In a word....yes. Writing one is great and is a great creative outlet for you personally. But RPing in a game is about establishing relationships with others and interacting with them. That means being somewhat socialable. A back story is great but after you reveal it over the campfire or the tavern over a night of drinks then what? Find out what kind of personality you have and your flaws to get a good idea of how you will interact with others. This is what really will give you the in road to good lasting RP. Back stories good for you not necessarily good for RP with others.

Really like the idea of making the Tellah idea a bit your own and having those experiments maybe turn out not so well. Adds a comic quirk to your character and reminds me of old Doc Brown: Gotta love his zany ways! Kinda like Tellah I guess in that way! I say go forward with this all the way! Also, yes I do hope the defector tag will be picked up by somebody here and ran with. I REALLY want to meet someone like that in game. That would have such great RP arcs to play off of! On a side note, thanks to everyone for really making this thread explode! It is nice to see creative minds (no, not me, you guys!) getting energized and letting ideas poor out of themselves! I hope we have more threads like this in the future to really welcome creativity here! Again, thanks all of you! Let's keep this going! Konner

Hey! Welcome to the RPC and super honored that you made this thread your first post! Thank you very much for that! If you have any questions about the RPC just ask me or anyone else here. Many are very welcoming and helpful! About your character idea that you may port over.....in a word...YES! I have been there and done that on swg and loved loved loved it! The three things listed above do need to happen, but if you have an honest, open discussion with those wanting to RP with you as this character ooc in forums like this, it will not be a problem. Not everyone will recognize you as a super villain, but do not worry about them. Find the group of people that will! Start with me! Ask LandStander too! Yes, these things would take sometime to establish, but as you have seen elsewhere, the pay off is HUGE! DO THIS! START NOW! DON'T WAIT! GO FORWARD! MOVE AHEAD! WHIP IT GOOD! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIEVqFB4WUo Now, move away from this screen and do it! P.S.: Let's talk about this too :0 Lizzo! I have loved your avatar from the first day I saw it! How classic. Takes me back to NES. Had to have that Black Mage to do what you needed to do in FF1. My friend, you HAVE to go forward with this idea! Good gods when I read your post my mind raced with all those anime type groups that harass and do bad things while being cool at it. The first thing I thought of was the Warlords from Ronin Warriors! Anubis is and always will be my favorite anime character! Dais is just way toooo cool to even put into words! This would be sooooo awesome! Please do this! Good gods they would be the perfect fit to go against The Seven! It would be over the top anime good times for all! DO IT! Let me know!

Hey this sounds great! Maybe we will catch each other in game! Be looking for me and I will do the same for you! Konner Hey! Wow I read your idea and man it is great! I made a thread along time ago entitled PC Villains. I would love to work with you and maybe even habe an in for you to come in contact with myself and the crew I run with! We have waited along time to find someone who could pop in and out and give us trouble. Maybe you are that guy?

I do wonder if you might really expand on this and change classes in and out of battle as kinda that 'jack-of-all trades' type thing. It would really be cool! Also, if you do the wild dye looking clown suit with all different types and colors of gear, that would be sooooooo Gogo and sooooo FF. Anyways, sounds cool regardless. Maybe you and I can talk more about this? I would like to. Depends how things develop! See, the thing about Helena is she's pretty smart and naturally talented.. but her problem is she has trouble focusing on just one thing at a time. An easy parrallel would be a university student who keeps switching degrees, getting great grades, but never finishing any. Obviously, she is thirsty for knowledge.. but isn't quite so wise yet. Smart, but not necessarily wise (that might come with age and/or experience). Also, being so spread out in her studies and those studies being sometimes radically different (the heavily scientific approach of the arcanist versus the spiritual approach of the conjurer is the perfect example) means she could end up forgetting important things or mixing them up and either miscasting or just not being able to do it at all. To complicate things further she also dabbles in the more martial classes so she's like... a combat sage! o_O Ha! This sounds more like a mime then the guy above! Anyways, great idea!

I know of one who's making it a big point to keep it as secret as possible so that he can dole it small hints here and there in-game, which I think is probably the best way to do it (otherwise you have issues with metagaming and the like). If you think about it, a true defector would try to avoid letting it be known as much as possible to avoid the very trust issues that you're talking about. Now that you know, you're going to have to analyze everyone you run into to figure out whether or not they may be a defector... Ha! That was well done! Thanks for raising my RP paranoia level to 11!

Hey welcome! Glad to have you here! If you have any questions just ask! Would like to know more about your character whenever you get it fleshed out. Like the strong willed character thing you got started there!

Welcome to the RPC and glad to have here! Sounds like you got a quirky character idea there that would be lots of fun! Wonder if you will lean a little evil even? If you have any questions just ask!

This sounds interesting. If you plan to play on Balmung maybe we can RP together to get a personality hashed out. I would like to try to RP with you. The sage concept is a good one! Yep I rolled her on Balmung, my desire to deal with the most populated server was not strong and I actually like High level peeps both from an rp sense as "Those are the guys in the know already" and from a mechanical sense. as for getting a personality hashed, its come to be my perspective that every plan I have for a character is quickly redefined by her interaction with others, they properly take on a "voice" once they have interacted with others. This is true! I hope then maybe we can get together this weekend! I would love to! Not so much a scholar type more of a curious person who spends a lot of her time in the books and scrolls. Her father was a thaumaturge who was quite the wiz when it came to history and magical research. So, following in his footsteps and honoring his death after the calamity she left her quaint home in Gridania with her mother to move to Ul'dah (her mother went to Limsa - her father's hometown). She's already got a lead in Conjuration due to her mother's family specialising in healing aether. I've had some time to think of her backstory so much due to beta's being so far apart. T~T Well done! Sounds like you really have the history thought out!

