Yeah by RP group I meant what you said XD, I guess I'd be more comfortable just joining a Free Company, asking someone to RP with me just kinda... makes me feel uncomfortable I haven't got a clue as to why, probably because I haven't done this sort of thing before.Â.
I have a background set out for my character and her brother along with a personality for the two of them, my... plot I guess you could call it isn't really a big thing, the brother has some psychological issues and it's basically the story of the sister (Who I'll make a WHM when I can.) trying to "heal" him. This being set in a world were I don't think much has been done on psychology so it's basically her figuring it all out, so I guess my characters would be in the background to most RPs going on which works in my favour tbh.Â
It's good to know if the situation is a reasonable one then being OOC is acceptable.
I love the Super Saiyan form XD, this is what I was trying to clear up because whilst I understand being a "God" in RP and expecting others to bow to you or whatever if unacceptable, what about "Gods" like Algol from Soul Calibur, he doesn't do anything to the world around him he just observes and he isn't immortal just ageless, he doesn't have much to do with the story-lines at all, are those types of characters also unacceptable? He does do a few things in the later games but because of the story-lines just being arcade mode he doesn't affect more than a few characters at most.
You... you have to have IC clothing and what-not? Well thinking about it it makes sense to me I don't even know how I didn't think of that. You must teach me this ninja-clothes-changing-jutsu you speak of, I like that I can use my character out of RP, it would've probably become annoying if they could only level and things in RP.
Again thanks for the great advice.
I know what you meaaaaan about feeling uncomfortable and shy to get people to RP with you :/ I have a bit of social anxiety so I don't ask very much because I always feel like nobody has time for me. Though, it's even trickier to get people to RP with me because my character doesn't like talking to new people (she's cautious and wary of them) but when someone new talks to me, OOC I'm like "YAAY RP! ..But.. Goddamn my character's personality!" It takes awhile for her to build bridges with people, but I find that's fun
Your background story sounds good so far, though I personally don't know too much about the lore and how to incorporate things. Try reading about FFXIV's wiki - AFAIK WHM's are like.. druids, where they take healing energy from the earth's aether (energy) but can't do it so carelessly, or (in)experienced ones can heal from using their own life force, I think?
Well, as far as the whole 'God-playing' thing... people will tell you you can play whatever the Hell you want which is very true! Play whatever you want, personality, background etc. But just bear in mind that some people take their lore very seriously and will be apprehensive or just won't roleplay with you completely if you're doing something ominpotent like that.
Hehe, IC clothing makes sense! My character doesn't have much money and she has a signature green tabard (that her partner bought for her) so she's seen in that, or her work clothes which is a yellow vest and shorts She wouldn't be able to afford many other clothes, and sometimes some clothes just don't work out for your character's personality, you know? Like if you get some really weird armor that you wouldn't see her get caught wearing even when dead...!
The ninja-clothes-changing jutsu is very easy! When you're in game you have a character panel and you can create 'Gear Sets', and all you need to do is click one button and hey - presto! All your gear is changed with the touch of a button!
As for the whole pregnancy thing, yes! What Amyness said about it being progression: I know someone who OOC will say a month or two = the nine months of Eorzean times IG (timelines is very personal and up to you to decide when this or that happened.)
So, for my character... Amyness is actually my in-game sister. I'll try to explain quickly:
My character came from a rural, shanky middle-of-nowhere secluded village and left recently (In-game time six-seven months ago currently) and I discussed with Amy a quick history of our character's background, where our characters were estranged, but found each other again years, and years later in Ul'dah (one of the cities) and they've been trying to reconnect ever since.
So some brainstorming is needed!
Yeah I'm kind of seen as the do it yourself loner in my family with my two cousins so asking questions is easy but when it comes to asking someone to do something with me I get reaaal awkward fast, I just don't have the experience to feel comfortable.
I think from what I've read whilst WHMs are a combination of ACN and CNJ, they're seen as more of a... evolution of the CNJ class from what I've read. So I'd guess they would basically do what you've said, they use the Earths aether and change it into their desired spell, in-experienced ones that can't tap into the aether end up using their own life-force and they end up slowly killing themselves with every spell they cast.
I wasn't planning on creating God-like beings but I just thought there were... I guess niches to the idea, God-like beings that can still die just like any other person and so on were I guess different enough I just wondered how they would work.
I'm still working out clothing for my characters, I never gave it any thought XD. I kind of skip over the tutorials so I really didn't read about the Gear Sets I must confess, I'll definitely use those when I get the chance.
I'm used to writing stories and what not, I used to do em a lot but my problem was always the timelines and so on, like I'll really want to write a scene between two characters and I'd quickly gloss over some things to get to that point which isn't good story telling, it's like I would leave it barren then something interesting then barren againÂ
.I'll need to work on that for when I try RPing.Â
Thanks for the post!
