Siren makes zombies. Not transsexuals.

As I stated... I Don't know all the lore on the mobs of the ff world... I was asking thoughts no need ta be rude about it =\

Jom - yeah well...i've learned to get along with a number of different peoples thoughts on lore an what they do character wise. They won't be getting an argument from me. They can rave as they wish. I look at things this way: if they don't break lore or make some god like character then let people enjoy how they spend their time.

Ildur - actually... Now that you mentioned BG I remember that plot >-< im not sure I expected a huge drawn out story from this as far as how it happened but that is a viable way to go. Lucky me I dont recall any actions that should need recon'ing if I went the other route either. The character stayed to himself/work mostly.

As far as how quick... They dont even have name change in the game yet so I was waiting till then to get my husband to stop bugging me to use the vial to changr the character. A ic name change or slight alter is the least of my worries though ^^;

I wasn't trying to be rude about it, though :/

Sorry~!

Rosekitten · **12-04-2013, 03:56 PM**

Oh well it sounded a bit rude >-<; I know the Siren in the fight had skeles but I've no idea on the primal's abilities past the songs and such *not hugely into monster lore.. should probably fix that*

Edgar suffers from Terrible Text Tone ™, which is something I am also guilty of at times. Â Big Grin

Rosekitten · **12-04-2013, 04:37 PM**

^^; understandable. I go through it at times though i normally catch it myself and try to rephrase my wording of things *and probably still fail to some*

Least as far as the reason I made this thread it seems I might have a while still with no official word on when name changes will happen. ^^; probably a good thing cause there are a few things going on that I don't really want to just up and drop out of due to having to do this.

~also for those who are confused why im still on the fence its because this would be a huge change to the character but at the same time being married to a non rp'er isn't the easiest task and being bothered as to when i'll gender switch my character is annoying me thus why I even agreed to doing this whenever name changes are released..~Â

though asking my husband he said just kill the character make it female and make a new rp alt.. *because i want to level from 1-50 all over again on a fresh character*

As far as the change potions being lore or not... I have come to terms that any item in the game is somehow lore. Like i've seen some pull in the lightening event weapons as lore or something to do with their characters.

I dont see why they couldn't be lore really, there is magic and alchemist in this world so whos to say someone didn't make such a mixture? I ask on the lore forums about it being lore or not but I doubt it would be answered xP

I find the 'if it's in the game, it has to be lore,' argument very compelling, since FFIV:ARR was in no way, shape, or form made for rp. It is not dungeons & dragons, nor pathfinder, nor even a world like that of Dragon Age, where everything was created with the express purpose of building upon the world's lore.

Fantasia is a utility item, created specifically for players unhappy with their characters appearance. It makes me wonder how people would rp such utility items such as name change or server change vouchers...

...all of which is horribly off-topic. I like the idea of your character was dressed up like a guy this whole time. But since that doesn't seem to fit your character, I guess a potion of some sort is the next best thing. I'm not sure about the gods being the cause, as they seem pretty uninvolved in matters.

Maybe your character was dressed as a male this entire time to hide from an old enemy that is hunting her?

A name change is the easiest thing to roleplay. "From now on, I shall be named...Alex Action!" And you are done. You don't even need a name voucher to change your name in-character.

The reason we identify Fantasia as an actually canonical item is that Squee gave it an lore-friendly description. Why bother to do that if it is not part of the world?

Dungeons and Dragons has plenty of items that make no sense. Like any cursed item "I'm going to put part of my soul into making this item to fuck with adventurers later!"

But that's off topic its not so much as Fantasia is in game therefore it must exist but rather they provide an in universe explanation for it. Contrast this with the same setup in Wow which has no such item and is treated entirely as a game mechanic.

If Nameway cards were introduced I would treat them as changing one's name with the Adventurer's guild for example.

I was just stating my thoughts on items in the game, all seem to have a description so it makes me think there is some sort of lore (sens-worthy or not) behind it. Not saying I agree with all items in game but still. We are talking of a game where I take a axe to a tree and get bugs from it >_<

On the note of my plans at the present with this.. I was thinking of the mentioned way where a item might have some effect if touched but I need to think on a lot of details to make that lore friendly on its own and not just something made up from thin air.

I have honestly been thinking on the dressed as a guy option as well because it seems to be the one that requires the least amount of work on my end and would be a heck of a lot less traumatizing on the character itself. It would also half explain the height of the character if it were actually female all this time as well. My issue now if how to pull it off and why they needed to hide for ... well the past like x amount of years as a male.Â

sure i could go the route of needing to hide from someone but that seems common and over used.. but i still have time anyway because at the least i was thinking on changing the first name a bit if they give us the option.
