Gospel Lightfaith

How did December sneak through without me giving this thread a bump? Man, time flies. But roleplay is always there! Still looking for late-night, friendly, reliable folks to do some story shenanigans with!

I'm always down for meeting new people, as is Gospel, so I'm sure we can manage something between the two of us! I'll shoot over a Discord Friend Request shortly and we'll see what we can come up with!

Still looking for some late-night roleplayers for story and character-driven shenanigans!

October nudge! Still always on the lookout for late-night and overnight (US) roleplayers to hang out with and make some great stories with!

I'm still on the lookout for some great roleplay partners, particularly in the late-night/overnight hours in the US. You're welcome to contact me on Discord (listed on the carrd on this advertisement) or to drop me a PM here! ♥

First and foremost, thank you, @Faye for eloquently explaining a lot of points! I'll try to elaborate in my own words as well. To take things point-by-point: 1.) OOC is not IC is exactly what it sounds like. I'm not my character; my character is not me. At no point should it ever be conflated between the two. If my character doesn't like yours, it doesn't mean I, as the Player, dislike you, as the Player. My character's emotions, perceptions, intelligence (or stupidity) is not a reflection of ME as a person. This does not and has never meant that I'm not open to discussing things OOC. In fact, in the same post I say that I'm a huge proponent of OOC communication so that we -- as a team -- can ensure everyone has a good time. 2.) Exclusivity simply means I don't want/need to be attached-at-the-hip to someone 24/7. I have other friends, I have Real Life obligations. I cannot and will not be any one person's sole source of fun and roleplay, that's an unfair and unrealistic expectation. I don't see the issue in being up-front about that. If someone's looking for a permanent and exclusive RP partner (which some folks do look for), they aren't going to find it here. 3.) Uh, excuse you? I absolutely reserve the right to leave a roleplay session no matter WHAT my reasoning if it's not something I enjoy or something that makes me uncomfortable. Nowhere did I say that I would be unwilling to communicate about it (see also: aforementioned caveat of OOC communication being a Big Deal to me...) The fact that you think that sounds "entitled" says a lot more about you than it does me. No roleplayer, anywhere, should ever HAVE to stay in a scene for fear of upsetting the person they're roleplaying with, ever. As Faye said, we do this for fun. No one should have to do something they find "unfun" simply to please someone else. That expectation alone is revolting. You're more than welcome to feel the way you do and find my expectations off-putting. It simply means I'm not the right kind of roleplayer for you, and you're certainly not the kind of roleplayer for me if you find these conditions harsh and self-centered. Negative feedback doesn't bother me in the least, but when a lot of what you say is purely your own subjective assumptions of what you think I mean, that really just sounds like you have a chip on your shoulder about me being up-front about my expectations... well, there isn't much I can do about that. There are plenty of roleplayers who find these expectations clear, concise, and welcome. I've even been complimented on them. Thank you, though, for your time and attention in getting this far. I certainly hope you find what you're looking for in Eorzea!

I do believe I encountered you out in the Azim Steppe a few nights ago and you were very kind give me your Tiger Skins for my crafting endeavours! While I'm not an Aussie, I am a US Player that operates on late-night hours (8pm-8am Central US Time) a lot of the time, so I'd be happy to roleplay with you sometime!

I'm still on the lookout for great roleplay experiences and adventures! If you're new to FFXIV roleplay or just new to roleplay in general I'm happy to be a guinea pig as you figure out your character and how everything works. There's no reason at all to be shy, I don't bite, I promise! Just leave an indicator of interest and I'll be happy to set something up if you leave some contact information.

Hey there, Corim! If I'm out and about in any of the cities, I'm almost always in-character, but if you see me running around somewhere and I'm not RP flagged I can generally be coaxed into it with a poke or prod. I know it doesn't help you in the grand scheme of things, but I'm always happy to make new contacts and connections for my characters. More often than not, I go by the motto of: "RP is where you make it." If I don't find RP to my liking somewhere, then I'll make my own, making posts IC that people can react to if they're nearby. There's a difference between posting reactionary things and just 'wallflowering', though. Trip and fall. Knock over something, Bump into someone. Initiate the contact IC and see what comes of it. If no one bites, move on and try again. I also make it a habit to check out carrds and profiles when I'm idling around and sending compliments to the authors along with invitations to RP. Sometimes these pan out, sometimes they don't. It's all really luck of the draw and whether or not you really click together as writers and players. It's a process of elimination, really. Try one thing, if that doesn't work, try another, and another. Something will eventually pan out, I promise.

Hey there, Yin'ra! Welcome to the FFXIV roleplaying community! If you need some lore help, I heartily recommend Sounsyy Mirke's Lore Compilations for further reading. That said, you'll likely get a variety of answers, depending on who you ask. I generally advise using common sense and courtesy when dealing with other people and roleplay. If you aren't certain on how to approach someone IC, then send them a tell privately OOC and see if you can arrange something. If they aren't open to chatting with you OOC or the idea of you joining in their scene, then you're likely better off moving on to someone more receptive. The FFXIV community, in general, seems pretty accepting of LGBTQ+ these days, but undoubtedly there are corners of the world you'll want to avoid. I, myself, can't tell you where or what they are, but I'm sure there are those who can share those experiences. Unspoken rules for Ul'dah? The Quicksand will always be at least 50% ERP requests, though your mileage may vary. XD And no. You must do every fetch quest, forever, now that you've asked the Unaskable Question. RIP, you. I look forward to seeing you in-game!

