Thank you for you kind replies. You could have easily chastised me for being impatient and/or expecting too much, but you didn't. I'm a little frustrated that I didn't get into one of the servers and that I can't read (phase 4 email specified time frame). I'll take this opportunity to expand on myself a little using the template.
--MMORPG background
Everquest, Final Fantasy XI, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2
I didn't get very far in any of these except WoW, but I stopped playing during Burning Crusade.
--RP experience
I played on a Harry Potter server for Neverwinter Nights for a while, which encompasses most of my RP experience. I also played a few sessions of D&D 3.5, hardly worth mentioning. I'm not overly creative, I'm more of a reactive player; that is to say more of an actor than a writer. I often find myself thinking about what I would do if I was the character in a book I'm reading and not so much thinking up scenarios in which characters would find themselves. I'd like to be a part of someone else's story as a supporting character more than I'd like to write my own story.
--Character ideas/info
I got hooked on Final Fantasy when I was in Elementary School when I played FFIV (FFIIe). I'd like to play a Dragoon as my first character since Kain was my favorite character in that game (despite his weaknesses). I'm thinking more of a solemn character, again kind of a supporting role, maybe a soldier or member of a squad or guild.
--How did you learn about the coalition?
Google: "FFXIV roleplaying server"
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
Well light at first, but depending on how things go I'm up for anything. I do like completing quests/objectives within the game no matter the rewards, so I'll still do that kind of thing. I'm not out to max my level ASAP, I prefer to experience everything there is.
--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc)
I work for a company that supplies schools with science equipment for labs; physics, biology, chemistry, etc. I do test/calibration and have an eye for quality.
In the past I've found that most RPers are much more creative than I am, however I'd still love to be a part of this community. Let me know if you need a supporting role for your epic saga!
