This is a very, very belated introductory post. I apologize for that.
Hi! I'm Osric (or Melkire, either way). I've been dying to get into RP more often. Specifically speaking, larger and more intricate D&D-esque plots are something I've been having trouble getting into. Please send help! I promise I don't bite, even if I do roleplay Osric as a bit of an a-hole.
MMORPG Background
Weirdest selection ever. Mostly weird for what's missing rather than what's there:
RuneScape (2003-2005)
Puzzle Pirates
Akanbar (MUD)
E.V.E. (multiple trial sessions)
Ragnarok Online (private hi-rate servers)
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Final Fantasy XIV
...shaddup. /cry
RP Experience
Extensive play-by-post forum roleplay experience (original properties and otherwise).Â
Moderate MUD roleplay experience.Â
Little-to-no roleplay experience in WoW-esque environments (I was on TOR's Ebon Hawk for all of two weeks before moving to Prophecy of the Five).
Character Ideas & Info
Osric's a Limsan-born Hyur midlander who had to flee the city when he ran afoul of the "law" by accidentally breaking the first rule of criminals everywhere: don't get caught. You done goofed, Osric. So he ran to Ul'dah and somehow traded a lifetime of service to the Flames in exchange for political asylum.Â
I'm working on a wiki entry! I figured I'd start with the character history, but it's rapidly grown into a leviathan of a beast, so I figure I'll just leave that section as "work in progress" and get the rest done. Hopefully'll be up this weekend.
How did you learn about the Coalition?
I was getting a little burnt out on the road to level 50, so I decided to try roleplaying. Googled "FFXIV roleplay", found this site, used the LS Directory to find and join a FC I liked, joined the respective server with a new character (Balmung, represent!) and later registered here.Â
What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
Medium-to-heavy, leaning towards the latter. That said, I'm also into endgame PvE; my main PvE toon is actually on Gilgamesh at the moment, so I've kind of limited myself with regards to how much time I can devote to RP. I also PvE with Osric on Balmung, so please hit me up!
Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing?
Twenty-four years old (I'll be twenty-five in a month), born and raised and living in Southern California, currently working 40-hour weeks (Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM PDT).
P.S. If you didn't catch the reference in the title, you need to (re)visit one of the best animated films of all time.
