Bumping one more time -- still looking for people interested in helping make something of this guy.

Bump. Had a few contacts fall through so Hrodrich's a pretty clean slate again.

Aww! Love 'em all, especially Hrodrich, but then I'm biased

Bump. Already have a couple of things cooking but there's still room for more!

Another Discord RPer here that tends toward long character development arcs and descriptive posts rather than quick in-game events. Links in my signature (thanks for the idea, @Mermaid!). Feel free to PM me if you find anything of interest, or just want to plot out something new with me -- I also find the plotting is almost as much fun as the playing, but that doesn't mean I don't want to play or will flake out on you!

Looking for something a little different here: RP on Discord, rather than on FFXIV itself. For more info on my situation and RP preferences, see my Player Directory post. Feel free to contact me no matter what FFXIV server you play on, if you're willing to play on Discord! Hrodrich Thorne is one of the unlucky Ala Mhigans who did not manage to flee the Garlean occupation in time. For 20 years, he endured Imperial subjugation, passing in and out of work camps and taking whatever jobs he could get in between to feed himself and pay Garlemald’s onerous taxes. Now that Ala Mhigo has been liberated, he seeks an identity and purpose of his own, out from under the heel of those who considered him a savage. I am open to most RP themes and welcome interest from any players / characters who might want to make a difference in his life, for good or ill. Existing connections, friend or foe, are welcome, but I have established he has no living immediate family. Ideally, someone might take him under their wing and teach him something to find value in -- a trade, perhaps, or magic, or even how to fight. But even a passing conversation with someone might end up having an outsize influence on him, by helping him realize what freedom truly means and/or what might be possible in life beyond toiling for pennies. And anyone willing to take advantage of his lack of self-determination could likely mold him into whatever they wanted -- but let's discuss that OOC, at least in general terms, to make sure it's in my comfort zone before committing. Drop me a PM here if any of this interests you, and we'll see what we can work out. Thanks!

Hi all. First time using the RPC forums; this might be an unusual post. I used to play FFXIV and dabble in RP. I really like the world/atmosphere and enjoyed my brief RP experience, but some things about the game frustrate me, so I've been taking a break for a while. I'm not planning to return to FFXIV at the moment, but I'd love to get back into RP and more seriously this time, so I'm looking for some Discord-based RP opportunities. You can be from any FFXIV server; I played on Balmung before, but if I do come back to the game I'm willing to transfer or create elsewhere. I. Basic Info Characters: Hrodrich Thorne Primary character: Hrodrich Thorne Linkshells: None. Primary RP linkshell: None. II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Medium-heavy. I tend to focus on character development and emotional content; I'm most interested in story elements that tie into this. Sometimes it takes some coordination to set this stuff up right, and sometimes IC emotion does threaten to overwhelm people IRL, so a willingness to keep OOC communication open and respectful is a must. Views on RP combat and injuries: I think combat should have realistic outcomes given the abilities and motivations of the characters involved. So not a fan of unmodified /random Generally I'd prefer to discuss an agreeable result ahead of time for any serious encounters. Views on IC romance: I'm willing to include this, but it needs to develop naturally and over time ICly and be agreed on OOCly first. I am not interested in ERP and would rather fade-to-black sexual content unless highly relevant for character development. Any attempt to bleed an IC romantic relationship into OOC or demand that I play my character only when your character is also present and we're through, IC and OOC. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): I am in general open to others' characters having pre-existing relationships to mine, but please consult with me OOCly first so we can make sure it makes sense with established history / characterization. Views on lore: I prefer to remain mostly within the bounds of established lore. I'm open to "what else makes sense" given what we know and the invention of minor details where the lore is silent, but I like the world as written, so please don't outright contradict it. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): Just in case I do come back to the game: I generally assume that /say and /emote are IC iff the player has the RP tag on. (( Brackets )) can be used to specify OOC. /linkshells can be IC if they're specifically set up that way; they do exist in lore. /yell is useful for emphasis / announcements during events but too audible too far to be realistic as IC all the time. /shout is right out. III. Other Info Country: US Timezone: Central (GMT-6) Contact info: PM me here for initial discussion, will provide Discord handle if things work out!
