Currently not on... but you probably mean where do i usually hang out. Uh Limsa and Gridania tbh. Yes I see most of the Wall of Text in Ul'dah but I have still only ever seen the Walls no matter where I go. Maybe its when I play? The people of the wall only come out when I make time to head over to my Balmung character? Edit: Also I apologize if I take awhile to reply. I have like 12 Pages open across the forums and the Wiki. Rules, Etiquette, etc. If im going to RP Ima do it in a way that pisses off the least amount of people.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to just "Get into it"? My biggest problem is I do talking RP more than typing and the wall of text some people put it is viciously intimidating. I have seen almost no one else just the Wall of text people around Balmung.

Oh thanks. I didnt know there was a dupe post. OH i accidentally clicked Post when i meant Preview. Then clicked it again when i was done. Maybe thats it.

I've always enjoyed the idea of rp in mmos. The problem is I'm a little spaghetti-monster who has trouble putting my foot forward when it comes to just starting. I'm that kid who sits in the corner quietly enjoying himself and the fact he just gets to be here, never actually joining in unless "forced" to and I do it with all the gusto of a deer in the headlights. I spend more time making characters than being/playing them. I want to fix that. I guess to make this easier I'll just use the Template at this point. --MMORPG background You name it I've probably played it for at least a week. --RP experience I play D&D with friends. Much easier to RP when you know the people around the table. --Character ideas/info Uh, only have 2 IDEAS. 3 if you count fleshing out my purely "playing the game" character on Excalibur when I get bored. (most story will be omitted untill i get some time to make a wiki entry for them) Michelmont Chantal: [align=center]Quick Summary: Friendly youngish Elezen male. Poor upbringing in Ishgard into "accomplished" marauder guild member. Just enjoying life. Dalmud happens and he is lucky enough to get out unscarred. Starts getting strong Gut feelings about things - time skip as nothing of note happens for a time - later figures out its a really shitting/weak/basically useless form of Echo after he joins up with Crystal Braves as genero-grunt #57. Teledji Adeledji does his thing, the Braves split and he lays low as someone still loyal to Alphi and the WoL. Gets word of WoL/Alphi in Ishgard and that shit is about to go down with dragons except really big this time. Makes his way back after X years to help out.[/align] Unnamed depressed looking Au Ra: [align=center]Not sure what I want to do with him. Originally made just to see how depressed I could make a FFXIV character but I loved the way he looked so much I had to do something with him. I figure RP is a good reason to roll him out once I make some story for him. Largely depends on whether I make him Raen or Xaela and what Xalea Tribe. http://imgur.com/BUemIDp ^lookit em... hes so sad^[/align] --How did you learn about the coalition? Googling around specifically FOR information on the RP community in FFXIV. --What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy? Light to Medium? I mean that implies any rp is lesser than another but I get the meaning. I still enjoy the game itself so there will be chunks of time where I'm just not RPing but i know of people who stay in character all the time. I just want to add onto the enjoyment I have and being a part of, not just playing in, a well fleshed out world that just grabbed me from the start seems like a good place to increase my enjoyment. In that sense I want to be a part of the world as much as possible, I really don't enjoy the idea of anything that goes against established world cannon. The more it meshes with FFXIV the better. Does that make sense? --Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc)

So, as a kind of "Servers are down, Im Bored" project Im stating out the Beast Tribes (and the rest of the eorzean races) for D&D3.x/PF. Having a few small problems mostly with size and whether or not certain "creatures" that talk can be considered beast tribes or just intelligent animals. Amalj'aa: They are large and described as hulking but how large are they exactly? Large enough to be considered size large or are they only so many Ilms above a max height male Roegadyn and still considered a Medium Race? Mamool Ja: I got nothing on these guys. At All. (they are really my biggest problem) Kobolds: Are they small? They seem large enough to be medium but i dunno. Spriggan & Bombs: They can talk. Can we consider them beast tribes? Bombs have a queen and she talks, seems decently intelligent (kinda she basically just sent her subjects to explode at you but that is what bombs do) Some can survive exploding with 0 problems. Spriggans... well i know nothing about them other than the fact Tiggy can talk and he/she is cute as fuck. Kind of a dumb little booger though. Im also making a Tempered Template. 1. Wisdom is usually seen as the sanity stat and/or the stat the best represents your mental health. Whenever mind takes a hit in some way you usually lose Wisdom. So should the tempered lose some wisdom as they lost their ability to basically think for themselves or more accurately are now fanatically devoted to their respective Primals where they were not before? Massive mental change and all that/more susceptible to the will of another. 2. Do they magically gain spells due to their connection to their primal or do they now devote themselves to the element their primal represents so they research/train more intently in that element? Edit: Not sure if this in the right place, it seemed appropriate enough since i want mostly lore related info about the races. But at the same time its also not about the game cause its kinda about D&D. Edit 2: Are the Giants considered a Beastman Tribe? They can talk and even have a caste system of sorts. Tonberrys too are giving me a little problem. Their Rancor, should it be a racial rage or some kind of point system they may/must unleash at a certain threshold of points for more dmg and so they will not be "overcome by the Rancor"?
