So... hello there!  I am still somewhat boggling at this perfect little slice of heaven that the interweb gods deigned to lay before me.  I started out an hour or so ago looking up naming conventions to help ground some lore stuff in a fic I am writing (based on and inspired by the members of the light-rp-optional FC I lead on Brynhildr), and somehow or other, I ended up tripping over a Hellsguard botanist and sneezing a Dunesfolk warrior off of Highbridge and boom (headshot!), I was here.  Damnable Miqo'te at the Bismark, must've put somethin' funky in me porri—
Anyroad holy WOW, what a place. Â Disclaimer: Â I didn't even know there were official rp servers or what have you. Â I didn't think in-game rp was really that big of a thing, but full disclosure: Â FFXIV is the first MMORPG I have really immersed myself in. Â I tinkered on WoW and Aion back in the day but never got into them at all. Â Never had any means to play XI when it came out, but have been an avid FF freak since... gods, forever. Â Add to that the fact that I have been roleplaying in various other settings (almost strictly forum-based, mind you), and you have an equation that basically equals one severely depraved RPer/FF fanboy who needs to make his two loves meet.
Which apparently they do really well on this site... and on servers I don't belong to (yet) in-game. Â Hmmmm...
So yeah, hi.  I am kind of super excited to be here.  And I kind of want to just kersplode in moogle dances and tonberry twirls and generally discombobulate until my repressed character ideas and storylines just sort of swallow up the continent of Aldenard and E-Sumi-Yan confesses his undying love to me and—
Dear heavens but I am getting carried away. Â
tl;dr—HI LET ME LOVE YOU!  
Also, if you need a name to call me besides Totoroki (a character I am whisking into existence for this site/soon Gilgamesh activity, I hope), go with Thatch or Thatcher. Â I have grown accustomed to the members of my FC calling me that since it is the name and nickname of my Main there. Â So, yeah. Â And uhhhhhh random fun facts because everyone likes those... I am a (semi)professional musician (a significant portion of my income comes from music stuff, so yeah), I have the best boyfriend in the world (also a gaymer and an even more avid RPer than I could ever be, who will probably show his face around here soon too), and I speak more than one language.
Preemptive thank for letting me place a chunk of my strange little existence here.
Que se passe-t-il, yo. >3
EDIT: Yes I already changed my username. I decided to go with my Dunesfolk character instead because tiny Lalafell black mages are really just so much cooler than everything.
 And I hear Gilgamesh as a close-knit community over there, so I hope you have plenty of fun!  FF is also my first time RPing in an MMORPG.  Something about this game just lends itself to immersion!  And this great community of RPers! (and I can put more exclamation points into this post!  Watch!)
