousand alts right off the git-go, but I've stuck to Van'ir Mohlkoth for most of my 30 days here! Sh-should I link his wiki or... *PANIC SCREAMS*
