I started playing FFXIV a few weeks ago. Forgoing an RP server at first, I picked Hyperion to play with some old friends; which didn't quite work out. Just last night I transferred over to Mateus, and am interested in joining the RP community. I have about 2 years of RP experience between STO and SWTOR. I realize it's a big transition from Science Fiction/Fantasy to High Fantasy, but I'm also a Final Fantasy Fan (VIII being my favorite) so I look forward to it.
My character is a Hyur named Tirothion Reiem. I'm still working on a backstory for him, although I have some ideas. I could still use some help from some of the more lore-savvy players here. I'd like to find some way for him to hail from a technologically advanced civilization (about modern tech levels or so), as those settings in Final Fantasy are the ones I've found myself liking the best. However, as far as my understanding of the lore goes, that would leave the Garlean Empire as the best candidate. Considering they are the baddies, I'd have to think of a way to make that work. I mean, I could always go the "coming from another world" or "was brought into the past (or future) from a technologically advanced Eorzean civilization"; which I'm sure would go over really well so I'm going to stop that train of thought right there. Point is that I would like to find a backstory that I'm happy with but doesn't make people roll their eyes as they read over my bio, so any help in that regard would be appreciated.
Personality wise, Tiro will be the "serious demeanor but good heart" kind of character. Not a complete prude, but he'll have to warm up to you before he laughs at your jokes. Regardless of how that makes him seem, he won't hesitate to put himself between danger and someone else; as he doesn't hold his own life in as high regard as others. Unless that life is one of malevolence, then he won't hesitate to smite it out for the greater good. That covers the basics for him, now I just need to find a way to mesh that with a backstory.
That's about it for Tiro, now a bit of info about me: I'm 29 years old and I work as an ambulance dispatcher in California's bay area. I live with my lovely wife to whom I have been married to for almost five years. When I'm not at my computer or playing video games, I tend to build plastic models of the giant robot variety (Gunpla is freedom). My favorite Final Fantasy is VIII, and Squall has been my favorite video game protagonist ever since I was 11. I'm a big Scifi fan, and could probably hold a decent conversation with you if you ask about any movie or show with the word "Star" in it. My favorite book series are The Expanse and The Dresden Files, and I've written a novella length story on the /r/nosleep subreddit. I really enjoy RP because making stories has been a long time hobby of me and I feel it has made me a better writer.
And that's enough about me for now. I look foward to meeting some of you in game.
