OttoVann

I'll....do it for free....its not like I need the money or anything b-baka

Someone asked me why I never use the smile emote. Well this is me smiling. The beard likes to hide it.

Otto looks onward, at the Grindstone, enjoying the melee before him.

Yes hello Im Otto Vann and I have problems not approaching pretty girls and taking them on dates and beyond. Pls forgib me

Here we see the Miqo herd in the wild, observing the newest addition to my Banner and Cause to see if she is worthy. You came to the wrong Adventurer's Guild

I have literally never seen a browner c@ in my life. God bless this FC I'm in.

*unsheathes his katana comb, slicking his hair back as he looks over Lili "We meet again" he says. Its good to see you hear Lili, just dropping in to say hi. We should finish up our RP sometime, I was having /fun/

10 minutes after meeting this new one, we're eating that dinner. I'm ok with this starting my weekend.

I just learned how to read and saw that the list is 50 people long. R I P Oh well good things come to those who wait.

That babysitting thing though....like wot Also how the fuck am I supposed to pronounce my last name? I say it like "van". Is there conventions on this?

As soon as I log on I get bullied. Crofte please bully them back with your sword.

I don't really know how to respond to all of the praise. I simply try my best. I've taken note of the names in here though and when we run into each other in game I think I'll have to do or plan things as thanks. This thread kind of morphed and its my fault for derailing it.

Personally I find Otto's character to be refreshing in his own sort of way. He has been built up as a very wealthy man in Ul'dah with ties to the Syndicate. Not only in character, but OOC he has the gil to back that story up as well. I could see him eventually replacing of them (the Syndicate) if that were even possible. I had no problem with the girl showing up. I'm so used to seeing Otto surrounded by his lovely assistants and employees that it just seemed business as usual. Just so long as they remember to act professionally when he is conducting business. The respect they show him just adds to his overall character and believability. These words are too kind for me. Thank you, I'll also keep in mind the professionalism thing if any girls show up to hang around, like Keru did. As far as replacing The Syndicate, that sounds maybe too ambitious for me. Ive got an event planned for another, and my newest girl that works for me just wrapped me up in a plot she put together so it sounds nice but I just might not be good enough to do something so big.

Last night was actually the most fun dungeon I've done on my own since I joined! Well, I had my new buddy with me.. but the rest of the party were such good sports. I'll be sure to add you next time I'm on Caelia. I do have raidcall! Since my laptop doesn't like me taking up too much CPU while running FFXIV. I'm looking at your skype. Use it when my FC is running long raids and EX modes. I think Caelia wouldn't know what to do with this proposal. Curl into a little ball and cry? Why must this fashionabluh man approach an unworthy girl like her? Ehehe.. but EYYYYYYY! Very forward of you. I commend that. ♪(ﾉ´∀｀*)ﾉ Hope to meet Master Otto Vann soon. Message me in game and we can RP a bit, its always fun being so forward with the shy types.

Ok so now that I have you and others here, let me give a more specific example of something I've mulled over a bit in regards to...too far, too R rated etc. I was at the HoD event last week, I usually try to attend their Thursday open bar. Anyways one of (and I hate saying it like this is almost makes me sound like a slaver) my girls, Keru, decided to show up, along with other guests I invited. As usual once the HoD house fills up and it gets too spammy we're outside at the beach chatting in a circle, and I don't /really/ know why this was brought up, but my secretary Ridley cleans my room after long nights of partying and debauch,comes in the next day to remove the 'wilted flowers' and get new ones etc. So someone said "I bet you pick rubbers up off the floor all the time" to Ridley (which surprised me who knew birth control was in the game) and Keru immediately replied on her own "no we don't use those" and I was just....hm that might go too far for RP. It almost felt like all of the RP around us just sort of stopped for a moment to digest that brazen statement. Is it too far? Beats me. Guide me senpais. If Jancis or Crofte happen to lurk this thread, hopefully they can tell me how they felt when she (Keru) showed up to sit in my lap and generally be there to be looked at as we we're all doing that luncheon RP at Limsa a few days ago. Again, I just wonder if its all kosher.

Come to me in game and I'll give you money to help out in whatever it is you do. Just remind me who you are.

Ey gurl you feeling hungry tonight? Lets go get dinner.

The way I've always seen Otto is a man's man. Perhaps he comes from the parents of some Highlanders who were caravan traders; Otto's mother conceived her child on the road. With such a vibrant lifestyle of going from port to port and traveling on the road, he learned about trade, weaponry and of course, women! Now he wanders abroad, seeking some form of solace in his life because women, fighting and business don't cut it for him! It's the mystery of Otto! That sounds appealing...minus the combat part. Otto never was or has been a fighter. Im ripped to shreds due to the heritage mostly, and the working out. My knowledge of the Lance is Academic, and not at all learned through experience. But that sounds neat. As an aside I always wonder how people look at me or my character due to the...non-stop womanizing and being so blase' about it. Ultimately I wonder if its ahhh inappropriate or makes people uncomfortable or something. I should make a thread for this maybe and ask I'm not sure.

So its not much of a secret that I'm still relatively new to Balmung, and have only been here since June, and didn't start roleplaying until Late June / early July. I don't know a lot about lore at all admittedly and Im still quite poor at RP (another thread for another day). BUT, I do have a question in regards to a bit of my backstory since it comes up enough now where I want to make sure I'm 'doing it right'. I've always said at least until this point, that I am not from Eorzea, and am from a different land far out West, in a tiny shit-hole of an existence called Malboro (My old west-coast server, which was a miserable existence). I always personally thought it was neat involving my server x-fer in that bit of origin story for me, but I am wondering if I am just going about it totally wrong, or if there is a better way to go about it. Like are there delicious highlanders like myself not from...wherever Highlanders normally come from? I wouldn't know. Thanks for any help rendered. v/r -Otto

Sometimes I wonder what I should say to colleagues when I have RP scheduled for me by my secretary (Ridley). Like most people in here wouldn't judge, but how the fuck do you say it? Lol. "Yeah I'm not in the mood to barhop, I've got people to do Ridley put me down for." I dunno

Ill go on a date with you to put me closer to the top.

Whats the wait currently so I can know when Im about to pay you?

Sign me up on the list please.

I'd like to join sounds neat

You feeling hungry big guy? It's those Highlander apetites. You can never be full with one. I'm pure so I wouldn't know.
