Barios

Welcome, welcome! I'm sure you'll fit right in! Everyone is friendly around here and down right helpful. Be sure to ask anything, and never be worried about thinking something might sound silly. Trust me it won't. :lol: Hope you enjoy yourself here! Can't wait to see you out and about!

How would Barios deal with a day off? Oh man...here we go. Being a busy man for his old age, Barios is capable of finding time for himself. Sitting around the market or even out on the field, he'd watch adventurers do their thing. Shop, fight, talk. Taking in all he sees or even hears. He'd probably dress himself up as a common farmer to fit in and not draw too much attention. Most likely though he'll fall asleep with his eyes open, looking at a single person. Maximum amount of creepy engaged. Unless they come up to him asking what he is looking at. Going to be awkward for everyone involved.

Definitely nothing in the fine print that requires you to give up your soul - nope absolutely not > >... I kid! Hello and welcome~! Hnn Mediterranean dishes are fantastic and now I'm hungry. But! As already stated you can hit up the Wiki - it's incredibly helpful - for general XIV lore and also this post tells the story arc of the Seventh Umbral Era (aka: about what happened before 1.0 shut down to become a Realm Reborn). Any other questions about things or if you're looking for character feedback, feel free to ask here on the forums! I hope to see you in game C: Oh wow...that post really helped me catch up one what happened! Thank you for that! Just got some more Lore reading to do..and by some I mean a lot..haha. Worth it though! Pretty excited to start RPing!

Thanks for the help so far! Is there anything else I should be aware of? Important minor details that one misses when they sign their life away? :lol:

Wouldn't mind being a mentor myself...RP wise would be great to show people the ropes. Lore wise...eh I think I'd need to be a mentoree in that department. Either way, I'm up for teaching or learning! If being a mentor is needed most I'll go do that, but I personally wouldn't mind be taught. Even with the old man character of mine. You learn something new every day right? So feel free to PM me anything having to do with RPing..can even have Barios in game show some youngins' how things are done.

I'll have to go with it could be bad, or it could be great group. Lets say you're in a area and some people are already RPing there...I know in GW2 if people weren't supposed to be in the RP, I'd just kind of...RP around them? Unless having them get involved became a fun thing. If everyone in the community or at least a majority of people agreed that a certain spot is claimed by so and so, I think it's weird to just "declare" it claimed. Should be a voting poll haha. So yeah depending on how the RPers in the area feel it could be a awesome thing, or just down right annoying.

Haha I like the idea of older characters. Especially because you don't see many of them. It's a shame. Who teaches all the youngins' how to wield their weapons? How to use their heads? To me that's a great idea! As for making Barios a chef in game? Haha...I'll try to stay away from that as much as I can. Being a chef in real life is difficult enough! I kind of want Barios to be a story-teller. Once his memories slowly come back he'll remember things that have happened..but that brings me to the next point. I don't know much about Final Fantasy 14! Lore wise and whatnot. Any idea where I should start off?

Seems to be the right spot to post in hardy how do you do! Been looking ready to RP in ARR for ages now, so I'm pretty excited that it's getting closer! Oh my manners are horrible, I'm Barios! Most of my main characters are named Barios, I like the idea of a different universe, different personality thing. Pretty cool! I've been playing MMO's for ages now. Probably since I was...14. Been some years since haha. I enjoy them, and about two or three years ago I started getting into RPing. It was quite the getaway, and using imagination in such a way as roleplaying just seemed to fit perfectly. I enjoy detail. Being able to express as much detail as I can without making it seem over the stop or boring is what I aim to do. In ARR, Barios will be a older character. At least that's the hope for my idea. Similar to the one I had in GW 2, this one will either be a fist weapon user or a lancer. Little bit of magic behind him as well. He'll have awoken from a sleep. One in which many people who knew him thought he had died. Now he needs to put together what happened, and who if anyone placed him into his coma. My roleplaying style...I wouldn't say heavy, but I wouldn't say medium either...somewhere in between. Of course there will be days where I don't want to RP, and there will be others when I RP all day, haha. Just to make everyone feel a bit more comfortable with me! I'm a chef in real life. I make things from actual comfort foods to even (My favourite for now) Mediterranean! Mmmm tasty stuff! But that's it from me for now! I see I've written quite a bit! Sorry for that, but I hope to meet you all, and have a fun time!
