Hey guys! I just wanted to say thanks for having me, but I'm not sure if my idea on how Seto would fit into the tribes history now since things have changed OOC. My partner isn't going to play his brother now, and where as I liked the idea of a link to the tribe due to his brother's history, it may just be too confusing to set up now. I'm going to bow out, but I do hope to meet you guys in the game and see how things turn out for you all! I'll still be watching as I think you guys have a really good idea! (Didn't want to leave the chat as you guys are all pretty decent to talk/listen to but didn't want to confuse things. ><)

Welcome to the RPC! No need to applogise, and introduction is an introduction, no matter how long or short. Hope you have fun! :3

Read this at work on my phone. Thanks for compiling all this together. Must say though I am SUPER excited for the Housing! I want to build one of those beds in my own bedroom!

I very much agree with this comment. I'd haord it. Like a treasure. Never to be opened. Just there to say "I have it". But yes, I can understand that it could be use in lore to help people change their 1.0 characters. Will it be a wish for such item? Will it be an accidental drink? The amount of different possible reasons could be humorous.

I'll be honest, I have seen it being mentioned in other sites, including non-gaming ones, which make a bit of a deal over it. (the one I remember was this article). The impression I got (before I read this post) is that Square is doing it so it doesn't cause upset to a majority of it's fanbase and also not to cause an attacks or trolling towards any gay characters in the game. Where as people don't go rushing into a MMO screaming "I'M GAY I'M GAY!" I would imagine that a small few may advertise a marriage like I have seen hetrosexual couples do like in comment boxes or with matching rings inscribed with a name or something. I got the impression (which I may be wrong) that the careful decision was how to impliment it in a way that is fair without causing some backlash or uproar in a negaive way towards other players, wither gay or straight. Personally, when I played FFXI I never once considered a gay marriage option for my character. I also personally don't beleive in gay marriage (don't hate me ><) but I appreciate each to their own values and beliefs. But if I found a reason to do it, wither as a standard or roleplay character, I would rather wait for the said decision and time to support it, even if it takes a while. EDIT: In light of a recent comment by another user about my feeling on gay marriage, I would like to make it clear I am not trying to offend anyone, plus my opinion is my opinion. I would not judge anyone who felt differently and expect the same from them. I am a gay man myself and have my own beliefs but would happily support anyone wanting to be in a same sex marriage.

I second this request. This is an excellent post! Totally agreed with the above post. If not stickied, at least added to the RP handbook or a links list with a q&a section or something to help people locate it easily. Well done and thank you Aysun for posting this out there!

Once again, nice work. I love how well you capture each one. I also like how you draw his wears and give them their texture (is trying to learn to draw/color so I jsut like to take down ideas and learn from them).

Wow, that's certainly... old school. And interesting. Might need to keep my eye on it. Thanks for sharing! :3

Welcome to the RPC! I hope you have fun when when your time allows you. I can understand how being a parent can take up time but I'm sure when you have some free minutes to yourself you'll be on here getting yourself all prepared for launch. Have fun

Welcome to the RPC! Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find your RP legs soon. There are a lot of helpful posts to help you get started, and there's even a mentor program if you feel you may need more help. But I hope you have fun and enjoy your stay.

Welcome to the RPC! If you need any help, wither it be on the Lore or need some feedback on character details or that, just ask. We're all super friendly. :3

That's some nice work! *prints out and pinups* That's what it's emant for, right?

I ate them all :> NNNNNNNNNUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ;_;

I myself don't like pb&j. However, I can has some of the homemade chocolate chip waffles? *grabbyhands*

I just want to say, the presentation of this with the letter and the typing and the stamp? Very well done. It really is an eye catcher!

