I see, Ill write down some hooks then, thanks for the heads up. How do people usually find others to rp with? Ive played for the first time yesterday but I only ever got to talk to 1 person and it wasn't in rp. Would it be fine to be IC at all times? Or is that looked down on?

Yeah, thats what I was worried about too. I am seriously considering cutting out the sensitive content since it might not be relevant for the story I am trying to tell. And yeah, my character in general would only ever tell or give the slightest hints to his backstory to people he gets close to, if anything at all. But I found it important to at least have it written down just in case. Do you have any feedback from a practical PoV? What other information is important for creating a character suited for rp?

Hello, I created the first draft of my characters background. The idea was that he is unexpectedly laid back for a Miqo'te. Due to his reluctance to share too much information about his history before coming to Eorzea or himself, he is very calculating and won't think an action through at least 3 times. Despite that, he acts Eerily upbeat and seems to be easy to get along with. I am not sure if its too long or complicated, or if it even fits within the general tone of FF14. I would really appreciate getting some feedback on it, good or bad. Some content of this background story is quite dark, so I will spoiler tag the story. Anyway, thank you very much for reading my post!

I see, thanks! I will have to go check out the lore threads again, and comb through them to see if there is anything I could reference. Ill spend some time tomorrow writing up a character sheet and establishing a background story. Thanks for the help!

Hi there, I am currently in the process of creating and writing my character (Stuck on the creation screen atm). I want to create a (miqo''te) character who is light hearted and generally upbeat, but quite secretive about his (painful) background as well. I am not quite sure how old I want to make him, but I also like the idea of his age being a mystery as well. The thing I am running into right now though is that I am completely unfamiliar with the history of Eorzea, so I dont know what things I can reference in the background I am writing for him, and I also dont want to write anything that clashes with the established lore. How extensive is the Miqo'te Lore? Could I get away with simply saying his tribe was wiped out? Or is there something along those lines already in the lore or history somewhere that I could use? I am also pretty new to rp in general, so I would love to get some pointers from more experienced players. Thanks a bunch for reading!
