Hello! I've been playing FF14 for a couple of months and figured it was time to start actually interacting with people and being social, instead of hiding in a remote corner of Limsa making pies all day.
A friend of mine who's been playing since the original beta finally talked me into trying FF14, and I ended up loving it! My friend plays on Balmung, and I was super pleased to discover that I'd ended up on one of the RP servers. I've roleplayed with a couple of people who were kind enough to talk to me while I was idling in some Adventurer's Guild or other, and I'd really like to get more into it! In general people on FF14 seem pretty welcoming and nice.
--MMORPG background
I played WoW and Star Wars: the Old Republic before FF14. WoW was the only one I played seriously.
--RP experience
I RPed extensively in WoW and loved it, which is the primary reason why I'm looking for RPers on FF14. I have been roleplaying since I was a wee lass (nearly 20 years, off and on, I think...wow, I feel old). Mostly tabletop, with some LARP, online RP, and MMO roleplaying thrown in.
--Character ideas/info
Right now I just have the one character -- Rinha'li Dhavha, a Keeper miqo'te. I'm still bouncing around specifics in my head for backstory and the like, especially as I learn more about the world, but the general idea for Rin is that he's an eccentric scholar whose odd habits, peculiar interests, and poor constitution made him kind of the black sheep of his family. He traveled a bit trying to be useful for the matriarch of his clan, but was waylaid by pirates who thought for sure they could get someone to pay for the safe return of this obviously learned young man...only to find that Rinha'li's family wasn't willing to pony up the ransom.
One way or another he managed to come out of the ordeal alive, but now he's stranded in Limsa Lominsa and is trying his hardest to adapt to life on the rough-and-tumble streets of Limsa. He earns money as a scribe and runs odd jobs for the Arcanist's Guild in exchange for library access. He's cautious, shy, and has a tendency to ramble on when nervous, which is almost always. He also suffers from chronic insomnia and can frequently be found wide awake during the middle of the day, unusual for a Keeper of the Moon.
He has an interest in arcanima but I haven't decided what he's actually capable of IC.
--How did you learn about the coalition?
My friend who got me into the game pointed me here when I asked if there was an RP server, haha. He's not an RPer himself, unfortunately, but that was pretty helpful of him.
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
I can't get on the game often enough to be anything more than medium, I think. I'm also only about level 25 (in three classes, admittedly...>_>
so I'll be splitting my time between RP and leveling. I like both casual and storyline-focused RP, and I really like helping with planning out storylines, actually.
--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc)
I'm 27 years old, female, living in midwest USA. You can call me by my character name, or Jack (which is what I go by on other parts of the internet). I'm trained as a librarian, currently working in a bookstore and doing freelance editing until I can land a Real Job ™. My big hobbies aside from tabletop RP are writing, fencing, drawing, sewing, and spending a lot of time on the internet. I don't actually play that many MMOs but I really like Pokemon and fighting games :V I'm a big fan of horror movies and I own a white rabbit named Gilbert.
If you see me, feel free to say hi IC! I don't typically wander around IC on MMOs, but I'm usually more than willing to drop into character and chat a bit.
...this came out way wordier and longer than I intended D: /hides
