On a wall not exactly out of view but not necessarily publicly displayed in the city state of Gridania is a paper with a symbol of unknown origin that is rather discomforting to say the least http://www.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/gallery/albums/userpics/11656/ff14rppic3.png[/img]

The world needs anger.The world often continues to allow evil because it isn't angry enough.

A WoodWailers patrol group returns to Gridania and along with them is a is an Elezen female, a duskwight no less. The woodwailers look clearly distraught but it is the duskwight who upon looking closer is covered in blood and is speaking frantically and loudly. Duskwight: "Hahahaha it was only a matter of time before someone began to clean up this world" the elezen said in a cynical yet frantic tone Woodwailer1: "Quiet that is quite enough out you!!!" the wailer said angry voice Woodwailer2: "You have spoken nothing but that gibberish ever since we found you" said another wailer in an exhausted and annoyed voice. Duskwight: "Gibberish? I merely speak the cause of The Arbiter that Hydaelyn has chosen!!!" the Elezen said in a still frantic but now enthusiastic voice and continued "He has dedicated himself to the preservation of our world and heal its wounds that we ourselves have caused it!!!!" Woodwailer 1: "Keep your voice down and hold that heretical tongue of yours!" the woodwailer said in increasing anger and continued " Who would choose someone to commit acts of such violence, not even the crystal itself would ever choose one such individual!!" Woodwailer Captain: "Calm yourself soldier we are all tired of this endeavor and womens ramblings, no need to fuel the fire" said the captain in an authoritative voice. Woodwailer 1: "Yes sir" the woodailer said in a resigned yet still resenting voice" Woodwailer 2: "Tch Arbiter of Hydaelyn, what nonsense, just another nuisance like the Garleans and primals" Duskwight: Now speaking in a more ominous and calm voice " They are not the only nuisances in Hydaelyn that threaten its well being, there are nuisances all around us, The Arbiter will see to it that all is purged and the planet is healed. In due time you will understand hahahaha" the women laughed maniacally. Feeling somewhat wary of the womens words the woodwailers spoke with her no further and quickly brought her to the Twin Adder Hq as well as quickly filed a report regarding the events of the patrol something that will be placed in classified records until further notice. (Just for clarification The Arbiter is a title in itself and no way implies that some godly force has chosen me, it is just a moniker my character will be referred to and is referred to by both fanatics based on my actions and the people who have heard the fanatics speak of me. hope you enjoyed)

This will help create more depth when others RP with me as they already have preordained assumptions. There will be plenty more to come and things may eventually get out of hand so look forward to it and thanks for reading and in the future continuing to read )

Sorry if this isnt the right channel to be posting it up on but i think it is quite suited. Anyway the link below goes to a channel I have made on GrooveShark with an assorment of Japanese music/Cinematic trailer music and other stuff if you need some music to game too are to rp with I believe many of the songs on there are quite suited to the task, I will always add something whenever i find something new, hope you all enjoy and tell me what you think. This has come directly from my own playlist so I do understand if it is not for everyone just something to add to the experience anyway i can http://grooveshark.com/#!/playlist/FF14+RP+Gaming/90088670

Lol well even if its one or the other the fact that there is some form of aether dispersion upon death or can be extracted from a person gives me quite a bit to work with. I think i have a good plan for a an epic rp plot

Yeah actually for quick clarification since I notice as well when I met hydaelyn I meant the entire world sort to speak not just the crystal

Ooooooo this helps greatly, If i surmise the right amount of planning and dedication I may in fact give the rp community one menacing plot to tackle since i roll antagonist :evil:. So i thank you, you may have inadvertently set off an epic chain of events

Every adventure needs some antagonism, I am your person, message me when things start to go down or are being planned

Upon death does the aether an individual had within them return to Hydaelyn?

It is a fair day in Limsa Lominsa, the ports are as busy as every and the people are just as busy being apart of a port city. The sea is also just perfect for sailing so there is more productivity than usual. All is going well in the city and as the day begins to turn to night things slow down and many take a chance to look at the beautiful sea illuminated in such a unique way that night due to the moons positioning. The peace of that day would soon be shattered, slowly but surely a tint of red can be seen approaching, what was causing it the people were not sure for it was hidden beyond a cove. They looked on in anticipation and slight anxiety... Just then it came into sight. It was 3 ships all of which were set ablaze, they were ships of grand size and no doubt a grand crew. The people upon seeing this went into a panic believing it to be a Garlean attack, the Malestrom quickly mobilized its troops to patrol the surrounding areas for Garlean forces. Just then another horror unfolded, what was thought to be debris falling from the ships were actually people set ablaze falling to the ocean to escape the flames grasp. The troops of the Maelstrom were able to rescue a few survivors but could do nothing about the ships but let the blaze run its course. When the survivors were questioned two things were discovered, One, it was one person who committed such devastation upon them. Two, they were not the most honorable sort of folk but nothing to the degree of punishment by death. Whoever committed this act has drawn a very thin line for innocence and guilt.

