Max

Hell naw. Minfilia clearly belongs with... me.

ah, sorry I mighta rambled a bit in the OP //edits// I'm basically looking for contacts, links, plots, people willing to interact with Max p much. Also looking for a FC. But neither takes precedent over the other. And yeah I'm definitely interested! We should set something up!

obligatory selfie: [align=center] [/align] [align=center]❝ N' then the diremite shoots a web! Thwipity thwip thwip! And then I go 'AAGH!! My knee!' ❞[/align] Clad in green and filled to the brim with enthusiasm, Max is a young dreamer hailing from the Twelveswood. He strives to protect the wood, even if it means leaving home to quell the impending doom. But of course, he can't do it alone! UPDATED! Hey hey! I've met a lot of wonderful people through this thread, and hope to meet s'more! I got invited to a FC so I'm no longer looking for one! HOWEVER! I'm interested in joining a Linkshell or two. Any recommendations would be great! (IC/OOC, Networking, those types) I'm still looking for connections! I'm hoping to get him involved in some sort of storyline. Not his own though, preferably someone else's (if you'd have him). If anyone has a personal story they wanna flesh out and need a background character or a buddy, Max is here for ya! Casual encounters are fine, too! You can reach me by posting in this thread, PMing me, or contacting me IG. Hope to hear from ya! (Link to Max's profile is in my signature)

ah, I love looking at 1.0 screenies. thanks for posting these! I wish I could've played back then (the mechanics didn't look very fun but the ambience is awesome)

It's... so beautiful... *wipes tear* so badass. i hope it's not bound to a specific class Also, can someone PM me the spoilery NPCs that appeared during the broadcast? I missed them (during the tour of Ishgard), and I couldn't rely on the chat to give a clear answer because everyone was yelling for that Ben guy

If Hammer finds himself in the Shroud, Max would love to pester him haha I'm starting Max anew, so I'm kinda in the same boat. If you'd be down for some connections and whatnot, definitely pm me! I love to plot!

Canonically, neither of my characters have taken a life yet (Although, Pairo might have indirectly through arson) But I'll answer theoretically! - How does your character deal with killing? Pairo is unapologetic and a wee-bit divergent. He'd probably absolve himself of all guilt and place the blame on the victim. 'They shouldn't of gotten in the way.' 'They should have ran.' 'They attacked me first.' Max on the other hand wouldn't resort to killing if he could help it. He's more the type to incapacitate his enemy or beat them to submission. He's more mindful, I think, of life and the value of it. He couldn't stomach the burden of murder. - How did your character feel after his/her first kill? Pairo wouldn't be too in his feelings about it. He (ridiculously) justifies everything he does in his head. If Max were to kill someone, it would've been a complete accident. He'd probably freak out. - Does your character mull over it later on? (Exe. The nightmares) Definitely not for Pairo. It would be yesterday's news. Max... he'd probably mull over it the rest of his days.

Heya Otto. I think you mistook the intent of my thread(?) I'm not demanding an explanation or apology from anyone. I'm curious as to why X character is away from Y through a story perspective. Backstories are the foreground of our characters, so I don't believe it's out of line to ask. We all have reasons. If you choose not to share them with others that's OK. (Normally I wouldn't respond to these types of things but the last line of your post came off as a jab. If not I apologize for taking it that way)

Hello! I'd like to pose a question for those with characters that are oft away from their stations. Why is your Ishgardian Knight mingling in Ul'dah? What is your Wood Wailer doing outside the Twelveswood? So on and so forth. IC and OOC perspectives are welcome!

source You basically fill out the form of your character's battle quotes against the poster above you. (Alternatively, you can just list what your character would say against anyone if you can't think of a quote for a specific person) Form: [size=medium][font=Trebuchet MS](Character Name)[/font][/size] [b]Battle intro:[/b] (Name of song) [spoiler](Optional youtube link)[/spoiler] [b]Victory:[/b] (Winning quote) [b]Defeat:[/b] (Losing quote) [b]Assist:[/b] (Being called on for assistance) [b]Taunt:[/b] (Taunting your opponent) [b]Reacting to Taunt:[/b] (Your reaction to opponent's taunt) [b]Flee:[/b] (You're fleeing from battle) [b]Reacting to Flee:[/b] (Your opponent is fleeing) [b]Tie:[/b] (Reaction to a draw) [b]Perfect Victory:[/b] (Defeated opponent with ease)

Kage's beret is so sixth astral era. Get with the times.

