Feel free to ask any questions. If you decide to start on Gilgamesh hope to see you at the events!
Anyways, I guess I'll answer the little welcome questions:
--MMORPG Background
My first ever exposure to an MMORPG was with Ragnarok Online back in 2002 or 2003 (i think!). Although I didn't play it for too terribly long, the genre itself really grabbed me right away. Not long after, I began playing Final Fantasy XI... an easy choice, as I've always loved the series. I played this on and off until the past year. I played (and still occasionally play/RP in) World of Warcraft, but the world itself doesn't do as much for me. I have a very relaxed attitudes towards MMORPGs and games in general. I enjoy taking the time to smell the roses, meet people, RP, and go at my own pace.
--Character Ideas
I don't wish to go into a ton of detail about this right away, but my character (Lucindea Ysabel, Hyur Midlander) is a healer, loves helping and taking care of others, somewhat quiet and lady-like, but loves to explore and see new places. She's very friendly and approachable, and I largely take many of her traits from my own personality.
--How did you learn about the coalition?
From searching on Google!
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
Medium to heavy! I'm pretty much always in character in-game, though that doesn't mean I'm against discussing day to day life, too out of character.
--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc)
I work full-time doing all sorts of things at a small company.. designing documents, graphics, writing manuals, and so forth. I love to be creative! Photography and music are two passions of mine. Landscape/Wildlife photography and Piano/Classical Guitar to be specific. I also love to read and write, of course.
