Hi and welcome! Like Faye said - you literally cannot go wrong with them catboys.

Update: I am happy to say that Cedu'li and N'xihmi has found a friend each to play with, but Sireh'ya is still shyly looking for someone to offer his famous cupcakes to! Sireh'ya is training to be a culinarian, but is feeling kind of lonely since he had to flee his home after most, if not all, of his friends mysteriously dropped off the face of the planet. He could use some love in his life right now (aka I'd like a romantic plot, if possible). All three boyos have had their introductions re-written (and their ages changed) over on Tumblr (links in first post!), so check those out if you're interested!

Oh wow, okay, cool, thank you! I had completely missed that feature haha! I'll give it a little look.

Huh, they were concerned with IC stuff like that? That's.. a bit weird? I mean, that would most likely break immersion for me. It's not like my characters' thoughts reflect my personal OOC thoughts! But anyway, thanks for the reply! I think I would most likely end up getting not much journaling done, since I, too, lack the time for rp. But hm, now that I've been roleplaying through Discord, it's not that big of an issue anymore.... And I wouldn't really have to make such a big, consistent deal out of it.... *Keeps pondering* :'D

Ah yes, thank you, I've been eyeing those actually! Can't make up my mind if I want to invest time in it or not though, hence the questions! But thank you for the links and info, much appreciated!

Question for y'all: do any of you keep any form of character journals? If yes, in what format and what platform do you use? How much time do you spend on it, on average? If no, have you done it before? Why did you stop? Or if you've never done it, have you considered doing so? I'm considering doing it, maybe short little entries on Tumblr or maybe on my World Anvil account, but I don't know how well I would keep up with it. Then again, practicing creative writing is always a good (and fun) thing to do I guess. Any thoughts?

Hey Dobrul! Gotta say, the first part of your intro made me laugh out loud - awesome, I needed that today. Anyway, welcome to the forum! Hope you find someone to roleplay with ASAP.

Haha hey Faye, thanks for the welcome! And yes, them catboys... They're a nice add to the game, I've gotta say, hehe.

Th-thanks, I like them too :'D (They're aching for some action, go get 'em)

Hello! 30+ roleplayer, female. New to the forum but not new to roleplaying or FFXIV. Looking for some new roleplaying friends for long-term rp for my boys - either of them, really, if not all! I much prefer roleplaying via Discord, but mixing in some in-game rp every once in a while would be fun, too. What am I like as a roleplayer? I like a little bit of everything, but I prefer some kind of romance plot (I feel like everyone and their mother says this, lol). ERP is welcome, but it's important for me that the characters have some kind of bond first (unless we've come to some kind of agreement, like a character being a bit non-committal or something) and that there's an actual plot happening, too. Plotless ERP is also fun, but I'd prefer something more long-term, if possible. I do like writing paragraphs, but I'm not super-picky when it comes to their length - but one-liners tend to bug me, haha. When it comes down to it, I think I'm leaning towards medium-roleplayer (light, medium, heavy). What am I currently looking for? Long-term relations, I'd love some slow-burn romance with some erp (Kinky stuff? Yes please!) sprinkled in. Darker themes, as well as lighter themes, are welcome. (I dislike gore though, not a huge fan.) My characters all have their own backstory that I wish to explore further and it'd be great to do so with a long-term rp partner! I prefer male x male roleplaying, since that's what I'm the most used to, but my character Cedu'li (see below) has a history with having a female fiancee - however, she was taller and stronger than him and therefore offered a slightly different couples dynamic (compared to the somewhat stereotypical hetero-dynamic), which I find a lot more interesting. Aka big women might be Cedu'li's thing. (I'm trying my best not to be embarrassed writing this publicly. It's not really working.) PS: OOC and IC = totally separate. What about my character(s)? I'm a sucker for miqo'te boys. Is anyone surprised? Probably not. I just love them. Sadly, I'm not on any of the major roleplaying servers - I'm on Lich. But with the world visit as well as the data center visit system coming, I don't think that will be a huge problem. My main character is Cedu'li Nholi, who's a soft, kind, scholarly nerd who wishes to travel the world and write down any lore on all the different kinds of magic he can find. My second favorite character is Sireh'ya Shilno, a culinarian who has a soft spot for astrology and tarot cards (aka I play him as an Astrologian). He's a very soft and chill person who enjoys pampering the ones he loves with some pretty good food. And, thirdly, we have N'xihmi Nuhn, a runaway Nuhn who's just... an easily angered, perhaps slightly too open about his sexual preferences, bratty guy wishing to live The Good Life in Ul'dah and ignore his feelings because feelings are just dumb amirite. There's more of the boys (including introductions of them as characters, my personal art and screenshots of them) over on my old Tumblr, if you're curious. If you're interested in exploring my characters, don't hesitate to send me a DM and we'll talk about it! Cheers! (Screenshot is of Cedu'li.)

Hi guys! I'm known as geminick, or gem for short, online and Jessica offline. 33 years of age, currently studying 2D game art. Been playing FFXIV off and on since 2013 when A Realm Reborn was launched, but got serious about it ca 2017 I think. Around 2018, I met a group of fantastic new friends who introduced me to in-game roleplaying, something I had been curious about but had never tried. We ended up spending a good amount of our time developing our characters, their relationships and so on. It was fun - but it was also very time-consuming. Fast-forward to 2020 and the world went coco bananas in more ways than one and our group had already stopped roleplaying due to having limited time. However, I'm now itching for some more roleplaying, but I would greatly prefer if it happened through Discord and not in game. In-game rp from time to time is absolutely fine, but due to time restraints, I'd prefer if the heavier parts happened through Discord. What am I like as a roleplayer? I like a little bit of everything, but I prefer some kind of romance plot (I feel like everyone and their mother says this, lol). ERP is welcome, but it's important for me that the characters have some kind of bond first (unless we've come to some kind of agreement, like a character being a bit non-committal or something) and that there's an actual plot happening, too.
