Updating and bumping to seek out ic friends, rivals, and associates for the feisty and mischievous alpha catte

A little bump for May

Just giving this a little bump and some updates

Yes! You can unlock and play every class and job. Some have prerequisites and quest chains to unlock. But they are all attainable by anyone. You aren't expected to be the classes you level- just the lore for the one(s) that fit your chara's backstory There are several hubs and community finders all over. In fact, in game you'll see a community finder icon, where you can look up linkshells, free companies, and clubs in game. My friend and I just got to a point where we are expanding outside our FC (free company- a guild of players to rp and content with.). If your future character likes teaching and philanthropic efforts to help people move forward, our FC focuses on those kind of things. Feel free to reach out if you want any info later on. In the meantime, I'll be happy to help with crafting, basic gameplay, and rp related questions. My friend Eirene is a guru on combat and dungeons/raid. They know all the classes and effective combat strategies for each class-- and lore! I am getting there, but they are huge lore-fountains if you want to know details about races, classes, and world.

Whoops! I forgot a couple there: You CAN rp out your character as their class and job, and their learning as they level up. I generally don't, being I see content and rp as separtate animals. Being lore appropriate and experience appropriate easily trumps the stats and in-game stuff. I recommend doing the class quest more to know the lore- such as fact only warrior of light got a special pass to learn white magic. You can totally rp! Just let peeps know you are learning lore and welcome constructive feedback. Just keep in mind you might need to tweak your character background or experience here and there to catch lore bits.

Crafting can be! It's great for earning gil, making your own mogs and furniture (You can get your own house/apartment and decorate it!! ), and making your own best in slot (BiS) gear if you are into content. But your gaming experience won't suffer without it if it isn't your cup of tea. And here is the great thing: You don't have to stick with your starting class! You can go to the capitals and pick up extra classes and professions from the guilds! One of my friends is an Omni - someone who has maxed leveled and mastered gameplay of every class and job! I'm an Omni-crafter myself - I mastered all the crafting and gathering professions, along with the masterrecipes. You can practice the classes on training dummies, and the Guildhests will teach you the classes basic functions like healing, dps, avoiding status effects, etc.

Welcome to Mateus!! Your style sounds amazing. I'd love to touch base and swap notes sometime ^^ Let me know if you have any questions about game and lore (especially crafting. Crafting and rp are my favorite focuses in the game). I hope you enjoy your journey!

Thanks Faye! It's nice to be here.

Beware of three things in this world, childe. A Silent Forest, black waters, and a smiling mask A name repeated in history, but a presence new from the deepest regions of the Shroud. Myst "The Final Leaf," or "last Leaf" in the Common tongue, came out into the public eye beside a second name oft heard but little seen, a duskwight named Eirene Charbonnau. With the support of various benefactors, the pair have gone from the clothes on their back to being the Matrons of a Refuge known as "Faewood." Botanist, aetheric expert, and huntress, the smaller of the two leaders actively searches the wilds and ruins, though she tells only a select few her motives. The feminine alpha Keeper seeks old secrets, new lands, and people to share the adventure with. Hooks More hooks, rumors, and story starters on her carrd (link below) The Seeker: If your character often spends time in the wilds, they may have seen her exploring caves and forests in search of regents and clues to old stories. The Shroud: Lives in Lavender Beds, 14th ward, plot 10 with a Duskwight. Wanders the Shroud and visits the Gridanian market once a week for basic supplies like paper and ink. Those who have lived in the Shroud would likely have traded with her clan on occasion. They have a reputation for poaching and traveling to various places that the twin adders attempt to bar from outsiders. The clan also engages in trade with some of the remaining Duskwight pockets when they venture to the surface. Assuming the clan is not in the deep shroud during those excursions. Works in Faewood Refuge La Nosca: Limsa: Sometimes wanders markets and seen delivering reagents to the Guilds. Particularly the culinarians guild. Can be seen wandering wilds now and then Does work for a lalafel that keeps an adventurer's market in the Mists Thanalan: Sometimes seen near the Blue mages guild, though she does not seem to actively participate yet. Sometimes delivers reagents to local guilds. Faewood temporary shelter and a second home located in Goblet, to allow them closer access to work and aiding those found in Goblet. Overseas: Occasionally seen around Shirogane and Kugane, or the surrounding areas. Most often in search of myths, information, or reagents. Assistant: Most of her reagent deliveries in Eorzia and the East are on behest of an Eirene Charbonneau, a lelesha Lesha, or on behalf of the Refuge. Looking For Friends, acquaintances, business associates, friendly rivals, unfriendly rivals, and antagonists. Not looking for romance for Myst. Themes: Friendly, slice of life, lore-friendly, house/fc, travel/world, missions, rivalries, more serious storylines with a measure of danger NOT looking for: Super-dark themes, excessive gore, abuse, slavery, lore-breaky, or erp. Playtimes & server Afternoons and weekends, typically most available around 3ish pm to 9pm MST (-7 universal time) FC Staff, so I need to prioritize any group events- but you'll be invited to any open to public.

