Both the forum, and the game. I guess I'll use the template because it'll be easier for me to write and a lot easier for you to read instead of sifting through my ramblings.
--MMORPG background
I've played quite a large amount of MMO's, more than I care to list. Strangely enough Final Fantasy XI is not in my very long list of games played. Despite the sheer number, though, I don't think I've ever actually played any MMO to the end... and most of them I stopped after levelling about half or 1/3 the way to end game.
--RP experience
The bulk of my experience comes from pen and paper rpgs. I've rped quite a bit on the internet, but most of my attempts at a structured internet roleplay have fallen apart...
I've been doing pen and paper for a good 3-4 years now. As for internet roleplaying, I've been doing that on and off for probably around 10-13 years.
--Character ideas/info
So I'm not entirely sure where to go with this character. He's a Miqo'ta, a Seeker of the Sun. His dark skin and blonde hair are attributed to him being born and raised in the desert (somewhere around Thanlan I think, but I don't quite know the geography of this Eorzea very well). I'm still not quite sure on his backstory yet, I'm pretty poor with those, usually better at forming them as I play.
Attitude wise, I was thinking he would be a bit brash, as well as a bit cocky in a way. He's always jumping head first into action without quite gauging the situation, and he has a tendancy to rush, and can usually be seen dashing everywhere, even through city streets, jumping over and dodging around obstacles and slower pedestrians. Sometimes he can forget small details (for example, the aethernet, normally running from place to place despite the aethernet being so readily available, or passing his destination multiple times due to not paying attention to how far he's been running). He's not the brightest when it comes to most things, but what he does know is fighting.
Anyway, like I said, it's still just a bunch of thoughts in my head until I have some people to help flesh all this out.
--How did you learn about the coalition?
GOOGLE! Honestly, I just looked for Final Fantasy XIV roleplaying, and found that Balmung and Gilgamesh were the servers. A few searches later, and here I am.
I decided to try just roleplaying from the very start for once, instead of trying to tack it on afterwards. Also, I felt like it would be a fun way to meet some people, since I don't really know many people that play, and would rather play with people who aren't focused on rushing to endgame.
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be?
Definitely heavy. I roleplay best when I always act in tune with the character. Being consistent helps me understand the character better and I feel helps me avoid meta-knowledge traps.
--Real life additional stuff
I'm 26, a guy, and am probably stretching my time way too thin. Between my job (although I do manage to sometimes find time to check out forums/talk to friends at work) and fencing classes (which I have for 2 hours on Monday/Wednesday, and 1 hour on Friday) I don't really get much free time. I'll try to be on when I can, just don't expect me to be the type of person that can respond to everything within a few hours, or even a few days (although I do hate when that happens).
It's always so odd when these things end up way longer than expected.