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Sage_(Final_Fantasy_III) Oh, excellent idea! Any special quirks and/or traits about your character? Are you just on a quest to master both magic types? She has taken the assumed Name Arete Sophoi because she doesn't want to be seen as another stupid "tribal" Miq(I figure with all the ages there was time for some period to have had a language in the past that was vaguely greekish). She's overconfident and probably not quite as smart as she thinks she is. She's working on learning all three magical arts with arcanist the primary focus(From the class quests its played as the most intellectual of the three magical arts). She definately thinks of herself as mentally primary that doesn't mean she won't dabble outside her quest goals but I am generally going to treat any time she's playing in any DOW class as weaker than other members who are more primarily that. That's generally what i have currently, I haven't had much chance to see how she'd play off of other rpers during the weekend. This sounds interesting.

Welcome to the RPC! Very glad to have you here! Really love the first idea you have there of the arranged marriage and running off. I think the whole learning of the outside world first hand would be great. If you have any questions just ask. I would like to RP with you if you go the first idea way. That would be really cool! Konner

If you do take Helena down the sage road would they be the wise thirsting for knowledge type or the quirky I can't remember everything I have learned ones or even something else entirely? I am curious.

Also, I had this in another thread awhile back, so I thought I would throw it in here too for the new members around here! Dark Knight (Fallen Knight): http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs28/i/2008/086/2/d/Lord_Soth_by_6_fingers.jpg[/img] Who can forget the great Lord Soth? Dark Knight as a job will come to FF14 someday, and it will be grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat! But, what about the fallen knight? One who broke their vows, dishonored themselves and went down the path of vile deeds and evil? Yes, I know it has been done before. However, I am sure there are those out there who wish to do it again! Come, be known to us! Having done a thesis paper in college, without showing too much of my age here, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back when on Jim Jones I can say with some straight belief that pure evil was in this man. I think the mere mention of cults always brings him to mind. As such, an evil cult type thing is something that would be very unique and very cool for other to interact with. I would STRONGLY encourage others here to seek out LandStander here and see what can be worked out on this!

Welcome to the RPC! Honored your first post was in this humble thread! I wonder if Lan Darklyn would care to try their hand at the Kefka mantle? Ah, my dear friend! So good to hear from you again! I do hope this thread sparks some to come forward and perhaps, if you would, maybe you could spearhead the formation of such a group?

Here comes a listing! A Mime perhaps? http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/319/a/a/the_mimic_gogo___ff_vi_by_stephaniechateau-d5l48m5.jpg[/img] Now I know we can't change weapons in battle, but what about someone who changed classes all the time? Of course this would require an intense amount of grinding, but hey, I am sure many would be up to the task. Gogo, pictured above, could talk, so you wouldn't necessarily have to be mute, but it might be fun! Also, think about dyeing all different kinds of gear like the above pic of Gogo different colors! Man would you stand out! A Defector: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m33l8vJAma1qj86bro1_500.jpg[/img] Yes, I know there are some out there playing defectors from the Empire. I just have yet to meet any! Celes is and always will be one of my fav characters. I just think that kind of story makes it so fun to roleplay with cause there are always trust issues that creates a very cool interaction dynamic with the people involved. A Sage: http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs30/f/2008/155/4/5/FF4___Tellah_by_Enkida.jpg[/img] What about if you had mastery over white and black magic, but you could not always remember what to cast when? Tellah was cool in FF4, but what if it was all done by chance? Yes, people would hate you in a party, but if it was an RP party, my god would it be a blast! Imagine if it was all random what you would cast next! Crazy, I know. I know this one is far fetched, but just an idea to explore. The Extremist: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/248/8/8/kefka_del_final_fantasy_by_yamilmiyo-d48xpm7.jpg[/img] Let's be honest, we need a BAD GUY. Yes, the idea has been discussed. Yes you would alienate yourself from a lot of the population. Some of us, myself included, have played the role and know how rewarding it can be when 70% + of a server hates you for good reasons. It's hard to be bad, but it is fun. This is Final Fantasy. That means great stories. Yes, we have the Empire. We need a PC villain to get that extra RP mile out of the experience. No, you don't have to kill us, disfigure us, or always win or loose. It can work, if some of us (which is why I am asking here), work to make it work! I hope all four of these are out there SOMEWHERE! Know now, by this posting, you are wanted! Please come forward so we can work together to have a great time in this great game! Thank you for your time in reading this and any responses with desires to be one of the above listed character types! And to everyone here, and I mean the ENTIRE RPC, in the words of the late great Sam Cooke "Let the Good Times Roll", for EVERYONE no matter what server you are on or where you are in this world come this weekend/ Tuesday! Sincerely, Konner

Welcome! If you have any questions just ask! We are honored and glad to have you here! If you ever make you way to Balmung maybe we will see each in game. In any case have fun and glad to have you! Konner

Those of you interested in playing an evil character as a lead villain to an adventuring group, I would like to talk to you. Please contact me.

This is great! Soooo glad he is in. Wouldn't be FF w/o him. Great find on the pic!

Hmmm. See my SIG below.

Greetings really like your draft idea for your character! I would love to know more. Welcome to the RPC and just ask about anything you wanna know. Also contact me if you wanna share more ideas about your character. Love the idea! Konner

Level 25 GLA played since 1.0 beta and after the gil reduction for AAR I will have Like 600 some odd gil! FEAR ME NON-LEGACY PLAYERS! Joking aside I actually hope I can bum some gil off of people for repair costs at the start of the game....no seriously....for real!

Welcome so very glad to have you here! Great to see a lalafell around! Great name too! Can't wait to hear more about your character. I already like the pic! Need anything just ask! Konner