Near the gates to Ul'Dah a merchant is argues with the captain of the patrol concerning the outer wall's of Ul'Dah. Out in the distance out in the distance a smoke plum can be seen. Wealthy Merchant: "I demand you find the vandal responsible for the destruction of my merchandise!" said the merchant in a loud and angry voice. Captain: "Would you mind telling me why my patrol should investigate this when there are other matters that take priority" said the captain in a less than thrilled voice. Wealthy Merchant: "That merchandise was worth more gil than a simpleton like you could comprehend! might i add that the funds received would have directly benefited our fair city, the destruction of that merchandise is an attack on Ul'Dah itself!" the merchant was now clearly distraught and getting angrier. "If you do nothing ill make sure the syndicate hears of this." Captain: Without so much as batting an eyelash the Captain responds "Go ahead and tell them but mind you I would have a few things to tell them as well which may not be very beneficial to you." Wealthy Merchant: He quickly quiets down and looks at the captain half cautiously and worriedly "What do you mean" Captain: "Well you see I did have my troops examine the caravan of supplies or what was left and low and behold the shipping manifest remained untouched. Now while there were normal supplies there were most definitely products on that manifest with questionable legality, but that is not all the size of the caravan and number of products did not match. Anyone can deduce you are making more than your letting on and hiding money from the syndicate is not a wise choice. So here is what we will do, we forget this happened and go our separate ways, my advice stay on the straight and narrow or whomever did this may take more than just profit from you next time." Wealthy Merchant: The merchant said not a word but simply grumbled and went on his way now more fearful than angry. Captain: The captain breathed a sigh of relief now that the hassle was gone but he did think strange happenings have been occurring within Ul'Dah lately and they may in fact be connected. He decided to double up the patrols something was lurking in the shadows whose was while appearing to be good was still unclear

Just mashed the pause button to check and they do all have the same symbol if they didn't my mind would have been blown

After thinking about it I realized that there is kind of an interpretation of what the twelve would have done to Bahamut if summoned fully. Mind you this is purely entertainment but nonetheless I think is a good way of thinking about it as well as why they were not summoned in full strength. And yes they are all male and there is 13 not twelve but you can ignore that and just think about it in relation to ff14:D kogUw9Cre1c

It is another bustling day in the streets of Ul'Dah with people of all sorts going about their lives, and is as usual extremely busy where all the markets are at. Among the people two city guards are patrolling the streets looking for thieves and pickpockets and talk while doing so. Guard 1: "Patrol found two corpses just out the city this morning, seems like those two had criminal ties and had a connection with Jan" said the guard with an unchanging attitude. Guard 2: "They were probably the smugglers we were after, hah well whoever killed them did us a favor, not we can focus on external problems rather than internal ones" the guard said in a slightly relieved voice. Guard 1: "Did you forget" the guard said in a more hushed voice and continued "A Garlean flag was left at one the scenes earlier last night, there is a good chance Garleans are trying to take over all the criminal rings and send the resources back to the empire." Guard 2: "If that was the case wouldn't they want to remain in the shadows instead of announcing their presence in such a grand way? If you ask me this seems like a case of misdirection, everyone is looking left while they should be looking right" Guard 1: "Well if it is not Garleans then we probably don't need to worry and like you said whatever did this certainly aids in helping us focus on the real threats. Hopefully whatever persons or person is doing this doesn't decide to stir up more trouble than its worth." said the guard jokingly Guard 2: "Hah I hear that, well considering we are all soldiers I don't think we are at any risk. Well that about covers this area lets make a quick check on the immortal flames and then be on our way" Both soldiers continue on their patrol striking up nothing else but pointless and whimsical banter.

