Hello - Rand - 12-10-2013
--MMORPG background
So this is the first MMORPG I've ever jumped into mainly because of my love for the FF series in general and because I was never able to play FF 11.Â
--RP experience
I've played numerous table top RPG's as well as dedicated my high school years to playing in the Star Wars Combine site.Â
--Character ideas/info
I don't know yet on what direction I want to take my character but maybe some sort of pirate. IDK.Â
--How did you learn about the coalition?
On Google looking for an RP community to joinÂ
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
I think medium or heavy.Â
--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc)
Like I said I am new to the MMORPG world so I don't have that much to talk about there. Things about my real life that are interesting... Well I am an AFROTC cadet majoring in Computer Engineering and one two trimesters away from graduation. Besides video gaming my other hobbies would be playing guitar and running.

Hey there!
I'm the leader of a Free Company named The Hungry Wolf, and we're trying to recruit some members. We're small, and totally willing to help you get a feel for your character if you aren't quite sure what you want to do with him yet. If you're interested, PM me here, send me a tell in game (either on Shizu Ayana or Firo Elburn) or check out our site, which would be hungrywolfacademy.enjin.com.
Like I said, we're always looking for new people, so drop by!

Hello Rand, and welcome to the RPC,
Pirate eh? there are a few groups out there who might suit your tastes, as Shizu said The Hungry Wolf, there is also the "Black Lotus Cartel." Maybe take a look at the forums and linkshell hall for a few more.. In the mean time! I have a few links to share with you. Ordinarily they are scattered around the site, but I think it can help to know there are a few key ones in a sea of information to latch on to when you start.
Anyways! Here is a link to the offical RPC welcome post, you may have already clicked on it on the front page, it outlines the history of the RPC as well as covers a few of the main tools here.

Since this is your first MMO I highly recommend taking a look at this RP Handbook put together by Eva, A bit daunting at first glance, it is broken down into sections that I think should make it a bit easier to get through. Many of the ideas put forward should serve to create a solid foundation for your experiences here and down the road.

We have a couple groups here that serve to help people get together listed under the linkshell hall. Two notable ones are "Intermission"

An OOC linkshell hub for roleplayers of all types, just helping to get people talking and all that jazz.

"Balmungs Finest" is all about grouping up to tackle content, from Satascha, to Titan, if its group based, chances are you'll find people here willing to tag along.
Hopefully that helps you get a better idea of who you might run into out in the wide world. Perhaps most importantly is knowing that the RPC was started by roleplayers, for roleplayers, you are free to ask questions, make comments, raise concerns and everything in between, both here in the forums or shoot some one a PM!
Best of luck in Eorzea, and take care out there.
