Blythe

Your art is so cute! I might purchase a piece when I get back from my convention this weekend. :3

Kellach, I might not know ya, but you are a fantasic person. C:

Hello there! And welcome, welcome. Your Dunesfolk sounds great right now. I'D love to see you in game sometime.

You know, everytime I'm in game, I keep forgetting to ask for an invite, Nebbs. (Then again, every time I remember, you are off line. : P)

If you have any need for a DPS to help clear it, I am definitely willing to help. Most times I'm pretty available. However, anything this Thursday through Sunday is a no go for me. (Yay convention weekend!) I personally love Steps of Faith and would love to get people their clear.

Aww, that little drawing is adorable. :3c Anyway, welcome, welcome! I hope to see you around. : D

Nebbs was actually the first person to RP with me. (Yay!) I felt very at ease. And I shall ever remember knights in shining armor and pirates. Also, Nebula is really cute. :3 Which reminds me... Nalli needs to return a certain romance book.

From what u know of my Au Ra's personality so far, she would probably just blink, wondering what just happrned. Then, once everything settles in and she realizes it was a black mage, she'd get extremely curious and bombard the person with a ton of questions. Trying to get all the information she could possibly get before she embarrassed and excuses herself for being a little nosy.

I see art. ; u ; I also hope I am not too late for this!

^This is best, imo. Agreed. And I think this makes the most sense for the Au Ra. (Also, the forehead touching sound sooo cute!)

Hello There! And welcome to the RPx. I'm rather new myself but everyone here has been very friendly. C:

(My avatar and signature don't help...>>; ) But considering when I started playing FFXIV, I was wanting to play an Au Ra then for my main, RP or not. (...I blame my friend for showing them to be before they were released...o-o) Thankfully, since I just started RPing, there shouldn't be too many issues for me. And the one person in my FC and I are already figured out how we are retconning my racial change. But that mention of the magical girl transformation made me laugh so hard. : P

*covers face* You found me! > u <

Well to me, I personally like both of them. So, I don't think I am going to help you out much. But if I'd have to pick out of the two.. erm... well... I'd just.... Nope. I don't know which. For some reason though, the brown makes him look a bit older and closer to that age range you want to be in. I hope that helps~ (Also, blind characters are <3. *grabby hands*)

Here's another one I took with the same Xaela I made earlier.

I swear to god, your reactions almost made me spit out my food laughing.

Well, this is what I have done so far. Considering my head is all over the place with concepts right now, might as well just show you guys the face (since it's the only thing I've been looking at...)

Agreed. Even 5'0 to 5'5 would seem rather better to me. But I digress Since I'm not SE. Going off the idea of Japanese idols, most would fall in that range tbh.

I'm slightly peeved over the height, now that one of the screens shows it for the females (since I prefer slightly taller characters), but it's nothing I can't work with. It's not like it's going to change any character concept I have for it. Plus side on height: now I won't feel like a giant with Miqo'tes (despite being a Midlander). : P

Must... prevent... screaming... to ...not...wake...everyone

Since I am fairly new to roleplaying on FF and MMOs in general, I am actually waiting for more information before really getting nitty-gitty with information. I have ideas in my head for what I could do with my character for such things as how she got where she was and reasons her 'used' (one everyone RP and non-RP can see) name is different than her given Au Ra name. (Since she's going to be Xaelan, I've gotta wait a bit... ;-; ) Overall, it's too early to say what else I can do with my character currently besides things like personality and a tiny bit of history. : S

Though I might as well put this here before changing to Au Ra goodness in June~

Thank you all for the immense warm welcome! : D *attempts to say hi to everyone* @Nebbs: I will be sure to check out that RP Handbook. It looks fairly good for me to educate myself on. Hehe. And that explanation of MMO RP makes a lot more sense. It's a bit of a mix of the two then. I think that I'll be able to adapt pretty quickly then. And while I might not join an FC, I definitely will check out some of the LS (I still have yet to actually join just one). @Unnamed: Lore wise, I definitely might be asking you some questions. I still need to read up on a lot of the lore though. But I know (from a bit of lurking) everything is up to interpretation and all that gewd stuff. And it's okay if you don't know a lot about the lore for Auri, there's not a lot anyway. :c @So'larin: Hello! And we have felt that pain together. ; o ; I've actually also stayed up for other people to let them know when the server has gone up because the really weird times Balmung actually goes up. I will take you up for your RP session soon! Don't you worry. c: @Bryn: Hello! c: I'm sure you will. I do kind of run around a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if I saw you but didn't know who you were. @Khuja'a: Hello there! @Casden: Hehe. Hiya! And... yay that I'm not a Miqo'te? >.>; I think they look adorable, I just can't play one... @Barengar: Hi hi! And you will most definitely... one day soon... hopefulllllly. :'3 @Nailah: KITTEH! Also, hello there. I see Zelda homage there. @Coaleque: Hello! Nice to meet ya. c: EDITED IN BECAUSE I DIDN'T SEE YOU GUYS AND I DUN WANNA DOUBLE POST! ; A ; @Kellach: You've seen... hotter messes. Gasp! And It's a-okay. Hehe. But thanks for the warm welcome. (And I obviously will now be stalking everyone before going up to them in game now...Shhh) @Faye: Hi there! And thank you for the welcome. c:

Hello! Blythe here. I'm from the Balmung server, which I stayed up until the last minute before maintenance to create my character just two odd months ago. (I enjoyed the thrill of possibly having server shut down in the middle of making my character.) Someone from tumblr actually referred me here and it feels nice and cozy so far. While I have played countless MMOs and I have played on many forum roleplays, I am an absolute newblet on MMO roleplays. ; A ; Please be gentle with me! For me, this is going to be a new experience from two things that I love and just mushing them together. (Hey, at least I got the /em function down. It's a start. : D) But I must say from what I see on Balmung (when I am visiting Quicksand mostly), I enjoy watching people roleplay. That just made me sound a bit like a creep. >>; Now, to answer some things from the thread marked 'optional'~ Character ideas/info Currently, my character idea is forming around an Au Ra, specifically from the Xaelan clan. Her tribe has immigrated to Eorzea during the past generations, due to a battle with another tribe (I believe this would be the right word) almost wiping the tribe out. I'm still deciding where they would have immigrated to, but I feel like it would be a split between Thanalan or Coerthas (because i love the cold myself). I'm still working out more details though on how she'd be played right now. (Because of RL finances, I'll still be keeping my original name and probably saying why her name is such while still giving her a Xaelan name - when the conventions for names are up - for RP purposes with other Auri. I hope that makes sense. > n <; ) What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy? I would probably say a mixture of light and medium, probably more on the medium side. I want to have a nice little mix between roleplaying and gaming. Anything from real life you're comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc) I recently graduated from college last year with a Bachelor's degree. However, I am still looking for a job. I am tutoring a 5th grader on vacation. And I am a total manga nerd and I going to the convention near me yearly. (Gosh I hope this didn't sound like a hot mess. >__>)