(Before we get underway this is my first forum rp so be gentle :lol:. To make matters slightly more challenging I am gonna experiment with a different method all together and will now explain it. From what I have seen most of the RP's have direct interaction with the users character, however in this RP people will not be interacting with my character but rather begin to create opinions, assumptions and a vast variety of things based on things they hear ranging from taverns and guards to things they see such as articles regarding my characters actions. People are free to interact with each other and talk about what they know and speculate on things that may occur. Ultimately this RP will kinda try to make you unravel the kind of person my character is without actually meeting him and will just have deduce it based on information from various sources. Kind of hope I explained it well enough, any and all OOC critiques and comments are welcome, just make sure they are put in parenthesis like this.Also once in game RP's start occurring the events of what go down there may also make it on here. So without further ado lets get started.) It is a quiet and cool night in the city of Ul'Dah, and tucked away into a corner of the city is fair sized tavern where individuals of all sorts gather. In the tavern among all the guests are two who are sitting at a table who appear to be distraught and perhaps fearful. Distraught Man1: "You heard what happened to Jan right?" said the man with a slight shiver in his voice. Distraught Man 2: "Are you kidding me everyone from pickpockets to gang leaders know what happened to him and with good reason" the second said with a tinge of anger and then continued "Not only was his crew slaughtered but so were buyers. The gil and arms were taken and above all Jan was impaled right onto a wall by a Garlean flag" the man finished with anxiety now building up in his voice. Distraught Man 1: "What are we going to do!!" the man said in a loud panicked voice. Distraught Man 2: "Quiet don't make a scene" the second said in a fierce yet hushed voice Distraught Man1: "We had strong tie to Jan if the persons or person who did that find out we knew and in fact did business with him it could be ending up pinned to a wall" he said in a quieted voice now but still in a panic. "We should just go to the guard and have them protect us or send us to jail or something that will keep us away from whatever may be coming". Distraught Man 2: "No!" said the man now raising his own voice slightly "I will not run to the guards just because Jan got unlucky. Listen we should leave the city tonight, I have a few contacts up north, they can help us lay low until this situation resolves itself, now get up and lets go we may have attracted more attention than need be." Both men got up and quickly left the tavern with slight jogged to their step. Once gone the patrons who took notice of the men and perhaps overheard the conversation try to wrap their heads around what has occurred.

Same I tend to try and find theatrical pieces or orchestra's when determining a piece of music for my character as you can see by my song choice

Hello all this is just a quick tidbit of knowledge for those who may not know what to do. If you have pre ordered the game via gamestop and was told "we have no codes" complete BS. Here is what you do call customer support (fair warning there is long wait times, was on hold for about 30 min) tell them you made a pre order but got no code, they will ask you for the phone number on you power up card (you can sign up for a free one and not the upgraded one). Once done they will tell you a code will be emailed to you in a couple of hours, I got mine in like 30 min. So there you have it for those who made pre orders at gamestop and received no codes call customer support. Hope helps and see you all in game :cactuar:

Kewl beans people keep on posting up the music its awesome to hear the different styles of music as well as the persona's they are meant to capture

Haha perfectly fine whatever you feel can define your character go ahead and post up

I really like that you can definitely feel the gentleness in the piece but you can also hear the overshadowing sadness that is in it as well

Now this is my own personal opinion but I believe that given appropriate timing detail and presentation music does wonders in capturing the persona of heroes and villains alike which is why I am suggesting that If you know of a piece of music that really just adds flesh to your character post it here and give a little tidbit of why this music suits your character. Before I start off there is a restriction and that is Final Fantasy tracks cannot be used, I am quite confident many Final Fantasy tracks will align with our character designs perfectly so lets branch out and find music that really represents our character. On a side note not required but if you can take the extra step to find music that also has titles appropriate to you character. Now then I will start off enjoy . 0QcV1KpSlv4 My character is an anti-hero and as such he more often than not has delved head first into the darkness and no person comes out of the darkness without taking a bit with them. I like to think the first minute of the music describes the kind of person my character can become, one who inspires hopes, ideals, and is one of honor. However after the first minute it solidly represents the kind of person he is and will continue to be with an unwavering resolve and prepared to take on any and all adversity. So let me know what you all think of this idea and if you like it, you are more than welcome to post up. I look forward to seeing all the different types of music that will arise from this. (Update: This was actually my first choice but I wanted to be somewhat subtle at first hence they first vid. This next piece encompasses the terror, anxiety and fear my character will induce on all he deems his foe enjoy) GKccwBc0ElI

While I will not be a villain per say (but that can be subject to change based on views and what goes down in rp ) I have created an anti-hero http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=3786 so if anybody needs a villain, someone who is at least antagonistic or create tension during an rp plot I am more than game to do so. Look forward to playing with you all .