Hi! I'm Myst. MMORPG background: I came to FF14 in summer 2000 as a wow refugee. At the time, I was tired of sloppy retconed and actively conflicting lore breaking my characters, and the general immaturity/toxicity found in the wow player base. I was practically kicking and screaming 'no more mmorpgs' when a friend encouraged me to try out FF14 during the summer free trial. I fell in love with the atmosphere and lore consistency almost immediately. RP experience Before that, I had nearly a decade of experience in forum rp. I still really enjoy the slower pace and more in-depth thought processes of forum, but in-game rp has a nice charm too. I have a handful of characters that I am looking to develop further in rp interactions. I aim to be a light to medium rper. I want to be a heavy rper because collaborative story telling is my favorite hobby- but I am a business writer irl, so my work-life balance is very important. Currently my Mateus character list is: Myst Lastleaf (my main. I go my her name for simplicity given she is my main/mascot.) Miqo'te Keeper and an assistant to Eirene Charbonneau. Lyof Iryot: Viera huntress, exile of the Wood Toului Himaa: Xaela dancer and twin to Yisan Himaa. Lelesha Lesha: Money grubbing lalafell and mission specialist. Her primary purpose is creating minor events and nudging rp goals along. Now that I am getting more familiar with the community and more secure in the game itself, I'm looking forward to expanding my horizons and meeting new people.

I. Basic Info Characters: Myst Lastleaf, Assistant at Faewood FC Lyof Iryot, Viera Huntress and exile of the Wood Toului Himaa, Dancer and twin to Yisan Himaa Lelesha Lesha, money grubbing Lalafell. Mission specialist. Quasi NPC used to move people's stories forward Primary character: Myst Lastleaf Linkshells: Just Fc's atm Primary RP linkshell: N/A II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Light to Medium Views on RP combat and injuries: Depends on the situation. I am fine with combat as long as I can co-op with my rp partner. Injuries and attack abilities should fit the character's skills, limitations, and other factors. If I know my co-writer, I'll generally go with the flow. Otherwise, I prefer a /random 20 pass/fail system to leave successes and misses to fate. Views on IC romance: I like naturally developing romances for the characters. I do not pre-promise characters to a relationship, and there is always a chance the romantic effort will fail or be unrequited. I don't believe in rewriting character beliefs and concepts to 'fit' a pairing, or love at first sight. I also belief that a romance is affected by IC behavior- or lack thereof. If a lover says something hurtful to my character, they will react. Ghosting for weeks and suddenly come back= character is concerned about where yours went, and will act according to their personality and backstory to the reasoning. Ghosting for a month = The IC character abandoned mine, and my char will believe and act accordingly. Pet peeve: NO CROSSING THE IC/OOC BARRIER. Those who confess an IRL crush or act like we are 'together' ooc because our fictional characters have a romantic relationships will be given my character's 'out' and we will sever our rp partnership. Turning fiction into irl is not healthy for either of us! Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): LOVE! They lend extra depth to the character's background that is beyond my control. Which leads to great twists, turns, and character development. I generally only play family rp with people I trust to stick around, as it is *awful* to get ghosted by someone important to the character. I'm very open to childhood friends, clanmates, hunting partners, clan rivals, etc though. Views on lore: Lore is EXTREMELY important. It lends flavor, setting, and boundaries to shape character perceptions, limits, belief systems, behaviors, and more. More importantly, it gives us a standard to help us predict how characters might react to certain creatures, characters, and circumstances. For example: Tempering up until now was essentially incurable and practically a death sentence. Someone playing a tempered character should expect that anyone unaware of the recent developments in MSQ will be distrustful and potentially try to 'put them out of their misery.' On that note, I don't mind lore bending as long as it is 'lore probable.' If it gets into lore breaky territory, we'll briefly pause, try to come up with a reasonable solution, or gently recon as best we can. If it is totally unworkable, we'll quietly disengage and go about our respective days. I want everyone to enjoy their gameplay experience, so no hard feelings if that means we end up parting due to differences in lore-preferences. ^^ That said, my characters reflect the good, bad and ugly of lore. I do not pull punches on the lore-based perceptions and mis-conceptions the characters would have in this setting. They are not 100% perfect rays of sunshine, not are they a reflection of my own OOC attitudes and beliefs. If you are easily OOC upset and offended if a Miqo'te fiction character is a jerk to your woodwight because of the longstanding 'poacher' thing? Or you see red if lore actively prohibits something you wanna do with my chars? We're not a great fit, and that's okay! Just don't make it some big OOC drama. We can part ways without it turning into some sort of name-throwing, label making, reality tv drama. (I'm too old for that bleep.) Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): I'm not a fan of using linkshells for more than ic and ooc communications. I like /s and /em for rp, whispers for ooc discussions or ic whisperings, and /p for private rps if its a scene we don't want random people to walk into. Such as a mission or an oocly time-constrained meeting. III.
