Arlas

Bows just don't even compare to guns from a military standpoint, so I can't see them in use at all. Bows take intensive training to be useful, and even then. It's much easier to train people en mass to use guns. That said.... I want a sniper rifle for one of my characters. 8[ But I can't wait until we get our hands on any kind of fire arm.

Storm Howler, my Hellsguard lady, is a skilled tracker/outdoors person if he ever needs something in the wilderness found. Arlas Taeve is a skilled healer/white mage, although I see your guy and him getting along the least. And Ariadne Lekas would be a willing employee if he wants anyone to, well, disappear. >.> However I don't usually try and do such things with other player characters, but if you want to cook up a little mini storyline I'd love for her to have an actual employer! Totally understand if it's too dark lol. Keep in mind however that all of my guys are lowbies since I'm so new to the game, so it might take a while before what they say they can do becomes possible in game! I'm a little pokey when it comes to repeating quests/stories/etc.

Can't wait to see you guys open up recruitment again! I love the concept and you all seem like really awesome RPers/writers.

Keep in mind that due to the nature of the game you're going to see younger/20ish characters... When you get into the 50s-60s range, it starts to get a little eyebrow raising to see these guys out adventuring. So unless they're just side characters or the adventuring is OOC you probably won't see it. Also the character creator itself, of course, and the lack of aged options.

(whispers quietly your concept looks cool and i'm glad you guys have had such an influx of members! i can't wait to see when you reopen recruitment, both you and the other guild i was looking at are closed for the moment!! @_@)

Arlas Taeve - Hyur He's a healer and I love RP, so if your character gets injured or needs a healer for a friend feel free to scrawl an urgent message if you need a prompt. Heck, if you're below/around level 17-18 and die, I can come revive you if I'm online/not in a dungeon. I'll make that trek if it means RP at the end!

Feel free to whisper me on Arlas Taeve whenever you see me in-game! I'm still hashing out his ffxiv backstory but he's supposed to come from something of a proper background (though he's a little rough around the edges), so they might get along!

Oh wow Siobhain what a welcome! (/_\) Thank you so much!! I'll definitely check out Intermission since I'm NA (EST as well!). Also thanks you everyone else who welcomed me ahhhh you guys are super nice. The Grindstone looks awesome. That sounds like a great LS, I'll have to whisper you in game once I get Storm Howler established, which I'm super excited to do because like you said, omg Hellsguard ladies. Kira would probably also be all over dueling/sparring. I actually stink at playing multiple characters, but I try anyways. I managed Arlas and Storm Howler well enough in their GW2 incarnations, but we'll see how this works out in FFXIV! And thanks for the WM lore! I'm not 100% how I'll apply it yet but it's definitely cool to see in mind. Also... No wardrobe system (yet) makes me sad. ;.; Arlas had some awful questing gear for a few levels, I need a cool outfit to RP in, dangit!

Hey everyone! I just bought FFXIV a few days ago and so far I've had a blast with it. I'd like to start RPing eventually, so I figure I'd make a post here. I've been roleplaying for 6+ years and playing MMOs for about the same length of time, from WoW to GW2 to SWTOR to RIFT (the last of which I just started, actually, though I'm not on the RP server). Sadly after four or five years of WoW most of my friends have since quit I've just lost my enthusiasm for that game. It's been ages since I've had a good RP group so I'm really excited to jump into FF lore! I have never actually played a Final Fantasy game before and while the lore seems a little sparse I really love what I've seen so far. Here are some of the characters I've made so far and their (eventual) intended jobs. Arlas Taeve: Midlander hyur, white mage. I don't know enough about hyurs in Limsa Lominsa, but he's tentatively from there. Very healing oriented, probably did a lot in the Calamity but again, I'm -completely- new to FF so I have to do some more reading/questing before I have anything super solid from him. However, he's currently my main PVE character and I'm excited to hash out his story! Storm Howler: My Roegadyn lady! Hellsguard, obviously, and to eventually be a Dragoon. She's from where most of the Hellsguard are from (that volcano, I think??) but ran away from home at a rather young age. I'd love to tie her into Ishgard since her original incarnation was much more suited to snowy lands, but I don't know if there are any Roegadyn in Ishgard since they seem kind of closed off/reclusive. Kira Damji: I'm not quite sure where she's from. Possibly the "east" since her name is a little foreign, but I don't know what's really over there or what being from that area would entail. Kira is gruff and a little abrasive to hide the fact that she's shy/socially awkward. She's very devoted to being a swordswoman/eventual Paladin. She also has an intense fear of deep water from almost drowning at a young age, so it's a good thing she starts in Ul'dah! ALSO... I have no idea how linkshells work, but if there are any good OOC RP coordination ones on Balmung I'd love to hang (after you explain how I join them). Or if there are any FCs out there who are recruiting and like the look of my characters (and come on, who doesn't need a white mage? He's a nice guy!) I'd love to check you guys out!
