Wonderful! I'll see about trying to contact you all sometime this week. ^-^

Awesome! I'll see if I can get in touch with you sometime this week. Also still looking for more contacts, of course!

I've recently made the move to Mateus to join the growing community there, and am looking to start getting into some RP! A little about me as a player: I tend to be more Medium RP, as I'm not always 100% in character when running around town, but I tend to like more in depth story driven RP. As such, I really enjoy FFXIV's lore, and try hard to adhere to it. I'm fine if someone wants to bend a little, especially if they have a good story reason, but the more outlandish the breaking gets, the more someone really needs to back it up with excellent RP. ♥ Now! Onto Siban Kha! Siban is a young Xaela woman who has recently become unemployed and is in dire need of a job. She's you're typical retainer, doing the tasks and errands which send her both to the markets and sometimes out into the field. She's light hearted, a bit of a cheeky devil, but takes pride in her work and good service. So! I'm looking for anyone that might need or want the assistance of a Retainer, but also general contacts as well; Fellow retainers, adventures, tavern dwellers, you name it! The best ways to contact me are usually through PM on this site, posting in this thread or through skype, and I can't wait to meet you all!

I. Basic Info Characters: A'mida Khudo Primary RP linkshell: AIM II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Medium RP, as I'm not always 100% in character when running around town, but I tend to like more in depth story driven RP. Of course, feel free to let me know if you'd like to RP if you see me out and about! Views on RP combat and injuries: I've done some combat RP, but it's not my forte, and it takes a lot of trust in the RP partner for me to do it. When it does happen, however, I'm usually fine with any injuries that may occur. Fatality is definitely something to be discussed before hand, however. Views on IC romance: I'm only interested in IC romances if they develop naturally, and the romance is not the end all/be all of the relationship. If romance happens, that's fine, but it's not something I strive for. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): Friendship is wonderful! Same for rivalries. I tend to leave family ties to NPCs, but should someone wish to play as kin, I'm open to discussion. Views on lore: I really enjoy FFXIV's lore, and try hard to adhere to it. I'm fine if someone wants to bend a little, especially if they have a good story reason, but the more outlandish the breaking gets, the more someone really needs to back it up with excellent RP. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): For OOC coversantion I'll usually denote with (( )). III. Other Info Country: Southern California Timezone: PST Contact info: Contact me in game, or by PM!

Pretty much this.

While E'lario's knowledge is more about the aetheric flows within crystals, he does have formal training as a thaumaturge and might be able to able to help. And if he can't figure it out himself, he can try to throw his research assistant at it who also studied at the Ossuary, though he would probably charge for services.

I'm feeling pretty super today, so here, have some super hero gifs.

I'm open for RP whenever I'm online, and I always love to have more people to RP with. I'll try and add you next time I'm on and hopefully we can get together! Of course, you can always PM me here too. And anyone else that wants to feel free.

Macros combine several actions into one, reducing the amount of busy work for your fingers. To start, hit 'Esc' and go to 'User Macros'. From there, you can create and edit macros, as well as select an icon for them. For all of the macros below, you will need to go into your chat filters and either turn off error messages or hide them in another chat window. Otherwise, all you will see in your chat window is failure messages triggered by your macros. Also, please note that the quotation marks on your skills are not optional. While some macros will still function without them, others won't work at all. Here are some basic macros you may find helpful and how they work. Start Attack /ac "Attack Name" /ac "Auto-attack" This one is a bit subtle. If you've ever tried to attack something while out of TP, you'll notice that your character just stands there like an idiot. The solution is start attack macros. This basic macro combines starting auto-attack with a skill of your choosing. Even if you're TP starved or GCD locked and can't perform a skill, you will begin to auto attack your target. If you are OCD enough, you can do this with all your attack skills. Before continuing, there is something people need to be aware of: Macros do not allow for any form of GCD clipping. What the hell am I talking about for the uninitiated? Quite simply, when you use abilities normally, you can hit the key for the ability or spell about half a second before the global cooldown finishes so that the ability triggers the instant the GCD ends. For normal play, no one really gives a shit, but for higher-end serious business raiding this is quite a bit more important as it allows for an absolute minimum of downtime between each GCD, where the matter of milliseconds can literally separate a wipe and phat loot. The current macro implementation, however, does not allow for this. I tested extensively - you MUST wait for the GCD to finish client-side before using another ability. This leads to a lot of distraction and lost time, which sadly counters the point of some of these next few macros. However I included them since if you're not on the bleeding edge you may find these useful. Easy Archer /ac "Heavy Shot" /ac "Misery's End" /ac "Bloodletter" /ac Auto-attack This one eliminates the tedium of watching your cooldown skills (Bloodletter and Misery's End) by combining them into your basic shot. Additionally, it removes the need to have Bloodletter and Misery's End on your bars, as the macro will cast them as often as possible for you. It will cast each of the skills above in order and begin your auto-attack. In between your GCDs from Heavy Shot, it will use Bloodletter and Misery's End as often as possible. Because Misery's End will do nothing while your target is above 20% HP, that line of the macro will return an error message and do nothing when you can't cast the skill. Similarly, there's no penalty for trying to cast Bloodletter while it's still on cooldown. Because of how this game treats off-GCD skills, you will have to spam this button when it is performing multiple actions for you, but that's better than trying to spam two buttons to do the same thing. Replace Venomous Bite or Straight Shot with equivalent macros for better usage of Misery's End and Bloodletter on cooldown. Mouse-over Cure /ac "Cure" /ac "Cure" With this macro, it will first check if your cursor is over a valid target (either on the field or their health bar in the party frame). If not, it will cast the spell on you. This is also helpful if you like to keep enemies targeted while you heal, so you can better see what they are casting or so you can burn excess MP on damage. Target of Target Healing /ac "Cure" (replace cure with phyisck for the arcanist version) This will heal the target of your current target. For example, you have a boss targeted, and the boss in turn has the tank targeted. This macro will heal the tank. Mouseover Provoke /ac "provoke" You can add the following line if you want it to fire on your target when there is no mouseover. /ac "provoke" Sleep/Repose with Markings /mk "Target to ignore 1" /p marked for Please don’t attack. /ac "Sleep" This will sleep/repose your target as well as place the Ignore 1 marker on it and let your party know that something has been slept. Replace "Sleep" with "Repose" for the WHM version. Swiftcast Summons /recast "Swiftcast" /ac "Swiftcast" /wait 2 /ac "Summon" This macro fires swiftcast, then right after that instantly summons your Egi/fairy/carbuncle. When swiftcast is down, it'll still do the summon as normal. For the other summon spells, just type /ac "Summon II" or /ac "Summon III" (capital letter I) Swiftcast Resurrection /macroicon "Resurrection" /party Casting Resurrection on /ac "Swiftcast" /wait 1.5 /ac "Resurrection" This will cast Swiftcast and Resurrection with one press. If Swiftcast is on cooldown, you'll simply cast Resurrection without having to wait the 1.5 seconds you'd normally need to wait due to the Swiftcast animation lock. Feel free to post any and all macros you have found useful!

Cats you say?

Good dogs! Here, have some more dog gifs.

Who doesn't love gifs? No one! So post some of your favorites and share the love.

So many cool people in this thread! Nice too put some faces to the names.

This is a Final Fantasy game, odd hair colors come with the territory. If your character has pink or green hair (or both) I say have fun with it!
