P'ashara

EDIT: aaaaand I am a dummy and posted this in the wrong directory, wow. EDIT EDIT: Thanks for moving this for me, mods!

I. Basic Info Characters: P'ashara Pari Primary character: P'ashara Pari Linkshells: None, but looking! Primary RP linkshell: None, but looking! II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Heavy RP. Views on RP combat and injuries: I'd be interested in RP combat, definitely. I prefer to work out details (freeform, dice rolls, etc) OOC first. I also like to RP recovery from injuries: I feel like serious injuries should affect RP, and generally turn down healing that will make any received injuries instantly disappear. Views on IC romance: I LOVE IT, but I do not ERP. Anything that gets too intimate goes to fade-to-black. I also prefer to do romance plots only with good OOC communication. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): I'd be totally open to have relations to my characters, but only with OOC discussion first. Anything that makes a story a bit more immersive is generally a-okay by me! Views on lore: Being relatively new to FFXIV lore and story, there is plenty I don't know, but I am learning. That said, I prefer "creativity within confines." I think the framework of established lore is super important and it shouldn't be bent or broken. However, there are plenty of small details that are not established, and these are okay to play with. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): I can be IC or OOC in /say, depending on who I'm with. I always prefer IC in /say, but am flexible depending on the situation. All other chat functions I am also flexible with. I don't really like RPing in /linkshell unless it is a communication-device sort of thing. III. Other Info Country: United States Timezone: Central (CST) Contact info: Please private message me here or contact me in game!

We met Xydane at our very first stop, and hopefully we'll meet Rinette since our characters will be in Gridania and the Shroud for awhile! Being new to the game, I didn't know/think that RP was centered in Ul'dah. I do see a lot of it there but I catch it when I'm visiting the other cities as well! Through my leveling experience (yay I'm 50 now!), it was rarer to catch it out in the world but I totally did see it! P'ashara would like to go to Limsa Lominsa someday! I think any time she has to make a huge, long trip, this type of RP event would work out well It was nice meeting the Morbolvine clan! Definitely new territory for my Sunseeker.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for RP! We had a great time in each location, and every stop and group was unique! My character, at least, now knows about 150% more people than she did before, so yay!

We have one more stop on the 31st, so please feel free to come out! We'll be at Buscarron's Druthers starting at 9PM CST.

25th Sun 4th Astral Moon My last day in Ul'dah. I said my goodbyes to Kayt and Geran. I couldn't believe it, but they gave me a gift. They've got less than me, and they gave me a gift. It was not much, just a bracelet of braided leather with a charm that bears Oschon's symbol, but I feel like I've been given a treasure. Geran told me that he and Kayt hoped it would bring me protection on my journeys. I still feel sort of touched by this gift, and am glad that I had the foresight to do a little hunting and leave them with enough to have a good meal for the next couple days. Soon, I'll be leaving with Lucas and his caravan. I'm not sure what it will be like. There will be other travelers, I'm sure. Also some guards, the caravan master, and the chocobo of course. I hear they can be fast, but a caravan is slow, like a tortoise. I tried to tell Lucas that he'd be better off to ditch all the things he's packed and travel with me on foot, light, but there was no convincing him. Oh well. I can always hop off and scout around if I get bored of riding. I'm a little sad to be leaving. Or, maybe a little afraid? This will be the furthest I've traveled from home, I guess. And... well, I'll miss my family. I miss my sisters already.

Tonight we'll be hanging around the bar/restaurant area/building in Camp Drybone (or maybe outside and around it).

Thanks so much to everyone who came out! It was a lot of fun and some of us ended up RPing there for like four and a half hours (before I went to bed)! I had a good time and we hope to meet others on our other stops!

Aw, thanks! Hope to see you guys out there! P'ashara is dying to meet other miqo'te, and knows there are lots of Keepers in Gridania and the Shroud.

