Aris

This thread has a bit of a discussion regarding the two servers being closed The upcoming server maintenance (tomorrow I think, will check) is a good opportunity, when it's about to start or as soon as it's finished. It's helpful to have your character saved and know all the details so it'll be quicker. I'm not sure of any other RP servers though, hopefully someone else will be able to answer ^^ Edit: Yep, all worlds maintenance Jan. 8, 2015 from 7:00 to 10:00 (GMT)

Gegenji, among others, is one of the people here whose writing and characters inspired me to get into FFXIV roleplaying and start posting on here.

B'aw, the second one! These are adorable.

Yes. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=344087956&insideModal=1 Hahaha! Hahaha, she's so cute... and please don't hate those of us whom sometimes succumb to weakness and show affection to random lalas.... please! (It is also an unwritten, Lalafel law to express joy and excitement when encountering fellow lalas. Random, bonding exchanges must always occur where possible!) Hehe don't worry, it was more of a rhetorical question! I've pet many lalas and shall continue to do so! It is another unwritten law of Eorzea. Oh, these pictures are adorable <3 I'm overwhelmed by all the cuteness on this thread.

Aw, a very big congratulations to all of you!

Sounds like a good start! There is a character development thread if you haven't seen already, has some prompts if you'd like ideas to help flesh your character out more

Hello hello! A (late?) welcome to HRC! It's nice to finally meet you. Really like the sound of your characters, it'll be great to hear more about you and them, and hopefully see you around Balmung! I'm a fellow read before sleep-er, although sometimes have to resist as I end up getting carried away and stay up for much longer than intended.. 'just.. need to finish.. this bit!'

Hello, welcome to HPC! Are you new to roleplaying, or looking to find others? Either way, you've come to the right place.

Hello hello! I'd just like to add that there's a fee to transfer - I think it's around 11 pounds, but I can't remember for sure. I also moved from Cerberus over to Balmung for RP, hello fellow transfers Many events on Balmung don't happen until past midnight. Thankfully there are several EU LS and FCs, and more events are often held at EU friendly times, but it's usually evening/late night as opposed to during the day. Balmung is open sometimes, and I imagine it'll be open more often now the holidays are over. There's a thread here which has a little more info, but it might be worth waiting and checking back often during the morning/afternoon as that's when it's usually open (and off peak time for US players).

I'd also like one please will try to catch you online as Aris Frey Do you take active alts?

That looks really pretty! Wonderful job As mentioned earlier, I'd be happy to help video it if you wanted and edit it together, but I've got no fancy skills, and it's literally just a recording like this:

Hello hello Higura! Welcome to HPC and wonderful world of FFXIV. :chocobo: Everyone is friendly and helpful here, so if you ever have any questions please do ask, whether they're related to lore or game play itself. If you'd like company doing your first dungeon or trial, just give us a shout because I know nearly everyone will be happy to come along and explain anything. I'm on Balmung, but hopefully look forward to seeing you soon? I live in the UK, and have noticed it's often open between 3am-11am EST, or after (and before I think some have said) maintenance. Saving a character ready and knowing all the details might be helpful so you can create him quickly.

Happy New Year everyone

It's nice reading through everyone's responses ICly, Aris wants to set out to find some truths in the coming year, and to be less closed off and meet more people, and treat those around her better. Nimimi's goal is to keep doing the best she possibly can in Conjury training, and begin to explore the world of healing as an arcanist. OOCly, I'd like to keep leveling DoH, and.. maybe just go for it and stop being scared to heal things. :blush:

Guuuuuuys, I'll happily come along and help with things if needed! I need healing practise and am too nervous to heal with pugs, so it'd be helpful for the both of us. I also still have Pharos Sirus, Halatali and Copperbell HM to do if anyone wants to reap the soldiery bonus be a kind soul and help out. LOVE THE NEW GEAR.

Will definitely have to check out the books mentioned! I can also vouch for The Black Magician Triology by Trudi Canavan - one of my favourite series Another favourite I'd like to add is The Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss. I've not been as enchanted by a book series for a long time. ;u; [align=center][/align]

"It would be my pleasure! Although it seems the good sir has beaten you to it," Nimimi chuckles, nodding towards the Lalafell now handing around peanuts. She can't help but smile at how delighted he looks by the turn of events - or perhaps it was the funny elezen who just announced her arrival. "Pleasure to meet you Evangeline, I'm Nimimi," she smiles, turning back to the lady and nodding her head. Her curiosity leaps at the mention of Ishgard, for she had only left Thanalan a few times, and each trip had taken her to Gridania. "Ishgard! It must have been a very long journey here?" Nimimi squeaks. She winces as in the corner of her vision she sees the delighted lalafell walk into a pillar. It was turning into a very unexpected homecoming indeed.

"I recommend a hot compress for sore muscles," Nimimi Nimi murmured shyly from behind the Elezen, giving her a small smile. "Well, it's what works best for me any road." She leaned against the railing wearily, putting her rucksack down beside her as she glanced through the bars around the Quicksand. Warmth filled her belly in the way only arriving home could do, and she let out a content sigh. She glanced towards the companions beside her and gave each a small nod and smile, eyes widening as they settled on the behemoth sniffing the babyqo'te nestled, and a young lalafell quietly coo'ing beside them.

Please feel free to share any of your ideas with us. Related to anything. If you wanted to, that is. I know I speak for many when I say we'd be delighted to hear what's going on in your head and give feedback where we can.

Thank you all! Thankfully I've just finished Culinarian to 15 and have Goldsmith left. Will work on CUL to 37 as suggested! Always forget about GC turn ins, cheers for the tip.

Hello! I'm slowly but surely entering into the world of crafting. Got Weaver to 50, and currently working on getting all the classes to 15 (should have done that first). I know the different DoH and DoL classes help each other out. I read some people level several together at once, but I'm not sure if that would work for me. :blush: I wondered: Is there any particular order that's best to level them in to 50? Which cross-class abilities do you use the most; should I aim for them first? Or, any general tips would be appreciated! I might post further questions on this thread, I hope that's alright. Edit: I updated with some new questions. Thank you to everyone for the feedback!

If I were to see someone on a 'lore breaking' mount but they describe it as something else, then that's completely fine with me! I love hearing the story behind a character's mount haha. As mentioned earlier, the options are pretty limited. To be honest, the only thing I would really question is the behemoth mount.. it just doesn't seem right to me for someone to have one - but as long as said person's story is plausible and keeps me interested then I'll just roll with it. Tell us more about Holskhyll?

Oh my goodness, I LOVE the Jak and Daxter games! Haven't played them in years! Wish the collection was on ps4, our ps3 is broken.

Once upon a time Aris would have been fighting for Eorzea, the Twelve, and for Ul'dah, but she's changed a fair bit over the recent years and has realised she's simply fighting for her life, and the life of whoever it is that is fighting beside her. She is a fighter and solider, and quite often can be in a dangerous situation. When it comes down to those moments of putting your life at risk Aris feels that you share something with your team mates that no-one will quite understand until they've been there and done it. So she takes each day at a time, and fights for whoever is there beside her. Nimimi on the other hand is simply trying to fight for the people. She's a kind little lalafell with a big heart.
