Well folks, I've gone and done it now. And by "it", I mean "peered beyond Balmung's shroud of mystery and actually made a character here". You hear things, see, as a non-RPer on those other servers. Balmung have a reputation, and it's not all bad.
So I made a catboy, all fresh-faced, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to dive right on in and experience great adventures and epic tales and entirely replaying the MSQ. Thing is though, I have to entirely replay the MSQ am a massive RP scrub. Unless cheesy one-line pretending-you're-an-anime-character 2004-Myspace-era RP counts. And it doesn't.
So I don't really know where to start. Or how in-game RP works. (Custom emotes, maybe? Do your characters just sit there staring at each other while you text-based RP like some bizarre Eorzean Dungeons and Dragons?) I did a fair amount of fiction writing a few years back, so at the very least I can write (but as this intro will soon show you, I have this nasty habit of going off on tangents and just getting generally rambly. I blame my love of Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. Especially Terry Pratchett) and am currently in the process of coming up with a suitable character base for Khiro here, but beyond that I'm a little stumped.
TLDR be gentle, senpais ~ ♡