Greetings! For the last three weeks, two would-be adventurers have been making preparations in Ul'dah for a caravan journey that will take both of them much farther than either have traveled in their relatively short lives. Perhaps you've seen them around the city, asking about caravan schedules and travel routes! Having met by chance, their circumstances made them decide to pool their respective resources, monetary and otherwise, to make the journey safely. They will be departing with an armed caravan, along with other travelers, and will be making their way to Gridania over a week's time. We will be stopping along the route at various settlements and would like to invite you to join us (P'ashara Pari and Lucas Rajan) on any of the evenings listed below for a couple hours of roleplay. After this, we'll be spending our IC time exploring Gridania and the Shroud for a few weeks... or who knows? Adventure may take us somewhere else! Saturday, July 26 at 9:00PM CST The Coffer and Coffin, South of Blackbrush Station, Central Thanalan Sunday, July 27 at 9:00PM CST Camp Drybone, Eastern Thanalan Thursday, July 31 at 9:00PM CST Buscarron's Druthers, South Shroud We are both relatively new to the game but would love to make some contacts and meet some people, so if you are bored on any of these evenings or looking for some casual but fun roleplay, please feel free to stop by!

21st Sun 4th Astral Moon Honestly I kind of thought that I wouldn't find that Lucas kid. I hate to admit it, but even though my senses are pretty sharp, the city is just so swamped that it's like almost impossible to track one person by sight, scent, or sound. If I were more familiar with this place and knew how stuff worked, I probably wouldn't have been so hopeless about it. But, none of that matters because I finally ran into him! And what's more, he hired me to act as his guard on his route to Gridania. This is more than I could hope for, so naturally I accepted. I even get to ride on the caravan instead of run alongside it. I think he's got some more stuff to arrange before we head out, but I feel really at ease now. Plus, we ended up having a nice conversation. I tried to explain a bit why I'm out and about in the world, but it took him a bit to grasp it. I think he understand now, even though he doesn't want the same for himself. I hear a lot of men complaining about their mates in this city, but I get why. I can't imagine being tied to a person so constantly. With a tribe and a nunh, there's so much more freedom and time to do what you want, and everyone contributes. He said something, Lucas did... something about how he didn't want "a woman to tie him to the dinner table." Sounds rough! I'm glad I don't have to worry about it. Anyroad, I heard something strange the other night. Was talking to that tia, S'imba, and he told me he'd been mauled by a feral miqo'te. I asked myself what that meant? Animals are feral, not miqo'te. Even beastmen have order to what they do. I don't understand why he would say that. You might as well say you got attacked by a feral Lalafell. That miqo'te, whoever attacked him, isn't feral. He or she is just a menace, that's all. If a Hyur attacked someone, would we call him feral? Maybe I should catch this miqo'te and toss him or her to the guards. Seems like that's where they need to end up. If anyone calls me feral, I'll be sure to educate them in a way that only a seasoned and trained huntress can. Bah!

13th Sun 4th Astral Moon Ran across Borson again. I almost didn't recognize him! I guess he felt like a little change and had gotten his hair cut. He was all kitted up in armor as well, carrying that huge lance---halberd? of his. He told me he was preparing to head to La Noscea and after some conversation, asked if I'd like to share the road. Was kind of tempted, I admit. I've heard stories that La Noscea is like a huge garden, and that there are so many farms that you can just see green grass for malms and malms. Also, I kind of like this guy. He seems able to take care of himself and I'm kind of curious about how he uses his weapon. I'm familiar with spears--used them frequently on hunts--but I suspect the methods I know are far and away different than how he fights. But, again there's that caravan, and that kid, and Gridania. Would be a shame to give up on that just yet, so I declined. We did agree to exchange some knowledge next time we crossed paths--Sunseeker bow from me, and Ishgardian lance from him. Gave him a phial of P'nasha's basilisk poison. Hopefully he won't need it, but it's pretty handy to have. Later that night I met up with Rock again. Bought me a drink and ended up giving me some gil. I'd saved enough up for a room for the night, and told him so, but he wanted to see to it I had a bed for more than one evening. Honestly, it's a luxury for me in the first place, but he was really generous and kind about it. He suggested I let Kayt and Geran have it for a night. I can't think of a better way to thank them for their hospitality. He's an alright guy, that Rock Shattermountain.

