Heya, I'm terrible with introducing myself so I'll try to follow the format that was recommended in the stickies:
I've been playing MMORPGs for years now. I believe I started when I was a kid, playing games like Toontown and Fusion Fall as they came and went. As I got older my first 'serious' MMO was SWTOR back in the days before EA drove out expansions and streamlined the classes. Then, WoW took hold of me and did so for a while. I played with friends around Mists of Pandaria and later Legion. Only recently did a friend of mine fully convince me to step into Eorzea. I had plans to roleplay, if I liked the game, and joined Jenova. My character on there was at first an Elezen, later fantasia'd into an Au-Ra at the end of ARR. It was around then(A scant few days ago, actually) that I really got the itch to RP. There was only one real problem...
RP on Jenova is either very hard to find, or almost non-existent. The people are nice and the XP bonus is certainly good for checking out various classes and leveling, but it didn't scratch the urge I had to develop a character and tell a story. I heard Mateus was a good RP server, so I made an alt just today to check it out. I didn't get very far before the emergency maintenance started and I had to get off. However, through google-searching, I found this place and decided it'd be a good a place as any to poke around and get a feel for the RP community on FFXIV. So far, I haven't been disappointed.
In terms of RP experience, I've been RPing since roughly 2010. In terms of MMO RPing, I've only ever really done it once before, on SWTOR years ago, as WoW is very hard to pin-down when it comes to roleplay.Â
My characters are Parcemal Evereux, former Elezen turned Xaela Au-Ra who I have yet to name change, and Kaede Yuzuki, Raen Au-Ra. Parcemal has no real set class or backstory, given that I've been using him to more learn the game and classes rather than building a set character. Kaede I've built so far as someone who left her people in-search of Adventure, and eventually ended up in Eorzea just prior to the Doman Refugees filled into the city-states. Beyond that, I have no clue what her class for roleplay and gameplay will be. Although I'm partial to making her either a Scholar, a Red Mage, or a Samurai.
I'm a heavy RPer, I love crafting stories and building characters, and although I won't treat everything I do as in-character, I try to be ready to RP whenever someone else wants to.
Real life? Well, I'm a nineteen-year-old guy, living in good old Central Standard Time. Currently looking for a job and spending time not spent applying to jobs playing FFXIV and talking to friends. Nothing really interesting, to be honest.Â
Well, this ended up being longer than I expected... Sorry about that!Â
TL;DR: Roleplayer who recently made a Mateus-alt to check it out, working on character ideas and looking to make connections with fellow RP Hobbyists.Â
