Hello! I'm brand new to FFXIV and pretty excited to be here. I don't know too much about the lore yet, but I'm reading wikis and trying to listen in on RP when I find it for tips. I'm really hoping to find a Linkshell where I can meet some people and make a few friends. Along with a lot of RP fun. I'm happy to talk or answer any questions, and I'm sure I could ask a ton of my own too.
My character is "Iron Lily" on the Balmung server if you'd like to say hello in person!
--MMORPG background
I got started way back in Star Wars Galaxies, and from there moved to FFXI not long after it came out. After that I tried City of Heroes for a while and then settled into WoW for a very long time. Over the years though I would try out other MMOs, at least for a little while. I left WoW and continued to hunt for another home, but I seemed to have some back luck with the games or RP communities moving on. Then I saw FFXIV and it is going strong, so I jumped in!
--RP experience
I started RPing not long after the launch of City of Heroes. So that is like.. almost 10 years? ...I feel so old now. On the bright side I feel like I've learned a lot from better RPers than myself over that time.
--Character ideas/info
I don't know too very much about the lore, but from what I have learned my idea is that my character, is a bodyguard/mercenary who has spent most of her life in Ul'dah. I'm not a fan of giving my characters dramatic backstories or anything beyond what is typical for the lore. I prefer to try to help other stories along and use those experiences to develop my own character, when appropriate. Her personality will probably be quiet and thoughtful. With her being practical and honest. At the moment she is a Lancer. It seemed like a good option for a new player. Eventually I'd like to try Marauder and Gladiator.
--How did you learn about the coalition? I was googling around for FFXIV RP and came across a link to the board in a post on Gamefaq's, I think?
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy? I'd like to be medium to heavy. I do enjoy playing the game, leveling classes and seeing what the game has to offer but my endgame in the past has been more about RP and friends than raids and progression.
--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc) I have a pretty regular schedule. When not taking care of real life stuff I mostly play in the evenings and weekends due to work. I'm not in school. I'm in Graphics, but not much of an artist myself. My hobbies are usually RP and trying to learn a new skill. Piano, programming, and 3d modeling are what most of my free time goes towards at the moment.