11th Sun 4th Astral Moon I've been outside the city a little, though not far. I figure that if I want to try some of what the city has to offer, I better earn a little money. That said, I do have some skills I can put to use, and spent the day hunting. Even camped out so I could check my traps during the night. I'm sure that Kayt and Geran enjoyed having their shelter to themselves for one night, as hospitable and kind as they've been. Even without me there, the refugee camps along the walls aren't really known for privacy, constructed out of found materials and such. A shelter's basically just a mat and some walls made out of woven grass or fabric, and just enough space to sleep. In any case, I'm finally back in the city now. Had a nice fat bundle of peiste skins, teeth, and bones for the markets. Meat, too, but it didn't seem like it was a preferred commodity, so I left it for my hosts and their neighbors. Counting up my gil, I think I might have almost enough to rent an inn room for a night. Kinda luxurious, but I'd like to try it at least once before leaving! Visited the Quicksand again tonight. I keep leaving one eye open for Lucas. At this point maybe it's silly, but I'm coming to terms with the fact that maybe I'm just no good on my own. Like, I've always had a tribe and a family. Always traveled and hunted with my sisters and aunts. I went from Sagolii to Ul'dah on my own, but something about heading into unfamiliar territory seems kinda lonely. Wish P'lassa was here, she'd tell me I'm dense and pinch me till we got into a scuffle, and I'd forget all about how I'm feeling. Anyroad... I did believe I'd finally run across Lucas! From the back, anyway... tapped the guy's shoulder and when he turned around, it definitely wasn't who I was looking for. Oops! He was nice about it, though. We got to talking, me and this guy. Introduced himself as Borson and told me he was from Ishgard. Honestly, I could listen to him talk all day. If someone told me he was some kind of hero and also an author, I'd believe it. Never talked to someone so in command of his or her own words before. Was a pleasant hour or so, before I took off back for Kayt and Geran's shelter.

I had the same issue as you, but had luck creating my character (as the others have said) during the early morning. Good luck!

9th Sun 4th Astral Moon I've noticed there are a lot of unhappy people in this city. I met one today, at the Quicksand. Keeping an eye out for Lucas, still... anyroad, she was miqo'te too, and seemed about as much as a fish out of water as someone could be. Like, even more than me. She said she came from the Shroud, so I guess she's probably a Keeper, but she wouldn't let me get a good look at her eyes, so I'm not sure. Said her name was Lexx. Or L'exx? At least she has a room, and apparently enough money to keep it. She's sitting prettier than a lot of other folks in Ul'dah. Said she was looking for somewhere to go, but seemed kind of timid when I asked her what skills she had. I think she'll probably stick around the city rather than go out for one of the desert tribes. All I know is that if she came all the way out here by herself, she's stronger than she thinks and will probably be fine. Hope she realizes that too! I met a curious trio not too long after that. Another miqo'te (Tia, I'm sure), a super bold Lalafell guy, and a white mage girl. Stopped to ask them if they'd seen someone of Lucas' like and ended up in a conversation. Swear by the Twelve, that Lalafell's forwardness must be in opposite proportion to his height! Talking about my 'wild eyes' and 'chocolate orbs'???? That last one gave me a laugh, I admit. It was sort of hard to be offended cause the guy was so bold, but, like, kinda princely? Gallant, even. And fashionable. All in all it was an amusing gathering of traits in one person. He said his name, but damned if I can write it. Xa-something. Started with a Z or an X, I'm sure. So, anyroad, he invited me to join his group or company or whatever. Not really sure how I feel about that, but it was a nice offer. Good to have something to fall back on if things don't go as planned. He introduced me to his friends, too--that white mage, a girl named Sorcha. And that miqo'te guy, named S'imba. Sorcha kind of reminds me of one of my sisters in her temperament. Quiet, sweet, seems like a caretaker. S'imba somehow has himself caged as an arena slave, I guess? Let me tell you, I'm glad whoever got him into that situation wasn't immediately present, or I might have replaced his or her eyeballs with arrow shafts. A collared miqo'te? Like, I could throw up. It's like ripping a wing off a bird or something.
