I. Basic Info

II. RP Style

Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy):
Medium, I'd say. I love RPing as much as I love tackling the PvE content, I just wish I could get at the former more often. Always open to walk-ups, provided I'm not spastically jumping around like a moron at the time. Would love to get into more linkshells and group activities, hence signing up here.

Views on RP combat and injuries:
Gonna preface this by saying that any dice-rolling for combat, outside of your standard tabletop players-and-dungeon-master setup, irks the hell out of me. If there's no DM involved to mediate, the participants better be in /tell agreeing on what should happen. Audience gets a show and all participants walk away satisfied, instead of someone possibly feeling cheated by blind luck. Exceptions go to certain events, I suppose, as certain formats demand dice rolls for a fair, if blind, outcome.

Injuries are fair game, so long as they'll heal in a reasonable amount of time. In my opinion, anything that might debilitate or otherwise hamper someone's ability to RP should never happen to someone without their explicit consent. That's how I like to be treated and how I treat others.

Views on IC romance:
If it works, it works. Forcing it is bad, but imo being completely averse to it closes off so many avenues of storytelling. Keep it IC, of course. None of this ought to cross over into real life.

Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc):
Family ties? Anything that impacts someone else's character in a significant way? Get permission first, is the motto I live by. So don't walk on up pretending to be my lost-long uncle who just needs a quick loan of 100k gil. D:<

Views on lore:
Look up what you can, try and do your best to stick to what's established, etc. Try not to be a total dunce by claiming you saw an elephant (does FFXIV even have elephants? brb looking that up).

Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc):
/em, /say, and /linkshells are fair game for RP, imo. /shout ought to be reserved for OoC, considering we have /yell. Exceptions for events like chocobo races, of course. /party is game if everyone IN party is game. And for heaven's sake, let's keep any ERP to /tells, people. No one should have to walk by and see you feeling someone up in /say or /em.
