Banned because I'M STILL GOING TO HIT 50 \o/ Banned because I had to help clean up my sisters apartment today cause she's moving out, whilst she was rolling around with the hangovers of being an irresponsible young adult X_x Banned for knowing that feeling Banning because :tonberry: said so! Banned because :tonberry: is cute!

Banned for banning me!

Banned for not laughing hard enough!

Banned for making the readers think dirty thoughts! Banned for assuming dirty things! Banned for pretending to be innocent! Banned because I am innocent!:angel: Banned for being innocent!

This wasn't something I planned on sharing as I did it very quickly with recycled items (except for the pouch which only took 5 min). But I really like the way it turned out, the lighting makes it, the pouch was done very quickly and initially looked kinda bad but the lighting makes it stand out a bit. My issue is the 'sparkly-ness' of the table. It's an annoying result of the texture+lighting settings I'm using, I had a 'fix' for the other scenes which used this environment using depth of field, but DOF doesn't really work zoomed in...

Kishi is banned for letting the ban chain continue. Soalean is banned for not wanting to continue the ban chain! Banned because and that's why! Banned because I'm at work and bored outta my mind! Banned for being on RPC at work and banning Sastra!

Friends are friends, just do what you can!

Banned for having a cute tuft of fur at the end of her tail!

While I do prefer English, its merely because I don't feel like reading the subs. The dubbing is among the worst dubbing I've ever heard for English, it'll go as far as to compare a good english dubbing of an old 80s martial arts Chinese movie. The voice acting is flat and emotionless, the best VO's being Hydaelyn and Gaius (likely as they're more renowned Voice actors) but all else, no disrespect is done pretty badly, Thancred being easily the worst.

I've done some more 3d work. I'll put some others here just for organizational sake. I want to get back to doing more work but I'm not feeling as inspired lately . Let me know what you guys think of my stuff, harsh critique is allowed and encouraged. I will point out I am not a native artist, this is just a hobby and occasional way to make a few bucks.

'In short' . Get it cause your a... Lalafel... Okay sorry. Keep poking around people pop on and off often. HI! my Character is June Barlokov. Send a tell or occasionally find me in the Quicksand. Welcome to the RP community and I hope you enjoy yourself

Banned for having a fluffy tail

Character Name: June Barlokov Character Type: Mercenary, a light flirt, witty, often blunt Availability Day(s) of the Week: Usually 7 days a week Time(s) of the Day: Most often, 4pm est -> 4am est I'll likely be on or not far from my PC. Frequent Locations: The quicksand, gold saucer, or out adventuring. I respond to tells if you wish to inquire after me.

Here's a simple little tool I threw together last night for any who may want it. (It's a bit sloppy I know, don't judge) Allows for more complex and dynamic random 'rolls' for any IC RP actions you want to make. I made a while ago as a commission but I decided to revamp it for this game's stats. The point of it was to allow use of stat values in a formula of your choosing to increase the complexity of the roll. ex. Your character has higher strength so his physical attack should have more weight in the roll, same with Intelligence and magic. There's a readme and a help window in the program with more details on customizing the formula (or you can just click on the two preset formula buttons). It doesn't interact with the game at all, it's independent software that doesn't require an install, simply extract to a place of your choosing and run the exe. It's free, you can distribute it, I only ask you don't claim it as your own or sell it, the usual stuff . http://sourceforge.net/projects/rpgroller/ Screenshot:

Thanks again for your input, I love you guys for how eager you are to give good advice to new players, +1s. Christopher's ability of manipulation would not revolve around my GM others of course, I personally would have to be creative enough to manipulate the the opponent. So his ability to control others is directly linked into my own ability to do so and my own actual intelligence making it more interesting. (I'm a good person in RL I swear ). What I could do for his magical abilities is limit them entirely to non-combat rolls. "Oh need your camp fire lit, no probs.", "Oh the wine is warm? Here I'll cool it a bit." and healing wise only simple to mild wounds outside of combat when he can concentrate on it, otherwise, he'd resort to potions or classic bandages and etc. This should balance his combat abilities a bit, especially because RP wise he really shouldn't be in combat too often, in my FC (that Juné is a merc in) he would take a supporting roll.

