Hey guys, so veteran RPer here. Honestly, I've been rping since the days of Ayenee (Arts & Entertainment Yahoo Chat.) and I've pretty much played, or at least given a cursory dip of the toes into everything since. Played on various mediums and worlds but spent a good majority of my time on things like Neverwinter Nights and things of that nature. Having said that.... I do have a few questions and I figured the best way to get them answered is to ask veterans of this community in particular. So here goes!
1. What kinds of jobs do typical characters have in Eorzea? I suppose what I really mean is... what 'types'. Obviously, you're not going to RP the Warrior of Light (Unless you want to get eye-rolled into oblivion and back) and from my understanding certain things are exceptionally rare. Are our battle-jobs (My character is a Samurai) widely regarded as acceptable in certain terms or are most characters based around more 'mundane' jobs? If they are accepted, to what extent?
For example: Could my character be a Samurai from Kugane who hunts down demons and malicious spirits? Or, would it be better and more widely accepted to just be someone who practices bushido and lives the lifestyle of a warrior?
2. Is there somewhere I can read about Eorzeon cultures from an RP perspective? I know a bit about the lore as I've gone through the entire story (And I do mean entire) and paid attention to it, read into, etc, but there is only so much that can be gleaned at face value. (For the record I've played for a few years just haven't made the jump into RP here for whatever reason)
3. This one is oddly specific. In most of the formats/mediums I've played in it's been the cultural norm to write somewhat lengthy (Not excessive, but lengthy), verbose, small-paragraph style emotes when interacting with others (Obviously, no godmodding, auto-'hits', and things of that nature). Is that something that's done here? or is it usually more succinct and based around the IG emotes that function? I guess in my mind I assumed it's a combination of both and probably depends on who you are RPing with but for the sake of not looking like a moron going into this, I figured I would ask.
Thank you guys for your help in advance and if there's any suggestions/material you think I should take into consideration/read please let me know!
