Hello everyone!
I'm Ascy Anseya and even though I've been on Balmung and FF XIV in general (dragged here by a friend) for just about exactly 2 months now. I haven't gotten to know too many people outside the FC I joined, not helped by the fact I'm EU Timezone (Netherlands to be exact, and FC being 98% NA) and ofcourse the fact that I've basically never seriously RP'd prior to FFXIV. Though as awkward as I feel I'm (almost) always open to contact! Also I should add even though timezones mismatch I've grown fond of the ppl in the FC :3
Having a far-more-than-a-passing-interest for Bows & Archery I decided my IC would be absolutely perfect as an Archery instructor with a good chunk of hunting on the side. While he does also do mercenary work he's had a few bad deals in the past which sees him steer clear from most of those jobs, particularly from any source that isn't reputable. On the side I'm still perfecting my craft of becoming a Bowyer (bow builder (which does also mean I level carpenter yes)) as well as turning a fascination of straw hats into actually making those myself in my free time (along with the odd straw basket). The latter being what I like to call 'busy hands therapy'. As far as Archery instructing goes I'm basically a freelancer. By now I've already build up a decent collection of bows I really like (shadow bow, garuda's spine, bow of the wanderer to name my top picks) I generally dislike asymmetrical bows (forreals) with a few exceptions and I truly appreciate understated bow models. My first name Ascy is derived from "Ascender" or "Ascend" (OOC: Curtiss XP-55) which refers to the fact that I tend to look up a lot while idling and it's become a nickname which stuck.
I feel I'm a tad one-dimensional in all that, but it does also describe genuinely who I am (I tend to see myself as a relatively boring person overall). I have been struggling to contact people in general, because of the timezone but also because I'm new to RP (I can type, that's not the issue though!), because I like to avoid busy areas (which unsurprisingly is where most of the things happen) and because it's quite a big mental threshold for me to actually poke someone. Once I do get into a conversation though I feel I can hold my own and oh dear if the subject strays to my interests because I can and will ramble if you need me to.
Anyways, as you might have guessed I'm a Bard which is basically all I play besides gathering/crafting classes at the moment. This game has been absolutely fascinating and magical to me. That moment when you discover people can choose which fish they have in their fish tank, the light dimming when a cloud moves in front of the sun or generally the starry skybox at night, the millions of witty dialogue lines or innuendos and cool random background NPC interactions not to begin to mention the daunting but extremely intriguing RP scene which I never knew even existed to this degree. I'm here to stay for sure!