Thank for the brutal honesty, I prefer that and it is exactly what I wanted (Being sensitive for a critique is pointless and and nothing is gained or learned). All accurate points and I did neglect to point out his flaws which he has I assure you, sorry. I partially assumed some of the flaws were assumed which I shouldn't have done. He's what he already has in that regard (I've never listed them so I have to recall) He's the antithesis of Juné more or less. His personality was based on an actual person when I designed him initially years ago, even his skill in engineering and the sciences (assuming you classify magic as a subset of magic) is based on said person. Also I forgot to add this detail, he has a mild case of Asperger's (technically only implied) in my story, I'm not sure how well that translates into FFXIV lore. His personality flaws circle around that. Personality wise: He's often naive when it comes to relationships with himself and others He's mildly arrogant which blinds him to his flaws. (This also comes with a pinch of stubbornness). Hard time keeping his thoughts to himself (may correct or argue with people in a conversation not involving him). Melkire mentioned more street smarts than book smart, in Chris's case lets reverse that and push it, he has very limited street smarts but good book smarts. I also forgot one of his most noticeable trait, his anxiety ticks, he flicks his fingers back and forth with his thumb on the same hand. I'll tone down the manipulation bit by stating "He's been known on occasion to trick people into getting what he wants." as weaseling out've fights would be a subset of that and I did intend for a broader interpretation of that anyway. Physically: Overall low physical skills, though I'll point out that due to his skill at reading people he is okay at predicting opponents. Now combat/magical skills, he only has basic skill in healing and basic offensive magic due to his magical studies. Again since we don't know the lore behind machinist I can only speculate, however skill with engineering machinations would naturally come with skill using them. He's 29 in FFXIV so he's had sometime to build up his skills (and I did say master of none), though don't get me wrong I understand your point of the whole child prodigy thing. So if I were to analyze him stat wise: Strength: much below average Vitality: slightly below average Dexterity: average Intelligence: above average Mind: slightly above average Piety: average I will also point out that none of his pros and cons venture into the extreme, so none rule his personality. Is he afraid of anything? Not being able to solve a problem, (Not being able to rely on his mind, so also like losing in a strategic game) Is there anything he wishes he could do better? He wishes for a better purpose in life, he feels like he's just floating in a cloud aimlessly. He's dissatisfied with a simple life of occasional crafting commissions, he wants to study nature and advance society via technology. Perhaps in FFXIV he enjoys studying Garlean tech and wishes for everyone to take queues (That was a quick suggestion I don't know if that'll stick). Does he regret anything in his life? His family relationships which are in tatters, his father is dead and he didn't fix the relationship prior to. Is he purposefully arrogant based on his skills with other things? He acknowledges his lack in other skills well enough. Are there any sorts of people he just doesn't like? Why? People he feels are ignorant overall or especially choosing to be ignorant.

I was considering Arcanist but I'm not fond of Chris having a familiar, though reading the rest of the lore on the wikia makes it seem more interesting. Maybe ICly he doesn't use a familiar since he's primarily a machinist anyway. Thanks for the advice Aya

I've been RPing for a little while as my main Junè, however once Heavensward releases, my WIP alt Chris who will be a Machinist will emerge from the land of OOC. The issue is, I find he might be a little OP for heavy RP. Quick background, I wrote Junè and Chris for a massive story a long time ago (like 8 years ago), I reuse them for RPGs and MMOs because they were my favorite and most detailed characters I've written about. Therefore I know Christopher's personality, in fact Chris was the main protagonist in my story while Junè oft took a secondary roll, however after I matured I realized he's a bit of a Gary Sue and OP (I actually made Junè to counter this). So before I RP with Chris I want to tweak things to make him more interesting. Here's his usual background in my story: Brilliant human (Hyur) with a knack for building things using both his skills in engineering, physics, and understanding of magic (or in this case Aether). He decent knowledge and some minor skill in most magical fields though usually prefers to manipulate a situation to his desire or use traps to avoid combat at all. His history is basic, parents tried to take advantage of his skills in building things when he was a teen, he had enough and walked out to make his own life, he's become quite wealthy on his designs. (In my story I wrote revolving him more things happen making him even more powerful, like if you take the MSQ literally ICly with full lvl50 jobs across the board OP... So granted that level wont be applied here ) To summarize ICly: He has basic skills in both Thaumaturge and Clergy jobs and he's a skilled machinist (once it comes out). Jack of all trades yet master of known in crafting classes. Quite brilliant in most sciences and philosophy, wealthy, and has a simplistic background though does come from wealth so can read and write. Personality, he prefers to let others fight and can manipulate them via words to do so. So any tips or advice? Any criticisms on lore or anything else? Naturally there may be further discrepancies depending on the background of machinist job once more details are released about the job. Thank you.

Junè Barlokov holds a facade of being a tomboy, wearing simple garments thrown together, not caring about getting dirty to get somewhere (walking through a swamp to avoid a a 2 malm detour, and not afraid to enjoy a healthy sparring match with a drinking buddy. However in her room she collects alot of jewelry, dresses, and simple makeup. All of which she tries on and practices a more feminine persona, though she dare not reveal this secret to any.

The idea of "Is it Sexist?" in of itself is difficult to answer. During any conversations or debates regarding this question regardless of the source I feel that various layers upon layers of abstract complexities are piled atop of each other creating a blurry sense of ambiguity. In my opinion when it comes to this question and any similar questions I have reached a one sentence thought on the matter: If the characteristic to whom the character belongs is only considered due to their gender (place what ever adjective you like in place of gender) then it 'MAY' be considered sexist in the eyes of others. Granted some special case exceptions may apply to my statement above (body parts as an example). Finally to the hard question of "Is Mary Sue sexist?" I say no, as I see the term 'Gary Sue' as the male equivalent with all the same attributes as Mary Sue. Since the attributes of both genders are equivalent (at least in my opinion) then by definition the term is not sexist. I see the terms of Gary/Mary Sue as being more of a term used for cliche character design with unoriginal qualities.
