Lillith Cale

What I would do is talk to a lot of people and comb the lore and make sure your PC's story is adaptable to what Square has laid out. There are a lot of people on the forums here who are very knowledgeable about the lore and I know would be willing to lend a hand if asked. From what I've gathered, a PC being a "job" is a pretty rare and noticeable sight. A lot of people's PC's might even treat yours as insane right off the bat if you claim to be one. As a result, even if you've gone to lengths to make sure you are lore-compliant (which I DO think is possible with specific jobs) I see it as a fact that the character would likely play close to their chest. It would be something that could garner extra unwanted and negative attention and most people typically don't want that kind of thing around them all the time. However, I do see it as an opportunity for some really awesome character development between your character and those that desire to put in the time to get to know her on a personal level. I appreciate the suggestion I do wish to keep my character relatively lore compliant, but I do also want to RP to have fun and enjoy the story I've built around her in the world in which square has developed, if that means a bit of lore bending be it for my character or for others, I am not someone who is going to get upset about it, so long as it's not something that could be considered Godlevel or game breaking. I suppose what I am afraid of is that this will offend a vast majority of people within this specific community. Lillith does not actively talk about her training or meeting the Godsbow, it's definitely not something she advertises or is happy about. He was an utter disappointed for her. The biggest driving factor behind Lillith is her love for archery and her want to become something greater than just an archer, which IS something she'll talk about in character.

PC wise, Lillith was raised in the Shroud from the day she found, and she was abandoned at only a few months old. She holds very close to the ideas and culture of those in the shroud, even though she herself has experienced scorn at being an outsider, which in turn has made her a bit bitter, she was raised a Gridanian and does not like being treated in such a way. It's a fun story Ultimately, I feel that the lore in regards to many jobs, maybe not all, but many can be a bit ambiguous. While some can definitely take more story crafting, as you pointed out, I think that if our characters were meant to be the one and only we wouldn't have seen all those other implied PCs flying about Hydaelyn when she showed herself to us. But, I am rambling I think. My biggest concern really is if my character will end up upsetting the community, and if it does, should I continue or just remove myself? I don't like causing people stress, but at the same time, I personally don't feel that lore has been horribly bent.

I haven't had much of a chance to RP with everyone here yet, and I'm still working on my wiki, but since I joined FFXIV back in February I did so with the intention to RP and with a very clear picture of what I wanted my character, Lillith to be. Combat-wise, I play a Bard. In character, Lillith has, in fact, trained with the Godsbow though she left her training not even halfway through because she found him to be a very pathetic individual and did not wish to continue training under him. But I've seen people get very upset if someone is playing the job instead of the class. I don't see anywhere in the lore I've gone through that says there can be one and only one of a given job at a time. However, I've seen people get into debates about playing the class vs the job. If anyone asks, Lillith will, begrudgingly, admit to having some training as a Bard. Does this mean I am going to be on the receiving end of scorn? And it's not just the Job VS Class I've seen issues with. I myself have personally experienced an issue In Character wise where I was told I shouldn't be playing a Miqo'te because Lillith doesn't keep to their values and conventions. Lillith was abandoned as a child and adopted, that is why she does not keep to those values but that did not seem to be a good enough answer. So, my question is this. I would adore to continue on with my character and have a good time here, but is Lillith ultimately going to end up upsetting people more than being someone to have fun with? At the end of the day, I respect and love the lore of FFXIV but I also feel as if they are a lot of gray areas one can play into, especially in the Job vs Class debate.

Hahaha! That's me xP. I had a shitload of fun going back and forth with Jack. Glad my little lancer was well received. I was laughing at you two the whole time I was there. It was fantastic.

Meta Xi and Myself will be in attendance

at the HoD open tavern night. Best moment ever right here. I died of laughter.

I. Basic Info Characters:Lillith Cale Primary character: Lillith Cale Linkshells:N/A Primary RP linkshell:None currently, but I'd like to find one. II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Honestly, any three of these fit me just fine, and I'm able to switch between them readily, sometimes however, I do tend to favor medium. Especially after I've been running endgame content for a while. Views on RP combat and injuries: I take no issue with it, but I feel the combat must be done based on a system, not just a play by post back and forth. Injuries are a natural part of combat and so I've no issue RPing with them so long as they were gained within an actual battle system with rolls and the like. Views on IC romance: I am perfectly fine with IC romance, but it is something that takes time. Lillith is not the type to fall for someone upon first sight, nor does she take kindly to those who do the same with her. Besides, it's not the destination, it's the journey. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): Outside of her adoptive parents, Lillith knows nothing about her family. Being a Keeper, it's more than likely she has siblings, but she has no interest in finding them nor would she really take an interest if one pops up. If someone wishes to form some type of a connect to Lillith, please let me know but it might not go the way you would hope IC-wise. Views on lore: I feel lore is very important, as it is what drives the story of FFXIV however, I am fine with bending lore here and there or filling in some gray areas so long as it's nothing to horrendous. RP is about having fun, but we should try to respect the world that's been built for us to play in. Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): I don't really have a preference either way, to be honest. Usually when I RP I do so between a combination of /say or /emote, it depends on if I am opening with an action, or opening with a statement, and I build on it from there. III.

Oh gosh, this mount *heavy breathing* I...I don't think I have any friends I can hassle into getting the game unfortunately T_T

Ahh, I see. I take it can pick those up from the stickies?

Of course! Thanks so much, I look forward to all the experiences I'll have here

Does FFXIV have different rules? I would assume the etiquette is the same for any roleplay, be it Tabletop, Play by Post, Chatroom or on an MMO. Don't be a Godmodder, don't Meta game, don't insert yourself into another character's history without permission, be respectful of other people, don't confuse OOC and IC see. Stuff like that :3 You're already well-versed in the rules. Don't worry about it. Huzzah, glad to hear it.
