Weffrey

Welcome! ARR is shaping up to be great! Hope you enjoy your time here.

Very nice work! :thumbsup:

The finished products are looking wonderful. So awesome! That scythe needs to be put into the game, it looks so great! Send your work to the dev team when they're all done to show them that the Twelve can be depicted.

I hope you will continue to post more of your work! It's great!

That was a great story. I hope you meet back up with Stephon!

Welcome to the RPC x2!

For a lot of these questions, especially the two last questions, you'll be able to tell with the group you're rolling with, as a lot of these questions will resolve themselves naturally. I would look at it considering what the purpose of the RP is for, and what the location is supposed to replicate-- like if your group went to a sanctioned off area that mobs aren't even supposed to be around, but had no choice to hold the event in a mob-infested area. Other times, there may be a gathering where mobs will occassionally wander in, aggressive or not, and a player will kill it as soon as it gets close, just to do it (often out of boredom or to help with the emmersion). In places where your group is supposed to be fighting together, I think often than not RP will be done when killing most things, unless if there are a lot of trash mobs and your group...ehh, for a lack of a better term, clears an area so that RP may actually resume without interruption. But you're spot on, I would just see what happens, but generally you'll get a feel for the RP that should be "included"/"skipped". Thank you Moltove and Siobhain. I now see it will depend on whoever I'm RPing with for sure. Also, just want to say again thanks to everyone helping me learn about RP. I am so excited to try it as Bhav once ARR comes online. If anymore glaring questions pop up I'll continue posting here.

Thanks again Eva! So I guess the safe bet if either of these situations occur is to wait and see what others do and either act IC or OOC to continue along.

Thanks for the help all! Two questions have been bothering me lately. 21. I gather dieing in game doesn't mean your character actually dies, but rather is knocked out or wounded. However, let's say a party was RPing in a dungeon and everyone died. Would that still mean the whole group was knocked out/wounded, or would you RP that the group retreated and it's the individuals' decision to say if they were wounded or not? 22. What's your favorite FFXIV monster? When a mob aggros is that taken into account in RP? Such as if a group was discussing a plan and was camped out somewhere when all of a sudden something comes waltzing in and attacks someone. Would that be RPed as an unexpected ambush, or would the group kill it and ignore that it happened?

-cough- I'unno what you're talking about.. <3 Sometimes dat formatting is confusing. Haha, thanks again Aysun! :thumbsup:

Thank you for the welcome Alothia! Everyone around here has been very kind and helpful. Can't wait to jump in and see what shenanigans Bhav gets himself into!

Thanks for the Welcome Nel! Also, not sure if someone fixed my post, but it looks better than yesterday! So if someone did alter it from the mess I created, thank you so much!

I. Basic Info Characters: Bhav Yahunesso(Balmung) Weffrey Pencroff(Excalibur) Primary character: Bhav Yahunesso Linkshells: None Currently Primary RP linkshell: None Currently II. RP Style Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Due to Bhav being my roleplaying character, I would like to become medium/heavy. However, I am new to roleplaying, so might have to start at light and work my way up as I get better. Views on RP combat and injuries: Again, being new to roleplaying not sure how combat works between players in regard to what options there are to roleplay out a fight scene. At the current time I'll stick to fighting nonplayer characters. I am fine with roleplaying injuries. Views on IC romance: Fine if it makes sense. My character personally has his own goal and will not be seeking a love partner. However, if something happens that changes him that's fine. Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc): All fine except family because I wouldn't want them to disappear if they quit the game and didn't inform me. I want to make strong friendships for sure! Views on lore: Simply, try to stick to the lore, but if it can make sense and is creative, go for it! Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc): Whatever the people I am currently roleplaying with use, I'll follow suit. III. Other Info Country: USA Timezone: EST Contact info: Here in a PM or in game /tell to Bhav Yahunesso [align=center][glow=blue]~Special announcements can be found in the posts below~[/glow][/align] I tried to copy and paste the format, but for some reason mine looks different and things are screwy. I don't know what I did wrong. :cry:

Welcome! Your art is great, so I don't know what you're talking about! FFX is one of my favorite Final Fantasies. I played that to death for sure! FFXII was fun, but not played to death like FFX was for me. Your avatar picture has my favorite character from that game. I liked Balthier too though.

@Eva, Asyria, and Siobhain: Thanks again for your answers. I think I'll be ready to start coming up with some plans for my character! I'll hold off posting anymore questions to concentrate on forming my character. I'll add more if I suddenly have a nagging one come to mind.

Another great artist! There are so many here it's great! Looking forward to see the finished WIP's.

(Sorry for delay.) Welcome to this great band of helpful people! ^^

Welcome! The people here are so helpful, so if needed ask anything!

Congrats on artist of the month! It makes sense, especially with this giant project that is a great uniting and exciting experience with all the characters involved!

