Most people kind of said it for me already, but I think as long as it can be explained it should be alright Lili has her chocobo and out in Coerthas in a sanctuary is the behemoth her husband found as a cub when he was 'alive'. Since the mount notes say a woman originally found a collection of them as young and raised them as mounts I figured it wouldnt be too far out there for someone else to do the same.

On a table just below where the two were perched sat Lili. Pale blonde hair loosely tied into a bun atop her head, she had a clear glass of a reddish brown liquid situated near a collection of papers and reports. Many of them looked formal, of a business variety of some sort. Bills, list of supplies, a haphazardly written grocery list...it went on and on. The work of a leader was never done after all. The older woman found the din of the coming and going patrons to be oddly relaxing instead of stuffed upstairs in the usually quiet company house. On a chair besides her in a tiny basket was Mikh'a, snoozing as toddlers often did with his bright orange and red tail hanging over the edge and his fuzzy ears drooped with slumber. Occasionally Lili would lean over to smooth aside his hair, but the little Keeper child was dead to the world after a big lunch and a lullaby. Hearing voices besides her in a much closer proximity then the rest of the place, she tilted her head up. Spotting the Lalafell and Elezen conversing had her curiosity piqued, and overhearing the woman she offered her a sympathetic grimace. "Looks like you had a long day, dear."

My miqo would likely be interested, though she'll be limited to what she can do for a while since she's pregnant.

*going to take a slightly perverted, comedic route with this one* To have my own harem full of women like Jewel Staite and men like Ian Somerhalder. *eyebrow waggle*

You got C'kayah's group that I know of, and SynRP. Otherwise? I'm not sure of any others, at least none truly outright about it.

Best place is Ul'dah since many of the RPers are there via the Quicksand. Of course there's RP all over by as someone new it's a good place to start. If you want to learn more about the lore, check out the levequests, FATEs, and read NPC dialogue to find little gems of lore wisdom here and there. There are also threads spanning over the forums on various topics if you use the search bar to see what everyone has contributed

Li finally gets his Xelra back!

Personally I'd do Alchemy and Culinarian next You get Tricks of the Trade and Steady Hand 2 which can both help with HQing items for other classes. Also: Food and FC buffs go a long, long way!

Thank you! <3

Lalafells as tanks. Meh. Just can't see it as an IC thing.

[align=center]Jealousy: It's Normal [/align] Yes ladies and gentlemen. Jealousy is very, VERY normal in polyamorous relationships both in RP and IRL. Jealousy is a basic human/mortal emotion no matter one's relationship and romantic preference. You can see it highlighted in multiple articles like this, and especially this from Psychology Today. As the article highlights in one specific line that I think explains it the best: In a sense, a little jealousy is needed for every relationship. Even those that are developed in an RP setting between two characters and two players (or, since we're talking poly here, more then two ). But here's the thing: like with anything, too much of one element isn't always good. Even in polyamory, being jealous as you can imagine doesn't let those kind of relationships thrive for very long. I'm going to split this into sections addressing different things that could help those who RP or want to RP polyamorous characters as well as how to handle RP scenarios of jealousy in general. [align=center]Tips for handling RP scenarios of jealousy Have your character take a little walk. Simple, but an effective method for handling it ICly. Especially if you need to afk to take care of something anyways or need to help a friend or FC mate with a dungeon run, instance, etc. Wait for an opening to pull aside the object of affection (the reason for the jealousy) and talk to them about it. Have the character let them know how they were feeling if its within their persona to do so or just have a quiet moment away from the jealousy with that person so the character can reassure themselves. If it leads into a conversation on the subject that always can go to very interesting developments in the roleplay! For a more 'dramatic' approach (everyone enjoys a little drama I've found) if the characters are together more officially or even if things are still new, the subtle physical displays of affection can work wonders. Especially if they are reciprocated in the same manner. Sometimes this goes well, sometimes it doesn't. If its jealousy when one of your partners is with another person, take the time to spend time with your Secondary/Primary/other significant other or even with someone whom your character is starting to develop something with. Putting forth that jealous energy to other things can not only get the character's mind off the subject but can be beneficial to another needed area. Personal character development is also a good place to apply this energy as well! If it's OOC jealousy in relation to RP, step away from the computer. Get out of your state of immersion or being 'in the character's head'. Do something physical like run or sit up or dance around your room to Lindsey Stirling (hey, she's awesome, shuttup). But never make any serious or rash decisions if your OOC is heavily affected by IC. Those who don't feel/aren't affected by jealousy [align=left]Sometimes it's difficult when a character isn't one who experiences or even understands jealousy. Most of the time when characters are in a dynamic with one like this, they find their own ways to work it out. Long talks to meet each other on middle ground and all that other relationship stuff! Here's some things that I've found helpful for others since many of my characters over the years have leaned towards not being ones to experience much jealousy. Recently I've experimented with that, but every character is different just like every person. [align=center]Be especially open about emotions. Be especially honest about emotions. Be polite but be frank about feelings. If a nonjealous character might be doing something to excite jealousy, there's always the chance they don't realize it. If your character realizes this, just mention it to them when alone or where a possible follow-up conversation can ensue. Sometimes when one doesn't experience jealousy it can be hard to notice when something they're doing may antagonize those feelings. If jealousy is specific towards a person (like if a rival was to flirt with one's SO but if anyone else were to do it it wouldn't matter), let the partner know that. Always helps to be aware. As a follow up to the previous comment, if a character knows triggers for jealousy and lets others know about it, it can help for the future. [/align] [/align] [/align]

