Cole

I tend to over analyze things.

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble on the tail-less Miqo'te subject, but look at her arm. Her tail just so happens to be angled EXACTLY the same as her arm in that picture. The tail is there, it just blends in.

I wish I weren't posting on my phone, but there's been a new beta roadmap released! It looks like all legacy account holders get in phase 1 of testing too! Beta starts in mid February!

This story/RP is a work in progress, and I will be adding more to it as time goes by. After one or two more posts I plan on opening the thread for open RP! Please enjoy and offer any feedback you may have! Thanks! It was another arid morning, as per usual in the City-State of Ul'dah. Cole stretched and audibly yawned, rolling out of his bed. The sun wasn't up yet, given another bell or two though, it would be, along with everyone else who called the city home. He picked his old black cloak up off the floor and draped it over his shoulders. He made his way to the dining area in his small home, grabbing a piece of dried meat from the table before making his way out the door. He knew he had to move quick to get to the predetermined meeting point on time. He started his journey through the uncharacteristically dead streets with relative ease. As he rounded the second to last corner, he happened to notice a guard walking in his direction, lantern held high. âHey! Is someone there! State your business being out at such an hour!â the Midlander Guard shouted, making his way toward where Cole now stood. Cole quickly took in his surroundings, debating if there was anywhere he could run to escape the guard, but found no viable options. âWell y-you see sir, I was umm I was having a uh a hard time s-sleeping and-â Cole was interrupted as the guard suddenly collapsed. As the lantern he was holding fell to the ground, it rolled to its side and it cast its light upwards, illuminating a very imposing figure now holding the unconscious guard up by the collar of his uniform, his other hand still clenched in a fist. âWell I guess that works too. Nice to be seeing you, friend!â âOi, I was startin' to get worried you wouldn't show tonight Cole,â The Hellsguard said, a slight annoyance obvious in the tone of his voice âYer damned lucky I 'eard this one hollerin' at'cha and decided it were worth my time to investigate.â he said, nodding his head to the side at the now out of commission guard as he lowered the body to the ground. âI would have been fine, Fyrbren.â Cole said, matter-of-factly to his companion, âBut, you know I always appreciate the backup.â he added, picking the lantern up off the ground and snuffing its light. âDon't you go gettin' all buddy-buddy with me boy, you wouldn't want to see me gettin' all teary-eyed now.â Fyrbren replied as the two friends started walking to the meeting area. âOh and Cole...â âHmm? What now?â âYe'r a terrible, terrible liar.â Fyrbren chided, a smirk crossing his face. âI know.â Cole noted, hanging his head in mock shame. As they approached an unmarked door on the main market stretch, Fyrbren turned to Cole and urged âStay silent while the guildmaster speaks, I won't be able-or willing for that matter-to save yer sorreh hide like I did back there. I know how you k'in be very opinionated at times. Don't let this be one'a them times Cole.â Putting emphasis on the word opinionated. âI won't promise anything, but I'll try my bestâ Cole nodded, âlets just go in, shall we?â âUgh... you'll be the death of me yet boy. You're certainly your fathers son though.â Fyrbren said, offering Cole the complement. âThanks Fyrbren, your saying that means a lot. Doesn't mean I'm going to promise to behave myself though.â Cole grinned, as he walked through the door, and into the start of another grand adventure.

Welcome! You seem pretty awesome, if you have civilization 5, you should join us sometime for a weekend game. ^.^

Its all my fault!

Hey Satisiun, do you mind if I borrow your layout? I really like the look of it!

I also may or may not have been invited to the alpha. I just hope that those who are in use it as a tool to help make the game better, and not as a free demo of the game.

Happy birthday man! Its been great getting to know you so far!

Welcome!

I kinda hope that if they don't just put everyone back on Balmung then they will let payers pick a new server to play on, not that it really maters much to me as I plan on re rolling to whatever server we designate (as my old characters highest level is only 30 and I want to be a miqo male and not hyur lol). But mostly I just want to play with everyone!

Hmm yeah that's fair, all I know is I really enjoy thf style classes, and for rp purposes I want to play the "thief with a heart of gold" style character. For now I'll go pug though And thank you for the welcome Sigil! Everyone is so friendly here its awesome!

*Slowly puts down his freshly poured cup of punch* Y-yeah, thanks.

Oooo this sounds awesome, Gerik I sent you a request/message on skype

Absolutely! I really want to try and cement down a basic character idea and find a group of people to start up a story with before ARR drops, that way I'm ready to hop right into the action asap! I just really wish they would come out and confirm a THF job/class before I get my hopes too high (oh who am I kidding, my hopes are crazy high for a THF class) and start writing up my character... But yeah I can't wait to talk to more people and get more involved! OOooooo! I'll get right on that with the skype Thank you for the heads up!

I was thinking Fraps would be your best bet, but you already covered that... The only other program I've ever used for video capture is Game Cam, but I can't really recommend that one... I'm sorry, I haven't been much help, but I'll take a peek around the interwebs and see if I can find something for you!

Hey guys! Well I posted on here WAYYYY back in January and then never actually ended up playing ;_; But!!!! With the upcoming release of ARR I don't think I've ever anticipated a games release so much. Anyways I'm really looking forward to getting to know the community here and finding a great group of people to RP with while developing a great backstory for my character. Can't wait to meet everyone!!!

Excellent! Thank you so much for the speedy response! I'm really looking forward to getting back to Eorzea now! I'll certainly take a longer look around the site, and write up a full bio of Cole here soon. Many thanks!

Hey all! I'm a returning beta/launch player, really looking for a good RP experience, and hoping to make a few lasting friends along the way. I recently tried Star Wars: The Old Republic, and though the game was fun it felt like more of the same all over again and didn't really have the best system in place for RP. So I have a few questions, such as: How active is the RP community? Is the RP server still Besaid? Is the game currently in a "new player friendly" state? and lastly, are there any resources that I should look into before beginning RP(for example, is there a history of Eorzea written up anywhere that might help me RP a little better? Other than that I'm pretty excited to be returning to Eorzeapedia after all the improvements that seem to have been made since launch. --MMORPG background I've played many many MMORPGs, from Phantasy Star Online and Final Fantasy 11, to Beta Testing World of Warcraft, DCUO, SWTOR, AION, etc. I led raids, ran guilds, made expert pvp battleground/warzone strategies. To say I've seen it all is probably an overstatement, but I would like to think that I've seen most of it all. --RP experience RPing is something I've done quite a bit of, since I was in junior high, starting in a friends parents garage playing some pen and paper D&D (10 years ago?!) and ever since. Like I said in my little introduction up there, I tried it in SWTOR but something about the UI just didn't work for me when it came time to RP. --Character ideas/info My original idea was to continue the story of my FF11 character, while making the necessary alterations to his history, but I feel now that maybe starting a whole new character might be the best route. I'm going to be rolling a Midland Hyur Male, named Cole Abarenth. He's a young pugilist, and as for right now thats all I have, I'm going to mull over some details during my downtime at work today though! So when I figure more out, I'll post in response to this thread! --How did you learn about the coalition? Back when the game was still in Beta, I was a pretty avid poster on eorzeapedia.com and I saw the name pop up several times. I finally remembered it when I was talking to my friend about picking the game back up. --What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Casual, moderate, or heavy? So long as the system is to my liking, and I can find people who would also be interested, I would really enjoy some moderate to heavy rp. --Anything from real life youâre comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc) I'm 22 years old, Male, have one dog, live with 3 roommates, and I'm from Maine. I love gaming, and reading, and watching Kung Fu movies. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
