With the whole idea of Raul being homage to the story of Joseph Bugman, master Dwarven Brewer of the Warhammer Fantasy world, I always pictured him as... Scottish. Or at least Cockney. Then I started playing Total War:Warhammer, and met Thorgrim Grudgebearer, High king of the Dwarves in that setting - And that right there told me exactly what Raul should sound like.

Character name: Raul Bugman, the most Scottish highlander you'll ever meet! Time zone: GMT+0 - I live a mile.or two from Greenwich park. Time for availability varies depending on day, and what's going on (Tuesdays are usually good though) Location: Gridania (New), for now Style: Adventure! Raul is just a tall dwarf looking to kill some monsters. Spirit: Mostly light-hearted. Tone: Light like a crackling fire. Anything specific you might want: Fun! Go crazy (if that's your thing!). Just to note, Raul hates Garleans, a lot.

I've sent a friend request on Discord~

That was sorta the intention. The whole idea is based on, and homage to, Joseph Bugman, one of the first named characters in Warhammer ever. And with so few people playing the game, I doubt most will notice the reference.

Hey there! I wanted to ask how old your character, just to work out how they would fit into my character's timeline. Raul Bugman (My character) is a short but stocky Highlander - I wanted to make him a proper dwarf but Lalafell didn't work. His father owned a famous brewery (Bugman's Brewery) in the mountains around Ala Mhigo before the Garlean invasion (20 years prior to the game), but he.managed to salvage some.of the business and now produces at a much reduced rate in Limsa Lominsa. Maybe they've acquired her services at some point? I'm still fairly new to the game myself, so most of Raul's backstory isn't fleshed out yet. What do you think? acquired

Sweet guys, thanks for your help. I fixed it! And also transferred my character to Balmung. So I can finally join in with he fun!

Huh, that sounds like a good idea. I'll try it.

Steam, and I think it's an EU account.

When I get to the payment options, the website doesn't recognise my postcode - how do I pay if it doesn't like where I live? (Just note that I live in London, England. Maybe that has something to do with it?)

Sweet, thanks man!

While he's technically a local, he's more a child.of Eorzea rather than just one city-state.

So cool....

I made a post a yesterday morning, Thunderbolt300. Can you go over that and comment on it please? Also, how did you make that picture in your signature?

In the end, their regular trips to other city states is probably what saved them from the Garlean invasion, around twenty years prior to today. The Bugman family were in Limsa Lominsa at the time of the invasion, delivering their stock in person to the Admiral of the city at the time. About two days after they landed, they received news that Ala Mhigo was under attack, and that Bugman's brewery was raided when the Garlean forces sacked the lands around the city-state. It was that day that Josef's family first saw the man truly angry - the brewery had been his grandfathers life's work, and he had intended to give the business away to his eldest when he felt he was too old to manage he business. But that was not to be. Since then, Lily has borne two more children, a pair of female twins, but much of Raul's life has since been dedicated to training his body and mind to fight the Garlean invaders, and to reclaim the land that was once his birthright.

Backstory: The Bugman family was once famed throughout Eorzea for their skill at brewing - Casks of fine ale marked with 'Bugman's XXXXXX' were hauled by land, sea, and air to all the city-states of the land, and when the rich and powerful showed off their wealth and influence at a luxurious party, Bugman's finest ale always took a place of honour. The stout (In more ways than one) and bearded patron of the family, Josef Bugman, was often out, dining with wealthy merchants after personally delivering them a batch of his famous hand-brewed ale from his brewery in the mountains to the west of Ala Mhigo. Of course, with him he always brought his dear wife, a midlander by the name of Lily, and his young son, Raul. While Josef was well travelled by the boy's birth, both his wife and his only child were in awe of the many different cities around Eorzea, and delighted in seeing the sights in person (Despite Lily's family working as tailors in Ul'dah, she had seen little outside the city).

So, I'm working on the backstory to my first character in FFXIV. He is a short Hyurian Highlander, if tht isn't made clear in the backstory below. Any suggestions on ways to improve the story are welcome - I probably needs changing a little to fit with the canon storyline.

KWEH! Thank you~

Some are simply exploring. Greetings to you, fair members of the RPC! While the last proper MMORPG i played was the early ESO, I do also RP on Reddit, and I play D&D semi regularly with a variety of characters. I'm also very new to the FF14 scene, and would like some help with the first character I'm creating... Making his backstory work with the lore, and all that jazz. All I really know about the character is that he's male and a member of the Lancer's Guild... Thank you, in advance, to anyone who helps with this.
