Einrid

Thanks for the reply! I will definitely look into Phoenix Down; it looks like just the thing to get me into some RP. Hopefully we'll cross paths ICly and can swap stories and knowledge. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the lore, so it might be good for me/Ein to meet people who can provide some details.

I. Basic Info Characters: Einrid Hillcrest Primary character: Einrid Hillcrest I'm planning Ein's character in my head as a roving naturalist and adventurer. He is greatly fascinated by and respectful of the natural world and travels to study and protect it. I'm open to having him travel Eorzea for both learning and adventure, but Gridania/The Black Shroud will always be his home, so I'd like to find (or start) some RP there. His main class/job will be CNJ/WHM, with BTN and CRP on the side. Linkshells: None (yet) Primary RP linkshell: None (yet) II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Light/Medium I enjoy RPing and spending time IC, but view it as the icing on the cake. There are times when I'll have specific goals in-game, or can't be on long, where I will play OOC. However, there are also many times where I'm playing specifically to RP, or do things IC. Views on RP combat and injuries: I've only dabbled in RP combat and injuries very lightly. I'm all for trying it out, but it seems like it would complicate things if I'm trying to play as a character who ICly is gravely injured. I think short-term injuries or handicaps are more doable. I don't currently see myself as interested in the death of a character I'm RPing. Views on IC romance: Honestly, I've never thought about it or had it come up for myself. I'm perfectly fine with others having IC relationships. I think I would avoid an actual romantic relationship. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): Seems fine to me. I've seen it done before. It definitely makes RP more interesting when you have to consider others in detail. Views on lore: I think that if you're going to RP, then you should be following the lore, including character backgrounds, abilities, names, etc. If there are holes in the established lore, then there is some wiggle room there, but things should still fit in with the context of the game. In places where lore and game mechanics butt heads, again, there's wiggle room as long as things are explained in a logical manner. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): In terms of IC vs. OOC, I think that any chat function can be used either way as long as it is predetermined and/or rules for exceptions are established, and it is considerate of other players. III. Other Info Country:USA Timezone:Central Contact info: Contact me in game.

Hello all! I am a new player of FFXIV on Gilgamesh. I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan, and I'm working on getting a good grasp of the lore for this game. MMORPG Background/RP Experience I've RP'ed previously in old-school vanilla WoW and, more recently, in Guild Wars 2, and I am looking to get involved with the RP scene in FFXIV. I've mostly been in moderate RP groups, probably IC around 50% of the time. Character Info My main is a male Midlander hyur named Einrid Hillcrest. I'm going for a Gridanian theme with him. His main class is CNJ (for now) and will be WHM. I'm also working on botanist and carpenter on the side. I'm still developing his character, but I'm strongly considering doing a naturalist sort of character. An eco-friendly type who respects the elementals of the Black Shroud and studies the natural world. I normally RP chaotic-good types. How did you learn about the coalition? I usually scope out the RP scene of an MMORPG I'm interested in playing before I start, so I've been lurking for a bit. What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? I'd probably like to stick to what I'm used to, a medium role-player. I enjoy RP, but I'm not always in the mood. I'm interested in the lore and stories behind the worlds of MMOs, and I believe that people should adhere to the lore and rules of the world. I do have a couple of questions I was hoping to get answers to. Are there any RP free companies based out of Gridania? Or any RP hotspots in the Black Shroud? I've been keeping an eye out, but haven't seen anything obvious. Thanks, and I look forward to meeting you in-game.