Hey there, Adox! Welcome to the FFXIV RP community! If you need a little lore help, I highly suggest Sounsyy Mirke's Lore Repository for further reading! She has fairly comprehensive lore segments on just about any topic in the game! There's plenty of places and room for morally ambiguous characters here in FFXIV, even a few Free Companies that cater to them if that's something you're interested in farther on down the line. I certainly hope you find a happy little niche for yourself here. If you ever need a buddy or someone to just chill with, you're welcome to contact me here on the RPC, via Discord (casualcatte#1384) or in-game on Gospel Lightfaith @ Balmung.

There are actually Blogs available right here on the RPC! (You find them by clicking the "More" tab at the top and going down that menu to Blogs -- It's a weirdly hidden and highly underutilized feature!)

I am absolutely game and I've sent you a Friend Request on Discord! Let's get some ideas rolling! I have a couple of Free Companymates that may also be interested that I'll introduce you to later.

Notable Affiliations These can be used as points of contact. Ul'dahninan Roots Natives of Ul'dah are welcome to know Gospel, either by name or simply by reputation. She is a known free paladin adventurer that offers her services as a caravan guard, a defender of the smallfolk. Common adventurers are welcome to have seen her in passing, coming and going from the Adventurer's Guild or talking and turning in various contracts with Momodi. Merchant's Daughter The Lightfaith family name is commonly attached to a small arms and armor merchant whose emblem is a radiant sun. Buyers and purveyors of arms and armor are also welcome to know Gospel through her merchant family. Until she came of age, the silver-haired, well-mannered young woman travelled with them frequently as they travelled Eorzea to peddle their wares. Maelstrom Captain Members of the Maelstrom, both current and former, are welcome to know Gospel from her time in service. A long-standing member of the crew of "The Silverwing" she worked her way through the ranks to become Captain Esmerelda Harlock's First Mate. She was in line to succeed her Captain and take over the captaincy of "The Silverwing" but Gospel retired to return home to Ul'dah, much to the Admiral's ire (and admiration.) "The Silverwing's" greatest claim-to-fame is the daring rescue of "The Tiderunner", a privateer blockade runner that ran afoul of the Garleans. The privateer vessel was on its last legs, turning to make a last desperate charge for the mid-ship of the Garlean battleship. However, "The Silverwing" swooped in at the last moment, a bombardment from their broadside cannons drawing the Garleans away from "The Tiderunner" so the merchant ship could make a limping escape to safe harbors. "The Silverwing" and Captain Esmerelda, along with her First Mate and her crew, were known to be sent regularly on Missions of Mercy, carrying troops to beleagured areas, ferrying refugees to safety, and delivering relief aid to coastal villages that needed it. Gospel served as both Strategist and Tactician for the vessel, as well as a Diplomat when needed. What I'm Looking For... Mostly just friendly folks, age 21+ to Roleplay with, because I'm a 40-year old player that prefers to play alongside other adults. I'm not particular as to character race or background, though their interactions with Gospel and how she reacts to them will ultimately determine their fate. I'm wholly an "organic" roleplayer; I've never liked the idea of scripted relationships or allegiances, rather letting them grow as they will based on what happens in roleplay. Long-term, short-term, I'm perfectly content with whatever time a person has to donate. I'm more than happy to play a bit part in plots and personal stories. ♦ Long-term or short-term contacts, friends, and connections. ♦ Night owls and late-night players. Preferably age 21+, but 40+ crowd a bonus! ♦ Strong OOC Communication. I believe the best RP is between people who communicate OOC regularly. ♦ Para/Multi-Para Roleplayers. I prefer immersive experiences and writers, one-liners don't provide that. What I'm NOT Looking For... ♦ I'm not looking for drama or people who can't keep Characters separate from Players. What happens in roleplay is just roleplay; it has no regard or reflection on you or me as people behind the keyboard. Please, keep that in mind. ♦ Exclusivity; I don't expect to be attached at the hip to anyone. I enjoy playing the game on my own at times, as well as being a social butterfly. ♦ People who cannot respect boundaries. If I stop a scene for any reason, I expect that to be the end of it with no hard feelings. If you have a problem with that OOC, then we have no business roleplaying together. These are all deal-breakers. I don't have the time or energy these days to cope with people that can't respect these very simple rules. I am OKAY with... ♦ In-character Conflict. Again, see the IC=/=OOC caveat. Just because my character doesn't like or get along with yours doesn't mean I dislike you on a personal level. If at any point you feel like something is crossing the line, you're both welcome and expected to talk to me OOC to clarify and I will be more than happy to talk it over with you. ♦ In-character Dungeons/Questing. I thoroughly enjoy mixing PVE and RP! I like using all of the world instead of just the city or specific taverns. ♦ Romantic Connections. I'm perfectly fine with romancing my character, but I only engage in it through organic roleplay and extensive time-investment. Slow burn romances are my jam. I don't conjure relationships out of thin air and I don't do "love at first sight" or one-night stands. Character development is key. I'm NOT OKAY with... ♦ Roll-based Combat. I find it boring. I'm sorry! That's just how I feel. If I want to play roll-based combat, that's what my D&D nights are for. ♦ Mature Content. This includes, but is not limited to: excessive gore, violence, sexuality, maudlin, or horror. I may be older in age, but Mature themes are something I prefer to opt-in to once I know what's going on. There are some subjects and scenes I do NOT want to engage in. Player Availability From Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, I'm usually online from 8pm (Eastern) until whenever I decide to log out for the night. The latter half of the week, I tend to do Real Lifey things (D&D and Hubby Date Night, woo!) so I can be pretty hit-or-miss since things come up spontaneously. I have several auto-immune conditions that require careful management, so anyone who plays alongside me has to be understanding. I may need to reschedule a scene or duck out of one early as my pain requires. I will do my best to communicate as much and as early as possible so I don't waste anyone's time, but Life being what it is -- sometimes you just can't.