Thank you! It's really comforting to have a second opinion on the back story and I really appreciate your comments. I didn't want to make his background too complex but I am glad it is still able to be followed well. Whereas I like the character to be interesting, I didn't want it to be too over the top. I understand what you mean about the Retcon. Yes there will be minor edits to fit in with a few things. I've been considering either in join in the Hipparion which has been forming on this forum or wither he still leaves but either his (or his brother's) is somehow entwined in their history, even if it's a minor part. I hope to interact with your character someday and you can get to meet my wee fella someday in the game and experience his inquisitive nature. Thanks for the feedback. I have actually been discussing this tonight with my friends. What we had come up with is that Seto, when leaving the tribe (should this still happen) had been watching the other races, especially the Hyur. He doesn't understand the naming convention but notices they all have individual last names. I believe he changes it to be more individual and accessible to the other races. I thought about being opposed to tribal culture as that's what his brother attempted to teach him, but I also didn’t want him to have the same feelings as Hikaru so I decided to rule that out. I think once I figure out in the upcoming days to his current history I'll be able to make a final decision on that. But you have given me some ideas. I really like the last one about his last name representing individuality instead of the use of Tia. And in regards to Callipygian's thread, I didn't mean to make it sound like I would follow it as Lore, but it gave me food for thought. When I meant answer my questions, I meant that maybe someone suggested this type of thing and then there was a discussion if users felt such a subject was feasible. I understand these are not Lore setters and just theories, but those same theories, like the ones in this thread, help us to find someone that could be realistic to a user base, even if it's not everyone. I had not remembered this on my first reading! Thanks for pointing it out. I remember reading the nunhs are not leaders but I didn’t realize I had made that mistaken, evne when reading my back-story. I been reworking the history any way so in Seto's events, I have not mentioned this in the history section. As I am unaware if my boyfriend will still play Hikaru or if he will end up as a NPC or fade away in nothing, that's for my boyfriend and I to figure out. But once Seto's history is corrected, I will make the necessary adjustments to reflect this in Hikaru's. Thank you again for pointing it out. Thank you guys for your feedback, I really appreciate all the help. :3

I've been reading over the RP handbook and rethinking my chara cter background and I have come to a point I worry about either my character background breaking Lore (retconning got me worried, LOL) or not fitting in with Lore. Where as I read and understand that there is an acceptable amount of Lore than can be manipulated, I guess I'm worried about "how much is too much". Someone once offered me a soundboard to bounce ideas off. I guess I'm asking for that now. When I first created my character, Seto, I made a story line that didn't really fit into Lore in some areas, I was so excited about roleplaying I just wanted to make a character. But as I read more and more, I see what I have broken some rules so I have started to rewrite his history and character details. My boyfriend was going to roleplay as his brother but he has thrown a spanner into the works after I showed him an "attractive" Highlander Hyur model. Seto's story ties in with his brother's storyline. And his brother's storyline is where I feel Lore is fuzzy (unless it's something I haven't found yet). The story was that his brother Hikaru (not his birthname) and mother were banished from one tribe (either Hipparion or Gigantoad, to be decided) after he brought shame to them. He had began to challenge the teachings of his tribe/race but made no mention to what he was told or what he based his challenges on. Due to the upraor he caused and his challenges of imperfection in the religious beliefs, him and his mother were banished from the tribe. They are later picked Even though word had got around of Hikaru's lack of faith, the nunh of a small newly-formed branch of the Vulture tribe took pity on them and allowed him and his mother to become part of their tribe on the promise that Hikaru would work hard and earn his position. During the first few years, Hikaru kept quiet about his past rantings in not to shame is mother. Many members of the tribe didn't trust him so he spent a lot of time on his own away from them. I am unsure if such a thing would happen. I hoped Callipygian amazingly detailed look into the mating strategies may have answered the questions but again unless I have missed it scouring through the posts I am unaware if this topic has been discussed. I guess, this is really my first major roleplay game. I did it on FFXI but it was very small and nowhere on the grand scale to being on an RP-set server. I want to make the character interesting and exciting without being wildly out of sync with the lore and story. EDIT: I should also add that Seto has seperated from his tribe, most likely due to personal choice or could be an important event, hence his last name not being Tia any more. Again, would this be possible or would it seem out of context? Any advice, discussion, helpful suggestion, anything is appeciated. :3 (Sorry for any mis-spelling. The heat here in the UK tonight is unbarable. ;_

I'm not sure how I feel. My mother is on board as he is "another fellow scotsman" but I'm all... meh. He's no Matt Smith for me. Words from mother: "Let's just waint and see how it transpires." A female Doctor would have been pretty interesting tho. :3