Thank you, I like going towards the anti-hero route because it allows for more freedom in choices since they are not necessarily morally bound. It also creates tension in RP since people don't know how exactly the person will handle the situation . I am Most definitely going dragoon probably a favorite of mine. There will definitely be more story, will probably make some about missions and things that happened in that 5 year span and then endeavors that have and are occurring after. Glad you enjoyed and thanks again for teh feedbacks

(Before you get into it I am mildly familiar with RP so I am no stranger to it however considering I have not done Final Fantasy RP you can consider this newbie . Also one thing I would like to hear about is if the alignment I have chosen is appropriate, I am rather big on alignments since it helps give direction in how your character should be, thanks again and enjoy) Race: Miqo’te Name: Andras Goetia Gender: Male Age: 20 Hair: Blue Skin color: Dark Eye Color: Green Biographical: Place of Residence: Ul’Dah region Place of Birth: Gridania Relatives: Father and Mother Occupation: Often does work in intelligence gathering, sabotage and assassinations however when not on the job takes up a hobby or two and eases up a little bit. Tradeskills: Intelligence gathering,Sabotage, Assassination Combat Proficiency: Hand to hand combat,Skilled with a variety of weaponry but favor’s the lance, slight proficiency in magic but overall is not skilled in the area Appearance: Clothing Choice: Normal Civilian wear with no preferred color of choice Armor Choice: Allows for maneuverability but also provides a sufficient amount of protection for when maneuverability fails Weapon Choice: Lance Special Abilities: When he was born he had the ability to every now and then hear whispers of nature, it just limited to the forests but all parts of the world, in a sense he can hear the worlds voice. The ability however is not reliable as he cannot use it of his own volition; it can happen at the most random and possibly dangerous of situations. He has learned to be able to maintain his focus and often shut out the voices if the situation calls for it but otherwise listens. It also seems that the color of his eyes are also due to this ability, both his parents have hazelnut eyes yet he has green eyes that give off a slight glow when near areas of condensed magic. Personality: Alignment: Lawful Evil Motivations: While he lacks a certain faith to any gods in particular due to hearing the voices of possibly the planet itself he seeks to save it from destruction, even if it means he must go down a dark path and not bathe in the light he has gladly resolved himself to work within the shadows it casts to protect the world. Disposition: If they prove to be a threat to the safety of the world he wall pursue them maliciously and methodically, however that does not mean he will turn a blind eye to other groups or individuals who are causing problems. He is not to be confused with a hero of justice though more often than not the actions he par takes can be considered questionable as well. Outlook: Seeks a world different from what it is now but not at the cost of complete destruction of the planet or life Philosophy: “Preserve the light in the shadows it casts” Personality Traits: Very patient,willing to learn new methods if they benefit his line of work, level headed on and off the battlefield, mildly social and tries to keep the mood light when not on a mission. Depending on the kind of assignments he goes on he can become especially cold and vicious and is very dedicated to getting the job done, putting yourself between him and his job especially in the case he believes the person a threat to the world will result in extreme hostility do so at your own risk or with another person at the very least. BackStory: Andras was born to a moonkeeper tribe however his parents wanted to break away from tradition and decided to leave the forests soon after his birth giving him a nontraditional name and headed to Ul’Dah. A good portion of his childhood and early teen years was quite average and he and his family lived a comfortable life to age 15. That soon came to an end when the calamity approached. During the final stages of the calamity Andras’s parents went to battle, they had prior experience on the battlefield and wanted to fight to protect their child. They may have also felt that they must go and fight when they heard that their tribe was heading to the battlefield as well, they may have broken away from them but a bond was still there. Although distraught Andras knew the world was in a dangerous state due to his ability which he kept secret from his parents as to not worry them, he accepted their departure with a heavy heart. In the final moments of the calamity Andras was brought to his knees in sheer pain, his ability that was nothing more than whispers became a loud and violent screaming, and became so intense he even feared that the voices would take form and take his life, but no sooner did it begin the screaming stopped… An Era ended and a new one began. When his parents did not return he knew why and mourned for them. After hearing the screaming Andras decided he would do anything to make sure the world did not end up in such a state again, at whatever cost. Growing up in Ul’Dah Andras knew about the syndicate and decided that he will gain the skills he needed by joining them. For 3 years he worked for the syndicate and learned various techniques for combat and outside of combat as well. He also obtained numerous contacts of individuals with various occupations legal and illegal. Once he obtained what he needed which was skill, experience and resources Andras left the syndicate and began conducting operations of his own, hunting down potential threats and dealing with them as well as becoming a mercenary that took on jobs of sabotage and assassination, and even became a information broker of sorts. All of this in an effort to ensure the planets safety from another calamity, he did this 2 years and was confronted with a wide variety of situations, but that is something for another time. Despite his efforts the quieted whispers that Andras heard were beginning to increase in volume and he knew that something was approaching. (Music to help personify my character even more let me know what you all think and if the music is appropriate given the character) 0QcV1KpSlv4
