Hello everyone. I’m known as Pali, outside the MMO Rp communities. I have a vast history with the RP scene. I’ve been involved with the Whitewolf Universe, DnD (TSR), Starwars, Marvel, Cyberpunk, even 40k. I was introduced to the MMO gaming community in 2002, when I was working with Paradox Industries, independent game code developers. I was a 3d artist and graphic designer. I did little code work but dabbled in debugging. However, we got the opportunity to volunteer our services (my services) to Blizzard. Where I got my taste of MMO gaming. Needless to say a group of us created a vast arc (story), that is still currently running to this day inside the World of Warcraft Universe. The RP Arc is going on 15 years of progression.
That brings me to why I am here. I was curious enough to expand my resources and knowledge of MMO RP. In other words, I was coaxed into trying out something new. *Laughs heavily as I type this.*
My roommate and very close companion, known as Ereden Khan on Metaus, seduced me into trying it out. I was watching her play the game. It was the design and environment that caught my attention.
Needless to say, I have purchased the game. I’m in love with the environment and gameplay. I’m also looking forward to getting to know more about the RP Community and Lore. So, any tips would be welcomed. I’m very open minded and creative when it comes to working and developing Lore based personas. However, I’m not afraid to go outa the box, as long as it’s idealistically possible within the FFXIV universe.
Now I have given you a bit of my RP background, respectively, I can tell you a bit more about my talent in 3d art. I started drawing when I was about 6, and of course educated myself from there. Over my high school years, I was one of two designers who developed the mural on the marching band truck. Albuquerque’s Del Norte Phantom Knights. That was in 1992-93. From there I took up 3d design, and was introduced to Photoshop. I self taught Lightwave, 3DS Max, Poser and Blender. In 1999 I was introduced to Shawn, CEO of Paradox Industries through a good friend. He was quick to snatch me up for his 3d model and texturing designer. In 2009 or so I lost contact with my old crew. I also have no idea what became of Paradox. Anyway, I continued using my skill as a 3d artist to create commissions for RP Communities. It’s merely a hobby, but it’s one I truly enjoy.
Well, I do hope to learn more about FF and become a part of a growing RP Community. I know some basics, naming Lore to the races available. Some backgrounds like tribe/clan differences. But there is SO much more to learn. Here are a couple of the persona’s I plan on building. Starting with my Main.
Name: Le’daren Draech ( Le-Daren Drake)
Race: Miqo’te ( Yes, his name is not race accurate due to “who” raised him. If anyone is curious on this please speak with me. I would like to make sure it’s reasonable development.)
Sex: Male
Class/Job: Thamaturge/Black Mage
Alignment: Neutral Good
Daren is currently my main and most developed character.
Name: Y'kei Katsueki'noun (Yah-khy Blooddawn "Noun") He's taken a last name not of his tribe due to events that have him hiding his true name.
Race: Au Ra
Sex: Male
Class/Job: Lancer
Alignment: Neutral Evil
More will be developed on him as I learn more.
Name: Ei’kher (I-keer) Kharuul (Cruel)
Race: Au Ra
Sex: Male
Class/Job: Arcanist
Alignment: Neutral
Concept Persona.
Name: Khaskade
Race: Roegadyn
Sex: Female
Class/Job: Lancer (Survivalist)
Lastly, a character developed of my own personality. She is still under development as well.
Anyroad! *Smirkyface* I do hope to meet with some of you, even if you are on a different realm. Until then "May you walk in the light of the crystal."