Try to keep the topic on the poly guide discussion, please. It's what this thread is for Like I've mentioned a little ways back, I have my own opinion on miqo'te and how many RPers portray them, and since the conversation on this thread keeps shifting back to it I might just make a separate thread for it after all unless someone beats me to it.

Oops! I wanted to reply to this sooner but totes forgot and ended up looking for it in the other thread lol And very true, you have a point. Though from the messages I have received in private, there's a surprising amount of people who appreciate what's being highlighted thus far because it helps them better portray a character who practices this sort of thing as well as sheds light on a way of life many look at with nose wrinkles and go "Well, that's just an excuse to be a hussy" even though it existed in history before even Christianity became a thing. Plus, it's sometimes hard to RP outside of one's comfort zone even if it may be interesting for a story. I have met those who are monogamous IRL who want to roleplay a character who isn't but who have a hard time toeing the line without drifting to one extreme or another. Also vice versa since I sometimes find it difficult to RP a monogamous character because I am not a naturally monogamous person in my day to day dealings. There are those RPers out there who can do it easily enough, and kudos to them! For those that may need help, here's a guide to shed light and give some pointers

Welcome! If you have any questions, poke around. We're a super friendly and cozy little community! If you need an FC to help get you on your feet character and otherwise, check out the Free Wing Society on the Linkshell Hal dealio We're getting some people together who are getting plans set up for the 3.0 drop and the new content to come! Cheers, Lili

Eh, I think it honestly depends on what a miqo'tes family background is. Just like with any sort of family, some stay traditional even with the changing times.

Right now a lot of it depends on the lore. However, personality wise for myself my character is going to be similar (to a degree) to Rikku from FFX-2 with the similar energy and zest. Even if the race itself is more uptight or the lore leans in that direction she'll be purposefully leading away from it. I'll be using the Astro. class for the card aspect. She will be a gambler and a card trickster I want to think of more but meeehhhhh. I'm iffy because I don't want to come up with all of these things only for the lore to point in a completely different direction.

[align=center]The FC has had its slow season due to many of our regular members having increased work loads and coursework to finish up for the end of the year. Look for some updates here soon including a tentative write up of our plans come 2.5 and for 3.0![/align]

Hey, in Supernatural the King of Hell became a demon because he made a deal to give his schlong an extra few inches to be in the double digits. Sometimes you don't even need a good reason for stuff like that.

And amusingly, the other Christmas gift is the completion of my project at work (HBO GO for the FireTV), making it so that I don't have to work with Amazon and the FireTV folks ever again! Yay for the work thing, but also reading that you said 'jammies' made me gigglesnort.

I know I told you this via PM but thank you sooooo much <3

Lili's is for her children, Locke, the Society, and everyone else in that order

I got invited to intend two weddings thus far. And Lili's getting proposed to any day now so I'm sure at one point we'll do the marriage system dealio Super excited to see what the weddings will be like as an attendee.
