Not my first post, but I have a newbie question.
The first thing I noticed upon popping into Mateus was the alphabet soup in RP-tagged characters' search info. I know "ERP" is smut, but is that the same thing as E/RP? What do M and WU and the other acronyms stand for?
Proper intro stuff:
- FFXIV is my first MMO, I started earlier this year when they changed the free trial terms and I am lovin' it.
- I've RPed for almost ten years now, but mostly on Livejournal/Dreamwidth, where the standard is playing existing characters from existing media in big crossover stories, and people are absolutely anal about canon lore and characterization consistency. Original characters are a newer thing for me, but Hydaelyn is a very good setting for inspiring them!
- I found this forum by way of Sounsyy's loredumps while looking for lore from 1.0.
- I'd like to RP in-game, but probably casually, due to time constraints. Lore compliance is a must though.
-Characters, characters, characters! I have a ton on Brynhildr, if anyone here hangs out there.

- Rosalind Pytte is my main. Daughter of an Ala Mhigan refugee and a Gridanian merchant, forest-born, had an unpleasant childhood, now an adventurer based in Ul'dah. A pugilist with complicated feelings about Rhalgr and other second-gen Mhigan expats and other things she feels a connection to but can't really claim to be a part of. Possibly has an MNK soul crystal?
- Hansaku Kiba, Doman refugee, had a bad time when his clan came out of hiding in the mountains to help the rebellion. Currently an eccentric conjurer hugging trees in the Shroud, wearing a mask, and stubbornly pretending nothing bad exists. Likes puns.
- Pascaleret Merthelin, former dragon-loving heretic and current adventurer and arcanima enthusiast. Talk to him about social ills and sticking it to the Man. Still leveling him for glamour needs.
- A couple others who I'm still workshopping/leveling.
- A Dalamiq girl (one of the Xaela who worshipped Dalamud). Made her to play with a friend, I don't know if she'll stick.
- L'dyalani Mhasi, a treasure hunter who used to specialize in looting and selling Belah'dian relics and is now pressed as hell about the Calamity just shoving it all out into the open and forcing her to turn to regular old adventuring to earn a living. Covertly fascinated by void lore. Still working out the kinks of her personality.
