Wow uhh.. kinda anxious now I actually have to think about this haha
I recently came over to FFXIV after years of playing World of Warcraft at a mythic raiding level. The experience was fun but overall draining. I finally made the full transition over to FF a few days ago, and I've been very interested in getting into RP.
My RP experience is uhh.. well lacking to say the least. I have done some military RP in the past with Arma units but it was nothing too heavy.
The main point I am concerned about is my character herself. I was looking into Raen lore and how I can kind of get into the mood and feel for the character, but everything I have found says that they are supposedly incredibly rare. The last thing I want to do is come across as some sort of special snowflake type, but being lore consistent is priority number one for me. If anyone can help me find a nice starting place that doesn't involve a fantasia I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm reading the Welcome Desk template and kinda just going for it sorry if this seems all over the place
I aim to be.. I don't know, I guess a light RPer. I already have some buddies that I am comfortable around and they said they would help me flesh out my character and really help me build an identity for them so I don't have to worry about that too much. I tend to stick with safe, "boring" characters for a lot of my ideas. Such as the current iteration of how many I have no clue anymore is just a girl who was hired by the current FC I'm in to be a housemaid for their Estate Hall in Kugane. Nothing fancy, but it's simple and doesn't run the risk of getting out of hand too quickly.
Yeah other than that I consider myself a pretty open person, so if you wonderful peoples have any questions feel free to drop them in the replies!
