Welcome to the RPC, hope you enjoy it here!

Behold my fail! Might as well put a face to my...face. The only pic I have of my Claire cosplay was this one. T_T The transfer I put on the back got damaged by rain at London expo. D: D:

Yeah, I find that the EU has nicer vanity items and they also have an emote tab in the shop area, but it has nothing in it, so I dunno if that means they plan on implementing new emotes to purchase...wish it were a walk button they were implementing. I'll most likely go onto the US version I'm buying ESO once it comes out, I really enjoyed beta but it seems like it needs quite a bit of work in certain aspects. I've been checking out the TSW videos on youtube and it's seriously appealing, especially if there's so much RP in it.

You guys are really making me want to try TSW and rejoin Tera. >_< I have EU and US copies of Tera...not sure which one to go back on!

Elezen Name: Delanaux Guillaume Elezen clan: Wildwood Gender: Male Timezone: GMT Looking for?: Friends, rivals, anything really. 2. Does your character fit the 'common' lore of your elezen or are they singular? I feel Del does fit in with the lore. As I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to the lore, I have kept his background fairly simple. Del's wiki page 3. What are your Rp limits, if any? I'd prefer to stay away from perma-death, but other than that I don't have much of a limit. If you have a question though just ask me ooc.

I've wanted to post some screenies for ages but always been too shy to do so, but I made this Elezen lady last night and I am so pleased with her

Welcome to ze forum! Hope you enjoy it here

Welcome! I'm new here myself and getting into the FF rp scene If you see me about feel free to kick me or poke me :3

No worries! I didn't think you were claiming you were being ignored. It's just a common mistake that happens a lot when trying to jump into some random RP with a group, so I figured I'd toss that out there just in case. I myself tend to be somewhat shy and anxious when approaching a group of total strangers, so I understand how you feel. That's okay then I didn't want you thinking I was saying people were ignoring me or anything like that or like blaming it on people or something. :3 It's my own insecurities that do it.

Thank you so much everyone for the lovely and helpful responses, I really do appreciate it so much!

@Tiergan I never claimed anyone was ignoring me,(being ignored is the norm when RP'ing on wow unless you're popular on my server ) what I was saying is that I lack the nerve to even begin an RP(I've tried in other games and had people tell me that they are RP'ing in that area or that I'm wrong, etc) and just am unsure how to join in without pissing people off. I know some people wont respond to OOC /tells since they only respond IC, and I know a lot of people in one place means a chat log spam wherein speech can be lost in someones log. My problem is more...I just don't know how to network with other RP'ers and sort of, join in. I don't want to just leap into someone's RP just for reasons like it perhaps being a plot they don't want/need others in and so on. I hope I'm not coming off as arrogant or something, implying people are being 'means' and such on FF. I don't think that at all, I just worry I'll annoy the crap out of fellow RP'ers since they all seem so good at it! A lot of folk who RP I often find already know each other and I worry I intrude on them is all? Which is why I need to try my hand at cold /tell I mean I do definitely need to get used to it compared to WoW, but most of my main MMO rp'ing experience comes from WoW where a lot of the time, elitists in the RP 'hang outs' told you to sod off. It's kind of what I'm expecting when I talk to most people on MMO's now and its a hard habit to break. >_< Part and partial of it is it's just me being a bit of a loser and letting my worries stop me.

@Apl_J Oh god, don't get me wrong, I don't expect people to walk up to me and start RP'ing at all! D: I'm sorry if it came across as that. I do want to approach people but I just sort of stop and think 'well would they want me to bug them?' or 'I'm not as good as them' and so on. I kind of scare myself off a bit. Partly anxiety, partly because I'm so used to people in other MMO's telling me to bugger off. I'm sorry if it came across as me being contrary or anything! D: Thanks all, I probably come across as the worst person ever As I say, I am so so used to being told to get lost or to go away when trying to join in on other games, that I've kind of schooled myself into thinking it'll happen here and so I might hang around RP areas and instead people watch rather than join in >_< @Xieveral I worry about that as well, that people might just be like 'Your character sucks, gtfo' or something, so I tend to sort of back off and watch others RP. Delainaut reminds me of my guy Del, he's quiet and shy, bit socially awkward. Kind of like me. Where as my Dragoon who I plan on transferring is really calm, cool, collected and bad ass. Thank you so much for all the replies everyone, it's all really encouraging to hear that people honestly don't mind. I will definitely try the cold /tell thing at some point and see if I can't network a bit with people. I do need to get WoW out of my head a lot, as it's one of the main reasons I'm so cautious about other players.

Thank you for all the responses everyone :3 I admit ,I do tend to over worry, it comes from having social anxiety issues, sadly it tends to follow me over into the internet as well and on MMO's! >_< I shall attempt to message at least one person when I next log in, as you suggested C'kayah and see where it gets me. I admit, I totally did not think about putting an RP tag into my search info for people to see, so I shall also do this. L'Tao Loha would probably be someone Del would talk to, more so if she's an info broker, since he's not really getting any results at the moment. I am also bringing my dragoon over to Balmung at some point as well, once I am paid from work, so I'm also going to see how things go with him too. He's more brash so he'd be more likely to say things to people than Del, who is quiet. But yes, thank you so much guys :3

Thanks Mastersticks11. :3 I'll add you next time I log on after work. I'm not too sure how to get connections at the mo, I am in an OOC/LFRP linkshell called Europa, but at times I'm a bit too shy to say much. >_< @Ember My online times vary with my work since it's shift work. But mostly I play in the evening or through the day if I am off work. I'm in the UK so I got by GMT. If you do want to discuss some potential RP between our charries, feel free to drop me a PM on here @Faye I was looking at an RP FC at one point, but work has side tracked me. I think it was The Travellers Guild and I remember looking at the page and thinking I might not be up to par with the recruitment process. >_< Ildur, if you have solutions, please tell me why, whenever I make a peanut butter sammich, the peanut butter ruins the bread by not spreading. T_T I joke, thank you for your points, i appreciate all the input

Hokies, I find that in game I am really struggling to RP with people, mainly because I; A: Get worried they will be mad I interrupted them. B: Find everyone else is way more talented in RP. C: Am shy as hell, even online. (it's taken me a good half hour to write this and read it over. And over...before getting the nerve to post it) D: My wiki page is no where near as good/enriched as most on there. D: Essentially, I don't want to rock the boat and have people be angry with me. Perhaps I am being over cautious, but it comes from years on Argent Dawn (WoW), Guild wars, Tera Online and Aion where the RP'ers were well established and disliked the 'newbs'. As such, I figure making a thread on here wouldn't hurt. I hope. D: Basically at the mo on Balmung I have my Arcanist, Delanaux Guillaume and I'm looking for something plot wise I can get him involved in? He's pretty easy going, sweet and a bit naive, so I'd love to get him into something where he's encouraged to shed that kind demeanor or something else where I can try out his characterization. I do have a few RP plans for him myself, as at the moment he is searching for his brothers, who have disappeared so if anyone wouldn't mind me approaching them, asking about his brother's and so on, then drop me a line perhaps? I have other plans in this storyline of his, wherein he finds out what has become of his brothers but I've not progressed to that yet, since I know about one person in game >_< And am a bit too shy to always talk on Europa. Failing that, and people just don't like my guy or suggestions, any tips on how to actually slide into an RP that's already on going?
