I've been thinking on this. If I were to do this I think I'd alter it to where the entire group were Hydaelyn's chosen as opposed to one. But after thinking on it some more I think I've decided to lay the idea to rest. Too many ifs and buts. Roleplaying is each person acting out their own story in cooperation with others. My purposes are more broad and less individual, and while it may not be a bad thing, it doesn't really jive with the general idea of RP. So I'll probably be better off using less social resources (aside from sharing and what not, of course) to get my inspiration. Thanks for the replies, everyone. It's nice to know this community is kind enough to 'gently' let someone know they might be on the verge of irritating a lot of people. haha.

That's a good idea! Thanks! I'll take that into consideration!

That prevalent, huh? I'm glad I asked about this first. :3 By no means do I intend to hoard the spotlight. Just trying to take advantage of whatever resources I can get a hold of.

Right. That's what I've been thinking. It's why I wanted to run this by the general audience before taking the idea and running with it. Last thing I want to do is be pompous or self-promoting, as that's not why I'm doing this.

[This is a fairly lengthy post. All TL;DR's are completely understandable. :3] Hello All, I haven't been around much, but I've been playing FFXIV on and off since beta. Roleplay is something I've wanted to do but just never had the time to invest in it to a point where I'd be satisfied. . . part of the reason being that I devote most of my creative energies elsewhere, which relates partly to what I'm posting about. I recently decided to start a little mini-project of sorts. I'm studying sequential art/comics/manga in hopes of making a living off of it one day, and I'd like to try a short story based off of FFXIV, specifically the first battle with Iceheart, aka Shiva. The story would be from a much more narrative angle than the way it's portrayed in the game.The story of FFXIV is one of my favorite aspects of the game, and I would love to portray it in a way that anyone and everyone who loves fantasy and drama can enjoy, even if they're not a fan of the MMO scene. So where does RP come into all of this? Well, it was my initial intention to try and start an FC and get a RP group together, in order to generate some ideas for characters, scenarios and situations that could work well in the format I'm thinking of. But herein lies a problem. . . I'm basing the main character's appearance off of the character I made in game, who would be the Warrior of Light, and as such would have a certain degree of "plot protection" and what not. The last thing I'd want to do is try and come up with a situation that puts me at an advantage of any sort over others, or try and put myself in 'god mode' when playing as this character. I understand this is highly unfavorable in the RP community, and so it's kind of discouraged me from pursuing this any further. But I'd like to know what you guys think. The character itself is extremely flawed (any further details might spoil potential stories to come), but it doesn't change the fact that he would be the Warrior of Light, and everyone else would be. . . well, adventurers. So positive or negative, share your opinions on this! I just want to see what the general opinion of the community would be about something like this. Thanks guys, and look me up on Balmung sometime! I just got transferred there the other day! Take care, laddies and lasses! ^^

The Twelves Guild is a coalition of mercenaries and craftsmen with the goal of defending Eorzea from the treachery of the Primals. Founded only in name by young and wreckless swashbuckler Droken Dareheart, the Twelves' Guild seeks to start from the ground up, funding their exploits by taking advantage of the economy and slaying their enemies with a home made armory.

I'll be sure and give you a ring! It's really nice to see how open the community is! I can breath a sigh of relief.

Hello everyone! My real name is Luke, an I'm an 18 year old high school graduate from Tennessee. I'm currently saving money and preparing to move to Japan in October to attend the Yamasa Institute and study Japanese, with the intent of becoming a professional translator. I love Japanese culture and I'm also a huge Final Fantasy fan, FFXIV included. I only just recently re-upped my FFXIV subscription after playing through beta and a month or so out of beta, before taking a break. Now I'm taking a slight break from life stress and FFXIV is the perfect solution for that. XP I've always been interested in Roleplaying but, to be honest, I've never really known of a way to... start. I couldn't really find a definitive answer on how you begin, so I just left it alone for a while. But the more I play FFXIV the more interested I am in trying Roleplay. I'd really like to find a Free Company that I can join that will sort of help guide me on the right path, per say (not spoon feed me but at least help me not make a fool of myself). I was originally planning on starting my own FC but I highly doubt it'd be wise to start a roleplay FC and then tell everyone "yeah... I've never roleplayed before". So either way, I would really enjoy getting to know some people and joining in some roleplay, even though I've never RP'ed. My character in game is Droken Dareheart on the Gilgamesh server. Glad to be joining the community and hoping to make some new friends!