Thank you Aysun! I'll PM you and any others who feel like aiding me later in the week. Sorry Deirdre, but I don't have skype. I am lost when it comes to the latest technology/anything to do with technology. Sorry again, but I think I'll just stick to the site to communicate because it's just simpler for a simple person like me to handle. :blush: 16. How is hair coloring seen? For example, someone has green hair. Would they say they dyed their hair green, or are all the colors possible to be born with in regard to hair color in Eorzea? What about highlights? Would people assume they added highlights, or since it's fantasy someone could be born with something like blue and purple hair? 17. What is/are the way(s) people RP calling a chocobo? In game it's obviously a whistle and then they appear. Is that how most roleplayers call them through whistling? 18. Is leveling mostly done IC as something like training exercises, or done more often OOC? 19. Let's say you want to RP with someone that would lead to something like leveling, exploring, or a player-created storyline. Is the best way to just /tell the person and come up with a reason IC to bump into each other, or do most RPers want an element of surprise and would not like a preplanned /tell? 20. You just gained access to having anything you want for dinner. What are you having? Does your actual level in a class/job reflect your proficiency? I assume it does, but is there anyway a slightly lower level can defeat a higher level if they RP in such a way that they could win? Or is it generally accepted that the higher level character will pretty much always win?

Great art! I especially like your latest artwork of the primals you recently posted.

@Eva, Aysun, Asyria, and Siobhain: Thanks for being extremely helpful and responding so quickly! I think I am almost ready to begin forming my character. I may need some help to ensure I don't do anything wrong, and what I create makes sense within Eorzea. @Deirdre: Thanks for the reply! I truly want to fit in, so I am asking a lot to get a good feel of how RPers react to certain situations, so I'll know what to do. I am very excited to actually get into RPing when ARR is ready! Also, I'll do 5 more questions tomorrow. Then I want to start brainstorming my character. If anyone wants to assist me in creating my character please PM me. I'll shoot over my ideas back through PM.

Thank you for the reply Vee! Those are very kind words, thank you. I hope I will be decent at it and yeah I'll definitely ask for help.

@Asyria and Aysun: Thank you! Thank you! Thank You! Thank you both immensely!!! Your responses were very helpful! @Asyria: #6 was in regard to how namedays are dealt with. I wasn't sure how to word that question, but Aysun provided a great link that answered it. I'll do five more today and wait some time, so I don't go overboard in one day. 11. During an RP secession if someone logs off unexpectedly is the "scene" frozen until that person returns, or would the characters react to the person disappearing? 12. Are there guidelines to how names are formed for each races, or can any name created go to any race? 13. What are some examples or the norm for what linkshells actually are physically? 14. Where is most IC chatting done in game? /say, /l, or /p? 15. What's your favorite color? Let's say there is an event posted on a site either here on the RPC or on a personal LS site detailing an event that all are welcomed to join. I assume characters can't just know about it obviously, so is the best method of learning of an event (IC) through pretending to see a poster in town, talking with close friends, seeking the person holding the event to come up with a reason for arriving, or something else?

*A mysterious green box appears covered with bright white question marks.* *When you peek inside the small opening on the top of the box, you find mounds and mounds of folded letters in a space larger than what the outside of the box conveys.* I thought this would be a good thread to have for anyone with ANY questions at all. It hopefully will serve as a center to get any RP/FFXIV-related questions answered in one location. As a new roleplayer, naturally I feel nervous and lost currently. I want to get from :blush: :arrow: :thumbsup:. So I'll start with 10 of my many questions. (Sorry that there is no order to this. Just kind of blurting out concerns to ensure when I start my character I do it correctly.) 1. What if IC I am supposed to remember something, but OOC I have forgotten. Should I use the (( )) to ask to be reminded, or should I roleplay that my character has forgotten too? 2. What should be the first area to focus on when coming up with a character? 3. As a new roleplayer would it be easier to explain/roleplay the time jump or to be someone who wasn't frozen in time for the five years? 4. What are the Eorzean terms for today, tomorrow, yesterday, height, weight, minutes, seconds, hours(this one is bells correct?), anything else that wouldn't match what you would say in real life? 5. Do you match the time to real life time? Such as if an event was occurring at 8PM east, would you say IC 8 bells? 6. How are birthdays handled? 7. If my character got into an argument with another should I remind the person OOC that it's strictly IC, and I am not angry with them personally to ensure no unneeded drama occurs? 8. Is voice chat required for roleplaying ever? (I've always just typed in mmos. It's what I'm used to and comfortable with for now.) 9. How is gil roleplayed? For example, if someone was putting on a show that cost 50 gil would I actually give away 50 gil or just "/em hands over 50 gil." 10. What's your favorite ice cream flavor? How is running/walking handled? Do you mainly walk and switch to running when the situation calls for it when RPing?
