Hello everyone! Not necessarily new to FFXIV (been playing on and off since 1.0) but definitely new to the FFXIV RPcommunity. Currently playing on Balmung, and finally mustering up the courage to immerse myself in RP for this game!
--MMORPG background
My MMORPG background isn’t as extensive as others on here (Ilike choosing one game and sticking to it). That being said I have played GW2 and of course WoW since the BC days, I’ve dabbled a little into SWTOR, but the graphics really put me off, and like I said above I’ve played FFXIV back in the 1.0 days, but that was only a couple of months before they shut the servers down so I couldn’t very well integrate myself into the community as I would have liked
--RP experience
Been RPing for about five years now I think, almostexclusively on WoW
--Character ideas/info
Elros Ama’yeth is a 20 year old Hyur/Miqo’te mix, the resultof a drunken assault on a Miqo’te dancer. Elros was born on the 1st sun of the 6th umbral moon. Growing up Elros had a difficult childhood because of his mixed lineage, not being able to identify with either of his cultures left him with a feeling of loneliness and undesirability which in turn caused him to lash out to those close to him; mainly his mother. These unresolved issues manifested themselves in his adulthood as borderline personality disorder (he’s not crazy for those who don’t know what BPD is), random bouts of melancholia, and slight social anxiety. Those that meet Elros generally don’t have a clue to his dysphoria, as he attempts to present himself as a confident, cheerful, wise cracking, and somewhat vain man. At age 15 after an argument with his mother over his sexuality Elros chose to leave the hot sands of Thanalan that he loathed, and move to the more picturesque forests of the Black Shroud where he worked odd jobs in order to get by. At the age of 18 the lack of money was so severe it led Elros to take up his bow and join a band of mercenaries. Albeit this arrangement didn’t last long, the abuse he faced by the other members, and the encroachment of imperial soldiers in the Twelveswood fueled Elros to leave the gang and offer his services to the city-state of Gridania. Elros would eventually participate in the Battle of Carteneau at age 20 and be one of the many adventures sent forward in time by Louisoix’s magicks; although he has no recollection of this, his lastmemory being of a chigoe population threat he was tasked to curb. ((A couple of loose ends I need to tie up but that’s the general gist of it))
--How did you learn about the coalition?
Google is probably one of the greatest inventions to humankind
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light,medium, or heavy?
Somewhere between medium and heavy
--Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing?(Work, school, hobbies, etc)
Currently an international relations student, who’s prettymuch obsessed with politics and how the world works