Sorry Romani for letting the ghosts get you and the cows. I ran outta arrows

I tend to show, not tell. I wouldn't outright say 'My character has The Disorder', I'd rather let it seep into my narrative and allow the reader to make that conclusion. With that said, I wouldn't consciously give my (roleplay) character a specified mental illness. I don't feel strongly to play those types of characters, and I wouldn't be confident in my ability to represent them accurately. I've had experience in the past with dealing with muses who suffer from mental illness (mostly on Tumblr) and judging from my experience alone, a lot of them were given disorders as accessories. To make them appear more edgy, unique, misunderstood, etc. It really served no purpose to the character. Furthermore, it seemed like the people writing them had no idea what they were babbling about, and made it seem like the debilitating effects of mental illness made their character cute and appealing. I can definitely see why people would be annoyed/turned off by those types of characters. Not because of the mental illness itself, but the way the person behind the character is portraying it. It can be overbearing, especially if it's being shoved in your face. (ie: Ooo Look at me! I suffer from The Disorder!) Anyway, my advice to anyone considering making one: Don't let the mental illness define the character. Do your research.

I have you all added to my search-to-see-if-online-when-online list. Papairo is created IG now. I hope I'll be able to catch you guys

OF: lol @ picture OT: I have to slightly disagree with you there. Anyone can respond to your posts on tumblr (via reblog) if it's a public posting. I also don't agree with the implication that it's only cowardly if you do it on Tumblr, but fine if you talk smack in linkshells, free company chats, or in skype groups. I mean, it's pretty much the same. You're probably more likely to rile up a server-side mob in a FC/LS than a whiny FFXIV-tagged tumblr post.

A high collar?

Eh. I haven't seen any of this in the ff14 tag recently. Then again I'm not on it very often. If someone is incessantly harassing someone, picking on them, and encouraging others to bully them then I absolutely see the issue. Howeverrrr... If someone is simply venting about something or someone on their personal blog then that's their prerogative. Ignore it and move on.

Ah I love your wiki page. I'll definitely contact you once I get Papairo set up! Lots of trouble will be had once the two meet, for sure :lol: Ooo, can you tell me more about her? (Either here or through PM) sounds like an explosion in the works :geek: I STILL NEED TO ADD YOU ON MAX AS WELL. I keep missing the chance to add you online. Soon

Hey Zach! I just wanted to say before I begin that you can RP whatever you want and I'm not dictating what you should or shouldn't do [/disclaimer] With that said, Zachary seems to be an all-around character. By that I mean he has A LOT of specialities. He's a Machinist, Warrior, Ninja, Scholar, Summoner, Dark Knight, Thaumaturge, and he also seems to have healing capabilities thanks to a primal relic (Munificent Mogtome). Additionally he's a blacksmith, armorer, goldsmith, alchemist, weaver, leather worker, carpenter, miner, tailor, botanist, and a charismatic merchant... He's 'obsessed with raising and controlling the dead', so he's a necromancer of sorts as well. Now, this is understandable from a GAMEPLAY perspective. You have no class limits due to the mechanics. But from a lore/immersion perspective it's a bit of an overkill. You'd probably want a character that specializes in one or two things mainly, with the other things being minor hobbies and talents. To become skilled in a certain craft you have to dedicate a lot of time and energy into it. It's not something like "Oh, I'm going to be a X today, and then become a Y next week." Realistically, it doesn't work that way. It's like.. the Dragonborn being the master of all the factions in Skyrim. Gameplay perspective = doable. But in the sense of realism it isn't very probable. I'm no lore expert so I won't touch his history regarding the Zodiark and Moogle stuff. Unnamed Mercenary is really good with lore though and I'm sure he'd help you make sense of things if you message him! So yeah, that's my criticism. He's over the top.

-removed-

"No."

Retcon, rewrite, compromise, etc. I honestly wouldn't be that disappointed if a headcanon of mine is debunked. I tend to expect it beforehand when roleplaying an ongoing series. I usually just adapt by rewriting it to fit the new lore. Either that or doing away with certain aspects of his story completely. IE Max's Ala Mhigan background. If the story takes us there, there's a HUGE chance that a lot of his backstory could be invalidated (which is why I'm currently in the process of genericizing him, so his character is less likely to be rocked horrendously by future developments in the story)
