I've been floating around here and doing some posting the last few days, and admittedly have been aware of the site for quite awhile, now, but only am just now seeing sit to properly say hello, and such. So ~ Hello, and such!
The fancy tagline of a subject is the Search Comment for my Sellsword-Pugilist character, Tsukiko Yukimura, and seems like a great way to break the ice (and faces?) to say hello to everyone. I used to be a pretty heavy roleplayer many many years ago back to the age old days of AOL and chat rooms, and eventually gravitated (and graduated?) my way toward online games starting with Star Wars Galaxies and into many more modern titles, including many which are now lost to us like Tabula Rasa, City of Heroes (though I did not play must past the few year and the occasional stop in each major update), and the like.
Now a days, I admittedly find myself playing more for the sake of playing, doing less actual roleplaying that I would have liked. Part of it is being shy, part of it is ridiculous sleeping and play times, and part of it, I think, is from just being burned out from trying to find roleplay and just having people drift off to other games or other things.
I'd like to try to make the most of my time in FFXIV, with plans to stick around for quite a while, assuming real life doesn't intervene, so I'm giving the whole 'get involved with a community' effort another chance and making myself known and subject to all the trial and tribulations of being social~! Don't disappoint me, as I expect to see and hear from all sorts of people from the fun and crazy, and look forward to getting to know you all!
Edit: Because I totally forgot to mention it the first time; I play on Balmung!
I play a wide variety of characters, largely because my attention span with characters requires me to have diversity, but my main character is Tsukiko Yukimura, a Hyur pugilist woman who is not adverse to punching you in the face if you do something to slight her, but is generally an energetic and free spirited sort.
I've also got a scholarly ecletic Elezen Cadence Vairement, son of a disgraced Dragoon (he fled the Ishgardian war) and a Pirate (she was a free spirit who didn't want to be tied down) who now studies the wonders and mysteries of the Twelve and the Primals, studying on the theory (blasphemed as it may be) that the Twelve are naught more than the same as the Primals.
I have my Lalafell, Eiroya Duroya, an Ul'dahn native who is a lowly recruit of the Brass Blades that longs to escape what has slowly become a corrupt and lax institution and join the Sultansworn in order to better serve his home.
And finally, Styrgeim Swarhaerzwyn, "The Blood Rose", a mercenary who is known to be rather violent in her resolution of her work contracts. Though not excessively violent, she has a tendency to run her mouth off and get into trouble and does have a tendency to stab-first-and-ask-later for the more volatile contracts that tend to drift her way. She is the daughter of Black Heart, a Sea Wolf Pirate who was known for being especially blood thirsty and unforgiving in his youth, killing anyone who crossed his path and taking no prisoners in his lust for fame and power. Though certainly not the most famous pirate, his poor reputation does have a tendency to catch up with Styrgeim.
