I just found your site recently and being a new FFXIV, I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm looking forward to meeting new people here and jumping into the roleplay with you all. I'm unsure of which server to start on, so I made a version of Arenswys on both Balmung and Gilgamesh. I guess it will depend on where I find the roleplay. Anywho! Here's a bit about me! Enjoy!
--MMORPG background - I've played many an MMO over the last 12 years and roleplayed through each them, starting with EQ1. A few of the titles I have played are EQ1 & 2, Guild Wars 1 & 2, WoW, Rift and several others. As far as Final Fantasy goes, while I admit I haven't played every title I have played a few of them, including FFXI.
--RP experience - My first mmo roleplay experience was in EQ1. I enjoyed the game and the guild I was a part of, but I started to grow bored. That is when I noticed there was roleplay server. Having roleplayed in several text based games, I was no stranger to roleplaying, so I thought I'd give it one more chance. I was instantly addicted. It was a perfect blending of two things I enjoyed. I wouldn't play a MMO any other way now. When I create a character, I'm usually thinking about their background while on the character creation screen. Â
--Character ideas/info - I'm still pretty new to the FFXIV lore, but I'm learning. I enjoy the lore in games and tend to absorb it like a sponge. I've decide to start out with a female Roegadyn, as there seems to be a distinct lack of them. What can I say, I enjoy playing the less popular combinations. She is a Sea Wolf living in Limsa Lominsa. I'm still fleshing out her background and welcome any help with lore or roleplay in general. I'm open to family relations as well, so if there is anyone that might want a sister, cousin, aunt, etc. feel free to contact me.
--How did you learn about the coalition? - By doing a search for "roleplay" and "FFXIV". You all were at the top of the list.
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy? - I am a heavy roleplayer and enjoy doing most things, including hunting, in character. Most groups I have been in though like to keep things ooc when hunting and I am cool with that. I'm pretty easy going in that regard. These games are about having fun after all.Â
--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc) - I'm currently a stay at home mom taking care of a preschooler. She takes up quite a bit of my daytime hours, but I still get a chance to get online sporadically (ie. nap times, etc.). I also have 2 teenage boys. Being a mom of 2 boys and a gamer, I know more than I probably want to know about Pokemon, Digimon, Dragonballz, etc.
 I enjoy drawing, though I am very rusty. I enjoy writing, though I am my own worse critic. I'm pretty easy to get along with and enjoy meeting new people. I can sometimes be a bit shy about breaking the ice initially, but once I get going the shyness instantly goes away. I enjoy helping people, both in real life and in MMO's. I love the fantasy genre as well as scifi. My favorite movie is Princess Bride...
...I should probably stop now or you'll know my whole life story.Â
