Maya Oreyth

Hey! I got your messages in-game but I wasn't able to message you back. I'd totally be up to playing with you! => All of your characters sound interesting!

Hey everyone! It's been... quite literally half a year since I first joined this wonderful site and posted... Oops ;D;' Life got way out of hand with my new job, but I'm back! And I finally have my intended roleplay bebe on Balmung! Let me tell you a little bit about her below! Ma'ia Belajhaad, or better known in her home country as Media nan Tolvus, has recently come to Eorzea to break free from her previous life as a mechanic under Garlean rule. As a Miqo'te, she was adopted by Garlean parents, and grew up to be one of many serving the Empire with her skills as a technician and engineer, opting with preference towards the physical labors of assembling and disassembling creations old and new alike. Deeply buried feelings of ineptitude, however, sparked within her an incurable tangle of self-doubt and fear, and following the Calamity she vanished from Garlemald without a trace. And this is what I have as an introduction for my character ;D; I hope it isn't too much, or too little or too ridiculous. She's currently working with Thaumaturgy and Goldsmithing (or will) and is trying like mad to fit into the Eorzean lifestyle and do that whole adventuring thing. If anyone wants to interact with her you can find her in game usually in Ul'dah or the surrounding areas! Come say hi or laugh at her or tell her to jump off a cliff she'll probably do it if it makes her an adventurer fjksdlfs

For combat-related classes, I'd probably keep it to a couple for "mastery" so avoid what others would call "special-snowflaking". It doesn't mean you'd have to be useless in the other ones, but a person who can do everything would feel a little stale, no? I don't think anyone would have any issues with a couple classes, maybe one job, and a few crafting/gathering of decent skills. An example would be Franz, the character I play, who primarily fights with an axe or uses a tome for arcanima. He's not particularly the "best" at any, but if I had to place him somewhere in the leveling scale, he'd probably be a Marauder-Scholar mix for RP. He knows his way around a forge and hammer well, so smithing of any kind is where he'd excel. Naturally, he's got basic competence in the other crafts, but in practice, not so much. I'd assume he knows how to chop down a tree or pick some plants, but he may not know much about it. For Black Mage, would there be a reason she studies magic from the Void, rather than say, the astral/umbral magic a Thaumaturge uses? Edit: Here's a nice write up by Sounsyy on some of the class/job history. That makes a lot of sense, yeah. I was planning on keeping her expertise to a minimum, because having her multiple jobs would feel really confusing for me. Black Mage and Goldsmith (goldsmith actually makes more sense than black mage due to her history and upbringing) are what I'm looking at right now for her, and there is a reason for her turning to the void as opposed to Astral/Umbral magicks. I'll have that outlined in her history as well :3 And thanks for the link! It will definitely come in handy x3 OwO

Thanks, all of you, for the welcome! @Faye - I actually borrowed the name from a character from the anime Durarara!! >w< I thought the name was cute so I adopted it. Also yiss kitties! @Unnamed - I do, actually! I want to incorporate what I have in-game onto the forum, which brings me to what I feel like should be an obvious question, but one way or the other I'm not sure? The character is a black mage, maxed out (with several other jobs, but I don't think incorporating those as canon would be realistic). Is that okay? Or is she starting fresh in the growth department? I'm less interested in having her grow in abilities and more about going on a more personal journey, all things considered. (I'll have her history drafted once I figure out how to create her wiki page). @Miryn - I'll be sure to ask if I come up with any! Thanks for the welcome!! <3

Hi everyone! As you can see, I'm new here. I registered as my character's full name because why not? So you can just call me Maya OOC. I usually go by Celty, so whichever works for you I guess? Aaah, sorry I'm so bad at these intro threads. I guess I should start with a little bit about myself. I'm a college graduate and I currently have a full time job that... I will eventually grow to tolerate :'D and I majored in Printmaking! Printmaking is basically drawing, but more process-intensive. I've been playing FFXIV for a few months now, starting in the summer. I'm an old player from FFXI, which I started as a wee teenager in 2004 and eventually quit in 2010. I miss the old game, and at first I was disheartened with 14 because of how different it was. But after giving it a chance and my full attention, it has my undying love (except for the parts that I don't love, but those are technical and generally mild.) For as long as I've been in the Final Fantasy MMORPG business, I've been rping for way longer! I've been RPing for around ...ahh, I started at 11 years old, and I'm 24 now so that's, what... 13 years? ish? Oh good god, should I be embarrassedjfkdsfjldfjls I currently admin a Skyrim forum, and I've been experiencing an itch for some FFXIV roleplay. I'm glad I found this site because it will allow me to develop my character and get to interact with others! Hopefully she'll be as interesting to you guys as she's become to me in the last few weeks. Writing is one of my greatest passions, so I'll never pass up an opportunity to pump out some narrative, especially for a game that I adore to pieces. Umm... I think that's about it? I'm from the Cactuar server, and there's little to no RPing on there whatsoever. Which is kinda sad but at the same time, I don't really like RPing in-game like that... I need to be able to have time to think over my responses and what my character would say, as opposed to anything rapidfire. Um... I guess if you have any questions, or want to RP with my character, give me a shout? I'm going to busy myself with looking around so I can get my character set up... if that's okay? I don't wanna go too fast on here in case there's something I need to do first. ovo It's lovely to meet you all! ^D^
