Greetings and salutations mates! You can call me Fancy Pants for the time being, while I hang out around this neck of the woods. As something to note about me - I'm a goof and I like the word fancy. Actually I have a few favorite words, but lets not get into that just now . Let's see about me...about me... hmmmmm. Well I'm a long time roleplayer starting out when I was very young with my imagination pretending to be an owl or some kind of dinosaur or other animal and I just never really stopped. To everyone's surprise I was never in drama, but I was in chorus until my voice started breaking, if that helps meet the cliche niches of the school yard.Â
As for MMO's I first got into the genre in Final Fantasy XI in Vana'diel and that's actually where I learned about roleplaying as well. I was a kid at the time and I started hanging out with a friend who played a galka there and was taught the ropes. Good times! Roamed around as a hume warrior there and got my feet wet and eventually turned into a paladin knight and then a corsair at the end. And from there I spread out amongst other MMORPG's, but above all the one I champion above all else and compare future games to is SWG (Star Wars Galaxies). There I dove completely into the rp scene and the star wars universe and even got my hands dirty with leading a guild. When SWG was shut down I tried along with the others to bring the community into TOR, but the huge culture shock and the home sickness of losing it all in SWG just crushed any hope of that and we drifted apart sadly. But I hadn't stopped roleplaying in some form or another. In fact it's kind of a criteria for me to get into an MMO that I must be willing to roleplay in it. I've collected many memories in all this time and I hold 'em precious whether they're from the face-palming time of my origins in the rp realm or some of my latest adventures - I wear a smile where ever I go.
Now what brings me to Final Fantasy XIV? Simple! I really miss raising a chocobo and I have been very nostalgic for the old stomping grounds, so to speak. Granted 14 is pretty darn different from 11, for instance the eidolons/primals in this game are apparently evil... well not evil, but they do leech off aether from the planet which I guess is killing Hydaelyn which is a huuuuge bummer. Plus I have some friends that talk about 14 quite a bit and I'm curious :3.
As for my character - I've yet to really decide what I'll be playing, but Im bouncing between elezen and the roegadyn races as my main (would've done Au Ra, but they just aren't beastial enough for my taste ). I think I'd like to be a dragoon. Granted they may not have the wyvern (wyrm) pet from 11, but the class still has its appeal to me and I always wanted to be one. How's the class these days? I also like the dark knight job and even the old paladin as well .Â
Now with all that I do bear some bad news. Ya won't see me for like a year in game because Im stepping into the US Air Force around February and need the time to train and get myself settled in the lifestyle. But still when I do jump in I'll do a little dance and begin my journey exploring the game.
